Chapter 659 Yin Li's Questioning: The True and False Strongholds

rustling...

The moment Luo Cheng followed Yin Li up the hillside, the surrounding temperature suddenly began to drop sharply.

The moisture in the air condensed into snowflakes that drifted down slowly, while outside the hillside, the sun shone brightly, creating a stark contrast that resembled two different worlds.

Luo Cheng knew that this was Yin Li's Heavenly Cold Intent, which could both prevent the sound from being leaked out and isolate the soul power from detection.

This made Luo Cheng feel a little nervous, and he remained silent.

Upon reaching the top of the slope, Yin Li stopped. Her white dress trailed on the ground, her figure graceful and elegant. She spoke slowly:
"You did keep your promise."

"what?"

This sudden praise surprised Luo Cheng slightly.

Yin Li turned to look at Luo Cheng. Her stunningly beautiful face, though seemingly solemn, possessed a unique charm. She said softly:

"There haven't been any rumors lately, so it seems you haven't been gossiping about us."

Luo Cheng quickly replied, "How dare I? I've said it before, this matter is known only to Heaven, Earth, you, and me, and there will never be a third person who knows about it."

"I hope so. If I hear anything, you know the consequences."

Yin Li’s voice was calm, but the wind and snow around them suddenly became fierce, as if they were about to freeze.

Luo Cheng felt a chill run through him, as if he were standing naked in the freezing cold.

Luo Cheng immediately activated his sword intent, which swept across his entire body, annihilating all mental illusions. The oppressive chill also receded like a tide.

"Oh? In such a short time, your sword intent has improved so much, it's almost reached the perfect stage of the nascent form of sword intent..."

Yin Li stared at Luo Cheng, slightly surprised.

Luo Cheng didn't want to discuss this topic further, so he immediately asked, "What does Senior Sister want to say to me?"

Yin Li paused, stared into Luo Cheng's eyes, and emphasized, "How did you discover that there was an Extreme Yin Blood Refining Array set up there?"

The sound wasn't very loud, but when it reached Luo Cheng's ears, it struck his heart like a heavy hammer.

Luo Cheng's sea of ​​consciousness surged with golden waves, but his mind immediately calmed down, and he shook his head:

"I didn't know there was an Extreme Yin Blood Refining Array there. I just accidentally discovered that the blood essence of the dead corpses was draining at an abnormal rate, all flowing into the mountain peaks..."

"Oh? An unexpected discovery?"

Yin Li raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I have already grasped a trace of the true meaning. You were able to remain unfazed in the face of my suppressive aura. Let alone a Qi Awakening Realm expert, even an ordinary Earth-level expert would find it difficult to do so. Is this an accident?"

Yin Li's words just now carried a hint of mental pressure, but Luo Cheng was able to immediately recover as usual, which confirmed some of her guesses.

Luo Cheng was at a loss for words.

Yin Li's eyes flickered, and he slowly said again, "You don't need to hide it from me. The fact that you were able to pass the seventh level of the Seven-Colored Spring already proves a lot. I was just verifying it. I'm asking you, what grade is your soul power?"

Luo Cheng pondered for a moment, knowing he couldn't deceive the other party.

Moreover, he also had leverage over the other party, so he immediately said:
"I haven't tested my soul power yet, so I don't know its specific grade. However, I estimate that my soul power is not much weaker than that of an ordinary True Person."

Luo Cheng's soul power was already comparable to that of a Heavenly-level expert.

During this time, he absorbed so much martial spirit essence and used the Sword King's will to temper his sword intent, which also strengthened his soul power. Under the influence of these various factors, his soul power must have surged. Even if he didn't reach the True Person level, he wouldn't be far off. "Comparable to the True Person level?"

Even though Yin Li was somewhat prepared, she was still taken aback.

Throughout history, geniuses in soul power have been extremely rare, even rarer than geniuses in swordsmanship. These individuals often become extraordinary figures.

