Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

With its momentum fully unleashed, Lin Yaoxie made its move.

This sword strike truly lived up to its name, appearing suddenly from the heavens!

This is a move that Lin Yaoxie created after he comprehended the way of the sword, inspired by a celestial being descending from the heavens.

Sword energy, like a rainbow, soared straight into the night sky, and countless sword energies struck Nie Feng directly.

At this moment, Nie Feng also moved, but instead of launching a counterattack, he launched a move that was almost self-destructive.

"The ninth level of a pure and clear heart, a thousand miles of ice, sacrifice!"

In just a moment, a thin layer of ice appeared around Nie Feng's body. Although Lin Yaoxie's sword was not slow, it was still much slower than Nie Feng's attack. When Lin Yaoxie's sword struck Nie Feng, it felt like the sword was about to slip out of his hand.

It's easy to imagine that this is like hitting smooth, cold ice; all the force is cushioned by the slippage.

This wasn't the end of it. As the sword struck Nie Feng, Lin Yaoxie felt the chill seep through the sword and spread directly to him.

"Damn it, freeze yourself, don't drag me down with you."

It took a lot of effort to withdraw the longsword, and then he took off running. Of course he had to run, because if he had run any slower, he would have turned into an ice statue along with Nie Feng.

Click click click click!

No sooner had they emerged than the entire forbidden area's cave was sealed off by thick ice, as if the inside were a crystal palace.

Although he managed to escape, there were clearly ice crystals forming on Lin Yaoxie's eyelashes.

"That was too close!"

He was sighing and lamenting there, while the sky in the distance was already beginning to lighten. It was truly unexpected that after interacting with these two for so long, it was almost dawn. There was no need to worry about Nie Feng; he had frozen himself. But for Bu Jingyun, time was of the essence.

If he reattaches the Qilin arm any later, things will be very bad.

The search for the Qilin Arm is no longer about Yu Yue, but about someone else, since Yu Yue is dead and Chu Chu will not meet Bu Jingyun, which is impossible. Therefore, we need to find someone related to the legend of the Fire Qilin.

Fire Qilin, Fire Qilin, tell me, who did you injure back then?

Although he asked this question, the Fire Qilin was not human after all, and he couldn't understand human language at all.

I'm at my wit's end.

However, no matter how difficult it is, we cannot allow Bu Jingyun to regain his arm. Since Nie Feng said earlier that the power of their Nie family's Ice Heart Technique can prevent certain things from happening, we must get ahead of Bu Jingyun and prevent such things from occurring.

Nie Feng has no choice but to freeze himself, and the injured Bu Jingyun can't cause much trouble either.

Just then, the fire qilin cried out. It was the first time I had ever heard a qilin cry like that. It sounded somewhat like a deer's cry, but the voice was also mournful.

What's wrong with you?

The fire qilin just kept wailing, and at that moment, Lin Yaoxie's stomach inexplicably growled twice.

As he felt hungry and looked into the Fire Qilin's eyes, Lin Yaoxie understood. He gently stroked its head and said, "Are you hungry?"

The fire unicorn nodded.

Although Lin Yaoxie understood that it was hungry and that's why it was making those noises, what does it usually eat?

After thinking it over, Lin Yaoxie said, "I don't know what you eat. Why don't you lead the way to the place you used to frequent?"

The fire-breathing qilin led the way, leading him to a ferry crossing.

After the fire qilin made some movements, Lin Yaoxie realized that it wanted him to cross the river; the food he was looking for was on the other side?

Chapter 241: Dugu Meng

Faced with the great river blocking his path, Lin Yaoxie was filled with rage. The ability to cross water on a floating platform was merely a legend; even if he possessed such skill, while he himself could cross without issue, what about the Fire Qilin?

Water and fire have been incompatible since ancient times, which clearly means that Lin Yaoxie can only look on with envy.

"Boatman! Boatman!"

Lin Yaoxie tore open the door and shouted, but no one answered even when he shouted himself hoarse.

"Damn it, are you all dead? You won't even do business with us?"

Lin Yaoxie was truly at a loss, besides these thoughts. How could this be? There's no such thing as a Fire Qilin crossing a river in the world of Fengyun. Damn Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, you just wait.

If nothing unexpected happens, the mission has now undergone new changes.

Sure enough, there were two dinging sounds.

"New mission! Enter a brand new mode and start sequential side quests."

Next, side quest prompts will appear. The first questline involves carrying the Fire Qilin across the river to investigate the truth. The second questline involves recruiting Fengyun to serve you. The third questline will only unlock after triggering an event.

What attracted him was the reward: reward one, the Northern Drinking Longsword; reward two, the Southern Scale Sword.

The appearance of these two mission rewards on the list made Lin Yaoxie's eyes light up. At the same time, he thought of something important. These two treasures were both on the list. What did the Fire Qilin devour back then? Could it have been these two divine weapons that everyone wanted?

According to the task prompts, to find the cause, we must find a way to get the Fire Kirin across the river.

We must cross the river!

There was still no one around. They had accepted the mission but had no means of crossing the river. It seemed that this mission was no ordinary one.

There's no way around it; water and fire are incompatible, so it's simply impossible for the Fire Qilin to wade through water.

That's strange, where did everyone go?

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure out why there wasn't a single person in sight today, which seemed rather unusual, a figure suddenly appeared ahead, rowing a small boat. As the boat drew closer, Lin Yaoxie recognized the person clearly—wasn't it Mud Bodhisattva?

"Lord Lin, please don't be in a hurry. I know you need to cross the river, so I came here specifically for you."

