Chapter 63: Ling Yi!

  "Is this...?" Wu Peng's eyes widened as he stared at the woman, unable to help but exclaim, "Ling Yi!"

  "Who is Ling Yi?" Qin Yi asked in a low voice.

  "Ling Yi is a genius disciple of our college, she's Luo Xiao's senior sister and has a very high status. She's now one of the elders of the college. It's said that at the age of thirty, she had already reached the tenth level of Flame Master. Ten years ago, she started closed-door cultivation to break through to the Flame Master realm. Now she's actually come out of seclusion, could it be that she successfully broke through?" Wu Peng stared at this legendary figure in the college, his eyes wide with excitement, quickly introducing her to Qin Yi.

  "It's actually Luo Lü's senior sister, but she looks so young, not at all like a 40-year-old person." Qin Yi sized up Ling Yi, and no matter how he looked at her, he felt that she was just a 28-year-old girl.

  Her eyebrows were slightly raised, with a hint of red, like the scorching sun, like fierce flames, making people look up at her once, and their whole body felt like it was burning with heat. Her sharp aura made everyone in the room, except for Qin Yi, dare not to look directly at her, even Luo Xiao, who was her junior sister, could only lower her head and follow behind her.

  Ling Yi gave Qin Yi a deep look, not hiding the admiration in her eyes. She walked to the front of the Divine Thunder Platform and scanned the crowd: "Who just said they wanted to go find the Law Enforcement Squad and the Punishment Elder?"

  Her gaze swept around, as if the scorching sun was blazing, flames bursting forth, and the people around her all felt a wave of heat pressing in, making it hard to breathe, as if their souls were about to be burned.

  "Ling Yi elder, this is a private matter between our Huang Ji Yuan and Qin Yi, I hope you won't interfere." A male disciple walked out of the crowd.

  He looked at Ling Yi with difficulty and quickly lowered his head.

  "This Ling Yi elder is truly powerful, his aura is indeed worthy of the Flame Warrior's tenth level. Just his gaze alone can almost scorch people." Qin Yi gazed at Ling Yi, sighing in admiration.

  If he hadn't cultivated the Black Python Shattering Void Fist, he would probably be like the other disciples, timid and fearful.

  "Oh? Private matter?" Ling Yu's mouth corners rose.

  Although he appeared to be smiling, the scorching heat emanating from him caused the disciples gathered before him to involuntarily take a step back, avoiding his sharp gaze.

  "Yes." The disciple, with difficulty swallowing a mouthful of water to moisten his nearly smoking throat, mustered up the courage to say: "Qin Yixue's demonic energy has entered his body. Not only did he injure fellow disciples, but also attempted to kill and steal treasure in broad daylight. We should take him down now and hand him over to the Punishment Elder for punishment."

  "Oh? Is that so?" Ling Yi's face showed a playful smile, "But why did I see that a talented disciple defeated his arrogant senior brother, and then the senior brother's gang of thugs tried to bully and take revenge on him?"

  "This..." Ling Yi's words suddenly left this young man speechless.

  "Brother, Elder Ling Yi is backing you up!" Wu Peng and the others stared with wide eyes, both shocked and delighted.

  Qin Yi was also quite surprised and didn't expect Ling Yu to come out specially to speak for himself, but when he saw Luo Hua behind Ling Yu, Qin Yi immediately understood.

  Ling Yi should have known that she had saved Luo Hua before, and just now the whole thing was seen with her own eyes. At this moment, seeing that Huang Ji Yuan was reversing right and wrong, black and white, she stood up to defend herself.

  "Ling Yi elder, I've already said this is a matter of our Huang Ji Yuan, please don't interfere." The male disciple, with a stubborn expression, said: "Qin Yi, who has reached the level of Jie Mo, actually defeated Chen Shixiong, who was at the level of Ti Shen. It's clear that he practiced some sort of demonic technique. Once we hand him over to Xing Fa elder, Xing Fa elder will extract his soul and refine the demonic technique he cultivated, presenting it to the Academy as a contribution. If you intervene, you'll be going against the Academy."

  "This Huang Ji Yuan is really arrogant and domineering, a group of rustic chickens and dogs dare to be so presumptuous, with no one in their eyes." Qin Yi thought to himself, "However, I've heard that Huang Ji Yuan is just a student faction within the academy, I wonder what other factions there are."

  "Can't even get past the Academy?" Ling Yi hummed, scaring the young monk so much that his whole body shook. "What a big hat you're wearing, your Huang Ji Yuan is really getting more and more arrogant over the years, not putting people in their eyes at all."

  "Elder Ling Yi, it's better if you don't interfere with this matter. Otherwise, it won't be good for you or our Huang Ji Yuan." Hearing Elder Ling's tone, the young disciple seemed to back down, and immediately became arrogant again. The other disciples nearby also loudly echoed in agreement.

  "In the blink of an eye, a fierce flame burst forth, and his face was covered in frost: 'You few low-ranking disciples dare to defy the elder, truly lawless! If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll really think that student factions can stir up such a big commotion!'"

  Ling Yi's gaze suddenly stared at several disciples who were shouting the loudest.

  Boom!

  The male disciple who had just argued with Ling Yi, along with his companions, let out a chorus of miserable cries. In front of everyone, without any warning, in the blink of an eye, they transformed into human torches!

  On the Divine Thunder Platform, an instant of deathly silence, only to hear these few disciples' heart-wrenching cries, as well as the sound of flames scorching flesh and the explosive crackling sounds.

  "I'm taking him away today, no question." Ling Yi's tone left no room for negotiation. "If you have any objections, let Zhou Hang come to Wuji Peak himself!"

  With a flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind struck, and several people's bodies were engulfed in raging flames, which instantly went out.

