CFRSIO Chapter 52

Siam naturally recognized his contractor and recalled everything.

This small world wasn’t like this originally. Tens of thousands of years ago, it was a prosperous and rich land, with many flying cultivators. Until a disaster involving all races, many races perished.

Afterward, the ascension passage gradually began to shrink. The last ascender left them a method to break the predicament. Interestingly, the one to break the predicament was Lin Yunliang, and this Lin Yunliang was an outsider.

Yes, this person was not the Lin Yunliang of this small world. The Lin Yunliang of this small world had an accident shortly after birth, and his body was later replaced by an outsider’s soul.

After joining a sect due to his talent, he was unexpectedly discovered to be able to activate the divine book, thus becoming a disciple of Wushu Mountain. He became fellow disciples with Ning Shijiang.

Both of them liked Guang Baiqiao, but Guang Baiqiao liked Ning Shijiang. The three of them often went out for experience and to carry out missions. Yet, only Guang Baiqiao and Ning Shijiang, the two single-root cultivators, became famous throughout the world.

It was clearly a three-person movie, but Lin Yunliang had no name.

During an accident, Ning Shijiang was seriously injured while saving someone. Guang Baiqiao was crying profusely by his side. Therefore, Lin Yunliang, unable to ignore it, had to step in to save him, which led to a turning point in his fate.

Originally, Lin Yunliang wouldn’t have ended up in such a state, but he didn’t expect such an accident to happen.

After Ning Shijiang was healed by Lin Yunliang, he found his condition significantly improved. Without any precautions, he told Ning Xiyu everything.

Ning Xiyu was a shrewd person. After learning about the situation, she deliberately tested him, and it turned out to be surprisingly true. Thus, she unscrupulously plotted against Lin Yunliang.

She even captured him, continuously extracting his blood, and then using his blood to nourish the divine book, allowing the divine book to gradually reveal its abilities.

This also made Ning Shijiang as if he had opened up all his meridians, even instantly forming a Nascent Soul, becoming the youngest and most powerful Nascent Soul cultivator in Qingyun Sect.

His relationship with Guang Baiqiao also became more natural.

As for Lin Yunliang, after continuous blood extraction, he couldn’t hold on for long. A year later, he died after Ning Xiyu drained all his blood. Afterward, the name Lin Yunliang no longer existed in Qingyun Sect; everyone only remembered these two.

These two saved the Chengyuan Continent.

Lin Yunliang’s early death had already caused him some resentment. Later, a new soul appeared and merged, thinking he could show off his skills. This new soul seemed to come from a peaceful and stable world, thus nurturing the person into an enthusiastic and innocent disposition.

He never plotted against anyone, yet in the end, he was schemed against like this. Dying so miserably, there must have been considerable resentment. Afterward, Lin Yunliang intervened.

However, because this body had already gone through three souls, coupled with Lin Yunliang’s extremely strong mental power, the body could not withstand it, thus leading to these subsequent events.

Siam wouldn’t have remembered those things, and Lin Yunliang’s separation from them was due to this reason. Fortunately, Siam had now found him and rushed over.

Siam was still thinking about how to save him when he saw an unexpected event occur.

The research maniac approached Lin Yunliang with curiosity. With a flip of his hand, a dagger appeared in his palm, and he lightly cut Lin Yunliang’s exposed skin.

His movements were gentle, and the wound was shallow and small, but it was enough for people to observe with great interest.

Lin Yunliang seemed to move.

The research maniac showed a look of surprise, then moved closer, “Awake? You’re really special.”

In the next second, he saw Lin Yunliang directly smash his head towards the research maniac, then he got up, and abruptly kicked the research maniac in the stomach, making the already dizzy person even more so.

Lin Yunliang’s eyes were terrifyingly cold. He calmly glanced at the wounds on his body. Then, he delivered another elbow strike to the person’s back, rendering them even more unable to resist. He then stepped on the person, pushing their hateful face into the blood pool.

A scorching sensation instantly engulfed his entire body, causing him to scream in agony.

Fortunately, this was Ning Xiyu’s secret chamber, and the soundproofing was naturally very good. No sound could escape, and no one would discover anything.

“Get out.” Lin Yunliang hadn’t spoken for a long time. His voice was hoarse and stiff, but one could still tell what he was saying.

“You…” The research maniac wanted to speak but failed. Even because blood entered his mouth and burned his throat, his voice became stiff and unpleasant.

Lin Yunliang had no patience to listen to him. He directly broke the person’s other leg with another kick.

“Get out, don’t make me say it a third time.”

Siam knew he was being spoken to. In fact, the moment the person spoke the first sentence, Siam had already fallen from where he was standing. It was very embarrassing, but fortunately, no one could see.

