New and dark light years

Chapter 328 Junior Sister Has a Wonder
Extraterrestrial demon!

For Daqi, this is a terrifying term.

The damage inflicted on the previous dynasty by the extraterrestrial demons can be understood simply by reading historical records.

"So how does the imperial court plan to deal with the extraterrestrial demons?" Li Lin asked.

"The two southern expeditions alone have resulted in nearly a million deaths among the soldiers," Huang Yan said helplessly. "The imperial court is no longer able to launch another southern expedition against Yue County in the short term. Moreover, the Di people in the north are causing trouble, so Qin Tuo can only be put on hold for the time being."

Li Lin remained silent.

Huang Yan continued, "This is also the reason why Qin Tuo cooperated with the Southern Barbarians. You should have felt the changes brought about by the red mist."

Li Lin nodded.

"There may be benefits."

"The benefits are enormous."

Huang Yan nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. Although the court can't launch a southern expedition, it's said that Yue County and the Southern Barbarians aren't having an easy time either. So many people were sacrificed, and the world was transformed, starting with them. They were the most affected. We need to recuperate, and so do they, otherwise Qin Tuo would have attacked long ago."

Li Lin nodded, agreeing with Huang Yan's analysis.

“Since the red mist is of great benefit to you, then you should focus on your cultivation for the next few years.” Huang Yan snorted and said, “In any case, my Huang family can still protect your peace for a few years.”

"Thank you very much, Taishan."

“We’re all family, no need for thanks.” Huang Yan continued, “Once you’ve achieved some success in your cultivation, you can take care of the Huang family when you have some free time.”

Li Lin nodded: "That's only natural."

After chatting with the two men for a while, Li Lin got up to take his leave. Huang Yan suddenly said, "Tianyi Sect has recently encountered some trouble. We generally don't want to get involved in matters of the martial world unless they involve civilians or innocent people, but I heard that you are familiar with An Xin of Tianyi Sect. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Li Lin turned around and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Thank you for your guidance, Taishan."

After leaving the government office, Li Lin went directly to the Tianyi Gate, only to find it tightly closed.

Li Lin stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Then a voice came from inside the door: "Who is it!"

The voice sounded fierce and somewhat nervous.

"Li Lin has come to visit his friend An Xin."

After a moment of silence, the person on the other end asked, "Is it Commander Li of the Southern Route Army?"

"Exactly."

"Please wait a moment." The voice from behind the door suddenly became cheerful.

Not long after, the two heavy doors opened.

An Xin stood behind the door with a group of young people.

Upon seeing Li Lin, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Brother Li, I am delighted by your presence. Please come in!"

Li Lin went inside, and the door slowly closed.

As Li Lin approached Anxin, he could faintly smell the stench of blood.

Although it's a bit faint, it's still quite obvious that it's emanating from Anxin.

"Brother Li, this way please."

An Xin led Li Lin toward the guest house, while the young people following behind An Xin dispersed.

It's estimated that the younger disciples followed him because they were afraid someone might impersonate Li Lin and try to harm him.

Upon arriving at the guest house, Li Lin sat down first, while An Xin sat down opposite him.

Li Lin looked the other person up and down for a moment, then asked, "Are you injured?"

An Xin's previously cheerful expression immediately fell, and she said dejectedly, "How did you figure it out? I thought I was hiding it quite well."

"There was a strong smell of blood."

"Really?" An Xin sniffed himself from side to side and then said, "I can't smell anything."

Li Lin looked at the other person and asked, "How did you get injured?"

“I was slashed.” An Xin’s expression turned genuinely downcast this time. “I thought I was one of the better young martial artists in the world, but… I never expected that I would be seriously injured by someone three years younger than me. If it weren’t for the two elders saving me, I would have been decapitated.”

Li Lin was quite surprised: "Three years younger than you? Which school or sect are you from!"

“破山堂！”

"Never heard of it."

An Xin smiled wryly and said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of the small sects in the Central Plains. They haven't produced any powerful figures in the martial arts world. But some time ago, I took a few fellow disciples to the Central Plains to visit some seniors who were related to our sect. During that time, we encountered that person. As we were talking... it turned into an argument. In the end, we started insulting each other's elders. I was young and hot-blooded, so I fought with him."

"And then you lost?" Li Lin asked.

An Xin nodded dejectedly: "That kid looks thin and skinny, but he can swing his longsword with sword energy that travels more than two zhang. I was not careful and fell for it."

Li Lin was also secretly surprised after hearing this.

Even though he possessed spiritual power, the sword energy he unleashed only traveled three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in distance.

Could that kid from Poshan Hall also be a cultivator?

I heard you've run into some trouble lately!

An Xin looked a little embarrassed, but Li Lin was his friend, so he felt it wouldn't hurt to say it.

"Somehow the news of my injury got out, and after I returned to Jin County, many people came to cause trouble."

Li Lin scoffed, "Kicking someone when they're down. Everyone says that people in the martial arts world are generous and trustworthy, but it seems that's just a lie."

"In the martial world, there has always been only the strong and the weak. The so-called loyalty and righteousness... are only because such things are so rare. Therefore, when one or two such things occur, they are worth writing about in great detail by people in the martial world."

Li Lin felt that An Xin's words made sense.

