Are you kidding me? That Old Liu named Lan Chen is definitely the Protagonist of this world.
Moreover, his system can directly control people; what if he gets controlled himself?
Even if I don't get controlled, who knows if that Old Liu has other tricks up his sleeve?
Putting everything else aside, even something as powerful Jianghu Boundary Token something Ling Yi can't crack.
"If you don't go, we'll just have to keep following you," Wu Xingyun said calmly.
"Moreover, from the moment you appeared, you were probably targeted by Lan Chen. Your abilities perfectly countered him. Although I don't know how you did it, but..."
"You two are destined to be natural enemies. Your best option is to eliminate him before he gets too caught up in the situation."
Ling Yi frowned and asked, "What is his current strength?"
Li Qiushui sneered, "He's only at the Acquired Third Layer, barely Entry. He not only controls us, but also many women."
"And they are all beautiful women: Madam Wang, Madam Wang's daughter Wang Yuyan, Murong Fu's two maids, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling'er, Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi's daughter, and perhaps more in the future."
Every time Li Qiushui read out a name, Ling Yi's lips would twitch.
No, Lan Chen's cheat ability is so good... cough cough, so evil?
Although Ling Yi really wanted to be Dragon Slayer hero and save the Ling Yi, he didn't want to face the Protagonist directly. What if his system couldn't handle him?
But if I don't go myself, perhaps I can send Cultivation Technique Clone to test the waters.
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
Ling Yi's approach was simple: he directly had the Cultivation Technique Clone Possession either Li Qiushui or Wu Xingyun.
If the Cultivation Technique Clone can also prevent them from being controlled by Lan Chen, then Ling Yi naturally won't need to intervene.
Of course, Ling Yi didn't say that this was Cultivation Technique Clone Possession; he only said that it was also a way to control people.
"My secret technique can make people stronger, even synchronize with my cultivation level, but once someone is affected by it, their life and death are in my control." Ling Yi didn't hide anything here.
We explained the pros and cons to them; the choice was entirely up to them.
Of course, this openness can also be seen as a warning.
It's important to know that in the original story, these two women weren't good people either. They had countless lives on their hands, were extremely cruel, and treated human life as worthless.
Although Ling Yi was not afraid of them, he still had to be on guard.
"You're no different from any other Lan Chen!" Li Qiushui said, frowning.
"It's not the same, okay? This secret technique of mine is just to ensure I won't be stabbed in the back. These days, there are too many Old Liu; you have to be careful," Ling Yi said calmly.
"Furthermore, my secret technique won't influence your actions. Once you've dealt with Lan Chen, we'll all go our separate ways."
"I'll give it a try!" Wu Xingyun said.
"Are you sure?" Li Qiushui, somewhat incredulous.
"We've fought our whole lives, only to be manipulated like ants. I'm tired. At worst, it's just death."
Wu Xingyun pointed at Ling Yi and said, "At least Ling Yi is open and honest, so we can only trust him."
At this point, Wu Xingyun scoffed, "We've fought for our Eldest Senior Brother our whole lives, but the ridiculous thing is, Eldest Senior Brother didn't truly love us!"
Ling Yi looked around. Could he still find something to eat?
What do you mean by that?
"Our Eldest Senior Brother is in love with your sister, Li Canghai."
Li Qiushui angrily retorted, " Wu Xingyun, what nonsense are you spouting? My Eldest Senior Brother and my sister are more than twenty years apart in age."
Wu Xingyun shrugged and said, "I know this news is as surprising as it is to you, but it's true. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself at the Mount Wuliang."
"That statue isn't you, because there are three plum blossom marks behind the statue's right ear. I drew those on Canghai, as you know."
Li Qiushui was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, followed by spitting out a mouthful of blood, and her Aura rapidly weakened.
This wasn't a decline in cultivation, but rather a loss of vitality. Li Qiushui's skin showed signs of aging visibly, and her hair turned white in an instant.
"Senior sister, it's so painful!" Tears streamed down Li Qiushui's face as she murmured.
"Yes, it's very bitter!"
Ling Yi sighed. This Wuyazi is truly a sin!
