Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"What's wrong? Aren't I just Lin Yaoxie?" Lin Yaoxie smiled bitterly.

"Don't play dumb with me. Everyone knows that the method you used to defeat Zilan was not the one used by Kunlun Xu!" Bai Qian was increasingly unable to see through Lin Yaoxie, the man who was willing to be the youngest disciple of Kunlun Xu on the surface, and wondered how much strength he actually possessed.

"eighteen!"

"My master called me, so I went!"

Mo Yuan interrupted their conversation. Bai Qian watched Lin Yaoxie walk away, her deep eyes filled with curiosity.

"Was that Xuan Gang Instant Concealment just now?" Mo Yuan's face was gloomy. When Lin Yaoxie blocked the heavenly lightning, Mo Yuan could sense it in his body, but he was not sure. However, on the arena, Xuan Gang Instant Concealment, which left him untouched by wind and rain, was displayed to the fullest extent.

"Yes!" Lin Yaoxie answered without any hesitation.

"This is a demonic cultivation technique! Where did you get it? If you don't explain yourself, you're not leaving here!" Mo Yuan was agitated, grabbing Lin Yaoxie's sleeve, his pupils swollen and bloodshot.

Like a cannibalistic demon.

"It's a martial arts technique I found when I was a child, and I thought I'd use it for self-defense..." Lin Yaoxie couldn't very well say that he got it from the system; who would believe such a bizarre and evil thing?

"Is this true?" Mo Yuan released Lin Yaoxie's collar in disappointment. He had mistakenly thought that Shao Wei had returned, but he was disappointed once again.

"Really!" Lin Yaoxie guessed that Mo Yuan must have remembered Shao Wei to be so excited, and didn't say anything more.

"You don't need to compete with Diefeng and Siyin. Since you know the Xuan Gang Instant Concealment, they are definitely no match for you. You have already achieved first place. Tomorrow, go with them to the library to cultivate. There are dangers inside, so be careful!" Mo Yuan flicked his sleeves and left.

The next day.

The disciples were already waiting in the library early on. The mysteries of the library cannot be understood just by being inside. Even the inscriptions written on the outside are not a small achievement if one can decipher them.

As Bai Qian and her senior brother entered, the number of people increased, leaving only Lin Yaoxie standing outside, staring intently at the fourth floor of the library.

"Today is the only chance! If you get first place, hurry up and go in to take a look!" Zi Lan nudged Lin Yaoxie, who was still hesitant to go in, and reminded him.

"Yes, this is the only chance. If we miss this opportunity today, we won't be able to open the barrier set up by Mo Yuan!" Lin Yaoxie pondered. "Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother!" He then stepped into the library.

Although small, it has all the essential parts. It looks unremarkable from the outside, but it is actually a world of its own. It is shrouded in clouds and mist. The first floor is visible, but the second floor is not. The third floor is visible, but the fourth floor is not. However, the third floor where Lin Yaoxie is located is visible from both the top and bottom. He ascended to the third floor, which was like the entrance to a whirlpool. It must be that there is another world inside.

Looking from bottom to top, the highest four floors are a gate made of millennia-old black iron. This kind of gate cannot be opened by anyone except with specific techniques. The dark gate gives people a sense of solemnity that it is not to be approached. It has been listed as a forbidden area by everyone. Even experts who have been inside may not be able to understand its mysteries.

"Is there a problem, Junior Brother?" Die Feng Teng Yun arrived in the air and saw that Lin Yaoxie had not yet entered the third floor, which aroused his suspicion.

"Senior brother, don't worry!" Lin Yaoxie turned to look at the fourth floor. This was the only opportunity, so how could he miss it? Only by growing faster could he realize his grand ambitions as soon as possible.

With a leap, he ascended to the fourth floor. The cry of the whale-like roc shook the heavens and the earth. The tall and majestic black iron gate exuded a chilling aura, and the oppressive atmosphere was undisguised. It would not be an exaggeration to describe this feeling as hell on earth.

With each step Lin Yaoxie took closer, the chill penetrated deeper into his bones. Although he had Xuan Gang's Instant Concealment to protect him, he was still helpless against the physically caused chill.

His fingers were gradually stiffening, and even the Crimson Flame Sword could no longer provide any energy. Lin Yaoxie's legs felt like lead, each step heavier than the last.

Chapter Ten: The Fourth Floor of the Library

Lin Yaoxie didn't know why, but he couldn't help but want to get closer and closer, and his desire grew stronger and stronger.

"Eighteen, stop!" Die Feng brandished his long sword, grabbed Lin Yaoxie's right arm, and tried to leave, but found that Lin Yaoxie was as heavy as a mountain and could not be moved at all, so he could only move slowly.

Unexpectedly, this triggered a hidden weapon, and sharp knives flew out rapidly, densely packed, leaving no chance for escape.

While protecting Lin Yaoxie, Die Feng's right arm was pierced by a sharp knife, and blood gushed out.

"Hurry up!" Die Feng pulled Lin Yaoxie hard, but he still didn't budge. Because of the force of the movement, his wounds were torn open several times.

Blood seeped into the ground, and the strong smell of blood permeated the entire fourth floor of the library. Suddenly, the dagger went silent.

