"I was only passing by. It just so happened that …" At this moment, the black clothed man hurriedly organized his thoughts and spoke …
"Heh … just happened to pass by?"
Lin Ray was speechless when he saw that the black clothed man was able to lie without blushing. He had been there since the beginning and had been staring at this place. If he was just passing by, he would not have stayed here for such a long time.
Furthermore, he had only appeared after the black clothed man had unleashed his murderous aura. Therefore, Lin Ray would not believe the black clothed man's nonsense of merely passing by.
"That's right, I was just passing by. However …"
The black clothed man's eyes were like lightning as he stared at Lin Ray. A trace of iciness was released from his eyes as he said, "However, I was just passing by and had actually discovered a powerful cultivator like you. I'm a little puzzled. May I know if you can give me the answer I want?"
"Heh …"
"Tell me! It depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I'll tell you. If I'm in a bad mood … tsk tsk! "Lin Ray was well aware of the black clothed man's thoughts. Therefore …
"I'm even more curious …" The black clothed man stared at Lin Ray as he spoke, "I'm even more curious as to why a powerful existence like you would come to my Symbol Sect. Moreover … why would you participate in such a meaningless competition? It should be extremely easy for you to obtain the first place, right?"
"That's right!"
Lin Ray shrugged his shoulders in disbelief. "Obtaining the first place is indeed extremely easy and effortless. In fact … it would be the same if I were to kill you. However, so what?"
"I am doing what I like. Are you going to stick your nose into this as well?"
A sharp gaze shot towards the black clothed man as he spoke. The black clothed man was stunned when he sensed Lin Ray's gaze. His body instinctively took a step back and his body even instinctively assumed a defensive posture.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Lin Ray asked with interest as he stared at the black clothed man's defensive posture. Lin Ray was exceptionally patient when it came to the black clothed man.
"I …" The black clothed man subconsciously wanted to reply to Lin Ray's question. "I … I am more curious. You said that you like it but … I do not believe that you do not have any other needs in the Symbol Sect."
"Furthermore, this Exalted … believes that your strength has already … I believe that in the Divine Realm, only a certain class of people would dare to use this title. What I am more curious about is who gave you the courage to do so."
"Heh … who gave me the guts?" Looking at the man in black, Lin Ray suddenly had the urge to laugh, but … at this moment, he was talking to him. It was actually quite interesting.
The man in black didn't believe that he was a Divine Venerable cultivator because he didn't believe that a Divine Venerable cultivator would be so bored as to come to the Talisman Sect to do something so boring.
Furthermore. Furthermore, the Lin Ray before him was simply too young. He did not believe that such a young person would actually be an existence that stood at the apex of the Divine Realm. He did not believe … nor did he dare to think in that direction.
Therefore, he subconsciously led the indicator that was originally leading in the right direction to the wrong path again.
"That's right. Who gave you the courage? You should know that if a Divine Venerable cultivator were to find out what you call yourself, I'm afraid … you won't be able to live for long."
"Of course …" The man in black who wanted to see Lin Ray's frightened expression was filled with disappointment. That was because not only was there no fear on Lin Ray's face, there was even a tearful expression on his face. His gaze was as if he was looking at a fool.
The man in black was puzzled by Lin Ray's expression. However, he continued to talk to himself, "If you are going to talk about me, then … I will not tell anyone about this. Perhaps I will even give you a position in the Talisman Sect. What do you think?"
"Clap, clap, clap …"
Suddenly, a round of applause was heard. "You are truly amazing. Giving this Exalted a position in the Talisman Sect? You are truly amazing. However …"
Lin Ray's originally gentle voice was instantly filled with coldness. "However … I am simply not interested in the position that you are talking about. You are unable to give me the position that I like. Tell me … what do you think this time …"
"You … what position do you want?" At this moment, the man in black's heart suddenly trembled. A bad premonition surged into his heart. For some unknown reason, he had a slight guess about the position that Lin Ray wanted.
However, the moment this thought appeared, he immediately killed it in the cradle. That was because that position was not something that anyone could obtain just because they wanted it. Moreover, he subconsciously did not think that the person before him was a match for the Talisman Sect's Sect Master, Xun Feng.
