Xi Yunyi agreed to Lin Qianxuan’s suggestion, and the two quietly lurked nearby, following the carriage.

The carriage was surrounded by Martial Artists at the Postnatal Realm. They hadn’t connected the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, merging their small universe with the outer world, making their perception much weaker, so naturally, they couldn’t detect Lin Qianxuan and Xi Yunyi.

Thus, the two followed all the way until dawn, arriving at an estate in the outskirts.

This fit Lin Qianxuan’s expectations.

This kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, couldn’t be done in the city.

Lin Qianxuan held You Xi in his hand, saying, “Help me take a look!”

Then he tossed You Xi out.

You Xi flapped her wings and gradually flew away.

Xi Yunyi exclaimed, “Tan brother, is your bird so clever? Right, your brother also seems to have a Simurgh he can ride. Does your Lanxi Sect have a special Bird Taming Secret Technique?”

“It’s not a bird taming technique, just simply a good relationship with her,” Lin Qianxuan casually explained.

You Xi was very fast and soon returned.

The chirping sounds transmitted to Lin Qianxuan’s ears.

The varying lengths of calls conveyed information.

Xi Yunyi couldn’t understand and looked at Lin Qianxuan’s thoughtful expression somewhat dumbfounded.

Lin Qianxuan gestured to Xi Yunyi, saying, “Xi’Er has figured out the situation inside, follow me.”

After speaking, Lin Qianxuan lowered his steps and quietly approached the estate.

“Tan brother, you can understand bird talk?” Xi Yunyi asked, suppressing his voice while following.

“It’s not bird talk, it’s a coded language. Xi’Er is no ordinary bird, very smart,” Lin Qianxuan replied.

Xi Yunyi suddenly understood.

The two quickly approached the estate, then lightly vaulted onto the eight-foot-high estate wall, heading to where the carriage was going.

The carriage was parked in a remote courtyard, and the carriage was already empty, with no one in it.

Lin Qianxuan didn’t glance at the carriage but stepped towards the adjacent wing room.

There was a lock on the door, but to Lin Qianxuan, it seemed nonexistent.

Inner Qi filled the lock hole, and with a gentle push, it opened.

Pushing the door open, inside was a spacious study.

Reaching a wall, Lin Qianxuan lightly pushed the bookshelf aside, revealing a secret passage.

“A hidden passage?”

Xi Yunyi’s expression became even more serious.

Prepared so meticulously, he felt they must have killed many people.

The secret passage was somewhat long. Lin Qianxuan and Xi Yunyi walked for nearly a quarter of an hour without reaching the end, and couldn’t help but quietly converse.

“Must martial arts deduction all rely on the human body?” Xi Yunyi asked.

“The technique to simulate meridians isn’t mature. For now, we can only rely on human testing,” Lin Qianxuan replied.

“Why use children for testing? Aren’t adult meridians more resilient?”

“As you said, adult meridians are fixed, less moldable, and adults aren’t as easily fooled as children.”

“Such beasts!”

“Scolding them is useless, far better to kill them!”

Conversing as they walked a distance further, suddenly they stopped in their tracks, hearing the sound of children crying.

Lin Qianxuan and Xi Yunyi slowed their steps, quietly advancing.

Light gradually appeared, and a spacious hall emerged before them.

In the hall was a large bed.

Around the bed were various strange tools, and in the hall, there were iron cages one after another.

The cages held some children.

Some were naked, their bodies full of scars, some had broken limbs, there were boys dressed in girls’ clothes and girls in boys’ clothes. From the bowls in front of them, it could be seen that their diets weren’t the same.

Some who looked cuter, dressed better, ate better.

While some bore injuries, almost bare, ate worse.

A strange stench also spread here.

Not the material of five grains, but more like…..

Lin Qianxuan already had some guesses.

Where is this a place to test martial arts on children, this is probably another kind of disgusting perverted situation.

As he was thinking, suddenly there was some movement, Lin Qianxuan and Xi Yunyi quickly held their breath.

Two figures emerged from the stone door on the other side of the hall.

It was a man and a woman, finely dressed, looking quite decent, both equipped with swords.

Lin Qianxuan judged from their breathing that they were also at Innate Cultivation.

“Another batch of new goods sent here? They’re pretty efficient! This season’s antidote can be given to them early!” the man said.

“So cute, husband, this time I want to play first! If it were handed over to you, they’d be ruined!” the woman said.

“How good are you anyway? Several of the dogs I’ve trained were broken necks because you didn’t control them, it took me much time to train another batch…” the man said.

“Anyway, there are plenty of these little things…..” the woman laughed.

….

Listening to the two’s unrestrained conversation, Xi Yunyi’s body began to tremble.

Anger had already surged to the extreme, and at this moment, he was evidently unable to endure any longer.

Lin Qianxuan thought for a moment, and it was no longer necessary to continue eavesdropping, directly taking them down for questioning would be the same. So he released the grip holding Xi Yunyi.

“You utterly inhumane beasts, meet your demise!”

Xi Yunyi shouted loudly, raising his palm to strike.

However, the sound had already alerted the two people. The man turned and countered Xi Yunyi’s attack with his palm.

“Bang~!”

Xi Yunyi retreated with the force, and the man also stumbled back several steps.

“Brother Xi, you don’t need to shout the name of your move when ambushing!” Lin Qianxuan said slowly as he walked out.

“Sorry, I couldn’t hold it in.” Xi Yunyi retreated to Lin Qianxuan’s side, cautiously facing off with the two people opposite.

