Chapter 83 He is going to clear away the obstacles.
"Is it because you're not returning? If not, how did you get caught and brought here?"
The old, weary voice carried a hint of anxiety, followed by the grating sound of chains scraping against the ground.
When the wind was only a few steps away from returning, the iron chain was tightened, and those few steps became an insurmountable chasm.
Despite the excruciating pain, Feng Bugui hurriedly crawled to the other person's side, and the two clasped hands tightly together.
"Master? What are you doing here? What happened?"
"Bu Gui, are you injured?" Without immediately answering Feng Bu Gui's question, Luo Wan Ju judged with just a touch that Feng Bu Gui must be seriously injured at this moment.
After feeling around his body with both hands to determine the severity of Feng Bugui's injuries, Luo Wanju fell silent, opening her mouth several times but not knowing what to say, and finally let out a soft sigh.
"It is I who have wronged you. If I had not trusted that treacherous villain too much, how could I have been taken advantage of and fallen into this predicament?"
"If I hadn't been in such dire straits, with your intelligence, you would never have ended up like this. It's my fault!"
"Master!" Grasping his master's hand tightly, Feng Bugui hurriedly asked, "Master, who exactly locked you up here? And who is that imposter outside?"
"Sigh!" Faced with Feng Bugui's question, Luo Wanju sighed heavily again and slowly explained everything that had happened recently.
Outside the door, Shen Che, hidden in the shadows, also pricked up his ears with curiosity.
According to Luo Wanju's description, about half a year ago, he was secretly given a muscle-weakening drug by the Second Elder, Wei Banchu, and was also ambushed and seriously injured, leading to his capture. He was subsequently imprisoned here.
He later learned that Wei Banchu had actually found someone who looked exactly like him to replace him.
To avoid being exposed, the other party also used the excuse of seclusion to avoid showing their face for a long time, and instead handed over most of the affairs of the Illusion Heart Sect to Wei Banchu to manage.
He would only show his face from time to time to let all the disciples of the Illusionary Heart Sect know that the sect leader was always safe and sound.
Furthermore, with the Second Elder, Wei Banchu, providing cover, the entire Huanxin Sect remained unaware for so long that the sect leader had been secretly replaced.
After listening quietly to Luo Wanju's story, Feng Bugui remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "So, it turns out that the Second Elder attempted to control the Illusion Heart Sect, which is why he did all these things."
"Master, the Illusion Heart Sect is currently selecting a successor to the sect leader. Gu Xi, a disciple of the Second Elder, is indeed a strong candidate, and has a great advantage."
"Does the Second Elder intend to use the selection of a successor to completely seize control of the Illusion Heart Sect?"
"What did you say? The Illusionary Heart Sect is choosing a successor for its sect leader? How could this be?"
"You're the one everyone wants, not the one who should return. No wonder he attacked you, no wonder he locked you up here—he wants the entire Illusionary Heart Sect!"
When Luo Wanju heard that the Illusionary Heart Sect was choosing a successor to its leader, she was extremely excited and became anxious, wishing she could leave immediately.
"Wei Banchu actually used my identity to try to change the successor of the sect leader. It seems that he wants his own disciple to take the position."
"In this way, if Wei Banchu's disciple becomes the successor to the sect leader, and if the nominal sect leader uses physical discomfort as an excuse, then Wei Banchu will have an excuse to directly take over the entire Huanxin Sect."
"By then, although he will not have the title of sect leader, he will have the power of one."
After her initial anxiety, Luo Wanju quickly regained her composure.
He was actually the leader of a sect. Although he seemed to have been imprisoned for a long time, which made him seem somewhat disoriented, he was still able to force himself to calm down immediately.
At this moment, both master and disciple are imprisoned here, and both of their internal energy is sealed.
Let alone restoring order, even this steel-locked iron gate in front of us is impossible to break open.
"Although we don't know if Wei Banchu is after power or something else, if we let the troublemaker take control of the Illusion Heart Sect, it will inevitably bring endless trouble to the New Sect."
"Now, although we, master and disciple, are both imprisoned here, we must find a way to get the message out."
"Master!" Just then, Feng Bugui suddenly asked, "Why did you send your junior sister away overnight with the sect's 'Falling Feathers Piercing Flowers' hidden weapon manual, wanting her to hand it to me personally?"
"What? I never asked west Chan to deliver any secret manuals to you, let alone the most treasured technique of my Illusionary Heart Sect! What's going on?"
"Bu Gui, tell your master, what exactly has happened during this period?"
"Okay, Master, please sit down first, and I will tell you slowly!" Seeing that his master's performance didn't seem fake, Feng Bugui slightly reduced his doubts.
Although it was only a brief encounter, he was now almost certain that the person in front of him was his own master.
The two struggled to sit down, supporting each other in the darkness, and then Feng Bugui began to quietly recount everything that had happened recently.
His voice was steady, as if even in such a dire situation, he showed no sign of dejection.
"You mean, now not only you, but your junior sister west Chan has also been falsely accused of being a traitor, your third junior brother has been killed, and your fourth junior brother's foundation has been damaged due to punishment."
"Wei Banchu is ruthless; he's clearing all obstacles for his apprentice."
"Letting west Chan leave with the secret manual is a two-birds-with-one-stone plan! He wants to use the pretext of hunting down the traitor to lure my personal disciples out of the gate, so that he can eliminate them one by one."
"This way, you can completely smear the blame on yourselves, causing your prestige to plummet and eliminating any chance of you vying for the succession."
"Furthermore, we must ensure that this manual cannot return to my Illusion Heart Sect for the foreseeable future."
"To prevent the manual from returning to the Illusionary Heart Sect?" Upon hearing this, Feng Bugui immediately asked, "Master, why is that? Why would he do this?"
"If it were before, I might not have understood, but now that you say you want to choose a successor to the sect leader, then I understand."
After taking a deep breath, Luo Wanju explained, "Bu Gui, you should know that the secret manuals of my Illusion Heart Sect are all written using unique methods, and each manual contains a peculiar meaning."
"The contents of the manual can be learned by any direct disciple, but not everyone can comprehend its meaning."
"It's as if you've already grasped the essence of the Illusionary Mind Technique and the hidden weapon technique 'Falling Rain and Flying Flowers.'"
"Yes!" Feng Bugui nodded; he knew this.
The internal martial arts of the Illusionary Heart Sect are divided into three types: Illusionary Heart Techniques, Hidden Weapons, and Mechanisms. In addition to the ordinary manuals, there are also three sect-protecting manuals.
His own master controlled the "Falling Rain and Flying Flowers" technique, the First Elder controlled the "Secret Records of Mechanisms" technique, and the Second Elder controlled the "Illusory Mind Technique" technique.
These secret manuals are taken out once a year for all direct disciples to study, which is also their only way to access other secret manuals.
He was extremely lucky to have grasped two of the points!
"Bu Gui, you should also know that in order to become the heir, there is actually a threshold, which is that you must comprehend at least two kinds of meaning."
"This is also one of the most important reasons why you were the one everyone hoped for before."
"Nowadays, when choosing a successor, in addition to considering character and martial arts skills, the sect will definitely present other secret manuals for others to study."
"Whoever can successfully comprehend both meanings first will win the competition."
