"This is a stronghold of the Ghost King Sect," Biyao introduced to the group in a secluded courtyard in Jing City.
"Your Ghost King Sect is truly audacious, daring to set up such a secret location right under the nose of the Qingyun Sect," Lu Xueqi said quietly.
"What, are you going to report them?"
"They're nothing but rats hiding in the shadows, utterly worthless."
"Hmph! Even if your Qingyun Sect is respectable, didn't Cangsong betray the Qingyun Sect? Once the war between the righteous and the demonic forces begins, Cangsong will collude with the Ghost King Sect from within, and your Qingyun Sect will crumble instantly."
Biyao's words struck a nerve with Lu Xueqi, causing her to break down.
She looked at Ling Yi anxiously and said, "Quickly send a message to your the Final Master and tell them about this."
"Alright, my the Final Master knows about Daoist Cangsong, and so does the sect leader. They've already made all sorts of arrangements, so you don't need to worry. Sending a message back now would only ruin their plans if Daoist Cangsong found out."
"So that's how it is. They've taken advantage of the situation; I'm Wuxin the Ghost King Sect is going to suffer a great loss at my Qingyun Sect."
Lu Xueqi successfully turned the tables, instantly making Biyao worried again.
Ling Yi was having a headache. These two women were speaking with barbs in their mouths. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to live like this anymore. He either had to separate the two of them or find something to distract them.
So, Ling Yi resorted to his tried-and-true storytelling method.
Talking about Zhu Xian? No, no, no, Ling Yi doesn't intend to reveal his identity as a transmigrator in this world.
Even if it's a spoiler, it's a leading spoiler.
For example, the process of "deducing" the truth about Grass Temple Village for Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu at the beginning.
Therefore, when Ling Yi talks about " Shrouding the Heavens," he is more accurately telling the story of the Empress Ruthless within the Shrouding the Heavens.
The story wasn't long; Ling Yi finished telling it in an Shichen. This was after Ling Yi had "improved" the story by incorporating his own speculations. Even so, it still instilled a deep sense of respect in the three women in the courtyard for the Great Emperor Ruthless.
They were all pondering the same question: if they were in the position of the Empress Ruthless, could they do these things for the one they loved?
You Ji thought of Wan Jianyi, while Biyao and Lu Xueqi stared intently at Ling Yi, their unwavering gazes sending a chill down Ling Yi's spine.
At this moment, Zheng Hai suddenly blurted out a rather jarring remark. "I think the Great Emperor Ruthless was a bit selfish. After finding Heavenly Emperor Ye's Reincarnation, he used the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin to lure him away from Earth, regardless of whether Heavenly Emperor Ye wanted to or not."
"He was living a good life on Earth, with a house and a car, enjoying a very comfortable life. How arduous it must have been for him to embark on the path of cultivation! When he returned to Earth, his parents had died of grief and longing. This is probably Heavenly Emperor Ye's greatest regret."
After Zheng Hai finished speaking, he saw Ling Yi looking at him with a displeased expression, while the three women, You Ji and the others, stared with great curiosity, since Ling Yi's story had omitted too many details.
What is " Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin "?
"You and Ling Yi are from the same hometown. Is this a story from your hometown?"
"Where was the Empress selfish? She waited for her brother through countless Reincarnation, and finally found his Reincarnation body. Isn't it normal for her to Jieyin her brother back?"
"..." Zheng Hai realized that he seemed to have done something stupid again.
"Um, I suddenly remembered I have something important to finish, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, he vanished on the spot and returned to his own world.
Ling Yi was speechless. Was this guy digging a hole for himself and then running away?
"Junior brother, I want to hear the whole story!" Lu Xueqi said.
"Let's cultivate first. We'll train outside for a month and then go back. During this month, we must thoroughly master the Weapon Formula."
Biyao was quite dissatisfied. Ling Yi was going back in a month? Wouldn't that make it very difficult for her to see Ling Yi in the future?
The key point is... she glanced at Lu Xueqi, then turned and went back to her room, extremely displeased.
Ling Yi scratched his head. He had never encountered this situation before when he transmigrated. What should he do?
Am I going further and further down the path of becoming a scumbag?
Ling Yi did have feelings for Lu Xueqi, but he didn't want to take Biyao in as well.
In his heart, Biyao should belong to Zhang Xiaofan.
If things continue to develop in the current way, Zhang Xiaofan will have no chance at all.
Did the author simply let loose, or did he indulge himself?
Previously, you recruited one character per world; now you recruit two per world? Is this arrangement really appropriate?
"Hmph, if you hurt Biyao, I will never let you off!" You Ji said angrily, then turned and went back to her room.
Ling Yi looked at Lu Xueqi, Lu Xueqi also snorted and turned to leave.
Oh dear, it crashed.
Ling Yi shook her head and smiled wryly. What would a scumbag do right now? Comfort one person in the first half of the night, and then comfort another in the second half?
Ling Yi decided to do nothing and instead go out to let the air out first.
It was nearly evening, and there were few pedestrians left on the streets of Jing City. Most shops had closed, and the streets appeared rather deserted.
Ling Yi wandered aimlessly, but his mind was racing with ideas on how to develop more functions of the Weapon Art.
Simply condensing physical objects is not enough; the Voice Transmission bird used for transmitting messages also needs improvement. The One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique is just a knock-off; it would be more appropriate to call it the Clone Technique."
We also need to create a Teleport Array array, using Weapon Art techniques to refine the Formation, so we can fight whenever we want and leave whenever we want.
