Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

At the edge of the basin, the disciples of Qingyun Sect and the disciples of Ghost King Sect were locked in a stalemate, with Qin Wuyan standing coldly in place watching the fight.

Lin Yaoxie and the mischievous boy were caught up in the crowd when suddenly Lin Yaoxie looked eastward and frowned.

"Brothers, we're in trouble now," Lin Yaoxie said with a wry smile.

Dust billowed, and the faint, menacing aura grew increasingly terrifying; clearly, this was one of the signs of a beast tide.

"The beast tide is coming, hurry up and leave." Reluctantly throwing down the last Explosive Pill bestowed by Elder Wu'an, everyone present cried out and fled. Taking advantage of the chaos, everyone hurriedly escaped. Among them, Lin Yaoxie led the mischievous boy and Biyao away at top speed.

It should be noted that these were the two Explosive Pills that Elder Wu'an bestowed upon Lin Yaoxie in the Spirit Mountain.

The Exploding Pill is extremely powerful; it is a one-time-use weapon that can threaten even those at the ninth level of the Jade Purity Realm.

In the distance, there were hundreds of black demonic tigers, each two meters tall, whose terrifying aura was extremely frightening.

This is because it is a fusion of several hundred tigers, specifically the Black Tigers, whose cultivation level is at the sixth level of Jade Purity.

"Black Tiger Demon Beast! Damn it! Didn't the elders drive away the demon beast horde before? How come there's still a beast tide?" The mischievous boy's face turned ashen as he gritted his teeth.

"What kind of monster is this? It doesn't seem to be recorded in the Hundred Beasts Chronicle," Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but frown.

It is worth noting that in the previous Hundred Beasts Chronicles 063, Lin Yaoxie read many records in the library, including records of many existing monsters, and even records of monsters with ancient bloodlines that had become extinct.

However, Lin Yaoxie had never encountered such a black giant tiger in the library before, with its patterns resembling a ghost face, sharp claws, and terrifying aura. Naturally, he was also very curious about it.

"These are the offspring of the striped tiger and the demon tiger, called black tigers. Although these beasts are low-level, they have strong vitality and their power is terrifying. The most terrifying of them is that the black tigers are all tribal groups and often dominate an entire mountain range," Biyao explained.

Because this is a hybrid monster, it is not mentioned in the Records of Beasts, as such monsters, though strange and terrifying, are rarely recorded.

The Qingyun disciples' expressions changed drastically, and more than a dozen of them immediately stepped onto the Qingyun cyan longswords, flying through the air and breaking through to the area where the demon tigers were less numerous.

The Ghost King Sect disciples emitted black smoke from their bodies, as if they had transformed into black clouds and fled.

Qin Wuyan, the Poison Prince of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, displayed remarkable skill. An aura emanated from his body, causing his fiery red robe to instantly stiffen and transform into flying spiritual energy, which then vanished.

Lin Yaoxie then activated the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, a terrifying combination of poisonous needles and a rain of needles, which instantly opened a passage.

The Ghost King Sect's technique is a movement technique, but it's only the lowest level of the Black Smoke Movement Technique. It appears to be covered in black smoke, but it's just a deception, which is quite shocking to everyone.

However, for the Black Tiger Beasts, there are hundreds of them. Once they swarm in, their combined power is terrifying, and their aura is frightening.

"This movement technique is just a deception; it's pathetic in real combat," the mischievous boy couldn't help but say with relief.

Looking at the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles in Lin Yaoxie's hand, Biyao couldn't help but feel a strange glint in her eyes. Although various sects also possessed such strange weapons, none were as domineering and sharp as the one Lin Yaoxie wielded, as fierce as a raging storm.

There were no hidden weapons in the downpour.

"Brother Lin, this weapon is truly a divine object!" the mischievous boy exclaimed excitedly.

"Stop dreaming. At the fifth level of Jade Purity, you already have a spiritual energy shield. This rain of swords can't penetrate it at all; it's completely useless," Lin Yaoxie said disdainfully.

Having escaped, and seeing their disciples still wailing in the chaos behind them, none of them turned back.

Ahead was a huge pool of water, next to a waterfall, where people sat to rest.

"The aura is off, and the water in the pool is icy cold. What kind of water is this?" Lin Yaoxie had just put his hand in when he immediately pulled it out.

The mischievous boy also tried it, only to find the water in the pool icy cold, making him extremely terrified.

