In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 318 Doubts
Xie Lingxin didn't care about anyone else.

His mind was focused on Mingyu's invisible sword energy on the field, as well as the circulation of his own internal energy.

Even if he possessed the innate supernatural power of being able to do anything, it would be highly unlikely that he could learn Mingyu's invisible sword energy after just a few glances.

This is, after all, the heritage passed down through generations of a distinguished family. If it were so easy to "steal" it, what kind of heritage would it be?
However, the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword Qi he learned before was also a technique that used the Qi of the five internal organs and the five elements as its driving force, supplemented by incantations and breath control, and used righteous thoughts to release the Evil-Slaying Sword Qi.

It is a sword for subduing demons and eliminating evil spirits, and it is always effective against evil.

The Seven Emotions Formless Sword Qi also operates using the Qi of the five internal organs, circulating through the twelve meridians, and is generated by the seven emotions.

Sword energy stirs the seven emotions, and mortals are emotional beings.

Therefore, this sword of seven emotions, though invisible, is the sword of humanity.

If a person gets caught up in it, they will inevitably be moved by the seven emotions.

Different paths lead to the same destination.

Xie Lingxin understood the key points perfectly, and by analogy, she was able to master them.

of course.

Anyone else who heard his reason would have called it bullshit!
The sword energy of the Demon-Slaying Sword is incomplete, with only a fraction of its power remaining.

Mingyu's invisible sword energy, imbued with the seven emotions, appears even more profound and mysterious.

Moreover, he had already defied his innate nature, and the energy emanating from his five internal organs was all innate.

The bursting sword energy is no longer called the Seven Emotions Formless Sword Energy, but should be called the Innate Seven Emotions Formless Sword Energy!

"Brother Xie, you also know... Invisible Sword Qi?"

The owner of the shop sitting next to him couldn't help but ask.

He was well aware of the reputation of the Seven Emotions Formless Sword.

The Federation has countless cultivation techniques.
However, in the entire Federation, there are at most only about a hundred known cultivation techniques of the Wilderness Rank.

The martial arts academy has a ranking of various martial arts techniques in the Federation, among which the most popular are the Martial Arts Ranking, the Techniques Ranking, and the Supernatural Power Ranking.

The Seven Emotions Formless Sword of the Nanli Ming Clan ranks seventy-ninth on the martial arts list.

Of course, this is just a ranking of martial arts techniques.

All martial arts techniques are practiced by people. At the World's Number One Swordsmanship Conference, this sword technique is definitely qualified to compete for the title of the world's number one sword!

This martial arts technique wasn't even included in the Federation's list of cultivation methods.

How could Xie Lingxin possibly know that? Where would he have learned it?
This question brought Xie Lingxin back to her senses. She noticed the gazes of Sima, Qingyun, and Liaochen, and realized that she had been lost in thought.

"What sword energy? What sword energy? How could I possibly steal someone else's skills?!"

Master Sima: "..."

Do you think I'm blind?
And I never said you stole my knowledge, so aren't you just admitting it without asking...?
But a storm raged within me.

Really? When and where did this kid steal...learn that skill?

Yes, there might be a reason why these scions of noble families suddenly flocked to Far East Star.

Jin Yuan and the others were coming here, so they definitely needed to inform them first.

Otherwise, with so many scions of prominent families involved, every move they make would attract attention.

If we don't inform them in advance, there will definitely be big trouble.

Even if the Far East District misunderstands that the aristocratic families are planning to attack the entire Far East Star, that is still possible.

Family rebellions are not uncommon in federal history.

Sima was quite startled when he received the news that these scions of noble families were coming.

After thinking it over, the only thing that comes to mind is that Jin Yuxiang and his group of powerful families died here before.

Jin Yuan and his group came to settle accounts.

As a scion of a powerful family, he causes chaos wherever he goes.

It's normal for people to come to the dojo to have some fun.

That's why he was on high alert and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lingxin also joined them.

Judging from the attitude of these scions of prominent families towards him, they seem to respect him quite a bit.

I still can't figure it out.

Now, seeing him use the Seven Emotions Formless Sword Qi of the Ming Clan again, he is even more puzzled.

What is the origin of this boy?
Why is it so messy!

Liao Chen turned his head and smiled slightly.

This junior brother Xie has a "criminal record".

He had heard of his deeds in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At the time, many people in Shaolin Temple were talking about it.

Because he only watched it a few times on the spot, he learned the Great Netherworld Bell Protective Divine Power of his Grandmaster Uncle Ruman.

When the news reached Shaolin, many people did not believe it.

