Wei Ridge, nestled in a lake valley.
Ni Yunrui has been standing by the lake for a day and a night.
At this moment, Ni Yunrui had white hair, blue eyes, and wore a blue and white long dress.
She exuded a low-temperature Aura Field, which even caused Aura Field of white icy mist to rise from the lake surface.
It looks Piu-piu and otherworldly, with a touch of otherworldly charm.
Ling Yi sighed helplessly. He couldn't quite understand what Ni Yunrui Ni Yunrui feeling right now, but he could understand her current state.
However, even the greatest pain will gradually fade with time; the most difficult part is the initial painful process.
"Brother Ling, aren't you going to do something?" Ao Potian asked.
Ling Yi gave him a strange look. Ever since Ling Yi brought Ni Yunrui back to Lake Valley, this Ziming been acting strangely.
Love at first sight? First stirrings of love? But this kid is only thirteen!
Is she that precocious?
"Try to distract Yunrui as much as possible."
"Shift your attention? How?" Ao Potian asked seriously.
"Aren't you a great cook? Yunrui can cook too. You can make something delicious and then discuss cooking with her."
Ao Potian's eyes lit up, and he said, "I understand," before getting up and running to the kitchen.
Ling Yi shook his head and chuckled. This kid is really taking it seriously!
Then he turned to look at the three men, Yinmao, who were somewhat uneasy in a corner in the distance.
"Come here and talk!" Ling Yi Human Dao.
The three of them Yinmao and his companions, didn't dare to delay and quickly came to Ling Yi, their faces full of respect.
Ling Yi lingered on Yinhu for a few more seconds. Where did that alluring charm go?
So it was all an act all along!
Ling Yi had never known how to deal with these three people.
These three were clearly no good people; they had countless lives on their hands and showed absolutely no respect for life.
Given the crimes committed by these three individuals, they deserve to die many times over.
But to be fair, these three were also harmed by Jin Wufeng, or more accurately, by that unlucky old man, the Gu Di. Their souls were controlled, and they were deprived of their freedom.
The three siblings had an even worse experience than Ni Yunrui.
At least Ni Yunrui was deceived by lies and lived a happy and carefree life.
But these three siblings already knew their fate from the moment their souls were controlled.
"I don't understand. You three are already free, so why did you come looking for me? To be honest, I don't have a good impression of any of you."
Ling Yi got straight to the point.
"Young Master Ling, chaos is about to erupt in the Lesser Nine Provinces, and we want to survive in this turbulent world," Yinhu said first.
"Great chaos erupted?" Ling Yi was somewhat curious; what did that mean?
Besides the Gu Di, who else is planning to cause trouble in Lesser Nine Provinces?
"It's the Moonlight Sect of Greater Nine Provinces!" Yinhu explained, "I've been traveling south to Jinyun Nation recently and have gathered some information."
"This story goes back six years. It was when Second Master led us through the secret passage to the Moonlight Sect for the second time, hoping to improve our strength through the Moonlight Sect's Spirit Pool."
"After all, a single cleansing in the Spirit Pool can save one more than a decade of arduous cultivation, increasing one's strength several times over."
"Unexpectedly, the Moonlight Sect had already discovered the anomaly of the Spirit Pool and laid an ambush. Although Second Master noticed the clues in advance, he was still discovered in the end and surrounded and killed by dozens of people from the Moonlight Sect."
"In the end, Second Master used the Soul Devourer Fog, which allowed us to escape."
"However, the secret of our origins from Lesser Nine Provinces was also discovered by the Moonlight Sect, who, after some searching, found the secret passage."
"Starting six years ago, they have been sending large numbers of outer disciples to Lesser Nine Provinces Lesser Nine Provinces an attempt to disrupt our sealing formation."
"According to information I received from someone named Black Shark, once the sealing formation of our Lesser Nine Provinces is broken, Lesser Nine Provinces will inevitably face a cataclysmic disaster."
Ling Yi remained silent, but already had a rough idea in his mind.
Nine times out of ten, the purpose of the Moonlight Sect is the same as that of the Gu Di: to obtain the Source Power Sealing beneath the Nine Gods Mountain.
According to what Ling Yi saw in the Gu Di's Bullet-Comment Data.
