"Boom!"
Ling Yi smashed a hole in the Chongyang Hall of the Quanzhen Sect, and then, in a very undignified manner, he crashed into the brick floor of the hall.
The Seven Masters of Quanzhen happened to be all there at that moment, and they were discussing the matter of the Fire Cloud Evil God.
The hot-tempered Qiu Chuji was almost convinced that the Fire Cloud Evil God must have stolen his the Final Master Wang Chongyang's Nine Yin Manual; otherwise, where did he get the Nine Yin Manual from?
This guy was originally yelling about going to find Fire Cloud Evil God to demand an explanation, but now, Fire Cloud Evil God has descended from the sky.
"Damn, this time it's gone even further. Wait, it seems like we've stumbled upon something amazing, you guys are all here."
Ling Yi shuddered, shaking off the dust from his body.
He was ugly, dressed strangely, especially his signature slippers...
"So you are the Fire Cloud Evil God?" Before anyone else could speak, Qiu Chuji jumped out.
"Yeah, are we going to fight?"
"I never expected you to dare come to the Quanzhen Sect. Let me ask you, where did you obtain the Nine Yin Manual?"
"Want to fight?" Ling Yi asked again.
"I..."
Before Qiu Chuji could say anything more, Ling Yi appeared before him in an instant and asked in a cold voice, "Want to fight?"
Qiu Chuji was so intimidated by Ling Yi's imposing presence that he stammered and couldn't utter a word.
After Intimidation Qiu Chuji, Ling Yi should have stopped, as continuing would have gone too far.
He was merely annoyed with Qiu Chuji, but it didn't escalate to the point of escalating the situation, much less to the point of killing him.
But Ling Yi hesitated for a moment, realizing he had gone against his own will.
Ling Yi reached out his right hand, grabbed Qiu Chuji by the neck, and lifted him into the air. He then raised his left hand and slapped him twice across the face.
"I'm asking you, do you want to fight?"
Just as Ma Yu was about to speak to dissuade him, his wife Sun Bu'er, jumped out first.
"How dare you! The Quanzhen Sect will not tolerate your insolence!" This woman actually went straight for the kill, thrusting her sword towards Ling Yi's back.
"Boom!" Ling Yi's True Qi erupted, and without even turning his head, he shattered the sword in Sun Bu'er with his True Qi.
The fragments of the longsword shot out backward, making a series of muffled thuds, riddling Sun Bu'er with holes.
Fortunately, Ling Yi had no intention of killing. He deliberately used his True Qi to slightly alter the trajectory of the fragment, thus avoiding Sun Bu'er's vital points.
"Junior Sister!" Wang Chuyi and the others were shocked and were about to attack Ling Yi.
"Stop!" But at this moment, Ma Yu shouted, stopping everyone.
After shouting, Ma Yu went to Sun Bu'er and checked her over. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she had not been seriously injured.
He pressed several acupoints on Sun Bu'er to stop the bleeding before approaching Ling Yi, bowing and saying, "Please, Evil God, spare us..."
"Don't speak yet."
Ling Yi waved to stop Ma Yu, then casually tossed Qiu Chuji to the ground. Seeing Qiu Chuji about to say something more...
Ling Yi said coldly, "If you dare to shout like that again, I will wipe out the Quanzhen Sect and leave no one alive."
Qiu Chuji shut his mouth, and the anger and resentment in his Central Plains turned into fear.
Ling Yi continued staring at Qiu Chuji, "I have a few questions for you."
"First, was the Nine Yin Manual originally from your Quanzhen Sect? Think carefully before you answer."
Qiu Chuji avoided eye contact; everyone knew the origins of the Nine Yin Manual.
"Very good, it seems you also know the original source of the Nine Yin Manual."
"The second question is, are you aware that Yang Kang recognized a thief as his father?"
"I'm asking you a question, answer me!"
"Know!"
"My third question is, you know that Yang Kang is Yang Tiexin's son, yet you became friends with Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian over drinks. I don't understand why you didn't bring him to the Quanzhen Sect to be raised as your friend's son?"
"Or are you saying you've never thought highly of Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian?"
"The fourth question: Did you know that Yang Tiexin was killed by Wanyan Honglie's men?"
Qiu Chuji remained silent, as did Ma Yu and the others.
They now understood why the Fire Cloud Evil God was angry.
Not only did Qiu Chuji know about this, but Ma Yu and the others also knew, yet they did not interfere with Qiu Chuji's decision, or rather, they didn't take it seriously at all.
"So you knew that? Then, was it wrong for me to hit you for Yang Kang, and for Yang Tiexin?"
"I don't know what kind of Daoism your Quanzhen Sect practices. When Wang Chongyang was alive, he was a righteous hero who fought against foreign invaders. Now that Wang Chongyang is gone, you've become a guest of honor of Wanyan Honglie?"
"If Wang Chongyang were still alive, he'd probably be the first to kill you."
A wave of sorrow washed over everyone. Ling Yi's words were like knives piercing their hearts, leaving them with no room for rebuttal.
" The Quanzhen Sect has been in seclusion for ten years; those who do not reach the Innate are not allowed to leave the mountain."
