Chapter 259: Evil Being

“Yang Tianyou’s zombies are guarding that place. With our current strength, we can’t kill them at all.”
“The main objective now is Hidden Gold Valley. Think of a way to get number nine to shoot an arrow or throw a ball of paper or something. Give the coordinates of the ruin to Lin Ye and give it to him for free. Just treat it as our support for him,” said Headmaster Zhu.
“Wouldn’t that… be too easy on him?” Mingyue harrumphed.
“Mingyue, be more magnanimous. We are all compatriots from the Nine States. Lin Ye can be considered an outstanding person of our generation. Letting him rise quickly will be beneficial to us. Alright, you can go and prepare. Prepare to lead the troops to conquer Hidden Gold Valley.” Manor Lord Zhu waved his hand and dismissed Zhan Mingyue.
After she left, Chen Feng adjusted his glasses and said in a serious voice, “There’s something wrong with the Puppet Demon Sect. Ever since the Mighty Sky Army died there, all our scouts have died. My Heaven’s Eye only managed to deduce a possibility from the last image. It’s suspected that an evil heretic has been born.”
“It’s best to remind Lin Ye. Otherwise, it might cause unnecessary trouble.”
“I understand. I hope it’s not a heretic! Otherwise, it’s a bad thing for such a thing to appear so early. Besides, on Mingyue’s side…”
At this point, Manor Lord Zhu hesitated. “Let’s find time to tell her about her father and brother. She’s already an adult and has the right to know the entire story. It’s not good to hide it forever.”
“I understand. I’ll talk to her alone later.” Chen Feng nodded.
“Let’s leave it at that for now. Don’t worry about Lin Ye. Focus on Hidden Gold Valley. We can’t deviate from the bigger picture.”
After Chen Feng left, Manor Lord Zhu’s gaze landed on Lin Ye’s combat ranking.
After staring at it for a moment, he hesitated.
Then, he sighed softly and twisted the wrist guard on his wrist. He opened a pitch-black teleportation array and walked in.
…
On the other side, 9527 challenge tower.
Whoosh—
The door opened and Lin Ye stepped out.
For the 20 battles, it only took one per second. It did not take much time.
On the other hand, it took nearly two hours to condense an avatar.
“Lord Lin Ye!”
“God Lin!”
“I’m a reporter from Tiannan, Jiuzhou. Are you free? I want to do an exclusive interview with you!”
As soon as he came out, a swarm of people surrounded him.
There was a sea of people in front of him.
From time to time, they would use their Civilization Archive to take photos.
They would also ask him some interview questions such as: What do you feel after obtaining the title of the number one expert in the world?
The Zerg Emperor of the Beautiful Empire, Kerigan, wants to challenge you. What do you think?
You defeated Katou Takasugi from the Akatsuki organization. However, his sworn brother, Lin Tianhui, who is known as the strongest in the Ninja Kingdom has also challenged you. Do you have anything to say?
Towards the end, even questions regarding Hongxing Thirty Six could be heard.
“Where is everyone? Are they all dead? Come and protect me!”
Lin Ye hurriedly activated his Tycoon’s Wrist Guard and produced a golden protective light, blocking everyone outside.
These guys were too passionate.
Under everyone’s gazes, it was not appropriate for him to hit someone. He could only use his Mind Possession skill and shout angrily in the minds of the core team.
“Scatter!”
Han Qingqing was as domineering as ever as her Spirit Illusion world descended.
She pulled all the media personnel into the illusion and made them charge in the opposite direction.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xinyi and the others ran over with smiles on their faces.
“My lord, you are… too powerful!!!”
Zhang Chao, the die-hard fan, spoke first.
As he spoke, he did not forget to wave his fist and shout excitedly.
He looked even more excited than if he had won the prize himself.
“You’re not bad yourself. At such a young age, you’re already ranked one millionth in the Nine States. That should be enough.” Lin Ye smiled.
“But I want to be like the lord and become the strongest!” Zhang Chao said hopefully.
“There will be a chance. When I’m free, I’ll send you some upgrade scrolls and strengthening pills. Go back and strengthen yourself. While you’re cultivating, don’t forget to gather information. I’ll get Ma Niu to hand it over to you later. The two of you will be the priority in gathering information outside.” Lin Ye patted his head.
With that, he turned his head to look at the rankings opposite the challenge tower.
As expected, he was the number one person in the world.
From within, he could only see combat capability points. But what surprised him was that the top ten had been taken by the Lin race.
“When did you guys go in?” He asked.
“Not long after you entered, the other floors of the challenge tower were opened. There were hundreds of challenge rooms in total. Seeing that you wouldn’t be able to come out anytime soon, we went in one by one to try. Unfortunately, none of us surpassed Zhang Liang,” Li Xinyi said regretfully.
“There’s no need to compare with me. I’m taking advantage of my talent. In terms of combat power, Sister Xinyi’s Blood Feast has a higher limit.”
Zhang Liang said humbly.
“Don’t be so humble. All of us from the Lin clan are the strongest. Even if you’re not strong for the time being, I’ll bring you guys resources when we get back. Wear some top-notch equipment and you’ll still be able to soar to the skies.”
Lin Ye smiled and turned to Wang Qiang. “Why did you come out? Where’s Bai Yitong?”
The last time he came out from the ruin of the Mechanical Beast Sect, Wang Qiang and Bai Yitong had stayed behind to master the three great techniques.
“My talent is not good. Once I reached the fifth level of the Spirit Cultivation Technique, I wasn’t able to advance any further. Lord Ziyang said that I should come out to accompany the lord to gain more experience.”
“As for Bai Yitong, he’s more powerful than me. His talent also suits the Mechanical Beast Sect.”
“Being able to revise and repair the tattered manuals and mechanical beasts allows him to progress much faster than me. Before I came out, he was still cultivating. He probably won’t come out until the full seven days have passed.”
As Wang Qiang spoke, he took out a secret manual from his space ring and said with a smile, “My lord, Bai Yitong asked me to pass this to you. He said that he has modified the second version of the Twelve Zodiac Battle Aura Technique. With your constitution, you can now integrate two types of zodiac battle aura. As for the specifics, you will have to see for yourself.”
“Sure.” Lin Ye’s eyes lit up.
Currently, the various cultivation systems he cultivated had already begun to take off.
Only the battle aura and breathing techniques that he had first started practicing were still at the same level.
This displeased him.
Just as he was thinking about going to the Underworld to find some good cultivation techniques, Bai Yitong actually sent this to him.
After flipping through it briefly, Lin Ye instantly understood Bai Yitong’s thoughts because he also had the talent for revision.
However, there was no time to experiment now. He temporarily kept it in his space ring.
“My lord, I can’t hold on much longer. Let’s go back first.”
Han Qingqing, who was at the side, was sweating profusely. In the end, her talent was only a high-level talent, even though she was currently at the peak of Class 5.
Affecting hundreds of people with her skill was almost her limit.
Fortunately, there were not many experts in 9527’s room. Otherwise, she would be in deep trouble.
“That’s good too. It’s about time to get my avatar puppets as well.”
Lin Ye nodded and gave Zhang Chao a few more instructions before sending his first die-hard fan back.
A golden glow arose from under his feet and enveloped everyone from the Lin Clan before turning into a stream of light that returned to his territory.
