It was 10 p. m. on a street two kilometers away from the Ninety-Five Commercial Building.
"Someone's following us!" Ling Yi suddenly whispered to Zhao Wenwen.
Zhao Wenwen was taken aback because she hadn't Perception anyone else's Aura.
She was only at the First Layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and her Spiritual Sense was still very weak; at most, her Spiritual Sense could scan a range of ten meters.
That's not the key point. The key point is, why can Ling Yi Perception someone is there, but she Perception n't?
Could it be that Ling Yi has already reached the Qi Refining Second Layer, or even higher?
Just one afternoon? That's ridiculous!
"You 'Qi Refining Second Layer?" Zhao Wenwen asked.
Ling Yi shook his head. "My Spiritual Power is only 10 points. As for how I Perception it, I don't want to say."
Zhao Wenwen was not angry about Ling Yi's simplistic, male-centric remarks.
In her eyes, this is called honesty.
It's better to tell yourself you don't want to talk about it than to make up some excuse.
How did Ling Yi Perception it?
He wasn't actually using Spiritual Sense; his Spiritual Sense wasn't much stronger than that of an ordinary First Layer of the Qi Refining Realm.
The reason they were able to Perception that someone was following them was entirely due to the Martial Practitioner's intuition.
Yes, Martial Practitioner do not possess Spiritual Sense, but Martial Practitioner instinctive perception is far superior to that of cultivators.
They are especially perceptive when someone harbors malice towards Martial Practitioner.
The stronger Martial Practitioner is, the more perceptive they become.
"Is it very strong?" Zhao Wenwen asked, but there was no worry on her face, and she even seemed eager to try.
"Can I kill him?" Ling Yi countered.
Are you sure you can kill him?
Ling Yi nodded. "Since they chased us out of the black market and found us, they must already know what we look like."
"If we can kill them, it's best to nip it in the bud; otherwise, we'll inevitably face endless trouble."
When Ling Yi said this, he kept staring at Zhao Wenwen, observing her reaction.
Whenever Zhao Wenwen showed any sign of displeasure, he would change his excuse and send her away.
Then he went alone to kill those who were pursuing him.
"You're right, they must die," Zhao Wenwen said coldly.
She herself didn't care, after all, she had someone protecting her in secret.
But Ling Yi couldn't do that.
"Do you know who it is?" Zhao Wenwen asked again.
It doesn't matter who you are, you're all going to die anyway.
"That's Haki!" Zhao Wenwen's eyes flashed with a strange light, and she gave Ling Yi a thumbs up.
"So what do we do now?"
"Find a place where you can create an opportunity for the other party to make a move."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Come with me."
Then he turned and led Zhao Wenwen into a small alley.
Meanwhile, not far from them, Zhao Feng and Gu Xue, who had been following Ling Yi and his group, witnessed this entire scene.
"It seems that after all these years of inactivity, rats have reappeared in the black market." Zhao Feng's face was icy cold.
"In the end, money is the ultimate motivator. Ling Yi earned 1,500 Spirit Stone in one night, which aroused envy."
Gu Xue shook her head and said.
"He's young, just a greenhorn. Humph, he doesn't know when to stop."
Zhao Feng was somewhat dissatisfied with this, even though his daughter had always been protected.
Either way, it put Wenwen in a dangerous situation.
"Young people always have to endure some hardships!" Gu Xue didn't seem to care.
"I don't care if that kid suffers, but my precious daughter can't suffer even the slightest bit."
As they were talking, three figures had already followed Ling Yi and the others into the alley.
Zhao Feng had somehow acquired a small sword in his hand.
The small sword is entirely azure blue, but it has no hilt; both ends are blades.
It slowly floated in Zhao Feng's hand.
This is Zhao Feng's natal Flying Sword, clearly indicating that Zhao Feng is ready to strike at any time.
However, what happened next shocked the couple Dawei.
The three men were gone in less than twenty seconds after entering the alley.
Ling Yi didn't waste a single word throughout the entire process; the moment the three appeared, he rushed straight at them.
With Lightning speed, in Ying Yi, each of the three was punched in the heart.
Then, the three of them collapsed to their knees on the ground, not even having time to scream before they twitched a few times and went completely cold.
A dozen seconds later, Ling Yi and Zhao Wenwen walked out of the alley and headed towards Ling Yi's house.
"Hiss, what a decisive and ruthless move," Zhao Feng murmured.
"He killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators with Three Fists. Is Ling Yi not only a cultivation genius, but also Martial Dao genius?"
"Isn't it said that Immortal Martial cannot be cultivated at the same time?"
In fact, it's not just that Immortal Martial cannot be practiced simultaneously; is immortal cultivation incompatible with any other system?
Martial Practitioner can be Ability User, Magic Mage can be Martial Practitioner, and Ability User can be Magic Mage?
But Martial Practitioner, Magic Mage, and those with Ability User cannot be cultivators.
If it's incompatible, then it's incompatible.
Well, except for those who use cheats.
Those who use cheats are no longer bound by the system's rules; they exist outside the rules themselves.
Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Gu Xue shook her head and said, "He doesn't cultivate Martial Dao, so his Power of Qi and Blood isn't high."
"Where did someone at the Qi Refining Realm get such strength?"
"This kid has a lot of secrets. Could he be Ling Yi's cheat code user?" Zhao Feng frowned.
"By the way, where are they going?"
Gu Xue said softly, " The Ling Yi family!"
"What?! I actually killed this kid?" Zhao Feng bristled like a cat whose foot had been stepped on.