In addition, he also needs to have control skills. He was able to control You Ji's actions before, but that was just by overwhelming her with his power, relying on his boundless magical Magic Power in his Qi Sea.
Finally, there's cultivation. Using Weapon Formula to condense Spirit-Gathering Formation shouldn't be difficult, which will greatly increase cultivation efficiency.
Although he didn't need it, Lu Xueqi and the others desperately needed it. Without sufficient cultivation, the full power of the Weapon Formula couldn't be unleashed; cultivation was ultimately the foundation of everything.
The Tai Chi Mysterious Purity Dao also needs some improvement...
Just then, a light, melodious voice caught Ling Yi's attention.
"Grandpa, that guy over there looks really rich. Do you want to help him calculate his fortune?"
Although the sound was very soft, how could it escape Ling Yi's notice?
Ling Yi looked up and immediately burst out laughing.
These were two people, an old man and a young man. The old man was wearing an earth-brown Daoist robe, holding a whisk in his left hand and a similarly earth-brown flag in his right hand, on which a line of words was written.
"A sage points the way!"
The old man had a Wind Dao appearance, with white hair and beard, a rather thin build, and some cultivation, but his cultivation level was extremely low, only at the third level of the Jade Purity Realm, not even reaching the Object Manipulation Realm.
The little girl next to her, wearing a pink dress, with her hair styled in two cute buns, held a string of candied hawthorns in her hand. She looked quite pretty, especially her big, bright eyes, which sparkled with a Qi Jin.
Zhou Yixian and Zhou Xiaohuan, I never expected to run into these two.
Ling Yi became interested and walked towards the two of them.
But when Zhou Yixian saw Ling Yi, his expression changed drastically. He picked up Zhou Xiaohuan, threw away the fortune-telling banner, and ran away.
Ling Yi was taken aback, and instinctively chased after him.
Zhou Yixian's cultivation level was no match for Ling Yi's, and he was stopped by Ling Yi after only a few steps.
" Zhou Yixian, why are you running?"
"Nonsense, are you waiting to get us killed if we don't run? You're full of bad luck; anyone who touches you will suffer misfortune. Get out of my way!" Zhou Yixian said as he changed direction and ran again.
"Haha, my bad luck only works on those with malicious intent, what are you afraid of?" Ling Yi's Ying Yi, blocking Zhou Yixian's path once again.
"Nonsense! Bad luck doesn't discriminate between people! Are you kidding me? Six Ding Golden Armor, Earth Escape!" Zhou Yixian drew a hand seal in the air and then pointed to the ground.
"Ah, Grandpa, no! You're going to use that half-baked Earth Escape is a technique for escaping into the ground) again!" Zhou Xiaohuan cried out in alarm, and immediately let go of Zhou Yixian's hand.
" Xiaohuan, why did you let go?"
Zhou Yixian was shocked to find that Xiaohuan had let go of him. However, the spell had already been activated, and Zhou Yixian sank into the ground and disappeared.
"That's interesting!" Ling Yi said with a smile, stroking his chin.
Zhou Xiaohuan covered her forehead and muttered, "Oh no, oh no, Grandpa's probably been sent somewhere again."
"Is your grandfather's Earth Escape Technique is a type of magic that can be used to escape into the ground) unreliable?" Ling Yi asked.
"It's not just unreliable, it's extremely unreliable. I wonder where Grandpa has gone this time. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid we'll have to bury him."
Ling Yi was delighted and laughed, "Your grandfather isn't one to die young. Come on, let me take you to get something to eat first. He'll probably be back soon."
Zhou Xiaohuan retreated repeatedly, staring warily at Ling Yi, and said, "Grandpa said you're full of bad luck. If I follow you, won't I be plagued by misfortune?"
"My bad luck only affects those who have ill intentions towards me; if they have no ill intentions towards me, then nothing will happen to them."
"Really?"
"Aren't you alright now?"
"That's true. Logically, if there's misfortune, Xiaohuan should at least be warned, but she hasn't shown any signs of it."
"I am a disciple of the Big Bamboo Peak of the Qingyun Sect. My name is Ling Yi. Speaking of which, the Qingyun Sect and your grandfather probably have some connection, so you don't need to worry."
"Is my grandfather really connected to the Qingyun Sect? He always says he holds a very high position within the Qingyun Sect, and that even the Daoxuan leader Daoxuan would probably address him as 'Grandmaster'."
"But since you're of such a high seniority, why not take me back to the Qingyun Sect to enjoy a life of luxury?"
Ling Yi laughed and said, "Although your grandfather is of a very high generation, his cultivation level is very low. If you were the head of the Qingyun Sect, and someone came up to you claiming to be his ancestor, would you believe him or not?"
"Of course I don't believe it. Not only do I not believe it, I'll beat him up for being so ungrateful."
"Haha, that's right. So even if your grandfather knew his identity, he couldn't go back unless someone with extremely high cultivation or seniority proved it."
Although Zhou Xiaohuan appeared wary, she didn't seem to dislike Ling Yi much.
He let Ling Yi lead him to the nearest restaurant and ordered a table full of delicious dishes.
Having spent years following Zhou Yixian around, sometimes starving and sometimes full, Zhou Xiaoxian had completely forgotten about her unreliable grandfather and was now feasting.
This wasn't the first time Zhou Yixian had acted unreliably, but Zhou Yixian always managed to Wuyang unscathed. Zhou Xiaohuan was already used to it, so she wasn't worried at all.
Sure enough, Zhou Yixian found them before they had even finished their meal, though they looked quite disheveled...
