“I’m here to submit a mission.”
Ye Lin tapped on the table, and Sun Xiao turned his head at the sound, looking at the extremely busy Sun Xiao in the distance.
“Senior Brother Ye? You’re here to submit a mission? But it hasn’t been more than five hours since you accepted the mission.”
Sun Xiao was shocked. What mission did Ye Lin accept? It was a sixth-grade and a fifth-grade mission!
The first mission alone was not something a Personal Disciple could complete on his own.
“Yes, you can settle it.”
At this moment, Ye Lin took out dozens of imprints and placed them in front of Sun Xiao.
These imprints all contained Devilish Qi, and by simply looking at the concentration of the Devilish Qi, one could tell the Cultivation of the imprint’s owner, so it was generally very easy to judge.
“Senior Brother Ye, please wait.”
Upon seeing this, Sun Xiao’s expression became serious, and he began to examine them.
After a while, Sun Xiao was full of shock.
“Senior Brother Ye, the inspection is complete. The quantities all match. I’ll go get your reward now.”
After speaking, Sun Xiao put away the imprints and went to find Spirit Stones.
“Oh, and I found this thing while completing the mission. Settle this for me as well.”
At this moment, Ye Lin placed the Aurora Sword on the table.
“Okay… okay.”
At this time, Sun Xiao was already numb with shock. The mission with the highest difficulty coefficient had been completed by Ye Lin alone; he was simply not human.
The reason he took it out was because the Aurora Sword was useless to him. A Xuan Grade Low-Rank longsword, even for a large Sect like Qingyun Sect, was an indispensable treasure.
If he kept it for himself, he would never be able to take it out in a place with many people and eyes, and thus the longsword would become scrap metal. Moreover, he already had a longsword, so the Aurora Sword was not very useful to him.
It was more worthwhile to exchange it for five Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
“Senior Brother Ye, this is all the reward. Please count it.”
At this moment, Sun Xiao walked up to Ye Lin with a cloth bag, his hand holding the bag trembling. When had he ever seen so many Spirit Stones?
“Thank you.”
Ye Lin took the cloth bag, thanked him, and then walked towards the door.
“Heavens, what kind of immortal is Senior Brother Ye? He’s so fierce.”
Looking at Ye Lin’s back, Sun Xiao was full of shock. From before until now, the shock Ye Lin gave him seemed to be consistently greater.
“I must strive to Cultivate Tiger's Roar in the Mountains and Forests to the third layer to cope with the upcoming Dragon Abyss Cave. The hundred colors flower that Master mentioned must also be obtained.”
“However, in five days, I still need to go out and deal with that assassin. Otherwise, being constantly targeted by this thing is annoying.”
Ye Lin, sitting on the bed, stroked his chin and pondered.
As far as he knew, these assassins were like wolves; if they didn't succeed, they would never give up.
Being targeted all day was not a pleasant feeling.
Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, five days had passed.
“Tiger's Roar in the Mountains and Forests is still a little short of the third layer, but I’ll go deal with that assassin now and try to Breakthrough Tiger's Roar in the Mountains and Forests to the third layer before the Dragon Abyss Cave opens.”
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Lin got up and walked towards the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
As soon as he stepped out of the Sect, Ye Lin felt a presence constantly following him.
This made him admire the assassin’s professionalism. He was truly dedicated; he had been squatting outside the Sect for five whole days.
Ye Lin walked all the way to a canyon, and the assassin behind him followed closely, showing no intention of attacking.
“Did he notice me? Or did I not reveal any flaws?”
Ye Lin stroked his chin in thought, then deliberately released a Foundation Establishment Initial Stage Qi. Upon closer inspection, this Qi was erratic, appearing as if it was about to drop in Realm.
Just as Ye Lin was strolling leisurely, a terrifying killing intent suddenly came from behind him.
“He took the bait.”
Ye Lin’s lips curled up, and he turned around, throwing a punch.
With a loud bang, blood splattered everywhere. A one-armed masked man lay on the ground, wailing in pain.
With one punch, one of the assassin’s arms was directly blown apart by Ye Lin.
“How is this possible? I’m a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator!”
The assassin’s heart was filled with despair at this moment. Are you kidding me, you bastard? You blew off the arm of a dignified Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator with one punch. You call this a little guy who just Broke through the Foundation Establishment Stage not long ago?
The next moment, his vision went black, and then there was no more ‘then’.
Ye Lin slowly squatted down and rummaged through the person’s body, then pulled out three Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
“Poor guy, so poor yet still out here being an assassin? Disgraceful.”
Looking at the three Low-Grade Spirit Stones in his hand, Ye Lin cursed silently.
Immediately, Ye Lin returned to Qingyun Sect to continue his Cultivation.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
Inside a grand hall on Fire Feather Peak, one of the nine inner peaks of Qingyun Sect, belonging to the Third Elder, Lin Zisheng’s face was ashen.
“Damn it, what did this Ye Lin do? A dignified Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator was actually killed.”
Lin Zisheng was furious. Just now, someone from the Killing Sect contacted him, saying that the assassin they sent out had mysteriously disappeared, which made him extremely angry.
“Disciple.”
At this moment, the Third Elder walked into the hall and looked at the ashen-faced Lin Zisheng.
“Master.”
Looking at the Third Elder in front of him, Lin Zisheng got up and bowed.
“Did you go to the Killing Sect to hire an assassin to assassinate Ye Lin?”
As soon as the Third Elder spoke, cold sweat streamed down Lin Zisheng’s back. How did the Third Elder know this?
One must know that infighting among fellow Disciples was the most intolerable thing in Qingyun Sect, and the target of the killing was even a Personal Disciple.
“Master, I was wrong.”
At this moment, Lin Zisheng said sincerely.
“Foolish child, foolish child! You are truly confused. Do you know that for us Cultivators, what we Cultivate is the Dao Heart? As the saying goes, Cultivation is Cultivating the heart.”
“What you did means you are already afraid of Ye Lin. From now on, he will become your eternal Heart Demon. Do you understand?”
The Third Elder said, exasperated. He didn’t know why his originally intelligent Disciple had become so confused at this moment.
“Master, but I hate him. Even when I Cultivate, I can still see his shadow.”
Lin Zisheng gritted his teeth. Ever since he was publicly defeated by Ye Lin, he couldn’t even calm down to Cultivate.
“This is a Heart Demon, do you understand? To get rid of a Heart Demon, you must personally kill him.”
At this moment, the Third Elder slowly said.
“But Master, that Ye Lin is currently at the peak of his power. I’m afraid… I’m afraid…”
Mid-sentence, Lin Zisheng stopped speaking.
“Hmph, in a few days, the Dragon Abyss Cave will open. At that time, people from other forces will also come. After all of you enter the Dragon Abyss Cave, whatever happens inside, the outside world will not know.”
“As far as I know, Ye Lin doesn’t have a single close friend in Qingyun Sect, nor does he know Disciples from other forces. At that time, you can do whatever you want in the Secret Realm, don’t you understand?”
Listening to the Third Elder finish, Lin Zisheng’s eyes lit up. The Third Elder’s words had completely enlightened him.
That’s right, whatever happens in the Dragon Abyss Cave, the outside world will not know, and that Ye Lin doesn’t know anyone else, only Li Miaoling, but Li Miaoling is nothing to fear.
In that case…
At this moment, a perfect plan emerged in Lin Zisheng’s mind.
“Master, I understand.”
