Chapter 254: Magic City Collector
Inside the cave!
The old man on the disc tried to stand up several times, but failed every time. Finally, he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Maybe this is God's will. Maybe God wants to destroy our God-level sect."
"Uncle Master, the divine sect will never be destroyed!" Zhao Yichun said in a deep voice.
The old man was stunned, then smiled and said, "Do you know why Master Uncle would practice this forbidden technique?"
"In order to break through to the Martial Saint realm!"
“You are wrong.” The old man sighed, “Twenty years ago, I asked a good friend in the cultivation world to do a divination for the God-level Sect. According to the divination, the God-level Sect will face a great disaster in twenty years, and only a martial saint can resolve this disaster.”
"And now, there are less than three years left before the twenty-year mark. I was so anxious that I forced a breakthrough, and ended up going astray. Everything I did was for the God-level Gate."
Zhao Yichun stared at the old man, who looked very calm.
"Zhao Yichun, did you hear what Uncle Master said? Uncle Master did all this for our Divine Sect!"
"Zhao Yichun, don't harm the entire God-level sect."
The first and second elders also shouted angrily, but Zhao Yichun shook his head and said firmly: "The God-level Sect, even if it really comes to that, it is because of our incompetence, but the rules of the God-level Sect since its establishment cannot be broken, please kill yourself."
The powerful people present did not interrupt the conversation between Zhao Yichun and the Supreme Elder of the Divine Level Sect. They could not interrupt the conversation at the Half-Step Martial Saint level.
"Maybe I am really wrong."
The old man thought of what his good friend had said.
"In this disaster, the God-level sect only has a glimmer of hope."
"What is this ray of hope? Does it require a Martial Saint to resolve it?"
When I asked him further, my friend did not answer but just gave me a mysterious smile. At that time, I thought I guessed correctly, but maybe... I have misunderstood it all these years.
“Three years later, if the God-level Gate still exists, don’t forget to tell me about your life in front of my grave!”
As the old man finished speaking, his upper body straightened up, and his whole body aged rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. He closed his eyes for the last time and passed away.
"Uncle Master!"
"Grand Elder!"
Many elders of the Divine Sect showed grief on their faces, and the first and second elders looked at Zhao Yichun with the most resentful eyes.
"Li Chenghe, Lian Jinshan...harmed fellow Nanjiang martial artists for no reason. According to the sect rules, your cultivation will be abolished and you will not be allowed to leave the forbidden area for the rest of your life!"
"Zhao Yichun, forget it!"
The god-level elders who were named were not convinced. Facing their dissatisfaction, Zhao Yichun simply flicked out his fingers repeatedly. Every time he flicked out his finger, a ray of light shone on these elders. Only a muffled groan was heard from these elders, and then their expressions became listless.
"Except for these people, all the disciples who participated in this incident will have their cultivation abolished. You can supervise. If any relatives or friends of the master's sect die at the hands of our God-level Sect, our God-level Sect is willing to do its best to compensate them."
Zhao Yichun looked at everyone. Zhang Wuji pursed his lips and remained silent. He wished he could kill all the members of the Shenji Sect, but Zhao Yichun's actions, especially the fact that his senior brother was a collaborator, made him unable to say such words.
"Master Zhao, where is my brother's body?"
"Master Ren's body should still be in this cave. If you need it, you can go in with me to take it back. If the body is missing..."
Zhao Yichun did not say what came next. Over the past few years, many strong men had their blood sucked dry by their uncle-master, and their bodies were burned to avoid exposing the matter.
Zhang Wuji walked towards the cave silently, and other strong men whose relatives had been killed followed him in.
Half an hour later, Zhang Wuji came out holding a dried corpse. Without saying a word, he walked down the mountain holding the corpse. The other strong men did the same as Zhang Wuji.
Of course they hate the god-level gate.
But they couldn't hate Zhao Yichun.
“Master Zhao, I admire you, but my hatred for the God-level Sect will not disappear. If I encounter a disciple of the God-level Sect in the future, I will not show mercy.”
"That's right. Not only me, but I will issue a killing order in the sect after I return. All disciples of my sect will be killed without mercy if they encounter a god-level disciple!"
Zhao Yichun was silent for a while, then said, "Okay."
Lin Ye and Jing Yu looked at each other. Since Zhang Wuji had left, they naturally would not stay here any longer.
But neither of them expected that things would end up like this.
…
…
Canglan County, Lin Mansion!
Half a month has passed since the God-Level Gate incident. During this half month, Lin Ye has been staying in the other world. During this half month, he did one thing, which was to buy a mansion next door.
The original owner of the mansion next door said that it was his ancestral home and could not be sold. He scolded Lin Ye at first, but after Lin Ye offered double the price, he fell silent. However, when Lin Ye offered triple the price, the deal was done directly.
Lin Ye bought this mansion not to expand his own mansion, but to give Jing Yu a place to live.
Shen Yun Sect suffered a misfortune. Although Jing Yu still held the status of a guest elder of Shen Yun Sect, he no longer lived in the residence provided by Shen Yun Sect, but lived in the mansion bought by Lin Ye.
Lin Mansion Hall.