"Host, mission notification: Kill Diefeng. Its dragon blood can imprison Xuan Iron. Mission complete. Reward: 2000 Demon King Points." The system notification voice flooded his mind.

Poor Diefeng was still desperately trying to save Lin Yaoxie, unaware that the person in front of him was the most dangerous enemy.

"No wonder my legs feel like lead while Die Feng moves freely." Lin Yaoxie muttered to himself. But in his current state, he was bound to be killed instead of killed. He couldn't explain why he went up to the fourth floor if he went out. Now there was only one way out—to kill Die Feng.

Lin Yaoxie glanced at the pool of blood on the ground and tried to use it to untie his bound legs. A cloud of black energy was drawn from his legs with remarkable success, indicating that these evil things were responsible for the disturbance.

"Senior Brother, I'm sorry!" Lin Yaoxie picked up the dagger that had been knocked away by Die Feng and hid it in his palm.

Although the eldest brother and Lin Yaoxie still share a bond of camaraderie, their positions as rulers of the world will inevitably be built upon a foundation of blood and flesh.

A sharp knife flew out, instantly piercing Diefeng's heart. The force was far greater than that of the previous knife. Without years of training, one could not kill with such a single move.

Pain washed over him, and Diefeng slowly looked down at his chest, his breathing growing weaker and weaker.

"Lin Yaoxie...you...you...〃?..." He fell heavily to the ground and vanished.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the kill! The system reward of 2000 Demon King Points has been credited to your account!" The mechanical voice flooded his mind, and Lin Yaoxie didn't say anything more.

He quickly took the essence blood of the Diefeng Sect and splashed it onto the Xuan Tie gate. The gate was instantly corroded by the essence blood, and a terrifying and malevolent aura swept over it.

"Finally!" Lin Yaoxie's pupils widened slightly, and he gripped the Crimson Flame tightly with both hands.

Walking slowly inside, unlike the previous three levels, there were no other worlds inside, only a door blocking the way.

As Lin Yaoxie ventured deeper, he found only overgrown weeds. The cries of the whale-like roc seemed like a call to death. The deeper he went, the less life there was, and beads of sweat appeared on Lin Yaoxie's forehead.

"I only wish to never see you again for ten thousand years, yet to stay together for ten thousand years..." A woman's monologue came from ahead, but when Lin Yaoxie got closer, he realized that it was just an illusion.

This was exactly what Mo Yuan had imagined, and the woman was Shao Wei, the Demon Clan's ancestor. The saying "too rigid, too easily broken" perfectly describes Shao Wei's death.

Mo Yuan had always been troubled by Shao Wei's death, and no one dared to mention it. Perhaps because of this, he materialized his memories in the hard-to-access fourth floor of the library, and the secret manual about the Eastern Emperor Bell should be here.

"Who are you!" The woman turned around, put her hands on her hips, and looked arrogant.

"How could I tell you who I am!" Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, then quickly replied, "The Second Prince of the Western Sea, Die Feng!"

The Crimson Flame Sword struck, but it had no effect on the illusion.

"You dare to hurt me?" The woman clapped her hands with a wicked smile. "You're the first one in all these years!"

Black energy surged forth, and Lin Yaoxie had never felt such a powerful threat before.

"Hahahaha, kid, get lost!" Shaowei sat cross-legged, staring at Lin Yaoxie with her eyes wide open. Her innocent and carefree demeanor made it hard to believe that she had passed away.

"I've come to collect the book!" Lin Yaoxie looked at Shaowei firmly.

"Hahahaha, then take my three sword strikes!" Shao Wei transformed into human form and unleashed a greatsword exuding a sinister black-purple aura. Instantly, the world lost its color, and the entire library was shaken.

Lin Yaoxie closed his eyes. A direct confrontation was obviously impossible. He could only use Xuan Gang Instant Concealment to protect himself, at least to save his life.

The first sword strike revealed that Shao Wei hadn't used much of his power, but Lin Yaoxie could barely withstand it.

"Imagination can be so powerful!" Lin Yaoxie sighed, but calmly prepared to face the second sword.

"He actually survived the second sword strike!" Shao Wei exclaimed in surprise. Then, a sky-splitting slash came straight at him, as if it would cut Lin Yaoxie in two.

With a loud "boom," the thick fog was gradually lifted, revealing Lin Yaoxie kneeling with his sword drawn, blood spilling from the corner of his lips.

Seeing that he was still alive, Lin Yao sneered, his blood-red teeth opening and closing arrogantly, and he wiped the bloodstains from his mouth haphazardly: "Come on! One more sword!"

Shao Wei transformed his fist into a palm, channeling all his energy into his palm. With a thrust of his greatsword, the greatsword, carrying immense energy, hurtled straight toward Lin Yaoxie.

"Oh no!" Lin Yaoxie's pupils widened; he couldn't block this sword.

Lin Yaoxie tightly closed his eyes: "Am I going to die here?! Oh my god! I want to live a few more years and return to the main world! I really regret it! I actually courted death here!"

"Hey!" With a snap of his fingers, Shao Zu stood in front of Lin Yaoxie, scrutinizing him intently.

