The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands

"Who goes there?!"

Li Tianjue was both shocked and furious.

Lin Yi completely ignored him.

He stared at Li Tianjue, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Practicing evil arts? Perfect, my thunder magic is the perfect counter to heretical practices."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi raised his hand and pressed down.

"Thunder shakes the heavens, suppress!"

Rumble!

An even more violent purple lightning bolt exploded out!

This time, the Thunder did not spread out.

Instead, it transformed into a devastating area of ​​thunderstorms.

They swallowed Li Tianjue and dozens of Xuanming Sect elders and core disciples around him!

"No!! What kind of lightning is this?!"

Li Tianjue was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and he desperately activated his magic weapon to defend himself.

But in the face of heavenly lightning, all evil tricks are as fragile as paper, melting away instantly.

Demonic arts, ghosts, and magical treasures were all burned to smoke in the lightning.

A thunderous sweep swept through, leaving nothing behind.

When the lightning dissipated, only a charred black spot remained.

Li Tianjue and his trusted disciples were reduced to ashes.

The other Xuanming Sect disciples were terrified and collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Wei Shanshan stood there, sword in hand, staring blankly at everything.

She was trapped in a desperate situation just a moment ago, and the next second her enemy was casually wiped out?

She stared wide-eyed, speechless for a long time.

Lin Yi withdrew the lightning and walked up to Wei Shanshan: "This isn't how you take revenge. Next time, plan ahead and leave yourself a way out."

After saying that, he flicked his finger and made a slash in the air behind him.

puff!puff!puff!

Those Xuanming Sect remnants who were paralyzed on the ground all had a line of blood appear on their necks at the same time, and they all fell to the ground, lifeless.

After doing all this, Lin Yi remained calm and nodded to Wei Shanshan.

Wei Shanshan then came to her senses and quickly bowed, saying, "Junior Wei Shanshan thanks you for saving my life, senior! Thank you for avenging my blood feud!"

She looked up and felt that the person looked familiar, but she was sure she had never seen him before.

That aura of thunder, that rugged appearance... I must have felt it somewhere before.

Lin Yi waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Please wait a moment, senior!"

Wei Shanshan suddenly spoke up, a bold conjecture popping into her mind.

She tentatively asked, "Senior, the lightning technique you just used... I sensed a similar aura back in Qingyang City."

"May I ask... what is your relationship with Young Master Lin Yi?"

Lin Yi paused in his steps.

This woman's intuition is just too accurate!

Forget it.

Now that we've been found out, there's no need to hide it anymore.

He coughed lightly, his bones cracked and popped, and his body shifted rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the young man in black who had left a deep impression on Wei Shanshan stood in front of her with a smile on his face.

"Prefect Wei, what a coincidence," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Wei Shanshan's eyes widened, she took a deep breath, and bowed solemnly again: "Shanshan thanks Young Master Lin for saving us."

"I will remember this kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, I will do my best."

"It was nothing, don't worry about it."

Just as Lin Yi was about to say something more, his brows suddenly furrowed.

wrong!

There is still a faint fluctuation of divine soul deep in this valley!

"Oh, so some are hiding?"

His eyes turned cold, and his divine sense immediately spread out.

Soon, Lin Yi located a cave entrance at the bottom of the valley, half-hidden by rocks.

When divine sense probed inside, a weak figure was huddled up inside.

"How could it be him?!"

Lin Yi's pupils suddenly contracted!

Shouldn't this old guy be at the Soul-Slaying Sect?

How could they be hiding in the Xuanming Sect's lair?

For an instant.

Everything connected.

Back in the Spirit Extinction Sect, he gave this guy two spirit stones...

Later, the Xuanming Sect inexplicably started targeting him...

"So it was you, you old codger, pulling the strings behind the scenes!"

A surge of murderous intent flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.

There was no need for interrogation at all; he simply pointed his finger, and a beam of light shot out.

A pitiful scream came from inside the cave, and then there was complete silence.

Qingming Zhenren, die!

Even after eliminating this hidden danger, Lin Yi felt no relief; instead, his heart sank.

Even Master Qingming has defected, so wouldn't Qin Hongmei and Shu Yan in the Jueling Sect be in danger?

A sense of unease welled up inside me.

