Because he knows, His Holiness the Pontiff cannot provide an answer either.

Since this incident, the Bloodsucking Sect has been on full alert to prevent similar things from happening again.

Although many strong members have fallen, they are not overly saddened; for these strong individuals can be gradually nurtured from the younger generation, it just requires some time.

On the other hand, feeling that His Holiness the Pope of the Bloodsucking Sect no longer pursued them, the Medicine Saint finally set Lin Yifan down.

The first thing he asked after setting him down was about the Orange Immortal Ring.

"Disciple, you didn't hand over the ring to them, did you?"

Lin Yifan thought for a moment, then replied, "No!"

Right now, his life was in the hands of the Medicine Saint, and if he said he gave it away, the Medicine Saint might slap him to death; so absolutely, he couldn't say he did.

The Medicine Saint breathed a sigh of relief; he had rushed over in a hurry yesterday for fear of this event happening; fortunately, Lin Yifan was not foolish enough to believe the nonsense from the Bloodsucking Sect, otherwise, he would have to clean house today.

"Then hand the ring to me, and I'll keep it safe for you!" the Medicine Saint demanded.

"Master, to be honest, I didn't find the Peerless Ring you all wanted!" Lin Yifan answered sincerely.

This outcome was something Xiaofang already knew, and he believed Xiaofang had told the Medicine Saint about it; hence the Medicine Saint should know about this, but perhaps due to rumors, he doesn't believe it.

Indeed, the Medicine Saint questioned, "Didn't find it? Everyone says you found it, how could you not?"

"They were all just guessing. Yes, I did enter the Imperial Palace, but I did not find the Peerless Ring," Lin Yifan answered.

"Then why do you possess a Bronze Key, and why does the pressure in the Imperial Palace have no effect on you?" the Medicine Saint inquired.

This was something that neither he nor many others could understand.

"Because when I entered Beixuan Palace, I found a Jade Pendant and a Bronze Key in a corner of an Alchemy Room. I saw a dragon carved on the pendant and guessed it might belong to a prince; as for the Bronze Key, I only realized it was one of the two keys to open the Imperial Palace after entering the fifth layer of the palace.

Due to the aura of the Jade Pendant and Bronze Key being recognized by the palace, the holder could avoid the oppression of the strong pressure, so I could move freely in and out of the palace; regarding this, Mu Xueqing from the Wudang Sect can testify," Lin Yifan explained.

After all, many things are known only to him, so he is not afraid of being caught in a lie.

Lin Yifan spoke confidently, and he also got news from friends in the Wudang Sect, that those holding the Bronze Key could indeed avoid the oppression of the pressure in the Imperial Palace.

The Medicine Saint, unable to find any flaws, continued to question, "Did you ever disappear for no reason in Beixuan Immortal's Imperial Palace?"

This point is very crucial because what happened after the disappearance was known only to Lin Yifan, so his earlier answers could only be half-believed.

"Yes!"

Lin Yifan answered very clearly. This matter had probably already spread, so he had no need to hide anything.

"After disappearing, where did you go?" the Medicine Saint curiously asked.

"I went to a palace and then met a soldier in armor; he blocked my way, forcing me to fight him; I couldn't defeat him and was knocked out by him. When I woke up, I somehow found myself outside the suburbs; as I regained my state and was about to return to Beixuan Palace, suddenly a rift opened in the sky. I saw someone flying towards it, guessed it might be an exit, and flew out," Lin Yifan answered evasively.

"Then why didn't you go straight home, but hid instead?" the Medicine Saint pressed.

"Because when I came out, I didn't go straight home, but waited nearby for my friends to come out; as people kept coming out, I heard some guesses about me, some nonsense about me; I knew that all major Cultivation Sects wanted the Peerless Ring, I was afraid of being caught and tortured for something I didn't have; so I never dared to go home," Lin Yifan replied.

"Your Great Elder has been living at your house for so long, and you dared not return home?" the Medicine Saint inquired.

"I haven't seen the Great Elder; I thought they were people coming to capture me, so I didn't dare to return," Lin Yifan answered.

Despite his good disciple's reasonable explanation, the Medicine Saint simply did not believe him, and he did not know why. In any case, Lin Yifan was more cunning and eloquent than he had imagined.

"You really didn't find the Peerless Ring?" he asked again.

"No!" Lin Yifan answered firmly.

This time, to test if Lin Yifan was lying, the Medicine Saint took out the ultimate weapon.

He secretly took out an Immortal Ring, feeling the vibration, he immediately put it away.

This small action happened in milliseconds, and if not paying close attention, one might miss this slight vibration.

Just now, Lin Yifan only felt something moving in his right ear; although the vibration was brief, he clearly felt it.

Inside his ear was his Blue Immortal Ring, a skill of hiding the ring in his ear hole he learned from the Kunlun Sect Thirteenth Elder.

The Kunlun Sect Thirteenth Elder had been held in the sturdiest prison of the Shadow Organization, surely searched by their ninjas; yet during his dealings, the Kunlun Sect Thirteenth Elder could produce a palm-sized Green Compass, suggesting the presence of a Space Ring hidden on him.

And more covert places to hide a ring on the body include the nose, ears, stomach, etc.

Breath is often required through the nose, making sneezed-out rings inadvisable; the stomach digests, potentially moving the ring to the intestines, causing embarrassment; thus, the best place to conceal a ring ought to be the ear.

The ear may be small, but the Immortal Ring is a sacred object, like the Seas Calming Divine Needle, capable of becoming small or large; thus an ear can hold the Immortal Ring.

Lin Yifan had experimented under the Beixuan Palace underground Imperial Palace, discovering that two Immortal Rings in appropriate proximity resonate, that is, vibrate together.

Just now, the ear vibration, though Lin Yifan couldn't be 100% certain it was the ring's vibration akin to the ring vibration, his intuition told him it was caused by the ring's vibration.

Therefore, he suspected the old man in front of him also possessed an Immortal Ring, though he didn't know which color it was.

This news was very shocking, extremely shocking.

Because if his guess proved accurate, the Medicine Saint might have realized he was lying, thus forcing him to produce the Immortal Ring, or directly seizing it.

He possessed two Immortal Rings, and if taken by the old Medicine Saint, it would be a great loss; so now he was very scared, very worried, his whole being tense.