Siam no longer hid. It wasn’t appropriate now. Moreover, seeing the person’s emotions like this, it was hard to say what more serious situation might occur later.

He immediately emerged.

Lin Yunliang looked at the cat in front of him, a strange thought flashing through his mind. Back at the Zhang family, he had felt that he would meet someone with a cat there. Now he saw the cat here, it seemed his intuition was correct.

It was just that the timing, or something else, was wrong. This was why he hadn’t seen the cat at the Zhang family back then.

“Cat?” Lin Yunliang tilted his head, his eyes filled with distrust.

Siam wasn’t exactly a pure cat, was he?

Siam looked at the person in front of him innocently. After thinking, he decided not to use mental exercises, lest he further stimulate the person.

“You don’t remember me?”

“Should I remember you?” Lin Yunliang left righteously.

This left Siam speechless. This person still loved toChoking as always! Should! Should indeed!! You are my contractor!

The research maniac, who had been ignored by them, had something to say. He only found it strange and absurd why this cat demon would break in. He wasn’t foolish either; he wouldn’t really take this cat as an ordinary kitten.

Moreover, this was Ning Xiyu’s own secret chamber. How could it be so easy to break into!

What was the origin of this cat demon?

“Why…” The person under his feet was still annoying. Lin Yunliang had no good temper, let alone that this person had just tormented him. He found him extremely annoying.

“Shut up.” Lin Yunliang then broke the person’s other leg. “You are not qualified to speak.”

The wounds on Lin Yunliang’s body were all inflicted by the research maniac. He had specifically restrained Lin Yunliang’s spiritual power before attacking, causing the wounds on his body to continuously bleed and heal for a long time. Lin Yunliang had been unhappy for a long time. If it weren’t for some plans, he wouldn’t have come forward now.

It was because of this cat’s intrusion that Lin Yunliang took these actions.

“Who are you? Why did you break in?”

“My name is Siam,” Siam said, looking at the person in front of him with longing. He hoped this already annoying guy wouldn’t become even more annoying. “You…”

Seeing the person looking confused, Siam immediately knew what was going on. Lin Yunliang, like him, probably couldn’t remember those things. And because Siam had been with Zhang Qing’an, he hadn’t been targeted, so he was able to regain his senses.

However, because Lin Yunliang hadn’t been with Siam, Siam couldn’t intervene in time. Moreover, with the person covered in wounds, it led to him not recovering for a long time.

“You don’t remember me,” Siam’s eyes rolled, clearly thinking of something, and continued, “Then you should remember Zhang Qing’an!”

“Zhang Qing’an?” Lin Yunliang repeated the name several times.

—

Zhang Qing’an found someone in the sect who dealt in information sales, hoping to buy what he wanted from him. Soon, he met that sect disciple.

“You are Senior Brother Zhang Qing’an, right?” The person selling information was also a disciple of the sect.

However, this person had no talent. Initially, his displayed strength was good, until later, he was increasingly unable to improve his strength but was reluctant to leave, so he started doing other businesses.

Unexpectedly, he discovered he had considerable talent in this line of work and earned quite a bit. Afterward, he gradually lost interest in cultivation and specialized in this business.

Zhang Qing’an nodded. “I am.”

“Where is what I want?” Zhang Qing’an asked.

“Here, please follow me.” The sect disciple said, leading him away from there.

He was also going to take Zhang Qing’an to see the things he needed.

The person led Zhang Qing’an to a secluded house.

Zhang Qing’an’s heart skipped a beat, and he inexplicably felt something was wrong, but he didn’t say anything and subtly clenched his fist.

“This is it, Senior Brother.”

“This place is too secluded,” Zhang Qing’an said.

The person in front of him remained unperturbed, “Senior Brother, you don’t know, what you need is not simple.”

“You want the list of sect disciples. How can we disciples get this easily?” The disciple continued, “This is something I worked very hard to get for you.”

“This way, please.”

The sect disciple stood to the side, making a gesture to invite him. Zhang Qing’an walked in. The sect disciple followed behind. However, after only a few steps, he clearly noticed something was wrong.

“Senior Brother, did you take the wrong path?”

“They didn’t take the wrong path.”

The reply came from another voice. Zhang Qing’an recognized whose voice it was. Now he knew why. He had felt something was wrong as soon as he got closer. It was truly laughable.

He had hidden so well, yet these people still wanted to find trouble with him.

Turning around, he saw that the one who had arrived was Guang Baiqiao, whom everyone thought was gentle and cute, along with several senior brothers from the sect. They were all familiar faces.

