Chapter 474 Essence Qi Seal

Chapter 474: Chapter 474 Essence Qi Seal

"The rumors are not entirely without foundation," Kong Yuan shook his head and said, "I did indeed kill a fellow disciple, but the one I killed was not from the Human Clan but from the Pi Jue Corpse Clan, a spy planted by my Master, the Blood Prison Sword Saint."

"I was simply tracking the spy’s identity, which led me to encounter the Shimo Saint."

"So that’s how it is."

Only then did Lin Yi’s face show a dawning understanding.

He had also found it very strange that a "Righteous Hero" who could fight to the death against the Outer Realm Evil Clan could possibly be a traitor who murdered his fellow disciples.

There was indeed more to the story.

Considering Kong Yuan’s grievances, Lin Yi’s expression grew grave, "Senior Kong Yuan, you sacrificed yourself in a great battle against the Corpse Clan, not as a disloyal and treacherous deserter of your sect. I must vindicate you and let the world know the truth."

Unexpectedly, Kong Yuan shook his head and said, "I actually don’t care how outsiders view me."

"But Master, he has always been very good to me. He must be heartbroken to think that the disciple he prized the most betrayed him."

Kong Yuan let out a heavy sigh.

"I’ll take care of this."

Lin Yi volunteered to take on the responsibility, "I will find the Blood Prison Sword Saint and tell him the truth."

"You have my gratitude for your willingness to help," Kong Yuan said. "But as this involves the Pi Jue Corpse Clan, the waters run deep, and I would prefer you not get entangled if possible."

In his view, Lin Yi’s power was still too weak; with cultivation at Sealing King Realm First Level, he would seem insignificant in front of the Outer Realm Evil Clan.

Too easily, he could be silently eliminated.

However, Lin Yi smiled and shook his head, "I have already faced the Outer Realm Evil Clan; what is there to fear?"

In the Eastern Domain, Lin Yi had already experienced several bloody battles with the Undying Blood Clan, accumulating a wealth of combat experience. The Outer Realm Evil Clan was indeed stronger than the native beings of the Green Ruins Realm, but they were not utterly invincible.

Kong Yuan’s tone remained serious, however, "In struggling against the Outer Realm Evil Clan, do not act rashly out of pride; always employ strategy."

He himself was a gruesome lesson; he had been too impetuous, choosing to fight to the death against the Shimo Saint. Not only did he fail to slay the Shimo Saint, but in doing so, he had lost his own life.

Then, he handed over the Holy Sword in his possession to Lin Yi, "I hope you can take this Holy Sword back to Blood Prison Mountain and return it to my Master."

Although he felt some regret, Lin Yi nodded, "I will ensure the sword is delivered."

After all, a Holy Sword, whether used as a weapon or absorbed by his Chaos Sword Body, would be like adding wings to a tiger for him.

Clearly inscribed on the body of the Holy Sword were the words "Blood Scale."

The Blood Scale Holy Sword.

"To escort the Holy Sword is a kindness I cannot repay."

Kong Yuan gazed at Lin Yi and murmured, "I will give you the remainder of my Life Essence, hoping it might be of some assistance to you..."

As he finished speaking, Kong Yuan suddenly reached out his palm, and the rich Life Essence condensed before him, eventually forming an Essence Qi Seal the size of a longan.

Without any hesitation, Kong Yuan drove the Essence Qi Seal into Lin Yi’s forehead.

And as he completed this act, the fluctuations from Kong Yuan’s body were like the flickering of a candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.

"Senior Kong Yuan, is there no way to save you?"

Feeling the Life Essence in Kong Yuan’s body might burn out at any moment, Lin Yi quickly asked.

Kong Yuan shook his head, "I have already fallen, and even a Saint would not be able to save me."

"My only hope is that one day, the Green Ruins Realm will be free from the scourge of the Outer Realm Evil Clan, that they no longer torment living beings or harm the world..."

With those final words, the last bit of life force left Kong Yuan’s body, and he became like a statue, sitting quietly before Lin Yi, motionless.

"Senior, your wish will one day be fulfilled."

Lin Yi stood tall and bowed deeply to Kong Yuan, his eyes reflecting a hint of admiration.

It was because of people like Kong Yuan, who were willing to fight to the death against the Outer Realm Evil Clan at the cost of their own lives, that the Green Ruins Realm had its current situation.

What impressed Lin Yi even more was that Kong Yuan, being a half-human half-demon, neither valued by the Demon Clan nor warmly regarded by the Human Clan, still retained a heart of justice, which was undoubtedly rare.

Calming the waves in his heart, Lin Yi began to circulate his True Yuan, feeling the mighty Essence Qi Seal within him, "I’ll refine this Essence Qi Seal right here."

The Essence Qi Seal was the remaining Life Essence from Semi-Saint Kong Yuan; although he had fallen long ago and little life force remained, for Lin Yi at his current state, even a trace from a Semi-Saint’s cultivation was like a vast ocean.

It would not be easy to refine!

However, Kong Yuan had condensed all his Life Essence into this seal, which made it extremely gentle and offered no resistance to Lin Yi. With only a bit of refining, it surged into Lin Yi’s body like a fountain!

And in this rapid refinement, Lin Yi could clearly feel his strength climbing at an astonishing rate!
