Chapter 287: Underestimated

When the State Minister heard that, he paused in his steps.

“Is this person still in Lin Jiang Mansion?”

Lu Sheng shook her head. “I don’t know. When my master taught him a lesson, he also brought away the Nightmare Beast.”

When Ye Luo heard that, he pondered and said, “Could it be Master Liaoran from back then?”

“Master Liaoran?”

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows.

“Master Liaoran was also an eminent monk from Pure Snow Observatory back then. However, he later killed a disciple from Pure Snow Observatory because he secretly practiced evil techniques. After that, he was captured by Senior Brother and locked up. However, he still escaped later.”

“I was wondering why he knew the Soul Extraction Art in the past. So it was because he had a Nightmare Beast.”

The State Minister’s voice was as calm as before, without any fluctuation.

Liaoran’s personality had changed drastically after he returned from his travels back then.

Moreover, a disciple died in the observatory not long after.

The State Minister was puzzled. Later on, he secretly investigated and realized that it was done by Liaoran.

At that time, after capturing him, he asked him what evil techniques he had cultivated. However, he stubbornly refused to speak.

Later on, he returned to the Sutra Pavilion to investigate further. Only then did he know that Liaoran had secretly cultivated the forbidden technique of Pure Snow Observatory, the Soul Extraction Art.

However, the Soul Extraction Art could only be used when one was asleep.

However, two or three of the disciples died during the day. Moreover, they died mysteriously when sweeping the floor.

Pure Snow Observatory was a paradise for cultivation. With him around, ordinary demons could not enter.

Hence, there was no such thing as being killed by evil spirits.

However, the cause of death of these disciples could not be found. Even the autopsy of Dali Temple could not find out why.

The State Minister thought about it and decided to handle this case himself.

He did not expect the culprit to be his most trusted Liaoran.

After knowing that he had cultivated the Soul Extraction Art, he wanted to ask for the reason. However, when he arrived, there was no one in the room.

All these years, he could not understand how Liaoran had extracted their souls before they fell asleep.

After hearing Lu Sheng’s words, he finally understood.

So it was because of the Nightmare Beast.

Nightmare Beast. As long as a person was sleepy, it could cause them to fall into a deep sleep.

“State Minister!”

The moment the four of them entered, the monks in the courtyard stepped forward and bowed.

The State Minister waved his hand, signaling them to continue with their work.

The place where the State Minister lived was relatively remote. It was different from the ice and snow outside. The weather here was actually pleasant and warm like spring.

When they entered, they saw a huge patch of lotus in full bloom. When they saw them enter, the lotus even shook as if they were greeting them.

Ever since she entered, Lu Sheng had been in a state of shock.

Who would have thought that there would be such a strange treasure land in the snowing capital?

“This place should be influenced by the State Minister.”

Chu Sihan saw her shock and explained softly.

She looked up slightly and asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

“The State Minister’s original body was formed from a lotus. Lotus loves warmth. Although the State Minister has transformed into a human, he still likes the gentle weather, just like these lotuses do.”

Chu Sihan explained softly as he walked.

Lu Sheng’s lips twitched. “No wonder my master calls him Brother Bailian!”

Chu Sihan smiled faintly. “In terms of age, Uncle-Master Lu is a few rounds older than the State Minister.”

Lu Sheng frowned.

Speaking of which, she did not even know her master’s age.

She initially thought that her master was only a hundred years old. Now, it seemed like she had underestimated her master’s age.