Everyone was shocked. Lin Yaoxie frowned. He had previously been in the library where there were records of strange places in the world. There was a record that the pool water was cold and located near the waterfall, so it must be strange and unusual.

"This is the Frozen Pool. Legend has it that there are Frozen Pearls inside. If you obtain them, you can cultivate Frozen Techniques and increase their effectiveness several times over," Biyao said excitedly, her eyes wide with wonder.

Immediately, everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the Frosty Pool with curiosity.

"But this water is freezing cold. If you enter, you'll freeze instantly and die without a doubt," the mischievous boy said with a wry smile.

"Ancient texts record that the Frozen Pool is incredibly strange, and there are strange beads deep within it. However, due to the contrast between Yin and Yang, there must be Fire God Grass around the Frozen Pool. Anyone who consumes it will feel as if their body is burning with flames, but if they throw themselves into the Frozen Pool, they will be contained and their bodies will be safe from both fire and water," Lin Yaoxie laughed.

“Indeed, it seems Junior Brother Lin is also well-read.” Biyao smiled.

Everyone was overjoyed and began searching for the Fire God Grass around the pool.

Sure enough, in the crevices between the rocks behind the waterfall, in a dark and damp place, grew a small, fiery red grass, which felt warm to the touch.

"I'll do it," Lin Yaoxie said through gritted teeth.

After swallowing the Fire God Grass, Lin Yaoxie felt his body burning with intense heat. He then immediately plunged into the Frozen Pool, where he felt flames burning rapidly all over his body, but in an instant, endless coldness washed over him. For a moment, heat and cold intertwined, and then Lin Yaoxie felt much more at ease.

"Is Brother Lin alright? Look at him flipping over in the water." The mischievous boy couldn't help but frown and ask worriedly.

When the Ghost King Sect was recruiting students, Lin Yaoxie and Wantong entered together. Moreover, the two had similar personalities and got along very well, which is why Wantong was quite worried.

“It’s alright. Although his cultivation level isn’t high, a disciple who can be noticed by Elder Wu’an must be extraordinary,” Bi Yao said confidently.

"Why is that? Elder Wu'an has taken in three disciples, but I don't seem to have heard of their fame," the mischievous boy couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The eldest disciple is named Chi Yan. He is skilled in fire-based techniques and has won first place in both the outer and inner sect core disciple competitions. He has defeated Qi Hao, an outstanding talent from the Azure Cloud Sect, three times. You tell me, is he powerful or not?"

"The second disciple is the Night God, skilled in assassination. He once ventured alone into the depths of the Demon God's forbidden land and killed three demon kings of the tenth level of Jade Purity. He even found dragon blood to refine his body. What do you think?"

"The third disciple is Lin Yaoxie. Elder Wu'an is aloof and doesn't care much about sect affairs, but he is the most powerful among the elders, even comparable to the Qingyun Sect Master. What do you think of Elder Wu'an's strength?" Biyao blinked and smiled.

Chapter Nineteen Night Talk

Compared to the beast tide currently unfolding around Lin Yaoxie, the Ghost King Sect is experiencing a more turbulent undercurrent.

The Ghost King summoned the four guardians—Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger—to the dark chamber. The five sat at opposite corners, and in the very center of the chamber stood a cauldron as tall as three people.

The cauldron was entirely black, and around it were carved mysterious and ancient patterns. Nine lifelike golden dragons coiled around the cauldron, and in the mouth of each dragon was a small ball, each ball shimmering with light and dazzling.

"Now, the world is in chaos. The righteous sects have been at peace for so long, and they have begun to fight for power among themselves. Qingyun Sect and Fenxiang Valley are even vying for the title of the number one righteous sect in the world. What are your thoughts?" Ghost King, sitting in the center of the five people, said leisurely.

“I think we should take the initiative now. These righteous sects have been living in comfort for too long, and they’ve probably forgotten how to fight,” the man in blue said with a soft laugh in the southeast corner. “This time, we should defeat these righteous sects in one fell swoop and let them feel the pain of being oppressed for so many years!”

The man sitting on the south side sneered, "Qinglong, you were the one who seemed to be terrified by Wan Jianyi back then, weren't you? Now you speak so righteously and with such vigor. Back when Wan Jianyi was around, you weren't the first one to rush up and fight him."

