The Heavenly Net Ghost King…
Hearing Ye Ling’s words, Wang Liren didn’t know how to respond. He could only curse himself for being naive and foolish, having fallen for Ye Ling’s trick.
How could he believe that the "minor character" Ye Ling mentioned was truly a minor character?
Who was the Heavenly Net Ghost King?
He was a ghost king that the Zhengyi Sect, with the full power of its sect, had spent a hundred years and the efforts of several generations of Heavenly Masters to no avail in capturing!
Such an evil entity, placed on the Yanxia Continent, was a definite disaster-level menace!
If even the Heavenly Net Ghost King was a minor character, then this Hua Country… no, the entire world would have no characters of note!
Wang Liren swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suppressing his shock, and tentatively asked Ye Ling, "May I ask, Brother Ye, that Heavenly Net Ghost King now…"
Ye Ling: "Is dead."
"Oh…"
Hearing Ye Ling’s casual reply, Wang Liren suddenly realized he was almost getting used to it, feeling that his life values were inevitably heading down a crooked path.
"Brother Ye, then…"
"Ask Ye Qingyan about the rest. I still have to attend the Zhengyi Sect’s Heavenly Master Transmission Ceremony and don’t have time to chat."
Ye Ling directly interrupted Wang Liren’s words. Without waiting for Ye Qingyan’s response, he took to the sky and flew towards Daocheng in Jiangdong Province.
Tian Yi followed closely behind.
"Hey, hey!"
Seeing that Ye Ling had just sold her out like that, Ye Qingyan couldn't help but shout a few times at Ye Ling’s retreating back.
Unfortunately, Ye Ling was too fast, disappearing from her sight in the blink of an eye.
Although Ye Qingyan was angry, she was helpless.
"This damned bastard!"
Ye Qingyan looked at Wang Liren, who was awkwardly smiling beside her, her face dark. She then said, "I can answer your questions, but I charge a lot. It's billed by the minute."
Wang Liren patted his chest and said with great spirit, "No problem, sister! My Dragon Division lacks nothing but money. As long as you can tell us the specifics, no matter the price, I can afford it!"
"One hundred thousand per minute."
"You're robbing…"
Wang Liren almost blurted out the words but managed to stop himself.
After taking a breath, Wang Liren looked at Ye Qingyan and chuckled dryly, "Sister, can you give me a discount?"
"Then go ask Ye Ling. I'm very busy too."
Ye Qingyan didn't hesitate and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Seeing this, Wang Liren quickly called out to Ye Qingyan, "I'll report this to my superiors. Please wait a moment, sister!"
Ye Qingyan stopped, a smile appearing on her lips. She turned to Wang Liren and said with a smile, "If you want to inquire about information, it's sold in hourly blocks!"
Hearing Ye Qingyan’s words, Wang Liren almost couldn't catch his breath!
Robbing a bank wouldn't be this profitable!
While Ye Qingyan was extorting the Dragon Division, Ye Ling had already entered Daocheng.
However, he didn't go to the Zhengyi Sect immediately. Instead, he landed in a large mountain on the northwest side of Daocheng.
"Master…"
Seeing Ye Ling stop, Tian Yi knew Ye Ling had instructions. He bowed to him and waited for Ye Ling’s command.
Ye Ling said calmly, "From now on, call me Emperor. I'm more accustomed to this title."
"Yes, Emperor."
Tian Yi immediately changed his address.
After having Tian Yi change his address, Ye Ling took out Xu Shuya's corpse again and awakened the dormant spirit within her.
As for Tian Yi, his gaze had not left Xu Shuya since Ye Ling took her out.
Ye Ling instructed, "Next, you will take Xu Shuya to the Zhengyi Sect."
"No matter what means you use, find a woman named Zhang Muya. But until I give the word, you cannot let Xu Shuya meet Zhang Muya, do you understand?"
"Understood."
Tian Yi bowed respectfully. Although his expression remained unchanged, he was secretly delighted.
He hadn't expected that his first mission following Ye Ling would be to act with Xu Shuya!
For this, he was already immensely satisfied.
Ye Ling glanced at Xu Shuya, who had not yet fully awakened, and then said to Tian Yi, "She will wake up in a few more minutes. Take her to the Zhengyi Sect first. Once she wakes up midway, selectively tell her about what happened in the Heavenly Net Ghost City."
"Thank you, Emperor."
Tian Yi bowed deeply to Ye Ling. Without further ado, he picked up Xu Shuya’s cold body and flew towards the Zhengyi Sect.
"Her time is running out. Cherish it well."
Ye Ling watched Tian Yi’s departing back and said softly, his gaze deepening.
Then, Ye Ling made a gesture with one hand, and the space beside him twisted. Zhang Qi, who had been knocked unconscious, fell out.
Ye Ling had searched Zhang Qi’s soul and knew he was a member of the Red Dust Pavilion, as well as the mastermind behind the planned attack on the Zhengyi Sect’s Heavenly Masters and the disruption of the Heavenly Master Transmission Ceremony.
However, Ye Ling had not found Zhang Qi’s specific motive for attacking the Zhengyi Sect from his soul.
But judging by Zhang Qi’s actions in seeking out Xu Shuya, Ye Ling estimated that the Red Dust Pavilion’s target was also Zhang Muya.
Now that Zhang Qi had fallen into Ye Ling’s hands, the Red Dust Pavilion probably didn't know that Zhang Qi had met with an accident. Therefore, Ye Ling planned to use Zhang Qi’s identity to stir up some trouble.
Taking out Zhang Qi’s phone, Ye Ling skillfully logged into the Red Dust Pavilion and browsed the Red Dust Pavilion’s website using Zhang Qi’s account.
Having not logged in for some time, the Red Dust Pavilion’s official website had undergone significant changes.
The number of cultivators available for hire on the webpage had decreased by more than half. The servers used for the forum had been moved abroad, and now one even needed to “climb the wall” to log in and browse information!
For Ye Ling, who had left Earth many years ago, climbing the wall was extremely difficult.
After a great deal of effort, Ye Ling finally understood the method of climbing the wall from Zhang Qi’s memory and successfully logged into the Red Dust Pavilion forum.
Little Wu Doesn’t Run: Have you guys heard? The Hua Country branch of the Red Dust Pavilion was sunk by a guy named Ye Ling! The entire island sank into the East Sea!
Above the Clouds: Where did you get that news? Sunk the Red Dust Pavilion branch by yourself? Are you trying to get yourself killed by spreading rumors about the Red Dust Pavilion on their own forum?
Pig Riding a Sword: I think the楼主 (OP) should have insider information. Haven't you all noticed that the number of cultivators available for hire in Hua Country has decreased by more than half? And the forum servers have been moved abroad. Something must have happened to the Hua Country branch.
No Question Star River: Then who exactly is this Ye Ling? He could take down a Red Dust Pavilion branch by himself? Is he bragging? If he has the guts, let him come and spar with me?
Little Wu Doesn’t Run: Upstairs, I got the news from the Dragon Division. I heard Ye Ling is a ruthless guy. If he sees your message, I can only wish you good luck.
Pig Riding a Sword: Come to dig graves this time next year to see if the person above you is still around?
Above the Clouds: Add one.
As Ye Ling browsed the posts on the forum, his gaze focused on the ID “Little Wu Doesn’t Run,” and his eyes narrowed slightly.
“I saw this guy last time too. He’s much more well-informed than others, even managing to get my name from the Dragon Division…”
“And he seems to have connections with the Red Dust Pavilion…”
“Looks like I need to find a way to dig him out!”
