Even if Lin Ye tricked them, it would only be a superficial trade dispute, and Wanbaolou would take the blame for them.
The Mahayana monks in the Holy City were unaware of the true extent of the loss.
The feeling of sneaking around and doing something naughty is so exciting!
......
"Kaiyangzi? I've never heard of him."
Upon receiving Huang Zhou's new report, Lin Ye fell into deep thought.
Not long ago, he charged into the blood mist, and the flames that erupted turned many of the infected into his own creations.
Now, those fiery creatures are marching in great numbers toward the palace.
Although there is a teleportation array not far away at Demon Emperor Mountain.
But there are still many monks going through there, the route is too busy!
Lin Ye's creations were very resilient, and parading them around would increase his reputation, so he returned directly by land.
Along the way, the distance from Demon Emperor Mountain to the palace spanned one-tenth of the Eastern Divine Continent, yet there were no medium-sized or larger forces present.
This area has now completely become Lin Ye's territory.
All medium-sized and larger forces came to join them.
They joined the construction of Heaven on Earth!
Their departure created a power vacuum, which attracted a swarm of smaller factions who profited immensely and maintained order in their respective regions.
Undoubtedly, these smaller factions have received great favors from Lin Ye, and this time they will give his creations the green light to march.
However, there is one noteworthy point... There is a rogue cultivator with several disciples who calls himself Kaiyangzi and always walks at the forefront of Lin Ye's army of creations.
They have been touting Lin Ye's victory in infiltrating the Great Demon's lair and returning triumphant.
Lin Ye discovered that Kaiyangzi and his disciples were the witnesses who had seen him go deep into the Blood Mist!
Those lucky monks.
Judging from Huangzhou's report, they are a group of courageous individuals.
They didn't reveal their identities, but since they could guide Lin Ye's army of creations, they must be extraordinary individuals... Based on this idea, they received preferential treatment from various smaller forces along the way.
They're impersonating someone to commit fraud, but they deliberately don't say who they are...
Presumably, they wouldn't want to offend him.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye chuckled inwardly; these people had really managed to take advantage of the situation...
However, if any force manages to contact Lin Ye to verify their claims along the way, they will be exposed!
However, the forces along the way are small and insignificant, unable to reach the highest levels of government, and they actually managed to fool everyone.
Moreover, the 6-year-old Emu 2 three 罒ba ba 4 group guessed Lin Ye's idea correctly.
Indeed, it is astonishing that my power can cover those infected by the Blood Plague, but what can the outside world do about it?
His power continued to expand and become all-encompassing, so he simply didn't care about these trivial matters.
Kaiyangzi and his group were gambling...
Du Linye didn't mind these messages spreading.
But if they bet on the wrong horse, they won't have to bear the wrath; their fate might be far worse than they can imagine.
"Wow, that's incredibly audacious..."
Lin Ye squinted and said, "Bring them to see me."
Huang Zhou replied, "Yes, Master."
Lin Ye seemed to be deep in thought, vaguely guessing who this group of people were.
Even if they don't leave their mark on history, it's not so common for someone to dare to venture into the Blood Mist, and seemingly have exceptional luck, with a matching number of people and a proper master-disciple relationship.
"The discoverer of the wordless book... that's quite a coincidence."
Lin Ye's eyes flickered.
Although it has not been confirmed yet, there is already a 80-90% chance that it matches.
In the original history, it was this group of masters and disciples who found the wordless book decades later!
The appearance of the wordless celestial book signifies the imminent arrival of a minor immortal realm; it is a gateway connecting a fragmented corner of the immortal world.
This happens to involve the hidden competition that Lin Ye is planning against the Holy City.
I have a special connection with this group of independent cultivators!
Lin Ye planned to bring them over and place them in a strategic location.
This group's luck is exemplary among explorers of secret realms, both historically and in the present, and it also satisfies Lin Ye's collecting obsession.
......
The appearance of the wordless book was originally scheduled to be twenty years after the end of the blood calamity.
Later records state that a group of independent cultivators, master and apprentice, took advantage of the blood mist to explore the secret realm!
During the Blood Calamity, they stumbled upon the secret realm where the Wordless Heavenly Book was located, and it took them decades to reach the deepest ninth level.
After that, the wordless heavenly book appeared, and the Lesser Immortal Realm came into existence!
The rogue cultivators, as if they had encountered aliens, led the advance team of the remnants of the Little Immortal Realm to explore this world.
What they didn't know was that although the Lesser Immortal Realm still had many precious resources, powerful inheritances, and genius cultivators... its scale was insufficient!
Moreover, apart from one powerful figure who was unable to leave the Lesser Immortal Realm, there was no leader among them.
Therefore, they wanted to leave the dilapidated Little Immortal Realm and return to the Four Continents. Only by cooperating with a super power could they best protect themselves and avoid the covetousness of wolves.
This group of rogue cultivators accompanied the remnants of the Lesser Immortal Realm for quite some time, a story that has become legendary.
It's very likely that the survivors of the Lesser Immortal Realm also asked them...
Who is the strongest force on the four continents?
Historically, their answers may have played a role in shaping history.
But whether it had a decisive effect, and whether their answer was indeed to the Holy City, remains to be seen!
As for their fate, it was because they were caught up in too deep a vortex of power, lost their explorer's spirit, and were all swallowed up.
They were able to withstand the terrible bloodshed.
However, they could not withstand the internal strife within a domain as large as the Lesser Immortal Realm or the Holy City.
It is evident that even fortune has its limits, and the undercurrents of a super power are far deeper and darker than the ruins in the blood mist.
