Becoming a Saint Starts with Copying Martial Arts

Chapter 157 Lin Siming

"General Yang, there's no need to praise me like that. Looking back now, I still feel a chill of fear," Lin Qing said softly.

"It's fine for young people to be a little arrogant. In any case, Sima Yi died at your hands, which is a great achievement. I will immediately announce this to the whole city. You can go to the treasury and choose two more martial arts techniques. In addition, I will report to the Shuzhou Soul Suppression Division. According to the rules, the Shuzhou Soul Suppression Division should also reward those who kill the leader of a branch of the Bai'er Sect," Yang Chenglu said.

"Thank you, sir!" Lin Qing bowed.

After chatting for a while, Lin Qing left.

That afternoon, Yang Chenglu issued a notice, and the news of Sima Yi's execution quickly spread throughout the Zhenhun Division and then to the prefectural city.

The Soul Suppressing Division was in an uproar, and Lin Qing once again became the topic of everyone's discussion.

at this time.

In the courtyard.

Lin Qing was drinking with Wei Dong and others. They had just learned of Sima Yi's execution and rushed over immediately.

"My goodness, Brother Lin, are you the evil spirit, or is the Spirit-Devouring Demon the evil spirit? I think the Spirit-Devouring Demon's growth rate can't keep up with yours." Wei Dong complained while eating donkey meat sandwich.

"Yes, Sima Yi actually died at your hands! I, Lady Ma, will have something to be proud of when I go out now. Let's see who dares to bully me, haha!" Ma Ziye laughed loudly.

Lin Qing took a small sip of the warm wine and smiled, "I've said it so many times, it was just good luck. Before I made my move, Sima Yi had already been seriously injured by Chief Envoy Yang and Jin Yulong, the head of the Jin family. If it weren't for that, I would never have been a match for Sima Yi."

"Brother Lin, don't explain anymore. Luck is also part of strength. If it were me, my legs would go weak when I saw Sima Yi. Even if he just lay there and didn't move, I wouldn't dare to go over," Wei Dong said.

"Look at your manners," Ma Ziye said disdainfully.

"What? Aren't you afraid?" Wei Dong retorted. "This heroine, well, this heroine is afraid too!" Ma Ziye finally chickened out.

"That settles it then," Wei Dong said with a smile.

"Come on, let's drink! Stop talking and cheers!" Li Ping shouted from the side.

"Cheers!"

..

into the night.

North of Ishikawa Prefecture, on a large, emerald-green river, a wooden boat, about ten feet long, was traveling south along the river.

On the bow deck, a bald, burly man in a black robe stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the increasingly clear Ishikawa Castle.

He had an extremely fierce appearance, with triangular eyes, tattoos on his face, and a natural aura of killing intent emanating from him.

"Reporting to you, sir, a believer has sent a message via hawk from Ishikawa Prefecture."

Suddenly, a thin young man rushed over and knelt down on one knee behind the man.

"Speak," the man said without turning his head.

"Sima Yi is dead, the spirit-devouring demon possessed the boy and his whereabouts are unknown, and now the Yin Yuan Sect is in disarray. Within three days, twelve strongholds have been destroyed and thousands of believers have been killed," the young man said loudly.

"Hmm?" Li Wantao frowned, turned around abruptly, snatched the secret letter, and scanned it up and down, taking in all its contents.

"Useless! To die at the hands of a mere youth, the Yin Yuan Sect should have changed its leader long ago." Li Wantao flicked his hand, and the secret letter flew out, landing in the churning torrent beside him.

"My lord, what should we do now?" a woman with a graceful figure wearing a purple veil asked softly beside him.

"Continue onward. Three things: First, kill Lin Qing. My branch leader of the Baier Sect died at his hands. This grudge must be avenged. The dignity of the Baier Sect is inviolable!"

Second, integrate the major forces of the Yin Yuan Sect and establish a new leader.

Third, find the incarnation of the Devouring Spirit Demon and bring it back to the headquarters of the Byr Cult. "Li Wantao said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

The people around them all responded in unison.

.

"Lord Lin, this is a gift sent by the Cao family. This basket contains eggs laid by a golden rooster. I've heard that the golden rooster is a spirit beast raised by the Cao family, and these eggs are a natural tonic. Regular consumption can strengthen the body and improve cultivation."

In a pavilion of the Jingming Division, Lin Qing listened to a young man's report. The young man was respectful and placed a basket of eggs on a table beside him.

Lin Qing glanced at the basket and saw that each egg shimmered with golden light; they were indeed very beautiful.

"Step down."

"Yes." The young man bowed and left the room.

"This is already the fifth visiting card we've received today. Your esteemed reputation has spread throughout the city," Hu Zongyao remarked with envy.

"It's just empty fame; real strength is what matters," Lin Qing said calmly.

"At such a young age, you have such a mindset; no wonder you have achieved so much." Hu Zongyao naturally offered a compliment.

At this moment, Wang Ling pushed open the door and walked in.

"Lin Qing, have you found any clues about the Devouring Spirits Demons these past few days?" Wang Ling asked.

He was a restless soul, and these past few days he hadn't been idle either, leading his men on attacks in all directions, and in one fell swoop destroyed seven strongholds of the Yin Yuan Sect.

"No, the Devouring Spirit Demon is elusive, and catching him is by no means easy," Lin Qing said.

"Then let's wait a bit longer. By the way, be careful during this time. Yesterday, someone from the Soul Suppression Division of Shu came and informed Chief Envoy Yang that the Bai'er Sect has sent a branch leader named Li Wantao to take the Devouring Spirit Demon to the Bai'er Sect headquarters. In addition, this person is vicious and vengeful, and has a close relationship with Sima Yi. It's hard to guarantee that he won't make a move against you. You must be careful," Wang Ling explained.

"Understood, I will keep that in mind." Lin Qing nodded.

He had heard that the Bai'e Sect in Shu had multiple branch leaders, each of whom had multiple branch leaders under them, and each branch leader in turn commanded a force that occupied a city, such as the Yin Yuan Sect.

"However, you don't need to worry too much. I heard that the person who came from the Soul Suppression Division of Shu this time is a very important figure with extremely strong strength. His name is Lin Siming. You should try to get to know him more in the future. Perhaps you will have the opportunity to go to Shuzhou City and join the Soul Suppression Division of Shuzhou," Wang Ling added.

Lin Qing nodded slightly, also curious about who this Lin Siming really was.

..

Two days later.

In a teahouse in the eastern part of Ishikawa Prefecture, Li Wantao sat at a table by the window on the second floor, gazing at the long street below, his hand caressing the warm teacup.

"My lord, it has been confirmed that all three protectors of the Yin Yuan Sect have perished. Only a few hall masters remain scattered outside the city. I have made contact with them, and they will come to this teahouse to meet you tomorrow afternoon," a thin young man dressed in black said in a low voice.

"They're all dead?" Li Wantao exerted a little force in his hand and suddenly crushed the teacup. "In that case, it will take at least five years for the Yin Yuan Sect to recover to its peak. What a pity."

At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the side room.

"Who?"

"Sir, your pastries have arrived," a young man responded from outside the door.

"Come in."

With a creak, a young man in a purple robe pushed open the door and entered, a piece of pastry in his mouth and a round plate in his hand, on which were placed several pieces of mung bean cake, stacked on top of each other in a tower shape, but the top of the tower was missing.

The thin young man glanced at them and then flew into a rage: "How dare you!"
