Ling Yi's Cultivation Technique Clone are all Fusion from countless cultivation techniques, and each of these Cultivation Technique Clone Grandmaster far more powerful than an ordinary Grandmaster.
"In the end, we still have to resort to some crooked methods!" Ling Yi murmured.
Yue Buqun wasn't completely corrupted, wasn't truly evil enough.
With the active replacement of consciousness by the Cultivation Technique Clone, Yue Buqun and his companions became of little value.
Besides, they're ultimately outsiders, so I'm not entirely comfortable using them.
Ling Yi didn't believe that Yue Buqun didn't have their own agendas.
Two days later, Shaolin Hanming Jianghu's library was robbed, and on the same day, the Wudang Sect's library was emptied overnight.
On the third day, martial arts manuals were stolen from the treasure pavilion of the Hanming Ming Dynasty, and the Emei Sect's Heavenly Sword was also stolen...
It is said that the one who stole the Miejue Heavenly Sword was none other than her beloved disciple, Ding Minjun, Ding Minjun was found by Miejue at the foot of Mount Emei.
However, the Heavenly Sword had disappeared without a trace. Ding Minjun refused to admit that she had stolen the Heavenly Sword and was Miejue to death by Miejue.
What's interesting is that this group of people didn't touch any of the cultivation techniques they obtained from the Immortal Gate.
Not only did they not move, they also left a note next to the cultivation technique.
The gist is: since you're going to steal and rob, then you'll experience what it's like to be stolen from and robbed in return.
Everyone immediately understood that this was most likely retaliation from the Immortal Gate.
People in the Jianghu are all waiting to see what happens, and everyone wants to know what these Jianghu sects, especially the Hanming Ming Dynasty, will do next.
After waiting for half a month, there was still no sign of anything happening.
Until someone revealed that the envoys from the Immortal Gate were not at the Master Realm at all, but at the Grandmaster, and that all of them were Grandmaster, it caused an uproar in the Jianghu.
No wonder there was no movement; who the hell would dare to make a sound?
Ling Yi had already left the Hanming Jianghu...
In the Former Song Kingdom, in the Gusu City, Mantuo Manor!
A handsome young man dressed in a white robe was reclining on a deck chair in the pavilion.
He listened to the report from a little girl in Green Robe beside him, half-closing his eyes while waving his folding fan.
" Young Master, Qiao Feng has received your message by carrier pigeon and has set off south. He is expected to arrive in Gusu City in three days."
The girl in Green Robe was charming and lovely, and when she spoke, she used the soft, melodious Wu dialect unique to women from Jiangnan, which could melt anyone's heart.
The young man nodded with a hint of anticipation and said, " The Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, huh? I wonder how powerful it will be after reaching the perfect level, and whether it'll be troublesome to learn!"
" A Bi, haven't Rong'er and the others replied yet?" the young man asked again.
"We arrived at Peach Blossom Island two days ago. With Rong'er's shrewdness and A Zhu's intelligence, obtaining the Nine Yin Manual from the Old Urchin shouldn't be difficult!"
"Yes, it's best if nothing goes wrong!" the young man said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, A Bi, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but shudder, her face turning red and then white.
Seeing A Bi like this, the young man couldn't resist the urge and pulled her into his arms.
"Young Master, you promised A Bi that you wouldn't touch A Bi for three years."
The young man looked annoyed, cursing inwardly, "What a piece of garbage system! Why do I have to wait three years? I'm surrounded by so many beautiful women, and you're making me a eunuch?"
This young man is the true Protagonist of this world, named Lan Chen!
His Soul Transmigration into the body of a servant at the Mantuo Manor.
The "golden finger" is the heroine Conquest System!
This system doesn't sound very legitimate, but its functions are incredibly powerful and unbelievable.
Five newbie gift packs were given out at the start.
The first is ten martial arts carrier pigeons, which fly ten times faster than ordinary carrier pigeons and can accurately locate any target to easily transmit information.
The second method involves binding ten female characters to empty slots. Once bound, they will obey your every command, but the female character's consciousness will not be affected.
In other words, the female protagonist knows she is being controlled, but she is unable to resist.
Without a second thought, this guy immediately allied himself with Madam Wang and secretly took control of the Mantuo Manor.
Is Madam Wang considered the female lead? Since Lan Chen's system can bind her, let's just assume she is!
Later, it was also associated with Wang Yuyan, A Bi, A Zhu, Huang Rong, Mu Wanqing, and Zhong Ling'er.
However, during this time, Murong Fu visited Mantuo Manor once, Murong Fu's power made him realize the danger.
It directly binds Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun!
Fortunately, there was a third big gift package. Lan Chen was directly castrated by the system; otherwise, given this guy's character, the consequences for these bound female leads were unimaginable.
Lan Chen needs to complete the main quest to recover!
Is being castrated considered a gift pack? If it comes from a system gift pack, it definitely counts.
"Ding, host, you can only succeed in winning over the female lead if you raise her Affection to 80 or above within three years."
"Ding! As long as the host successfully wins the heart of any one of the female leads, the main quest will be completed!"
"Ding, reminder to host, you have one more female lead binding slot!"
The fourth gift pack is the Jianghu Boundary Token, which is indeed intended to ensure the success of the storyline!
The fifth gift pack is Cultivation Technique Perfect Advancement.
However, this is only a function to advance the cultivation technique; whether Lan Chen can actually cultivate it is not the system's concern.
Seeing Abi trembling in his A Bi, Lan Chen angrily pushed her away, causing the poor girl to stumble.
The young man, however, seemed unconcerned and continued, "Has anything interesting happened in the Jianghu lately?"
