The system is the proficiency panel

The next morning, Ye Wanjun and several other realm foundation-building cultivators gathered in the meeting room of the Adventurer's Guild, quietly waiting for Lin Ji's arrival.

Not long after, Lin Ji appeared without warning and sat in the main seat of the conference room. The others were already used to it, so they just stood up and saluted together, and sat down after getting Daozi's response.

Looking around, Lin Ji looked at the back left with a strange look. A middle-aged man lowered his head, hiding his body deliberately so as not to attract attention. Looking closely, one could see traces of injuries on his face.

This made Lin Ji a little strange. The middle-aged man was called Zuo Benqing, a veteran single-state realm foundation-building cultivator who was over a hundred years old. How could he be unable to recover from his injuries? The other party's strength must be okay, so Lin Ji asked.

"Zuo Benqing, what's wrong with the wound on your face?"

Zuo Benqing, who was called, seemed to feel embarrassed and hesitated for a while before answering.

"On the night of two days ago, a group of people came from nowhere and tried to sneak into Hongxia City without being guarded. I discovered them and we started fighting. One of them should be the Martial Saint, but her face was blocked so I couldn't see her clearly. We both got hurt. Her back and feet were frostbitten by me, and I was also hit on the face and right hand. Moreover, the other party's attack had the ability to cause continuous damage, which has been preventing the recovery of the injury. I estimate that I will not be fully recovered until tomorrow."

Lin Ji's mind moved, and a spiritual power carrying the artistic conception of water spread throughout Zuo Benqing's body, healing him in an instant, and then he asked.

"What about the others? They can't all run away."

"It was an emergency. It took just over a minute from start to finish. I only left three bodies, which I handed over to Zhu Lin to deal with. Daozi, this is the extracted memory. Others have already seen it."

Zuo Benqing said as he took out three balls of light of different sizes from his storage ring. Seeing this, Lin Ji directly probed his mental power into them.

Zuo Benqing was still measured in his actions. The memories were relatively complete, but unfortunately they were not of important people. All he knew was that a person nicknamed Sister Duan brought them out from the Purple Qi Domain, and that their main task was to cooperate with a big shot to accomplish something, and he knew nothing else.

After browsing, Lin Ji frowned slightly. There was too little useful information.

"Have you found this Sister Duan in Hongxia City or its surrounding areas? And where is this place called Ziqiyu?"

The five people looked at each other, and finally a dignified old man with white hair and beard on the right shook his head and answered.

"Reply Daozi, we have searched all over Hongxia City for this woman, and even secretly checked some people's memories, but we still can't find her. It is estimated that there is something similar to a magic weapon covering her up, and the grade is not low. As for the Purple Qi Domain, Hongxia City has no records of this at all."

"Forget it, arrange some people to investigate as much as possible. Is there anything else to do while I'm away?"

Lin Ji was helpless as he was completely in the dark and couldn't find anything. He brought too few cultivators with him. It was difficult to control Hongxia City and the surrounding mountains and forests in a short period of time. How could he investigate a martial saint who came from an unknown place, unless he forced everyone to check their memories, but there would definitely be resistance.

The old man Yue Shanwu knew that they had not done their job well, and his face was ashamed. Seeing that Lin Ji's face was not good, he dared not say more and only talked about the key points.

"Recently, several cities that used to trade frequently with Hongxia City have suddenly released news that we killed Ye Youxing and threatened the uncle and nephew of the Ye family to occupy Hongxia City. We also found out that they have gathered a lot of people during this period. It seems that a war is inevitable."

"Oh! Do you know who's leading?"

Lin Ji said this with an interested look in his eyes, and put the previous things aside and kept them in mind.

"Ye Qingyu, the Lord of Luoye City, is the person Ye Youkong asked for help before."

Yue Shanwu couldn't help but reveal a slightly sarcastic smile as he spoke. For Ye Qingyu to suddenly attack at this time, he must have been involved in the affairs of the Ye family. Thinking of Ye Youkong's expression when he learned the news a few days ago, Yue Shanwu's smile became even more intense.

"Be more restrained. Ye Youkong is one of ours now, after all."

Lin Ji glanced at Yue Shanwu, telling him not to laugh too exaggeratedly, and then thought about arranging the task.

"Yue Shanwu, you are meticulous in your work, so you can lead the formation masters to set up sensing formations around Hongxia City. The requirements are not high, but at least you need to know when someone comes in or out."

"Yue Feng, Xia Yi, both of you are in the second realm of mind, and your strength is stronger than that of ordinary martial saints. Lead 500 monks to block the explorers and small forces in the surrounding area. You can send some people over from the plain."

"Ye Wanjun, you stay in the city to defend it, and train the armored corps. They don't have talent in cultivation, but they can try their hand at martial arts. Ouyang Yun, don't be lazy, and temporarily cooperate with Ye Youkong to manage Hongxia City."

"That's all for today. I have an appointment with the real person, so I'll leave first."

After Ye Wanjun and others agreed in unison, Lin Ji returned to the Ye family, practicing while waiting for the arrival of Ye Xun's clone. Just in case, it would be better for his real body to stay in the teleportation array, as that place was too important.

……

Inside the gloomy dungeon for serious criminals, the air was filled with an odor of decay and dampness, as if even time seemed heavy and slow here.

clap clap!

The sound of whipping came from the deepest cell, which made people feel terrified.

Just then, footsteps were heard in the corridor. A prison guard led the way, followed by Ye Zizhen, who had her blonde hair tied into a ponytail. She was dressed in casual clothes and looked out of place here.

Ignoring the prisoners in other cells, the two quickly walked to the deepest cell, and without waiting to knock on the door, it was opened from the inside.

Ye Youkong appeared in front of the two with a cold face, and without waiting for Ye Zizhen to speak, he ordered the prison guards to retreat first.

Then he looked at his niece. The two looked at each other for a while. Ye Youkong couldn't stand his niece's gaze, so he finally sighed, let her in, and closed the cell door.

Ye Zizhen saw that besides his uncle, there was also a masked woman in the cell. She was holding a long needle and stabbing it into the eyeballs of a man hanging in the middle of the cell. There were many broken torture instruments around the man, and there were only a few scars on his body, which could not hurt him at all. This person was Mo Ranyan.

Last night Ye Zizhen told his uncle about this matter. His uncle transferred Mo Ran Yan, whose ability to move was sealed by Lin Ji, to this underground cell overnight. He has been torturing him for a long time, but Mo Ran Yan remains silent.

"Uncle, he still won't say anything?"

Looking at the situation in front of him, Ye Zizhen asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Youkong looked embarrassed and sighed.

"It's difficult. The Martial Saint is too strong. Physical punishment is basically useless. We don't know much about Mo Ranyan, so we can't get him emotionally involved. Otherwise, should we ask for help from the adults?"

After hearing this, Ye Zizhen did not answer, but took a few steps forward, asked the masked woman to retreat with the broken needle, and faced Mo Ranyan himself.
