The system is the proficiency panel

At the moment when the saint was retreating and tearing the vines, Lin Ji, who had already made sufficient preparations, also moved through space and appeared below the saint. Countless sword intentions were restrained in the Canyang Sword, and he swung out the sword that had been accumulated for a long time.

Split the sky!

The humming sound of the Settling Sun Sword cut through the clouds. Before the sword arrived, the murderous intent had already condensed into substance. The sword slashed from bottom to top, and the sword energy was like a dormant dragon breaking through the abyss, and the sea of ​​clouds collapsed wherever it passed.

The saint's reaction speed was very fast. She spotted Lin Ji immediately, stopped pulling the vines, and put her hands together in front of her body while enduring the piercing pain. But how could she block Lin Ji's long-planned attack in such a hurry? The Canyang Sword cut the opponent's body in half without any hindrance, and tiny black cracks spread rapidly from where the Canyang Sword passed.

The space crack appeared and disappeared quickly, and was repaired in just one second, but its power was unquestionable. The dark crack was like a hungry beast biting along the sword track. Her gorgeous robes, flesh and blood, and even her soul were torn into pieces and devoured, leaving only a few strands of hair dancing in the wind.

Lin Ji shook his head helplessly upon seeing this. Although he wanted to spare the other person's life so that he could interrogate him later, he could not control the spatial cracks that appeared when he used the Sky-Splitting Technique. He could only say that he was unlucky. Not even a trace of his soul was left. He hoped that Zi Xin would be able to gain something.

Then Lin Ji thought of the masked man again. He fell down after being hit by the light ball attack. Until now, the saint has died and he has not come up. No one knows whether he is dead or escaped.

Thinking of this, Lin Ji did not chase after him immediately, but took out a few pills and swallowed them to replenish his dried up Qi sea. The last attack just launched had almost drained all the spiritual power from his Qi sea. Now, if he could build the foundation in the second realm normally, he would probably be able to chase him for a while.

After his Qi Sea recovered the third level of spiritual power, Lin Ji quickly descended from the height of the atmosphere, looking for the location where the masked man fell.

Half a minute later, Lin Ji found the mountain where the masked man fell and the deep pit he created, but there was no sign of him. He used his mental power to scan the surroundings, but only found the man's lingering breath from long ago, but he himself had disappeared long ago.

In addition, he also discovered the auras of Ye Zizhen, Zuo Benqing and others. After knowing that they had already returned, he did not stay here for long and turned around and flew towards Hongxia City.

……

The dawn broke in Hongxia City. Because the riot that occurred in Hongxia City last night was quickly suppressed, except for the eyewitnesses on the scene, most citizens were unaware of it and slept soundly. Therefore, Hongxia City was still calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

The glazed windows in the Ye family mansion filtered the morning light into a light golden color, but it could not illuminate the warmth of Ye Zizhen. She clutched the window frame with her knuckles. She stood there looking at the sky outside the window, feeling uneasy. Ouyang Yun, who was studying Duan Ming's body with great interest, could not help laughing.

"Are you still worried about Michiko?"

"No, through the soul contract, I can feel that my brother's condition is gradually recovering. If nothing unexpected happens, he has won. I am just wondering when he will come back. I want to ask him something..."

After Ye Zizhen finished speaking, he moved his gaze from the window to the house, and saw Ouyang Yun abandoning the unconscious Duan Ming and turning to look for Ruoye, who had woken up but was silent.

She immediately glared and stepped forward to stop him, pulling Ouyang Yun's arm and shaking it, speaking softly.

"Sister Ouyang, didn't you promise me to wait for my brother to come back before deciding what to do with Ruoye?"

"I'm just curious about the strange patterns you mentioned. Besides, I haven't made a move yet. She's still an enemy after all. It's not good to get too emotional."

As Ouyang Yun spoke, she reached out and touched Ye Zizhen's soft golden hair. She walked to the sofa in a happy mood and chatted with Ye Wanjun and others who were building their artistic conception, waiting for Daozi to come back.

Ruoye watched everything that was happening in front of her, but still did not move. She lay motionless on the chair like a rag doll. Her face was as pale as paper, and her originally bright and beautiful face now looked a little haggard.

Seeing her like this, Ye Zizhen couldn't help but feel angry. He really wanted to ask her if she had been close to him since he was a child just because of the prophecy. Was their friendship fake? Was she standing by and watching his father's death just so that the prophecy could continue accurately?

These questions made Ye Zizhen feel very uncomfortable. Just as she was about to leave, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.

"You look so upset, what's wrong?"

When Ye Zizhen heard the voice, he looked up suddenly. When he saw Lin Ji standing beside him, his dull pupils suddenly lit up, but then immediately went out. He lowered his eyebrows and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother, I screwed up again and let Chen Chen run away."

"It's okay. One of my guys ran away too. Besides, Chen Chen doesn't know much about the Holy Church. It's not important in my opinion."

Lin Ji pointed at Ruoye and Duan Ming to comfort them, and as expected, Chen Chen was rescued by the masked man he had let go, so there was even less reason to blame Ye Zizhen.

At this time, Ye Wanjun and others also left the sofa and gathered around. They could see that Lin Ji's spiritual energy was greatly depleted, but apart from the torn clothes, there were no major wounds on his body, so they felt relieved.

Lin Ji looked at them and asked first.

"Zuo Benqing, how is Yue Feng doing?"

"When I came here, he was still leading people to intercept those sudden attacking enemies. They have a large number but are not strong. It should be almost over now."

Zuo Benqing gave a brief explanation, and then told what happened when he brought Ye Zizhen and others back. After listening to it, Lin Ji was convinced of his previous guess that Chen Chen was indeed taken away by the masked man, so he nodded to indicate that he understood, and did not blame the other party for not continuing to chase.

After the two finished talking, Ouyang Yun stepped forward, bowed to Lin Ji, and then asked.

"Diaozi, how should we deal with these two people? Should we interrogate them first, or should we send Zhu Lin to extract their memories directly? I suggest that extracting their memories directly is simpler. Although there will be side effects, it is not that troublesome. We still have to verify the authenticity."

"Just draw it now. We don't have time to wait. We must find out the origin of the Holy Church and what secret technique the Saint used to instantly cross the realm and catch up with me in strength."

As Lin Ji spoke, he glanced at Duan Ming's situation and found that the other party's spiritual power had recovered, but he was still in a dormant state controlled by him, so he gave orders.

"Ouyang Yun, call Zhu Lin over now and extract Duan Ming's memories first. Duan Ming is over a hundred years old and her memories are quite long. Zhu Lin will have a lot of work to do, and the gap between their abilities is too big. Aren't you a little interested in Wu Sheng? You can just help watch over her and prevent her from being devoured by the other party's soul."

"Okay, what about this little girl?"

Ouyang Yun agreed first, then pointed at Ruoye who had been silent.

"She..."

When Lin Ji was lost in thought, Ye Zichen suddenly pulled at the corner of his clothes and asked in a low voice.

"Brother, what are the side effects Aunt Ouyang mentioned?"

"If you don't resist when your memory is extracted, then there will be basically no problem. But if you resist, at best your soul and brain will be irreversibly damaged, causing amnesia, dementia, etc., or at worst your soul will perish."

Lin Ji knew that the two were good friends, and could also see that Ye Zizhen cared about Ruoye very much, but she was his sister after all, so he patiently explained to her.
