"Will Ding Qingya agree if I book a hotel room?"
Watching Ding Qingya head home, Fang Lin Kong felt a deep reluctance. His mind was filled with many forbidden thoughts. It wasn't until her graceful figure disappeared that Fang Lin Kong reluctantly took a step away. However, he didn't return home; instead, he wandered aimlessly. At an abandoned construction site, seeing that no one was around, Fang Lin Kong calmly said, "You've been following me for so long; let's talk."
"The Gouli Heaven's Tome is indeed remarkable; it can grant an ordinary person such power in just a few days, breaking the thousand mark in the Spiritual Energy Index. But with just this, you are still not enough to survive in this world."
The space behind Fang Lin Kong rippled slightly, and after a wave of fluctuations, a figure in black slowly materialized. It was a very short man, completely wrapped in a peculiar black outfit, even his face was tightly covered. The wide robe billowed in the wind, exuding an inexplicable aura.
Although he had sensed something earlier, the sudden appearance of the mysterious figure made Fang Lin Kong feel his body stiffen and a hint of panic rise within him. "Invisibility technique? A master!" Fang Lin Kong pondered. The other party had been subtly emitting an aura that continuously disrupted Fang Lin Kong's spiritual energy field. Otherwise, with Fang Lin Kong's novice level, he would have truly been unable to discern that someone was tailing him.
"To be able to use invisibility techniques means you are at least one level above me. Where did this freak come from? Why are they targeting me?"
Feeling wary, Fang Lin Kong softly probed, "Survival in this world doesn't depend on individual skills but rather on the size of the troubles one encounters. If luck runs out completely, even the world's top expert can find themselves in trouble."
"Heh heh! Heh heh heh!"
The man in black laughed strangely, leaving Fang Lin Kong puzzled about his true intentions. However, before Fang Lin Kong could continue probing into the man's background, he spoke up and addressed his doubts.
"I already have information about you and firmly believe there is great potential for cooperation between us. Whether in business or in the dark realms, there are mutual interests at stake."
Fang Lin Kong found this opening line somewhat amusing and replied, "The dark forces in this city are controlled by Boss Ding. Why are you looking for me? Don't tell me you're here to offer me great help to overthrow Boss Ding and take his place or something ridiculous like that. I have no desire to become anyone's pawn; I just want to live my life without any trouble."
Fang Lin Kong made his stance clear from the outset; he neither wished to become a puppet for the other party nor did he intend to obstruct their actions. He adopted an air of indifference.
The man in black, clearly unaccustomed to being rejected, stepped forward until he was directly in front of Fang Lin Kong. His tone suddenly tightened as he said, "No matter what I want to do, you have no right to refuse. It is only a matter of time before we take over this city. You should know that with the mere Chifeng Legion, you are utterly powerless against the True Flame Sect."
"True Flame Sect? That cult organization associated with Camberto?" Ding Chifeng had warned Fang Lin Kong about the crisis posed by the two defected Executives of the International Demon Alliance, Zhou Qingzhe and Zhang Rongying. As for the True Flame Sect, Fang Lin Kong had only heard about it once from Ding Chifeng and had no idea why they were so arrogant.
"As long as you join our cult and pledge sufficient loyalty, you will eventually possess power akin to Camberto's. Our true god has always been generous to his followers."
The man in black spoke with a sense of pride, but Fang Lin Kong felt a chill run down his spine. His education had instilled in him an aversion to any form of religion, let alone a group that openly declared, "We are cultists, engaging in wicked deeds!" like the True Flame Sect.
However, piecing together the events, Fang Lin Kong began to understand. He had once come into contact with Gouli Heaven's Tome and had gained some inexplicable energy. It was as if he were a test subject researching how to unravel the mysteries of Gouli Heaven's Tome. The intentions of the True Flame Sect were undoubtedly complex; they could dispatch someone as powerful as Camberto to besiege Yuan Qian Kun. Clearly, they held a firm stance on this matter.
"I won't disturb you any longer. If there's anything, discuss it with Boss Ding first."
"Damn! Do you think I'm a three-year-old? If gaining power were that easy, the followers of the True Flame Sect would already be spread across the world. There must be some trickery involved; I can't fall for it." Trusting his instincts that nothing the man said was credible, Fang Lin Kong reiterated his refusal. He took a few steps back, intending to leave. Just as he turned around, he felt as if he had collided with an invisible wall.
"Oh no! It's a sealed barrier. I can't escape."
Fang Lin Kong had thoroughly memorized the materials left by Oren Vikin. Although his extensive studies hindered his cultivation progress, his knowledge of various spells broadened his horizons. He immediately recognized the spell being used against him.
This type of barrier was developed to prevent harm to ordinary people during battles; once trapped inside, unless one possessed greater power than the creator of the barrier, they could only wait for the creator to release it.
"Now that the International Demon Alliance has begun to fracture, the world order is about to become tumultuous. We at the True Flame Sect have gathered countless like-minded individuals and will ultimately replace the International Demon Alliance along with those foolish human organizations, becoming a grand coalition that integrates humans, monsters, and extraordinary races. Since you refuse to join us, don't blame me for what comes next. Everything that obstructs our cult in this world must be eliminated."
The man in black let out a strange howl, and with both hands, he conjured two orbs of Black Flame. Under the astonished gaze of Fang Lin Kong, the Black Flame coalesced into two peculiar flaming curved blades.
"What exactly is this guy? A dark magic user or some unidentified powerful warrior?" Fang Lin Kong thought in a panic. The foundational tutorial he had studied was not an encyclopedia encompassing all forms of magic, and suddenly facing such a bizarre opponent left him quite flustered.
"Why don't you try one of the Twelve Divine Techniques of our True Flame Sect, the Blazing Sky Slash!"
The man in black swung his arms wildly, and the two curved blades made of black flames howled through the air towards Fang Lin Kong. He hurriedly stomped on the ground to evade the attack.
Desperately recalling the many techniques he had learned, Fang Lin Kong found himself unable to think of any that could be useful in this situation. He activated his most accomplished Yin Wood True Qi to protect himself, but no matter how he maneuvered, he couldn't outpace the fiery curved blades that danced in mid-air. In an instant, he sustained multiple injuries. If it weren't for the nature of Yin Wood True Qi, which promoted growth and was excellent for restoring vitality and healing wounds, Fang Lin Kong feared he would have been gravely injured in a mere moment.
Even so, as he desperately tried to summon countless plants to counterattack, they were all burned to ashes by the flames swirling around the Black Flame blades. "Damn it! This lunatic just attacks without letting me finish my words. If it comes down to life and death, I might just surrender!"