Qingyun didn't seem inclined to ask any questions.

Aside from Nanhe Wudang, there weren't many other things he cared about.

He knew that the elders in the sect had high hopes for this Junior Brother Xie, and the more outstanding Junior Brother Xie was, the more hope Wudang would have.

This is good.

"Om-!"

at this time.

The arena was filled with Mingyu's invisible sword energy of seven emotions.

Thousands upon thousands, their sword energy trembling.

Almost everyone felt the hairs on their bodies stand on end.

My scalp tingled in waves.

Even the sword energy stirred their seven emotions, causing each of them to experience joy, anger, fear, or worry.

"Sigh~"

In the audience, Ye Mengxiong gasped for breath.

I feel inexplicably irritable.

But the exciting fight on the field made it impossible for him to take his eyes off it.

"Waaah...Xu Mengxuan is ignoring me...waaah..."

Guo Xiaofeng, who was standing nearby, suddenly became overcome with grief and began to sob.

"..."

Ye Mengxiong wanted to pounce on him and give him a good beating.

"not good!"

Master Sima's expression changed slightly.

It's not that I'm worried about the spectators.

Although Mingyu's sword energy was strong, it was not enough to control the emotions of tens of thousands of people.

It will only cause a slight disturbance at most.

But the chilling coldness that comes first is different.

His Soul Forging technique was inherently highly susceptible to the influence of sinful souls and evil spirits that he was forging.

He raised a vicious army, and his heart was filled with violence and madness.

Normally, there's a secret method to keep things under control, so there's no need to worry.

Mingyu's seven emotions, though invisible, are like a spark that ignites a fuse.

His cold, fierce, and manic nature had been completely unleashed.

They did not become weaker because of this; on the contrary, they attacked violently and showed no mercy.

A strange black and red mist began to emanate from their bodies.

Hands and feet, like steel knives and spears, each move deadly.

Even a light touch of a fingertip would leave Mingyu with an immediate injury.

However, he himself was also left with bloody marks by Mingyu's invisible sword energy.

It's a fighting style that completely disregards one's own life.

This is no longer a friendly exchange; it's a life-or-death struggle!
If this continues, it won't be a battle of wits between the two; it will be a fight to the death!

Two scions of prominent families died at his Daoist Hall, a thought that filled Master Sima with despair!
"Brother Xie, you can't just stand by and do nothing about your brother!"

"Master Sima pleaded."

He could actually take action himself.

Within the dojo, only he could confidently separate the two without causing any damage.

Although the two are strong, they are far from being able to compare with him, a titled expert.

He was just overthinking things. The two young masters were fighting fiercely. What if he interfered and offended them?
How could Xie Lingxin not know what he was thinking?
With the intention of taking advantage of every passing moment, he said, "Master Sima, you owe me one."

"..."

Master Sima's face twitched, and after glancing at the increasingly dangerous situation on the field, he could only laugh and say, "No problem, no problem!"

Xie Lingxin looked at the red-robed bald man beside her: "Senior Brother Liaochen, I've heard Master Ruman say that Shaolin is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism."

"Zen Buddhism has a wonderful method called 'a sudden awakening,' which can help people understand their true nature. I wonder if Brother Liaochen could let me see it?"

Zen Buddhism? Shaolin Temple?
Master Sima was taken aback.

He naturally knew about the Shaolin Zen sect, the most glorious lineage of ancient Buddhism!
Its presence can be found in almost every legendary realm.

Many of its origins also continue within the Federation.

It can be described as a Buddhist lineage that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day without decline.

This monk seems to be from the East China Sea branch, right?

I never expected him to have such a powerful background.
Master Sima took Xie Lingxin's group even more seriously.

None of these people are simple!

Liao Chen smiled and said, "Since Junior Brother Xie wants to see, then let him see."

He knew Xie Lingxin wanted to see his skills.

He simply raised one palm to his chest and opened his mouth.

"Duh!"

Suddenly, thunder and lightning roared in the meditation hall.

It doesn't frighten you, but rather gives you a sudden jolt from the inside out, followed by a refreshing coolness throughout your body.

As if the earth were collapsing and rocks were cracking, clear springs gushed out.

Mingyu and Lenglie, who were locked in a life-or-death struggle, were struck as if by lightning and flew backward.

His cold and manic expression returned to normal, and the black and red mist around his body disappeared.

He paused for a moment, then looked at Mingyu in front of him: "Mingyu, are you alright?"

Mingyu shook her head, feeling a bit scared as well.

It's not that they're afraid of losing, but if they continue fighting, there will inevitably be casualties on both sides.