Lesser Nine Provinces was originally part of Greater Nine Provinces.
It is still the most powerful Immortal Province in the Greater Nine Provinces, without exception.
The Greater Nine Provinces are divided into nine Immortal Province, and each Immortal Province has an Immortal Court, making a total of nine Immortal Court.
Above the Nine Immortal Court, there is also an Ancient Immortal Court, and the Gu Di was originally the sovereign of the Ancient Immortal Court.
However, the Gu Di exploited the nine Immortal Court rather ruthlessly.
In order to quickly increase his strength, he actually used a secret technique to forcibly devour the source Source Power of the nine Immortal Court.
It was precisely for this reason that this Gu Di, the dignified lord of the Ancient Immortal Court, successfully turned himself into the villain of the Greater Nine Provinces.
The Lesser Nine Provinces, formerly known as the Ancient Fortune Immortal Province, is Lan Cangyun, the lord of the Ancient Fortune Immortal Court, secretly gathered the forces of the other Immortal Province, preparing to return to the Ancient Immortal Court and kill the Gu Di.
However, the Ancient Immortal Court still possessed a strong foundation, and the leaders of the Nine Immortal Court were not united, with three of them betraying the court in the face of battle.
In the end, the rebellion of the Nine Immortal Court was suppressed.
Both the Nine Immortal Court and the Ancient Immortal Court suffered significant losses, with the Gu Di even being stabbed by Lan Cangyun and severely injured.
It was this serious injury that gave one of the Old Liu under the Gu Di an opportunity.
The Gu Di was ultimately plotted against by this Old Liu, and nearly lost his soul and spirit.
However, before the Gu Di was plotted against, Lancangyun of the Ancient Fortune Immortal Province Lan Cangyun knew that the Gu Di was a vengeful person.
If the Gu Di retaliates, the Ancient Fortune Immortal Province will surely be plunged into chaos and suffering.
He then exhausted all the resources of the Ancient Fortune Immortal Court, sacrificing his own cultivation and lifespan to forcibly seal off the Ancient Fortune Immortal Province Ancient Fortune Immortal Province State, completely isolating it from the Greater Nine Provinces.
Not only that, but he also gathered nine-tenths of the Source Power of the Ancient Fortune Immortal Province into one place and sealed it under the Nine Gods Mountain.
This is the origin of the name "Lesser Nine Provinces".
Lan Cangyun appears to be a heroic figure, sacrificing himself to preserve the essence of the entire Immortal Province.
But is that really the case?
Ling Yi expressed his doubts.
Three questions. First, Lan Cangyun didn't die; instead, he chose to separate his soul from his body and is now Body Possession some unfortunate soul, probably secretly recovering his strength.
Secondly, since Lesser Nine Provinces has already been isolated, why seal Lesser Nine Provinces % of its Source Power? Is it to prevent powerful individuals from emerging within Lesser Nine Provinces from breaking the seal from within?
Thirdly, this 90% Source Power is significant; it's precisely at a certain point that even those with Source Cultivation talent Facheng Source Cultivation.
Just like Ling Yi, Ao Potian, and the three siblings Yinmao.
They can only become Shi Martial Practitioner, but Facheng Source Cultivation Practitioner.
This not only sealed away Lesser Nine Provinces Lesser Nine Provinces, but also severed its future.
Finally, and this is the point that Ling Yi finds most puzzling.
If it's meant to be sealed, why not seal it completely? Why leave a secret passage/secret realm as a backdoor?
Ling Yi guessed that this Lan Cangyun was probably not a good person either, and likely had many schemes of his own.
Of course, Ling Yi's information was limited, and the specifics would have to wait until Lan Cangyun came forward to explain.
What Ling Yi didn't know was that from the moment he transmigrated, Lan Cangyun had no chance to cause trouble anymore.
"This Black Shark is the former leader of the Black Shark Gang, Later the Azure Dragon Gang. His real name Lan Hai, and he is from the Lan Clan of Nine Gods Mountain."
"Is there another Lan Clan in Nine Gods Mountain?" Ling Yi, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, the Lan Clan never travels the Jianghu. They have lived on Nine Gods Mountain for generations. According to what Second Master said before, the purpose of the Lan Clan's existence is to Guard the secret passage."
