Chapter 90: Tracking Down the Floating Flower Society
Lu Tinglin mentioned the Floating Flower Society.
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing were both very surprised.
Jiang Lingyin frowned and asked, "You mean the Fuhua Society? Could it be that this 'boss' is related to the Fuhua Society?"
Lu Tinglin nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, according to my investigation, this 'boss' is most likely a member of the Fuhua Society."
Ye Wenjing was shocked: "The Floating Flower Society actually dared to send someone to sneak into the palace to assassinate the emperor. How audacious!"
Lu Tinglin continued, "Their actions are extremely secretive. If I hadn't gotten some information by chance, it would have been difficult to discover."
Jiang Lingyin clenched her fists: "So what role does this 'boss' play in this?"
Lu Tinglin pondered for a moment and said, "Humph, it's hard to say if you're just playing tricks on me."
Ye Wenjing gritted his teeth and said, "The Floating Flower Society... we must catch them all in one fell swoop!"
Jiang Lingyin said, "Then we have to speed up our actions. The owner of Juelu Inn said that they have kidnapped many young women. If we hurry up, we may be able to save some people."
Lu Tinglin responded: "Yes, let's go to that secret base first, maybe we can find some clues."
Everyone agreed and prepared to go to the secret base immediately to conduct further investigation.
Lu Tinglin was the only one present who had information about the Floating Flower Society, so Ye Wenjing asked him to lead the way.
Ye Wenjing looked at Lu Tinglin and said, "Brother Lu, please lead the way for us."
Lu Tinglin responded readily: "No problem, everyone follow me closely."
Jiang Lingyin followed closely behind him and asked, "Master Lu, I'm afraid there will be many dangers along the way?"
Lu Tinglin replied: "Miss Jiang is right, everyone should be careful."
Chu Tianxun said: "Humph, no matter what danger he may face, we are not afraid."
The white fox said softly, "It's better to be cautious."
Lu Tinglin led everyone forward on the winding path, reminding everyone as they walked: "Watch your step, this road is not easy to walk on."
Cun Huaijin and his sister walked carefully. Cun Huaixuan said, "Brother Lu, how far is it?"
Lu Tinglin replied: "It's almost there. We'll be there after we pass through this forest."
Everyone was in high spirits and moved closer to their destination.
On the way, Jiang Lingyin asked: "What kind of organization is this Fuhuahui?"
Lu Tinglin looked solemn and said slowly: "This Fuhua Society is indeed a major cancer in the martial arts world.
If the Sixiang Academy represents justice, then the Fuhua Society is the ultimate in evil.
It suddenly rose up seventeen years ago, and its actions are cruel and vicious, with no moral integrity at all."
He paused, then continued, "The methods used by the Floating Flower Society are extremely despicable. They will do anything to achieve their goals, including burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
They often threaten the lives of innocent people to get what they want.
Moreover, they are good at using money and sex to seduce people, and many people with weak wills are bewitched by them and are willing to work for them. "
Lu Tinglin took a deep breath and continued, “Those recruited bastards committed various crimes under the instigation of the Fuhua Society.
They bullied the weak, plundered property, and made everyone in the world feel insecure.
Ten years ago, the evil deeds of the Fuhua Society finally aroused public outrage, and all the major sects of the righteous path united to besiege it.
That battle was so shocking that it shook the heavens and the earth. Although the Fuhua Society fought back, they were ultimately no match for the power of the righteous. They suffered heavy losses and then disappeared from the martial arts world.
Jiang Lingyin and the others listened with indignation on their faces.
Ye Wenjing clenched his fists and said, "Such an evil sect should be completely eliminated!"
Lu Tinglin nodded and said, "It's a pity that now they seem to be making a comeback."
Everyone's hearts tightened.
Ye Wenjing was really puzzled: "Why would a martial arts sect sneak into the palace to assassinate His Majesty..."
Jiang Lingyin said: "What if someone bribed him?"
Lu Tinglin shook his head: "Even the most despicable assassin organizations in the martial arts world would not accept orders from the imperial court, let alone assassinating the emperor. The martial arts sects fight to the death, but they all tacitly agree not to participate in the affairs of the imperial court."
Ye Wenjing said: "It is precisely because of this that my father insisted on following His Majesty into the court and severed ties with the Sixiang Academy."
Jiang Lingyin nodded.
Then he asked, "Why is Fuhua so mysterious? Is it possible that no one has been able to sneak in for so many years?"
Lu Tinglin shook his head and said, "As far as I know, no one in the martial arts world has ever successfully infiltrated the headquarters of the Floating Flower Society.
The Fuhua Society acted extremely cautiously, and their stronghold was heavily guarded with traps and mechanisms.
Many chivalrous men have tried to sneak in, but none of them have returned. "
Jiang Lingyin frowned and said, "It seems that we must be extremely careful on this trip."
Ye Wenjing's eyes were firm: "But no matter how difficult it is, we can't retreat."
Chu Tianxun said proudly: "That's right, we must venture into this dangerous place!"
Jiang Lingyin and others followed Lu Tinglin to a cave.
Inside the cave, there was a flickering candlelight and a group of people in black robes seemed to be performing some strange ritual.
Jiang Lingyin's heart tightened, and she whispered, "Everyone be careful, observe the situation first."
Ye Wenjing clenched the sword in his hand and stared at the men in black robes.
Lu Tinglin said softly: "Judging from their appearance, this ceremony is not simple."
At this time, there seemed to be a leader among the men in black robes, muttering something, and the others followed suit with low and strange voices.
Chu Tianxun couldn't help but curse: "I don't know what the hell these guys are doing!"
The white fox whispered, "Don't be impulsive, or you might alert the enemy."
Just as everyone was observing carefully, suddenly a man in black robe seemed to notice something and turned his head abruptly.
The moment the black-robed man turned his head, Jiang Lingyin and the others quickly hid their bodies. But the black-robed man's gaze still lingered in the direction where they were hiding for a moment, as if wondering if it was his illusion.
Jiang Lingyin's heart was in her throat, and she dared not breathe. Fortunately, the man in black robe did not find anything unusual in the end, and turned around again to continue participating in the strange ceremony.
Ye Wenjing lowered his voice and said, "We can't stay here for long. We have to find out what they are doing."
Lu Tinglin nodded in agreement: "But don't act rashly, or you'll get into danger."
Everyone continued to observe and saw that the ceremony became more and more intense, the movements of the man in black robe became more and more exaggerated, and the whole cave was filled with a mysterious and strange atmosphere.
Jiang Lingyin frowned, secretly thinking about how to deal with the situation.
The ceremony performed by the man in black robes seemed to be a human sacrifice!
Jiang Lingyin's eyes widened and she said angrily, "These crazy guys actually did such a cruel thing!"
Ye Wenjing's expression also turned extremely ugly: "This is simply intolerable!"
Lu Tinglin gritted his teeth: "We must stop them!"
Chu Tianxun clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white: "We can't let them do this again!"
The white fox's eyes were filled with reluctance: "But if we act rashly now, I'm afraid it will endanger the lives of those who are being sacrificed."
Everyone was in a dilemma for a moment.
He was furious at the evil deeds of the man in black robe, but at the same time he was worried that acting impulsively would lead to more serious consequences.
At this moment, the ceremony seemed to have reached a critical moment.
The black-robed man's movements became more frantic, and the tied man cried out in despair.
It's a girl!
Jiang Lingyin couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "I can't wait any longer!"