"I heard from Shopkeeper Chen that you've been going to the next door a lot recently?"
Lin Ye looked at An Youshang. In the past twenty days, An Youshang stayed in the Kelai Restaurant during the day and returned to the mansion to read and practice calligraphy at night. Manager Chen hired a teacher for him.
However, since the last time Jing Yu met this kid An Youshang, he was actually very interested in An Youshang. He often called An Youshang over, and in the end he even let An Youshang live with him.
"Yes... Master Jing doesn't dislike me."
An Youshang was a little nervous. Before he left for Canglan County this time, his father called him to the study and gave him some serious instructions.
"Once you arrive in Canglan County, listen to your Uncle Lin's arrangements. No matter what Uncle Lin asks you to do, you must try your best to do it. If you dare to disobey him, then our father-son relationship will end, and you will never return to the capital again."
Therefore, he was very afraid that he might do something to make Uncle Lin unhappy.
"Master Jing, did Master Jing tell you to call him that?"
Hearing how An Youshang addressed Jing Yu, Lin Ye was a little surprised. Based on his understanding of Jing Yu, Jing Yu was a cold person who would not get too close to outsiders, but he was willing to let An Youshang call him Master.
Although this master does not mean apprentice or master, perhaps being called this means that Jingyu has a good impression of An Youshang.
"Go visit your Master Jing more often in the future. It will be good for you and your family."
Lin Ye mentioned An Youshang. Although he didn't care about the officialdom, his business was also affected by the recent crackdown on businessmen by the Shang Dynasty. So he asked his subordinates to investigate, and they found out that it was An Zisheng who was responsible.
In addition, according to information from the trading company, An Zisheng had been the victim of six or seven assassination attempts in the past half month. The imperial court was naturally furious, and the current Holy Mountain even sent a team of one hundred cavalrymen to be responsible for An Zisheng's safety.
In the other world, practitioners do not interfere in the struggles of secular dynasties, and warriors generally do not get involved in them. But now the situation is different. In recent years, the status and strength of businessmen have expanded rapidly. These businessmen have no scruples and spend a lot of money to establish connections with some martial arts masters.
An Zisheng's situation was not optimistic. Lin Ye even saw another hidden danger in An Zisheng.
An Youshang looked up at Lin Ye in confusion, but Lin Ye had no intention of explaining to him. He waved his hand and let the little guy go down.
"It's time to go back to the real world."
Watching An Youshang leave, Lin Ye paused the time in the other world and chose to return to the real world.
Real world!
Twenty days also passed.
The moment he came back, Lin Ye received a review of what had happened during the past twenty days when he was offline. Nothing serious happened, and the only messages in his phone were greetings from Zhong Shan every few days.
He Jie also sent me several messages, saying that she found a collector who had top-quality Tianhuang stone through a friend, but I didn't reply, and He Jie didn't send any more messages afterwards.
The message was sent three days ago. Lin Ye thought about it and made a phone call.
"Miss He, I'm so sorry. I've been busy these days and haven't checked my phone..."
After the call was connected, Lin Ye apologized to He Jie first. He Jie on the other end of the phone did not think that Lin Ye was lying. If it was anyone else, she would definitely not believe such an excuse. Nowadays, except for some people working in special agencies who may not be able to use mobile phones, ordinary people cannot live without mobile phones for a day, let alone for three days.
But Lin Ye is not an ordinary person. Isn’t it often shown in many novels and movies that people like him sometimes go into seclusion for thirty to fifty days or even longer.
"Mr. Lin, it's like this. I asked my friend to find out that the person is a collector in Shanghai. I asked my friend to pass on the message, but he said that if you really want it, you can go to Shanghai to find him, and you want this Tian Huang stone." After saying this, He Jie immediately added without waiting for Lin Ye to answer: "Mr. Lin, I told my friend that I wanted to buy a piece of top-quality Tian Huang stone myself."
Lin Ye's fingers were stroking the leather sofa from Italy. The meaning of what He Jie added was very simple. The collector seemed to have guessed that it was not He Jie who wanted the top-grade Tianhuang stone.
Did the other party find out about me?
Lin Ye rejected this idea. He was a consultant of the appraisal institute and his information was highly confidential. Moreover, He Jie had little contact with him, so it was impossible for the other party to find out that it was he who entrusted He Jie to help find the Tianhuang stone.
That means the other party knows the function of this top-grade Tianhuang stone and wants to meet the person behind it?
Thinking of this, Lin Ye replied: "Ms. He, please tell the collector that I can visit him in the Magic City."
With my own strength, no matter what the other party's purpose is, they will not be able to calculate against me.
On the contrary, the top-quality Tianhuang stone is what he urgently needs now.
In three years, the Ghost King will be born again, and he needs to improve his strength to the Yuanshen realm as soon as possible.
" Okay, then I'll contact the other party. Mr. Lin, when do you plan to go to the Magic City?"
"The sooner the better."
After talking to He Jie, Lin Ye hung up the phone and looked towards the entrance of the hall: "Come in, don't stand outside the door."
Tongtong had been standing at the door for a long time with a hesitant expression on his little face. Only after hearing his teacher's words did he walk in.
