Returning to the small courtyard in Panshi Town, Ling Yi felt a strange sense of familiarity.
This was the first place he settled in after transmigrating to this world, so he still had some feelings for it.
" Ling Yi, what brings you here?" Yinmao immediately looked as if facing a formidable enemy.
Ling Yi made no attempt to conceal himself and swaggered into the courtyard.
Upon hearing Yinmao's voice, Jin Wufeng, who was originally in the room giving Ni Yunrui a "statement of guilt," was also greatly surprised and came out of the room.
Ling Yi was also taken aback when he saw Jin Wufeng.
Because Jin Wufeng's data has undergone a Tilling Changes.
Not only was the name changed, but all the past data was also altered.
Ling Yi even thought there was a problem with the data.
It wasn't until Ling Yi quickly reviewed this person's past data that he realized what had happened.
If we follow the character settings in the novel, this person is definitely the mastermind behind everything.
Taking a deep breath, Jin Wufeng forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ling Yi Fist Dao, "So it's Brother Ling Yi. Yinmao others caused you trouble before. Wufeng apologizes on their behalf."
Ling Yi nodded, saying nothing, but simply watching him with interest.
He was curious to see what excuse this person would come up with.
However, to be fair, Yinmao and his group did not reveal their purpose last time.
They were merely tracking Ling Yi and Ao Potian, and incidentally also dealt with Ao Potian and his group from the Ao Potian Azure Dragon Gang.
From this perspective alone, " Jin Wufeng " can indeed be defended.
Or rather, " Jin Wufeng " himself felt that he could still be cleansed.
What they didn't know was that Ling Yi had access to the Bullet-Comment Data in his backpack space; what he saw was what he knew, and there were no secrets in front of him.
"Brother Ling may not know, but Ao Potian, who is with you, is a descendant of an elder of his family who was lost to the outside world. Yinmao and the others simply want to bring him back so that he can be recognized as a member of the clan."
The Ling Yi remained silent.
Jin Wufeng looked at the full moon in the night sky, feeling a little anxious, as there was less than half an Shichen left until the appointed time.
If we don't get rid of Ling Yi, we'll be in big trouble.
But he didn't want to fight Ling Yi.
Jin Wufeng was extremely wary of Ling Yi. Even though he had many backup plans, it was best not to make a move at this crucial moment.
Seeing that Ling Yi still didn't react at all, " Jin Wufeng " became a little impatient.
"Brother Ling, I have important business to attend to tonight. How about we talk another day?"
Ling Yi shook his head, remaining silent.
Ling Yi wants to save Ni Yunrui, but he doesn't necessarily have to take her with him. It's enough for Ni Yunrui to reach the Perfection of her Yin Sunflower Art.
As for what Ni Yunrui will choose next, that's her own business.
After all, Ni Yunrui was the first person Ling Yi encountered after transmigrating to this world. His intervention this time was simply because he didn't want to see this simple -Sha Gu perish like this.
If Ni Yunrui is still fooled by " Jin Wufeng " and becomes a fool again, then there's nothing he can do.
It can only be said that this was her fate, and there was no need to save her anymore.
Saving someone once is a favor, and that's all.
With Ying Yi, Ling Yi arrived at Ni Yunrui's door, but instead of going in, he stood there with his arms crossed.
If Yinmao and Jin Wufeng still couldn't understand Ling Yi's purpose at this point, they would be fools.
Besides, they are all intelligent people.
" Ling Yi, do you really intend to oppose me?"
Ling Yi shook his head and said, "I'll only save you this once!"
"Do you think you're invincible, that I can't do anything to you? I said I'd kill you, and even if it costs me some of my essence, it's not impossible."
At this moment, " Jin Wufeng " has undergone a complete change in demeanor, and is quite different from his usual gentle and refined image.
At this moment, Yinmao also felt that his second master was so unfamiliar.
Seeing that Ling Yi remained silent, " Jin Wufeng " knew that further words were pointless and said to Yinmao, "Kill him!"
Yinmao's face immediately fell. How could she be a match for Ling Yi? Wasn't this just sending herself to her death?
"What, you're not even listening to me anymore?"
"Second Master, I can't beat him!" Yinmao shook his head, defying Jin Wufeng's orders for the first time.
In any case, fighting means certain death, and not fighting also means certain death.
"Very good!"
Jin Wufeng's face was extremely gloomy. He had only ordered Yinmao to make the move while he waited for an opportunity to launch a Sneak Attack, but he never expected that Yinmao would dare to disobey his orders at this time.
Jin Wufeng raised his hands, and terrifying power of heaven and earth surged forth instantly.
In an instant, countless black wisps appeared out of thin air and hovered above his head.
"So this is how power can be used? This is interesting. No wonder he was once the ruler of the Immortal Court," Ling Yi murmured.
Jin Wufeng was visibly stunned upon hearing Ling Yi's words, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"You actually know who I am?"
The previous ruler of the Greater Nine Provinces Immortal Court was the Gu Di Immortal Court.
He has a prestigious title, but in reality he's just an old, unlucky fellow.
He was crippled by his own subordinate, the current ruler of Heavenly Court, leaving only a wisp of his divine soul.
Concealment in the Spirit Pool of the Moonlight Sect, barely surviving for hundreds of years.
It just so happened that they encountered Jin Wufeng, who had accidentally entered the secret passage of the Nine Gods Mountain when he was young, and that's how they invaded Jin Wufeng's soul.
They then returned to Lesser Nine Provinces with Jin Wufeng.
Later, acting as his personal grandfather, he guided Jin Wufeng to begin collecting Supreme Yin Physique for him and passed on the Yin Sunflower Art and Yang Flame Art.