Lin Ray looked at him and the man in black. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and spoke very clearly. "The position that I … want to sit in is your Talisman Sect's Sect Master's position. Although it is not very comfortable to sit there, I have no choice. I … have no choice but to do it. What do you think?"
"You …"
Sure enough, the bad feeling in his heart completely surfaced. The thought that he had already killed was completely exposed at this moment.
The man in black's face was filled with shock and disbelief as he looked at Lin Ray. He really could not understand where the person before him got his confidence from. He actually wanted to sit in that position.
Although he did not believe it, the confident expression on Lin Ray's face caused the man in black to subconsciously begin to believe it. Moreover, this kind of belief was gradually increasing.
"Don't be nervous. I am not a barbaric person. I am a very cultured person. I will not use any other methods other than convincing people with reason."
Lin Ray did not lie to him about this. After all, this was a rule set by the system. He could not use any external force. Moreover, what made Lin Ray even more speechless was that he could not use any force during the entire process. Otherwise, Lin Ray could finish him off with a single spear.
"Ha … haha …"
The man in black laughed. However, his laughter was even uglier than crying at this moment. He really could not understand why the person in front of him was acting like this …
"Laugh all you want! However … you can only laugh here. Moreover, don't even think about bringing this matter out. Moreover, don't even think about challenging my bottom line because … "
"You can't afford it!"
Whoosh …
After saying that, Lin Ray's figure instantly became illusory. In the end, he disappeared. The entire process did not even take a second.
"Hiss …" At this moment, the man in black could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. His eyes widened and his face turned pale. His face was filled with malevolence.
At this moment, sweat flowed freely from his forehead. Droplets of sweat dripped onto the ground. His heart was filled with fear.
At this moment, at the neck of the man in black, there was a long sword with lightning. The sound of the lightning was like … like the sneer of the Grim Reaper.
"Do you remember what I said just now?" A cold voice came from behind him. Hearing this, the man in black did not dare to turn his head. At this moment, his body was so weak that it stiffened on the spot. He could not control himself.
"I … I heard it!"
"Tsk, although I heard your reply, but … I am still a little worried. Tell me, what else can I do?"
Hearing this, the man in black cried, "F * ck, I already promised you. What else do you want? What do you want!"
Of course, he could not say this out loud. He did not want his head to be separated from his body in the next moment.
Silence. At this moment, the man in black could only choose to remain silent. He did not know what to say. In the end, he could only choose to remain silent. After all, silence was golden. Silence represented everything.
"Oh, you still want to play silence with me!" Seeing the man in black's silence, Lin Ray smiled. "Alright, since you are silent, let me handle this."
After saying that, he did not give the man in black any time to think. With a thought, a Soul Controlling Pill appeared in his hand.
Whoosh …
A ray of light appeared in an instant. In the end, it rushed into the man in black's mouth at an extremely fast speed.
"Gulp." Subconsciously, the man in black swallowed the Soul Controlling Pill in his mouth. However … in the next moment, when the man in black came back to his senses, his face was as pale as paper.
After such a long time, how could he not know the meaning of the thing he ate? In the next moment, the man in black wanted to dig his throat and vomit out the thing that went into his mouth. However … Lin Ray's voice sounded in his ears. "Don't waste your effort.
"Don't waste your energy. There's no other way. That thing is an elixir. It melts in the mouth. Moreover … it's hard to find an elixir for this lord. You can't even buy one outside!" This was a joke, but it was also true. After all, it was indeed hard to find an elixir for a saint level elixir.
Perhaps even the Saints of the Holy World would beg Lin Ray to refine pills for them if they knew that Lin Ray was a Saint Grade Alchemist.
"You … what did you feed me?" The man in black roared.
"Soul Controlling Pill. It is a type of pill that can control you. However, don't worry." Knowing the man in black's worries, Lin Ray comforted him. "Don't compare my pill with those fake pills. My pill will only make you respect me. It will not make you speak of our conversation. As for other things, such as controlling your body and consciousness, trust me. It will not happen."
"…" The man in black did not want to believe Lin Ray's words. However, who knew that just as the thought of disbelief appeared, a mysterious energy would instantly kill it. In the end, other than his trust in Lin Ray, there was nothing else.
At this moment, the man in black was extremely shocked. He had never heard of this pill before. However … it was just as he said. If this pill could be mass-produced, then …
"Stop thinking about it!" Just as the man in black thought of this, he heard Lin Ray's warning. He immediately trembled and nodded, not daring to act rashly.
