Chapter 18: Chapter 18 :The Third Force
Lin Xing followed Mei'er from a distance and arrived at a secluded inn in the town.
Not to mention the great temptation of the martial arts on this woman, just because she had bullied Jin Ping'er countless times, Lin Xing wouldn't let her go easily!
Lin Xing concentrated and listened intently. After reaching the fifth level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao, his eyesight and hearing had improved significantly. The conversation between the inn - keeper and Mei'er entered his ears without missing a single word.
"Miss, are you staying at the inn?"
"I want the best room!"
"Our inn doesn't have many good rooms as the business is poor."
"Things change, and man can conquer nature. The present doesn't represent the future."
Huh?
Mei'er's sudden display of erudition caught Lin Xing off - guard.
Could there be some hidden secrets? Lin Xing looked inside.
The inn - keeper leaned forward, his voice so soft that it was barely audible. At the same time, he cautiously looked around. "Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow, no door to enter."
"When the hundred flowers bloom, all things come to life! Under the Profound Door, the Hundred - Flower Valley!" "Room No. 3 in the Heaven - class..."
"..."
Lin Xing listened to their conversation in the corner, and the more he heard, the more shocked he became!
Behind this Mei'er, there was actually a huge organization!
The Hundred - Flower Valley, with its huge profits, directly affected the income of the Hehuan Sect. In the Demonic Sect, it could be regarded as a top - tier third - rate power.
However, the Hundred - Flower Valley was just the tip of the iceberg of this huge organization!
Judging from the conversation, there seemed to be four major gates: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow!
And the Hundred - Flower Valley was subordinate to the Profound Door!
Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!!!
Lin Xing cursed all the deities in the Zhuxian world one by one!!
Just the combination of the Beast God and Shura already made him tremble with fear. Now there was this mysterious third force. Wasn't this making it impossible for people to live?!
Damn it!!
But there was no time to complain now. Perhaps after the Shura disaster, this hidden big BOSS would emerge. The Qingyun Sect, the place of refuge, had always been plagued by disasters. All kinds of evil forces kept attacking it. There was a risk that it might be destroyed someday.
Lin Xing made up his mind to find out the truth!
Time passed quickly, and Lin Xing waited patiently.
Two hours after Mei'er entered the inn, she came out again. She changed into a clean purple dress, carried a purple fairy sword on her back, and hurried north.
Lin Xing carried forward the spirit of "stalking" and quietly followed.
There was a game called "Stalking", right? It seemed quite lewd...
After winding around and around, Lin Xing was made dizzy. Suddenly, a coquettish shout came from the front, and the purple fairy sword stabbed straight at his chest.
Fuck! How was I discovered?
With a wave of his right hand, a cyan Taiji diagram emerged, perfect and without the slightest flaw. After days of comprehending the Heavenly Book, Lin Xing's Taiji Xuanqing Dao had become more and more proficient, exuding the charm of the unity of man and nature everywhere.
With a "bang", Mei'er's purple sword was bounced back. Lin Xing rushed forward, and several Taiji diagrams were thrown out, overlapping one after another. The pressure made Mei'er breathless.
In terms of cultivation, Mei'er, equivalent to the fourth - level cultivation of Taiji Xuanqing Dao, was already weaker than Lin Xing. Coupled with her unhealed old injuries, she was no match for Lin Xing at all.
Mei'er's expression became solemn. Suddenly, her steps were light and graceful, and the purple light on the sword criss - crossed. Several sword strikes concentrated on one point, seemingly about to break through the Taiji diagram.
But Lin Xing was not Biyao. He wouldn't give her a chance to show her skills. Keeping her under tight suppression, not allowing her any opportunity, this was Lin Xing's concept of fighting against enemies.
The three - tomoe in the Sharingan slowly rotated, and Mei'er's moves froze for a moment. Lin Xing seized the opportunity and punched out. Chakra circulated in his body, and spiritual energy intertwined on his fist. This powerful blow, like thunder, bypassed the long sword and hit Mei'er's chest heavily.
Adding to her existing injuries, Mei'er spat out another mouthful of bright - red blood. She looked at Lin Xing with charming eyes, making her last - ditch effort.
"Give up. In terms of enchanting techniques, I'm even better than you."
Mei'er looked at Lin Xing in horror and stepped back in fear.
"Tell me... tell me..."
"What's behind you... behind you..."
"The organization... the organization..."
Lin Xing used a move called "Soul - Seizing and Spirit - Capturing" from the Enchanting Heart Sutra, combined with the mental method. Mei'er looked at him with empty eyes, as if her soul had been taken away.
"I, I!" Although this woman was coquettish in appearance, her will was unexpectedly firm. She kept struggling and resisting. Despite being seriously injured, she resisted Lin Xing's interrogation with her own willpower alone.
Lin Xing felt a chill in his heart.
Just from this woman, it could be seen that that organization was extraordinary. The Demonic Sect was nothing compared to it!
This strengthened Lin Xing's determination to interrogate!
Streams of spiritual energy flowed along the meridians into the blood - red Sharingan. The three - tomoe in the Sharingan rotated together, emitting a faint blue glow.
Using spiritual energy instead of chakra to activate the Sharingan was more suitable for the use of Daoist magic.
"Tell me... everything about your organization!"
Mei'er's eyes became a little brighter from being empty, and she seemed more energetic.
However, there was an additional sense of dullness.
"Our organization..."
What she said made Lin Xing tremble with fear.
Mei'er's organization was neither righteous nor evil, and had no concept of good or bad. Obedience was the only standard of this organization!
They were affiliated with the imperial court!
Since the prevalence of the practice of immortality, the imperial power had gradually declined. Now, the common people almost only knew about the Qingyun Sect and didn't know who the emperor was.
Who was the current emperor? Lin Xing had never heard anyone mention it in the past few years.
However, the royal family was still the royal family, with its profound heritage. What they lacked were prestige and talents. So, hundreds of years ago, this organization called "Longyin" was established.
Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, each had its own responsibilities.
The Heaven Gate consisted of the elite of the elite, the highest - level combat power of Longyin, and rarely took action.
The Earth Gate was slightly weaker in strength but had more members. It was responsible for difficult tasks such as assassinations and sneak - attacks.
The Profound Gate was the largest branch. They either established sects or opened martial arts halls, spreading all over the Shenzhou Continent. The total number of people was a terrifying figure!
The last Yellow Gate was the weakest in strength but an important part. Inn - keepers, fortune - tellers, etc., were everywhere. Gathering intelligence and controlling public opinion were the responsibilities of the Yellow Gate.
It could be imagined that once the entire Longyin emerged, it would form a tripartite confrontation with the righteous and demonic sects! Even more terrifying because of its strong concealment.
"Fortunately, Longyin won't make major moves within twenty years." Lin Xing heaved a sigh of relief. In twenty years, if I awaken the Rinnegan and learn the five volumes of the Heavenly Book, who cares about you? Bah!
Lin Xing couldn't help but imagine himself holding the Mysterious Fire Talisman in his left hand, the Zhu Xian Sword in his right hand, and the Hehuan Bell hanging from his waist. With the eight - direction mysterious fire, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, and all - pervasive illusions!
Damn it! As long as I have time to plan slowly, what's there to be afraid of?!
By then, I'll be able to take on tens of thousands of people alone, with a charming demeanor, charming thousands of girls, and fully demonstrating the advantages of a transmigrator!
A silver - white stream of saliva dripped from Lin Xing's chin, swaying in the wind...
