As soon as Ling Yi stepped out of the school gate, a minivan stopped in front of him.
The van door opened, and two people rushed out. One grabbed Ling Yi's arm, while the other quickly circled behind Ling Yi Ling Yi chopped him on the neck.
Ling Yi turned to look at the person who had cut his neck. Was this person just tickling him?
The person who cut Ling Yi's palm was also a little confused. Wait, how come a little guy who hasn't even reached the Qi Refining Realm isn't knocked unconscious after being cut by him?
Ling Yi understood the meaning in the man's eyes. "Hmm, then I'll just let him faint!"
He wanted to see what these people were up to.
Ling Yi glanced at the man, closed his eyes, and then slumped down.
But the two men grabbed him by the arms and shoved him into the van.
The car door closed, and the van sped away.
Inside the car, Ling Yi used his Spiritual Sense to Perception the Aura of these people.
There are six people in total: four in the back seat and one each in the driver's seat and the front passenger seat.
Apart from the person in the passenger seat, who was a cultivator in the Middle Foundation Establishment Stage, everyone else was Martial Practitioner.
These Martial Practitioner were not very strong; they were all at the Skin Refining Realm, with the highest being only at the Pinnacle of the Skin Refining, not even at the Bone Refining Realm.
To be honest, Ling Yi only really offended two groups of people: one was Gao Song from the black market.
He was one of the three Spirit Stone guys who were unwilling to accept being cheated out of the black market, and were Later Instant Kill by Ling Yi.
He was also the owner of the storage ring that made Ling Yi rich overnight.
Ling Yi couldn't help but think of the Gu Emperor Sect token in the ring. Could it be that the ring had attracted this person?
It's just that the narration ran out today, otherwise Ling Yi would have immediately known who these people were.
"Search him, see if the ring is on him," one of the people in the back row said.
They really came for that ring.
"Stop searching. We can't touch this ring. We're only responsible for arresting people. Nothing else is allowed to be touched." The Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator in the passenger seat stopped the people in the back.
"Boss, what if there's something inside the ring...?"
"What, does my word no longer carry weight?" The Foundation Establishment cultivator's voice suddenly turned icy.
Immediately, the person next to Ling Yi fell silent.
"Some things you can touch, some things will kill you if you touch them," the Foundation Establishment cultivator sneered.
That's a smart person; he must know something, know the origin of that ring, which is why he didn't dare touch it.
Ling Yi leaned back in the back seat. Although his eyes were closed, his Spiritual Sense was like Dragon Radar, projecting all the surrounding scenes into his Sea of Consciousness in a three-dimensional mode.
At the same time, using Spiritual Sense to condense the Six Paths Soul Control Seal, they were silently imprinted onto the souls of these individuals.
Soul Seal can be tangible or intangible.
The fourth seal in the Six Seals of the Soul Suppression Art, the Soul Control Seal, is a semi-transparent, square-shaped seal with a pale green hue.
If it is formless, then it cannot be seen or Perception.
Those with a lower level of Spiritual Sense than Ling Yi were unable to Perception it.
The ability to control souls silently is the domineering and evil aspect of the Soul Suppression Art.
Ling Yi guessed that the Demonic Monk Jindu probably didn't know how many people he had harmed using the Six Seals of the Soul Suppression Art.
Someone who dares to scheme against Zhao Wenwen Zhao Wenwen and use her soul to raise a little monster would never systematically cultivate the Soul Suppression Art to strengthen their soul.
It is highly likely that the main focus will be on devouring monsters and refining life souls.
With this sudden turn of events, it seems we'll have to deal with the matter of the demonic monk later.
Fortunately, the demonic monk did not leave Dafeng City, but concealed his Aura and hid in a hotel.
This guy seems extremely confident in his stealth abilities!
Unfortunately, it could not escape Ling Yi's Primordial Spirit Spiritual Sense.
After driving for ten minutes, the car finally arrived at a small road next to a Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School.
The car door opened, and they pushed Ling Yi out of the car without stopping; they simply drove away.
The next moment, two people came out from the side door of the martial arts school. One of them picked up Ling Yi and the two went back into the martial arts school.
Ling Yi knew about the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School.
It has quite a reputation in Dafeng City.
There are many martial arts schools in Dafeng City. These schools are actually equivalent to after-school tutoring centers in the previous life.
This applies only to Martial Practitioner.
The master of this Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School possesses a martial art called Fierce Tiger Fist, which is of Middle Third Pin rank.
It has produced two city-level martial arts exam champions.
This is why Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School is so famous; even though the tuition for one semester exceeds 100,000 yuan, the number of places is still limited.
If there are after-school tutoring classes specifically for Martial Practitioner, then there must also be after-school tutoring classes for Ability User, Magic Mage, and so on.
But there were no after-school tutoring classes for cultivators.
Because official regulations explicitly state that cultivators are not allowed to run tutoring classes outside of school.
The reason is simple: they fear that some mercenaries might use their positions for personal gain.
It is said that more than three hundred years ago, there were various immortal cultivation sects within the Ancient Country.
These cultivation sects, which stood above worldly rules, are now all gone. The reasons behind this are obvious.
As for why other martial arts schools don't ban them, it's simple: they're not worthy.
Martial Practitioner are very strong in the early stages, but they do have a ceiling.
Any gatekeeper from the Heavenly Dao Sect could easily scan all the other cultivators within the Ancient Country kingdom.