  These several disciples, their clothes were burned to a crisp, their entire bodies as black as charcoal, with wisps of smoke curling up, emitting wave after wave of the foul stench of burnt flesh and skin. In many places, their skin was cracked open, revealing rows of white bones. The flames died out, and they immediately collapsed to the ground, dead or alive unknown.

  When others look at Ling Wei, they only think that this woman is overbearing and tyrannical. When looking at her, their hearts feel apprehensive.

  But Qin Yi was different.

  Just seeing this scene of Huo Shao's disciple being burned, made Qin Yi's blood boil with indignation.

  "What is dominance? This is dominance!" Qin Yi clenched his fist, "There is only one reason in the world, but when reason can't be explained, whoever has a bigger and harder fist, that's reason. Only power is everything. Any conspiracy or trickery is useless in the face of absolute power. Only power is eternal!"

  "Inferno Boundary, belonging to the third layer of the Inferno Soul Great Boundary, just condensing one's gaze can incinerate the enemy. The Inferno Soul Great Boundary is indeed a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than the Pre-Heavenly Boundary! I must also seize the time, awaken the Dragon, and reach the Inferno Soul Great Boundary as soon as possible. There are still four months left, it's this year's Earth-Shaking Ranking Competition. And my bet with Lei Tian, I will definitely not lose. I want to make him pay a bloody price for the Misty Sea Bay incident on the arena!"

  Just as Qin Yi's thoughts were racing, Ling Yi looked over at him and said, "Qin Yi, come with me."

  At this moment, Ling Yi wants to take Qin Yi away, and no one dares to stop them.

  After bidding farewell to Wu Peng and others, Qin Yi put the Thousand Crane Gourd on his back, followed Ling Yi and Luo Lu, stepped on the flower petals, left the Divine Thunder Platform, and flew towards the majestic mountains where the Academy was located.

  The remaining Huangjiyuan disciples in the crowd, dared to be angry but not dare to speak, could only watch as Qin Yi took away Qianhehulu, this coveted Daoist artifact that everyone dreamed of.

  Following Ling Yu and Luo Xiao, Qin Yi knew that they wouldn't be hostile towards him, so he didn't have much to worry about.

  About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the petals' flying speed gradually slowed down, and several people fell on a mountain waist where hundreds of flowers were in full bloom.

  It can make flowers of four seasons bloom in the same season and at the same time, and only Tian Sheng College's Qi Shan Miao Shui can present such a wonderful scene.

  Descending to the mountain waist, there was a small stream, and in front of a small pavilion, Qin Yi took the initiative to come forward and expressed his gratitude to Ling Yi: "Just thanked Sister Ling for helping to resolve the situation, otherwise today would have been unavoidable. A scene of contention."

  Ling Yi smiled and waved her hand towards Luo Xue, saying: "If you want to thank someone, thank my junior sister first."

  Qin Yi hastily bowed to Luo Hua, just about to thank her, when Luo Hua stretched out her hand to interrupt him. In a gentle voice, she said: "Brother Qin, last time at the Misty Bay, you saved my life. This time helping you is what I should do. The influence of Huang Ji Yuan in the Academy can be ranked among the top few. If it were just me alone, I wouldn't have been able to suppress them. Yesterday, I went to find Sister Shi and asked her to help repair the Qing Hong Treading Cloud Umbrella. Today, I only heard about your duel with Chen Hua Feng, so I immediately pulled Sister Shi along and rushed over. Fortunately, we made it in time."

  "Ah, Qin Yi, I think you're at the Jidian boundary, but your true energy is majestic and powerful. Did you have some kind of extraordinary encounter?" Ling Yi asked, looking at Qin Yi.

  It's enough to make Ling Yi, a genius himself, curious about Qin Yi's strength, which shows just how stunning Qin Yi's performance was today.

  "It's like this, Shifu. Before I came to Tian Sheng College, I was struck by lightning and fortunately didn't die. My Qi Hai and meridians were even broadened, so although I'm only at the Jie Mo boundary, I can condense true energy. My strength is also stronger than that of a typical Jie Mo boundary." Qin Yi pulled out his excuse that hadn't changed in ten thousand years.

  The Black Python's Breaking Void Strength and the Eight Extremes Great Method were too profound, possibly surpassing all divine abilities on the Wind Continent. To avoid trouble, Qin Yi decided to keep it a secret from everyone, lest he stir up unnecessary trouble.

  "It was like that." Ling Yi nodded and didn't ask any more questions. As a genius herself, she wouldn't be overly curious about another genius.

  "You've offended the Huangji Garden today and even took Zhou Hang's Qianhe Hulu away. I know Zhou Hang, he's a relatively kind person, but maybe because he's been in seclusion for some time, trying to break through the fifth layer of the Huashi boundary and condense the Golden Elixir, that's why he's been neglecting his subordinates. If people from Huangji Garden come looking for trouble again, you can find me on Wujifeng. Ling Yi said: "I and Luoluo are like sisters, you saved her life, I should thank you properly. By the way, I heard from Luoluo that you've been promoted to a low-ranking disciple, but haven't taken the test yet, right?"

  Qin Yi nodded.

  "The news of participating in the test should be announced within these two days. Once you know the content of the test, come to Wuji Peak and I'll pass on a few sets of spiritual techniques to you."

  In Tiān Shèng College, there were countless disciples who hoped to get the guidance of the genius Líng Yì, but Líng Yì usually didn't even bother to glance at them.

  Now, Ling Yi actually took the initiative to guide Qin Yi and pass on his divine art. If this were to get out, who knows how many disciples would be so envious they'd die!

  What's more, this means that Ling Yi and Qin Yi have a master-disciple relationship, with Ling Yi as the elder of the academy, Qin Yi has an additional formidable backer in the academy!
