Unable to Stop

Several miles away, a fleeting, eerie blue light flashed in Ling Yi's eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. ♤🐍 😾♬

Whether it's the Tang Hao of today or the Tang Hao who became Titled Douluo in the original work, in Ling Yi's eyes, he is a reckless man who is quite easy to handle.

At most, he's a brute with immense strength.

To deal with such a person, unless Ling Yi himself is an ordinary person without any Soul Power, he only needs to consider how much time and effort to spend and what kind of results he wants to achieve.

Ling Yi still didn't know the reason or process behind Tang Hao's malice towards him, but considering that the two had only met for the first time today, he figured it could only be due to a few factors.

"I never thought I'd become someone else's child again," Ling Yi thought with a strange feeling.

Tang Hao's initial gaze was very familiar to him; in his previous life, whenever he returned home for holidays, his relatives and peers always looked at him that way.

The problem is that Tang Hao is the number one genius of the Clear Sky Sect, and even more so, a genius that few in the entire Douluo Continent can compare to.

Such people are destined to live in the praise and flattery of others from birth.

Ling Yi reviewed the information about Tang Hao in his memory, including the original description from his previous life and more detailed records he had collected through various channels over the years. He found that apart from what was said in the original work, that Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were taught a lesson by the Titled Douluo- level Sacred Pillar on the island when they delivered the letter to ' Sea God Island ', they seemed to have encountered no setbacks at all!

Well, excluding the ' Slaughter City ' training, for which there is absolutely no relevant information.

"Tsk!" Ling Yi clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking somewhat inexplicably, "Is Tang Hao going to walk the Wudi path in the Douluo Continent? This isn't right—"

"Also, if the previous information is correct, it has been about four years since Tang Hao returned from the ' Slaughter City ', right?"

After a year of self-cultivation at the Moon Pavilion, Tang San had almost completely refined his killing intent, so how could Tang Hao still be affected by the ' Deathgod Domain '?

The thought that "Tang Hao is too useless" flashed through Ling Yi's mind, and a hint of coldness appeared in his deep eyes.

After eliminating one possibility after another, Ling Yi was certain that Tang Hao harbored considerable malice towards him.

Based on the principle of striking first, a thought popped into Ling Yi's mind: 'Should I find an opportunity to kill Tang Hao?'

Then, Ling Yi wondered if Tang Hao really died, would he and the people around him be held responsible by the Clear Sky Sect?

After all, they had just had a conflict with Tang Hao and had severely humiliated him. Any major power would probably investigate all the people and forces that had been in contact with their heir after the death of their heir.

In his previous life, Ling Yi had read a novel where the heir of a super power descended to the mortal realm for training. Somehow, he died. He originally thought that what followed would be a series of investigations, finding clues, catching the murderer, searching for the mastermind, or perhaps using great magic to rewind time or manipulate cause and effect. But instead, the protagonist simply sent people to refine that mortal realm and dozens of surrounding worlds at the same time...

The Clear Sky Sect certainly couldn't do that, but who knows if Tang Zhen, who lost his son, would use all the power of the sect to drag all the relevant people and forces down with Tang Hao?

so...

"Should I strike first, team up with the Spirit Hall, and wipe out the Clear Sky Sect?" Ling Yi muttered to himself, considering the feasibility of doing so.

In any case, he has two bloodline descendants of the Wu Family under his command. If they "Taiyi Bell" lose the "unclaimed diary" that records some "guesses" and "deductions", there is a 98% chance that Wu Xian and Weiyi, his two cousins, will leave "Lingyun City" and join the "Spirit Hall".

What happened next was simply a matter of taking advantage of the situation and going with the flow.

If the Clear Sky Sect is truly pushed to the edge of a cliff, there will be plenty of hyenas eager to pounce and bite.

As for Tang Chen, who has been in seclusion for twenty years, even within the Clear Sky Sect, the most recent news about Tang Chen dates back ten years. Those who still remember him on the Douluo Continent are all high-ranking members of major forces who have retired behind the scenes.

While Tang Chen was terrifying to these people, Qian Daoliu was no pushover either.

If the Spirit Hall takes the lead, these people won't lack the courage to take a gamble!

Whether the Spirit Hall is willing to be the first to stick its neck out depends on what our His Holiness the Pope thinks.

"Given Qian Xunji's temperament, if given the chance..."

"Brother Yi... Brother Yi..."

