“I heard that your Shaoyang Sect also has a Foundation Establishment Stage Late Phase Vice Sect Master. Where is he?”
At this moment, Ye Lin asked. According to his Master’s notes, the Shaoyang Sect had two Foundation Establishment Stage Late Phase experts, but from the beginning until now, there had only been the old man in front of him.
“Alas, my Junior Brother went out a few days ago and unexpectedly encountered a true evil demon halfway through. He fought with that evil demon but was ultimately no match, returning severely injured. He is currently recovering in a secret chamber.”
“And that evil demon also suffered severe injuries. After that, it was the situation Fellow Daoist saw: the evil demon incited evil Cultivators to try and destroy my Shaoyang Sect, and for that, we have Fellow Daoist to thank for his assistance.”
“Otherwise, my Shaoyang Sect… sigh.”
Hearing Lin Pingzhi’s narration, Ye Lin’s eyes flickered. The evil demon Lin Pingzhi spoke of was very likely Mo Yi, the evil demon he encountered in Wang Family Village a few months ago.
At that time, Mo Yi was only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, but now he could severely injure a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage Late Phase. It had to be said that the evil demon race was naturally stronger than the Human Race.
“No need to thank me, I am just acting on behalf of my Sect,” Ye Lin said, shaking his head.
“You know the main purpose of my visit this time, right?”
Seeing that Lin Pingzhi hadn’t reacted yet, Ye Lin proactively asked.
“Qingyun Sect, Saint position. Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist, my Shaoyang Sect will fully support you.”
“These are the resources offered by my Shaoyang Sect. Please accept them. From now on, my Shaoyang Sect will provide this quantity of resources every three months.”
At this moment, Lin Pingzhi seemed to have thought of something and immediately took out a Storage Pouch and handed it to Ye Lin.
A Storage Pouch is an item for storing objects, containing a very small space. Compared to a space ring, its grade is not just a little bit lower.
Ye Lin reached out and took the Storage Pouch, then put it into his space ring.
“Good. Evil demons are inherently cunning and malicious. Since your Junior Brother heavily injured the evil demon, it surely won’t let the matter rest. If evil Cultivators dare to invade your Shaoyang Sect again in the future, you can contact me at any time.”
Having received so many benefits from him, of course, he had to give him some hope.
“Of course, thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your protection.”
Receiving this promise from Ye Lin, Lin Pingzhi felt much more at ease. The reason he expended so many resources was precisely for this one sentence.
These small forces, without a Golden Core Stage expert to oversee them, could usually get by, but now that evil Cultivators were rampant, it was these small forces that suffered.
Without someone to cover them, they could only wait for death.
Now that they had a Personal Disciple from the Qingyun Sect covering them, they felt much more secure.
“By the way, do you know where that evil demon is now?”
At this moment, Ye Lin’s mind stirred, and he asked Lin Pingzhi. That evil demon was severely injured now; if he could find it, he could directly kill it.
According to his memory, that evil demon had a blue destiny. He must have gained a lot during this period, right? If he could kill it while it was severely injured, all its belongings would be his.
“Alas, at that time, my Junior Brother was almost on the verge of death, and that evil demon also disappeared without a trace. There is no specific location now.”
Lin Pingzhi naturally knew what Ye Lin was thinking. He had also wanted to take advantage of the evil demon’s severe injuries to kill it, but the evil demon’s whereabouts were hard to find.
“I suddenly have an epiphany and need an extremely quiet place. Do you have one here?” Ye Lin suddenly said.
Lin Pingzhi was startled, pondered carefully, and then spoke.
“My Shaoyang Sect is in chaos right now. The only quiet secret chamber is where my Junior Brother is healing, so the only quiet place left is the ruins in the back mountain.”
“I will take Fellow Daoist there now.”
Hearing Lin Pingzhi’s reply, Ye Lin nodded in satisfaction.
Because Lin Zisheng’s Opportunity was precisely within the Shaoyang Sect’s back mountain ruins. Ruins, by definition, are desolate places, so they must be quiet.
