Yuelai Inn, Fuzhou City.
Lu Xiaofeng received a secret letter from a Brocade Guard officer. When he saw the dragon-shaped mark on the letter, his expression changed drastically.
"Thanks, brother, you must be tired from your journey!"
As she spoke, she took a brocade handkerchief from her bosom. Inside the handkerchief was a square object, but its contents were not discernible.
He then took out a few more silver notes and placed them on top before handing them to the clerk.
"Use these silver notes to buy wine for your brother. As for the contents of the handkerchief, just hand it over to Lord Guo. Under no circumstances should this handkerchief be opened. Do you understand?"
"Thank you, sir, I understand!" The junior officer accepted the silver, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and turned to leave.
Watching the flag bearer's departing the Back, Lu Xiaofeng held up the letter before his eyes, but did not open it.
"Is this a letter from the palace?" Hua Manlou asked, his nose twitching.
" Old Hua, guess what's in this letter?"
" The Good and Evil House!"
Lu Xiaofeng sighed, lit the letter directly on the candle flame, and said helplessly, "This is something we can't get involved in."
"So what do you plan to do?" Hua Manlou asked.
"I've done nothing; I've already returned the commander's token, and now I'm free of official duties."
" Lu Xiaoji, aren't you afraid that the emperor will be angry and order your head to be chopped off?" Sikong Zhaixing asked.
"This was forced upon me by the Emperor. I had an agreement with him that I could return this token to him at any time."
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Where's Ximen?"
"He went out early this morning!"
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized something, and his face changed drastically. "Oh no, Ximen has probably gone to the Good and Evil House."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ximen Chuixue walked in, but there was blood on the corner of his mouth and his face was pale.
" Ximen!" Lu Xiaofeng said worriedly.
Ximen Chuixue shook his head. "They didn't try to kill us!"
" Jiang Yuyan is so powerful, yet you couldn't even beat her?"
"It wasn't Miss Jiang who did it, it was Hei Zun!"
"That Big Cat? How is that possible!" Sikong Zhaixing exclaimed.
"What was the result?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Lu Xiaofeng's question was not about the outcome of the battle, but rather the process, or rather, an assessment of Hei Zun's strength.
Ximen Chuixue shook his head. "I was defeated after only one move. My sword is still not fast enough, not sharp enough."
Lu Xiaofeng and his two companions were greatly surprised. They knew very well how strong Ximen Chuixue was. Although he had not yet reached the Grandmaster Grandmaster, he was only one step away from it.
In terms of Combat, Ximen Chuixue is no weaker than other Grandmaster.
Even the mighty Ximen Chuixue was defeated, which shows just how strong that Big Cat was.
Ximen Chuixue went to the Good and Evil House simply because he wanted to see Ling Yi and find out if Ling Yi had truly developed a demon in his heart.
However, it's no longer a matter of inner demons; in the eyes of Ximen Chuixue and others, the Good and Evil House has now become a demonic tower.
The Qi and Blood Pill is real, the Cultivation Pill is real, Comprehension Pill and the Cultivation Method Pill are also real.
But all those who were captured and sent to the Good and Evil House disappeared and never came out again.
Lu Xiaofeng and his companions observed the Good and Evil House for a month.
In the past month or so, nearly a thousand people have been arrested and imprisoned.
Among them were ordinary people, Super First-Rate experts, and even two Master.
When these people were sent to the Good and Evil House, their faces were all covered with veils, whether they were the ones giving the gifts or the ones being given them.
Or rather, this is the case for most of those who are arrested and sent to the Good and Evil House.
While others didn't know who had captured and delivered these two Master, Lu Xiaofeng did.
According to information previously received from the Embroidered Brocade Guard, three days after the two Master were sent to the Good and Evil House, the Grand Eunuch Cao Zhengchun successfully broke through to the Grandmaster realm.
Not many people know about this, but not a few either.
Whether it was Cao Zhengchun or not is not the key point; the key point is that this matter has already affected the imperial court.
Cao Zhengchun was an ambitious man to begin with, and now that his strength has broken through to the Grandmaster, won't he become even more Wuji in the future?
