Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Astonishing News

"How could this kid’s strength have become so monstrously powerful?"

Xuan Ming couldn’t fathom that the Shi Country boy he originally didn’t take seriously—whom he believed he could mold to his will—had become so strong.

And while Xuan Ming was shocked, Lin Yi had already approached him. His eyes coldly fixed on him, "Tell me, where is Master Wu Liang?"

But Xuan Ming simply sneered, "You don’t really think I would tell you, do you? How naive..."

"Bang!"

Xuan Ming’s words were cut short as Lin Yi kicked him in the face, sending him flying and crashing into two large trees before coming to a stop.

Then, Lin Yi stepped on Xuan Ming, pinning the latter’s head firmly to the ground, rendering him immobile.

"Will you talk?"

Xuan Ming’s features were contorted by the pressure, struggling to breathe, several of his bones broken. Now severely injured, he had finally been intimidated by Lin Yi, "I’ll talk!"

He had no doubt that if he didn’t tell Lin Yi, the kid would likely resort to even more brutal methods.

Only then did Lin Yi lift his foot and release Xuan Ming.

Though full of resentment in his heart, Xuan Ming could only respond obediently, "Wu Liang is imprisoned in the Heavenly Punishment Hall of the Holy Mansion. The verdict on his trial has already been issued!"

"What verdict?" Lin Yi’s expression changed slightly.

"Wu Liang has done heinous acts, violated a fellow sister, and is already guilty of a capital offense of the first degree. After barely escaping with his life, instead of repenting, he ran to Shi Country, surreptitiously opened a Holy Mansion, and tarnished our Holy Mansion’s reputation, incurring an additional degree to his crimes."

A cold smile played on Xuan Ming’s lips, "With both crimes combined, the Heavenly Punishment Hall has decided his execution will be public on a chosen day to serve as a warning to all."

"What did you say?" Lin Yi’s face changed dramatically.

The Heavenly Punishment Hall was going to execute Master Wu Liang?

He had to find a way to stop it!

While Lin Yi was in shock, Xuan Ming escaped his hold and fled Shura Peak at the fastest speed.

Although he had made his escape, his cold laughter still echoed, "Lin Yi, you can’t save Wu Liang. Just wait and collect his corpse!"

However, Lin Yi currently had no concern for Xuan Ming; his mind was urgently considering strategies on how to rescue Master Wu Liang.

Master Wu Liang must have been wrongly accused.

The scandal involving the violation of a fellow sister must be fishy.

But Lin Yi had no evidence, and the Heavenly Punishment Hall wouldn’t take his word for it.

Unless Lin Yi could find evidence, he could not clear Master Wu Liang’s name and restore his innocence.

There was another method, which was to barge into the Heavenly Punishment Hall and forcefully rescue Master Wu Liang.

However, Lin Yi immediately dismissed this idea the next second.

The Heavenly Punishment Hall was an institution of punishment for the Holy Mansion, upholding its justice and authority. It was surely filled with experts; it was not a place he, a mere disciple, could barge into.

He was afraid that instead of rescuing Master Wu Liang, he might get himself killed as well.

Just as Lin Yi’s thoughts were surging.

A female figure wearing an Asura Mask appeared before him.

It was Lou Tingyu, the Peak Master of Shura Peak.

"Lin Yi."

Lin Yi then looked up and gave a respectful bow, "Peak Master."

"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?" Lou Tingyu casually asked.

Lin Yi didn’t hesitate and said, "I was thinking, with my strength, whether there is any possibility of breaking into the Heavenly Punishment Hall and coming out alive."

Hearing these words, Lou Tingyu walked directly in front of Lin Yi and stretched out her fair Jade Hand to touch his forehead.

"Peak Master, what are you doing?"

Lin Yi was taken aback.

"I’m checking if you’re insane."

Lou Tingyu glanced at Lin Yi disdainfully, "Talking nonsense in broad daylight."

"The Heavenly Punishment Hall is swarming with experts. Just the elders who have reached the Sealed Marquis Realm number at least a dozen. Not to mention you, even if it were me, forcibly breaking into the Heavenly Punishment Hall would be a certain death with no chance of survival."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately gave up the idea of storming the Heavenly Punishment Hall. It seemed that trying to force his way in the Holy Mansion was an overthought.

"You lad, you should think about more reliable things, like accompanying me to the Earth Spirit Secret Realm this time. You could challenge yourself there and enhance your strength," said Lou Tingyu.

"Earth Spirit Secret Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi’s eyes also lit up with interest.

In the Green Ruins Realm, there existed many Secret Realms left over from the ancient and primeval eras. Some of these Secret Realms were still unnamed, such as the Ancient Secret Realm where the Five Great Forces hosted the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries; but there were also many that had been explored and claimed by the great forces, like the Earth Spirit Secret Realm that Lou Tingyu just mentioned—

—it was one of the Ancient Secret Realms under the jurisdiction of the Five Great Forces.

Entering these Secret Realms undoubtedly required a certain strength, but in Lou Tingyu’s eyes, Lin Yi, though a newcomer, already qualified to venture into Secret Realms and carry out missions.

However, Lin Yi didn’t even consider it and shook his head immediately, saying, "I should not refuse the invitation of the Peak Master, but I have more urgent personal matters to attend to, so I must apologize."

"Are the more urgent matters you mentioned trying to break into the Heavenly Punishment Hall?" Lou Tingyu asked seriously, looking at Lin Yi.

"Rest assured, Peak Master, I’m not that foolish."

Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand, "It’s something else, related to a person of great importance to me, and it’s very urgent."

"Well then."

With the conversation reaching this point, Lou Tingyu didn’t press further, "As long as you don’t attempt to storm the Heavenly Punishment Hall, everything else is negotiable."

"Since you have your own matters, let’s plan to meet another time."

After saying this, Lou Tingyu turned and left.

Watching Lou Tingyu’s retreating figure, Lin Yi’s gaze flickered, "First, I’ll try my luck at the Holy Mansion’s Book Collection Pavilion, to see if I can find anything."

The affair involving Master Wu Liang had caused quite a stir in the Holy Mansion originally; there should be some records of it.

For the following several days, Lin Yi was immersed in the Holy Mansion’s Book Collection Pavilion.

He perused a large number of the Holy Mansion’s books.

However, he read quite a bit without finding the information he wanted.

The name Master Wu Liang seemed as if it had never appeared in the records of the Holy Mansion.

This puzzled Lin Yi deeply.

Was it that Master Wu Liang, who had also been a brilliant young talent of the Holy Mansion, had made a mistake so severe that even his name was erased?

Was it because this was a blemish on the Holy Mansion and so was deliberately hidden and not mentioned?

Or was it that someone intentionally did this, erasing all records related to Master Wu Liang?

As Lin Yi frowned in thought, he suddenly received a message.

"Hmm? Is this from Bai Yifan?"

Lin Yi’s eyebrows raised slightly, "Could it be that the matter she was asked to look into has found some leads?"

With this in mind, Lin Yi didn’t linger for a moment longer and promptly walked out of the Book Collection Pavilion.