"Young Master Lin?"

Wei Shanshan sensed the change in Lin Yi's aura.

Lin Yi snapped out of his reverie: "Prefect Wei, I have urgent business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After he finished speaking, his body floated into the air.

"Young master, please wait a moment!"

Wei Shanshan caught up with him: "Is Young Master worried about his friend? I know a bit about the current situation in the Women's Kingdom, and perhaps I can be of help."

Lin Yi slowed down and turned to look at her.

Wei Shanshan spoke faster: "To be honest, young master, the situation in the Women's Kingdom is very bad right now."

"During the Empress's seclusion, several prefects and border generals in the court have been won over and bribed by various forces, and the court is on the verge of falling apart."

Lin Yi frowned.

Wei Shanshan continued, "Now, due to the revival of spiritual energy and the sealing of the Demon Abyss, the Land of Severed Spirits has initially formed five major forces."

"Oh? Which five?" Lin Yi became interested.

"The first one is the Empress's Kingdom of Women, which has the deepest foundation, but is internally unstable."

"The second one is the Six Paths Immortal Alliance, led by immortal sects such as the Heavenly Thunder Sect and the Myriad Flower Valley. They are very powerful."

"The third is the elusive Black Demon Palace, the leader of the evil sects, and the Xuanming Sect is their vassal."

"The fourth is the newly rising Great Yan Dynasty in the northwest, which has a strong army and great ambitions."

"The fifth one..."

Wei Shanshan lowered her voice, "It's the Ten Thousand Demon Cave deep in the Endless Swamp. I heard it's supported by the bloodline of an ancient demon race, so its strength shouldn't be underestimated."

Lin Yi's eyes flickered.

Before the spiritual energy was restored, there was only the Women's Kingdom to support it, but now so many forces have suddenly emerged.

Needless to say, he was definitely on his wife Rong Qianqin's side.

"The four major human powers have reached an agreement to hold a grand competition in the Heavenly Fracture Mountains three months from now!"

"Each family will send their most talented young disciples to participate in the competition, and the results will determine the ownership of resources and territory for the next hundred years!"

Wei Shanshan's expression turned serious: "Shanshan is the governor of the Women's Kingdom, and she will never surrender, even if it kills her."

"Young master, you possess extraordinary abilities. If you were to step forward, you could not only share His Majesty's burdens but also save countless people who remain loyal to the Kingdom of Women."

"This grand competition might just be the best opportunity to restore the glory of the Women's Kingdom!"

Lin Yi listened and remained silent for a while.

A fierce competition?

Re-divide the territory?

interesting.

No matter where they are, humans are not immune to infighting.

However, it's easier to catch fish when the water is murky.

He glanced at Wei Shanshan, who was looking very serious, and nodded: "Thank you for letting me know! This information is very useful to me."

After saying that, he transformed into a streak of light and sped off towards the direction of the Spirit-Slaying Sect.

The most important thing right now is to confirm the safety of Qin Hongmei and Shu Yan.

And then... this fierce competition.

Lin Yi, no matter what, had to go and give it a try!

After leaving Black Cloud Abyss, Lin Yi returned to the edge of Endless Swamp.

The black water churned, and mist swirled around it.

It was about the same as when he first came, except that the spiritual energy was hundreds of times denser than before.

He scanned the area with his divine sense, trying to find any spatial rifts.

I found nothing.

The Boundary-Breaking Bead didn't react either.

"It seems that crack is truly gone..."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He remembered the little black snake.

"Little Black, you should be with the Demon Cave now, right? It'll probably take a lot of effort to take you with me later."

He smiled and shook his head, not thinking about it anymore.

The most important thing right now is to go to the Soul-Severing Gate.

A streak of light flashed across the sky!

Before long, the familiar mountain gate came into view.

But as soon as he got close, Lin Yi frowned.

Not quite right.

The light from the protective array was dim, and there wasn't even a guard at the mountain gate.

The air was filled with a sense of oppression and decay, even mixed with a hint of hostility.

The disciples coming and going were all in a hurry, their faces devoid of smiles, only showing vigilance and numbness.

This is completely different from the Jue Ling Men I remember.

"Halt! Who are you? How dare you trespass on our Spirit-Slaying Gate!"