During this period, quite a few people also tested the Good and Evil House.
Among them were Master and Grandmaster, but none of them returned.
This Good and Evil House has become a den of dragons and tigers.
No, in the eyes of Lu Xiaofeng and the others, this Good and Evil House is the Demon Tower.
"Young Master Ling has never harbored any murderous intent towards us, not even during our confrontation at Fallen Phoenix Mountain," Hua Manlou said at this moment.
"Seriously? Even at a time like this, you're still going to speak up for Ling Yi?"
"I'm just judging from my Perception, but I'm afraid the one with real ambition is Jiang Yuyan."
"If Ling Yi is a good person, why does he ignore Jiang Yuyan's behavior?"
"I just said he had no intention of killing us!" Hua Manlou had a strange feeling about Ling Yi.
The first time I met him, I felt that he was out of place with everything around him.
Although Hua Manlou is blind, he possesses an Innate Divine Ability similar to Mind-Reading.
This is what is meant by being blind in appearance but not in spirit.
Everyone has their own unique Aura.
These Aura encompass many aspects: scent, the flow of Internal Energy, the strength of Divine Power, the attributes of Internal Energy and True Yuan, and the interaction with the energy Aura Field of the surrounding world.
But Ling Yi was different. Ling Yi seemed to belong to another world. His Aura was smooth, closed, unfamiliar, and unknown, yet it was sharp and piercing.
When Ling Yi erupted in front of the Fuwei Escort Agency, Ling Yi Aura was different again.
To others, Ling Yi seemed mad and obsessive.
However, in Hua Manlou's "heart," Ling Yi's Aura remained perfectly smooth and Changes.
Not only that, but their sharp Aura was also somewhat toned down.
How could someone like that possibly develop inner demons?
The third time he met Ling Yi was at Fallen Phoenix Mountain.
The feeling he gave Hua Manlou was different; at this moment, Ling Yi's sharpness had been completely concealed.
Sikong Zhaixing did not understand what Hua Manlou meant.
But Lu Xiaofeng understood.
"But why would Ling Yi do this?"
"Instead of asking why, ask what he's doing. According to my information, Young Master Ling has already arrived in Mount Heng City," Hua Manlou.
The Hua Family naturally had its own information channels, and Ling Yi made no attempt to conceal his actions along the way.
It wasn't difficult to ascertain Ling Yi's whereabouts.
"Then let's go to Mount Heng City," Lu Xiaofeng said directly.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't get involved in Ling Yi's affairs?" Sikong Zhaixing was extremely wary of Ling Yi, even fearful of him, and he had no desire to see Ling Yi.
"Who said we'd meddle? We're going to watch the fun!" Lu Xiaofeng said.
"I'm not going!" Sikong Zhaixing shook her head.
" Ximen, what about you?" Lu Xiaofeng asked Ximen Chuixue.
"Go!" Ximen Chuixue replied succinctly.
"Are you alright with your injuries?" Lu Xiaofeng asked worriedly.
"I can defeat you in three moves at most."
Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes. This Ximen is really becoming less and less lovable.
In Mount Heng City, Ling Yi was taking Wang Yuyan for a aimless stroll.
There are still five days until Liu Zhengfeng retires from his life of crime. Ling Yi plans to wait until he has watched the spectacle, then find a jailer and have him set up Good and Evil House in Mount Heng City before leaving.
Ling Yi was very satisfied with Jiang Yuyan, the prison guard.
If Ling Yi hires more jailers, he can become a hands-off manager.
However, to become a prison guard, one Good and Evil Value compass, but there are very few people with Good and Evil Value.
It's not that Ling Yi hasn't encountered people with Good and Evil Value, but none of them meet Ling Yi's requirements.
As a prison guard, even if he doesn't have to be a Jiang Yuyan -type player, he at least has to be a qualified Old Liu.
Just then, Ling Yi's eyes lit up; he saw a familiar face.
To Wang Yuyan, who was still picking out apples at the fruit stand, he said, "Don't bother picking anymore, just buy them all!"