With only the cultivation level of the Awakening Meridian Realm, he possesses a soul power intensity comparable to that of a True Person. Such a soul power talent is extremely rare, even in the entire Yunlan Domain or the entire Eastern Continent.

However, the other soul power geniuses all awakened high-level martial souls, or even super martial souls that surpassed ten stars!
Yin Li had never heard of someone like Luo Cheng, whose soul power was outstanding but who had awakened a useless martial soul. Whether he could be considered a soul power genius or not could only be determined through future testing.

After a moment's thought, Yin Li said, "Your current cultivation level is too low, and you have made too many enemies. Not to mention your Xuan Yuan Sect's Crown Prince Hall, after this great battle, the Lie Yun Sect will also see you as a thorn in their side. It's just that they haven't taken you seriously because you awakened a useless martial soul."

"If people find out that your soul power talent is so monstrous, the Lieyun Sect will definitely not just watch you grow. So, you'd better not reveal too much, or you'll only bring trouble upon yourself, which will be more of a disaster than a blessing."

"Unless you one day break through the Four Extremes Secret Realm and become a powerful expert."

"Thank you very much, Senior Sister Yin Li. Luo Cheng will remember this."

Having witnessed the strength of Yin Li, Hong Jun, and others, Luo Cheng knew that even though his strength was already unmatched among the inner disciples of the three sects, he was still far inferior to the powerful experts!

Yin Li thought for a moment, then continued, "Also, you must not publicize your discovery of the Extreme Yin Blood Refining Array. I will give instructions to Yu Lanxin."

"This attack on the Blood Nether Sect's stronghold caused considerable losses to the major sects due to the Extreme Yin Blood Refining Array. If you are investigated, you will only get into trouble. Some responsibilities are not something a mere Awakening Meridian Realm expert like you can bear."

Luo Cheng nodded: "Okay."

Yin Li slowly said, "In the end, the strong are respected, and strength is the foundation. When you are weak, others will bully and humiliate you. When you are strong enough to be admired, others will only respect and fear you. You must have experienced this along the way."

Luo Cheng remained silent.

Since awakening his useless martial soul, probably no one knows the feeling better than him.

Realizing Yin Li's attitude towards him, Luo Cheng hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"By the way, Senior Sister, were there any True Person level experts among those who attacked the Blood Nether Sect's stronghold this time?"

"No."

Yin Li shook his head: "The Blood Nether Sect's forces are currently located south of the Cloud Ripple Domain. Although they can utilize resources to cultivate a large number of Awakening Meridian Realm experts, and even Great Power Realm experts, True Person Realm experts cannot be cultivated simply by using resources. It's normal that we don't have True Person Realm experts here."

Luo Cheng said, "Actually, not long ago, I met two True Person level experts from the Blood Nether Sect in our Great Yue Dynasty."

Since Yin Li meant him no harm, Luo Cheng revealed what he knew.

Conversely, if Yin Li hadn't said those words, Luo Cheng wouldn't have said much either, lest he bring trouble upon himself with his words.

"You've met a True Person level expert from the Blood Nether Cult!"

Yin Li's usually calm and bright face showed a rare expression of shock, and her misty eyes were fixed on Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng nodded: "Yes, one is named Tu Wanshan, and the other is named Blood Raven Master! They were discovered by chance in the Black Cloud Mountains."

"Blood Raven Master! Blood Raven Master! I've heard of him. He was one of the top masters of the Blood Nether Sect. When the Blood Nether Sect was destroyed, he disappeared without a trace. Everyone thought he was dead, but he actually appeared in our Great Yue Dynasty..."

Yin Li was deeply attracted by this news, and his face showed deep thought. "They are in the Great Yue Dynasty. This time, the Blood Nether Sect's stronghold was destroyed, but they did not show up or leave any trace. The entire stronghold was also set up with the Extreme Yin Blood Refining Array, using the essence of this great battle to feed the Blood Demon... There are quite a few suspicious points here."

Luo Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Senior Sister, I have a guess. This stronghold might not actually be a Blood Nether Sect stronghold!"
