Ling Yi looked around and quickly discovered a total of thirty surveillance cameras.
"I wonder if the Magic-Sealing Domain will be effective against this kind of crystal core camera."
Ling Yi knew that these cameras used Mutant Beast crystal cores as their energy source.
Since the Magic-Sealing Domain is effective against all energy-based targets, what about inanimate objects?
As it turns out, it is possible.
As Ling Yi locked onto the target, the energy within the crystal cores of these thirty cameras instantly subsided.
Without a power supply, the camera will naturally stop working.
Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction; this Magic-Sealing Domain was clearly even more powerful than he had imagined.
"The cameras are now out of service. Just tell me what to do."
After observing for a while, the Rapid Speed Mantis found that all the indicator lights on the cameras had gone out.
It knew this was its only chance.
Although I'll still be at the mercy of others, it's still better than following that trash Song Qiming.
"Boss, I have an improved version of the Mental Contract technique here, which can make your Mental Contract Mental Contract surpass my original one."
Ling Yi frowned. An improved version? Could this be a huge trap?
Seemingly guessing Ling Yi's thoughts, Rapid Speed Mantis quickly explained, "Don't worry, boss, I would never dare to do anything shady. However, the Mental Contract that Song Qiming has with me cannot be erased yet."
"Otherwise, if he discovers there's a problem with the Mental Contract, it could cause trouble!"
Ling Yi nodded. The fact that the Song Family had a Venerable One Realm expert was something that Ling Yi was quite wary of.
His Magic-Sealing Domain only lasts for one day. If that Venerable One Realm expert dares to come now, Ling Yi will directly use a forbidden technique on him. Not to mention Venerable One Realm, even Dao Practitioner Realm would be rendered useless.
After all, the Magic-Sealing Domain has no realm restrictions; no matter how high your realm is, it's all for nothing.
But what if the cheat codes that refresh tomorrow are bad?
The Rapid Speed Mantis is right; it's best not to attract the attention of the Venerable One Realm for now.
At that moment, the Rapid Speed Mantis gagged and spat out a bead.
This made Ling Yi feel nauseous.
Ling Yi recognized it as an information bead, which functioned roughly like a USB flash drive.
It is also a product of the crystal core technology of this world, and is specifically designed for use by Awakened.
USB flash drives require Computer or mobile phone to read, but information beads do not; they only require Spiritual Power to read the data.
It's pretty much a fantasy/martial arts story.
To be precise, this thing is more like a jade slip from a fantasy world.
"Ahem, boss, it looks a bit disgusting, but there's no other way. This is the only way I can hide this information bead."
Ling Yi naturally understood this principle, and forced himself to pick up the information bead while suppressing his nausea.
However, Ling Yi did not use it directly, but instead stored it in the System Space first.

Hmm? Looking at the description of the information bead in the System Space, Ling Yi was somewhat surprised.
It really is an improved version of the Mental Contract?
Did this Rapid Speed Mantis not tamper with its equipment?
"Did you modify this Mental Contract yourself?" Ling Yi asked.
"No, it's an improved version of the Seventh Tier Flame Bird that's with Song Qiming."
"So, you've been searching for a way to break free from the Mental Contract?"
"Yes, boss. If it were Contract with a strong person, that would be one thing, but we were forced into Contract with this trash Song Qiming."
"The key point is, given Song Qiming's level of idiocy, he might get screwed over by his older or younger brother at any time, and we don't want to die with him."
Ling Yi didn't know if Song Qiming was brain-dead or not, but looking at the disdainful look in the Rapid Speed Mantis's eyes, Ling Yi guessed that Song Qiming was probably in deep trouble.
The Contract Mutant Beast he had were secretly causing trouble. If they managed to break free of their Contract, it was easy to guess that Song Qiming's fate wouldn't be good.
However, regardless of whether the Mental Contract has been tampered with, Ling Yi will not use it.
Don't forget, Ling Yi has System Shop.
In the System Shop, there is an item called Pet Beast Pill. After consuming it, the pet will become completely at your disposal.
Moreover, this thing isn't expensive; it costs 1000 store points per piece.
Isn't this more reliable than some kind of Mental Contract?
With a thought, a red cinnabar pill appeared in Ling Yi's hand.
"Eat it!" Ling Yi tossed the pill to the Rapid Speed Mantis.
The Rapid Speed Mantis's scythe-like paws deftly gripped the pill, without sensing the slightest energy fluctuation on it.
It asked cautiously, "Boss, what is this...?"
"It works similarly to Mental Contract. Whether you take it or not is up to you." Ling Yi said this, but his fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.
Damn it, look at yourself! You think I made this decision myself? Do you think I could decide for myself? If I dared to refuse, I'd be dead the next second, right?
The Rapid Speed Mantis immediately put the pill into its mouth. There's a saying among humans, "Only those who know when to yield are truly wise." I, the Mantis, know when to yield.
However, after taking the Pet Beast Pill, the expression on this guy's triangular face changed several times.
The Rapid Speed Mantis knew it was doomed.
