Wu County.

A tall figure followed the flow of people into the city gate. The figure was dressed as Wandering Hero, with messy hair shawl, sharp features and calm eyes. It was Lin Sheng.

After all, he was one of his own. After determining that Wang Wei and others were most likely in trouble, he thought for a while and decided to come over and take a look.

It would be great if we could save it.

Of course, the premise is that the lives of people like Wang Wei are not in danger now.

At the same time, Wu County was hundreds of miles away in an inaccessible mountain forest.

Although it is a mountain forest, there is a spacious courtyard in it. The courtyard has old furnishings and looks quite old. It seems to be an ancient house that has been abandoned for a long time. However, at this time, people can be seen walking around in the ancient house.

The backyard of the old house.

"Huang Qi, what do you Myriad Sect Alliance mean!? You would actually attack us. Have you forgotten how your sect was destroyed?"

Wang Wei was lying on the ground leaning against the stone pillar, his face pale, his face full of anger and confusion, and he spoke in a deep voice to the tall and strong man Sallow Face in front of him.

"Imperial Court is our common enemy. What do you think? Have you already become Imperial Court eagle dog?"

After hearing Wang Wei's words, the Sallow Face strong man shook his head slightly and said with a look of regret on his face.

"It's naturally impossible for us to surrender Imperial Court, Wang Wei, you and I are considered acquaintances. I originally thought that you had died in the hands of Imperial Court as early as Linjiang Prefecture, but I didn't expect that you suddenly arrived in Tiannan. I can only blame you for your bad luck, but you happened to bump into me at this time."

"What do you mean!? What do you Myriad Sect Alliance want to do!?"

Wang Wei is a little unclear, but from the other party's words, it is also clear that the person who came is not good.

Originally, Dark Star also had the idea of contacting Myriad Sect Alliance. After all, the enemy of his enemy is his friend, but he didn't expect that the other party would attack them first. It was really difficult for him to understand why the other party did this?

"It won't take long for you to know. Don't worry, I have met you a few times. Be obedient and avoid asking for trouble."

Huang Qi folded his arms and said calmly. After speaking, he ignored the other side and gave instructions to the subordinates beside him.

"Keep the person in solitary confinement, and remember to give him medicine every hour."

"Yes, uncle."

Immediately, two people responded and lifted up Wang Wei, who seemed to be weak and boneless, and took him down.

Huang Qi turned around and left the yard, came to a room in the mansion, and spoke respectfully.

"Master, I would like to see you."

"Come in."

A calm female voice came out from the room, and Huang Qi immediately pushed the door open and stepped in.

He bowed to a Daoist nun in green who was sitting cross-legged in the room, and spoke respectfully.

"I've met Master."

"Master, according to your order, we have mobilized a large number of manpower in the alliance in the past few days and searched for seven masters of Divine Form realm, including five early Divine Form warriors, two mid-term warriors, and thirty-seven warriors of Bone Transformation realm."

"But two of them are Blazing Star Emissary from Dark Star organization and nine Hidden Star Emissary."

Huang Qi paused after saying this, carefully watching the reaction of the middle-aged Daoist nun.

"Very good, you did a good job, but it's not enough. Just feel free to search. As long as you are not a Imperial Court person, there is no need to worry. If there is something that cannot be solved, just let me be your teacher."

The middle-aged Daoist nun or Hong Lian nodded with dull eyes and spoke slowly.

"Yes, disciple, let's continue making arrangements."

Hearing this, Huang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again, and then left.

Not long after he left, the door opened again, and a bloated and fat figure Hong Lian appeared silently in the room.

"Hong Lian, with such a large-scale action of yours, I'm afraid it won't be long before you attract the attention of Imperial Court, and it might be difficult to end it then."

He Lianfeng frowned slightly. He was naturally very clear about what happened in the past few days. Although Hong Lian had told him in advance, such an action still made him feel a little inappropriate.

"And you also took action against Dark Star people. Those Dark Star Emissarys in Dark Star are not good people. If the news leaks out, it will be difficult to deal with the Myriad Sect Alliance's current situation."

However, upon hearing these words, Hong Lian's face did not change at all, and he just replied calmly.

"Of course I know all this, but so what, you haven't seen the real Divine Power. The power over Martial Way is the end of practice. Besides, Imperial Court and Dark Star are now focused on each other, so how can they take care of these Divine Form Martial Artist."

