Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"If you obey me, I'll make sure the people here treat Haicheng well. If you don't, I'll kill it right now," Lin Yaoxie threatened.

The boy then obeyed and stopped resisting.

However, Lin Yaoxie still gave a reminder:

"Never entertain the thought of betraying me, or you will be instantly annihilated."

Tong Zixin shuddered, never expecting this person to be so ruthless.

Then Lin Yaoxie left, satisfied.

In the following days, he frantically plundered all the rare and precious herbs and elixirs left behind in Haicheng, putting them all into his own pocket.

Then he was very surprised to find that the space on his body was not enough, so he coerced the system to create a portable storage space for him.

Besides being an essential piece of equipment for tackling tough situations, it can hold a lot of things and be readily available.

To avoid situations where resources are insufficient outside.

The system reluctantly created a storage space for him inside its own body.

Lin Yaoxie then happily put it in.

He practically filled the warehouse to the brim with all sorts of elixirs and herbs; he even took people's flower fields. He even snatched two rare geese, claiming they would be used to replenish their spiritual energy on the road.

Ever since Hai Linglan married him, she seems to have lost all her spiritual energy. She stops cultivating whenever she can and just wanders around the city lord's mansion, sometimes not even leaving the house.

Later, when Lin Yaoxie was about to leave, he regained his composure.

"Uncle Butler, is what you said true? That jinx is finally leaving?" Hai Linglan asked, her face beaming with surprise.

The butler seemed relieved, smiling as he spoke to his former princess, as if some great joy had occurred.

"Yes, Princess, he told me himself yesterday that he will probably be leaving tomorrow."

Hai Linglan was naturally overjoyed. As long as he left, he wouldn't have to live that hellish life anymore.

"Princess, Princess, what's wrong?" the steward asked.

Hai Linglan then realized that she had been daydreaming and quickly came back to her senses, saying:

"It's nothing. Uncle Butler was just thinking about something and that's why he was a little distracted."

"How many times have I told you, stop calling her princess, call her madam, understand?"

But for some reason, he felt a little disappointed.

Chapter Fifty-Six: A Minor Punishment

The two were talking when the sound they least wanted to hear came from the doorway.

Hai Linglan's expression immediately changed, and she quickly shielded the butler behind her, but then explained as if to say:

"No, my husband, please don't misunderstand. He just got used to calling him Uncle Butler and hasn't changed it yet."

Lin Yaoxie avoided looking at the butler, whose head was already bowed so low it was almost dripping down his neck.

"Really? How come Ah Lan can change her way of calling me husband, but he can't?" Lin Yaoxie said.

The butler immediately lay down on the ground, trembling with fear, as if Lin Yaoxie would take his life at any moment.

"No...no, Lord City Lord! I just...I just felt that calling you Madam this way was more affectionate. I watched you grow up, and I've always called you that since I was little." Hai Linglan nodded hurriedly, afraid that Lin Yaoxie would kill the steward with a single blow.

"Oh, really? I don't quite believe it. And judging from the tone of your conversation just now, you seemed quite happy about my leaving!" Lin Yaoxie also turned his attention to Hai Linglan.

Hai Linglan immediately tensed up, realizing that in his heart, this person beside him was just as terrifying.

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, but it made sense, since he was the one who had taken away the happy life he originally had.

Besides, isn't he the main villain? Why think about all this nonsense? Just focus on your own happiness.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie struck the butler with a palm, but it didn't kill him.

The butler coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, trembling as he looked at Lin Yaoxie.

Hai Linglan was also startled by his sudden outburst. After a moment of shock, she ran to the butler to protect him.

"Husband, he really didn't mean it, please let him go," Hai Linglan pleaded.

Lin Yaoxie patted the dust off his hands and said:

“I don’t want his life today, I just want to teach him a lesson so he remembers who his master is now. If he continues to forget his place, I won’t hesitate to send him to hell with those elders.”

Then he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving only the butler and Hai Linglan staring at each other in bewilderment.

In fact, Hai Linglan had sensed it a few days ago, because she also had someone in the manor who was always loyal to her, and he would occasionally send her messages.

He had learned a couple of days ago that Lin Yaoxie had been collecting all sorts of treasures from the mansion, and Yanran looked like she was packing her bags.

In the past, Hai Linglan would have happily gone over to help him pick out all sorts of treasures. But now, Hai Linglan wished he would leave immediately.

“Uncle Butler, are you alright? I have some excellent medicine here, take one quickly.” Hai Linglan quickly helped the butler up and handed him a bottle of medicine.

The steward repeatedly thanked his princess for her kindness, and then took the pill.

Lin Yaoxie went to set up his grand formation. He set up a grand formation in the city lord's hall to prevent anyone from usurping the position of city lord and stealing the power of wishes here while he was away.

Even though the boy was here to protect him, he was still worried. After all, one person's strength is very limited, and it would be bad if he were lured away.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Peerless Array

After all, that boy was so dull-witted; he didn't believe in his intelligence. What else could he do besides brute force? So the safest method was to set up a large formation there.

So, without any shame, he asked the system for a manual on formations. He had been studying this formation for the past few days and finally found a very useful one yesterday. It was a formation that recognized its master.

This formation is called the Killing Formation, but it is not actually a formation that focuses solely on killing; rather, it is primarily for defense.

When someone who is not approved by the master enters the formation, the formation will immediately activate its defensive function. Only when the defensive function is breached and the intruder enters the formation will the formation completely transform into a killing formation.

