NOVEL NEXT Chapter 19
Lin Yuan is currently lacking in martial arts.
In today’s world, whether it is the Demon Suppression Bureau or the various major sects, the inheritance of martial arts is highly valued, and leaking it is strictly forbidden.
For ordinary people who have not joined a sect, the only way to learn martial arts is through martial arts schools.
However, they can only learn low-level martial arts.
Let alone True Gang Realm, as long as one has a Blood Exchange Realm martial art, it can already be considered a “large martial arts school” and is regarded as a treasure of the sect!
The only advantage is, martial arts schools teach as long as there is money.
As for whether one can learn it, it depends on individual comprehension.
“Golden Body Technique…”
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan’s face.
Another True Gang Realm martial art!
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the hard skill in Lingsheng Sect for demon hunters, explaining its formidable defense.
If it weren’t for Lin Yuan’s dual breaking of limits in Skin Refinement and Blood Exchange, coupled with the perfect realm of the Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique, it would not have been so easy to sever Fan Long’s arm with a single strike.
Obtaining any True Gang Realm martial art is not easy.
In the initial simulated life, Lin Yuan became eligible to receive “Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique” after becoming a lieutenant in the Demon Suppression Bureau, that much is evident!
“Ah, I saw it recorded in a book I have at home!”
Ji Ling, rarely finding her own value, suddenly felt spirited and explained incessantly, “The other name for the Summon Deity Ritual is blood sacrifice, but strictly speaking, there are two types.”
“The first type is like the monster from Lingsheng Sect just now, sacrificing oneself, burning essence blood and vitality, in exchange for temporary great power.”
Lin Yuan put away the “Golden Body Technique” and nodded, “What about the second type?”
“The second type is ‘Sacrifice to Evil Gods’!”
Ji Ling’s charming face revealed a touch of seriousness as she carefully explained:
“Sacrifice to Evil Gods often uses the lives and flesh of others as sacrifices, extremely brutal and bloody. Once successful, it will attract a strange power…”
“Different Sacrifice to Evil Gods bring different strange powers.”
At these words, Lin Yuan’s expression changed, “Like… the Cult of Fire?”
“Yes, it seems that Young Master Lin has also heard of it. This is also the most widely known large Sacrifice to Evil Gods. Even today, the place is still a desolate land, a thousand miles of red earth.”
Ji Ling nodded.
“In fact, the vast majority of Sacrifice to Evil Gods are limited to a small area and form ‘strange phenomena,’ extremely difficult to eliminate… Many ghost stories passed down among the people are actually derived from this.”
She usually likes to read some strange stories, so she knows quite a bit about it.
“Are Evil Gods really a thing?”
Lin Yuan casually asked his doubts.
“I… don’t know.”
Ji Ling hesitated for a moment, shook her head, “It is not mentioned in ancient books, and it seems that no one has ever seen a real Evil God. Even Sacrifice to Evil Gods attracts strange power, as for where this power comes from, or who it comes from… it is unknown.”
As they spoke, Ji Ling’s gaze fell on the bodies of the guards not far away, a touch of sadness appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she whispered, “Young Master Lin, can you wait for me… I, I want to bury Old Li.”
“I suggest burning them.”
Lin Yuan glanced at her and said with a faint tone, “Otherwise, they will be eaten by wild beasts sooner or later.”
Ji Ling was startled, pursed her red lips, “Okay.”
After a moment.
Ji Ling turned to look at the roaring flames in the big pit, then followed behind Lin Yuan, walking towards the foot of the mountain.
The dead have passed away.
The only thing she can do is to properly compensate the families of the deceased guards after returning.
After leaving, properly compensate the families of the deceased guards.
…
The Black Mountain stretches endlessly, with vast expanses.
Strictly speaking, it is actually a continuous mountain range.
At this moment, the rain has cleared up.
Normally, there would be many people going up the mountain to gather herbs or hunt.
This is how they make a living.
However, as Lin Yuan and Ji Ling walked all the way, they didn’t see a single person, which was extremely unusual.
Until at the foot of the mountain, they saw dozens of bailiffs standing there, stopping hunters and herb gatherers from going up the mountain, did they understand the reason.
“The action is not slow.”
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Obviously, the bureau had already interrogated his neighbors and those few ruffians. They might have exposed some other followers of the Lingsheng Sect.
Some who were either slightly brainwashed or driven by greed, where was there any backbone?
They probably confessed everything long ago.
After confirming it was a sacrifice to the evil god, the bureau was probably quite scared, so while reporting to the Demon Suppression Bureau, they quickly sent people to guard the entrance and exit of the Black Mountain.
Lin Yuan’s gaze scanned over those who were guarding, most of whom were familiar faces.
One of them was Zhang Tie.
And in front of them stood a young man in dark brocade robes, with a sword at his waist, looking indifferent.
“Demon Suppression Bureau…”
Lin Yuan lowered his eyelids, his face calm, and continued to walk.
He had mixed feelings about the Demon Suppression Bureau.
Inside were indeed many upright individuals, dedicated to slaying demons, such as his direct superior, Leader Yan, who, at the risk of being punished, helped him seek mercy until the end.
There were also some useless guys, only interested in power and profit.
In the end, Lin Yuan met a fate of being beheaded, all because of a groundless accusation…
It was truly ridiculous.
Suddenly.
The young man in dark brocade seemed to sense something, turned and stared fiercely at Lin Yuan and Ji Ling, his eyes sharp as knives.
At that moment.
Zhang Tie also saw Lin Yuan, his face immediately changing, striding forward and scolding:
“Xiaoyuan? When did you go up the mountain? Knowing that the Lingsheng Sect demon hunters are sacrificing to the evil gods on the mountain, you still dare to hunt, seeking death!?”
After speaking, he quickly turned around and nodded to the young man in dark brocade, smiling as he said:
“Captain, this stinky kid is called Lin Yuan, his father was also a bailiff, who passed away in duty a few years ago… This time with the Lingsheng Sect matter, he was the first to find clues, otherwise we would still be kept in the dark.”
Hearing this.
The young man in dark brocade cast a few glances at Lin Yuan, nodded slightly, and then withdrew his gaze.
“My father’s relief money is almost gone, so I planned to go up the mountain to gather some herbs to supplement the household. Who knew that as soon as I went up, I ended up being drenched like a soaked chicken…”
Lin Yuan naturally knew that Zhang Tie was speaking up for him, smiling bitterly.
He didn’t have the habit of hiding his strength.
It’s just that in just a few days, to go from an ordinary person to a True Gang Realm warrior was too exaggerated, risking unnecessary trouble.
At least a gradual progression was needed.
Bailiff?
Going up the mountain to gather herbs?
Ji Ling, standing beside him, had a look of confusion in her beautiful eyes.
But she didn’t say a word, just silently followed next to Lin Yuan.
“You shouldn’t go up the mountain at this time!”
Seeing that the Demon Suppression Bureau captain didn’t say anything, Zhang Tie breathed a sigh of relief, gestured to Lin Yuan, and said, “Alright, don’t be reckless in the future, go back quickly.”
Lin Yuan nodded, calmly walked past the young man in dark brocade.
“Wait!”
