73: This is the word of justice

Lin Ye frowned. He was somewhat puzzled; the high ground he had come to was extremely secluded. How exactly had the other party found him?

Furthermore, why come to the vicinity of the Righteous Qi Sect to search for people from the Blissful Demon Sect?

It was as absurd as going to a monk temple to find a woman.

At this moment, he had been deep in thought about those memories that had been under a Seal, so he had no intention of killing them directly.

"Everyone, you have mistaken me for someone else. I am a Disciple of the Righteous Qi Sect. If you want to slay demons, go find them yourselves. I have no time to deal with you right now."

"Yo, yo, yo..."

One of the Cultivators mocked, "Are you taking us for idiots?"

"Hmm?"

Lin Ye's gaze turned cold. "What do you mean by that?"

"Hehe..."

The Cultivator sneered, "A Cultivator of the Righteous Qi Sect? Don't tell me you are a remnant of that Sect destroyed by the Supreme Bliss Holy Land many years ago."

"And 'Righteous Qi Sect' at that? Even our Academy wouldn't dare use 'Zhengqi' in its name. What qualifications do you have to do so?! Simply..."

Swish!

While he was still speaking, Lin Ye's figure suddenly appeared before him.

"You..."

The Cultivator was startled and instinctively took a step back. Before he could react, a Spirit Sword was already pressed against his neck.

"How bold!"

"Release my Junior Brother!"

"People of the Demonic Path must be slain by all! If you dare to harm a Disciple of our Academy, I guarantee that in all the lands under heaven, there will be no place left for you to hide!"

"Release him, and we can pretend we were never here!"

Several Cultivators all summoned their Magic Treasures, watching Lin Ye warily.

In that instant just now, they hadn't seen clearly at all how the other party's figure had appeared before their Junior Brother.

He was simply like a ghost. With such speed, wouldn't it be too easy for him to kill them?

Originally, upon arriving at the Supreme Bliss Holy Land, they had been somewhat fearful of the people from the Demonic Sect, so they had snuck out privately.

They had just happened to encounter a figure standing on this high ground.

They thought the other party was also one of those cowardly demonic Cultivators who had hidden here after learning of their Academy's arrival. They wanted to tease him, find an opportunity to slay a demon, and then boast about it when they returned.

Who would have thought that this person was not a soft persimmon.

Now, they only wanted to leave this place quickly and find the Teachers from their Academy.

"Wait... wait..."

Just as the atmosphere was tense, one of the Cultivators suddenly spoke up.

He looked at Lin Ye with eyes full of terror.

Then he said tremblingly, "I seem to remember that when the Teachers set out, they said the target for this time was a youth in red clothes carrying a bronze coffin. Could it be..."

"What?!"

"Impossible!!!"

The fellow Cultivators shouted out instantly.

What kind of joke was this? They had snuck away from the team precisely because they were cowardly, and yet they had encountered the main target?

That savage demon Lin Ye who liked to eat people?!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

None of them were willing to accept this fact and shouted loudly that it was impossible.

"You recognize me?"

Lin Ye took a step forward, and in the instant he withdrew his sword, he thrust it forward again.

Pfft!

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out.

The blade sank into the man's shoulder.

"Ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed across the high ground, causing Lin Ye to frown.

I just stabbed your shoulder; why are you acting like you've been castrated, yelling aimlessly like this?

Already annoyed, Lin Ye swung his sword casually, and the man was split in two on the spot.

This turn of events left the fellow Cultivators stunned on the spot.

Such a style! That was definitely the savage demon Lin Ye without a doubt!

Thinking of this, they turned around and intended to run. As for staying to join forces and fight Lin Ye? Even if they were given several guts, they wouldn't dare!

But the moment they turned around, they saw Spirit Swords standing in the air, their tips pointed at their heads. Obviously, if they continued to run, they would be pierced by those Spirit Swords.

"Grandpa Lin Ye!!!"

One of the Cultivators immediately turned around and knelt, crying with snot and tears running down his face.

His appearance was as miserable as it could possibly be.

This left his companions completely dumbfounded. They knew he was afraid of death, and they were, of course, just as afraid of death, but wasn't his reaction too fast?!

What a talent!

Seeing this man kneel directly before him, Lin Ye inwardly exclaimed, "What a talent!"

A saying from Blue Star suddenly came to mind.

If you provoke me, you've really provoked a soft persimmon!

This was too soft.

However, such a person was easier to question.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye walked up and said softly, "You recognize me?"

"Yes, yes!"

The Cultivator kneeling on the ground nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. If he weren't a Cultivator, such crazy nodding would probably make his spine creak.

"Speak up then, how did you come to know of me?"

In Lin Ye's view, the rumors about him circulating outside were nothing more than things like 'eliminating demons and defending the Dao,' 'person of justice,' or some 'rising star of the Righteous Path.'

After all, he was a Son of Destiny; his reputation outside certainly wouldn't be bad.

Blocking the beast tide, and attacking demonic Cultivators directly at the gathering in the Little Southern Kingdom—hadn't this persona of hating evil established itself?

Who would have thought that the next moment, Lin Ye would almost go berserk.

The Cultivator spoke cautiously, "Lin, Grandpa Lin, your reputation has now spread throughout the entire Southern Region. Everyone says you are a Prodigy of the Demonic Path, a rising star, and in the future, you will definitely become a generation of Demon Lord, suppressing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, bra..."

Swish!!!

Before he could finish speaking, a sword light flashed through, directly slicing off a corner of the high ground.

Accompanied by a rumbling sound, the sliced-off corner fell into the forest below, crushing who knew how many Vicious Beasts.

Looking at Lin Ye again, his eyes had turned red.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Who said I am of the Demonic Path?! Which ignorant bastard is it? I'm going to go slaughter him!"

"Can't you tell from this upright face of mine? Are you blind? If so, then don't bother keeping those eyes either!!!"

"Ah???"

The few Cultivators opened their mouths, their heads full of question marks.

What had they just heard?

Upright? Who is upright? You are upright!!!

If you are upright, then are there any demonic Cultivators left in this world?

They had never heard of a savage demon who ate people calling himself a person of justice. Was this Lin Ye perhaps sick in the head?

Have you ever heard of an upright person constantly gouging out people's eyeballs?

"Say it again for me! What kind of person am I?!"

"..."

The Cultivator kneeling on the ground didn't know what to say. He was almost scared to the point of wetting himself. The murderous intent on Lin Ye, combined with those blood-red eyes, made it seem as if he was about to eat him alive.

Besides, what did he want him to say? That he was an upright person? What a joke! As Cultivators, even if they died, they could not speak such words against their conscience!

Swish!!!

When the sword light flashed before his eyes again, the Cultivator lying on the ground instantly became serious. "You are a person of justice!"

"You must absolutely not force yourself..."

"Not forced at all, these are words of justice!"

Lin Ye nodded with satisfaction.