Yang Shelly's voice rang in his ears, bringing Ling Yi back to his senses as his thoughts drifted further and further away. He turned to look at the girl.

"Brother Yi, Tang Hao has murderous intentions towards you, should we...?"

Seeing Ling Yi looking over, Yang Shelly spoke in a low voice, and finally clenched her palms into a knife shape and slashed hard in front of her.

"Hiss—!" *2

Before Ling Yi could react, Chen Xin and Liu Erlong, who were listening intently, both gasped and stared in shock at Yang Shelly's serious expression.

"No, girl/madam, are you serious?!"

Even Chen Xin, who neither cared about Tang Hao nor feared the Clear Sky Sect behind him, subconsciously looked at Yang Shelly with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

Ah Yin, who was walking on the other side of Ling Yi, had a normal expression and even nodded in agreement.

This is rare; the two women reached a consensus on the same issue.

Faced with the two women's defense, Ling Yi chuckled and raised his hand to gently ruffle the hair at the back of each of their heads, saying softly, "It's alright. He can't touch me today, and he certainly won't be able to touch me for the rest of his life!"

Although Ling Yi's voice was soft, his expression and tone were full of confidence and certainty.

This is not bragging, but aside from physical strength, Tang Hao, who is Ling Yi than Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi.

Xue Ye could occasionally pull some tricks, using his status as the ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire to create minor obstacles for the development of Lingyun City.

The same goes for Ning Fengzhi. Although Ning Fengzhi's performance in the original work was also somewhat questionable in terms of intelligence, as the heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he still possessed certain skills.

After all, they are Soul Master who follow the support route. Unlike the Clear Sky Sect, they can't just smash things with a big hammer to get the desired result. The strength of the Ning Family determines their style of doing things. They must use methods such as gathering the strength of the masses and borrowing strength.

Seeing Ling Yi display an unprecedented domineering aura, Yang Shelly and Ah Yin both nodded obediently, like well-behaved kittens.

Chen Xin: "..."

Liu Erlong: "..."

For some reason, even though they hadn't had dinner yet, both of them felt a bit bloated.

"Erlang"Erlang has no particular feeling. As the Second Martial Soul dominated by the consciousness that Ling Yi separated, it is no different from artificial intelligence unless Ling Yi takes over.

Because of Ling Yi's subjective intervention, "Erlang" was not as agile as "Luo Sanpao," who was also a separated Martial Soul.

Similarly, this is one of the reasons why Ling Yi always had Erlang wear the "Armor of Divine Sealing" and cover his face with a mask.

As they talked, the group arrived at the downstream section of the river, about ten miles away from Linjiang Village.

Stopping in his tracks, Ling Yi turned around and looked at the river surface, which was not flowing rapidly. He then extended his spiritual power to probe into the water.

Although the water flow was not rapid and was even quite clear with not much silt, visibility was still significantly affected by the river's width and the fact that it became deeper towards the middle.

"Found it!"

Ling Yi's eyes lit up. He noticed that he had put on the "Thunder Hand" on his right hand at some point. He manipulated the electric current to convert it into magnetic force, and used it to capture the target on the riverbed nearly a hundred meters away.

Under the combined influence of magnetism and buoyancy, in no time at all, two irregularly shaped, grayish-black stones, each the size of an adult wild boar, slowly "swam" to the riverbank.

Seeing this, Ah Yin flicked her right hand forward, and two Blue Silver vines glowing with golden light flew more than ten meters away, smoothly wrapping Entanglement the two stones. She circulated her Soul Power to amplify herself, and with a strong pull, immediately dragged the two stones towards them.

Before Yang Shelly and Liu Erlong could make a move, "Erlang" stepped forward, turned his hands into palms to catch the two flying stones, and casually deflected their force, gently placing the stones at his feet.

Ling Yi stepped forward, took out a small, gleaming gold chisel from his storage bracelet, and tapped the two stones. Two streaks of grayish-black light flashed one after the other. Seeing this, Ling Yi chuckled and nodded, "Not bad, high-grade meteorite iron. With a little refining, it will become ' Meteorite Crystal '!"

It is important to know that it takes about a thousand catties of ordinary meteorite iron to extract one catty of "Meteorite Crystal". The value of this thing is almost the first grade below the precious materials such as "Cold Heart Iron Essence" and "Deep Sea Sunken Silver Silver Mother", and it is even more precious than "Deep Sea Heavy Silver".

