Chapter 47: You Want What I'll Give You! (Third Update!)
I apologize, my willpower was weak today, those damn things pulled me to play lol, five black ranks, one game and it's already three hours... Three hours! I could have written an extra chapter! The most infuriating thing is! Damn it! Wasted three hours! Not a single win!! All top mid and bottom lanes were destroyed!!! Waaahhh... My ranking points fell to the bottom of the valley... I never want to play with you guys again... Waaahhh...
This teaching building is very strange, made entirely of metal, like a round tower, tens of meters high, with the same thickness from top to bottom. Within a distance of nearly fifty meters around it, there are no buildings or vegetation, but only pure white stone bricks that seem to be vacuum-sealed, and even the fine seams between the stones are almost invisible. A large copper-colored metal gate is inlaid on the front of the teaching building, which is particularly eye-catching and can be seen from a distance.
"You have been collected by Na Jie's soul, it is right here, the Soul Emperor who saved you at first is also inside, be careful of your own safety."
When passing through that reddish-brown metal gate, the sound of Hun Yu suddenly rose, and then Zong Yin completely lost the feeling of Hun Yu's existence.
Zong Yin's heart suddenly felt a sense of unease for no reason. Now it seemed that more than one big shot was looking for him, what had happened? So many people were looking for him?
In the middle of the teaching building, in a sealed room that was about two people high and resembled a horizontally placed egg, countless light points were arranged in order. Among them, dozens of light points had been marked with red labels. The old man who had first used the Black Star Soul Technique was sitting cross-legged in the center of the room, with Old Man Fan and Ye Feng by his side.
"What? How did you let Blue Hair bring this kid here? Nonsense! What if he's also a disciple of the Swallowing Heaven Sect, wouldn't that be dangerous?"
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his expression, staring at the two. He had already sensed that the student he had rescued earlier was rapidly approaching, led by Lan Xin.
"Li Shi can rest assured, his identity is clean, and among the four Tianyun Sect disciples who died yesterday, the strongest one was killed by him."
Mr. Fan smiled slightly and said respectfully that he had made a detailed investigation into Zong Yin's background, although he was an illegitimate child, everything was well-documented and his origin was very clear.
"Don't let him in here, you go out and see him, this place is too fragile, any one of the Swallowing Heaven Sect can destroy it."
The old man helplessly glanced at Fan Lao, this child who had grown up under his own guidance now had his own personality and charm, and he didn't say anything more, letting the two go outside to meet Zong Yin. Even if someone's identity wasn't a problem, they still couldn't casually enter this secret room.
Fan Lao Ren and Ye Feng bowed to the old man, their bodies twisted and distorted, disappearing from the secret room.
"The pulse of heaven and earth that has never changed for a hundred years, suddenly appeared with an unknown change, I don't know if it's good or bad, alas, the sky is going to change."
After the person left, the old man's eyes were a bit distracted and he muttered to himself.
"Four Soul Masters died last night, and two of them had their Nasal Rings missing. Yang Jun wouldn't dare to touch those things, are they on you?"
After the two saw Zong Yin, they casually found a reason to send Lan Xin away. After Lan Xin left with a pout on her face and muttering "burning the bridge after crossing the river" and other similar phrases, Old Man Fan's expression turned serious and he asked straightforwardly.
Zong Yin's eyebrows furrowed, and he had been guessing why the two were looking for him all along. Now it seemed they were after him because of those few Soul Masters he and Yang Jun had killed last night.
It was just Old Man Fan's question that made Zong Yin feel a little puzzled, he asked if the two silver rings on his hand were really on his hand. Did they think that the lives of these few people were not as important as those two silver rings?
Thinking of this, Zong Yin's slight good impression of the two people gradually cooled down, and he didn't even bother to chat with them, directly taking out the two Na Rings.
The two old men were also the kind of people who had become refined, and they immediately discovered the change in Zong's attitude. They smiled slightly and took over the Nascent Ring. With a wave of their hand, the two Nascent Rings burst open, and all the things inside floated in front of the three people. When they saw those encrypted books, the eyes of the two old men lit up at the same time, and they grabbed them in their hands.
"These people are not ordinary, we need some information to understand their purpose, and that's what we want."
Ye Feng still wanted Zong Yin to be his disciple, and he didn't want to be suspected by this junior. He brightened up the book in his hand and explained vaguely.
"Now that you know they have what you want in their hands, why didn't you take action earlier?"
Zong Yinhuan was surprised and wondered why the information in the notebooks they carried with them needed to be encrypted, it turned out there were secrets!
"These are just small fish, the real big fish have not shown up yet, and we don't want to scare them away. Speaking of which, we should thank you, this time you encountered danger actually helped us confirm some things."