Without a doubt, Ni Yunrui possesses the Supreme Yin Physique.
Once the power of Yin and the power of Yang merge, one can rely on the power of Yin and Yang to regenerate source power and embark on the path of source cultivation anew.
Source Power, also known as Power of Origin, is the power of heaven and earth that moves with Drawing Momentum.
Of course, in Ling Yi's opinion, calling it Spiritual Power would be more accurate.
The Source Cultivation Practitioner is actually a cultivator of immortality, but they are not called that in this world.
Ling Yi recalled his actions in this world.
Let's assume this is a fictional world.
Assuming Ao Potian is the Protagonist, what would happen if I didn't appear?
Ao Potian will most likely still be forced to flee Fengyun City because he offended the Azure Dragon Gang.
After leaving Fengyun City, Ao Potian's only options are Wei Ridge or Panshi Town.
Ao Potian may gain something in Wei Ridge, but he will eventually go to Panshi Town and then enter the Great Jin Nation from Panshi Town.
Will we encounter Ni Yunrui in Panshi Town? After all, Ni Yunrui fits the female lead's character perfectly!
If I encounter Ni Yunrui, will I face off against Jin Wufeng?
Jin Wufeng is a minor villain in the early stages, while the Gu Di is a major villain in the later stages of Lesser Nine Provinces. After the Gu Di is introduced, Gu Di is just a remnant soul and will most likely become an experience point for Ao Potian.
For example, the memories of Gu Di, their cultivation techniques, and so on.
After this analysis, the overall picture seems to have become clear all at once.
So, it was his own appearance that disrupted the original plot?
"How is this possible? Why are you completely unharmed?"
The Gu Di's Roar pulled Ling Yi back from his thoughts.
Only then did he realize that the black mist hovering above the Gu Di's head was transforming Daodao strands of black cesium that were attacking Ling Yi.
The attacks simply disappeared automatically when they came within half a meter of Ling Yi.
Ling Yi ignored the Gu Di's Onslaught and instead checked the data comments, immediately finding the relevant information.
This black mist is called Soul Devourer Fog, a technique created by the Gu Di through Refinement the souls of countless powerful individuals.
It's less of a cultivation technique and more of a sinister and poisonous Origin Artifact.
Hmm, "Origin Artifact" sounds awkward, but you can think of it as a magical treasure.
This magical artifact is different from other magical artifacts; it directly Fusion with the divine soul. As long as the divine soul does not perish, this Soul Devourer Fog will always exist within it.
This Soul Devourer Fog only targets the soul.
The three members of the Yinmao were controlled by this Soul Devourer Fog.
With a single thought from the Gu Di, the souls of the three could be shattered.
However, the Source Power of this Soul Devourer Fog cannot be replenished in Lesser Nine Provinces; every bit used is a bit less.
This is also why the Gu Di were unwilling to use it.
The path back to the Source Cultivation was right before their eyes, but it was blocked by Ling Yi, leaving even the Gu Di with no choice but to use it.
But to everyone's surprise, the Soul Devourer Fog's attacks would disappear as soon as they got close to Ling Yi.
No, "disappeared" seems inaccurate; "invalidated" is more accurate.
"So that's what silence means!" Ling Yi realized belatedly.
It's not about silencing others' skills, but about silencing their attacks on you.
"So why should I get involved in cultivation with that brat Potian? I'm cheating!"
However, it's unclear whether this passive silence state has any limitations.
I'll have to look into that later.
One more thing, Ling Yi was actually distracted just now?
He got carried away, actually spacing out in front of the boss. What's the difference between that and courting death?
If it weren't for the "Silence" passive ability that appeared this month, wouldn't I be doomed?
Perhaps " Self-Healing " can heal the soul?
But that's just a possibility!
"You absolutely can't get cocky anymore, um, no, that's not quite right. With Silence around, it seems like I can get cocky all I want from now on!"
While Ling Yi was lost in thought, the Gu Di's attacks never ceased.
Yinmao watched the show from afar for a long time, secretly plotting his next move. Perhaps this was his only chance to get rid of Jin Wufeng.
If they could kill Jin Wufeng in an instant, giving him no chance to react, the three siblings would be completely free.
She still doesn't know that this Jin Wufeng is no longer the real person.
Time is passing quickly.
The Gu Di's face was extremely ugly, and his expression was somewhat distorted.
The Supreme Yin Physique is extremely rare, and this is his only chance to return to Source Cultivation. As long as he resumes Source Cultivation, he can devour 90% of the Source Power of the Lesser Nine Provinces that was sealed by Lan Cangyun.
This represents ninety percent of the Source Power of the Immortal Province, which will undoubtedly help him return to his Pinnacle, or even go further.
Then he can return to the Heavenly Court, kill all those bastards who betrayed him, and refine their souls into the Soul Devourer Fog.
But now, success is so close, yet so far away.
How could he not go crazy?
Soul Devourer Fog was ineffective, he had no choice but to withdraw it and switch to Source Power method.
The Gu Di used his divine soul to mobilize the extremely thin Source Power between heaven and earth, instantly condensing it into a white celestial longsword.
"Go get him..."
"Puff!"
Before he could utter the word "death," his voice abruptly stopped.
A sword pierced straight through his head, entering from the back and exiting from the front.
Immediately following the burst of white light, the Gu Di's head shattered and vanished into Void.
This unfortunate fellow didn't even have time to say his last words before he passed away, his soul completely dissipated.
"How did you kill him? I still have so many questions to ask him!" Ling Yi said excitedly to Yinmao after looking at the headless corpse of the Gu Di.
Just then, the door behind Ling Yi was opened.
Ni Yunrui demeanor had drastically changed, walked out of the room.