From this day forward, it will never be able to betray Ling Yi again; that power from the soul is many times more advanced than any Mental Contract.
However, it's not without its advantages.
The original Mental Contract still exists, but it can be erased at any time.
Finally, I don't have to put up with that trash Song Qiming anymore.
But this isn't the result it wanted!
Ling Yi thought for a moment, then took out ten more Pet Beast Pill and tossed them to it.
"Keep these ten Pet Beast Pill. Try to trick a few strong Mutant Beast into coming here, but these things are ineffective against Mutant Beast of the Eighth Tier or higher."
"Boss, how can you call this a trap? This is helping them escape a fire pit!"
"6!" Ling Yi gave it a thumbs up.
Tell me about the Song Family, and about Song Qiming!
"Boss, the cameras can't be off for too long, or it'll arouse suspicion."
"Then let's make it short."
"Okay, sure!"
" Song Wancheng reached the Venerable One Realm ten years ago, possessing dual talents in lightning and fire, both of which are S Grade talents. Song Wancheng has eight sons, and Song Qiming is one of them."
"However, none of these eight sons are his biological children; they are all adopted by Song Wancheng. Unfortunately, none of these eight sons are particularly talented."
"Although they've all reached the Nine Apertures Realm through abundant resources, breaking through to the Divine Ability Realm is virtually impossible..."
The Rapid Speed Mantis spoke quickly, but the information it provided wasn't anything too confidential.
Most of this information can be found online.
Clearly, the Song Family family was wary of these Mutant Beast bound by Mental Contract.
"By the way, boss, I once heard Song Qiming mention the Rule Seed. He said that a Rule Seed appeared in Baihai City three years ago."
"It is said that even Venerable One Realm expert from our Ancient Country made an appearance to compete for this Rule Seed, but in the end, it seems that a Rule Seed obtained it."
"Although the couple died, the whereabouts of the Rule Seed ultimately became unknown."
"Many people are still keeping an eye on Baihai City, especially the son of that couple. I suspect that Song Qiming came to Baihai City for this reason..."
"Hehe, whether that unlucky guy gets the Rule Seed or not, he's doomed."
"I heard Song Qiming mention it once; this unlucky guy's surname seems to be Ling."
Ling Yi's lips twitched slightly. How did he end up getting caught up in this gossip?
" Rule Seed? What's that?" Ling Yi asked, frowning.
"It's the Rule Seed. I heard there are nine, but I don't know the exact number."
"Hey, interesting!" Ling Yi knew he was about to get busy!
My behavior these past two days has probably affected a lot of people, hasn't it?
Given the power I've demonstrated, who would believe I don't possess the Rule Seed within me?
"Next, let's do a rehearsal. This time I lose, you win, like this, and like this again... Got it?"
"Boss, are you sure Song Qiming will call a halt? What if he doesn't?"
"Just be flexible and see how things go!"
"Ha?"
Before Ling Yi Rapid Speed even give you time to think about how to improvise, he continued, "When you get back to Song Qiming's side and cause trouble, if Song Qiming asks, just say... you understand?"
"Yes, boss!"
"Also, let me tell you something. My name is Ling Yi, the same Ling Yi you were talking about, the unlucky guy."
"Huh? Boss, could it be that you obtained the Rule Seed?" Rapid Speed Mantis exclaimed.
"No!" Ling Yi was certain of that.
The original owner's parents left her nothing but a house.
Not to mention the Rule Seed, not even a single crystal core was left.
The Rapid Speed Mantis looked on with disbelief. "Without Rule Seed, how can you be so powerful?"
At sixteen, he could defeat a dignified Sixth Tier Mutant Beast and even disable other people's talent abilities and Spiritual Power.
Who would believe that? It certainly doesn't.
However, the Rapid Speed Mantis didn't ask any further questions.
"I'm going to turn on the camera. Get ready, three, two, one!"
The man and the beast quickly assumed another standoff position.
Ling Yi pretended to sway a couple of times, as if he was about to collapse.
"Haha, foolish humans, die!" the Rapid Speed Mantis roared with arrogant laughter.
Its wings were flapping, as if it was about to unleash a powerful attack.
"I'm not reconciled!" Ling Yi shook himself a few more times, putting on a desperate expression.
The Rapid Speed Mantis thought to itself, "My boss's acting skills are pretty good!"
However, the Rapid Speed Mantis was only preparing its ultimate attack, but didn't unleash it.
Just then, he received Mental Voice Transmission from Song Qiming in his mind.
The Rapid Speed Mantis's eyes lit up, and it immediately used the pet Contract to Voice Transmission to Ling Yi: "Boss, Song Qiming wants me to retreat."
"Just as I expected, let's retreat. Contact me immediately if there's any news!"
"I understand, but how am I supposed to retreat? Just retreat like this? No need to say anything, at least come up with some excuse!"
"What reason do you need? That's Song Qiming's problem to worry about!"
"That's true!"
The Rapid Speed Mantis quickly withdrew its momentum, then turned and left...
