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

Upon hearing this, Lin Chengtian immediately asked, "Where are you going?"

Ling glanced at him and said, "Go to the temple."

Lin Chengtian nodded: "I understand, be careful."

Seeing that Lin Chengtian didn't say much, Ye Qingshuang was a little surprised. In the past, when Ling Yi acted alone, he would ask questions and try to dissuade him if the place he went was too dangerous. This time, he didn't try to dissuade him, which was quite rare.

"Okay." Ling Yi responded, then looked at Tian Yan, who was about to speak, and said, "You can join them too."

Tianyan originally wanted to go with Lingyi, but seeing that Lingyi didn't want to, he didn't say anything and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

After explaining things to the others, Ling Yi parted ways with them and headed alone to the Snowfield Temple.

...

The Snowfield Temple is located on the highest peak north of Tianxiang City. There is a protective barrier at the foot of the mountain, and disciples patrol the area. No one can enter without a temple token. If someone forcibly enters, it will alert the temple disciples.

Ling Yi didn't have a token, so the only way to get in was to force his way in.

As waves of power struck the protective barrier, they quickly alerted the patrolling disciples. Upon discovering that someone had forcibly broken in, the patrolling disciples rushed to the location where the barrier had been attacked.

When the disciples arrived, they saw Ling Yi attacking the protective barrier and asked sternly, "Who are you? Why are you attacking the protective barrier?"

Looking at the temple disciples inside the barrier, Ling Yi's face showed a mocking smile: "I want to see your temple master."

Upon hearing Ling Yi say she wanted to see the Palace Master, the patrol team leader said coldly, "If you want to see our Palace Master, you should first introduce yourself and then state your purpose. Otherwise, we will not be able to pass on your message."

"What brings you here?" Upon hearing this, Ling Yi's sneer deepened: "Tell your palace master that if he does not see me, I will reveal the secret of the Lifeless Sect to the entire Snow Region."

"The secret of having no career?" The squad leader frowned. "What secret could there be about having no career?"

Seeing that the patrol captain was unaware, Ling Yi chuckled and said more bluntly: "Of course, it's the secret that your temple disciples can enter the Boundless Realm and come out alive, while other cultivators cannot."

Upon hearing this, a disciple immediately shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? We disciples of the temple are able to enter because we are always led by elders with high cultivation levels. We enter and leave based on our strength. How is that a secret?"

"that is!"

"This is a temple, not a place where just anyone can come and say whatever they want. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Ling Yi wasn't angry at being teased by his disciples. He said slowly, "Whether there's a secret or not isn't up to you to decide. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to convey what I've said to your Palace Master. He will see me after he hears it, but only if you convey it truthfully. If you don't, and you waste the time I've given you, don't blame me for telling this secret to the people of the Snow Region."

Seeing the disciples' displeased expressions and their lack of concern, Ling Yi reminded them, "It's just a message, nothing serious. But if you don't convey it, there will be consequences, and you'll be in big trouble."

After saying that, Ling Yi said no more and walked to the side to wait.

The disciples, who hadn't taken Ling Yi's words seriously before, looked at each other and hesitated upon seeing this.

The captain glanced at Ling Yi and said to the others, "Step back a bit before we talk."

Upon hearing this, the others followed suit and left. Once they were far away from Ling Yi, the group stopped and discussed whether to convey Ling Yi's words to the temple.

Some disciples felt that Ling Yilian's claim of having no background and secrets was utter nonsense, and advised against reporting it. They argued that if it were reported, there would be no secrets, and they might even get scolded.

Some disciples felt that they should convey the message. As Ling Yi said, they were just conveying it. If Ling Yi was talking nonsense, they would at most be scolded. But if there was something they didn't know and they didn't convey it, the consequences would be more than just being scolded.

After arguing over their differing opinions, the two looked at the captain, who had remained silent, and asked, "Captain, what do you think?"

"Report it." The captain's gaze swept over them: "The unknown consequences are far more serious than the known reprimands."

Upon hearing this, the disciples who had initially opposed the idea fell silent.

The captain didn't say anything more. He took out the communication stone and reported the matter. Given his position, he couldn't contact the Palace Master directly. He could only contact his superior, who would then contact the higher-ups.

To prevent the higher-ups from taking it lightly and making them take the blame if something went wrong, the team leader exaggerated the situation. After listening, the higher-ups thought about it for a moment and then passed the matter on.

As the accusations from those behind grew increasingly serious, the news quickly reached the Elder Hall. When the elders heard the phrase "the secret of no life," their expressions changed drastically. They asked the messenger, "She said she only gave him a quarter of an hour?"

The person who reported the news said, "Third Elder, that's what she said."

The Third Elder said in a deep voice, "It's almost time. Go and bring her back yourself, and bring back the patrolling disciples who had contact with her as well. Bring them directly to the Elder Hall. Don't let them have any contact with anyone else. I will contact the Hall Master and have him come here."

Upon hearing what the Third Elder said, the person who reported the news knew that something serious had indeed happened, and dared not delay, so he personally led a group to pick up the person.

Down the mountain, with time running out and no one coming from up the mountain, the patrol team members were getting anxious. If no one came soon and something happened, wouldn't they be the ones to take the blame?

"Captain!" the other members of the team called out, hoping their captain could buy them some time.

The captain understood their meaning and was about to step forward to negotiate with Ling Yi when a clear bird song came from above. Hearing that sound, the disciples all breathed a sigh of relief—someone had arrived!

The captain looked up at the five white snowbirds rapidly approaching, his expression not only not becoming more relaxed, but becoming even more solemn.

Someone has arrived. Does this prove that what she said is true?

What are the secrets behind a careerless life?

Under the captain's watchful eye, the white jade snowbird stopped, and the person on it flew down, bypassing the disciples and heading straight for Ling Yi outside the barrier.

"Young lady." The leading man stopped in front of Ling Yi and subtly sized her up. "The Elders invite you."

Ling Yi didn't say anything and went straight into the barrier.

When the subordinate who came with the man saw Ling Yi approaching, he took out his token and passed it over the barrier. The barrier opened a gap, and Ling Yi passed through smoothly.

Seeing Ling Yi enter the barrier, the man led the others to follow. When they passed the patrol team, he instructed, "I have ordered other teams to come and relieve you in advance. You will come with us to the Elder Hall."

The disciples in the patrol team were a little flustered when they heard this. Why did they also have to go to the Elder Hall?

"Yes," the captain replied.

Upon hearing the captain's response, the other disciples quickly followed suit.

The man ignored them and boarded the same flying beast as Ling Yi.

The white jade snowbird was very fast and returned to the mountain in no time. The man remembered the Third Elder's instructions and had the white jade snowbird fly directly to the sky above the Elder Hall.

Upon arrival, the man led Ling Yi into the Elder Hall. The guards of the Elder Hall had been ordered not to stop or question them, so the group quickly arrived at the main hall of the Elder Hall.

Ling Yi followed the man into the main hall. As soon as they entered, a powerful aura swept over them. The man leading the way paused and stopped. The disciples who had followed him knelt down immediately. Ling Yi, however, seemed oblivious. He walked past the man to the center of the hall, calmly scanning everyone present. Finally, his gaze settled on the two people directly in front of him, and he sneered, "Your show of force isn't very impressive."
