415: Go to the forbidden area

Night fell.

Outside Lin Ye's room, Tang Xueqin, dressed in icy blue robes, appeared at some point, her teeth biting her lower lip.

She reached out a jade hand, wanting to knock on the door, but withdrew it several times.

Her pretty face was full of hesitation; she had no idea how to bring it up.

Sigh...

Tang Xueqin took a deep breath. She was just here to catch up with Lin Ye! That's right! Just to catch up! She hadn't finished saying what she wanted to say during the day!

Since she couldn't bring herself to knock and didn't know what to say, she would just go in.

Besides, he was a grown man; there was nothing she couldn't see, right?

Thinking this, a hint of expectation seemed to appear in her beautiful eyes. She placed her hand on the door and pushed it open suddenly.

However, after pushing the door open, the room was empty. This made her feel both relieved that she hadn't seen anything, and somewhat disappointed.

"Huh? Where is he?"

Meanwhile, in front of the academy's Forbidden Ground, a figure stood.

This person was Lin Ye, and his face carried a hint of understanding.

As the Forbidden Ground of Xuanyang Academy, there was absolutely no one guarding the inside; it was practically an invitation to enter.

But why were the people in the academy so certain that the thing he needed was inside?

Lin Ye looked at the black building in front of him and decided to go in and take a look.

Since he was already here, it would be a pity not to go in.

Lin Ye placed both hands on the black gates.

Hum...

The black gates flashed with dark light, and the next moment, Lin Ye's figure disappeared.

High in the firmament, several masters stood in the Void Realm. Seeing Lin Ye disappear, their faces carried a hint of triumph.

"I told you, if we put that thing inside, he would definitely go in."

"We only need to let him stay inside for a few days, and when Lan Beiye arrives, we can proceed to the next step of the plan."

"But is it really okay? If we give that thing to Lin Ye, we might..."

"What are you afraid of? It's just placing that thing on Lin Ye temporarily. Once we take him down, we can retrieve it at any time."

"That's true..."

When Lin Ye opened his eyes again, he had arrived in a vast, empty hall.

The dark light on the gate earlier had been a teleportation array.

He didn't even need to open the door; he could be teleported directly inside the building.

"No wonder it's called a prison. There aren't even any doors; it's quite secure..."

Lin Ye walked through the empty hall. It was dim and dark, and even the Qi in the air was extremely thin.

Clearly, this was a sealed place, intended to ensure that the sinners imprisoned within had no hope of escaping.

Tap, tap, tap...

In the empty hall, Lin Ye's footsteps were exceptionally clear.

Before he had walked long, he arrived in front of a wall engraved with various patterns that were unclear. In the center of the patterns was a circular hole.

Looking closely, an eye appeared in the hole, bloodshot and staring intently at Lin Ye.

Boom!!!

The entire wall let out a loud noise.

"Let me out!!!"

A hoarse voice rang out, and immediately after, the entire hall echoed with overlapping sounds—cursing, screaming, and pleading.

The cells housing these sinners only left a small hole to see outside, and like the rest of the hall, there were no doors.

Boom, boom, boom...

Many sinners were constantly pounding on the walls, and threads of malice constantly washed over Lin Ye.

If it were someone with a weak Dao Heart, feeling these threads of killing intent—even without any suppression from Qi—their Divine Soul would likely tremble, and they would become an idiot on the spot.

But for Lin Ye, who walked the path of slaughter, this meant nothing.

Lin Ye was carefully sensing the aura that attracted him, but the hall was becoming noisier and noisier.

His face gradually showed impatience. The next moment, he opened his eyes and said coldly, "Shut up, all of you! Otherwise, I'll slaughter every one of you!"

"..."

Hearing Lin Ye's voice, the hall went quiet for a moment, and then the noise grew even louder.

"Little beast! Slaughter me? Just based on you? If you let me out, I'll bite you to pieces, one bite at a time!"

"Which academy are you a Disciple of? How dare you threaten us?"

"Heh... I advise you to honestly let us out, otherwise, when we get out, you'll have a hard time!"

"I'm going to kill you! Kill you!!!"

The corners of Lin Ye's mouth curled up slightly, and a trace of red light appeared in his eyes. On his face, the faint phantom of a ghost mask appeared.

He walked to one of the cells. Through the small hole, he could clearly see the sinner inside staring viciously at him, his blood-red eyes filled with brutality.

It was he who had just spoken about biting Lin Ye to pieces.

"Little beast, you..."

Puff!!!

Before that person could finish speaking, Lin Ye directly thrust the Spirit Sword in his hand through the small hole.

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out.

Following immediately after was a scream.

Lin Ye's sword pierced directly through his eye, and Lin Ye's hand kept twisting, letting the blade frantically mince everything inside the sinner's head.

The sound of mincing meat rang out, and the smile on Lin Ye's face grew deeper.

Just at this moment, threads of red light gradually entered Lin Ye's body along the blade.

An expression of enjoyment appeared on his face.

Congratulations to the Host for killing...

Obtained Slayer Points...

Bang!

After absorbing all of that person's blood, Qi, and energy, Lin Ye withdrew his Spirit Sword. That person turned into a dried corpse and fell to the ground.

The entire hall instantly fell into dead silence.

"Th-this... is a Disciple of Xuanyang Academy?!"

"Bullshit, he is clearly a Devil Head. Isn't this a Demonic Technique?! He devoured that person!"

"If he is a Devil Head, how did he get into this Xuanyang Academy?"

"I knew Xuanyang Academy wasn't anything good; they actually pass down Demonic Techniques to their own Disciples?! How absurd!"

The look of enjoyment on Lin Ye's face just now made everyone in the surrounding cells shiver.

Their previous cursing and bullying of the academy's Disciples was because, occasionally, academy Disciples would come here to deliver Medicinal Pills; sinners were sinners, but they couldn't let them die.

Every Disciple who came here to deliver Medicinal Pills would have a withered Dao Heart after leaving and would be unable to Cultivate for a period of time.

But most were just outer academy Disciples, which didn't have much impact on Xuanyang Academy.

So these sinners became increasingly arrogant. Every time an academy Disciple arrived, they would scare the other party until their Dao Heart shattered.

As a result, a Devil Head had arrived today?!

They began to miss the previous academy Disciples who were full of benevolence and morality; at least their lives wouldn't be threatened.