Following Lin Pingzhi all the way to the destination, Ye Lin looked around. It was a desolate area, and some buildings could faintly be seen.
“Fellow Daoist, this is my Shaoyang Sect’s back mountain. This place was once occupied by a Sect. Now, a hundred years later, only this remains.”
“No one usually comes here, so Fellow Daoist can Cultivate with peace of mind.”
“That’s excellent. Your Shaoyang Sect is in chaos right now, and you still need to calm the people’s hearts, so there’s no need to waste time with me here.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking to Lin Pingzhi, he walked into the ruins with his hands behind his back.
Watching Ye Lin’s back, Lin Pingzhi turned and walked back towards the Sect. Ye Lin was right; the Shaoyang Sect was in chaos at this moment, and he urgently needed to return to preside over the overall situation.
Within the ruins, Ye Lin walked step by step, circling around. There was no specific location on the panel, so he could only search systematically.
“Found it.”
Looking at the long saber placed under the huge stone in front of him, Ye Lin’s face lit up with joy. He then pushed aside the huge stone and picked up the long saber.
“A Profound Rank Middle Grade weapon. Although it’s not very useful to me, its value is there. When I switch to the next Sect, I will exchange it with that Sect.”
A Profound Rank Middle Grade weapon was considered a priceless treasure for small forces. As long as Ye Lin took it out, he believed that even if they used all their Sect’s resources, they would still exchange it with him.
“The panel shows that Lin Zisheng will only come to the Shaoyang Sect tomorrow. Since that’s the case, I’ll Cultivate here for one night and wait for Lin Zisheng to arrive tomorrow.”
“With the panel, I can always grasp your whereabouts. You can’t escape my grasp.”
After speaking, Ye Lin casually found a spot, sat down cross-legged, and began to Cultivate.
In a blink of an eye, a night passed.
“Foundation Establishment Stage Late Phase, still a long way off.”
Looking at the powder of the Low-Grade Spirit Stone in his hand, Ye Lin shook his head. His foundation was too profound, and coupled with him being a five-grade dao platform, breaking through required double the resources and time.
Of course, the returns were also very great, which was that Heaven-Defying combat power.
“Calculating the time, Lin Zisheng should be here by now, right?”
After a moment of thought, Ye Lin lifted his foot and walked towards the Shaoyang Sect’s main hall.
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on your cultivation advancement.”
At this moment, Lin Pingzhi, who was sitting in the main hall, bowed to Ye Lin. Although he couldn’t see through Ye Lin’s true strength, praising him first was always good.
“Sect Master Lin, from morning until now, has anyone visited?”
Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi was startled, then shook his head.
“No one has visited.”
“Good. Since that’s the case, I should leave as well. I’ve stayed for so long, and there are many other Sects waiting for me to rescue them.”
After getting the answer he wanted, Ye Lin walked out of the main hall.
“Is the Shaoyang Sect Master present?”
At this moment, a deep voice came from outside the main hall.
Hearing this voice, Ye Lin’s lips curved upwards. The sheep had arrived.
Walking out of the main hall, sure enough, Lin Zisheng was standing in mid-air with his hands behind his back, stepping on a Flying Sword.
But the moment he saw Ye Lin, Lin Zisheng’s expression changed drastically.
“This person… why is this person here?”
Looking at Ye Lin below, Lin Zisheng’s expression was as ugly as if he had eaten excrement.
“Senior Brother Lin, since we’ve met, aren’t you going to say hello?” Ye Lin said with a smile, looking at Lin Zisheng in the air.
“Ju… Junior Brother, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect you to be here too.”
Lin Zisheng descended with his Flying Sword, forcing a smile on his face as he spoke to Ye Lin.
“Senior Brother Lin, you came too late. I’m truly sorry for making you come all this way for nothing.”
Seeing Ye Lin like this, Lin Zisheng clenched his fists beneath his sleeves, his fingernails almost digging into his flesh.