Let alone the Heavenly Dao Sect, the strongest cultivation school officially represented, even the mayor of a city is enough to control other cultivators.
Throughout history, the strongest Martial Practitioner has been the one who Spirit Refining, and the highest level of martial arts skill can be the one who achieves the Dan Jin Core Formation). However, even Dan Jin expert is no match for Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
In the Ancient Country, there were over 100,000 cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm or above, several hundred at the Spirit Severing Realm or above, and seven powerful Spirit Transformation Realm stage.
Cultivators are, after all, cultivators, far superior to other practitioners.
Or perhaps this world is simply more suitable for cultivators to grow.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Soon, Ling Yi was taken by the two men from the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School to an office on the third floor.
There are three people in the office.
Sitting on the sofa was a young man dressed in a white suit, whose cultivation had actually reached the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm.
Two other middle-aged men in black suits stood behind the young man, looking like two iron towers, both very robust.
They were all Martial Practitioner at the Organ Refining Realm, and they appeared to be the young man's guards.
"Guardian, the person has been brought." The man carrying Ling Yi placed Ling Yi on a chair and respectfully said to the young man.
"You all stand guard at the door. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
"Yes, Protector!"
The two left the office and closed the door behind them.
"I know you're awake, stop pretending," the young man said mockingly to Ling Yi.
"How did you figure that out?" Ling Yi opened his eyes, sat up straight, and asked curiously.
"How could Gao Song, who could instantly kill someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage, be stunned by trash in the Skin Refining Realm stage? Tsk tsk, who would have thought that a Lower Third Pin Spiritual Root would actually be a genius who cultivates both immortality Immortal Martial?"
"Cultivating both Immortal Martial arts, aside from those who have cheated, no one in the world has ever been able to do it. So, you must be one of those cheaters, right?"
"You must be a cheater, right?"
"Are you from the Gu Emperor Sect?" Ling Yi countered.
"Hmm, one of the twelve protectors of the Gu Emperor Sect, codenamed Bai Yao!" The young man seemed to feel that everything was under control, so he did not hide his identity as a protector of the Gu Emperor Sect.
" Bai Yao, is there any significance to this code name?" Ling Yi asked.
"It's just a code name!"
He paused, then chuckled, "You're quite calm. It seems you must have something to rely on."
"Wasn't the Gu Emperor Sect destroyed?"
"Even if it's destroyed, it can be rebuilt. As long as the Demon King is still alive, we can create a hundred, a thousand Gu Emperor Sect."
That makes sense.
" Ling Yi, hand over the ring and join the Gu Emperor Sect, and you can live." Bai Yao seemed unwilling to waste any more time and went straight to the point.
But Ling Yi smiled slightly and said, "Slap yourself twice."
"Huh? What?" Bai Yao was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, a scene that horrified him unfolded.
His hands seemed to have lost control, slowly rising up and then striking his own face with a resounding slap on each cheek.
"Are you Ability User?" Bai Yao asked with a grim expression.
He then turned to his two subordinates behind him and said coldly, "Are you all blind? Kill this guy!"
But the two people behind him remained motionless. Just as Bai Yao was about to say something, the two of them seemed to have all their strength drained away, and they collapsed to the ground one on each side without making a sound.
Ling Yi dragged his chair closer to Bai Yao before asking, "Tell me about the Gu Emperor Sect. If you do well, you live; if you don't, you die!"
About half an hour later, Ling Yi walked out of the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School with a solemn expression.
Looking back at the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School, who would have thought that this Fierce Tiger Hotel was actually a stronghold of the Gu Emperor Sect!
And everyone in the martial arts school, from the owner to the students, the cleaning staff, and the security guards, were all members of the Gu Emperor Sect.
That's not the most terrifying thing. The Gu Emperor Sect has unknowingly established more than thirty strongholds in the Ancient Country. Each stronghold has at least one or two hundred people, and some have several thousand.
As for how the Gu Emperor Sect revived, as Bai Yao said, as long as the Gu Emperor exists, the Gu Emperor Sect can never be destroyed.
However, this Gu Emperor is not the Gu Emperor Gu Emperor that Zhao Feng destroyed twelve years ago, but rather its offspring.
Although the original Gu Emperor was killed, his offspring was taken to the Radiant Water Country by a survivor of the Gu Emperor Sect and sent to a medium-sized secret realm.
The Gu Emperor has now become the Demon King of this medium-sized secret realm. Although he is called the Demon King, his cultivation level is not high, only equivalent to the Golden Core Realm of immortal cultivation.
The reason it can reign supreme in the secret realm is because it can infinitely reproduce Gu worms, using them to control other Demon Clan Spirit Beast the realm.
That's why I was able to become king in this secret realm.
That's not all; nowadays, the high-ranking officials of the Radiant Water Country are almost all controlled by the Gu Emperor.
To put it another way, the entire Radiant Water Country has now become the stronghold of the Gu Emperor Sect Gu Emperor Sect.
Three years ago, the Gu Emperor Sect of the Radiant Water Country infiltrated the Ancient Country with a large number of Gu worms.
They secretly developed more than thirty strongholds.
The Gu Emperor Sect continued its Heaven Replacement Plan twelve years ago.
However, the solutions are different.
This time, the Gu Emperor Sect is directly targeting the artificial secret realm assessment a year from now.
