Chapter 310 - 78 Investigation

Chapter 310: Chapter 78 Investigation

Changle Village, Yunyin Sect’s small courtyard.

As the medicinal power within his body was fully transformed into True Yuan, stored in the apertures, Lin Yuan slowly stopped the circulation of Yuan Qi within his body.

"Not bad, now I have condensed sixty apertures, forty more to go to reach the goal of a hundred. Just over a month remaining, perfectly matching my initial estimate."

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the meditation mat, and after calculating, he felt increasingly confident about the arrival of the incense holder.

Moreover, the sixty apertures significantly boosted his power, not just by a little.

Each time he refined an aperture, it enhanced his Light Leaving State, combined with the Cleansing World Seal and catalyzed by Black Dragon Mixed Catalysis, achieving a nearly substantial state.

This means that compared to Xiang Feichen at that stage, he has achieved two qualitative leaps now.

In his current state, Lin Yuan is confident that his Light Leaving State should barely resist Xiang Feichen at his peak.

Thinking of this, he took out the ancient sword obtained from Ning Yi.

Clang.

The long sword was drawn from its sheath, and a sharp aura vibrated throughout the quiet room.

Lin Yuan stared at the faint fiery glow appearing on the sword, and his internal Yuan Qi moved along.

As his Yuan Qi continuously entered the sword, simultaneously, his soul involuntarily unfolded, accompanying the Yuan Qi into the sword.

Gaw gaw.

He seemed to hear the cries of fire ravens by his ears.

Lin Yuan’s expression changed slightly, carefully experiencing this sensation.

Accompanied by the unique ferocity of the fire ravens, Lin Yuan pondered slightly.

"A Spiritual Artifact, especially its spirit, can guide the shaping of the soul, even affecting one’s mind."

Lin Yuan’s eyes flashed, and he continued inputting Yuan Qi.

Three breaths later, under Lin Yuan’s deliberate control, the fire raven True Spirit within the sword finally appeared.

A pair of fierce eyes emerged instantly on the sword sheath, and then the fire raven’s form appeared, exactly like the fire raven he saw at the welcome ceremony.

The fire raven’s head was solid, like an eagle released from its cage, about to soar.

Ka.

A hand quietly burning with black flame unknowingly grabbed the fire raven by the neck.

The black flame continued to burn, instantly covering the fiery red flames of the True Spirit.

And as the hand gradually tightened.

The fire raven True Spirit seemed to sense some fatal threat, as countless flames suddenly ignited from it. Hidden wings within the sword suddenly flared out, trying to struggle.

Yet Lin Yuan’s eyes remained calm, and the black flame continued to burn.

Gaw gaw.

The fire raven suddenly displayed its claws, opened its wings, and fiercely tore at Lin Yuan’s spirit.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan sneered coldly, "Only a shred of True Spirit will; don’t think yourself a True Spirit."

In an instant, Lin Yuan cut off the supply of Yuan Qi, and simultaneously, his hand tightened harshly.

In that instant, the fire raven’s sharp and bright claws dulled. Only a highly aggressive will continually impacted his consciousness.

At this moment, Lin Yuan smiled faintly and tugged fiercely backward with his left hand.

Gah~!

Without the supply of Yuan Qi, how could the remaining True Spirit resist?

Like tearing a transparent thin membrane, the constantly changing True Spirit was like a thin silk scarf held in Lin Yuan’s hand.

The scarf seemed to have a life of its own, violently trembling in his hand, transforming into the shape of a fire raven, flapping its wings repeatedly, trying to escape Lin Yuan’s control.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan hesitated no longer and softly said, "Nine Chapters."

Fuelled by a swish!

The fiery red will of the True Spirit was dragged into the space of the Nine Chapters in an instant.

"Devour."

Following Lin Yuan’s command, countless roots appeared from the void, like sharp thorns, piercing into the fragment of fire red instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the consciousness of the True Spirit thoroughly dissipated.

Yet the Nine Chapters absorbed all of it, seemingly unchanged.

"A drop in the ocean, truly a drop in the ocean."

Lin Yuan sighed, looking at the tender bud atop the Nine Chapters’ vine leaves.