"By the time they notice all this, you and I may no longer be in the Myriad Sect Alliance."

Speaking of this, Hong Lian showed an inexplicable excitement and excitement in his eyes, and small twisting lines appeared between his eyebrows.

"Don't worry, I have already informed Rachel and the others. By then I will let you feel that power for yourself, and you will understand what this power represents."

Hearing this, He Lianfeng fell silent.

His eyes fell on Hong Lian who was three or four meters away, and he felt that this old friend at this moment was a bit strange.

But the aura emanating from his body has indeed increased compared to the past few days, and even the stubborn injuries on his body have been completely recovered.

This situation is indeed beyond his imagination, especially the mysterious power Hong Lian mentioned. Not only can it break through to higher High Realm realms more easily, it can even increase lifespan.

Although he had doubts about this, he had to admit that he did see something special about Hong Lian.

If all of this is true... then...

At their level, worldly power, beauty, and wealth have little appeal.

Only cultivation and longevity are the most important things.

Thinking of this, He Lianfeng felt a little more impulsive and eager, but soon he forced himself to calm down and continued.

"Those people want a lot of Divine Form Martial Artist. The Divine Form Martial Artist you captured during this period may not be able to satisfy them. Moreover, after the Imperial Court was purged, there are not many Divine Form Martial Artist circulating now... Even if you and I take action personally, we may not be able to find a few."

Hearing this, Hong Lian smiled brightly, and the faint look on his face disappeared.

"It doesn't matter, aren't there ready-made ones now? There are quite a few Divine Form Martial Artist among the Myriad Sect Alliance."

"You mean..."

He Lianfeng's complexion changed instantly, his brows furrowed and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Brother Helian, are these people more important than you and me pursuing the great road?"

Hong Lian didn't have any mood swings at all, he just said slowly.

"Except for you in the alliance, the disciples of my two factions will select some Divine Form Martial Artist. As for the other old guys, as long as they see the power of Divine Power, I am afraid that I will take the initiative to send those disciples over without me opening my mouth..."

Hearing this, He Lianfeng's frown slowly relaxed, the choice already made in his heart.

"That being the case, then it will be up to you, fellow Daoist Hong Lian, to make arrangements..."

Wu County.

On the long street.

Lin Sheng Wander along with the flow of people.

Wang Wei told him the location of the dark spot before leaving, which was in this county.

It was not until the end of the long street that Lin Sheng stopped in front of the penultimate shop.

This is a grocery store with old decoration, obviously it is an old store.

The signboard Sun's Grocery Store hangs on it. Half of the word 'Sun' is faded. If you look closely, you can only see a small word.

At this moment, there are several clerks busy behind the counter in this grocery store.

There were not many guests.

Seemingly noticing Lin Sheng stamping outside, a waiter immediately came out with a smile on his face.

"This customer wants to buy groceries. The store has everything. Just come in and take a look."

This guy, who was about thirty years old, had a warm attitude. He walked towards Lin Sheng while looking at Lin Sheng quickly.

Lin Sheng stepped into the store and then said to the waiter.

"Three ounces of yellow sheep soup and two pounds of cuttlefish scales need to be ground into powder. I want to watch you make it."

After hearing Lin Sheng's words, the smile on the waiter's face paused, and soon returned to normal, with a more respectful look on his face.

"Your Majesty, your visit is just in time. There are exactly two kilograms of cuttlefish scales left in the account. Please follow me to the backyard storehouse to get them."

"Okay."

Lin Sheng nodded.

What he said was naturally the secret code for the dark spots.

Seeing that everything was correct, he felt a little more doubtful.

Soon he followed the waiter into the backyard.

"Gray Star Emissary Qing Song, I have met this Lord Blazing Star Emissary."

"Did a Blazing Star Emissary come over in the past two days?"

Lin Sheng nodded slightly and asked.

"No, no one else from the organization has been here recently."

This Gray Star Emissary said quickly.

"No?"

Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Did Wang Wei encounter some trouble on the way?"

This thought flashed through his mind.

At this time, a short and fat middle-aged man quickly walked out of the backyard.

"Blazing Star Emissary Ku Zhu, I have met this Excellency."