“Who are you?” the man asked Lin Qianxuan and Xi Yunyi.

“People walking the path of heaven,” Xi Yunyi replied.

“Passersby with a sense of justice!” Lin Qianxuan added.

“Hmph, two little boys still wet behind the ears, haven’t tasted such flavor yet. You two look quite nice; don’t worry, big sister will take good care of you,” the woman said, unsheathing her sword with a cold sneer as she looked at them.

“She’s such a freak!” Lin Qianxuan said, looking sickened.

“Indeed!” Xi Yunyi agreed.

“So she’s yours to deal with, I’ll handle the other one,” Lin Qianxuan said.

“Huh?”

Xi Yunyi raised an eyebrow, and before he could refuse, Lin Qianxuan had already lunged at the man.

The man also unsheathed his sword, looked at Lin Qianxuan with interest, and even licked his lips.

“You’re even more of a freak!” Lin Qianxuan shouted angrily.

“Clang~!”

Lin Qianxuan triggered the gunstock mechanism, and a long spear shot out from the gunstock, which he caught and then attacked the man in front of him directly.

“Clang, clang, clang~!”

The spear’s momentum was swift, pressing the man to retreat repeatedly.

Yet Lin Qianxuan still wasn’t using his full strength, he was even suppressing his cultivation.

Lin Qianxuan wanted to see if killing an opponent at the Postnatal Realm level while suppressing his cultivation could be considered a cross-realm kill and trigger a milestone effect.

On the other side, Xi Yunyi’s palm was wrapped with true qi, and he struck out with palm after palm, showing no intention of directly confronting the woman’s weapons.

His weapon was special, he couldn’t reveal it lightly.

If revealed, it absolutely had to hit its target.

After exchanging dozens of moves, Lin Qianxuan’s spear was covered in white jade-like inner qi, and he thrust it out suddenly.

“Crack~! Clang~!”

The sword blade blocked, instantly breaking, and the true qi attached to it was also shattered.

“Pfft~!”

With a single spear thrust, he directly hit the opponent’s chest, piercing through.

“Husband~!”

The woman cried out miserably, her sword attacks becoming fiercer, almost attacking recklessly, aiming to trade injuries with Xi Yunyi.

Xi Yunyi retreated continuously, finding a flaw during the woman’s wide open and close moves, then revealed his blade.

“Swish~!”

A flying knife flew out in an instant, grazing the woman’s neck, severing her carotid artery.

Blood spurted slightly, and the woman hurriedly held her neck, using true qi to block the wound.

For an Innate Master, this wasn’t even a fatal injury, but both were rendered powerless in battle.

Lin Qianxuan stepped on the man and asked, “Since when did you start doing this? How many helpers do you have? Who are they? Are there any other dens?”

“Heh… you want to know?” the man said, “Dream on!”

After he spoke, he used true qi to shatter his own heart meridian, committing suicide on the spot.

His head tilted and he died.

On the other side, sadness appeared in the woman’s eyes, and she was about to follow.

Lin Qianxuan, with quick eyes and swift hands, pierced her heart with a spear, denying her the chance to commit suicide in advance.

Vaguely, Lin Qianxuan felt that he had already obtained two milestone blessings.

It proved that suppressing cultivation for a cross-level challenge also counts as cross-level.

“Brother Tan, she was already close to death, why did you make that spear?” Xi Yunyi asked, puzzled.

“To vent my anger with another spear!” Lin Qianxuan casually replied.

“Makes sense, I’ll add a palm too.”

Xi Yunyi realized, then struck a palm from distance at the man’s lower body.

“Pfft~!”

Lin Qianxuan didn’t look, but just from the sound he could tell that the palm was particularly ruthless.

“Alas, it’s a pity we couldn’t find out their background,” Xi Yunyi sighed.

“Actually, I know a little,” Lin Qianxuan examined their swords as he spoke.

“Brother Tan is indeed a high disciple of a well-known sect, please tell us, who exactly are these people?” Xi Yunyi praised Lin Qianxuan, then said.

“These two swords are treasure swords from the Weapon Casting Alliance. The weapons from the Weapon Casting Alliance have serial numbers, and some have special insignias to signify status,” Lin Qianxuan explained, drawing the man’s sword from its sheath to look at it, saying, “If I’m not mistaken, this sword should be the Divine Heart Sword, and this man is Liu Zhigao, as for the woman…”

Before Lin Qianxuan could finish revealing their identities, Xi Yunyi had already drawn his sword and taken a look, indeed seeing a familiar mark on the blade.

“Red Cloud Sword, Meng Fangfang?” Xi Yunyi’s expression turned sour, saying, “The two heroes of Wang Mountain secretly turn out to be such scum?”

That’s right, these two were the well-known heroes of Wang Mountain.

However, nobody knew that these great heroes were secretly these kinds of characters.

“To know a person is to know their face but not their heart. As Innate Masters, their powerful abilities are unchecked; after indulging their desires, it’s normal to be consumed by those desires. Human nature is like this, so martial artists should cultivate virtue first. Without virtue, how can one control one’s martial power? Even with great strength, they are nothing more than beasts,” Lin Qianxuan sighed.

Xi Yunyi deeply agreed, nodding continuously.

“Brother Tan, what should we do about these children? And those accomplices!” Xi Yunyi asked.

“This is the territory of the Sanyuan Gate. Just inform the Sanyuan Gate. They’ll definitely conduct a thorough investigation once they know their foundation has been shaken,” Lin Qianxuan said.