He smiled wryly and said, "It's also my fault."

He was naturally aware of the Leng family's Soul Forging Weapons, but he had never actually encountered them.

Only when a fight actually broke out did I realize how dangerous it was.

Especially when facing his Seven Emotions Formless Sword Qi.

Neither of them could say for sure who was the nemesis of the other.

They glanced in Xie Lingxin's direction.

Mingyu said, "It seems that there are truly no weaklings around our prince... What do you intend to do?"

He saw that Leng Lie's eyes, which had just calmed down, suddenly ignited again.

"Your Highness! Since you're here, why don't we have a fight?"

Mingyu: "..."

Are you trying to kill yourself?

Jin Yuan and the others, who were resting on the side, couldn't help but feel a little eager to try it out.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were no match for Xie Lingxin.

But now, they have basically digested the gains of the past half week and made great progress.

Even if he's not as good as him, the gap shouldn't be that big!

They are all proud and arrogant, and who doesn't have a competitive spirit?

"Your Highness? Who is that?"

The audience was stunned, and a buzzing of voices filled the air.

"..."

Xie Lingxin was speechless.

I never realized that among these people, this seemingly most docile and cold-blooded one was the most combative.

Master Sima said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Brother Xie, this is a rare opportunity. Why don't you go up and show off your skills?"

He was also curious whether Xie Lingxin could still outperform these scions of aristocratic families.

Of course, that's assuming he doesn't use his magical treasures.

Xie Lingxin shook her head and stood up.

Everyone thought he was about to make a move.

Xie Lingxin simply walked down and said to them, "You are no match for me."

Leng Lie raised an eyebrow, about to speak.

Suddenly, he felt as if his skin was being cut and pierced by knives and swords, his hands and feet were cold, and even his heart was trembling.

When Xie Lingxin's gaze swept over him, he felt as if he were about to die.

fear!

Magnified infinitely in an instant!
Fortunately, it only lasted for a moment, and things returned to normal.

Xie Lingxin had already turned and left without looking back, waving her hand and saying, "Now that the fight is over, let's go."

"A bunch of show-offs, making such a fuss over a fight."

"..."

Who's the one showing off?

Mingyu, Jinyuan, and the others all felt the same way as Leng Lie just now.

very scary……

Your Highness... has become stronger again, ridiculously strong!

The crowd exchanged glances, but few expressed resentment. Instead, they all felt a sense of relief, as if it were the natural course of events.

The main reason they could look at Xie Lingxin differently was because they were subdued by him.

They would be very disappointed if Xie Lingxin was truly weaker than them.

……

The sight of young nobles fighting was extremely exciting for the spectators.

Although the people have dispersed, countless others are still discussing it.

When Ye Mengxiong came out, his head was still buzzing a little.

"What...Teacher Xie was doing just now?"

Guo Xiaofeng scratched his head.

"How would I know?"

Ye Mengxiong said irritably.

It's already a bit outrageous that someone surnamed Xie could even be among these people; he seems pretty arrogant...

He wasn't a master; he was so far away that he couldn't hear what those people were saying.

But he could tell that those scions of prominent families seemed to treat Xie Lingxin very politely.

Why?

I don't understand!

"Guo Xiaofeng! I'm really angry!"

At that moment, Xu Mengxuan's youthful and beautiful figure appeared before them.

Her face, which was still somewhat attractive, was covered with a thin layer of frost.

Guo Xiaofeng was immediately flustered and at a loss, unable to speak.

Xu Mengxuan bit her lip: "What? Do you think I have a bad temper? Fine! I thought you had a good personality, otherwise I wouldn't..."

"Never mind, I'm really angry, but I don't want you to be unhappy. Let's leave it at that, but don't do it again next time!"

"Yeah! Good, good, good!"

Guo Xiaofeng was flattered and surprised. At this moment, even if Xu Mengxuan asked him to sell himself, he wouldn't hesitate for a second.

"..."

Ye Mengxiong was truly impressed.

Damn green tea bitch!

At this moment, Xu Mengxuan walked to Guo Xiaofeng's side and looked at him:

"Let me tell you, Ye Mengxiong, a scion of a powerful family... never mind, I won't say anything more, lest I annoy people if I say too much. I must be crazy, why should I care about you?"

"Mengxuan, Ye Mengxiong is a good person..."

Guo Xiaofeng stammered.

The fragrance around him intoxicated him, but he still retained some rationality and subconsciously protected Ye Mengxiong.

"So you mean I deliberately spoke ill of people? I'm not a good person!"

"No, no, no, it's not..."