"Keep your voice down! What are you doing, shouting like that? Don't you know you're disturbing me?" Gu Xue slapped Zhang Zhao Feng across the face.
This completely extinguished Zhao Feng's initial bravado.
"I'm sorry, honey, I was too loud, but how can Wenwen go to a boy's house?"
" Wenwen will not only have to go to boys' houses in the future, but she will also have to sleep there and have their babies."
Gu Xue rolled her eyes at her husband. " Wenwen will get married sooner or later, and besides, don't you know Wenwen's situation?"
Zhao Feng sighed, feeling guilty, and said, "It's all my fault, back then..."
"Alright, let's not dwell on the past. To be honest, I've never seen Wenwen this normal before."
"No matter who Ling Yi is or what secrets he may have, right now, he's the only one who can help Wenwen overcome the shadows of the past."
Zhao Feng fell silent upon hearing Gu Xue's words.
After a moment, he still said, "No, I need to go and keep an eye on things!"
Gu Xue was both amused and exasperated. She grabbed Zhao Feng's ear and said, "Come home with me!"
Meanwhile, at Ling Yi's home.
Ling Yi was fiddling with a storage ring on his hand.
This storage ring was taken from one of the people he killed.
It was also the only thing the three of them had besides their weapons.
"It's true what they say, robbing and stealing is the fastest way to get rich!"
"What, you want to be a great demon?"
"You could put it another way, like a hero who punishes evil and promotes good."
"You're not planning to do what we did today, a sting operation, are you?" Zhao Wenwen immediately guessed Ling Yi's thoughts.
"There's no other way; this method makes money too quickly."
Ling Yi pointed to the items on the coffee table and said, "I only earned 1,500 Spirit Stone after working all night."
"But this storage ring contains nearly 60,000 Spirit Stone, not to mention anything else."
"Sixty thousand Spirit Stone! I could Ascension!"
In addition to the 60,000 Spirit Stone, the storage ring also contained a large number of pills, including nearly 10,000 Qi and Blood Pill.
There were nearly five thousand Qi Gathering Pill, various magical treasures, cultivation techniques, incomplete cultivation techniques, and a whole host of other items.
In terms of true value, it's probably worth over 100,000 Spirit Stone.
Zhao Wenwen frowned and said, "I'm afraid these things don't belong to the three of them; they most likely belong to someone behind them."
"These things must not be revealed, otherwise it might cause trouble."
"Especially this storage ring; after all, people who possess storage rings are no ordinary individuals."
"No matter whose it was, it's mine now," Ling Yi said.
Did Ling Yi not know there was trouble behind this storage ring? Of course he did.
But since we've already taken it, are we really going to return it?
No way.
Moreover, with the resources in this storage ring, his cultivation speed will be incredibly fast.
As for what happens in the future, we'll talk about that later.
Once the person is killed and the West City are taken, there's no point in being afraid of anything.
Ling Yi took out the items one by one to examine them.
The contents of this ring feel like a general store, West City.
"Hmm, what is this?"
At this moment, Ling Yi discovered a token with a skull drawn on it, which clearly wasn't anything legitimate.
But when Zhao Wenwen saw the token, she immediately stood up.
" The Gu Emperor Sect!"
Ling Yi was startled by Zhao Wenwen's pale face and expression.
He actually saw fear on Zhao Wenwen's face.
I've never seen Zhao Wenwen with this expression since I met her.
"What exactly is the Gu Emperor Sect?" Ling Yi asked.
" The Gu Emperor Sect, the Gu Emperor Sect, how could it be the Gu Emperor Sect?" Zhao Wenwen's face was full of horror, and her eyes were unfocused.
Ling Yi looked at Zhao Wenwen with concern. "Are you alright?"
But Zhao Wenwen seemed not to hear Ling Yi's words, still muttering "Gu Emperor Sect" under her breath.
" Zhao Wenwen!" Ling Yi suddenly shouted.
The sudden sight made Zhao Wenwen was in a daze, shudder, but a glimmer of light finally returned to her eyes.
" Zhao Wenwen, can you tell me what the Gu Emperor Sect is?" Ling Yi's voice was much gentler now.
Upon hearing Ling Yi's voice, Zhao Wenwen finally recovered from her arrow-soul state.
Then she threw herself into Ling Yi's arms and burst into tears.
This left Ling Yi completely at a loss.
Ling Yi couldn't understand why Zhao Wenwen was so terrified of just a token.
Or perhaps Zhao Wenwen suffered some terrifying experience because of the Gu Emperor Sect?
But Zhao Wenwen was crying incessantly, and Ling Yi knew it wasn't the time to ask.
But he picked up his phone from the coffee table next to him, typed with one hand, and searched for information about the Gu Emperor Sect.
Surprisingly, it actually exists online.
The Gu Emperor Sect was an organization that betrayed humanity twelve years ago and sided with a Great Demon from a secret realm.
They used Gu worms to control their followers, specifically capturing children to train them by raising Gu worms.
This method is extremely cruel and Coldblood.
It is said that out of a hundred children, only one will survive after a hundred days.
The survivor will be implanted with a Gu worm and trained to become a suicide warrior.
They will be sent to various schools when they grow up.
Every child who survived was exceptionally intelligent and gifted.
They would naturally receive special training from the school and then enter high-level positions in various countries.
When the Great Demon from the secret realm invades, we'll work together to cause trouble.
The Gu Emperor Sect had everything planned perfectly; if it had succeeded, it would have been an absolute catastrophe for humanity.
Until the Gu Emperor Sect captured a child they shouldn't have.