"Did the clay Buddha know I wanted to cross the river?"

"Hehe, although I am a clay Buddha, I am still a Buddha in the eyes of the world. Nothing can escape my eyes. Everything is preordained."

Although he was annoyed, he was the only one who had come in his small boat, so he was still useful. Otherwise, he wouldn't bother with this self-righteous madman.

After boarding the boat, Lin Yaoxie was about to say something, but Mud Bodhisattva's mouth never stopped revealing secrets, which made him uncomfortable. He kept talking while holding the oars with both hands, saying, "City Lord Lin, do you know why there is no one around here today?"

Although he was annoyed by Mud Bodhisattva's constant rambling, this was actually the reason Lin Yaoxie wanted to know.

He chuckled helplessly and said, "Please speak."

Even addressing him respectfully as "senior" was, in Lin Yaoxie's eyes, an honor. He'd kill him sooner or later; constantly spouting heavenly secrets in front of others only breeds hatred.

"Hmph, don't blame me for burning bridges after I've crossed the river; I'm afraid you're really in a predicament now."

The world no longer needs the so-called prophecies of clay bodhisattvas. Such people will suffer at any time anyway. They reveal heavenly secrets for no reason and are punished by heaven from time to time. Killing you is also to let you go to the Pure Land sooner and not stay in the world to suffer.

Lin Yaoxie always sees the essence of a problem.

The so-called clay bodhisattva is no different from a charlatan. No matter how much they calculate, have they ever accurately predicted their own life? Yet they still have the nerve to predict the fortunes of others. Can you predict that I have the intention to kill you?

While smiling and asking him to explain, a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were as still as water, as if her gaze had merged with the surface of the river.

While ferrying people across the river, Mud Bodhisattva replied, "The reason is simple. I think if it were someone else, putting aside Lord Lin's reputation, wouldn't they avoid him if they saw someone leading a fire qilin out?"

"Oh!"

Lin Yaoxie simply gave a soft "oh," without expressing any opinion. His expression remained unchanged, appearing completely calm, as if it were the natural course of things.

This was just a facade he was giving to Mud Bodhisattva. He must not let Mud Bodhisattva see through his true intentions. He must not believe that Mud Bodhisattva's pronouncements are absolute truths. Only ordinary people think that way. Lin Yaoxie would never think that way.

The boat slowly sailed and soon reached the shore.

At this moment, Mud Bodhisattva smiled slightly and said, "City Lord Lin, how about we make a deal?"

"A deal?" Lin Yaoxie glanced at him sideways.

He was startled. Could it be that he had seen through his thoughts? Moreover, the fact that Mud Bodhisattva proposed to make a deal with someone was quite strange.

The clay bodhisattva said, "I have never been wrong in judging people in my life, but this time I may have really misjudged them. It seems that my prediction will have to be reassessed!"

"Change masters? What do you mean by that, Mud Bodhisattva?" Lin Yaoxie retorted.

"Of course, it's a matter of great importance. I believe that with my participation, we can definitely fulfill Lord Lin's ambitions. Lord Lin won't be satisfied with just the small Wushuang City, will he?"

"Okay, let's cooperate then."

This person is useful to me for now, so I'll let you live a couple more days. So you know that if you don't rely on a powerful figure, you'll be like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river.

Since he took Chu Chu in, things have completely changed. Although they are still in the world of Fengyun, the direction has completely changed. So Lin Yaoxie doesn't care how Mud Bodhisattva got here. He's just using him anyway.

After crossing the river, Mud Bodhisattva said he would still appear there when needed, and the two parted ways.

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, "Fire Qilin, oh Fire Qilin, if only there were a way to keep you by my side without letting anyone find out, that would be perfect." After all, the Fire Qilin was too ferocious. What Mud Bodhisattva said earlier was right; if he led it out, everyone would be afraid, and the rest of the journey would be impossible.

Wait a minute, now that you've eaten, let's think of a solution.

Lin Yaoxie had no idea what kind of food the Fire Qilin liked to eat, but there was one reward among the mission rewards: high-grade pet food. The name sounded good, but he didn't know how effective it was.

The fire-breathing qilin walked ahead, and Lin Yaoxie moved as if he were in an empty field. Soon, a dense forest appeared ahead.

Chapter 242: You should use your indestructible golden body!

P.S.: Something came up at home recently, so updates and quality have been much worse. I assure you, things will be back to normal in the next few days. I hope you can understand.

"Oh no, that monster is coming again!"

Lin Yaoxie had just appeared with the Fire Qilin. Originally, there was no one to disturb them, and Lin Yaoxie planned to let it find some food on its own and then take it away. But now he suddenly heard someone shouting, which made him suspicious.

Because of those damned Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, everything is now uncertain. Even the existence of this unnamed river outside Wushuang City is almost a blank in Lin Yaoxie's memory.

Hearing the chaotic commotion ahead, Lin Yaoxie seemed to understand something.

So this is the secret behind why the Fire Qilin was sealed in the world of Fengyun. Is it about to be revealed to me now?

Could what happened back then be related to the subsequent mission, or the sudden appearance of a swordsman and a general?

Slay gods and Buddhas alike!

Clearly, those people have now set up the formation after all their hard work.

The fire qilin, as if encountering something terrifying, roared and howled.

Are you his master?

Someone spotted Lin Yaoxie and questioned him there.

"What do you think? I just brought my pet here to find some food. There's no need to be so unfriendly."

While speaking, he gently soothed the fire qilin, signaling it to be quiet for a while.
