"warn!"

"warn!"

In a secretive official organization five stories underground in Qingzhou, a sudden, urgent alarm went off, throwing them into a frantic frenzy.

"Report!"

"Strong spiritual energy fluctuations detected, exceeding the detection threshold, suggesting, as before, the emergence of an ancient artifact!"

"Locate the location immediately!"

"yes!"

The one giving the orders was a young woman, slender and upright, with narrow and clear eyes and a fair complexion, showing no trace of worldliness.

Something's not right!

"The source of the spiritual energy fluctuations cannot be determined!" the monitoring personnel exclaimed in alarm.

Ye Li frowned deeply: "Why is this happening?"

"Because...because...because it's not just one place, nor just one mountain, but the entire Qingcheng, the spiritual energy within a hundred miles is boiling!"

The monitoring staff had never seen or heard of such a sight before, and were so shocked that they stammered.

Ye Li's heart sank instantly.

The world has just begun to recover, yet it can cause such a large-scale fluctuation of spiritual energy... What level is this?

Even the reincarnated Wu Minghuang couldn't achieve this level.

To take a recent example, the upcoming immortal sword is only just exceeding the threshold of the instrument.

"Keep a close watch on this. I'll report to Ling Xiao right now."

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Ye Li's expression became more solemn than ever before, and she immediately planned to use any means to contact her superiors.

"Wait... Team Leader!"

"The spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly disappeared!"

"Not even a trace of the essence of heaven and earth remained, as if it had never happened!"

The monitoring personnel looked like they had seen a ghost and exclaimed in surprise.

The flashing red lights and urgent alarms suddenly fell silent, and the entire underground area was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Why did this happen...?

Ye Li's brows furrowed deeply as she fell into deep thought.

Wherever there is a fluctuation of spiritual energy, there will be residual traces of the aura of heaven and earth.

It's like the footprints left by a person walking in the snow; they can't be erased in a short time.

Moreover.

Not a single drop of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was absorbed.

Was all that trouble to trigger it just a joke?

"Sister Li, could it be that the people at Lingtai Academy are being lazy, and the upgraded detector is unstable, causing false alarms?"

Nearby, a sixteen-year-old girl was playing a game on her phone and replied in a spare moment.

"That's entirely possible!"

"Such a large-scale fluctuation of spiritual energy is simply impossible to occur in the world today."

The monitoring personnel slapped their foreheads and realized that this was the reason; otherwise, how could it have disappeared so quickly?

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Li's solemn expression gradually eased.

After that spirit sword appeared, the detection equipment was insufficient. The people of the Spirit Platform Academy had just upgraded the equipment, so the false alarm was probably caused by instability.

However, we cannot let our guard down. We will find some time later to confirm with the people at Lingtai Academy.

"Lin Xiaoman, put down your phone immediately and come with me on a mission." Ye Li suddenly said in a deep voice after glancing at the time.

"No, Sister Li! I've finally grown up, and I'm about to go on a killing spree!"

Lin Xiaoman shook her head, her two ponytails swaying, clearly unwilling.

Ye Li didn't indulge her and coldly said:

"You are a reincarnated individual enjoying Class A treatment. If you refuse to carry out the assigned tasks, [Lingxiao] has the right to stop providing you with all resources."

"Ah... Sister Li, I was just kidding! Please don't stop my resources, I still need to save money to buy pretty skins..."

Lin Xiaoman was so frightened that she immediately put down her phone, her bright eyes filled with a desire for resources.

Money is a minor matter.

The current spiritual energy recovery is insufficient, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin.

If you rely solely on your own relentless cultivation, you'll never catch up with those monsters in your entire life.

"Let's set off now, you can ride in my car," Ye Li said quickly, holding the intelligence she had just received.

"Damn it, what the hell is making noise in the middle of the night, preventing me from even playing games!"

Lin Xiaoman got into the car with a fierce expression, her resentment running high.

Ye Li said coldly, "It's not some ghost or monster. It's a cultivator who overstepped the boundaries and tried to attack ordinary people."

I've only just been transferred to Qingcheng, and some cultivators are already breaking the rules. They're not taking me seriously!

……

It was late at night.

Two dark figures strolled leisurely, moving from one end of the street to the other, emerging from the darkness, their eyes fixed on the low courtyard not far away.

"Just because they're mortals, does it really make us go through all this trouble?"

The enormous man, as fat as a small mountain, spoke with a displeased expression, his face so contorted in his fat that it was impossible to discern his features.

"There's nothing we can do. This is the modern world, and there's Lingxiao messing around with the rules. The temple can't afford to break ties."

Another man, as thin as a bamboo pole with protruding bones, spoke words of advice.

One was tall and the other short, one was thin and the other fat, and they both had shaved their heads and dressed as monks.

"Then get it done as soon as possible, don't delay any longer," the fat monk said expressionlessly.

"That's right."

The thin monk nodded.

"The meaning behind this temple visit is quite simple."

"Make that woman sign the agreement honestly, and the matter of the blessed land will be settled. If Ling Xiao investigates later, we'll have an excuse to cover it up."

"I heard that in this run-down Taoist temple, there's a cripple lying in bed?"

The fat monk muttered to himself, "The land deed lists his name as the owner. What's going on?"

The skinny monk sneered, "Master has ordered that even if someone dies, their name must be written on the agreement!"

Upon hearing this, the fat monk's face flashed with excitement. With his master's approval, things would be much easier.

Looking at the closed gate, the thin monk coldly said, "I'm too lazy to go and lecture you anymore. I'll just use the Seven Emotions Bewitching Array to surround this dilapidated courtyard!"

"good!"

The fat monk rubbed his hands together, eager to try, and agreed without even thinking.

Even if a mortal's soul is weak and unable to withstand the bewitching power of the seven emotions, so what? It's none of his business if he becomes an idiot afterward!

As an ant, one should have self-awareness.

The moment the Taoist temple caught their eye, these mortals not only did not offer it up voluntarily, but they even dared to resist fiercely!

A blessed land is for the virtuous and the capable!

These mortals are already blessed to live in this blessed land for more than ten years, which is a blessing earned through several lifetimes of good deeds. Yet they still want to occupy it forever and refuse to leave. They are too greedy!

And this moment.

Chen Xuan noticed the two monks the moment they approached.

"Interesting. It seems that my spiritual energy has recovered while I was unconscious."

At the moment he broke through the barrier, Chen Xuan was able to communicate with heaven and earth and perceive the changes in them.

"It's just a pity."

"These two monks will never see the sun rise tomorrow."

Chen Xuan's gaze became unusually indifferent.

There was no overwhelming murderous intent, nor a chilling aura; there was only a detached view of heaven and earth, regarding everything as mere mayflies.