A clear, sweet shout rang out.

A girl in a pale yellow dress stood blocking the road with a sword in her hand, her eyes full of wariness.

Lin Yi scanned the entire sect with his divine sense, and his heart skipped a beat.

He couldn't sense Qin Hongmei and Shu Yan's presence.

"I am Lin Yi, and I have come specifically to pay a visit to Sect Leader Fu. Please inform him of my presence, young lady."

The girl paused for a moment, then looked him up and down a few times.

The wariness in his eyes lessened, but a hint of complexity and panic emerged.

"You... are you Lin Yi? Come with me."

It turns out she's Sect Leader Fu's daughter.

Lin Yi followed behind her: "How did Sect Leader Fu get injured?"

The girl paused, lowered her head, and whispered, "When you see my father, you will naturally know."

She led Lin Yi to a courtyard in front of the back mountain, then hurriedly turned and left.

Lin Yi pushed open the door and went in.

The courtyard smelled of medicine, and a pale-faced middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged, meditating.

It was Fu Qingyun, the sect leader of the Jueling Sect.

He saw Lin Yi and struggled to remember.

Lin Yi quickly stepped forward to support him.

Fu Qingyun smiled bitterly: "I am ashamed... The Empress entrusted the Jueling Sect to me, but I have failed her trust and have been useless."

"Sect Leader Fu, what exactly happened? Where are Hongmei and Shuyan?"

Fu Qingyun's face showed even deeper guilt: "After the spiritual energy recovered, a group of rogue cultivators came and insisted on joining us."

"The leader is called Zhou Bao, who is in the late stage of the Golden Core realm and is extremely ruthless."

"They sidelined the elders, won over the disciples, and took control of the sect."

His eyes blazed with anger: "Zhou Bao took a liking to Fairy Qin and Fairy Shu's looks and made suggestive remarks several times. The two fairies could only hide in the secret realm to cultivate, and I was only able to barely maintain myself..."

Lin Yi's eyes turned cold: "I scanned the entire sect with my divine sense, but I couldn't find them. Where are they?"

Fu Qingyun's expression suddenly changed: "What? These past few days, Zhou Bao has been using the excuse of reinforcing the seal to send many disciples to the outer perimeter of the Demon Abyss... Could he really dare to do that?!"

He gasped for breath, "Zhou Bao must have sent those two fairies to the outskirts of the Demon Abyss! The formation there is unstable, and demonic energy is leaking out; it's extremely dangerous!"

"The Abyss of Demons? Zhou Bao?"

Lin Yi suddenly stood up, his voice frighteningly calm: "Fine, very good."

He flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle, handing it to Fu Qingyun: "This medicine will be useful for your injury. I have some personal matters to attend to first."

Before Fu Qingyun could react, Lin Yi had already disappeared.

Fu Qingyun held the jade bottle, his heart trembling.

Zhou Bao, who seized control of the sect, is probably in for a lot of trouble.

Lin Yi transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for the outer perimeter of the Demon Abyss Seal!

As soon as you get close, chaotic demonic energy rushes towards you.

Lin Yi's divine sense was like a large net, instantly locking onto two familiar auras.

Qin Hongmei! Shu Yan!

They were right next to the sealing formation in front of them, their breathing was unstable, and their spiritual energy was greatly depleted; they were clearly injured!

A horse-faced man with a face full of scars was leading a group of disciples who surrounded them.

It was Zhou Bao.

He rubbed his hands together, his triangular eyes scanning back and forth between the two women's faces, and chuckled wickedly: "Qin Hongmei, Shu Yan, this elder's patience is limited."

"This Demon Abyss seal requires female cultivators to perform the ritual. As disciples of the Absolute Spirit Sect, you are offering yourselves for the sake of all living beings—that is an immense honor!"

He licked his lips: "Of course, if you obediently submit to this elder and become my personal furnace cauldrons... then you'll naturally be one of us. As for any kind of sacrificial array, this elder will waive it with a single word."

The surrounding disciples immediately chimed in, "Elder Zhou is right! Following the elder means a life of luxury!"

"Exactly! Sacrificing to the array means death, but following the elder means enjoying good fortune. Is there even a need to choose?"

"Two fairies, stop arguing and just give in! Hahaha!"
