Seeing his apprentice blush with embarrassment, he felt somewhat displeased.
"snort!"
"Everyone, please disperse. The matter has been investigated. The man in black last night was someone else, and it has nothing to do with Lin Xueyuan. The Criminal Investigation Department will continue to investigate."
"yes."
"yes."
As everyone dispersed, their gazes toward Lin Xueyuan shifted from disdain to envy.
Sister Ruoqing, this beautiful flower, was still taken by that pig Lin Xueyuan.
Ruoqing blushed and dared not look at Lin Xueyuan. She followed the sect leader away, as she still needed to coax her master, who seemed angry.
Lin Xueyuan watched Ruoqing leave with a complicated expression, but in his heart he was actually very pleased. Fairy Ruoqing really valued him.
When Xiao Li arrived, she witnessed this whole drama. Was Lin Xueyuan wronged?
Unfortunately, a female supporting character helped him clear his name.
Xiao Li's arrival went unnoticed by anyone; this was a secret technique passed down through the Soul Clan, capable of shielding one from divine sense.
Lin Xueyuan returned to his residence, a quiet little courtyard on the mountainside, which he had built himself.
This place is far from the spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy is thin. Lin Xueyuan sneered. The Yunling Sect was unkind to him, but one day he would rise up and show everyone.
He took out a spirit-gathering plate and began to meditate. As the spiritual energy circulated, he gradually entered a meditative state.
When the spiritual energy reached the Tanzhong acupoint, that familiar feeling returned. He frowned, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, vomiting a mouthful of blood.
"So it still doesn't work?"
Lin Xueyuan opened his eyes, a glint of red light flashing within them. He put away the Spirit Gathering Plate, took out a pill from his storage bag, swallowed it to calm his internal injuries, and then slowly stood up.
Xiao Li watched with great interest from the shadows. Lin Xueyuan must have gone mad with madness.
Without the refinement of the Netherworld Fire, the souls he absorbed had many side effects, and the stronger they were, the greater the impact.
"I still need to go to the Soul Realm. It's a pity about Saintess Zhiling. If only she could be of use to me."
He sighed and lay down to rest.
Xiao Li was so angry she was grinding her teeth. She was still thinking about the Soul Realm. She took out an enhanced version of the bad luck talisman from her space and took three pictures of Lin Xueyuan.
"boom……"
The courtyard actually collapsed.
"Cough...cough cough..."
Lin Xueyuan crawled out of the ruins. He felt a chill and suddenly realized something was wrong, but it was too late. Before he could react, the house collapsed.
Now that he had nowhere to sleep, he had no choice but to lie on the grass and look at the sky, which was quite nice.
The night wind blew, and the stars in the sky twinkled.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Lin Xueyuan felt a coolness on her face. Was it raining?
He wiped his hand, and his hand was sticky. Thinking of a certain possibility, a row of black lines appeared on his forehead.
Even after several cleaning sessions, he could still smell the lingering stench on his hands.
After washing himself several times with the water balloon spell, he lost his sleepiness and sat down to think about the path he would take next.
Since leaving the Soul Realm, he had the good fortune to find a storage ring containing a formula for reshaping his body, along with a set of pre-prepared materials.
Perhaps the man was too poor and the materials weren't very good. The body he reconstructed often had problems, such as chest pain or headaches.
If Xiaoli knew what he was thinking, she would definitely tell him that the problem wasn't with his body, but with his soul.
Unfortunately, Lin Xueyuan was unaware of these things. He tried many methods to improve his health, and even asked an alchemist to refine a top-grade Rejuvenation Pill for him, but it was all in vain. He still felt the pain.
In particular, he often coughed up blood when he was cultivating, which caused his cultivation level to stagnate and remain at the Nascent Soul stage for a long time.
After returning to the Celestial Realm, he discovered that there was a spiritual fire in the Soul Realm called Netherworld Purifying Fire, which was extremely beneficial to the soul, especially for soul cultivators like himself.
That's why he really wanted to go to the Soul Realm again.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
What was that sound? Lin Xueyuan stood up and looked around.
When he used his divine sense to see the group of uninvited guests who had arrived, he was so frightened that he ran away as fast as he could.
These are the spirit bees from the Royal Bee Garden! How did they end up here? If you get stung by such a large swarm, it won't be fun.
As he was running, he suddenly tripped and fell flat on his face. Xiao Li secretly sprinkled some honey from her space on him.
He seemed to be having a particularly unlucky night; the bees quickly caught up, and Lin Xueyuan became their biggest target.
His entire body was surrounded by bees; from a distance, he looked like a bee-man, which was absolutely terrifying.
"Ouch, ouch... don't sting me..."
He shut his mouth, but the bees tried to crawl into it. He dared not speak, so he covered his nose and ears and ran away. By the time he reached the riverbank, he had been stung hundreds of times.
He dared not kill these spirit bees; the senior brothers of the Royal Bee Garden were not to be trifled with.
"Thump..."
He jumped into the water; it was the only place that made him feel comfortable.
The bees flew away quickly, and Lin Xueyuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he would be resting by the river tonight.
Xiao Li had had her fill of fun and let him go for now; she had other things to do.
Xiao Li discovered as soon as she arrived in the Azure Sky Realm that Lin Xueyuan had become a demon, but his soul was strong and he concealed it well, so no one had discovered it yet.
Since I've fallen into demonic possession, I naturally need to join the demonic sect.
Xiao Li went to find the Demon Lord. Like the Soul Realm, this place was filled with a dark atmosphere, but the demonic energy in the Demon Realm was more mottled and complex.
"Who are you?"
A crisp sound rang out, and Xiao Li looked over.
This is Avril, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Realm. She has a hot body and a stunningly beautiful face. No wonder Lin Xueyuan likes her; she likes her too.
"Whoever came looking for your Demon Lord, tell him to come out and see me."
Avril tried to reprimand her, but Xiao Li immediately released her oppressive aura, causing Avril's legs to buckle and her to kneel on the ground.
"Oh dear, why are you making such a grand gesture? Please get up."
Xiao Li touched her spatial ring and took out a black pearl. She had picked it up when she was a fisherwoman; she had plenty of them in her spatial ring.
"This is for you. You are as beautiful as this pearl!"
Avril felt humiliated, but strength is paramount, and she dared not offend this important person.
"Thank you for your kind gift, senior."
"Who are you, senior, and what brings you here? Please don't make things difficult for a junior like me."
A surge of demonic energy lifted Avril to her feet. Avril quickly bowed and stepped back, not daring to look up.
Xiao Li looked at the newcomer. The Demon Lord was a foil to the male lead, so naturally he was not bad-looking, and was even more outstanding than the male lead.
It's all just to contrast with the male lead. So what if she's outstanding? Isn't she just a stepping stone for the male lead?
"I am Zhiling, you should have heard of me."
The Demon Lord was greatly surprised. Of course he knew Zhi Ling, a rising star in the Soul Realm. A junior who had grown into a powerful figure in just a few decades and become the guardian deity of the Soul Realm.
"So it's you. What brings you to my Demon Realm?"
The Demon Realm and the Soul Realm have always been at odds. Could Zhi Ling be coming for revenge? The Demon Lord felt a little uneasy.
However, he wasn't afraid. After all, he had lived for thousands of years and was not someone to be trifled with.
