416: Haoran Sword

And they would be drained dry before dying?

This kind of death is simply terrifying to the extreme!

Even though they are all heinous villains, none of them want to experience this way of dying.

Didn't Lin Ye hate their noise before? It wouldn't hurt to just shut up!

Unlike the noisy main hall from before, the entire hall became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard; even the sound of breathing had vanished.

Lin Ye sat cross-legged on the ground, sealing all the Luck and spiritual energy he had absorbed from that person into his Qi Sea; there was no rush to digest it until he went out.

After all, there were still so many "fruits" in here.

The red light in Lin Ye's eyes grew stronger, and the smile on his face was extremely eerie. The sinners who were looking at Lin Ye through the small holes all involuntarily took a step back, pressing their backs tightly against the walls.

After all, they were a group of sinners. No matter how luxurious the main hall was built, they only possessed tiny prison cells, so small that they couldn't even lie down.

If they had previously hated the people of the Academy for treating them like livestock, leaving only a small hole in the room...

…then now, they wished they could seal that small hole shut!

Lin Ye stood up, looked around, and walked directly toward the next prison cell.

"You, you, you..."

The person inside was instantly stunned upon seeing Lin Ye arrive, stammering the word "you" three times in a row.

Pfft!

The third one...

Pfft!

The fourth one...

Congratulations to the host for killing...

Obtained Demon-Slaying Points...

...

Lin Ye had gone on a killing spree, walking from one to the next, continuously slaughtering those people.

Curses rang out once more, but this time, the tone of those sinners was filled with absolute fear.

Lin Ye paid them no mind, completely ignoring how everyone was cursing or begging.

For two whole days, Lin Ye did not come out.

Wang Beiwang told Liu Yao and the others that Lin Ye had gone deep into the Academy to discuss Dao with the masters, and he would surely come out in a few days.

Liu Yao did not doubt it.

Because Lin Ye had specifically told her about it before he left.

Several masters were watching the dark and silent prison from above in the Void Realm.

"I told you, no matter how powerful his Upright Qi is, he still won't be able to make that sword acknowledge him as its master in a short time!"

"Hahahaha! It seems he really did Cultivate his Upright Qi through a special method; it will soon be ours!"

"I just don't know if three days will be enough!"

"He must be worrying about that sword right now, right? If he can't make that sword acknowledge him as its master, it doesn't matter; we'll just bring him out when the time is up."

"..."

The masters wore smiles; they had been observing Lin Ye from the shadows ever since he arrived at the Academy.

Seeing how arrogant Lin Ye was toward the people of the Academy, they were also furious, but at that time, they had no way to teach Lin Ye a lesson.

Now it was fine.

There was no need for them to teach him a lesson at all; Lin Ye must be inside right now, completely helpless before that sword, right?

Whenever the masters thought about Lin Ye walking out a day later with a dejected face, they felt a surge of great satisfaction.

"That brat is arrogant and conceited; it's time he was taught a lesson! Let him know that my Xuanyang Academy is not a place where he can run wild!"

"We are generous enough, aren't we? We displayed the Academy's Supreme treasure to him without any reservations; if he can't take it, that's his problem!"

"..."

The masters were extremely smug in the Void Realm.

Little did they know that Lin Ye had already had his fill of devouring in that prison!

He had devoured the entire first level of the prison, and now a Dao fruit had even formed within his Qi Sea.

That was everything from the sinners in this level of the prison.

He had also made a huge profit in Demon-Slaying Points.

The System hadn't spoken at all; he didn't know if it had gone out to discuss Dao or if it was busy bullying the Sign in function, but he didn't need it right now, so Lin Ye naturally didn't communicate with it.

After the last person was absorbed, Lin Ye walked slowly toward the depths of the main hall.

He could feel that as he continued to devour, the aura that was attracting him had also undergone a slight change.

He didn't know how long he had walked in the darkness before Lin Ye saw a glimmer of light ahead; that light was extremely familiar.

Upright Qi?

Swish!

Lin Ye's figure flashed, and he arrived directly in a room. This room connected to the main hall, and at the end, there was a door. Through the door, he could feel an eerie aura from behind it.

Presumably, true powerhouses were imprisoned there.

As for that door, Lin Ye had no intention of pushing it open. After all, he had absorbed enough, and whether he could devour the powerhouses behind that door was another matter entirely.

And...

Lin Ye had already been captivated by a sword before his eyes.

On an altar in the room, a sword was inserted vertically. The sword was extremely ancient and simple, radiating an aura of time. The blade was snow-white, and one could vaguely see a trace of the sword's sharpness.

More importantly, the sword erupted with an Upright Qi that could cleanse the universe!

This was a Haoran Sword.

And its grade was definitely not low; even if it wasn't an Imperial Weapon, it was at least a Supreme Artifact.

Lin Ye walked slowly to the front of the Haoran Sword and reached out a hand. At this moment, his Upright Qi halo activated directly.

Boom!!!

Upright Qi illuminated the entire room in snow-white light, and that door began to tremble crazily. Fortunately, the door was extremely sturdy; otherwise, if it had been shattered by this Upright Qi...

...then Lin Ye didn't know how many powerhouses' pressure he would have to face.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Lin Ye gripped the hilt tightly.

He knew that although the sword before him was a Supreme treasure, the aura it emitted clearly indicated it had a spirit! A treasure with a spirit could freely choose its master.

Presumably, the people of Xuanyang Academy had placed this sword here specifically to attract his arrival.

But they didn't really want to hand this sword over to him; just look but not touch?

Lin Ye's white clothes fluttered, moving without wind, and the aura on his body continued to surge.

He had prepared everything, determined to subdue this Haoran Sword.

He narrowed his eyes, grabbed the hilt with one hand, and pulled back with all his strength.

Boom!

The altar was directly shattered by Sword Qi, and Lin Ye's figure slammed directly into the wall, causing a crack to appear on it.

Even the corner of Lin Ye's mouth was slightly bleeding.

"Hmm?"

Lin Ye looked at the Haoran Sword in his hand in disbelief. He had just used all his strength, but the sword hadn't resisted at all and was pulled out directly.

It was as if he had punched a pile of cotton.

This was also the reason why he had flown backward; it wasn't the sword's power that knocked him back, but rather he had used too much force himself, causing him to fly backward.

"So simple?"

Feeling the sense of joy from the sword, Lin Ye was a bit confused. What was the meaning of Xuanyang Academy placing a sword that could be so easily claimed here?

Or was there some other secret to this sword?