Ye Mengxiong couldn't stand it anymore, so he slapped his forehead and turned to leave.

I'm sick too, a dead simp, a dead green tea b*tch!
Get the hell out of here!

He wanted to chase after Xie Lingxin, but when he ran out, he saw a flying vehicle take off, and in an instant, it was just a black dot.

Never mind, we'll talk about it next time we meet at school.

……

The commotion caused an uproar in Leizhou and the other three cities.

Xie Lingxin retreated to her own home for some peace and quiet.

The matter of the Special Operations Department has been resolved, and he no longer needs to worry about Xiang Chongyuan.

Anyway, he can't find any fault with himself, so there's nothing we can do about him.

After making arrangements for Jin Yuan and the others, the five teams of the Special Operations Section were quickly formed.

The team leader was Chu He, and there were a total of fifteen other sanitation workers from the former Leizhou branch.

The second team consists of Captain Chen, Deputy Captain Hongxiao, and sanitation workers from the original Donghai branch, totaling fifteen people.

The third team consisted of five Wudang disciples, plus Cui Hong and the people brought by Jin Yuan, totaling fifteen people, with Qingyun as the team leader.

Teams four and five are both from the Tian Ce Mansion group.

The captain of Team Four is Mingyu, and the captain of Team Five is Lenglie.

Jin Yuan could only resign himself to the position of deputy in grief and indignation.

Xie Lingxin called Li Jingzhe and told him he didn't need to come.

He could tell that Li Jingzhe had something to do, but only agreed out of consideration for him.

Since Jin Yuan and his group have brought so many people, there's no need to trouble him any further.

Li Jingzhe didn't say anything and just agreed.

Xie Lingxin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he only allowed six magical treasures to be given out, he still intended to repay the favors owed to Jin Yuan and the others as much as possible.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they only made one trip and won't stay long.

However, the influence it brought was definitely a great favor to him.

Three magical treasures... indeed precious, more than enough to repay any favor.

However, the magic weapons cannot be distributed equally.

He also needs to find a way to give the others some compensation.

The magic weapon is out of the question, but we can find a substitute elsewhere.

The three magical treasures will undoubtedly be given to Mingyu, Lenglie, and Jinyuan.

Besides Jin Yuan, there was another person from a prominent family, who was also quite special. She was the only woman in the group, named Nian Youyou.

From the Azure Star, the Nian clan.

Azure Star is renowned in the Federation for its life sciences, but it is relatively low-profile among the nine planets.

Aside from the inhabitants of their own planet, people from other planets know very little about them.

This Nian family was even more low-key; even Jin Yuan and others had only heard of their existence but knew nothing about them.

Xie Lingxin had no interest in their identities or family backgrounds.

His current headache is how to deliver on his promise of benefits.

These three magical treasures were causing him distress.

With the innate Bagua Furnace, refining is not difficult; the difficulty lies in the materials.

Xie Lingxin locked herself in her home for three whole days before she could select three magical treasures from the Records of Refining Treasures in the Tang Palace.

Bone-Piercing Divine Fire Pearl, Divine Strategy Soul-Suppressing Banner, Water-Fire Elixir Cauldron.

The Divine Fire Pearl of Gudu: The Kingdom of Gudu once presented a precious pearl as tribute. It burned like a torch at night, emitting a red glow, and could ward off evil spirits and demons.

Later, the precious pearl was stolen, and the master craftsman who refined treasures in the Immortal Abode Palace then refined another one based on this pearl.

This thing can emit a stream of fiery red light; it's quite powerful.

The materials required are also not ordinary.

A wisp of primordial flame.

Something called red crystal.

The former is the rarest, but he has innate heart fire and innate Bagua furnace, which can transform innate Li fire.

For him, it's the simplest thing.

The red crystal is made by refining black and yellow metals. Although the process is complicated, it is not difficult for him.

Shence Soul-Suppressing Banner: A treasure used by the Shence Army to gather and collect the souls of those who died on the battlefield; it has the ability to collect and suppress souls.

The purpose of collecting the souls of the dead is not to give fallen soldiers a final resting place, but to command their spirits to become ghost soldiers! To let them continue to serve us even after death!
The main material is called Zhensha Xuan Tie (镇煞玄铁).

Xie Lingxin searched for a long time at Baishitong, but in the end she actually found it in the Environmental Protection Bureau's internal archives!
Worth 200 contribution points!

Exorbitantly expensive!

But there is nothing we can do.

Water and Fire Elixir Cauldron: It can transform rare and precious materials into elixir energy within the cauldron, condensing it into golden pills that can detoxify all poisons and cure all diseases.