Ye Feng's face suddenly turned somewhat gloomy, because Zong Yin's encounter this time further confirmed that Ao Fei was problematic. He had investigated and found out that normally Zong Yin was very low-key, and on the surface, the only ones who had conflicts with him were Shen Peng and Ao Fei. Moreover, Shen Peng had repeatedly led people to cause trouble for Zong Yin three times. This time, the person who followed Shen Peng suddenly attacked Zong Yin, which seemed reasonable, but Ye Feng understood that with Shen Peng's abilities, he absolutely did not have the ability to mobilize six soul masters at the same time!
"Sure enough, it's not Shēn Péng's second-rate subordinate? I said so, the Soul Master's level, unexpectedly all cultivated auxiliary soul techniques, and they are all high-level soul techniques. It looks like they were specially assisting someone. You know, even ordinary aristocratic families shouldn't have such high-level soul techniques. Who are these people? Why did they attack me? It seems I don't have any connection with them?"
Zong Yin's face was strange, and Ye Feng's words confirmed his speculation. Shen Peng, that idiot, was probably used as a gun by someone else. Ye Feng's last sentence also reminded Zong Yin, who had already vaguely guessed the true mastermind behind the scenes. What he couldn't understand was that these people were not normal rich families' descendants, and since they had something that could move those two, their identities must be extraordinary.
"One day you will know, but for now your strength is still too weak and it's not good for you to know. Also, the two Soul Masters who escaped yesterday were already dead by the time we arrived, so be careful of people behind the scenes looking for trouble with you."
This time, Ye Feng didn't explain anything, he just smiled slightly and took her away. Finally, he reminded Zong Yin to be careful before falling silent.
Upon hearing this news, Zong Yin's heart skipped a beat again. This was what they called "killing to silence", and people who could do such things were absolutely ruthless and cruel. Suddenly having so many formidable enemies for no reason at all made Zong Yin feel somewhat uneasy. Indeed, saving people wasn't something that ordinary people could do.
"What should I do if I want to upgrade my ancestor?"
She let out a faint sigh, and didn't bother to deal with the trouble, thinking of the main purpose of this visit, she asked Old Man Fan directly.
"It was I who made a mistake. You just need to keep filling the soul pattern on your Soul Stone with soul power, and when it's full, it will naturally upgrade."
Fan Lao Ren slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered that although the Sealing Technique Manual had been handed over to Zong Yin, he had forgotten to tell him how to advance to the next level.
Zong Yin felt a bit depressed as soon as he heard it, and his emotions suddenly rose to a higher level.
Old Man Fan waved his hands, and Zong Yin's Nascent Soul Ring was separated from his hand. Like the previous two Nascent Soul Rings, it turned into a pile of fragments. The fragments of the three Nascent Soul Rings merged together, and soon a brand new Nascent Soul Ring was re-produced. The debris that had been suspended in mid-air earlier all entered the new Nascent Soul Ring.
"If you have any more questions in the future, come find me on the top floor of the Book Pavilion. This nameplate will guarantee your smooth passage within the pavilion."
He casually tossed the ring to Zong Yin, and Old Man Fan smiled kindly before turning into a wisp of black smoke along with Ye Feng, disappearing together. It seemed they had gone to think of ways to decipher the cryptic language in that book.
He took a glance at the brand new Nà Jiè, and found that both its texture and internal space had changed greatly. However, Zhōng Yǐn still somewhat reluctantly put it on his hand. He didn't have any good feelings towards this thing that was equivalent to a tracker. After collecting his emotions, Zhōng Yǐn headed out.
Lan Xin's little loli had been gazing far away in this direction, and now that she saw the two leave, she immediately ran over to Zong Yin.
"Hum! What did Master and Old Man Fan say to you just now? It's so mysterious that even I'm not allowed to hear it!"
Lan Xin stared at Zong Yin with a resentful expression, as if he was the one responsible for everything.
"Hey, we're talking about some men's topics that girls can't hear. Don't mention those things, look at this."
Zong Yin casually brushed off Lan Xin's words and took out a damaged seal from his pocket.
Lan Xin originally wanted to continue asking, but as soon as he saw Zong Yin's sealed technique manual, his eyes lit up with a keen glint, and his earlier doubts were thrown far away, once again pouncing on him.
Zong Yin had gained experience this time, and his movements were no longer the same as before. As soon as Lan Xin made a move, he had already put away the Sealing Technique Manual. Zong Yin transferred the manual from his left hand to his right hand, then from his right hand back to his left hand, with Lan Xin's gaze following the manual's movement all along.
"This is actually Red Star's finishing move, and it's a soul technique that isn't even recorded in the 'Soul Technique Encyclopedia'!"
Upon seeing such a scene, Zong Yi's heart was already filled with joy. As soon as he received the sealed technique manual, he exclaimed in an extremely exaggerated tone, talking to himself.
"I'll trade you something for it! You name what you want and I'll give it to you!"
Lan Xin was naive, but at this moment she also understood that getting the sealed technique manual would require some cost, and her eyes were filled with fervent heat as she spoke.
