Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

On the Evil Spirit, Lin Yaoxie, who landed next to Zhao Ling'er, said to her, "This is a ship named after us, isn't it interesting? If..."

Zhao Ling'er looked at Lin Yaoxie, who was making jokes and bluffing. She knew that unless she made it clear that she wanted to hear the serious matter, this man would never speak. So Zhao Ling'er said, "Just say what you need to say. I don't have time to chat with you about this kind of thing."

Lin Yaoxie listened and looked at Zhao Ling'er with disdain. Zhao Ling'er simply met his gaze with a silent and resolute look.

Knowing he had no other choice, Lin Yaoxie summoned a boatman and asked him to find Anu and Tang Niu Xiaobao, telling them he had something to tell them.

The two watched in silence as the boat drifted further and further away from the shore, heading towards the other side of the river. However, in a short time, the other boats had fallen far behind the two, and their drumming could only be heard from afar. The Evil Spirit and the Lin family's boat gradually widened the gap between them.

Anu, who was engrossed in directing and coordinating, initially wanted to refuse, as she was racking her brains to figure out how to catch up with Lin Yueru's ship. However, seeing the serious expression on Tang Niu Xiaobao's face and the unspoken pressure he was putting on her, she had no choice but to reluctantly go with him to find Lin Yaoxie.

Seeing the two hurriedly approaching, Lin Yaoxie didn't give them any time to rest. He immediately told them about the problems he had thought of at the inn, without mentioning anything about what happened last night or anything related to himself.

Although Zhao Ling'er and Tang Niu Xiaobao's expressions remained unchanged throughout, and they listened in silence, Anu's expressions kept changing. At one moment she said, "Is it my fault?" and at another she said, "Impossible!" Lin Yaoxie found it very amusing and kept suppressing his laughter as he finished stating all his speculations.

Just then, a faint mist seemed to rise from the water's surface, but the four of them didn't pay much attention to it and continued their discussion.

"Impossible! The Lord of the Moon Worship Sect attacked us in front of everyone! And why would he attack that Lin Yueru?" Anu asked, looking incredulous.

"It's to conceal our purpose. As long as everyone sees this accident, no matter how suspicious the outcome may be, there will be no evidence left that is related to Bai Yue herself." Tang Niu Xiaobao said cautiously, while looking at Lin Yaoxie, seemingly seeking Lin Yaoxie's approval. Lin Yaoxie looked at him and nodded in agreement.

"And the moment I arrived in Suzhou and became involved with the Lin family, the Moon Worship Cult Leader must have made up his mind to deal with them," Zhao Ling'er said remorsefully.

"It's not your fault, Miss. It's all that bastard, the Moon Worship Cult Leader's fault," Anu said through gritted teeth.

Suddenly, the drumbeats on both ships weakened, replaced by the low rumble of bodies hitting the ground, and the fog grew thicker and thicker.

"This fog is poisonous, be careful." Lin Yaoxie took a deep breath and discovered that the fog had the ability to intoxicate people. If one did not have a certain level of martial arts skill, one would be immediately intoxicated by the fog.

Everyone immediately covered their mouths and noses, but all the laborers on the ship had already fainted, and the drumming had completely stopped. Lin Yaoxie looked towards the Lin Family Fort ship and saw Lin Yueru holding the unconscious Liu Jinyuan, covering her mouth and gesturing in their direction.

"Did the ship over there capsize too? The fog isn't coming from Lin Family Fortress, then it's..." Lin Yaoxie looked at Anu, who covered her mouth and nose and shook her head, indicating that she was completely confused and didn't understand anything.

So Lin Yaoxie walked to the side of the boat, and just as he was about to peek out, a small mountain suddenly appeared between the two boats. Just as everyone was wondering what this was, the small mountain suddenly stretched out a huge hand and struck towards Lin's boat.

The boat from Linjiabao immediately turned into pieces, and Lin Yueru and Liu Jinyuan were also thrown into the water.

Then Xiaoshan turned towards the Evil Spirit, and only then did everyone realize that it was actually a giant tortoise. Seeing it raise its paws again, Tang Niu Xiaobao immediately picked up Anu.