" Evil God Senior!" Ma Yu was about to say something.
But seeing Ling Yi's gaze, he gave a bitter smile and sighed, "Never mind!"
"Bring Yang Kang and Bao Xiruo back to the Quanzhen Sect. If you raise Yang Kang to be a bad influence, then your Quanzhen Sect is no longer worth keeping."
"I'll give you half a month. After Half Moon, if I see any Quanzhen Sect disciples outside, I'll kill them all."
After saying that, Ling Yi turned around and jumped out, Shadow in the next moment.
Li Mochou ultimately missed the show. By the time she arrived, Ling Yi had already left, and she only caught a fleeting glimpse of Ling Yi figure in the air...
In fact, Ling Yi went a bit too far. According to his previous habits, even if he wanted to teach Qiu Chuji a lesson, he wouldn't have gone so far as to close the Quanzhen Sect Sect's mountain.
They might even present the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Manuals to the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, inviting them to the Mount Hua Sword Tournament ten years later.
The reason he went against his current public image and habits this time was simply to test the waters.
This is called going against the author's wishes.
It now appears that he still has absolute control over himself; the author can influence him, but not completely.
This gave rise to many thoughts and speculations in his mind.
What's most important for a novel? It's the readers, its popularity.
As long as it doesn't affect his popularity, Ling Yi can do some slightly outrageous things.
For example, during this lesson with Qiu Chuji, Ling Yi was never truly angry, or rather, Ling Yi didn't really care about Qiu Chuji's actions.
Ling Yi's actions could disrupt the author's original train of thought, leading to a disjointed plot and a decline in the novel's quality.
For example, in this case, according to the original plot, Ling Yi was supposed to cause trouble, but in the end, everyone was happy, and the Quanzhen Sect treated Ling Yi as an honored guest.
During this process, you might encounter a younger version of Zhao Zhijing or Yin Zhiping, and then be dealt with by Ling Yi, leaving you with psychological trauma just like Ouyang Ke.
Ling Yi didn't necessarily want to go against the author; he knew very well that doing so would likely result in mutual harm, benefiting neither side.
It's a simple hypothetical scenario: if this novel loses all its popularity, will the Protagonist still exist?
But when Ling Yi saw the system interface: Law of Plot (Outside the Boundary 0.01%)...
Ling Yi smiled.
Don't underestimate the significance of just 0.01% progress; it represents something extraordinary.
This proves that he can influence the author, and it also proves that this world is the world of the novel, and that he is the Protagonist of the novel. This time, it's truly solid proof.
From this, Ling Yi can deduce many things.
This world is real; there's no doubt about that.
The novel is not finished; the author decides the plot that the Protagonist will participate in and the course of the world, but this is not immutable.
If the novel is already finished, then the plot is fixed. Even if the Protagonist changes the plot, it will not affect the readers in any way, nor will it involve the Laws Beyond the Boundary. He may not even know of the existence of the Laws Beyond the Boundary.
Here's the key point: Ling Yi can influence the author and deliberately change the plot, as has already been proven.
But there's a huge problem here: how do you determine if you intentionally guided this event?
This is important.
The world of a novel exists because of its author, and the bridge to this existence is popularity and the emotions of the readers, which ultimately Manifestation the world of the novel.
Ling Yi had already mastered the power of Faith Manifestation. He could forcibly collect the Power of Faith of everyone in the world and use it to Manifestation the Power of Faith into the real.
The author's emotions are inevitably intertwined in this bridge between the world of the novel and the author.
If you can capture the author's emotions, it's equivalent to predicting the plot that the Protagonist will face.
Ling Yi knew this wouldn't be easy; he couldn't Borrow much power unless he could truly unify all the laws... The key was all the laws.
Ling Yi currently lacks a Key to grasp this emotion.
At this moment, Ling Yi couldn't help but think of that special Awakened in the post-apocalyptic world who was radiating purple energy. The Daoist Arts on his body might be the Key, or rather... the core!
Ling Yi still has two choices: upgrade his Passive Analysis Aura, or return to the apocalyptic world and wait it out until the Passive Law Analysis Aura fully analyzes that Daoist Arts before leaving.
However, Ling Yi also knew that the author would not allow this situation.
The author couldn't possibly keep a Protagonist in one world for too long.
So, I'll continue traveling through worlds, accumulating points, and upgrading my aura.
At the same time, we need to find ways to accelerate the progress of the Laws Beyond the Boundary.
Perhaps when the progress of the Laws Beyond the Boundary reaches 100%, it will bring him an even bigger surprise.
By a small river, Ling Yi was turning over a grilled fish on a barbecue grill.
The funny thing is, Ling Yi got lost again.
Even Zhiruo and the others can't help me this time. There's absolutely no way to determine my location just by looking at the river and the woods.
We can only determine his location after Ling Yi leaves the woods.
At this moment, Ling Yi's ears twitched, and he couldn't help but laugh. "We have a navigation system now!"
However, the face he has now doesn't look very good when he smiles.
What does a villain's sinister smile look like before they plot against someone? Just imagine it, and that's probably a perfect description of Ling Yi's smile.
It was this smile that made the two people who had just arrived and were about to show themselves stop in their tracks.