Now, he was still preoccupied with the imagined ancestral dragon.

"Even if I have to sell everything, I will derive the Sky Candle Dragon Brilliance Scripture."

Within the space, Lin Yuan’s expression was solemn as he resolved firmly in his heart.

After observing briefly, Lin Yuan finally withdrew from the Nine Chapters.

Looking at the long sword beside his feet, now rusted and akin to scrap metal, he reached out to take it, crushed it completely with both hands.

Without the Spiritual Artifact clue, Ning Yi’s death had nothing to do with him.

As Lin Yuan cultivated.

Liao Xingqian’s residence welcomed a person he had long anticipated.

"Finally here, huh."

Listening to the steward’s report, a dark hue appeared in his eyes as he moved out from the martial arts ground.

"Senior Brother Lu Angzhou, please come in."

Liao Xingqian warmly welcomed Lu Angzhou and his two companions into the parlor.

Lu Angzhou nodded, not concealing: "Ning Yi is missing; are you aware of this?"

Lu Angzhou spoke seemingly relaxed and casual, yet his gaze kept observing Liao Xingqian’s expression.

Upon hearing, Liao Xingqian was surprised and quickly said, "Senior Brother Ning Yi is missing? Wasn’t he at Liuzhuang?"

"He vanished shortly after being at Liuzhuang."

Carefully observing Liao Xingqian’s expression, Lu Angzhou knew the person was unaware.

"Now, all contact points have lost communication."

Lu Angzhou sighed slightly.

Ning Yi’s identity was unusual; for the past half month, he had been investigating this, even visiting Liuzhuang thrice.

Yet all was in vain.

Because of this, he even postponed the duel with Xu Yanhe from Jin City, leaving the Xuri Martial Academy’s named senior brother without face, facing doubts.

During Lu Angzhou’s bewilderment, Liao Xingqian casually remarked, "I recall that morning, Junior Brother Lin Yuan left, and then Senior Brother Chou and Senior Sister Qi Yu followed out."

"Senior Brother Ning Yi asked about Senior Sister’s whereabouts and then chased after them. You know, Senior Brother Ning cares deeply for Senior Sister Qi Yu." Liao Xingqian chuckled awkwardly.

At these words, Lu Angzhou’s aura suddenly exploded with killing intent: "You’re saying Ning Yi chased Qi Yu out?"

Liao Xingqian’s face immediately turned terrified, seemingly shocked by Lu Angzhou’s sudden display of killing intent, tremblingly saying: "Indeed, Senior Brother."

"Moreover, only Lin Yuan and Senior Sister Qi Yu returned that evening. No sight of the other two senior brothers."

Obtaining the confirmation, Lu Angzhou’s memory was once again awakened by this name.

Lin Yuan!

Patting Liao Xingqian’s shoulder, Lu Angzhou calmly said, "You’re good. If things are not going well in the Yunyin Sect, you can come to the Zhegwang Sect."

"Yes, yes," replied Liao Xingqian submissively.

Lu Angzhou nodded and turned to leave.

Staring at the departing figures, Liao Xingqian sneered internally: "Let them fight, fight to the death preferably."

"Lin Yuan, a mere pawn of the powerful."

"Damn! All should be damned!"

He went back into the hall, ignited a sandalwood stick, and inserted it into an incense burner.

And above the altar, a statue of Guanyin with smiling eyes quietly observed everything.

Along the return, Lu Angzhou’s expression darkened immensely upon learning about Ning Yi’s disappearance.

"Could Ning Yi’s disappearance be related to the Yunyin Sect?"

Lu Angzhou frowned deeply.

"Now that the true heir has arrived, the Second Disciple of Long-Brow Daoist, Zheng Gaoyang, suddenly returned. Could he have acted?"

"Yet Ning Yi possessed a Spiritual Artifact, even if unable to win, he should be able to protect himself. How could he possibly be killed?"

Lu Angzhou slightly shook his head, suppressing his suspicions: "Qi Yu will remain untouched for now. No matter what happens, first apprehend Lin Yuan and question him about that day’s events."

Thinking this, he turned and made his way towards Lin Yuan’s small courtyard.
