"According to the system, the last two system owners should be in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!" In a small town, Ling Yi was strolling around with several girls.
The town was bustling with people coming and going, hawking their wares.
However, the residents of the town did not seem to be in good condition; their clothes were tattered, and they rarely looked well-dressed.
Most of the people were pale and thin, lacking any robust physique.
This state of mind, coupled with the bustling scene, creates a strong sense of disconnect, making it feel very awkward.
"But why didn't you come to find Ling Yi?" Gao Lan asked.
"Either they're avoiding Ling Yi, perhaps due to some misunderstanding, like Murong Xi and Murong Yao before, or they simply don't have a chance to see Ling Yi," Yunshu analyzed.
Ling Yi was more curious as to why all seven system owners were in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Or rather, why must it be the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?
Thinking deeper, why must one be bound to oneself? Is it because one is a time traveler?
Furthermore, why must the system owner be a woman?
It's as if someone deliberately arranged it for me.
The Affection system is even stranger; it's clearly designed to keep these women tied to the creator.
Make them unable to leave you.
However, Ling Yi cannot control the Affection.
Moreover, Ling Yi felt that there was definitely something wrong with this so-called Affection.
Ling Yi's Affection for the girls were never actually very high.
After he transmigrated, he started killing people before he was even a year old, and destroyed a Martial Dao Sect sect before he was even two years old.
He left the mountain at the age of ten, challenged countless masters, perfected his Martial Dao skills, and deduced the Pinnacle martial arts techniques.
During this period, countless Martial Dao Sect sects were destroyed, and even several dynasties collapsed due to their own actions.
He has taken countless lives.
During this time, they experienced countless conspiracies and schemes, and faced life and death many times.
Ling Yi had trusted others before; after all, Ling Yi was incredibly lonely, and he had once longed for family, friendship, and even love.
But in the end, they almost got betrayed.
After this happened repeatedly, Ling Yi stopped trusting anyone.
In Ling Yi's mind, his relationship with Shen Qingyue and the others was merely one of cooperation; there was no question of how difficult it would be to Affection.
Even if there is some Affection, it will never be very high.
Therefore, the Affection determined by the system and the Affection as understood by Ling Yi are probably not calculated using the same system.
Regardless of the circumstances, the Affection did indeed bind the girls and Ling Yi together.
Fortunately, Ling Yi and the girls are currently working together quite well.
Although there's the constraint of the system's Affection, at least Ling Yi feels pretty good about it, so that's fine.
Ling Yi was simply curious: Why!
Unfortunately, there's no way anyone can give him that answer now.
"Haven't you noticed that everyone in this town is acting strangely?" Yunshu Voice Transmission.
"I know that these people are all severely deficient in Qi and Blood!" Mengli said.
"You Perception the position of their wrists yourselves," Shen Qingyue said, looking at one of the vegetable vendors.
Ling Yi had been lost in thought and hadn't noticed any of this.
Only now, upon Perception myself, have I discovered the problem.
In particular, the wrists of these people, whether left or right, were wrapped in strips of cloth, from which fresh blood seeped.
Under the Perception Spiritual Sense sense, beneath the strip of cloth was a hollow stem inserted directly into a blood vessel.
It's like a needle used for intravenous infusion.
However, the sclera is in a folded state, and once the sclera unfolds, it can drain fresh blood from the blood vessels.
"These people seem to frequently use this method to export their blood," Yunshu said.
Ling Yi Ling Yi frowned, because he was very familiar with this method.
It could even be said that no one knew him better than him.
"This is the Blood Demon Sect's method," Zhuang Yuerong had been silent until now, finally spoke.
" Blood Demon Sect? What's that?" Mengli asked curiously.
"When I was a maid, I heard people say that the Blood Demon Sect was an evil Martial Dao Sect sect that cultivated the Blood Demon Divine Art by devouring blood."
"In the past, members of the Blood Demon Sect would kill people directly and devour the Blood Lotus in order to obtain large amounts of blood, causing considerable bloodshed."
"In every dynasty and in every Jianghu, they are a notorious Demonic Cult that everyone hates and condemns."
"But seven years ago, a portion of the Blood Demon Sect in the Kingdom changed its strategy. They stopped killing and started trading blood with ordinary people."
"They may offer money or protection; all they need to do is provide the Blood Demon Sect with blood periodically."
Shen Qingyue exclaimed, "The person who made such an improvement must be incredibly intelligent."
"That's true. In this way, the Blood Demon Sect obtained a large amount of blood, and ordinary people were protected, which is a good thing."
"In some cities, people even worshipped the Blood Demon Sect Cult as a god."
"However, blood trading needs to be done in moderation. These people in front of us have clearly been trading blood frequently, and their bodies are depleted beyond repair. I'm afraid they won't live much longer."
Ling Yi's expression was strange, because it was he who had suggested this method.
The Blood Demon Sect is an extremely powerful force.
The Blood Demon Sect Cult has branches in almost every mortal country.
The Blood Demon Sect that Ling Yi destroyed was the Blood Demon Sect's headquarters.
The destruction of the main branch resulted in the complete loss of contact between the local branches and the main branch, leading to each branch operating independently.
Without the constraints of the main sect, many Blood Demon Sect branches became even more Wuji, causing trouble without thinking, and were subsequently crushed by righteous sects, or even by the armies of various countries.
For a considerable period of time, the Blood Demon Sect was universally reviled and nearly had its lineage wiped out.
Seven years ago, when Ling Yi was traveling to various countries, he encountered a branch of the Blood Demon Sect Cult.
What's interesting is that the leader of this branch of the Blood Demon Sect Cult, although he cultivated the Blood Demon Divine Art, was a person with a righteous heart.
Ling Yi thought this person was alright, so he gave him this idea.
Trading blood for money, or for protection.
Unexpectedly, seven years later, this method has become widespread.
Moreover, it seems that the Blood Demon Sect has not only not been destroyed, but has actually grown stronger.
"Junior Brother Ling Yi, you must be from the Blood Demon Sect, right?" Gao Lan asked at this moment.
[Ding! Ling Yi's Affection towards you has decreased by 1 point. Current Affection 92 points!]
Gao Lan directly took out a Hundred-Year Cultivation Card and gave it to Ling Yi.
"Raise my Affection back."
Ling Yi smiled and took the Hundred-Year Cultivation Card: "No problem."
[Ding, Ling Yi's Affection towards you has increased by 1 point, currently Affection 93 points.]
The other girls couldn't help but laugh.
This scene has happened countless times.
Ling Yi's Affection is easy to drop, but also easy to increase.
It was precisely because of this that, in the girls' minds, Ling Yi had long been recognized as petty and narrow-minded.
"This method of trading blood was proposed by me," Ling Yi said.
"I knew it was you!" Gao Lan said, raising her head.
"I was only ten years old at the time, and I happened to meet a branch leader of the Blood Demon Cult who had cultivated the Blood Demon Sect Blood Demon Art but was also a man of justice. So I gave him this suggestion."
"You're not talking about Ao Hongyue, are you?" Zhuang Yuerong asked.
"Hmm, it seems that's indeed the name." Ling Yi thought for a moment and nodded.
He then asked Zhuang Yuerong, "What, you know this Ao Hongyue?"
"Before I joined the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, I heard the Third Young Master say that this Ao Hongyue not only became the World's Finest, but also controlled several dynasties through the Blood Demon Sect."