To put it simply, it's an automatic alchemy furnace.

However, the effects of the pills produced were too limited.

This thing also primarily requires innate water and fire.

All three magical treasures were made from materials that were easiest for him to obtain.

Although the other two main materials, apart from the Soul-Suppressing Banner, were free, Xie Lingxin spent nearly 30 million even on the auxiliary materials!

More than half of his wealth of over 50 million was wiped out in an instant!

Xie Lingxin could only console herself that losing money was a way to avoid further trouble!
But the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Making them run around with just three magical treasures is too lenient on them.

He planned to use these people to their fullest extent during this period!

The first thing to do is to make them find blood for themselves!

That's right, it's the blood of a million people needed to refine the Blood River Iron Strategy Nether Bell!

Since we're already refining treasures, let's refine them together.

Human blood is worthless, but it's not easy to get your hands on it.

These scions of prominent families can then come in handy.

Jin Yuan and the others didn't think it was too difficult and readily agreed.

And in just three days, he managed to collect half of it!
The blood of more than 500,000 people!

The rest shouldn't take long either.

Such a large quantity can only be temporarily stored at Leizhou City Hospital.

They went into Laoshan to cut down trees, and came out to refine treasures.

Xie Lingxin never had a moment of rest.

He doesn't even go to work.

Xiang Chongyuan was so angry that his face turned as black as ink every day, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He couldn't say anything more when asked if he was out on a case.

Even though they knew he was at home, everyone in the Special Operations Section was indeed busy.

Especially the scions of prominent families like Jin Yuan, none of them slacked off.

What could he say?
Xie Lingxin was originally the deputy director, so it was her job to oversee and direct operations.

However, Xie Lingxin remained in this state for a month or so, pushing Xiang Chongyuan to the brink of explosion.

He has already declared that he will throw Xie Lingxin into the Death Zone battlefield!
Xie Lingxin knew she couldn't provoke him any further, or this stern-faced man might actually do something drastic.

Fortunately, he had already forged his first magical artifact: the Divine Strategy Soul-Suppressing Banner!
He then summoned Mingyu, Jinyuan, Lenglie, and Nianyouyou as well.

When the four arrived, Chu He also happened to be there.

These days, they come to the old compound to report to Xie Lingxin.

Honestly, Xie Lingxin has no regrets.

He truly did not let personal matters interfere with official duties; the Special Operations Division was indeed handling cases, and all cases were under his control.

"Brother Chu, what have you found out?"

Seeing Chu He approach, one could tell that he had made some discovery.

He was handling the case of the missing students from Qixing Academy.

"Deputy Steward..."

Just as Chu He was about to speak, he saw Jin Yuan and the others standing to the side and said, "Why don't you go first?"

Jin Yuan laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder: "Old Chu, you have a bright future!"

Chu He secretly curled his lip.

He has recently become quite familiar with these scions of prominent families.

But he knew that these people were being very polite on the surface, but only because of Xie Lingxin.

The arrogance and aloofness that emanates from his very being cannot be concealed.

These sanitation workers, wanting to avoid offending anyone, usually give them the runaround.

Xie Lingxin rolled her eyes, unable to say anything about Jin Yuan and the others' behavior.

You can't force someone to be approachable, can you?

He took out a triangular flag slightly larger than his palm and threw it on the table: "Who wants the first magic weapon?"

Several people's eyes immediately turned towards them.

Jin Yuan leaned over, as if he wanted to hug her.

"Your Highness! Give it to me!"

Xie Lingxin ignored him and explained the power of the Soul-Suppressing Banner.

Jin Yuan fell silent for a moment, then said, "Leng Lie, you can take this thing."

Mingyu and Nianyouyou nodded in agreement.

"This really suits you."

The coldness is specifically designed to subdue sinful spirits and vengeful ghosts; having this is like adding wings to a tiger.

"Your Highness, thank you!"

He didn't say much, took the Soul-Suppressing Banner, and solemnly said.

He already believed that Xie Lingxin had seen through his condition that day and specially crafted this magic weapon.

To others, this thing can command ghost soldiers.

For him, however, it was of extraordinary significance to control the sinful and resentful spirits suppressed within his own body.

Xie Lingxin knew he had misunderstood.

I'm just poor...

But let's just leave it at that...

"The rest, you'll have to wait patiently."

"Chu He, speak."

Chu He then began to talk about the case he was investigating.

“Deputy Director, this case is a bit puzzling, we don’t have any leads at all, but we’ve found something suspicious: the people who have recently disappeared from the academy are all men who have been given demerits by the academy…”
