Seeing Ling Yi's smile, Elder Yun Yi felt a strange sense of disgust.
Just as he was about to increase the pressure of his Spiritual Power, his face suddenly turned red.
It seemed as if they were trying desperately to control something.
"Puff!"
A hissing sound came from Elder Yun Yi, and a moment later, a stench filled the entire area.
Elder Yun Yi's face had turned a deep purple.
As a cultivator, how could he do such a thing in public? How could he ever face anyone again?
He tried to Li Qiang, but the more he suppressed it, the more it rebounded.
How could a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator like him possibly suppress Ling Yi's methods?
"Junior brother, this is really..." Xian Yu frowned; this was truly unbecoming.
If this gets out, not only will Elder Yun Yi lose face, but the entire Heaven and Earth Gate will also lose face.
"I... hiss... I might have... hiss... gone astray in my cultivation... hiss... forgive... forgive my rudeness, junior brother... I... hiss... I'll take my leave now."
Elder Yun Yi, trembling and gritting his teeth, left the scene with a series of rhythmic sounds.
Who was in the mood to stay here now? Without even saying goodbye to the sect leader, everyone fled the scene as if they were escaping.
Ling Yi quickly pinched his nose and returned to Li Mengyun's side, giving her a wink.
Li Mengyun instantly understood, chuckled to herself, and left the scene with Ling Yi.
Back at her residence, Li Mengyun couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha, a cultivator actually let his guard down! Elder Yun Yi is probably going to become the laughingstock of the entire Heaven and Earth Sect."
"How did you do that? Cultivators no longer eat grains. Although the Foundation Establishment Stage isn't exactly free from all impurities, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be leaking energy, haha!" Li Mengyun asked Ling Yi curiously.
"Would you like to give it a try?" Ling Yi asked.
"Ugh, uh, cough cough, no, I don't want to!" Li Mengyun shuddered. Just thinking about that horrible scene made her think that if it were her, she would rather be dead.
No one suspected that Ling Yi was the one who did it. In everyone's eyes, he was just an eight or nine-year-old child, except for two people.
One of them was Elder Yun Yi, who clearly saw the Taunt smile on Ling Yi's face before the leak occurred.
This is definitely not the expression that a fool would have on his face.
The other person was the sect leader.
But he suspected not only Ling Yi, but also Li Mengyun.
Ling Yi's Aura was strange. Although no Spiritual Power could be sensed, the Spiritual Power detection jade pillar reacted.
Ling Yi only flicked the wrist "lightly," and others didn't notice, he saw it very clearly. Where was the slightest hint of him putting in his full strength?
It's more like he's controlling his own power.
Li Mengyun, however, had actually reached the Golden Core Stage, and she was not even thirty years old.
Most cultivators would never reach the Golden Core Stage without at least a hundred or two hundred years of cultivation.
No one understood better than him what a Golden Core Stage sword cultivator meant.
Upon returning to his sect's main hall, he immediately ordered his faction to investigate Ling Yi's identity and assigned two Golden Core Stage Shadow Guards to keep an eye on Li Mengyun and Ling Yi.
For the next ten years, Ling Yi didn't leave his house even once, except to continue comprehending the Power of Laws.
Cultivating immortality knows no time; in the blink of an eye, the Canghai into mulberry fields.
Over the past decade, Ling Yi has grown from a child into a handsome nineteen-year-old young man.
Although Ling Yi did nothing in the past ten years, it was the most comfortable ten years Ling Yi had ever lived.
Without the seal and shackles, it was like Houzi being freed from its Headband-Tightening Spell. This feeling of having everything under control at all times almost made Ling Yi forget that he was still a Protagonist. No, to be precise, he still needed to play the role of a Protagonist well.
"Shall we go to the Ancient Demon Forest?" At noon, Li Mengyun asked Ling Yi after returning to her dormitory.
Ling Yi didn't speak, but looked at Li Mengyun.
Compared to ten years ago, Li Mengyun and Ling Yi can only be described with two words: perfect.
It's that kind of exquisite perfection found in 3D Chinese animation, so perfect it's almost unreal.
Over the course of ten years, Li Mengyun, who had been able to gain enlightenment almost every day by absorbing the Dao Rhyme emanating from Ling Yi, had already reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage.
When Li Mengyun was undergoing Nascent Soul reshaping, she created this appearance for herself.
When someone is so perfect that they become uninteresting, people lose interest in them.
At least when Ling Yi looked at Li Mengyun, he always felt that he was not facing a person, but just a living 3D projection.
It's only for appreciation, but it can't evoke any impulses.
Li Mengyun was already used to Ling Yi's taciturn nature, so she explained, " The Ancient Demon Forest is rich in all kinds of Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, Supreme Pin medicinal herbs, and rare treasures. It is said that there are also many ancient cultivators' caves inside."
"Someone discovered Shadow of the Heaven-Breaking Divine Sword in the Ancient Demon Forest. It's the divine sword used by the only person to ascend to the Immortal Ascension Platform a hundred years ago, the Cloudless Sword God."
"Go!" Ling Yi knew this was part of the plot.
"I plan not to come back after leaving the Heaven and Earth Sect this time. That old Wang Chong has tested me several times already, and he's getting a bit annoying."
Wang Chong is the name of the sect leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect. His current strength is... somewhat strange.
