Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

"I..." The woman met Ling Yi's eyes, wanting to say that she had no complaints, but the words that came out were: "I feel more at ease if everyone is sent together. Now that they are all leaving, I am scared. Of course I can't let you take them away!"

"No, no..." After hearing her own words, the woman shook her head repeatedly: "No... that's what I really think, they can't leave!"

"They must stay and come with me!"

These words angered the girls who wanted to go home: "Whether to stay or leave is everyone's own choice. No one is forcing you to stay. If you're scared, you can leave now. But you're scared and want to enjoy yourself, thinking that being in a crowd will make you less scared. Why should you?"

Why should we stay just because you're scared?

"You have such a malicious heart!"

"Ignore her, let's go quickly." Some of the girls were starting to get anxious, afraid that if they delayed any longer, something else might go wrong, and they wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Seeing them about to leave, the woman who had spoken looked at Ling Yi and the others with resentment in her eyes: "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, they wouldn't be able to leave even if they wanted to!"

Ling Yi raised an eyebrow: "Since you want to stay so much, then stay forever." Before the woman could say anything, Ling Yi raised his hand, and a force flew out, slicing across the woman's neck, causing her to fall straight down.

"what!"

The other women who had also chosen to stay screamed when they saw this, and huddled together in fear.

Ling looked at them and asked, "You want my help too?"

"No, no, no!" The group shook their heads in fear. "We didn't have that idea."

Ling Yi withdrew his hand and turned to leave.

...

After escaping from the city lord's mansion, the girls thanked Ling Yi repeatedly and then left, leaving only Xu Qingping behind.

Ling looked at him and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

Xu Qingping said, "I don't know where to go."

"You can go wherever you want." After saying that, Ling Yi called Bai Jiu and Ye Qing Shuang to leave.

Xu Qingping watched the three figures leave, rubbed the storage ring on his hand, and thought again of what Ling Yi had said before leaving.

He came to the city lord's mansion to seek revenge. Now that the man is dead, he can go home, but there is no one there. His mother... there is no news of her.

Since he has nowhere else to go, he can go to his mother.

...

After leaving the city lord's mansion, Ling Yi and his companions returned to the inn. The waiter, who was greeting guests, saw the three of them and his expression changed drastically. However, before he could speak, he never had the chance to say anything more.

As Xiao Er fell, screams erupted, and the inn descended into chaos. Ling Yi caught the innkeeper, who was trying to escape in the confusion, and dragged him to meet with those who had kidnapped them that day, killing them all.

After settling everyone in, Ling Yi chose an empty room, filled the bathtub with water, and soaked in it.

After washing off the blood and changing his clothes, Ling Yi contacted Tian Yan: "How many times have you accumulated today?"

Tianyan said: [Killed 173 people, effective number 150, gained 15 unsealings, saved 17 people, plus the 3 left over from before, a total of 20 people, can be unsealed 4 times, this time a total of 19 times.]

After listening, Ling Yi said, "Thirty-three plus nineteen, fifty times plus two more, not bad."

[You've had enough chances to be unsealed; now we just need to wait for your cultivation level to improve.] Tianyan asked Ling Yi: [Would you like to find a place to focus on your cultivation?]

"No, thank you." Ling Yi said, "I'm still two levels short. I can cultivate while traveling, which will allow me to accumulate more cultivation attempts along the way."

【it is good. 】

...

After dealing with the people at the inn, Ling Yi and his companions left the border town and headed to the next city.

On the way there, Ling Yi originally planned to repeat her old trick, inciting someone to kill another person to accumulate more kills, but before she could arrive in Flower Dance City to carry out her plan, someone attacked them.

There were quite a few people who came, and they were all full of malice.

After dealing with the men, Ling Yi found a wanted poster on them. When he saw the reward on it, he chuckled and said, "Who says the Lan Yue Empire is bad? The Lan Yue Empire is wonderful."

Money can be a powerful motivator. They wanted a reward, so they naturally harbored ill intentions towards her. She didn't even need to resort to her old tricks; the Lan Yue Empire had already lured them here for her. How could that not be good?

Ye Qingshuang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that only the three of them were on the wanted poster: "It's a good thing Xu Qingping isn't here."

Otherwise, given Xu Qingping's condition, he would undoubtedly die.

Ling Yi just smiled upon hearing this and didn't reply.

Given Xu Qingping's appearance in Lanyue, if he doesn't change his tendency to be overly kind, he'll get into trouble sooner or later.

"Let's go." Ling Yi tossed aside the wanted poster in his hand and continued on his way: "We're going to be busy from now on."

Ye Qingshuang followed, saying, "This time you can kill to your heart's content."

Ling Yi responded, "Mm."

"Ling Yi, why did you deliberately plot to kill those people before?"

"Didn't I tell you?"

"I don't believe it." Ye Qingshuang didn't believe that Ling Yi's plan was simply to kill people. However, the fact that those people took the bait meant they deserved to die. Ye Qingshuang was just curious why Ling Yi would do such a thing.

Ling Yi naturally couldn't tell Ye Qingshuang that she killed people to unlock her power. The more she kept quiet, the more curious Ye Qingshuang became, and eventually she even became curious about the white wine.

The two followed Ling Yi and fought their way to Flower Dance City.

What took the flying beast two days took the three of them half a month. During those two weeks, Ling Yi killed people almost every day, day and night, with people constantly coming to their deaths.

In just half a month, I accumulated thirty times.

Upon learning this, Ling Yi praised the Lan Yue Empire to the skies in front of Tian Yan.

Tianyan: [...]

"Besides thanking the Lan Yue Empire, I also want to thank you." Under the cover of night, Ling Yi sat by the fire, roasting meat and chatting with Tian Yan: "If it weren't for your treatment, I wouldn't have been able to maintain a good condition to kill people."

Tianyan Dao: [01, there's actually no need to rush.]

Ling Yi didn't respond to that, but instead said, "You've helped me so many times, so next time you treat me, you can raise the price by half."

Turning one spirit stone into two is still affordable.

Tianyan asked: "Are you really that grateful to me?"

Ling Yi: "Really."

"Can you promise me one thing?" Tianyan said. "Consider it a way of repaying my gratitude. If you agree, I'll continue to charge you the same price for future treatments."

Ling Yi thought for a moment: "What is it you want to say first?"

Tianyan: [Reach the Spirit Venerable realm in cultivation, and unlock your body's strength to one percent before going to Flower Dance City.]

Upon hearing what Tianyan said, Ling Yi paused in her action of turning the branch to roast the meat. In the firelight, her eyes flickered with light, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Ling Yi remained silent, and Tian Yan also stopped speaking.

After a long while, Ling Yi finally replied, "Okay."

Seeing that Ling Yi agreed, Tian Yan said, "Good luck!"

"Hmm," Ling Yi responded, without asking any further questions or saying anything more.