“Senior Brother,” Guang Baiqiao still had a radiant smile, “Long time no see. It’s really difficult to have a good chat with you.”

“That’s why I found Senior Brother Wang.”

Guang Baiqiao glanced back at the person behind Zhang Qing’an. That Senior Brother Wang was looking at Guang Baiqiao with a brilliant, flattering smile. At this point, there was nothing he didn’t understand.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Wang.”

“Little Junior Brother, you’re welcome. I’m very happy to be of help!” Senior Brother Wang said. If Lin Yunliang were here, he would use a word to describe this person.

That word was: sycophant.

Guang Baiqiao smiled. Even a simple smile like that made Senior Brother Wang look pleased and satisfied, as if he had done something extraordinary.

Zhang Qing’an had a severe headache. These people were really… He had clearly avoided them so well.

“Junior Brother Guang, what do you want to tell me?”

“You all can go out first,” Guang Baiqiao said, looking at the people around him.

The people around him, upon hearing this, looked worried.

“Junior Brother, can you handle it alone?” One of them said, then looked vigilantly at Zhang Qing’an, as if Zhang Qing’an were some unforgivable villain.

“That’s right, what if Zhang Qing’an hurts you?” another senior brother chimed in.

These people looked genuinely protective of Guang Baiqiao.

And in this situation, it didn’t look like Zhang Qing’an was going to bully anyone, did it? They clearly had more people on their side, while Zhang Qing’an was alone. How could this be Zhang Qing’an bullying anyone? It was clearly Guang Baiqiao and the others bullying Zhang Qing’an.

“It’s okay, Senior Brothers,” Guang Baiqiao smiled, as if he didn’t see the worry in their eyes, and confidently vouched for him, “How could Senior Brother Qing’an bully me?”

“Senior Brother Qing’an is a good person,” Guang Baiqiao said, looking like a good person.

Zhang Qing’an knew this person was trying to disgust him. He really knew how to talk. He lowered his eyes and grumbled inwardly.

The few people, after carefully observing, didn’t say anything further but still looked at him with worry before turning to leave.

“Senior Brother, do you know why I came to find you?” Guang Baiqiao asked curiously.

“I don’t want to know,” Zhang Qing’an replied calmly.

Fortunately, Siam wasn’t here, or he would have been speechless at Zhang Qing’an’s words. Zhang Qing’an was clearly well-behaved, but who knew he had also been taught bad habits by Lin Yunliang? His mouth was now even sharper than before.

Zhang Qing’an’s words also left Guang Baiqiao speechless, who was also rendered speechless by the response.

Then he smiled again and continued, “Senior Brother, your mouth is really sharp.”

“But I wonder if Senior Brother’s mouth will remain so sharp going forward.”

Guang Baiqiao withdrew his smile, revealing a hint of smugness, “Lin Yunliang.”

Guang Baiqiao actually knew this name. Seeing Zhang Qing’an’s shocked expression, Guang Baiqiao was satisfied.

“Senior Brother,”

“Where is he?” Zhang Qing’an lunged forward, attempting to grab Guang Baiqiao.

He was dodged by Guang Baiqiao, who became even more smug. After all, with this leverage in hand, Zhang Qing’an would be easily controlled.

“Senior Brother, why are you in such a hurry?” Guang Baiqiao continued to tease, appearing fearless.

He indeed was no longer afraid. If something happened to him, how would Zhang Qing’an find the person he wanted to find?

“Looking at Senior Brother, you don’t seem in a hurry either,” Guang Baiqiao said with a grin, showing no fear of the person in front of him.

Zhang Qing’an’s movements didn’t stop. He was still trying to grab Guang Baiqiao, but he underestimated the man’s cunning.

Indeed, as he continued to act, Zhang Qing’an discovered something was wrong.

His vision became hazy, and his hands clearly began to lose strength. It was evident that he had been plotted against.

“Guang Baiqiao, you…”

“Has it finally taken effect?” Guang Baiqiao’s smile was brilliant, making him look like an innocent young master.

If not for these events, Zhang Qing’an might not have been unwilling to be friends with him. However, their relationship dictated that it would be difficult for them to have a good relationship.

Especially in this current situation. Zhang Qing’an tried hard to calm himself down. Since he had been schemed against, he shouldn’t continue to act rashly, otherwise, he would only be further schemed against.

He should also blame himself for being impatient… Although Zhang Qing’an was somewhat annoyed, he endured it. Guang Baiqiao, he would never let go.

“Guang Baiqiao! I have no interest in Ning Shijiang! You shouldn’t target me.” Zhang Qing’an said, gradually feeling his body’s spiritual power draining away, his face becoming paler.