The middle-aged man quickly came to Lin Sheng, with an extra token in his hand. It was a token of Blazing Star Emissary's identity. The words Ku Zhu were clearly visible on the back.

"I came here to look for Wang Wei. Have you ever seen it?"

Lin Sheng asked.

"Wang Wei Blazing Star Emissary, you did send a message to me three days ago, saying that you wanted to come over and see me, but you never came, but what happened?"

Ku Zhu had a look of surprise on his face, but soon he seemed to have thought of something.

"By the way, there is something else that came with the letter. You may be able to tell something about it. Please come with me."

While speaking, he had already led Lin Sheng quickly to the main hall.

And the Gray Star Emissary named Qing Song had already placed two cups of steaming tea on the table.

Two copper incense burners in the hall are sending out wisps of gray smoke, exuding a relaxing aroma.

"This is Wu County's finest Clear Spring tea. Please wait here for a moment while I go get it."

Ku Zhu said with a smile, then turned and left.

Watching the other party leave, Lin Sheng picked up the tea cup and gently rubbed the edge of the cup with his fingers.

He was not made to wait too long, but Ku Zhu had already returned in a few breaths, holding a black bag in his hand.

"This is what Wang Wei sent at that time..."

Ku Zhu came straight to Lin Sheng and handed over the kit.

Lin Sheng reached out to pick it up, but Ku Zhu suddenly had a strange smile on his face.

The next moment, the bag of tips was crushed, and a cloud of gray-black smoke exploded, submerging Lin Sheng instantly. At the same time, Ku Zhu's hands were like electricity, and he used tyrannical force to activate the weapon, and his two palms landed firmly on Lin Sheng's chest.

Bang, bang——

Click... click...

Two muffled bangs were heard, and almost at the same time as the muffled sounds, there were two crisp sounds of broken bones.

Ku Zhu Before the sneer on his face dissipated, he felt a sharp pain coming from his palm, leaving a look of confusion and confusion on his face.

But after all, he was rich in experience. He Divine Form instantly retreated backwards without even thinking about it. Just as he made the move, a suffocating feeling of restraint was already felt around his neck.

A big hand with distinct joints had already squeezed his neck tightly.

As the power emitted, the gray-black smoke dissipated instantly, revealing the indifferent face of Lin Sheng.

He was still sitting on the chair, only one hand reached out to strangle Ku Zhu.

"Wang Wei is this how you fell into your trap?"

Lin Sheng's eyes fell on Ku Zhu, whose face was full of disbelief, and he said lightly.

"You... who are you? You have obviously been hit by my True Dispersion Poison, how come you didn't react at all!!"

Ku Zhu said something with some difficulty.

Because the restraint on his neck was too strong, his entire face swelled the color of pig liver.

It was indeed difficult for him to understand that in this hall, whether it was the two cups of tea, the incense burner placed aside, or even the chair the other party was sitting on at the moment, there was a poison that could have a miraculous effect on Divine Form Martial Artist.

To put it bluntly, he is just a warrior who has just entered Divine Form. Even a warrior of late Divine Form stage may not be able to display 50% of his strength.

But the other party had obviously been in contact for a long time, so why didn't he seem to be affected at all, and even his poison skills didn't have the slightest effect.

"In Dark Star, I have never heard of a poisonous master like you. Tell me, who are you? Where is Wang Wei?"

Lin Sheng didn't pay attention to the other party's surprise, but said to himself.

I have to admit that the disguises of these people on the other side are extremely clever.

Even before he entered this hall, he never noticed anything wrong.

Moreover, the Ku Zhu warrior in front of him is even more powerful than late Divine Form stage. He practices quite advanced poison skills, and is obviously not an ordinary person.

"Do it!! Kill him!"

However, Ku Zhu roared in a low voice.

The next moment, several figures shot out from outside the hall.

It's a pity that it was instantly overwhelmed by a large number of green and black giant pythons, and in an instant not even the scum was left.

"My patience is limited, you really let me down."

Lin Sheng shook his head slightly and stopped talking nonsense.

The strength in his hands increased and Ku Zhu's neck was crushed directly.

This injury may be fatal to others, but it is not fatal to Divine Form Martial Artist, but the pain is real.

Before he could cry out, Lin Sheng's eyes had already turned into gold.

Ku Zhu only felt a deep dragon roar resounding from his consciousness, and his whole body fell into a state of confusion.
