When Patriarch Lin felt stabbing pain from his Dantian, he immediately threw away Instructor Mei Lan, who was in his arms.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. Patriarch Lin could feel that his cultivation was slipping continuously out from his body like the water draining out of the pool.

Meanwhile, Instructor Mei Lan had already anticipated it, so when Patriarch Lin threw her away, she immediately somersaulted on mid-air before her feet gracefully landed on the ground.

"YOU!!! Cough… Cough…" Patriarch Lin shouted while pointed his index finger at Instructor Mei Lan angrily. However, he coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood before he could finish saying his words.

"Patriarch Lin, I already ruined your core, so you are only a crippled person right now. I suggest you give up your futile resistance. Be a good boy and surrender yourself to me. Maybe I will give you some rewards later." Instructor Mei Lan said with a teasing tone with an enticing gentle smile on her face.

"B*tch! Even if I die today, I must bring you down with me!" Patriarch Lin screamed in anger.

Fresh blood kept dripping out from his mouth, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Patriarch Lin was no longer looked like a dignified man, but he looked like an insane person right now.

As if he was losing all of his common senses, Patriarch Lin pounced toward Instructor Mei Lan in anger and hatred.

However, it was impossible for the current Patriarch Lin to fight against Instructor Mei Lan.

Even if Patriarch Lin still has his cultivation and fought against Instructor Mei Lan with all of his strength, he would probably only have less than a 50% chance of winning. Let alone now when his cultivation and strength continuously flowed out from his body like a punctured balloon.

Instructor Mei Lan agilely stepped aside to dodge Patriarch Lin and swiftly kicked his abdomen, which made the poisonous dagger lodged in his Dantian pierced much deeper!

Patriarch Lin spurted a few mouthfuls of blood from his mouth as he limply kneeled on the ground and groaned in pain.

Instructor Mei Langiggled happily and said: "Patriarch Lin, I actually really want to play around and flirt with you for a bit longer, but unfortunately, my time is very limited right now. So, you can tell me everything you know by yourself or maybe you will like it more if I help you to do it? Which one do you like more?"

Her speaking tone was so seductive, and her honey-coated voice was so sweet as if she was coaxing Patriarch Lin to talk.

"Hehehehe… You want to know the whereabouts of the Ancient Martial Art Manual?! DREAM ON! I will never tell you even if you kill or torture me!" Patriarch Lin grinned maniacally and replied to Instructor Mei Lan.

Instructor Mei Lansighed in disappointment and said: "Aihhh~!!! I want to do this in a more peaceful method and give you a swift painless death, but it seems you do not appreciate it at all. What a pity?! Oh well, you forced me to do this… It looks like I do not have another choice other than doing this in a hard way."

"Just kidding~!!! Actually, I like the hard way much more than the peaceful method. Patriarch Lin, it seems we are really well-matched with each other. I hope you will enjoy our play."Instructor Mei Lan said as she giggled at Patriarch Lin. She looked like a mischievous young girl who played a prank on an adult man right now.

Instructor Mei Lan gently took Patriarch Lin's limp pair of hands and then… forcefully twisted it until it made a loud cracking sound!

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH~!!!"Patriarch Lin screamed out loud in pain.

His cultivation was crippled, so he did not have enough strength to fight back against Instructor Mei Lan.

Moreover, the corrosive poison from the poisonous dagger that lodged deep inside his Dantian already started to assault his inner organs.

Even Bing Yi and HeiYinghao could not bear to watch the tragic fate of Patriarch Lin.

Fall into the hands of their sadistic Instructor Mei Lan in that powerless condition was the worst possible ending for Patriarch Lin.

It would be much better for him if he just died under the combined attack of those thirty giant lizards before rather than fall into Instructor Mei Lan's hand like now.

Instructor Mei Lan tortured Patriarch Lin for an hour or so until his mind on the verge of breaking.

Patriarch Lin even told Instructor Mei Lan false information, which somehow got discovered almost immediately by Instructor Mei Lan.

Of course, Instructor Mei Lan returned his deed in an instant by letting him enjoying more of her painful torture.

"Looks like It is the time..." Instructor Mei Lan murmured as she used her divine ability on Patriarch Lin.

[Heavenly Sound] divine ability... Second Song: Hypnosis Melody!

This skill was the reason why Instructor Mei Lan must keep cruelly torturing Patriarch Lin until his mind almost collapsed.

Because this [Second Song: Hypnosis Melody] would never work on people with strong willpower and powerful cultivation.

For this skill to work, Instructor Mei Lan must cripple Patriarch Lin's cultivation first before chipped his willpower bit by bit until it weakened considerably, just like now.