Azure Dragon angrily retorted, "White Tiger Holy Envoy, we agreed that we wouldn't bring up what happened back then. Are you trying to sow discord between our Holy Sect now?"

The White Tiger glanced disdainfully at the Azure Dragon. "I just can't stand some people who are actually terrified, but they're very good at talking and never admit defeat."

The Ghost King glanced at the two arguing and said sternly, "Let's not talk about the past anymore, Azure Dragon Envoy and White Tiger Envoy. What we need to consider now is how to take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge on the righteous path, instead of letting you argue here pointlessly."

Upon hearing the Ghost King's words, both of them fell silent and stopped arguing, creating a moment of tranquility in the dark room.

Suddenly, the masked woman in black, who was standing in a corner, asked, "Wan Jianyi, is he still alive?"

Everyone turned to look at the woman, their eyes filled with regret. The Ghost King looked at the woman in front of him and shook his head. "So many years have passed, and Wan Jianyi has still not walked in the world. I don't think such an flamboyant person can endure loneliness and cultivate in seclusion. I think Wan Jianyi should be dead by now."

Disappointment flashed in the masked woman's eyes, but she quickly concealed it, muttering to herself, "That's good. Without Wan Jianyi, the Qingyun Sect is nothing but a rabble."

The Ghost King nodded. "Hmm, not bad. Without Wan Jianyi, the Qingyun Sect is like a pile of loose sand. But after so many years, the Qingyun Sect's strength must have increased. After all, it was once the number one righteous sect in the world. We still need to be careful."

The remaining four people in the arena all showed solemn expressions. Qinglong spoke up and said, "According to the current situation, the Blackwater Serpent is very likely in the Endless Sea of ​​the Dead Spirit Abyss, while the whereabouts of the other three divine beasts are still unknown."

The Ghost King nodded. "This news has been confirmed and is indeed true. Biyao and the Vermilion Bird Envoy have witnessed the divine power of the Black Water Serpent. However, the Black Water Serpent is now injured, making it even more difficult to capture it."

In the dark room, an old man who had never spoken before said slowly, "The Blackwater Serpent has always been cunning. Even when it is at its peak, it is very difficult to capture. Let alone in the current situation, I think the matter of capturing the Blackwater Serpent needs to be carefully considered."

The Ghost King nodded in agreement. "Yes, Saint Xuanwu, we should now focus our attention on the other three divine beasts. Saint Envoy Qinglong, are there any other divine beasts in sight?"

The Azure Dragon Envoy nodded. "Yes, on Liubo Mountain in the East Sea, someone heard a thunderous roar. Moreover, recently, a strange aura has been emanating from Liubo Mountain in the East Sea, with an astonishing presence. I suspect it is another sign that a divine beast has emerged from the mountain."

"A thunderous roar?" The Ghost King pondered for a moment. "Could it be the legendary spirit beast, the Kui Niu? Only the birth of this beast can be accompanied by such a powerful roar."

0oo is asking for flowers.....

Everyone present was overjoyed. The White Tiger Envoy stood up, cupped his hands to the Ghost King, and said, "Congratulations, Ghost King, on acquiring another treasure. With this spirit beast, we are just around the corner to defeat the righteous path!"

The Ghost King smiled and said, "The capture of the Kui Niu is no small matter. This matter must not be leaked. Soon, select several trusted disciples of the Ghost King Sect to accompany me to Liubo Mountain in the East Sea. The Vermilion Bird Saint Envoy and the Azure Dragon Saint Envoy will go with me, while the Black Tortoise Saint Envoy and the White Tiger Saint Envoy will stay behind to guard the safety of the Ghost King Sect."

All four people in the room bowed their heads and said, "Yes!"

The Ghost King walked to the cauldron before him, touched it, and said, "Father, rest assured, I will definitely defeat the righteous path. I will make the Ghost King Sect flourish in my hands!" Then, the Ghost King glanced at the four people before him, "Why aren't you going now to relay the orders!"

0 ..

"Yes!" With that, the four men bowed and left the dark room one by one.

The Ghost King touched the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron before him, then the emerald ring on his hand, his eyes filled with hatred. "Don't worry, my wife, I will definitely kill all the righteous people in the world to avenge you. I swear!"

The four people who had already left looked at the dark room behind them. Baihu said helplessly, "Ever since that incident, the Ghost King's personality has changed drastically. His bloodthirstiness is really worrying."