Lin Yaoxie was very satisfied with this formation, mainly because he recognized this point, which made the formation very intelligent.

Moreover, these 810 formations are set up in the City Lord's Hall, where spiritual energy and the power of wishes will continuously nourish the formations. Their power will never be weakened.

Therefore, in terms of defense, unless you are an exceptionally skilled person, you cannot even break through the defenses. Even if you do break through, there are even more powerful killing formations inside.

Lin Yaoxie spent the entire night setting up a grand formation in the city hall, and it is finally nearing completion today.

His purpose today is to place a crucial element into the array's core—the element that imbues the entire array with a soul, allowing it to recognize its master and automatically activate its defense and attack capabilities.

What he held in his hand was a pearl lost in the ocean, something that only existed in human legends, but in reality, it was not a rare item in the cultivation world.

Why is he able to act as the core of the formation? It's because the pearl he holds is different. It's from the Sea City, which was obtained by a strange man in history. It is said to have been taken from a giant clam that had cultivated for ten thousand years in the deepest part of the East China Sea.

When Haicheng finally bought this hidden gem, it cost a very high price.

However, such treasures from the ocean are usually used in the core of a formation, and Haicheng wouldn't use this particular treasure; it had been sitting untouched in his warehouse. Today, Lin Yaoxie put it to good use.

Lin Yaoxie didn't put it in a box. He directly held it in his hand. It was a fist-sized, deep blue pearl. If you looked closely, you could see the shimmering sea inside, as if the entire sea was inside him.

At this time, the array had not yet been equipped with the Pearl of the Azure Sea, so the array was temporarily indiscriminate and would not defend before attacking. In order to prevent some ignorant people from breaking into the town, he specially sent a servant to guard outside and prevent anyone from approaching the city lord's hall.

But Lin Yaoxie is different. He is the one who created this formation. He knows the structure of this formation. Even if this formation does not recognize its master, he can still enter and exit it safely.

So he took this hidden gem directly inside, and soon the entire formation began to tremble.

Originally, the entire formation was a layer of red, filled with an aura of slaughter. But once this pearl from the vast ocean was placed at the core of the formation, the entire formation turned deep blue, and it seemed to suddenly gain sentience.

Lin Yaoxie dripped a drop of his own blood, and the Canghai Relic Pearl emitted a soft light. This signified that he had recognized its master and that their hearts were in harmony.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Master of Formations

Lin Yaoxie directly transmitted his thoughts to the Canghai Relic Pearl, which then began to glow. The light of the entire array began to recede until it disappeared. To outsiders, the City Lord's Hall remained unchanged.

In reality, it's just that the hidden gem is concealing the grand formation. As soon as someone gets close, the grand formation will immediately appear, blocking others from entering, but it won't activate the killing formation.

Unless someone deliberately breaks the formation.

Lin Yaoxie was very satisfied with his masterpiece. He had learned a new skill: formations.

The Dark System Assistant said that in this world, there are also specialized array masters who understand the principles of the Eight Trigrams in the Book of Changes, using heaven and earth as their witness. They can annihilate mountains and rivers with a mere wave of their hand.

Even some of the strongest individuals couldn't contend with these array masters.

Lin Yaoxie initially thought about making his own array for fun, but now he's already taken action. It seems he can try to pave this path.

"Should I ask the system again how this formation absorbs other people's power?"

Lin Yaoxie murmured.

"Host, the power of array masters cannot be absorbed because they themselves don't have much power. They rely on various favorable conditions and harness the power of heaven and earth for their own use, but in reality, their own power is not strong. So even if you drain them dry, you won't absorb much power. You still need to comprehend array formations yourself," the Dark System Assistant said.

Lin Yaoxie raised an eyebrow. Goodness, it turns out this is a very aloof profession!

Other cultivators can use it to absorb the internal energy of others to improve their own cultivation, but arrays are the only exception. However, the more this is the case, the more it arouses Lin Yaoxie's competitive spirit, making him determined to forge himself into an extremely powerful array master.

“I am very pleased that you have this confidence, host.”

Although the system assistant was sincere in saying that the stronger the master's power, the stronger its power would be.

However, his cultivation power alone is already enough to make him very powerful. If his host could create his own path using formations, then the benefits to this system would be even greater.

It is extremely large.

Perhaps it will allow the system to independently detach from this world and transform into a human.

0 to 00 flowers...

Therefore, he was still very willing to support Lin Yaoxie in doing so.

"Alright, alright, as long as you're willing to contribute more resources and other conditions, supporting me is enough. You don't need to just say it verbally," Lin Yaoxie said.

The system scoffed. Sure enough, this kid's advantage couldn't be taken for granted.

"No problem, host. As long as you are truly determined to work hard, I will absolutely not stand in your way," the Dark System Assistant said.

"That's good. Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a very impressive result. You'll be secretly happy then. It's an honor for you to have such a powerful host," Lin Yaoxie said.

system:"……"

That evening, Lin Yaoxie went to see Hai Linglan again and said a few words to him.

"I admit I'm not a good person. I took away all the happiness you had here, and I don't expect you to forgive me. But remember this: you're my woman now, so you'd better protect Lincheng well." - Guang

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Farewell

"Are you... sure you want to leave?" Hai Linglan asked.

He didn't even realize that he hesitated a little when he asked the question. He wasn't as happy as he had been that morning.