"If you hadn't secretly intervened several times to scare him away, I'm afraid he would have already taken my Sword Soul," Li Mengyun said indignantly.
"Three more years!" Ling Yi murmured, gazing at the sky.
"You mean the Immortal Ascension Platform? Yes, there are still three years, but I have absolutely no confidence."
"Give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised!" Ling Yi said with a smile.
Why didn't Ling Yi kill Wang Chong? Because the mastermind behind it all hadn't appeared yet.
Wang Chong was merely a pawn being used, his fate already sealed, so Ling Yi couldn't be bothered to kill him.
The Ancient Demon Forest should be a major turning point in the story of this world, and I believe it will be very interesting.
" Wang Chong and the others have already set off. When do we leave?"
You want the Heaven-Breaking Divine Sword?
"Yes, if I obtain the Heaven-Breaking Divine Sword, my chances of ascending to the Immortal Ascension Platform will increase significantly."
"That's not yours!" Ling Yi shook his head.
"Why?"
"The divine sword already has an owner!"
"But Cloudless Sword God already ascended to the God Realm?"
You'll find out then, let's go!
"Can't you..." Before Li Mengyun could finish speaking, she found herself and Ling Yi already in the sky.
"... Aren't you going to pretend?"
After finishing her sentence, Li Mengyun looked at Ling Yi with a frustrated expression and said, "Could you give me a hint next time?"
Ling Yi didn't speak, but looked down.
This is a valley, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, a riot of color.
A somewhat simple-minded young man is currently being chased by a man and a woman.
The three of them Leap and tumbled through the sea of flowers, their three Flying Sword occasionally colliding with each other in mid-air.
This scene looks incredibly beautiful.
But only the three people involved in the battle can truly understand the dangers involved.
" Feng Hong, Lan Rui, Yun Feng?" Li Mengyun asked in surprise, "Why are Feng Hong and Lan Rui chasing after Yun Feng?"
"It's not a chase, it's Capture!"
"Is that old Wang Chong going to make a move against Yun Feng's Sword Soul?" Li Mengyun instantly understood the cause and effect.
She had known about the sect leader Wang Chong's practice of Plunder other people's Sword Soul to increase his strength for ten years.
Not only did he know, but the other elders knew as well.
Not only did they know that, starting five years ago, they had also planned to Plunder the Sword Soul of their disciples in order to quickly increase their strength and prepare for the appearance of the Immortal Ascension Platform.
But whenever they were about to harm their disciples, the disciples would mysteriously disappear from sight. After this happened more than ten times, they dared not make a move anymore.
Those disciples who disappeared have been sent into the Ling Realm by Ling Yi.
However, Wang Chong ultimately took the blame for this incident.
Xian Yu and his group believed that these were prey that the sect leader had set his sights on and did not want them to get their hands on.
This resulted in the strength of Xian Yu and the others remaining almost Changes over the past ten years, still at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with the strongest, Xian Yu, only reaching the Peak Foundation Establishment.
" Yun Feng's Lightning-Element Sword Soul is indeed very important. It's likely that not only the sect leader but also those elders have long been eyeing Yun Feng's Sword Soul."
"Aren't you going to help?" Li Mengyun asked.
" Yun Feng will be fine. Don't ask why, just keep watching and you'll find out. Spoilers are no fun," Ling Yi said with a shake of his head and a smile.
"..." Li Mengyun really wanted to strangle Ling Yi. This guy always only said half of what he meant, which was incredibly annoying.
Feng Hong and Lan Rui are both disciples personally taught by the sect leader, and both have the cultivation level of the Early Golden Core Stage.
Yun Feng, on the other hand, was only at the Peak Foundation Establishment Stage.
Feng Hong wields a red Flying Sword; she is a fire-type Sword Soul. Lan Rui wields a blue Flying Sword; he is a water-type Sword Soul.
Yun Feng's Flying Sword was a purple serpent, crackling with Thunder.
The three Flying Sword circled and collided in the air. Although the lightning-type Flying Sword had the property of paralysis, Yun Feng's current cultivation level was still too low, and they could not cause much damage to the two.
The suppression of cultivation level caused Yun Feng to suffer repeated defeats, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated and captured.
But at that moment, an inexplicable and powerful Pressure suddenly descended upon Feng Hong and Lan Rui, causing them to freeze in their tracks. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yun Feng first knocked their Flying Sword down, then turned and ran.
He didn't know why their Flying Sword suddenly lost so much Spiritual Power, but escaping was the priority, and he couldn't care less about anything else.
The pressure on Feng Hong and the other woman only disappeared after Yun Feng had gone some distance away.
They looked at each other in bewilderment. Clearly, someone was helping Yun Feng, but after scanning with their Spiritual Sense for a long time, they found no one.
"Senior brother, should we pursue them or not?" Feng Hong asked Lan Rui.
"You know the consequences of mission failure. Yun Feng has no way out, and neither do we," Lan Rui said expressionlessly.
"Senior brother..."
"Don't say it aloud, I know what you mean. We need an opportunity. If we can obtain the Heaven-Breaking Divine Sword, perhaps..."
The two looked at each other for a moment, nodded in tacit agreement, and then continued their pursuit of Yun Feng.
"See? I told you Yun Feng would be alright, didn't I?" Ling Yi said with a smile.
Who did it?
Ling Yi pointed to the sky but said nothing. He then flew over, keeping Feng Hong and the others at a distance.
