16: Sensible Tongzi

"Holy Son Candidate, do you need us two brothers to help you?"

"No need."

Facing the enthusiasm of the two Disciples, Lin Ye shook his head.

Since they hadn't noticed the presence of the Dao Bone, it meant there must be something on that Cultivator's body obscuring his Qi.

He had originally thought he just needed to follow the plot and become the Son of Destiny, but he had still underestimated the cruelty of the Cultivation world.

On the surface, they said they would take him as a Disciple, but in reality, they sent people to dig out his bone for transplantation. They certainly had a good plan.

Since that was the case, it was perfectly suitable for him to deal with these people himself.

With this thought, Lin Ye waved his hand, and powerful spiritual energy directly enveloped the several 'zongzi' on the ground, bringing them into the wooden house. He also walked inside.

Bang!

Upon entering the wooden house, he tightly closed the door.

The two Disciples looked at each other.

"Should we leave here first?"

"The Saint said to let us see how the Holy Son Candidate handles these people. We just need to wait. Even if the Saint wants to kill them, shouldn't we clean up the bodies?"

"That's true, we just need to wait!"

"..."

Lin Ye didn't pay attention to what the two Disciples outside were saying.

After he entered the wooden house, he found the entire room to be very simple: a wooden table, wooden chairs, and a wooden bed. Madam Miao was truly living a retirement life in the Immortal Realm.

The fragrant aroma permeating the air was refreshing.

However, thinking about his Dao Bone being dug out, Lin Ye's expression completely darkened.

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

The Cultivators struggled continuously, but their spiritual energy was sealed, and they had been given a muscle-relaxing powder, making them even weaker than ordinary people. Let alone breaking free from the ropes, they couldn't even twist their bodies.

Swish... A flash of Sword Qi.

The cloth over one female Cultivator's mouth was cut open.

However, Lin Ye forgot that his Cultivation had already increased and he didn't control his strength for a moment. The Sword Qi directly cut open the female Cultivator's mouth, making her look like a slit-mouthed woman now.

"Ah!!!"

A scream echoed through the wooden house.

The two Disciples outside shivered when they heard the sound.

Lin Ye was startled at first, then squatted down, extended two fingers, and touched the corner of the female Cultivator's mouth. Gentle spiritual energy surged out.

Buzz... Although the wound didn't heal, it had a pain-relieving effect. The female Cultivator slowly calmed down, her eyes filled with terror.

"My apologies, I didn't control my strength well."

Lin Ye first expressed his apology, then gently said, "I ask, you answer, okay?"

"..."

The female Cultivator didn't speak, still looking at Lin Ye with that terrified expression.

Swish... A flash of Sword Qi, and the female Cultivator's head was directly sliced in half. Her stark white teeth were exposed, looking extremely horrifying, and red and white splattered all over the surrounding Cultivators.

They twisted even more violently.

"Sigh... Wouldn't it be better to cooperate with me?"

Lin Ye calmly wiped his hand on the female Cultivator's body, then repeated the trick, cutting open the cloth over another male Cultivator's mouth.

"I ask, you answer, okay?"

"Yes, yes, yes! You ask, you ask, I'll tell you everything!"

The male Cultivator was clearly terrified, his speech becoming a stutter.

"That's good, you're more sensible."

Lin Ye pointed to the person with the Dao Bone, smiling, "Who is he?"

"He is Li Yunfei, the son of the Sect Master of Feihu Sect!"

"Hmm, then why does he have my things on him, do you know?"

"Your things?"

The male Cultivator's eyes widened. He never expected that Lin Ye would notice.

"Sigh, still not cooperating, it seems."

Lin Ye saw the male Cultivator frozen there, extended his sword-finger, and with a flash of Sword Qi, the man's head was also separated from his body.

At this moment, three people remained on the ground: an old man, Li Yunfei, and another female Cultivator.

"Elders and children first. There are no children now, so let's start with you."

Lin Ye once again cut open the cloth over the mouth of the leading old man, smiling, "Let's start with the previous question. Tell me, why does he have my things on him?"

"He is Li Yunfei, the Young Lord of Feihu Sect. Several Sects near Yu City have allied to strengthen their own forces. They all want a top Genius to emerge from their own forces. The original candidate was you, but the Sect Master of Feihu Sect felt that outsiders were not trustworthy."

"So, while you were out on an experience, they dug out your Dao Bone!"

The old man seemed afraid that speaking too slowly would get him killed by Lin Ye, so he quickly blurted out everything in one breath.

"Oh~ So that's how it is."

Lin Ye nodded, "You look a bit familiar. Tell me, who dug out my bone?"

"It wasn't me! Absolutely not me! I was Cultivating inside the Sect that day. How could I possibly ambush you at the Fire Snake Cave?"

"Hmm... I didn't say it was Fire Snake Cave, why are you so quick to explain?"

"I, I'm scared." The old man cried, snot and tears streaming down his face. In his daily life, he lived a life of luxury in the Sect, practically an emperor in that remote place of Yu City. Seeing his life in danger, how could he bear it?

Just then, a hint of blood flashed in Lin Ye's eyes: "Do you know, when my bone was dug out, that feeling, tsk tsk tsk... it was really too painful."

Ding dong... Congratulations to the Host for successfully Sign in at Revered Master's wooden house.

Reward obtained: Nine Soul-Snatching Nails (Note: Like maggots on bone, they instantly penetrate the bone marrow upon entering the human body, cannot be removed, will make the person suffer all the hardships of the world, and cannot seal Meridians or Qi Sea, nor self-detonate.)

The System is sensible!

Lin Ye suddenly felt the System's obedience.

Giving a pillow when one is sleepy.

As a Son of Destiny, having some methods of torment is very normal!!! Absolutely very normal!

With a flash of dark light in his hand, nine Soul-Snatching Nails directly pierced into the old man's body.

"Ah!!!!!"

An unprecedented scream rang out, startling the two Disciples waiting outside. How much pain must he be enduring to scream like that?

The Holy Son Candidate is terrifying, still saying he's not a pervert?!

Listening to the old man's screams, a hint of enjoyment actually flashed across Lin Ye's face, but it quickly returned to normal.

"Too noisy."

Swish... A flash of the sword-finger, and the old man's tongue was directly cut off. He spat blood from his mouth, his eyes wide, screaming silently.

At this moment, Li Yunfei and the female Cultivator had filth flowing down their pants. Clearly, they were terrified.

"I've learned everything I wanted to know. You two..."

Lin Ye sat on the only chair in the wooden house, seemingly contemplating how to deal with the two.

After a short while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh right, what do you think, if a head is cut off and then immediately reattached, can it live? I've only experimented on Vicious Beasts before, and only once on a human, so I couldn't get detailed data. This time, I'll use you two."

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

The two twisted frantically, their eyes filled with pleading.

But at this moment, Lin Ye's mind was clearly occupied by the thirst for knowledge. He formed his palm into a sword-finger and walked forward.