Patriarch Lin's stare, which filled with anger and hatred, turned blank when he heard the soothing song from Instructor Mei Lan.

After that, Instructor Mei Lan asked one question after another to Patriarch Lin which was still under hypnotic effect.

Patriarch Lin readily answered Instructor Mei Lan's every question in detail.

After Instructor Mei Lan's targets fell under the control of her [Second Song: Hypnosis Melody], there was no secret she could not know from her targets.

She could even know how many times that Patriarch Lin had cheated in his entire life with other women other than his wife or how many illegitimate children he had with the other women if she wanted to.

Of course, Instructor Mei Lan did not care about any of that and only asked the crucial information about their mission from Patriarch Lin.

Such as the location of the half Ancient Martial Art Manual...

Do you make any copy of that half Ancient Martial Art Manual?

How many copies do you make? Who do you give it to?

The whereabouts of the rest of the Lin Family...

Did they get protection from anyone like the people from the Oracle Mountain Sect?

Instructor Mei Lan even asked every detail of the smallest things to minimize the risk and maximize the chance of success.

She even asked about the place where the female lizard was imprisoned, even though Tang Li Xue already told her about it in detail.

It was not because she was afraid that Tang Li Xue lied to her, but because she was afraid that there was an invisible dangerous trap there, which Tang Li Xue had missed before.

After getting so much information from Patriarch Lin, Instructor Mei Lan decided not to kill Patriarch Lin yet and even helped him to remove the corrosive poison from her poisonous dagger.

Of course, it was not because she decided to spare Patriarch Lin's life, but because she felt that this Patriarch Lin still held so much important information in his mind, so Instructor Mei Lan decided to bring him out with her to extract more information from him later.

The current Patriarch Lin did not have any of his cultivation anyway. He was only a crippled person now, so he could not even threaten any of her students.

Instructor Mei Lan threw Patriarch Lin into her medium-rank space pouch and told her green-colored Wind Riding Bird to always keep an eye on him inside there.

Instructor Mei Lan also did not forget to take all of Patriarch Lin's spatial devices such as the spatial ring, spatial pendant, and so on before that.

"Let's see... He said he stored the key of the secret room in his spatial ring." Instructor Mei Lan murmured as she took Patriarch Lin's spatial ring.

Every beast certainly could not open any human's spatial ring because they need Qi to do so, while Beast Race only has Vitality Energy unless they managed to evolve into Spirit Beast and changed into their human form.

This was the common knowledge of all people from the Human Race.

But... how could the high intelligence Fox Race still did not have any way to crack it after thousands of years?!

Instructor Mei Lan leisurely took out a two-compartment glass box from her space pouch.

She put Patriarch Lin's spatial ring in one of the two-compartment, while she put an empty backup space pouch into the other compartment.

Instructor Mei Lan closed the two-compartment glass box for a few moments before opened it again.

Surprisingly, Patriarch Lin's spatial ring had already shattered to pieces, but all of its content was already moved to the space pouch inside the two-compartment glass box!

Instructor Mei Lan rummaged the content of the space pouch for a while before finally managed to find the key for the secret room.

The secret room was located inside Patriarch Lin's room and that was where Instructor Mei Lan was right now.

Instructor Mei Lan easily found the secret underground room and opened the hidden door with the key in her hand.

It did not take long for Instructor Mei Lan to find the half of the Ancient Martial Art Manual stored inside there and took it.

Instructor Mei Lan did not take any other thing stored inside there. She even quickly made a fake Ancient Martial Art Manual and stored it back into the secret underground room.

Instructor Mei Lan locked the secret underground room back and hid it back just like before.

She also did not forget to clean up all the blood, trace, and mark in Patriarch Lin's room.

No one would find anything strange in this room even if Patriarch Lin went missing for several more days from now.

At that time, this Lin Family's residence would probably already raze to the ground by those giant lizards.

After completed all of her tasks there, Instructor Mei Lan easily slipped out from Patriarch Lin's mansion without being found by the others and went back to Tang Li Xue's room to meet again with Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao.

Actually, this incident was not entirely Patriarch Lin's mistake. Even if the other female assassin employed the same method as Instructor Mei Lan, their chance of succeeding was almost none.

Patriarch Lin was an old veteran with several hundred years old life experience after all. He has very rich experience in facing all kinds of assassination.

But Instructor Mei Lan's [Art of Concealment] had already reached a much higher level than Tang Li Xue.

She could conceal all of her true feeling and intent perfectly, including her killing intent.

All the old experts in the Core Formation Stage like Mo Chonglin or Patriarch Lin have very sharp perception. They could immediately sense any hatred, anger, or killing intent from the others toward them.
