8: Are you from Zhengqimen?

"Ah, so it was to secure it!" The System breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Ye, on the other hand, looked at his handiwork with satisfaction, chuckling.

"Don't laugh, buddy, I'm scared!" The System said with a hint of a sob.

"What are you scared of, you fool? You're a villain System, why are you scared of me, a Son of Destiny?"

Lin Ye said disdainfully, "Aren't you supposed to help others kill and plunder innocent people like me? What are you scared of me for?"

"Ah? Who knew you were so twisted? Seriously, I'm done with you!"

"..."

Lin Ye subconsciously looked in the mirror again, and sure enough, him chuckling at a corpse did look a bit terrifying.

Was he naturally destined to be a villain?

No!

Damn you, old System, trying to mess with my Dao Heart! I am a Son of Destiny, someone favored by the Heavenly Dao, and my life can be described in three words.

Those words are: truth, kindness, and beauty!

How could I be twisted?

It's an illusion! Definitely an illusion!

Mm!

Lin Ye nodded vigorously.

He didn't notice that in the sky, a crow was constantly circling the area.

At the same time.

Inside a gloomy great hall.

A group of Cultivators, constantly emitting black Qi, stared dumbfounded at this scene.

"Damn it, this kid is too creepy, what's he doing? Is he talking to a corpse? And chuckling at it!"

"No, no, this is too scary. I've never seen such a brutal kid. What's he trying to do? After killing someone, he's going to put their head back on?"

"That smile on his face is too terrifying, even I, a Demonic Cultivator, am trembling!"

"Is an Innate Demon Body just naturally evil? This kid is born to join our Demonic Sect!"

"Exactly! Cultivating Demonic Technique requires such a Heart-Nature! Our Demonic Son finally has someone to inherit his mantle."

"A Golden Core Stage Cultivation is not bad. Quickly bring him back!"

"Do we, the Demonic Sect, really want to recruit such a twisted individual? I have a bad feeling about this."

"Two people go and approach him. The Golden Age is coming, and our Sect will have a Prodigy with an Innate Demon Body. Our rise is inevitable!"

"..."

Lin Ye, at this moment, naturally didn't know he was being watched.

He looked at the "building blocks" in front of him with satisfaction, then jumped out of the deep trench. He still had spoils of war to collect.

Killer bees could only deal with unprepared Cultivators; a casual Sword Qi could tear them apart.

So Lin Ye easily retrieved the Vermillion Fruit.

"Is this thing an Opportunity..."

Looking at the red fruit in front of him, Lin Ye didn't think much. He didn't know its effects yet, so he couldn't eat it blindly. He directly put the Vermillion Fruit into his qiankun ring.

He still needed to find the Righteous Qi Sect!

Otherwise, if people from the Sects near Yu City came after him, it might be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye didn't consider much, directly transforming into a streak of light and shooting towards the distance.

He had heard the roar of Vicious Beasts.

The previous battle must have attracted the attention of those Vicious Beasts. When the giant python was alive, its aura could deter those Vicious Beasts, as they were of the same origin and surely had a special way of communicating with each other.

But now that the giant python was dead, this place became ownerless territory.

Those Vicious Beasts would no longer have any reservations.

Lin Ye also didn't want to cause trouble. After all, the Vicious Beasts in the Ten Thousand Mountains were endless. If a few Nascent Soul Stage, or even Purple Mansion Stage Vicious Beasts came, he would be finished.

Whoosh... Lin Ye, transformed into a streak of light, moved extremely fast. After completely leaving that area, he dispersed his spiritual Qi and walked on foot.

After walking for several more days.

Lin Ye finally saw people again. Several black-robed Cultivators were dealing with Vicious Beasts blocking their way.

Now was the time to show truth, kindness, and beauty. Last time was a mistake! This time, there absolutely couldn't be any mistakes!

Lin Ye shot through the air like a sharp arrow, and upon entering the battlefield, sword light surged.

Those Vicious Beasts couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from him before turning into dust.

After all the Vicious Beasts were cleared away, Lin Ye smiled brightly at the surrounding Cultivators.

His smile made the few people's bodies stiffen.

Are you kidding? Before coming, they had seen the images given to them by the Holy Lord. The person in front of them was a pure twisted individual!

Although an Elder was hiding nearby, ready to rescue them if there was any danger, the bone-deep fear made them involuntarily tremble when facing Lin Ye.

"Hmm?"

Why aren't they thanking me?

Is my smile not friendly enough? No, that can't be right!

Lin Ye had completely forgotten that he had left in a hurry, and the bloodstains on his body hadn't been cleaned at all. There were also traces of blood on his face. Coupled with the fact that these people had all seen his "highlight" moment, Lin Ye's smile was simply a nightmare in their eyes.

Just as the few of them were trembling uncontrollably, Lin Ye spoke, "Why aren't you saying thank you?"

"Ah ah!!!"

The few of them suddenly understood and quickly walked in front of Lin Ye, bowing as low as possible.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for saving us! Your life-saving grace is simply impossible to repay! We were just stunned and forgot to thank you for a moment. Please don't take offense, Fellow Daoist!"

Mm!

That's right, they're quite polite, good people!

Lin Ye nodded, then smiled, "You don't have to be like this. I merely saw injustice and acted. Since you are all unharmed, I shall take my leave first."

With that, Lin Ye turned to leave.

"Fellow Daoist, wait!"

Seeing Lin Ye about to leave, the few Cultivators quickly spoke to stop him.

They were here to test Lin Ye! They had finally opened a conversation. Even if they were scared, they had to complete their mission!

Lin Ye turned his head and said in confusion, "Hmm? Do you still have something, everyone?"

"Fellow Daoist, my name is Wei Wuji, this is Cheng Wenlong, and this is Gong Yuxuan. We are all here for training. May I ask for Fellow Daoist's esteemed name?"

"Ah, no need to be so polite. My name is Lin Ye, and I plan to go to the Righteous Qi Sect to become a disciple."

"Righteous Qi Sect?!"

Hearing this name, the few people's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

"What's wrong? Brother Wei, is there a problem with the Righteous Qi Sect?" Lin Ye asked, puzzled.

"Cough cough... No problem, no problem. That's a good Sect. I just don't know how Brother Lin found out about this Sect. I remember the Righteous Qi Sect is very low-key." Wei Wuji feigned confusion.

The System didn't lie to me!

There really is a Righteous Qi Sect!

Seeing Wei Wuji's reaction, Lin Ye knew that this Righteous Qi Sect was not a figment of the System's imagination.

Seeing that the few people were still puzzled, Lin Ye didn't hide anything and directly said, "I learned about this Righteous Qi Sect from a friend. Righteous Qi Sect, listen, this name must belong to a Sect that upholds justice."

"We Cultivators should uphold the justice of the world. Isn't such a Sect worth joining?"

"..."

Seeing Lin Ye's righteous expression, Wei Wuji and the others were speechless.

Good heavens, if we hadn't seen what you did before, we brothers would have been fooled by your righteous demeanor.