"Why can't I feel this third sword strike?" Lin Yaoxie said sullenly.

"You were the first person not to dodge the third sword strike, so you managed to survive! Here! Take this book!" Shaowei pulled out a book from his pocket. It was well-preserved and certainly not an ordinary book.

Lin Yaoxie took it and exclaimed, "This isn't the book I want! I don't want it!"

Lin Yaoxie threw the book away, and Shaowei was furious: "This is the only book here. Over the years, so many people have gone to great lengths for it, and today you actually scoff at it!"

"Ah! The book about the Eastern Emperor... isn't it with you...?" (Good) Lin Yaoxie pursed his lips, feigning pitifulness.

"The Eastern Emperor Bell? Hahahaha, how could Mo Yuan have kept it as a book!" Shao Wei shook his head.

"Then, senior..." Lin Yaoxie hesitated, perhaps because he had been too obvious, as Shaowei could see through his thoughts at a glance. "Mo Yuan doesn't know I'm here. He built this place only to prevent my Demon Refining Sword Technique from being stolen by others. I'm just a soul residing in the book! You can take the book. I knew you could use Xuan Gang Instant Concealment, which is also a sign of our connection. My soul won't last much longer anyway, so you should leave!"

Just after leaving the fourth floor, Die Feng, who was about to be stabbed to death by Lin Yaoxie, was still lying in the same spot, but his body had already lost its warmth. Lin Yaoxie quickly hid the Demon Refining Sword Technique. Since Mo Yuan valued it so much, being expelled from the sect wouldn't be a severe punishment if it was discovered.

If Lin Yaoxie were to go out now, his disheveled appearance would only make people suspect that he was responsible. It would be better to play along with the plan.

Chapter Eleven: The Storm Rises Again

"Lin Yaoxie! Lin Yaoxie!" Bai Qian put down the porridge she was feeding him, her gentle demeanor making Lin Yaoxie wonder if he was dreaming.

"You're awake..." Bai Qian said as she helped Lin Yaoxie up, seeing that he didn't speak.

"Eighteen is awake?!" Mo Yuan's calm voice was very distinctive; even without seeing his face, one knew that his master had arrived.

"Do you know how your senior brother Die Feng died?" A cold gaze met Lin Yaoxie's, but Lin Yaoxie did not back down. He was a man who had seen many storms and was not easily frightened by Mo Yuan.

"Senior Brother is dead? I only saw Senior Brother on the fourth floor. I went to check on him, and then I was knocked unconscious by the man in black from behind!" Lin Yaoxie looked shocked. His furrowed brows and surprised expression made it hard to doubt him.

"Hmm!" Mo Yuan didn't say much. From his heavy expression, it was clear that not only was Die Feng dead, but the Demon Refining Sword Technique had also been stolen, so Mo Yuan was taking it very seriously.

Bai Qian left, and the bloodstain on her white clothes clearly indicated that she had found Lin Yaoxie lying in a pool of blood and rescued him.

Lin Yaoxie moved his whole body, having taken three blows from that short distance. Lin Yaoxie was obviously seriously injured. No one in 097 knew who this mysterious person was, and they all believed that the death of their senior brother and Lin Yaoxie's serious injury were both related to this mysterious person.

Lin Yaoxie became the focus of the entire Kunlun Xu case-solving effort overnight, with everyone coming to him, yet no one suspected him.

"Is the Divine Lord here?" The knocking on the door was the third time Lin Yaoxie had woken up.

Everyone came to ask about the cause of the senior brother's death, and finally a female voice was heard.

"Come in!" Lin Yaoxie said with his eyes closed.

When Xuan Nu entered, she saw that Lin Yaoxie had not opened his eyes. She simply watched from the side without saying anything and even poured him some hot tea.

"I know...I know it's you!" Xuan Nu said, gripping her sleeves and mustering her courage.

Lin Yaoxie suddenly opened his eyes, his murderous gaze slowly shifting towards Xuan Nu. What he wanted was never a talkative woman.

"Don't worry! Don't worry! I definitely won't tell! I'm just reminding you to be careful in the future!" Xuan Nu's hands trembled nervously, perhaps sensing the unusual killing intent emanating from Lin Yaoxie.

"Get out!" Before Xuan Nu could even sit down, Lin Yaoxie quickly dismissed her. He might kill this talkative woman one day when he got tired of her.

After Xuan Nu left, Lin Yaoxie sat cross-legged. His internal energy had been scattered and needed to be gathered again.

Lin Yaoxie calmed himself and examined his body. His true energy was constantly wandering, which was very detrimental to his cultivation. Although it was good that he was not dead, being unable to cultivate would truly ruin his life.

Lin Yaoxie was somewhat dejected, and then he remembered the Demon Refining Sword Technique he had just obtained, and took it out to examine it carefully.

The book contains all the movements and techniques, including the Xuan Gang Instant Concealment given by the system, which is also the basic chapter of the book. It is evident how extraordinary one's future achievements will be after obtaining this book. No wonder Shao Wei is the ancestor of the Demon Clan.

Lin Yaoxie slumped the book onto the bed.