He also harbored resentment. It was clear he had no interest in Ning Shijiang, so why was Guang Baiqiao finding trouble with him because he liked Ning Shijiang? And that Ning Shijiang! He was also an annoying fellow!

When Guang Baiqiao heard Ning Shijiang mentioned, his expression changed, but he quickly recovered and acted righteously, “You say you have no interest, so you have no interest? I don’t believe it!”

“Only dead people’s words are the most trustworthy in this world!” Guang Baiqiao’s words clearly revealed his murderous intent.

Guang Baiqiao was probably murderous long ago but just didn’t have a good opportunity to act.

But this time would undoubtedly be different.

“Fellow disciples cannot make a move against each other,” Zhang Qing’an said.

He was actually reciting a mantra, trying to change his current situation. The cultivation technique Zhang Qing’an had learned was not taught by Qingyun Sect; it was given by Siam, and Siam’s was clearly much more powerful. He also secretly felt fortunate that he had already advanced, otherwise, he couldn’t withstand it now.

Guang Baiqiao was amused by Zhang Qing’an’s words, clearly pleased by them. Even in this state, he was still so strong-willed?

“Senior Brother is truly a man of integrity,” Guang Baiqiao said, showing disdain. “Since Senior Brother is so strong-willed, why not…”

Saying this, he threw a dagger, which landed at Zhang Qing’an’s feet.

“This is what it means to be a man of integrity.”

“Of course, Senior Brother can also let me…”

Guang Baiqiao was exceptionally smug, but he had provoked the wrong person. And perhaps because he intended to humiliate him, he kept dawdling, giving Zhang Qing’an a chance to survive.

“Meow meow meow!!!” piercing cat cries exploded in his ears.

A look of joy appeared on Zhang Qing’an’s face, thinking that this cat wasn’t always dropping the ball.

Siam was about to go crazy.

The situation was as follows:

Lin Yunliang was lost in thought, frightening Siam greatly. Siam transformed into human form and reappeared before Lin Yunliang. Lin Yunliang was distracted, while Siam squatted down to look at the person on the ground.

The guy on the ground was a cultivator. Even if Lin Yunliang’s blood had some special use, it wouldn’t cause someone to die after just soaking in it, but he still suffered greatly.

Siam squatted down with a smug smile and leaned closer, “Wow wow wow, you look so ugly like this!”

And indeed, he looked ugly! The flesh on the research maniac’s face had already been corroded by the blood in the blood pool, falling off piece by piece, dropping into the pool, and then melting, mixing together. It was one thing for them to mix together, but they even contaminated the blood in the blood pool.

The originally bright red blood pool instantly turned dark black.

“Hic… hic!!” The research maniac even lost an eyeball into the blood pool. His remaining eyeball stared at the cat that suddenly appeared. Upon closer inspection, there was no fear or terror on his half-remaining face. On the contrary, his eyes revealed a frenzied, passionate emotion.

It could be seen that he was curious about this blood pool, about Lin Yunliang, and about the cat that suddenly appeared and called itself Siam, and about the name that Siam mentioned, which could make Lin Yunliang lose his senses.

He was curious, but he probably wouldn’t have the chance to be curious anymore.

“Wow wow wow, you’re quite bold,” Siam, of course, saw the surprise in the research maniac’s eyes.

This greatly shocked Siam. The little cat was also bold and extended a finger to tap the head of this person who had long lost its flesh.

“The feel is really bad.”

“Hic!!!” The research maniac, despite being bold, couldn’t help but get angry upon hearing Siam’s evaluation.

And Lin Yunliang also clearly came back to his senses and asked, “Fifteen days ago, did you go to the barren mountains east of Qingyun Mountain?”

Lin Yunliang suddenly remembered this incident. Fifteen days ago, he was originally a blood bank with only half a breath left. But on that day, he suddenly felt a force enter his body.

In an instant, all the wounds on his body recovered, and even the deficit from continuous bloodletting for dozens of days was instantly restored. At that time, a person appeared in his mind. He was a very clean and handsome man.

Lin Yunliang couldn’t remember who this person was, but he knew that this person was very important to him.

However, given the unknown situation outside, Lin Yunliang decided to lie low and continue pretending to be half-dead.

Perhaps because the power from fifteen days ago entered his body, the blood he released afterward, and the books stained by that blood, appeared in an unprecedented state.

This was what led Ning Xiyu to come.

In fact, Lin Yunliang didn’t know that Ning Xiyu had captured him. He guessed a few people, including the Ning father and son. When he actually saw Ning Xiyu, he was relieved.