Then he asked, "Do you need my help?"

"No need... right?"

Anxin didn't seem very confident when she spoke.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it!" "It's me, Senior Brother."

The girl's voice came from outside, and An Xin knew who it was as soon as he heard it.

In fact, Li Lin knew who it was; the voice sounded very familiar to him.

"come in."

As the door opened, a bright young girl stood outside, dressed in a pale yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), almost blending into the sunlight, looking quite clean and refreshing.

"Senior Brother, and Senior Brother Li too."

An Xin looked at the other person and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Lu Ying smiled somewhat shyly and said, "I heard that Senior Brother Li had come, so I came to see him."

Her cheeks were slightly flushed.

An Xin gave Lu Ying a meaningful look and said, "Then come over and talk."

Lu Ying walked over and looked at Li Lin somewhat awkwardly, saying, "Senior Brother Li, I've been practicing the Lightning Strike Technique and... Paper Making Technique recently, but there are many things I don't understand. Could you please give me some pointers?"

“Sure,” Li Lin nodded.

These two spells were traded to the Tianyi Sect by him; this can be considered after-sales service.

"You two chat first, I have some things to take care of." An Xin stood up, smiled, and left.

Lu Ying blushed even more, but she still bravely stood next to Li Lin and asked, "Senior Brother Li, recently after the red mist, I've been having some problems using the Lightning Strike Technique. It's not working quite right for me. Could you help me take a look and see what's wrong?"

"Of course, but you have to let me see how far your lightning strike technique has progressed first."

Lu Ying nodded repeatedly, then pulled Li Lin out and walked towards the back of Tianyi Gate.

Along the way, they encountered many disciples of the Tianyi Sect. When they saw Lu Ying and Li Lin, they all stepped aside and gave each other a teasing smile.

Lu Ying blushed, but pretended not to see it. She held Li Lin's hand and walked until they arrived at a clearing surrounded by groves of trees.

“I usually practice lightning magic here,” Lu Ying explained.

Li Lin looked around and found that there were indeed many small pits and depressions here. Most of the pits and depressions were black, probably caused by lightning.

“Senior Brother Li, look at me!” Lu Ying’s eyes were bright.

Then she turned around and began to perform a hand seal.

The energy was disturbed, and a few breaths later, a bolt of azure lightning struck several feet in front of them, splashing up many clods of earth and pebbles.

"It's quite powerful," Li Lin nodded admiringly as he looked at the newly appeared crater ahead.

Li Lin asked, "Then is there something wrong with you? I don't see it."

"Yes." Lu Ying held out her palm for Li Lin to see.

Her small hands were very white, and her palms were as white as milk, showing that her skin was very good.

But in the palm of my hand, there was a bluish mark that was gradually disappearing.

Hmm? This is… Li Lin frowned and examined it closely.

Looking at Li Lin so close to her, and at his handsome face, Lu Ying's breathing quickened unconsciously.

Li Lin examined the other person's palm for a moment, and then, before the bluish mark disappeared, he reached out and grasped the other person's pulse.

The man and woman touch hands.

Li Lin behaved normally, but this time, Lu Ying's ears turned red.

But she didn't struggle, letting Li Lin hold her hand.

Li Lin channeled some spiritual energy into it and quickly found the cyan mark, exploring it with his spiritual energy.

Then Li Lin's expression became somewhat strange.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Li Lin's expression, Lu Ying's heart started pounding.

"You're a spirit hunter, practicing the Yin Law Heart Sutra, how could you possibly have vital energy?"

Lu Ying was taken aback: "Huh? I've never practiced martial arts, let alone internal energy cultivation techniques."

"Then where did you get this vital energy from?!"

Lu Ying practices the Yin Method Heart Sutra, which, like the Spirit Hunter, is based on Yin energy.

Therefore, if she has vital energy in her body, it will be like a drop of oil mixed in with water... very obvious.

The bluish marks on her hands were a sign that her vital energy had been squeezed out.

Lu Ying shook her head in confusion.

Li Lin also found it strange. Logically speaking, Lu Ying had never practiced martial arts, so it was impossible for her to have vital energy in her body.

Moreover... if vital energy is so easy to condense, then Lu Ying's future achievements in martial arts cultivation will be even greater, and her potential will be even higher.

"When did this strange characteristic begin? After the red mist?"

Lu Ying thought for a moment and said, "No... it was there before the red mist appeared. It wasn't very obvious before, but it became very clear after the red mist appeared."

The red mist was already there before it appeared, so it seems that the red mist was just a trigger.

There must be some secret about Lu Ying.

"Besides this blue mark, do you have any other questions about magic?"

“Of course there is.” Lu Ying looked at Li Lin with her beautiful eyes and said, “Paper-making technique…pathfinding paper dolls, why are they so stupid? I think your paper dolls are very smart, Senior Brother Li.”

Li Lin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Little Paper Human Lord..."

Lu Ying's cheeks, which had finally regained some color, turned red again, whether from embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell.

Just then, a hurried sound of footsteps came from behind.

Both of them turned around to look.

Soon, a disciple appeared before the two of them. He wiped his sweat and said, "Junior Sister, those people have come to our door again, specifically asking to spar with Senior Brother."