If Wuyazi spoken frankly back then, he probably... well, he probably would have been beaten to death, right?
At that time, Li Canghai was only eleven or twelve years old. He really didn't dare to say that he liked Li Canghai, after all, this thing was too damn torture.
Seeing that Li Qiushui's Aura was weakening and her life force was fading, Ling Yi sighed and waved his hand to transfer the Zixia Cultivation Technique Clone Possession her body.
Having Fusion countless internal energy cultivation techniques, the Zixia Divine Art, now at the Mystic Grade, inherently possesses Healing properties.
The Mystic Grade Zixia True Qi contained immense vitality, and once this Clone Possession, Li Qiushui's Aura was stabilized.
"Is this the secret technique you were talking about?" Li Qiushui asked.
Ling Yi nodded. "It's not worth it for you to die now. If it were me, I'd at least beat Wuyazi up first."
"Is Eldest Senior Brother still alive?" Wu Xingyun asked.
"Live!"
He's alive, but in a bad state; he's neither human nor ghost, practically as good as dead.
However, Ling Yi didn't intend to say much about Wu Wuyazi's matter. Right now, it was more important to let them test Lan Chen.
" Li Qiushui, try staying away from me for a bit."
After a brief test, just as Ling Yi had guessed, Clone the Possession could block the control of the Old Liu Protagonist.
"I'll go kill him right now."
After Li Qiushui finished speaking, she flew away without waiting for Ling Yi and Wu Xingyun to say anything.
"Still so reckless. If we can actually kill Lan Chen this time, we'll owe you a huge favor."
I'm interested in martial arts manuals.
"Alright, you can look at any of the Spirit Vulture Palace's cultivation techniques later, or even have them given to you by the Spirit Vulture Palace."
Ling Yi shook his head. What would he need Spirit Vulture Palace for? He wasn't Xuzhu.
"I'll forget about the Spirit Vulture Palace; I just need to Copy the cultivation manual."
At this moment, Wu Xingyun suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you from the Immortal Gate?"
" The Immortal Gate is mine."
Wu Xingyun was shocked and found it hard to believe!
The Immortal Gate is powerful and mysterious, and in just half a month, it has become famous throughout the entire Former Song Jianghu.
Upon their arrival, they headed straight for Shaolin, the Former Song Jianghu. Dozens of Grandmaster appeared, overwhelming Shaolin and forcing them to obediently Copy all the martial arts techniques from the Sutra Repository.
Next came the Dali Duan Clan, White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions, and the Flower Transferring Palace in Hundred Flowers Valley...
However, the whereabouts of people from the Immortal Gate are elusive, and they never show their true faces. They act swiftly and decisively, and the sects visited by the Immortal Gate deliberately conceal the information.
It was more than ten days later when rumors of the Immortal Gate sects began to Legend in the martial Jianghu.
The reason Ling Yi didn't hide it was because although his cultivation level was at the Grand Master Realm, it was only the result of him deliberately suppressing it with the help of the system.
If this were allowed, Ling Yi's strength would be at least at the Extreme Mystic Realm, and he probably wouldn't even need the system's new feature progress bar to finish before he Shattering the Void void.
Of course, this is just speculation!
Anyway, suppressing one's cultivation level can't hurt; at worst, it allows one to play the fool and outsmart the enemy.
What if some old monster suddenly appears? Heh, that would be so interesting.
Unfortunately, when the Shaolin Immortal Gate stormed Shaolin Temple, the Sweeper Monk didn't appear, nor did Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan show themselves.
I guess he was scared!
After all, dozens of Grandmaster were involved in the appearance; the "appearance fee" was a bit too high.
They would never believe it if there wasn't someone at the Extreme Void Realm or Extreme Mystic Realm behind this.
In the Former Song Jianghu, the highest level of strength is only the Extreme Void Realm, Extreme Mystic Realm, and Extreme Immortal Realm. It's likely that only the Qin-Tang Jianghu or the Fengyun Jianghu possess such strength.
Unlike the Immortal Gate in the Former Song Jianghu, the Possession Clone who went to the Qin-Tang Jianghu and the Fengyun Jianghu were very low-key.
