Chapter 618 618: It's Over! Someone is trying to set me up!
"Sect Hierarch! After Xiao Taizhen and Zhong Hua received the message, neither of them had much of a reaction! It seems they both thought the Sect Hierarch was merely summoning The Great Young Holy Maiden for a conference, so they each sent a subordinate to the Morning Conference Hall to scout for information, which are already under the Sect Hierarch's control, right?"
Master Wu diligently reported the surveillance situation to Zhuang Bifan!
But Zhuang Bifan heard it and was somewhat incredulous!
When The Great Young Holy Maiden returned from Guangcheng, Zhong Hua and Xiao Taizhen were fully protective of the two girls.
Now that he had staged such a large-scale operation to capture The Great Young Holy Maiden, how could Xiao Taizhen, as their mentor, show no reaction at all?
Zhuang Bifan always felt something was off, but at the moment, all the facts seemed to be telling him that everything was normal.
"Fine! You quickly research what's going on with the Puppet Corpse!"
After Zhuang Bifan hung up with Master Wu, he hesitated slightly and still felt something was wrong, "Xiao Li, go personally to The Great Young Holy Maiden's residence and ask Captain Cha what exactly is happening!"
For some reason, Zhuang Bifan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
It was as if something big was about to happen tonight.
If he couldn't handle Ye Fan, was he now incapable of dealing with Xiao Taizhen and that old fox, Zhong Hua?
Thinking back on his life, since the power struggle twenty years ago, Zhuang Bifan had steadily solidified his power... Before encountering Ye Fan, Zhuang Bifan's path had been very smooth.
Ding ling ling!
His assistant Xiao Li had been out for only five minutes when the phone call came in.
"Sect Hierarch... Something is wrong! Captain Cha just reported that you personally went to the Saintess's residence and took away The Great Young Holy Maiden... and made them stand as punishment, to reflect behind closed doors... This..."
The voice of assistant Xiao Li trembled!
Others might not know, but Xiao Li had always been by Zhuang Bifan's side.
Today, for the whole day, assistant Xiao Li had not left Zhuang Bifan's side.
Right after Zhuang Bifan gave the order for Captain Cha to invite The Great Young Holy Maiden over, Zhuang Bifan had been in the conference hall the entire time. How could he have possibly gone to see The Great Young Holy Maiden himself?
"What? What nonsense are you talking about? I've been in the Morning Conference Hall this whole time, when have I ever gone there... Get me Cha'er Tai on the phone, what exactly happened?" Zhuang Bifan jumped up from his seat, agitated.
Zhuang Bifan was clearly in the great hall, yet another Zhuang Bifan had appeared near The Great Young Holy Maiden's place.
Zhuang Bifan was well aware that he had been impersonated.
Was this Zhong Hua's doing, or Xiao Taizhen's?
Hmph!
Playing this trick on Laotzu, huh?
"Sect Hierarch..." At this point, Captain Cha also roughly understood that he had been deceived, thus his voice was somewhat timid while talking to Zhuang Bifan.
"You good-for-nothing, you've followed Laotzu for so many years, and you can't even recognize my aura? Idiot! Where did that guy take The Great Young Holy Maiden?"
The Great Young Holy Maiden was just a pair of Puppet Corpses anyway, so it didn't matter much that they were taken away by the impersonated Zhuang Bifan.
However, Zhuang Bifan was worried that if the impersonator was indeed Xiao Taizhen, knowing so many of his secrets, and using his appearance to issue random orders among the Gu Sect's Direct Lineage Troops, it could cause a lot of trouble.
So, now it was urgent to catch that fraudulent "Zhuang Bifan"!
"Sect Hierarch, that fake bastard, took The Great Young Holy Maiden toward your sleeping chambers... He seemed to be saying he was going to sleep!" Captain Cha, straightforward as he was, relayed almost exactly what Ye Fan had said to Zhuang Bifan!
"To sleep?"
Zhuang Bifan was chilled for a few seconds, then the next moment, he exploded, "Dammit! What kind of bull... What the hell? This is like trying to put a green hat on me... Damn it... Quick, assemble the troops, surround my sleeping chambers..."
"My dear Yan!"
Up to this moment, Zhuang Bifan had still been worrying about Liu Yan in his heart.
What Zhuang Bifan didn't know was that, at that very moment, Liu Yan, with Ye Fan at her side, was "robbing the house," intending to directly topple Zhuang Bifan's crystal.
...
The location of Zhuang Bifan's secret Heavenly Prison was quite peculiar; it wasn't near the sleeping quarters, nor was it near the Morning Conference Hall.
It was under a public restroom of the Gu Sect!
The entrance was in a utility room next to the restroom.
Ye Fan looked at the floorboards that had been opened up, revealing the dark entrance to the tunnel below.
Those floorboards and the tunnel bore special intricate patterns, Rune Talismans and the like, which seemed to be capable of blocking perception.
Ye Fan probed for a while, and even with his Devil's Pupil, breaking through them proved difficult.
Such a hidden location, if it wasn't for Liu Yan leading the way, would have been very hard for Ye Fan to find.
"Young Master Ye, inside this secret Heavenly Prison, apart from detaining the Great Young Holy Maiden, it's said that it also holds the Gu Sect's former Sect Hierarch, the previous Great Protector, several Elders, etc..."
"Those Elders who opposed Zhuang Bifan back in the day, all of them are locked up here! But Zhuang Bifan hasn't killed them, keeping them alive, supposedly to track down the whereabouts of the most daunting Myriad Gu Cauldron!"
Ye Fan was taken aback. The Myriad Gu Cauldron was on his person, wasn't it?
Hmph!
In recent years, the Gu Sect had been frantically trying to get Great Xia to lift its ban, attempting to step out of the Miaojiang Mountains.
It turned out that behind the scenes, it was Zhuang Bifan pushing this agenda, and the true Sect Hierarch had already been replaced.
In that case, since he had encountered this situation, it wouldn't hurt to rescue the old Sect Leader and then let the protagonist switch out the people in charge.
"Please follow me, Young Master Ye! You might be unprotected outside, but Zhuang Bifan has arranged for the Direct Lineage's Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder to personally sit in below with the strong ones. Remember to coordinate with me later… like this…"
"Understood!"
Ye Fan glanced at Liu Yan's graceful figure and smiled slyly.
As Zhuang Bifan's most cherished woman, Liu Yan was usually present when handling many matters of the Gu Sect.
And now, Liu Yan was by his side.
With Ye Fan's superb Face-changing Technique, coupled with Liu Yan's verification.
One might fear that even if the real Zhuang Bifan came face to face with Ye Fan, having the ordinary followers of the Gu Sect come to identify him, most would probably believe that Ye Fan was the genuine one, right?
By then, the real Zhuang Bifan would ironically seem like the fake, and if he then gave orders for Zhuang Bifan's subordinates to turn around and attack Zhuang Bifan, that picture would be too splendid!
Merely thinking about it, Ye Fan felt especially excited.
Hehe!
Zhuang Bifan likes to play games, doesn't he?
Well, today I shall give you a good game to play…
"Stop right there! In the dead of night, what brings the mistress to the frontier of the Heavenly Prison Forbidden Land?" Just as Liu Yan entered the spacious hall below the tunnel, Fourth Elder Yu Qiang, leading a large group of strong men, surrounded Liu Yan. "Please go back, mistress! The Sect Hierarch has expressly commanded that, in this period, absolutely no one can barge into the Heavenly Prison Forbidden Land!"
"Really? So, if I enter, would that count as barging in?"
What do you think?
