Chapter 1472: Chapter 1472: Too Many Coincidences

When Chen Moxiang tied the rope around Wang Sijing’s waist, he made a very complex knot that required some time to untie.

After tying it, the other end of the rope was held by Lin Tian to prevent this woman from escaping or playing any tricks.

Lin Tian wanted to learn something about the Ru Ban Lock from Wang Sijing’s mouth, but unfortunately, this woman’s lips were so tightly sealed that she wouldn’t say anything.

The four of them walked in the underground palace for almost half an hour, with no surprises and no gains. In this level’s stone chamber, it was all the resting places of the Wang Family’s ancestors, in which Lin Tian had no interest at all.

"Why don’t we go down another level and take a look?" Xu Jiazhi suggested. Regarding the underground palace, he heard about it from Kun Yun, so he knew very little. The "Tangxi Meridian" and the Thousand Jin Rock Fragment were obtained from the fifth level; beyond that, he didn’t know much.

"Hmm, it seems that’s the only option." Lin Tian agreed with Xu Jiazhi’s suggestion. This fourth level was a ’Jia’-shaped tomb chamber, to which Lin Tian saw no value.

Wang Sijing said indifferently, "I know where the entrance is, but there’s one thing I must say upfront. Since the mechanisms in the underground palace have been altered, I can’t guarantee anything."

Xu Jiazhi chuckled lightly, "We don’t need you to lead the way. I know where the entrance to the fifth level is. Just go straight to the end of the corridor."

Wang Sijing turned around, looking at Xu Jiazhi with curiosity, and asked, "Mr. Xv, I truly can’t understand, how do you know so much about our Wang Family’s underground palace? Apart from the Wang Family’s direct line, no outsiders are allowed in here. The only person who could have told you this is Kun Yun! That old freak, he came to this underground palace not long ago, wandered around, and stole some things."

"Mr. Xv, everything you know, did Kun Yun tell you?"

Wang Sijing asked calmly.

Xu Jiazhi raised an eyebrow, his heart pounding faster. He didn’t expect that Wang Sijing could guess just from a few words.

However, Xu Jiazhi still responded calmly, "Indeed, it was him."

With Wang Sijing here, this matter couldn’t be concealed. Xu Jiazhi also knew about the mutual enmity like a bottomless chasm between Kun Yun and Lin Tian.

Moreover, he approached Lin Tian with strong intentions, naturally wanting to hide all this. Now being exposed by Wang Sijing, a fire of anger was also hidden in his heart.

Lin Tian’s brows rose subtly, knowing full well that Wang Sijing was trying to sow discord, but inside, he grew wary of Xu Jiazhi. He didn’t like the feeling of being kept in the dark!

In fact, Lin Tian had long known that Kun Yun had been to the Wang Family’s underground palace, but he never connected him with Xu Jiazhi. After all, they were two completely unrelated people.

Wang Sijing walked and asked with a chuckle, "Lin Tian, is Mr. Xv learning an evil technique, your newly accepted disciple, right?"

"Mm."

"Do you know what Kun Yun stole from the underground palace besides the Thousand Jin Rock Fragment?"

"Just say it directly, stop beating around the bush."

Suddenly, Lin Tian’s heart skipped a beat, could it be that the Ru Ban Lock was stolen? Otherwise, wouldn’t this trip be in vain?

Wang Sijing glanced at Lin Tian, reading his thoughts from his expression. With a cold snort, she said, "It’s not the Ru Ban Lock. It’s a Heart Method for Inner Power Cultivation left by my ancestors, called ’Tangxi Meridian.’"

Each word was clearly articulated, as if striking several times on Lin Tian’s heart.

Back when he accepted Xu Jiazhi as a disciple, it was because he had gone insane practicing the ’Tangxi Meridian.’ But now, it seems it might not have been that simple!

"I also remember you have a good brother, named Li, who is still lingering in that special care ward in the hospital. He got stabbed in the abdomen with the Thousand-Pound Rock Dagger, and you thought the perpetrator was someone from the Wang Family. Without knowing, the dagger had already been stolen. So, the culprit couldn’t have been from the Wang Family. It’s very likely to be your good disciple!"

As Lin Tian listened, his brows furrowed. The mysteries in his heart grew more, not wanting to believe Wang Sijing, but indeed, she made sense, and Xu Jiazhi just admitted his relationship with Kun Yun.

"Spitting fabrications!" Xu Jiazhi shouted angrily, "The dagger was stolen by that old Kun Yun, I merely knew him, does this make me the murderer? Your lies are quite the tale!"

"I heard that the reason Lin Tian accepted you as a disciple was entirely because you practiced a Cultivation Technique, rushed to form a Golden Core, failed, and damaged your meridians. In a crisis, Lin Tian happened to be brought by you, claiming this wasn’t premeditated, I don’t believe it."

"Also, Lin Tian previously told me about a method to solidify a Golden Core, identical to the ’Tangxi Meridian,’ so he must have seen it, making it easy to guess what technique made you go insane back then. Since Kun Yun gave you the technique and the murder weapon too, it’s nothing extraordinary."

Pausing, Wang Sijing then laughed, "I suddenly remembered something else, after the food poisoning at the farm stay, Mr. Xv was the first to deliver the Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir. But Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir! The Tang Family treasures it dearly, it’s nearly impossible for outsiders to get it. Yet Mr. Xv managed to get it and deliver it to Lin Tian first and foremost. You paid quite the high price just to connect with him, didn’t you?"

Lin Tian listened quietly, not getting involved. He’s no puppet to listen to whatever others say. What Wang Sijing said carried a substantial amount of information and required some time to digest.

But there’s no denying that she got one point right. There are too many coincidences between Xu Jiazhi and himself, so many that it feels deliberate!

Wang Sijing’s voice kept going, "The Xv Family is a scholarly family with great political ambitions since ancient times, but your ambitions in the path of cultivation are not small either. Stabbing Lin Tian’s friend with the Thousand-Pound Rock Dagger, framing it on our Wang Family, weren’t you just hoping to watch from the sidelines? Hoping Lin Tian would launch an all-out attack on our Wang Family, so the Xv Family could secretly profit?"

Xu Jiazhi’s face grew darker and darker, like the overcast sky of a June day.

"Lin Tian, I have to say, you’re truly muddleheaded! How dare you take in such an ambitious disciple? He approached you to become your disciple, for what? Isn’t it to get your heritage? And then kill you with a single blade and blame it on someone else? If it weren’t for me, you might still remain in the dark today?"