He jumped into the water.

Lin Yaoxie then used his left hand to create a sword, and with his right hand, he picked up Zhao Ling'er and flew into the air.

The next instant, the Evil Spirit was torn to pieces, and the surroundings were completely filled with mist. The water was filled with broken pieces of wood. Lin Yueru struggled to hold onto the mast and Liu Jinyuan, while Tang Niu Xiaobao carried Anu to a intact deck and pushed her away from this bewildered behemoth of unknown origin.

"What is that?" Lin Yaoxie looked at the giant turtle and realized that he could no longer hear the cries from the shore or the distant drumbeats; the mist had completely obscured everything.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Heart-Devouring Secret Technique

Just as everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the black tortoise and fell into the water, no one noticed that Liu Jinyuan, who was originally on Lin Yueru's boat, had disappeared.

The Xuan Turtle, standing amidst the waves, did not launch another attack on Lin Yaoxie and his group after initially patting the water's surface slightly.

The Black Tortoise was originally one of the auspicious beasts guarding the four directions in ancient times. As the saying goes, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise. The Black Tortoise was also the Black Tortoise. At the beginning of the creation of the world, it helped Nuwa repair Buzhou Mountain, which was destroyed by Gonggong in a fit of anger, thus breaking the sky. For its merit, it was named an auspicious beast and guarded the north.

Therefore, the Xuan Turtle clan has always been known for its gentleness and kindness, and has never attacked humans. On the contrary, the Xuan Turtle not only does not like to kill, but also likes to save living beings. It has the spirituality of an ancient beast, and is therefore admired by the world. Many temples in the north enshrine the Xuan Turtle and pray to it for protection.

However, not liking to fight doesn't mean that the Xuan Turtle can't fight. Besides being gentle and kind, the Xuan Turtle was originally known for its strength, even before it helped Nuwa mend the sky. You should know that when Mount Buzhou collapsed, the four ends of the sky were supported by the Xuan Turtle's feet.

Therefore, even though the Xuan Turtle is as gentle and amiable as it is, no one dares to provoke other creatures in the Xuan Turtle clan.

But this black tortoise in front of him was very strange. Lin Yaoxie made this decision the moment he saw it. It was really strange because the eyes of black tortoises are usually brown and dark blue, and they exude infinite vitality. Just looking at them from afar makes one feel refreshed.

This black tortoise was very different from the black tortoise in Lin Yaoxie's memory. First of all, its skin color was different. Its whole body was a rainbow color, and its eyes were emitting red light. No vitality could be seen in the black tortoise's eyes. Instead, the evil aura that filled the sky could not be stopped from surging out.

If my analysis is correct, this Xuan Turtle is not the main character yet, but merely a controlled tool. The real mastermind is nearby, observing the Xuan Turtle's every move and constantly imposing restrictions and control.

It seems that I, Lin Yaoxie, am quite a celebrity in this world, and someone has already sent someone to assassinate me.

"Hahaha, Lin Yaoxie, you never thought you'd end up like this, did you? Did you think you could humiliate me without paying the price? Now I'll show you what I'm capable of!" Liu Jinyuan shouted from the back of the Xuan Turtle.

It turns out that after Liu Jinyuan was humiliated by Lin Yaoxie last time, he pretended to be afraid on the surface, but secretly harbored resentment. He colluded with Bai Yue, who was also suffering from the death of the snake demon and had no one to control in order to get close to Lin Yaoxie. So he and Liu Jinyuan hit it off.

Specifically, they used Liu Jinyuan's soul to activate the Heart-Eating Secret Technique, thereby controlling the Xuan Turtle. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, they set up an ambush near the finish line, intending to use the power of the Xuan Turtle to wipe out Lin Yaoxie and his gang.

Lin Yaoxie had already guessed that Liu Jinyuan was behind the disappearance, and since Liu Jinyuan couldn't possibly have the power to control the Xuan Turtle, he could easily conclude that Liu Jinyuan and Bai Yue had colluded.