If we compare that, Lin Ye's power is much better.
If we exclude the Master, who is usually a mascot, then the only person in charge is Lin Ye.
With his foresight and intelligence, Lin Ye wouldn't make as many misjudgments, making him a very safe... or rather, a very fair elder brother to outsiders seeking refuge!
Now, thanks to the hardworking rat in Lin Ye's family who has been leading the team deep into the secret realm, the wordless book will be born earlier than in history.
The fact that this group of people could participate in such a major event suggests that they must have been blessed with good fortune.
......
Kaiyangzi and his disciples were having a banquet in the reception room of a small sect.
They would not stay long before moving on to the next place, using their silver tongues to become an extension of the Demon Emperor's power in the world.
Just then, the disciples' exclamations came from outside the window. The sect leader put down his teacup and was about to reprimand them when suddenly a strong gust of wind blew open the doors and windows.
Three tall Kunpeng Clan cultivators burst through the door. If one's gaze were not drawn to their magnificent golden wings, one would notice the massive fleet of flying ships that blotted out the sky parked outside the window.
Strange golden inscriptions were engraved on those flying boats.
Seeing this, Kaiyangzi and his group, along with the sect leader, were all stunned.
Those intricate golden inscriptions grew increasingly renowned throughout the Eastern Divine Continent, becoming the coveted target of cultivators with beast bloodlines, representing the elite among the elite under the Demon Emperor's command...
【Wings that Cover the Sky】!
The fleet's general is the renowned Golden Roc King, and it is a super fleet comprising ten fifth-grade flying boat battle groups.
Lin Ye's goal is to gather twenty fleet legions, with each legion's leader being a Mahayana cultivator.
However, at present there are only four fleets: [Wings of Heaven], [Sunfire], [Seal of the Demon Emperor], and [Ultimate Warrior].
The composition consisted of a mixed group of Kunpeng Clan, Golden Crow Clan, nobles from Demon Emperor Mountain, and elite outsiders selected by Huang Zhou for Lin Ye.
"Are you Kaiyangzi? His Majesty wishes to see you. Please come with us." A Kunpeng clan cultivator with narrow eyes and eyebrows said calmly.
"The guilty people are filled with fear and trepidation..."
Kaiyangzi quickly got up, suppressing his trembling.
The Kunpeng clan has come to take people away, which means...
The best-case scenario didn't happen—Lin Ye didn't care whether the news spread or not, nor did he care about these small fry... This was Kaiyangzi's wish.
Now that he's been taken away, it's unclear whether he'll be given an important position or held accountable!
The thought of being held accountable by such a behemoth made Kaiyangzi's four apprentices tremble.
After being taken aboard the flying boat, Kaiyangzi took out a bag of spirit stones. The Kunpeng clan cultivator said with a stern face, "Take it back."
Kaiyangzi apologized repeatedly, inwardly realizing the situation was bad.
He couldn't discern the truth from the faces of the Kunpeng clan members, and he became extremely anxious.
The sect leader, who had just been drinking tea with them, watched the flying boat depart into the distance, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
'Claiming to be a criminal? This Kaiyangzi isn't even from the imperial palace! Where did this Nascent Soul cultivator come from...'
"This actually proves..." The sect leader's pupils contracted sharply, spilling the tea in his mouth, "that what he said was not false!"
......
The news gradually spread, causing quite a stir.
The entire four continents have heard of the new Demon Emperor's methods.
They stormed directly into the Great Demon's lair, burning the blood mist and turning the Blood Calamity Infected into their own creations!
Every experience, regardless of its specific details, has deeply moved countless cultivators.
Soon, the already highly sought-after palace seemed to have broken through a certain critical point.
Even some ancient forces have begun to make contact with forces far beyond the Eastern Divine Continent, conveying friendly intentions.
Despite being driven by Huang Zhou, Kai Yangzi was a pawn who willingly entered the game... As one of the instigators, he stood in front of the reception room with a serious expression.
The apprentices behind him were even more apprehensive.
Just as Lin Ye had thought, Kaiyangzi understood, like any other rogue cultivator, that even the most benevolent giant was dangerous to the ants beneath his feet.
In the eyes of cultivators in the world, Lin Ye was already like a Mahayana cultivator.
Even if he has an excellent reputation and even saved his life.
However, at such close range, they could still be crushed at any moment.
"Enter." A brief voice transmission came from inside the hall.
"Your Majesty... Your sinner pays homage to Your Majesty!"
Kaiyangzi hurriedly stepped into the reception room and was about to kneel down when he was lifted up by a surge of spiritual energy.
"What crime have you committed? Please sit down," Lin Ye said calmly.
"What crime have I committed?" doesn't seem to be a question! Kaiyangzi nervously glanced up and saw that the young demon emperor's face showed no joy or sorrow. His legendary, incomparably handsome face had left no trace in his memory, and he could not see it clearly.
Kaiyangzi then looked at the layout of the scene. On both sides of the square table, eight chairs were arranged facing the same direction. He was immediately at a loss and only dared to sit cautiously in the seat that was one table away from the young demon emperor, with his left landing point faintly at the far end of the chair.
As for the disciples, Kaiyangzi gestured with his eyes, instructing three disciples to sit in three more distant positions, with the junior sister standing at a distance on her own.
Lin Ye waved.
The junior sister, who was standing in the distance, was stunned for a moment. When she realized that the Demon Emperor's hand was pointing at her, she walked over shakily, her heart pounding, not knowing what was about to happen.
Lin Ye pointed to the spot beside her, paused for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."
