The secret realm teleportation authority he wrapped up now was restricted only to within the secret realm, and to teleport back to the Liu Yun Sect, or teleport back from the outside world.
He was incapable of opening a teleportation channel to another place from the secret realm.
Zhang Dao Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle at Lin Yi’s new look, “Why aren’t you using the Tian Ba identity anymore? You’ve switched to this much more plain appearance.”
“Master, it’s better to be unassuming when it’s necessary. After all, we’re going to play in someone’s turf. The people of the Sky Sword Sect are pretty decent, I don’t want to cause any conflict.” Lin Yi answered with a smile.
If there’s a crisis in other Righteous Sects, which sect wouldn’t take advantage of others’ weaknesses? The only possibility would be the Sky Sword Sect.
This sect despises evil, their cultivators practice pure Righteous Swordsmanship and do not tolerate even a hint of impurity.
“You have a point, make it quick.” Zhang Dao Xuan directly opened a teleportation channel, right at the location of Paper Shadow Sect’s headquarters.
Deep within the Red Lotus Fire State, there is an influence from a mysterious energy which makes teleportation impossible. The location of the Paper Shadow Sect was at the peripheral deserted area of the Sky Sword Sect, so naturally, there wouldn’t be any difficulty.
Lin Yi stepped into the teleportation channel, and upon emerging, found himself in the midst of mountains.
The spiritual energy of this mountain range was very thin and could basically only satisfy the cultivation of those in the early and middle stages of Qi refining.
He surveyed all around him, not finding traces of any formations.
According to this dwarf’s information, the Paper Shadow Sect was not established on the mountain, but inside the mountain. Without signs of any formations on the outside, this greatly reduced the chances of it being discovered.
Through the Eye of Emptiness, Lin Yi saw the black aura in a mountain, which was consistent with the position mentioned in the information.
Under the threat of death, the dwarf would naturally not hide anything.
He rode the wind, coming to a secluded part halfway up a mountain. He opened a mechanism, and the rocks in front immediately moved backward, revealing a gateway.
Lin Yi enveloped his whole body in thunder and lightning and slowly walked in. Upon entering, he immediately smelled a rich scent of blood.
At the same time, a series of everlasting lamps within the mountain cave automatically ignited, illuminating a staircase leading downward.
He went down directly, the endless stairway hinting that the headquarters of the Paper Shadow Sect probably ran deep underground.
After a while, he descended from the stairs and arrived at a much larger cavern.
With the surrounding light, he saw numerous drawings carved into the mountain walls surrounding him, surprisingly, all displaying methods of human torture.
Each kind of method had accompanying text, seeming to be a kind of method for cultivating Divine Sense, through torturing others to satisfy oneself spiritually, in order to gain growth in Divine Sense.
Lin Yi instantly understood why the dwarf and his disciple were fond of torturing others – so this was a feature of the Paper Shadow Sect.
The duration of controlling a Paper Man was directly related to Divine Sense. The more powerful the Divine Sense, the more Paper Men one could control and for a longer time.
Probably because Divine Sense was difficult to cultivate through normal methods, the cultivators of the Paper Shadow Sect came up with such a wicked method.
Previously, he never asked the dwarf why he loved to torture his disciples, and in the books left by the Flower Thief, no information related to it was discovered.
Who could have anticipated that torturing others would be a method to cultivate Divine Sense.
Spread around the mountain walls, Lin Yi also saw skeletons, some belonging to animals, but others to humans.
Judging from the dense resentment he sensed, they were likely innocent individuals tortured to death by the Paper Shadow Sect.
The Paper Shadow Sect, a trivial matter even without a Golden Core Real Person, could be easily wiped out by any of the Ten Major Sects.
However, for Qi refining Loose Cultivators and ordinary people, the Foundation Building Cultivators of the Paper Shadow Sect, were their unavoidable nightmares.
Apart from these drawings, there were also some runes inscribed on the surrounding mountain walls, which were likely blocking the resentment from the area below.
Plus the thick layer of the mountain itself, naturally the resentment wouldn’t be able to escape. Otherwise, the cultivators of the Sky Sword Sect would definitely be able to sense it.
Given their hatred for evil, they would certainly root out the Paper Shadow Sect entirely and grind its disciples into dust.
Upon entering the underground cavern, Lin Yi had sensed the existence of a few strands of aura, seeming to slowly approach him.
Now he was a Golden Core Real Person, and had cultivated the Creation Golden Pill. His perception was as sharp as those in the initial stage of the Nascent Soul.
These few strands of aura were likely the master and senior martial brother that the dwarf talked about, all of them changed into forms that did not resemble either humans or ghosts, failing to become either humans or demons.
“I was entrusted by Shen Bao Hua to come here to collect materials used to make Paper Men, hence I request your cooperation.” Lin Yi stood in the middle of the cavern and slowly spoke.
After his words fell, several black figures suddenly appeared, surrounding him.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect that Shen Bao Hua would send someone to honor us, seems like I’ve gained a good disciple.”
“Sorcerer Senior Brother, even if it’s your disciple that brought him, we can’t forget about us, we still share the same body after all.”
“Should we possess him now? It would be a waste, why don’t we torture him first, that would help to solidify our soul bodies.”
“Tch, are you really discussing disposing of me so openly? Shen Bao Hua came for me to eliminate you guys,” Lin Yi chuckled and said.
