Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

"As for the rest, I really don't understand. Or do you have some grand plan to overthrow the world, and then..."

Has anyone ever told you that if you weren't the gang leader, you might be able to become a storyteller?

"No, that's not true. Storytelling is nowhere near as carefree as being a beggar."

"I don't care," Lanminghua shrugged, saying indifferently.

"So, you're not going to tell me?"

"No, we were just chatting. You are one of the more interesting people I've met in this world, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."

Lin Yu smiled, not intending to hide what was about to happen.

Chapter 197 Corruption, Darkening, and the Complete Sweep

"So, you're going to control me later, make me your puppet, then purge all the major powers in the Xuanwu Kingdom, and then promote your cultivation method?"

Lanminghua remained lying on the ground and, after hearing Lin Yu's words, summarized.

Next to him, there were some snacks.

Just now, when the subordinates who heard the commotion came to check the situation, they were sent here on Lanminghua's orders.

"Yeah, almost."

"After dealing with matters in Xuanwu Kingdom, I also need to make a trip to Ster Kingdom."

Lin Yu nodded, picked up an apple, and ate it as he spoke.

"Sounds like they have grand ambitions, the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique?"

As Lanminghua spoke, he suddenly recited the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique.

"Hmm, it seems you've already discovered it."

"So that cultivation technique was created by you. That's quite unexpected."

"When the members handed it over, I was wondering who was doing charity by leaving the martial arts manual lying around. I never expected that it would be everywhere soon afterward."

"But is there anything special about this technique? I've seen it before, but I didn't find any problems or clues."

"If there were any hidden secrets, so many people cultivating would surely have noticed them."

Lin Yu spun the apple in his hand, leaving only the core.

"That's a bit complicated. I'd rather turn you into my puppet first."

Seeing that Lin Yu seemed unwilling to continue explaining, Lanminghua nodded resignedly.

"Alright then, I can't go against you anyway, so do whatever you want."

"If it could be painless, that would be even better."

Ignoring the guy's nagging, Lin Yu figured it out.

If we were to really continue talking, this guy who's just giving up could talk to you all night.

He reached out and landed on Lanminghua's body, and the power of hatred began to surge.

With the infusion of a trace of emotional energy, Lanminghua's expression began to change noticeably.

His expression was somewhat distorted, and a dark undercurrent was churning deep within his eyes.

Wu Liuqi, standing to the side, watched this scene with a blank expression and no reaction.

As the depth in Lanminghua's eyes deepened until it completely solidified, it all finally came to an end.

"Okay, get up."

After completing the erosion of his rotten life, he gave a shout.

"It seems there isn't much difference, but there's always a feeling of hatred brewing in my heart that makes me want to vent it."

Lanminghua snapped out of his daze, looked down at his hands, and muttered to himself.

Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled.

Compared to Feng Qi and the others, Lin Yu's influence on Wu Liuqi and Lan Minghua was not as severe.

Simply control them and keep them loyal.

As for other things, Lin Yu didn't ask for much.

After all, if they were all turned into the kind of people Kong Qing became after turning evil in the original work, only thinking about causing destruction everywhere, it would not only not help the subsequent development of Mei Hua Shisan, but would also hold them back.

If the entire Xuanwu Kingdom is taken down by then, it will likely create a group of madmen who only know how to destroy.

At that time, it's estimated that it won't just be the Kingdom of Ster and the Kingdom of Xuanwu that are hostile; other surrounding countries will likely also launch wars against them.

"Forget about these things for now. Go and bring me all the cultivation techniques. Also, you should be able to meet the leader of the assassin organization, right?"

"The cultivation techniques are fine, but there are a lot of them, so I need to have someone send them over."

"Also, the leader of the assassin organization, this guy likes to hide his face and is not easy to approach, so we may need to make some arrangements."

"However, it would be more convenient if it were the leader of another force. I can make arrangements for that tomorrow."

"Alright, let's start with the other nearby forces. Arrange to meet with them one by one tomorrow. Don't forget about the assassin organization either."

"No problem, I'll have someone bring all the manuals over right away."

Lanminghua nodded, got up and walked outside, summoning his men and ordering them to quickly prepare martial arts manuals.

As the largest gang, and with a master like Lan Minghua, the Tianlong Gang naturally has a strong foundation.

Over the years, a wealth of martial arts manuals have been accumulated.

Especially the few manuals that Lanminghua had shown to Wu Liuqi, such as the Vajra Indestructible Technique, the Blood Demon Technique, and the Complete Hairstyle Guide.

Although some of them may have abstract names, the content they contain is actually very valuable.

It took about two or three hours for hundreds of martial arts manuals to be delivered to Lin Yu.

"That's about it. All the secret manuals of my Heavenly Dragon Gang are here."

After taking inventory, Lanminghua said to Lin Yu.

"Okay, let's go arrange things for tomorrow. I'll take a look at these manuals."

"Also, don't forget about the Heavenly Demon Sword."

Lin Yu waved his hand, indicating that Lanminghua could go and get busy.

He now needs to take a good look at the martial arts manuals of this world.

"I see."

Lanminghua nodded and left.

"You should go and rest too."

After Lin Yu dismissed Wu Liuqi, he began to scan the martial arts manuals with his divine sense.

'Master, these martial arts manuals are of no use to you, are they?'

In her mind, Mei Hua Thirteen asked with some curiosity.

Lin Yu alone could destroy the world, so these martial arts manuals were really too basic for him.

'No, they won't be useless. Don't underestimate these secret techniques.'

Lin Yu smiled and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea.

Don't underestimate the wisdom accumulated from the experiences of countless people.

'I don't need to practice these techniques, but I can learn from the strengths of your world's martial arts by understanding them.'

'Then, by combining this with my own understanding, even the slightest improvement is immensely beneficial to me.'

Mei Hua Thirteen nodded as if she understood, but she wasn't quite at the level to fully comprehend Lin Yu's words.

Seeing that Mei Hua Thirteen was still somewhat confused, Lin Yu didn't explain too much.

His divine sense quickly scanned all these secret manuals and memorized them, intending to feed them back to his physical body when he returned.

As for research and study, that's not what he needs to do right now.

He was just a wisp of a soul; it was better to leave such complex deductions to the main body.

All he can do now is write all of this down.

Lin Yu also plans to bring back the technology system he acquired in the country of Ster in this way.

Although this might be a bit troublesome, and a little terrible.

But for a better future, it's worth the hard work.

'Alright, that's enough. I've finished reading these manuals. Here's your body back; go and rest.'

"Return control of the body to Mei Hua Thirteen," Lin Yu said.

'So fast?!'

'But Master, you didn't even touch it.'