There's no way around it, there are just too many Grandmaster over there, quite a few at the Extreme Void Realm as well, and the Extreme Mystic Realm and Extreme Immortal Realm are probably not the end goal.
However, Ling Yi wasn't in a hurry. No matter what realm they were in, they would never reach his level in the end.
While chatting casually with Wu Xingyun, Ling Yi switched his perspective to Li Qiushui.
Lan Chen was dumbfounded when he saw Li Qiushui again!
Although Li Qiushui regained her youth due to the Zixia True Qi, her long hair turned completely white.
Seeing Li Qiushui's overwhelming aura and undisguised killing intent, Lan Chen knew things were in grave danger.
"System, help!"
"Bite!"
The system gave a notification, and then nothing happened.
"Holy crap, system, what do you mean? It's over with just one 'ding'?" Lan Chen screamed inwardly.
" Lan Chen, you deserve to die!" Li Qiushui walked towards Lan Chen step by step.
Li Qiushui wanted nothing more than to tear this bastard who dared to control her to pieces, but at the same time, Li Qiushui was also extremely wary, worried that Lan Chen might have other tricks up his sleeve.
After all, Lan Chen's methods of controlling people were too bizarre, so she had to be careful.
As for coveting Lan Chen's secret techniques, Li Qiushui didn't care at all.
Perhaps if it were someone else, like Murong Fu, the outcome would have been quite different.
Li Qiushui's body was ablaze with purple energy, which burned like Huoyan. With each step she took, the purple flames rose a little higher.
When Lan Chen realized the system wasn't responding, he panicked and ran away.
While fleeing, he didn't forget to send A Bi and Wang Yuyan, whom he had Summon, and Madam Wang to take his place.
A Bi's eyes were filled with tears, and she cursed Lan Chen in her heart, but she rushed towards Li Qiushui uncontrollably.
Wang Yuyan and Madam Wang were the same.
Ling Yi, far away Xiangyang City, couldn't help but curse, "Scumbag!" What is a scumbag? This is a real scumbag.
If it were based on Li Qiushui's surname, A Bi, Wang Yuyan, and the others would all die. Fortunately, Ling Yi knew what kind of person Li Qiushui was and had made a setting in advance that Zixia Clone should not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
A Bi and her two companions were too weak, especially Wang Yuyan, who was just an ordinary person.
With a wave of her hand, Li Qiushui froze the three of them in place.
Lan Chen, the Protagonist of this world, was also frozen in place.
" Li Qiushui, let's make a deal. I know where Wuyazi is. If you let me go, I'll tell you where Wuyazi is." In this life-or-death situation, Lan Chen's mind raced.
"Is this your last words? Then you can die now."
Li Qiushui waved her right hand, unleashing a Bai Hong Palm strike with her Zixia True Qi. A purple palm print appeared out of thin air and slammed towards Lan Chen.
To be honest, whether it was Li Qiushui, Ling Yi, or A Bi, Wang Yuyan, and Madam Wang who were frozen in place...
Everyone was incredibly tense at that moment.
Everyone was worried that Lan Chen might cause some trouble again.
But no, Lan Chen, filled with resentment and anger, was shattered into pieces by Zi Se's slap.
However, he did not die directly; instead, his soul was pulled into a white space by his system.
"I'm not dead? That's great, System, did you save me?"
A voice said in Taunt tone, "Save you? You're dreaming."
"What do you mean?"
Lan Chen asked!
"What do you mean? I'll just ask you one question: Is this how you bind the female lead? Huh, is this how you bind her?"
Lan Chen: "..."
"I'm assigning you this role to help you win over the female lead, not to control her behavior, you morally bankrupt bastard."
Seeing Lan Chen's bewildered expression, the voice in the white space laughed in exasperation.
"Don't know?"
Lan Chen nodded.
"Do you understand the concept of subtle influence?" Seeing that Lan Chen still had a blank expression, the system gave up explaining.
"Go to hell!" A streak of light flashed past, Lan Chen's soul disintegrated instantly.