Liu Jinyuan originally thought his appearance would frighten Lin Yaoxie. As a young master, he enjoyed the feeling of suffering on other people's faces. Normally, any woman he took a fancy to would be eager to get close to him, but Lin Yaoxie and Zhao Ling'er were exceptions.

One person inflicted the suffering on others upon himself, suffering humiliation and disgrace in front of everyone. And then there's Zhao Ling'er, who ignores him, acting all high and mighty and doesn't respect him at all. Today, he'll make them both experience his pain.

So when Liu Jinyuan saw Lin Yaoxie looking at him with a cold and indifferent expression, he wondered whether he had ambushed Lin Yaoxie or Lin Yaoxie had ambushed him.

But in an instant, his doubts were replaced by anger, because Liu Jinyuan actually saw Lin Yaoxie smiling. How could he tolerate this? So he played his flute and urged the Xuan Turtle to launch an attack. There was a reason why he dared to challenge Lin Yaoxie so confidently. He knew that the Xuan Turtle under his command was an ancient divine beast with great power. Moreover, with the support of his own life soul, its ferocity was greatly enhanced.

Although the black tortoise itself has no aggressive desires, as long as I play the flute, I can awaken the most primal animalistic nature in the black tortoise's heart, so I am not worried that the black tortoise will disobey my command or suddenly rebel.

Let's see if you can still laugh when the Xuan Turtle tears you to pieces!

0oo is asking for flowers.....

Then he piloted the Xuan Turtle to begin the attack. Although the Xuan Turtle was powerful, it had a fatal flaw: it was relatively slow. This was why Bai Yue was able to capture the Xuan Turtle, but these were not problems in Lin Yaoxie's eyes.

Defeating this Xuan Turtle would be effortless, requiring less than a tenth of his strength. However, Lin Yaoxie did not want to end the battle so quickly, as he wanted to toy with Liu Jinyuan, who was eager for revenge. Therefore, he did not engage in a direct confrontation with the Xuan Turtle. Instead, he held Zhao Ling'er and kept dodging the Xuan Turtle's attacks, only moving away when the Xuan Turtle was about to strike.

For Lin Yaoxie, Bai Yue's attack speed was child's play, let alone the Xuan Turtle, whose strength was far inferior to Bai Yue's.

0 ..

Instead, this caused Zhao Ling'er to scream incessantly and cling even tighter to Lin Yaoxie. Although she was clearly dodging the attack, in Liu Jinyuan's eyes it looked like a young couple flirting. His anger surged, and because the effect of the living soul was directly applied to the Xuan Turtle, the Xuan Turtle became even more agitated and anxious, attacking with even greater anxiety.

Lin Yaoxie, on the other hand, dodged the attacks without any pressure, and eventually, too lazy to move, he summoned his sword to fly.

All of this was particularly glaring to Liu Jinyuan, especially when he saw Zhao Ling'er tightly hugging Lin Yaoxie and Lin Yaoxie gently stroking Zhao Ling'er's hair. A surge of anger rose from his heart to the top of his head.

The flute began to play a frantic rhythm, but the black tortoise beneath its feet, unable to keep up, began to wail and roar. It turned out that although the black tortoise's mind had been controlled by the Heart-Eating Secret Technique and it had become a weapon, it still had a very clear sense of its own body.

Liu Jinyuan's reckless attack caused the Xuan Turtle to begin to succumb to the strain of its body due to frequent movements. Its consciousness became hazy, but its physical senses remained clear—a form of extreme torture, not only for humans but also for divine beasts.

Unwittingly, a tear slid down the Xuan Turtle's eye. Though small, it was vividly reflected in Lin Yaoxie's eyes, and memories flooded his mind like a raging torrent.

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Nine-Headed Berserker

That single tear touched the most vulnerable spot in Lin Yaoxie's heart, reminding him of his past self—someone who had been used and trampled underfoot, yet silently endured the pain without shedding a single tear. "Rescue him," Lin Yaoxie thought to himself.

On the other side, Bai Yue was severely weakened in the battle at the Snake Cave, but he could clearly sense that his opponent had not yet used their full strength. Who was this person? Although they were also veiled, he could sense that their strength was far beyond his own. Who else could be so powerful?

