Chapter 278: The Method to Exploit the Bug in the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm

After leaving behind evidence that Xie Zhanxin had killed the members of the Supreme Academy, Ye Lin retrieved his Phantom Face and Voice-Changing Cicada, then casually killed his clone to destroy the evidence.

Once the clone died, the dazzling red beam on its body vanished, and no new red beam appeared on Ye Lin; at the same time, a Mountain-Sea Secret Seal flew straight toward Ye Lin from out of nowhere!

"Huh?" Ye Lin couldn't help but be stunned. "Could it be that killing someone with a red light on them yields a reward?"

Ye Lin became instantly excited; it seemed there was a bug in the punishment mechanism of this Mountain-Sea Secret Realm!

However, it was only a bug for him; after all, every time One Qi Transforms into Three Purities was released, it cost half of his remaining lifespan, and normal people could never use clones to farm it like he did.

Ye Lin couldn't wait to verify if it was true, so he first used Endless Devour to dispose of the corpses of Feng Tianyu and the others, then hoisted the unconscious Duan Ling and turned to leave, as if he had made a certain resolution.

No sooner had Ye Lin left than the people from the Xie family arrived at the scene.

Xie Zhanxin looked at the scorched earth before him, his brows deeply furrowed.

"The red beam that just appeared was also in this direction. It seems the person skilled in lightning techniques killed someone?"

Just as Xie Zhanxin was puzzled, Ji Tianxuan also arrived.

Ji Tianxuan widened his eyes, looked at the scorched ground, then at Xie Zhanxin, his pupils shrinking violently as he pointed at Xie Zhanxin and said with a trembling voice.

"You killed someone?"

"I did not!" Xie Zhanxin hurriedly denied it.

"You still dare to quibble? The aura here is so violent; it is clearly someone who released a powerful lightning skill. Besides you, who else can cast a lightning skill of this level? Did you kill that Ye Lin?" Ji Tianxuan did not believe him at all.

"I said it wasn't me!" Xie Zhanxin had black lines on his forehead.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're done for! Although the Human Emperor allowed us aristocratic families to enter the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm, he strictly forbade people from the families to kill. You actually dared to kill; Xie Zhanxin, your Xie family really has guts!"

Ji Tianxuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Xie Zhanxin felt his vision go dark: "Ji Tianxuan, I'll say it again, someone else who is very skilled in lightning techniques has entered the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm. This matter here was not my doing!"

"Do you think I believe you?" Ji Tianxuan curled his lips.

"Do you see any red light on me?" Xie Zhanxin retorted.

"The red beam was just here, but it suddenly disappeared. I have reason to suspect you forced someone else to kill, then killed the killer," Ji stated his deduction.

Xie Zhanxin was standing right there, facing the land and scorched trees that had been blasted by lightning; if he said it wasn't him, who would believe it?

This is like coming home, pushing the door open, and finding a man hiding under the bed besides your wife. If this man tells you he came to help you look at your home's feng shui and only hid under the bed because he was nervous, would you believe him?

"I am going to spread the word about what happened here right now. Just wait to die!"

Ji Tianxuan turned to leave, and Xie Zhanxin hurriedly blocked him. If Ji Tianxuan ran out and spread the word, he would truly be like mud falling into his pants—if it's not shit, it's still shit.

"Oh! You want to kill me to silence me?" Ji Tianxuan looked terrified.

"No! I just won't let you talk nonsense! This matter really wasn't my doing!" Xie Zhanxin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"I believe you, ghost! You Xie family people are very wicked!"

Ji Tianxuan flashed, disappearing from the spot like a ghost, directly avoiding the encirclement of the Xie family members, and then quickly vanished into the distance.

Other members of the Xie family wanted to pursue, but were stopped by Xie Zhanxin.

"No need to chase. If Ji Tianxuan wants to leave, you lot cannot stop him."

Xie Zhanxin shook his head, his expression extremely ugly. What he should be considering now is how to clarify things after Xie Zhanxin spreads the news!

The only way at present is to catch that guy who is as skilled in lightning techniques as he is to restore his innocence.

"Put the matter of finding Ye Lin aside for now; find that guy skilled in lightning techniques first! He can't run far!"

Ten years to sharpen a sword, five years to sharpen one side.

After settling the unconscious Duan Ling and leaving behind a disguised clone to protect her in secret, Ye Lin left alone.

From this moment on, his journey in the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm truly began.

At this moment, he already had 17 Mountain-Sea Secret Seals in his hands, but that world still could not support Ye Lin in gathering elements.

Therefore, his top priority remained finding Mountain-Sea Secret Seals.

However, having learned of the bug just now, Ye Lin was clearly confident about finding the Mountain-Sea Secret Seals.

Ye Lin found a secluded, uninhabited cave, and then once again performed One Qi Transforms into Three Purities; a clone appeared by his side.

Ye Lin handed a knife to the clone, and after the clone took it, it stabbed Ye Lin in the chest with one strike.

Immediately after, the clone struck several more times, each blow fatal, directly stabbing Ye Lin to death.

In an instant, a dazzling red beam appeared on the clone's body again.

"Holy crap! How is someone killing again? Are they crazy? Someone who killed was just killed, and now someone dares to kill again?"

"Absurd! Why is this year's Mountain-Sea Secret Realm so dangerous! People are losing their lives at every turn!"

"Let's be careful; that red light is very close to us!"

The people in the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm were startled by this suddenly appearing red beam.

And inside the cave, the resurrected Ye Lin killed the clone with one punch; sure enough, another Mountain-Sea Secret Seal flew toward him.

"Wonderful!"

Realizing it was feasible, Ye Lin followed the same pattern, using his immortal body and the existence of his clones to continuously exploit the bug and farm Mountain-Sea Secret Seals.

To be cautious, every time Ye Lin performed the operation, he would immediately activate Space Jump and Instant Dance to run to other desolate corners of the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm.

Fire a shot and change locations.

Excellent snipers and excellent scumbags must follow this principle to better protect themselves.

"Holy crap! Someone is killing again?"

"Ah? Why is someone still killing?"

"Oh, someone is just killing."

"Someone killed, hey."

As for the people in the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm, watching the red beams that would suddenly appear from various places and disappear just as quickly, they had gone from shock to complete numbness.

Later on, even if more red light appeared, no one would look up to see it again; everyone had become completely accustomed to coexisting with the red light, as it would disappear after flashing once anyway.

This sudden, eerie red beam in the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm flickered for three days and three nights before finally appearing no more.

And at this moment, in a secluded cave, Ye Lin looked at the hundreds of Mountain-Sea Secret Seals before him, the smile on his face becoming increasingly manic.

"I, your Daoist master, have succeeded!"