Since he had a clear understanding, as long as he seized the opportunity and left here, he wouldn’t let the Ning family, Ning Shijiang, or Ning Xiyu go.

Lin Yunliang being captured was also due to his lack of caution.

Since being assigned to Lingtian Mountain, Lin Yunliang often saw a blurry figure in his dreams. Unfortunately, he could never see the person’s face clearly, which was a regret in his heart.

On Lingtian Mountain, because Sun Gu’s plot failed, Lin Yunliang gained a reputation as someone not to be trifled with. Because no one dared to provoke him, most people dared not live in the same room with him.

This was a benefit to Lin Yunliang. Lin Yunliang also didn’t like living in the same room with others.

Having his own room gave Lin Yunliang more private space. Moreover, he knew that Ning Xiyu and the others were busy dealing with the new disciple recruitment conference, so they wouldn’t come to trouble him, which made him a bit relaxed.

The blurry figure was often in his mind. That blurry figure appeared in many places, and he should have been by that person’s side. Many of those scenes were on boats, in the mountains, by streams, various kinds, countless.

This situation made Lin Yunliang a bit confused. He clearly knew he had forgotten some things, but he just couldn’t remember them. And unconsciously, he had drawn that blurry figure.

And it was this figure that became the tool for Ning Xiyu and the others to scheme against him.

This led to Lin Yunliang being locked in the secret chamber and having his blood extracted to nourish the book.

Now, seeing Siam, many things seemed to connect in an instant, making Lin Yunliang dazed and also much more clear-headed.

Siam was stunned. “How do you know about this?”

Siam’s eyes rolled, and he suddenly understood. It must be because their fate lines were intertwined! The reason the tribulation back then was so massive was because Zhang Qing’an’s body was entwined with Lin Yunliang’s fate line.

With two such fate lines, it was equivalent to two people undergoing tribulation. Naturally, the disturbance would not be small. It was fortunate that Zhang Qing’an’s tribulation lightning at that time was only the tribulation for advancing to Foundation Establishment. If it were the tribulation for advancing to Golden Core or Nascent Soul, it would likely be even more astonishing.

“Did that day’s tribulation also feed back to you?”

Although this was a question, both people present clearly understood.

The research maniac was surprised to hear this, his expression clearly becoming more frenzied. Tribulation feedback? Such a thing was uncommon!

The person under Lin Yunliang’s feet was still mumbling, which was really annoying. So Siam suggested, “He’s so noisy, kill him quickly! I’ll take you to find Zhang Qing’an!”

“Hic!!! No…” I…

The research maniac wanted to say something, but Lin Yunliang didn’t care. What he wanted to do most was to find Zhang Qing’an. Although he didn’t particularly like this cat demon, it still gave him a sense of familiarity, indicating that this cat demon had a not-so-shallow connection with him.

So Lin Yunliang was willing to believe him. He calmly stepped on the research maniac’s neck, breaking it.

The research maniac never thought he would die like this. He stared with wide eyes, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief, and then his breath ceased.

Siam and Lin Yunliang didn’t care about this person. Siam took him directly to Zhang Qing’an’s dormitory but didn’t see Zhang Qing’an.

Fortunately, the connection between the two was deep enough that they sensed something was wrong. Relying on the connection between them, they found Zhang Qing’an and timely intervened to save him.

Siam was furious. What kind of person! How dare he bully their An’an! Their An’an was clearly so good! Too hateful!

Now that Lin Yunliang was by his side, he immediately acted like a tiger relying on its power. He stomped his feet, “Lin Yunliang! Hurry! Kill him! He dares to bully An’an! We can’t let him go!”

Although Lin Yunliang hadn’t remembered those things yet, he was furious. He knew that if he had come any later, the person might have been in danger. If the person had truly been in danger, he couldn’t say what he might have done.

As expected, he increased the force of his grip. Guang Baiqiao’s neck was being squeezed, and he was about to roll his eyes. How could he have known that someone would come to save him? He had clearly planned everything!

Although Zhang Qing’an felt pleased, his rationality remained. He knew that the person couldn’t be harmed now. Guang Baiqiao, due to his single-root cultivator status, held a significant position in the sect. If his soul lamp suddenly extinguished, it would undoubtedly cause a huge stir.

“Stop!”

“Don’t move him!” Zhang Qing’an, in a moment of desperation, directly reached out and placed his hand on Lin Yunliang’s.

Zhang Qing’an could feel Lin Yunliang’s body suddenly stiffen. A flicker of doubt flashed through his mind, but the timing was not right, and he couldn’t consider these things.

“An’an, he’s about to kill you, and you still want to let him go?” Siam said somewhat annoyed.

He was annoyed for a reason.