On the way back, Bai Yue racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution. This was quite normal, since Lin Yaoxie wasn't originally from this world. To Lin Yaoxie, the strongest person in this world was just a plaything in his hands. He could eliminate Bai Yue at any time if he wanted to use "027".

Of course, Bai Yue wouldn't know this, otherwise he probably would have given up resisting. But now Bai Yue is very clear that the mysterious person he fought before is definitely his biggest enemy in the future. He probably can't compete with him with his current strength. Thinking about this, Bai Yue decided to use that move!

On this day, Bai Yue led his disciples into a secret chamber, a place he had never brought his disciples to before. However, out of fear of Bai Yue, the disciples did not ask any questions. Bai Yue ordered the three pairs of boys and girls he had brought to be placed aside, and expelled everyone except for the most powerful disciples.

Upon entering the secret chamber, the disciples realized what it meant to have a world beyond a world, and a room within a room. Inside the chamber was an enormous pool, its water unfathomably deep and emitting a faint blue light, which appeared particularly eerie against the backdrop of the surrounding scenery.

"Guard my surroundings. If there is any disturbance, kill without mercy!" Bai Yue said to the disciples around him.

"We obey!" the surrounding disciples replied in unison.

Everyone understood that Baiyue was about to perform a grand ceremony, during which he might be unable to move for a long time. Therefore, he chose a very secluded secret room to carry out the ceremony, and fearing that someone might disturb him, he sent his disciples to surround the secret room in layers.

"Summoning spell—with my blood, summon my spirit!" With that, Bai Yue quickly cut his finger with his knife, and the blood dripped into the pool. The water in the pool began to churn, as if thousands of living creatures were rolling around in the water, or as if countless flames were burning beneath the pool.

Bai Yue looked extremely nervous, staring silently at the water. Everyone around him held their breath. In fact, Bai Yue was performing a summoning ritual for a creature that had signed a contract with his blood. However, because the creature being summoned was exceptionally powerful, he might not be able to control it, hence his high level of vigilance.

Bai Yue's spirit entered a highly illusory space, surrounded by ancient creatures, all of which were, without exception, remains: a black tortoise, a nine-headed bird, and a hundred-clawed god.

Wings... countless. As he continued forward, his heart pounding with fear, a faint voice echoed:

Who dares to trespass into my forbidden area!

"A commanding presence without anger"—this was the first time Bai Yue truly felt these four words. Though connected to his very blood, the fear emanating from his very bones was undeniable. Forcing himself to remain calm, he said:

I am the one connected to you by blood, and I have come to summon you!

"Oh? You? You think you can summon me?" Suddenly, two blinding beams of light shot out from the darkness. In these beams, Bai Yue could vaguely feel the surge of power and unconsciously increased his defensive attributes.

"He's quite a character, able to sense the killing intent I'm hiding in my eyes. Fine, I'm tired of spending time in this void, and there's no opponent here who can contend with me. Why don't we go to the mortal world together and experience what it's like to be human?" A voice drifted from the void in the darkness.

"That's wonderful! I was wondering how to persuade you to fight alongside me, but now it seems everything has been solved!" Bai Yue said excitedly.

Suddenly, the air in the void began to tear apart, a sign of spatial collapse. When the beings that support a space leave, the entire space will disintegrate and vanish.

Extinction.

The surrounding disciples watched as the water in the pool before them boiled to a critical point and then stopped. In an instant, the air became extremely oppressive, because they all sensed the addition of another type of creature to the space—the kind of creature that could destroy the world as easily as child's play. The next second confirmed their suspicions…

In the pool, a giant wave surged up, and two eyes, like boulders, emitted a dark gray light, instantly brightening the room. Three pairs of boys and girls were seen nearby, one after another, disappearing in a moment. The nine-headed madman flicked its tongue, sensing the difference in the new space. It narrowed its eyes and dived underwater. It turned out that the void crossing just now had taken a lot of energy, and now it needed to rest for a while.

Bai Yue was also close to exhaustion at this moment, and thought about resting to recover his strength. However, thinking that he had already achieved his goal of summoning the Nine-Headed Rampage, he went to rest with peace of mind.

