Upholding the Righteous Path, the Black-Yellow Sect Stands Alone!

Han Bing's breakthrough also brought Lin Ye a tremendous improvement.

"Ding! Congratulations, host. Your disciple Han Bing has achieved minor mastery of the Silver Body. With tenfold feedback, your Silver Body has reached perfection."

"Ding! Congratulations, host. Your disciple Han Bing has broken through to the Fourth Layer of the Body Forging Realm. With tenfold feedback, your cultivation... has broken through to the Innate Realm First Layer."

Boom!!!!

The True Qi within Lin Ye rapidly transformed into strands of Innate True Qi. As it circulated throughout his body, every bit of his skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs transformed into an innate body.

His strength underwent a tremendous transformation and improvement, and he soon completed his breakthrough.

"Finally, I've broken through to the Innate Realm First Layer!"

Lin Ye smiled.

Even the Blazing Sun Sect, a two-star sect, only had a few True Qi Realm martial artists and most likely had no Innate Realm martial artists. Only three-star sects had Innate Realm martial artists.

Moreover, his physical body as an Innate Realm martial artist was incomparably stronger than that of an ordinary one, and his strength was beyond what an ordinary Innate Realm martial artist could match.

Let's see how those two little fellows, Ye Chen and Yang Yang, are doing with the task.

Lin Ye opened the system and saw that the Black-Yellow Sect's fame was growing rapidly. More than ten thousand people already knew of it, but only one of the ten sect disciple slots had been filled. That was slow progress; if they were willing to kill sect disciples, they would finish quickly.

But...

Forget it. Dropping direct hints repeatedly would seem too deliberate. I'll take it slow.

Lin Ye stopped paying attention to the two disciples. He would first raise Han Bing's strength. The stronger Han Bing became, the faster Lin Ye's own realm would rise through the tenfold feedback.

A few more days soon passed, and Han Bing's cultivation broke through again, reaching the Body Forging Realm Fifth Layer. At this realm, his strength improved a little more slowly. Lin Ye estimated that this corpse Sha treasure ground could raise his cultivation to the Body Forging Realm Ninth Layer at most.

"Huh? Three of the ten sect disciple slots have been filled. Who killed two more sect disciples?"

Lin Ye had just woken up when he saw that two more slots had been filled. He looked carefully through the system records and discovered that his eldest disciple, Ye Chen, had killed them.

"Damned beasts."

Ye Chen stared coldly at the two corpses on the ground. The two had been sect disciples who controlled a bandit stronghold and committed all manner of evil in the area. They had even captured many young women solely to cultivate an Evil Method.

But the person cultivating the Evil Method was probably someone else, not these two. After all, they had only just broken through to the Body Forging Realm.

Boom!!!!

A wave of bloody Qi rushed at his face. A young man in a blood-red robe appeared before Ye Chen, his eyes blood-red and an evil presence emanating from his entire body.

"You killed my two junior brothers. You've got some nerve."

The young man looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of killing intent. His presence erupted in full, revealing his cultivation at the Body Forging Realm Fifth Layer.

"Die!"

The young man turned into a blood-red afterimage and charged at Ye Chen, who activated the Demonic Shadow Clone Technique and formed illusory clones, leaving the young man utterly bewildered in an instant.

"Pure Yang Finger."

Ye Chen thrust a finger wreathed in blood-red light at the young man. The young man's cultivation was higher than Ye Chen's, and he reacted, but he still failed to dodge.

Pfft!

Ye Chen's finger pierced the young man's arm, and blood flowed out. The young man quickly pulled away, his face livid.

"Is that the 'Blood Yang Finger,' the 'Yin Devil Finger,' or some other demonic-path finger technique? It's so powerful. It must be a high-grade profound-rank technique. Brother, although I'm outwardly a disciple of the Blazing Sun Sect, I'm actually a spy for the Mystic Blood Devil Sect. We might even belong to the same sect!" the young man said, trying to get friendly.

"What 'Blood Yang Finger' or 'Yin Devil Finger'? This is the Pure Yang Finger, a martial art of the righteous path!" Ye Chen shouted.

"..."

The young man was dumbfounded. That finger technique of his was as purely demonic as could be. How could he have mistaken it? Although the man didn't have that evil demonic presence about him, the finger technique was clearly not one of the righteous path!

But judging by Ye Chen's expression, he didn't seem to be lying. Could it really be some righteous-path finger technique similar to the demonic path's "Yin Devil Finger"?

Just then, Ye Chen attacked again. His Demonic Shadow Clone Technique was too terrifying for the young man to fend off. Ye Chen poked hole after hole in him, and his injuries grew more severe.

"Run!"

The young man was terrified. He tried to escape quickly using a lightness Movement Method, but he still couldn't get away. With no other choice, he took out an extremely valuable talisman—the Blood Escape Talisman. It was damaged, but still immensely valuable. It was his life-saving trump card, and he had never been willing to use it.

"Go!"

The Blood Escape Talisman turned into a blood-red light that enveloped the young man, and he swiftly fled. But then he saw something that horrified him: Ye Chen was also enveloped in blood-red light and was chasing him down at an even greater speed.

"That's a real Blood Escape Technique!!!"

He was truly dumbstruck. He had actually believed this fellow! A demonic-path finger technique and the Blood Escape Technique, yet he still claimed he wasn't on the demonic path?

Throughout the Chu Kingdom, the demonic path had long since been wiped out. Only the Mystic Blood Devil Sect remained, hiding in the shadows and clinging to its last breath. In his view, Ye Chen was definitely also a disciple or spy of the Mystic Blood Devil Sect, yet he had come here to act as a hero and wipe him out.

Had this fellow's heart demon flared up? Had he gone mad?

"You're a demonic-"

Before the young man could finish, Ye Chen's White Bone Claw snatched him out of the escape light and seized his neck. With a hard squeeze, he snapped the young man's neck, killing him in one blow.

"Demonic fiends and heretics deserve to die!"

Ye Chen spoke coldly, meeting the young man's innocent and angry gaze. The look gradually faded, and his eyes lost all their light.

After killing the young man, Ye Chen searched the stronghold and found a good deal more money. He then went down the mountain to distribute it and spread word of the Black-Yellow Sect's mighty reputation.

"Why is this Storage Bag so small? Only one cubic meter?"

The Storage Bag in Ye Chen's hand had been taken from the young man. He searched it and found some money, a few cultivation methods, and a weapon.

Hehuan Harvesting Technique!

Blood-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method!

Devil Blood Claw!

He leafed through the cultivation method, and its contents were evil: harvesting women to cultivate, devouring martial artists' blood to cultivate, killing people to cultivate, and countless other evil things. He destroyed the cultivation method on the spot.

"The demonic path really is the demonic path. Even its cultivation methods are so evil, yet that fellow said I was on the demonic path. I cultivate Pain Dao-Body Forging, Pure Yang Finger, Pure Yang Escape Technique, Pure Yang Claw, and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Their contents all belong to the righteous path, with nothing evil in them at all. How could they possibly be demonic? It's simply absurd!"

After seeing these demonic-path cultivation methods, he became even more certain of one thing: their Black-Yellow Sect was thoroughly righteous. And the Blazing Sun Sect, despite being a two-star sect, actually had demonic-path spies-three of them, and perhaps even more.

In his eyes, the entire Blazing Sun Sect was rotten to the core.

"Upholding the righteous path, the Black-Yellow Sect stands alone. Perhaps Master knew this, which is why he sent us down the mountain to gain experience, uphold the righteous path, and kill the scum among these sect disciples," Ye Chen said in realization. At that moment, his State of Mind seemed to rise an entire level.