"Ah, the effect is not bad …" Lin Ray was quite satisfied with the man in black's current reaction.
"Tell me. What is your name? Who sent you? What do you want?" After speaking so much nonsense, the main topic had arrived.
"Master, this subordinate is Qiu Yang. I am the leader of the secret guards in the Talisman Sect. Previously, Xunfeng sensed that something was wrong with master and was very afraid of master. Therefore, he sent this subordinate to keep an eye on you and report back after half a day."
"Qiu Yang?" Hearing how obedient Qiu Yang was, Lin Ray smiled. However, after hearing the man's intention, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart and instantly soared.
"Ah, Xunfeng, the sect master of the Talisman Sect. I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to come here before I went to look for you!"
"However … this is also good. It saves me the trouble of looking for you!" As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Yang and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Uh … master, you …"
Although he had eaten the Soul Controlling Pill, he still had his own consciousness. Seeing how affectionate Lin Ray was, Qiu Yang immediately knew that someone was going to be in trouble.
"I have a mission for you."
"Master, please tell me!"
"Since Xunfeng asked you to keep an eye on me, you will continue to keep an eye on me …"
"Plop!" Before Lin Ray could finish his words, Qiu Yang's body trembled and he knelt on the ground. His body was trembling slightly as though he had experienced something terrifying.
"…"
"Get up first and listen to me!" Lin Ray felt a little helpless in the face of Qiu Yang's reaction.
"Oh …" Qiu Yang replied and stood up respectfully. He lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He did not even dare to look at Lin Ray directly.
"Sigh!" Seeing how Qiu Yang was behaving, Lin Ray was too lazy to correct him. "Follow Xunfeng's instructions and report back after half a day. Of course, the most important thing is that you have to reveal my matters to him bit by bit. As for the other matters, you don't have to worry about them first."
"Ah …?" Hearing Lin Ray's instructions, Qiu Yang's eyes were filled with doubt. Although he was filled with doubts, he still … nodded his head.
"Alright, that's good. You may go!" Waving his hand, Ren Baqian asked Qiu Yang to leave.
"Yes, I will take my leave now." Although Qiu Yang was filled with doubts, he still endured it and left.
On the other side …
"Alright, the second round of the competition is about to begin. The gathering of cultivators will begin immediately."
The middle-aged man who had left earlier returned and announced. In an instant, the crowd exploded.
"It's about to begin?" In the distance, when Ren Baqian heard the middle-aged man's words, he smiled and said to himself. Then, he flashed into the crowd.
"The next round will be a duel. It's a last-minute decision. For the sake of the safety of their cultivators, the top ten can enter and be subdued."
"What?" Hearing the middle-aged man's decision, some of the people present were stunned. They did not expect the competition to be decided at the last minute.
However, they had no choice. After all, this was the Talisman Grandmaster and not their home. In the end, they could only accept it.
"Heh, the top ten?" However, Lin Ray, who was in the crowd, had an interesting smile on his face.
To him, no matter how many stages there were, they would be useless. They would not be able to withstand a single blow from him.
"You … you don't have to participate!" The sudden words caused Linley, who had been interested, to be stunned.
"… Who do you think you are?"
At this moment, Lin Ray was extremely depressed. Motherf * cker, why is there no end to this? Previously, there was one, and now there's another.
"Who I am is not important!" At this moment, a man who had appeared behind Lin Ray out of nowhere stared at Lin Ray with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"Heh … Not important?" Without turning around, Ren Baqian continued to look ahead with disdain in his heart. "Indeed, it's not important."
"You …" Even though the old man had said it previously, it had a different meaning when it came from Lin Ray's mouth.
"What about you? Don't play with me. Why don't you let me participate?!"
"… You … I believe that you must have hidden your cultivation. Furthermore, are you sure that your cultivation is suitable for you to participate?"
"But …" Even though the old man was right, this did not mean that he would give up. Turning around, the old man's face appeared in front of Lin Ray. Looking at him, Lin Ray's voice was filled with determination. "Even though it's not suitable, but … I want …!"
As he spoke, he lifted his finger and pointed at the floating Banishing Immortal Brush in the golden light with an excited look on his face.