A Bi straightened her clothes and quickly said, "According to the message Senior Li sent back three days ago, a new Immortal Gate has recently appeared in the Jianghu."
" Immortal Gate? What the hell is that?"
"Senior Li has not replied to any further messages."
Lan Chen frowned. "You mean Li Qiushui hasn't replied to any messages for three days? What about Wu Xingyun?"
A Bi cautiously said, "Senior Wu hasn't replied to any messages for three days either."
Lan Chen opened his system interface and found nothing unusual, except that the Affection of the nine female protagonists he was bound to were still negative.
Lan Chen has now realized that this female lead role-binding scheme is a complete trap.
The system only handles the binding; it doesn't care about anything else.
Any normal person, knowing they're being controlled and unable to resist, would feel utterly horrified. As for Affection, forget about it.
Moreover, this binding period is only three years, after which it will be automatically unbound.
The other female leads are fine, but if Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun break free from their bond, wouldn't they tear him to pieces?
Therefore, Lan Chen dared not keep these two women by his side, and even dared not interfere with them.
Since they were bound together, all they've done is have Li Qiushui help drive away Murong Fu, and then they've been given a task to gather information about the Jianghu and then left to their own devices.
Moreover, for the next three years, Lan Chen will not only be castrated, but he will also be forbidden from touching any female characters, otherwise the binding time of all the female characters will be reduced.
On the one hand, he needs to increase the female lead's Affection as much as possible within these three years; on the other hand, he needs to become as strong as possible.
"Send a message to Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun to ask what they're doing. Also, call Wang Yuyan over; I need to start cultivating."
Meanwhile, in a dilapidated temple Xiangyang City, Ling Yi looked helplessly at the two women in front of him.
"You've been following me for three days, can you give me a reason first?" Ling Yi asked.
These two women are not only incredibly beautiful, but also incredibly powerful, both possessing the strength of a Master Fifth Stage.
Of course, this strength is somewhat insufficient for Ling Yi in his current state, and if Ling Yi wanted to run away, they wouldn't be able to stop him.
Ling Yi really didn't want to have any more interactions with the other characters in this world.
So they simply chose to run away.
But when he ran, the two women chased after him, leaving Ling Yi completely bewildered and utterly confused about what was going on.
Most importantly, these two women always manage to find him, as if they've implanted a GPS tracker on him.
It wasn't until just now that Ling Yi realized the reason they were able to find him was because of the Ling Yi pigeons he was currently roasting.
To be honest, Ling Yi had never seen such plump pigeons before.
Not only was it twice the size of an ordinary pigeon, but it also flew incredibly fast. If Ling Yi hadn't possessed Psychic Power, he really wouldn't have been able to catch it.
"My name is Li Qiushui, and we need your help!" Li Qiushui said, staring at Ling Yi.
" Li Qiushui? Could this be Wu Xingyun? Does she need my help? I don't know you guys, do I?"
Li Qiushui glanced at Wu Xingyun, sighed, and said, "We really don't know each other, but you can indeed help us. It's just that I don't know where to begin; this is truly too unbelievable."
Wu Xingyun didn't speak, but just stared angrily at the pigeons on the grill.
"Then let's start from the beginning." Ling Yi had become interested at this point.
"Are the pigeons ready?" Wu Xingyun asked at this moment.
Ling Yi tore the pigeon in half, handing one half to Wu Xingyun and the other half to Li Qiushui.
But Li Qiushui shook her head; she had no appetite right now.
"About two months ago, Wu Xingyun and I were like we were possessed, completely out of control, and rushed to Gusu City, to the Mantuo Manor!" Li Qiushui said with lingering fear, clearly indicating that the experience was quite terrible.
Out of control? Possessed by evil spirits?
Is this world a hodgepodge of martial arts themes? Has it also Fusion other random, unrelated worlds?
"It seems like my body is being controlled by some force. I can hear, see, and Perception things, just like I'm Possession by another soul!"
Possession? Ling Yi's expression was strange; even his own Clone skill hadn't Possession these two people!
Is there someone else using the same cheat?
That's not right. If Cultivation Technique Clone actively retains its consciousness to Clone Possession, the Possession target's consciousness will fall into a deep sleep and become completely Perception of the outside world!
"We met a man named Lan Chen. In his presence, we were like puppets; we had to do whatever he told us to do!"
Lan Chen? Could he be that Old Liu in this world?
Holy crap, I just arrived in the Former Song Jianghu, and I'm already getting involved with this Old Liu?
"I could tell he was wary of us, so he only let us beat up Murong Fu and then let us leave!"
"But he also gave us an order to help him gather information about the Jianghu!"
"We've been helping him gather information all this time, sending messages back to him every day via carrier pigeon."
"This carrier pigeon is amazing. Not only is it incredibly fast, but it can also understand human speech. We used it to find your location before."
Ling Yi glanced at the carrier pigeon in his hand, then took a bite. His eyes lit up immediately. "It tastes good."
Wu Xingyun nodded very seriously.
"So, what does this have to do with me?" Ling Yi asked.
"We didn't want to help that bastard gather information, but we couldn't control ourselves. It was a desperate feeling; we even thought about dying, but we couldn't do it."
Li Qiushui said in a trembling voice.
"You're not..." Ling Yi suddenly paused, "... could it be that you only returned to normal after meeting me?"
"Yes." This time it was Wu Xingyun who spoke, casually wiping her greasy hands on her clothes.
He continued, "You don't need to lift a finger. Just stay by our side, and once we've killed Lan Chen, you can leave on your own."
"I'm not going!" Ling Yi refused without even thinking.