As Ling Yi spoke, he gave the fruit vendor a piece of silver and said, "Old man, please deliver this fruit to the Yuelai Inn for me!"
The fruit stall owner was overjoyed. His two baskets of fruit had only cost a little over a hundred copper coins, but this one tael of silver was worth a thousand copper coins!
Wang Yuyan said, "Young Master Ling, this is such a waste!"
"It's alright, take your time eating!" With that, Ling Yi greeted the group of people.
When the leader saw Ling Yi approaching, his body stiffened instantly, and he almost instinctively wanted to turn around and leave.
But he quickly adjusted his expression, stepped forward, clasped his hands in Fist Dao, " Yue Buqun greets Young Master Ling."
[ Yue Buqun: Good Value 410/ Evil Value 389, Good and Evil Value 21, Cultivation: Innate Fourth Layer!]
[ Ning Zhongze: Good Value 228/ Evil Value 45, Good and Evil Value 183, Cultivation level: Acquired Ninth Stage!]
[ Linghu Chong: Good Value 21/ Evil Value 19, Good and Evil Value 2, Cultivation: Acquired Sixth Stage!]
[ Lin Pingzhi: Good Value 9/ Evil Value 0, Good and Evil Value 9, Cultivation: Acquired Third Layer!]
[ Yue Lingshan: Good Value 1/ Evil Value 3, Good and Evil Value -2, Cultivation: Acquired Third Layer!]
In just two months, Yue Buqun's Evil Value has increased by sixty points. If we had met any later, his Good and Evil Value would probably have turned negative.
However, to Ling Yi's surprise, all of these people, except for Yue Lingshan, had positive Good and Evil Value.
Ling Yi didn't really care whether Yue Lingshan had a negative Good and Evil Value.
What he was curious about was why Lin Pingzhi had joined the Huashan Sect, just like in the original storyline.
Could it be that Old Yue still has his eye on the Bixie Sword Manual?
Or has Old Yue already cut it?
He probably didn't cut it, otherwise Yue Buqun's strength wouldn't still be at the Innate Fourth Layer.
" Sect Leader Yue, are you interested in working for me?"
"Young Master Ling..."
"Don't rush to refuse. Listen to the terms first. If you follow me, I can make you a Master instantly, and you'll advance at least one minor realm in a month."
A glint flashed in Yue Buqun's eyes; he was tempted.
If someone else had said this, Yue Buqun certainly wouldn't have believed it, but he could believe about 60% of Ling Yi's words.
Haven't you seen how Jiang Yuyan, a mere girl, has become fearless even against Grandmaster in just over two months?
It's worth noting that just two months ago, Jiang Yuyan had only just Entry Martial Dao training.
Yue Buqun was tempted, but he didn't want to agree openly, nor did he want to lose his image Gentleman Sword.
No one understood better than Yue Buqun how important a persona was to those in the Jianghu world.
For example, the Good and Evil House is defined as the Demon Building, Ling Yi is defined as a demon. These are also character settings that others have imposed on the Good and Evil House and on Ling Yi.
If he agrees to Ling Yi's ranks in front of everyone around him, there will be no turning back.
"Thank you for your kind words, Young Master Ling. The Five Mountains Sword Sects are of one heart and one mind, and I, Yue, will certainly stand with the Five Mountains Sword Sects in times of crisis!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice of praise rang out, " Sect Leader Yue speaks well! Our Five Mountains Sword Sects are of one heart and one mind; how could this fiend incite us with just a few words?"
Turning my head, I saw a group of nuns walking towards me.
Among these people, Ling Yi saw Yilin.
The one speaking was Abbess Dingxian of the Mount Heng Sect.
Ling Yi did not refute Dingxian's words, but instead sneered and turned to leave.
It's not that I'm afraid of the Mount Heng Sect, but I'm too lazy to communicate with people who are brainless and stubborn.
The most terrifying people in this world, besides truly evil people, are these kinds of fools.
These kinds of people also have their own stereotypes, such as: a bad teammate, a sanctimonious sympathizer, cannon fodder, a pawn...