Three days later, Bai Yue returned to the pool in the secret chamber and summoned the Nine-Headed Wild Python. The Nine-Headed Wild Python poked its head out of the water, and Bai Yue said:

“If it weren’t for our lack of strength, we wouldn’t have invited you to help us. Right now, I’m sending someone to control the Xuan Turtle and cause trouble on the other side. We can use this time to cultivate for a while, firstly to recover our physical strength, and secondly to further improve our strength.”

The Nine-Headed Rampage remained noncommittal, but a scene was projected onto Baiyue's consciousness:

The Nine-Headed Rampage in the picture has been one of the ten ancient ferocious beasts since ancient times. It has successively killed many divine beasts and auspicious beasts such as the Xuan Turtle, the Nine-Headed Bird, and the Hundred-Clawed Divine Wing. Its strength has been continuously improved in the process. When absorbing the Nine-Headed Bird, it comprehended a very powerful secret technique, but it requires one person to cooperate with it to cultivate. Both of them can greatly improve their strength in the process.

Looking at these images, Bai Yue finally understood where the ancient divine beast remains in the void came from. They were all defeated by the Nine-Headed Wild Python and had their essence absorbed. This made Bai Yue even more respectful of the Nine-Headed Wild Python.

Upon learning of the existence of this secret technique, they were overjoyed, as if they had found a priceless treasure.

The first step is to upgrade their bloodline contract to a soul contract, increasing their compatibility.

The process was extremely painful, like having one's soul extracted, combined with another's soul, and then reinjected into the body. This was common for the Nine-Headed Wild Python, so it didn't bother it much. However, Bai Yue was in excruciating pain, but for the sake of becoming the world's overlord, she endured the pain. Afterward, the two began to cultivate the secret technique.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Water Battle

Meanwhile, Liu Jinyuan, controlling the Xuan Turtle, racked his brains trying to figure out how to bring down Lin Yaoxie and Zhao Ling'er who were flying in the air. He was sweating profusely as he used all his strength to keep playing the magic flute.

However, the Xuan Turtle, being such a massive creature, was inherently slower and less agile than the two who flew on swords. Moreover, since the Xuan Turtle was now being controlled by Liu Jinyuan, who had no martial arts foundation or cultivation, it naturally couldn't exert its full strength.

Looking at Lin Yaoxie and Zhao Ling'er flying in the sky like a pair of lovebirds, Liu Jinyuan could only watch helplessly. Liu Jinyuan became increasingly anxious, the longer it dragged on, the greater the possibility of an accident.

"It seems that even with a blank expression, you don't dare to fight me." Liu Jinyuan had no choice but to use provocation to challenge Lin Yaoxie. If he continued to hold back, he might fly into a rage, which would affect the precision of his control over the Xuan Turtle.

Lin Yaoxie could easily see through Liu Jinyuan's inner thoughts. From beginning to end, he was using the act of flying together with Zhao Ling'er to disrupt Liu Jinyuan's mind.

Now Liu Jinyuan is clearly unable to resist the temptation and takes the initiative to provoke, which is exactly what Lin Yaoxie wants. So Lin Yaoxie begins to think about how to deliver the final blow to Liu Jinyuan's rationality.

Zhao Ling'er, nestled in Lin Yaoxie's arms, saw his mischievous expression and knew he was about to do something outrageous again. Although Zhao Ling'er hated bad people and bad deeds, looking at Liu Jinyuan and Xuan Gui, who were acting like madmen, she would rather let both sides clash and suffer a bloody defeat.

So even though Lin Yaoxie kept holding her, Zhao Ling'er neither resisted nor did she make any moves to attack Xuan Gui and Liu Jinyuan. She simply watched coldly like an outsider.

As Lin Yaoxie flew around the Xuan Turtle, he constantly searched his field of vision for anything that could disturb Liu Jinyuan's mind.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was just bad luck for Liu Jinyuan, but he spotted Lin Yueru at a glance, a key figure closely connected to Liu Jinyuan in Suzhou.