The Azure Dragon Envoy's expression changed. "The Ghost King's affairs are not something we can discuss. If you say such things again, I will say that you are disrupting the morale of the army, White Tiger Envoy."

The White Tiger Envoy waved his hand helplessly, "I have no opinion on Lord Ghost King's private affairs, but I feel sorry for Biyao. We watched her grow up, and after experiencing such a blow, I'm worried about her."

Zhuque nodded, "Yes, Biyao has indeed never experienced the love of her parents all these years. It's really worrying. All we can do is keep guiding her and prevent her from going down the same path in the future."

The remaining three nodded solemnly, then sighed softly and dispersed to inform their respective subordinates.

Chapter Twenty: Suppressing the Beast Tide

Lin Yaoxie and the others looked cautiously at the surging beast tide before them. Lin Yaoxie held Biyao's hand with his left hand and gripped the long sword in his right hand.

Lin Yaoxie looked at the approaching beast tide without fear. He turned his head and smiled, saying to Biyao, "Close your eyes, Biyao. The scene in a moment is too bloody. I'm worried you won't be able to watch it."

Biyao looked tenderly at her beloved beside her and obediently closed her eyes. She saw Lin Yaoxie throw the sword in his hand into the sky. In an instant, Lin Yaoxie's sword split into two, then into four, then into eight. In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with sword shadows, dazzling and breathtaking.

Lin Yaoxie roared, "Ten Thousand Swords Technique!" At the same time, he waved his hand towards the surging beast tide, and countless sword shadows pierced into the beast tide in front of him. Instantly, the overwhelming and dazzling sword shadows engulfed the attacking beast tide. Only the continuous sound of "plop plop" could be heard, and more than half of the beast tide in front of him had disappeared.

Lin Yaoxie retrieved his sword, and then, with a light flick of his wrist, a sword aura over ten feet long surged towards the beast tide. The remaining half of the beast tide was also annihilated by Lin Yaoxie's sword!

Lin Yaoxie smiled and looked around at everyone, then said to Biyao, "Open your eyes, Biyao." He put his right hand behind his back and gently patted Biyao's head with it.

"There is no danger now."

Biyao opened her eyes curiously and saw that the once raging beast tide was now nothing but a pile of corpses and bloodstains. There was also a trace of blood on Lin Yaoxie's right hand.

Everyone stared in astonishment at Lin Yaoxie. The power of Lin Yaoxie's sword was so formidable that he had wiped out the entire beast tide with just a few gestures.

Lin Yaoxie raised an eyebrow and looked coldly at the crowd. "Now, aren't you going to leave now? Are you going to disturb me and Sister Biyao?"

The members of Qingyun Sect dared not speak out against their anger. Zhang Xiaofan looked at his senior brother and earnestly advised him, "Senior brother, she is a demonic witch, and everyone should kill her. You can't be with her. She will only destroy your future."

Lin Yaoxie looked at Zhang Xiaofan in front of him and said with a smile, "Junior brother, you don't understand your senior brother at all. Don't mention today's matter again, otherwise, don't blame me for not showing any brotherly affection."

Zhang Xiaofan looked at Lin Yaoxie with grief, "Senior brother, don't let this demonic sect witch bewitch your mind! The demonic sect and we are mortal enemies. How can you do this to the master who raised and taught us?"

Lin Yaoxie's brows furrowed deeply, and his murderous aura surged continuously. Zhang Xiaofan's words had finally angered him. What he hated most was being pressured by others using so-called righteousness. This time, he finally lost his patience.

"Whether I've lived up to my master's expectations or not, I know in my heart! I don't need you to teach me how to do it!" With that, Lin Yaoxie fiercely swung his long sword, creating a chasm about ten feet wide between Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Yaoxie. "From this day forward, we are no longer friends. If you utter such words again, I will surely kill you!"

Looking at Lin Yaoxie before him, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes were filled with tears. "Senior brother, I believe you were just confused for a moment," he said, then transformed into a flying sword. "Senior brother, Qingyun Sect will always be your final home!"

Lin Yaoxie waved his hand impatiently, "Go away, you," the long sword in Lin Yaoxie's hand flashed with golden light, "If you say that again, today, this place will be your burial ground!"

Zhang Xiaofan sighed and turned to leave. The remaining members of the Qingyun Sect, seeing Zhang Xiaofan leave, could only fly away on their swords.