With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi put the two meteorites, worth tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coin, into his storage bracelet. He then looked downstream and said, "According to the villagers of Linjiang Village, a total of seven meteorites fell in this area. Apart from two that landed on the ground and have since been moved by someone, the other five fell into the Heavenly Yuan River."

"Although affected by the water flow and underwater currents, these meteorites shouldn't have gone too far in just three days..."

"Brother Yi, do you think we should send a few Sea Soul Master over to search the water?" Yang Shelly suggested.

Although Ling Yi's mental strength was indeed at the level of Titled Douluo, as Tang Hao had said.

However, even if a true Titled Douluo came, he wouldn't be able to search half of the Heavenly Yuan River by directly using his mental power to investigate the riverbed like he just did.

However, if they try to find and restore things at the same time, the time cost would be considerable, which would be a huge loss for Lingyun City, which is developing rapidly.

After all, it's just meteorite iron. Even if a considerable amount of "Meteorite Crystal" can be easily extracted from it, its value is not as important as the development of "Lingyun City" or Ling Yi's own cultivation.

In the eyes of Yang Shelly, and even Ah Yin, Liu Erlong and other women, it would be better to wait for other forces to find those meteorites. Their ' Lingyun City ' could simply spend money or exchange them for other things.

However, little did anyone know that Tang Hao's provocation would cause these meteorites to become the fuse that ignited the conflict between the two sides.

At this moment, with the overwhelming force of directly suppressing Tang Hao, Ling Yi and the others could not simply abandon these meteorites.

It should be noted that after the previous fight, which started strong but ended weakly, Tang Hao's side had to back down. This was at most a loss for Tang Hao Tang Hao. At worst, he could fight again in the future when he became stronger and get his revenge.

However, if Ling Yi were to discard the meteorite iron, which was being used as a "bet," it would be a blatant slap in the face to Tang Hao.

Slapping Tang Hao in the face, especially in this way, would escalate to the point of trampling on the reputation of the Clear Sky Sect.

In this way, Ling Yi and Lingyun City have essentially offended the Clear Sky Sect.

To give a simple example, in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", after Yang Xiao defeated Miejue's senior brother Guhongzi, even if he directly stole the "Heaven Sword", Guhongzi would at most work hard afterward, cultivate desperately, and hope to become strong enough to defeat Yang Xiao and take back the "Heaven Sword".

However, after snatching it, Yang Xiao casually played with it before throwing it away. This act of throwing it away can be seen as trampling on the entire Emei Sect's heritage and beliefs, and at the same time, it cut off Guhongzi's chance to regain the "Heaven Sword" and regain his dignity.

As a result, Guhongzi, who was already injured, was so depressed that he eventually died of anger.

Although these meteorites are to Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect what the Heaven Sword is to Guhongzi and the Emei Sect, they mean the same thing.

A strong person needs to have their own spirit, and a force also needs its own honor. This is the meaning of the saying "a scholar can be killed but not humiliated".

Coming from a morally corrupt new era in his previous life, Ling Yi used to disdain such ideas. In his view, his own Life was above all else, and temporary servility was not shameful.

Even Ling Yi at that time would not deny this kind of "stubbornness," because deep down, he still admired people who could do that.

Now that he has transmigrated and made some achievements in the Way of the Mind, Ling Yi has begun to realize that some things and some beliefs are worth upholding.

He couldn't do it before because of his own weakness. He was so weak that no matter how hard he struggled, he was still like an ant, not even having the chance to create a brief spark like a moth. He could only drift along in a drunken stupor, becoming a spiritually empty weakling.

But now, step by step, he has reached the pinnacle of the world in terms of strength, influence, reputation, status, and wealth, and he is now qualified to pursue inner peace.

Unlike Ling Yi, whose emotional journey was more tortuous, and Ah Yin, who Soul Beast Transformation, Yang Shelly, Chen Xin, and Liu Erlong, as native humans of the Douluo Continent, had no intention of giving up these meteorite irons after their previous conflict with Tang Hao and winning the 'bet', based on their inherent mindset.

In response to Yang Shelly's suggestion, Ling Yi waved his hand and said, "No need for that. I have a way. I don't need to rely entirely on my mental power to explore the bottom of the water..."

As he spoke, he tapped the "Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse" at his waist, took out several large cloth bags, and handed them to the group:

"Next, we'll scatter these into the Heavenly Yuan River. It should take at most half a day to meet the requirements, allowing me to thoroughly explore this section of the river."

"Come on, Ah Yin, let's do it together..."

Goodnight everyone~