"Anyone who approaches the secret passage will be expelled."
"When we first entered the secret passage, Second Master used many methods to lure away most of the Lan Clan's experts before we succeeded."
"But afterwards, Second Master used soul-controlling techniques to take control of the Lan Clan, and the Lan Clan became Second Master's subordinate."
Yinhu smiled bitterly, "I just didn't expect that it wasn't Second Master who was using Soul Control all along; Second Master was nothing more than a puppet."
"Now that Second Master and that mysterious spirit are dead, the Lan Clan has naturally also broken free from soul control."
Ling Yi understood. Yinmao and the other two were seeking his protection because they were afraid of retaliation from the Lan Clan!
The Lan Clan, unaware that their souls were being controlled by the Gu Di, always believed that they were being controlled by Jin Wufeng, and naturally harbored deep hatred for Jin Wufeng.
Since Yinmao and his two companions were Jin Wufeng's subordinates, they would naturally be on the Lan Clan's revenge list.
" Lan Clan very strong?" Ling Yi asked.
"Extremely strong. To put it simply, even if all the experts from the Great Jin Nation and the Jinyun Nation joined forces, they would still be no match for the Lan Clan."
" The Lan Clan alone has six experts at the Mystery Penetration level, and it's said they have even more than Mystery Penetration level experts. In contrast, in the current Lesser Nine Provinces, apart from the Lan Clan, the strongest person is only at the Upper Innate. It's a world of difference."
The distance between the Upper Innate Mystery Penetration and the Profound Realm is two major realms: Master and Grandmaster, not to mention anything beyond the Mystery Penetration.
Those above the level of Mystery Penetration are considered Source Cultivation Practitioner.
In other words, does the Lan Clan Source Cultivation Practitioner Realm?
However, it is impossible for Source Cultivation Practitioner to appear in the Lesser Nine Provinces, so it goes without saying how the Lan Clan acquired their Source Cultivation Practitioner.
Ling Yi looked at the Human Dao, "I don't trust you!"
"Besides, I don't need Follower!"
The three men, including Yinhu, smiled wryly; they had already guessed this outcome.
But just as Ling Yi had guessed, they sought Ling Yi's protection precisely because they feared the Lan Clan's retaliation.
Just then, Ling Yi changed the subject. "It's not impossible for you to stay, but..."
With a wave of Ling Yi hand, Ling Yi conjured a cloud of black mist that floated in mid-air in his palm.
Upon seeing this, Yinhu and the other two instantly understood Ling Yi's meaning.
But the three of them instinctively resisted it.
Ling Yi wasn't in a hurry; he simply waited quietly for their answer.
This Soul Devourer Fog was forcibly collected into Ling Yi's backpack after the Gu Di's death, just before it was about to collapse.
Ling Yi had assumed that this thing possessed a certain level of intelligence and was alive, but it turned out not to be.
This is merely a rather insidious and domineering magical artifact.
They possess intelligence because it was automatically generated after the Gu Di Refinement the souls of countless powerful beings.
However, this thing isn't very intelligent; it doesn't quite reach the level of being a life form.
It's somewhat like an intelligent program.
After Ling Yi took the Soul Devourer Fog out of his backpack, it inexplicably and automatically recognized him as its master, without even Refinement process.
It's unclear whether this is a hidden feature of the backpack or part of the original design of the Soul Devourer Fog.
Regardless, Ling Yi found this thing very useful.
This Soul Devourer Fog can not only control, capture, Soul Suppression, and destroy souls.
It can also capture images from the outside world and transmit them to Ling Yi's mind.
In other words, Ling Yi can now truly see things through this Soul Devourer Fog.
Ling Yi only needed to attach a wisp of Soul Devourer Fog to the eye mask, which was roughly equivalent to restoring his sight.
Whether Ling Yi Yishi uses the momentum to observe things or relies on bullet comments to generate three-dimensional images in his mind out of thin air.
But none of them contain Yan Ce.
Some patterns are simply composed of lines and surfaces of blue cesium.
But the Soul Devourer Fog is different; this thing allows you to see directly into the outside world.
This was the first time Ling Yi had truly seen this world since he transmigrated here.
