Yet to Meet Its Master

"Lin Langtian of the Lin Clan, what are you doing here?"

Teng Sha, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark red robe, looked at the young man in front of him, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

Although Lin Langtian is a junior, his reputation in the Great Yan Dynasty is no less than that of Teng Sha, and may even be stronger.

Therefore, the moment Teng Sha saw Lin Langtian, he had a bad feeling.

"Hehe, you must be Teng Sha, the sect Sect Master of the Yin Puppet Sect in the Great Desolation Commandery. If Sect Master Teng can appear here, why can't I?"

Lin Langtian glanced at the middle-aged man opposite him, whose expression was uncertain, and smiled knowingly.

Although the Yin Puppet Sect's last exploration of the ancient stele was interfered with by his own people, these guys still managed to find their way here.

Unfortunately, this time I encountered myself.

Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, Teng Sha's expression darkened, and he immediately looked at the ancient runes behind him that exuded a mysterious aura, a hint of undisguised fervor flashing in his eyes.

"Young Master Langtian must have come here for this item as well."

As if he had thought of something, Teng Sha said in a deep voice.

He suddenly remembered that three years ago, when he led people to explore this Ancient Monument Space, he could have entered the Talisman Puppet Nest and taken away this ancient Black Rune.

As a result, he was inexplicably intercepted and severely injured by a mysterious powerful figure during his journey, and in the end, he could only return empty-handed, filled with Sub-Flame.

Later, after making numerous inquiries, he learned that this powerful figure was actually an elder of the Lin Clan, one of the Four Great Clans of the Great Yan Dynasty.

However, Teng Sha knew he had never provoked the Lin Clan, so he was apprehensive for a while.

But now it seems that the ambush last time was premeditated, and the mastermind behind it is probably the cold and aloof young man in front of us.

Seeing Teng Sha's unpredictable expression, Lin Langtian guessed that it was mostly related to what happened three years ago, and that he had figured out his scheme.

Lin Langtian shook his head dismissively at this.

Three years later, I have enough power to control the situation and am not afraid of the other party turning against me.

"Sect Master Teng is right. I do have my eye on this Black Rune. I wonder if Sect Master Teng would be willing to part with it?" Lin Langtian said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Teng Sha's heart sank.

As expected, Lin Langtian took a liking to the Black Rune.

Thinking of this, Teng Sha frowned, his eyes flashing.

He was weighing whether it was worth it to go against Lin Langtian, one of the top geniuses of the Great Yan Dynasty, for this uncertain and mysterious ancient rune.

However, while he was still thinking, the Jin Wu on Lin Langtian's shoulder couldn't wait any longer. It circled in the sky and then let out a cry.

"Bah!"

As the cry subsided, the Jin Wu opened its sharp beak and exhaled a thick stream of black, icy air towards Teng Sha and the others.

The black chill, like a silver river in the heavens, exuded an extreme cold that seemed capable of freezing even the air. This black chill quickly enveloped Teng Sha and the others.

"Something's wrong! This monster is strange!"

Teng Sha and the others' expressions changed, and then their Yuan Power surged out, gathering above them to form an invisible Yuan Power protective shield.

Although the Yuanli protective shield held back the black torrent, the extreme cold still managed to penetrate through it, causing Teng Sha and the others to shiver.

"What a terrifying monster!"

Seeing that even a mere demon beast could cause such enormous damage, Teng Sha and the others couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

As expected of Lin Langtian, the top genius of the Great Yan Dynasty, even his inconspicuous pet beast has strength comparable to the Creation Realm.

Just as they were thinking this, they suddenly discovered that Lin Langtian, who had been standing not far away, had mysteriously disappeared.

"Oh no, they're overhead!"

At this moment, an old man with sharp eyes behind Teng Sha suddenly looked up at the figure in mid-air, and his pupils shrank sharply.

No sooner had the words been spoken than, before Teng Sha and the others could react, the black shadow crashed down like a cannonball!

"Bang!"

The next moment, accompanied by a sound like shattering glass, the Yuan Power shield that had gathered the strength of more than a dozen powerful members of the Yin Puppet Sect was completely dissipated under the fierce punch of the black shadow, just like winter snow meeting spring.

Moreover, the moment the Yuan Power shield shattered, Teng Sha and the others were also affected by the residual force, and they retreated dozens of steps before they could stabilize themselves, with blood spitting out from the corner of their mouths.

After regaining their footing, Teng Sha and the others couldn't help but look at Lin Langtian in shock.

Although I had heard of the opponent's reputation before, I only realized how terrifying it was when I truly felt this powerful strength!

"Young Master Langtian, since you have taken a fancy to this item, my Yin Puppet Sect naturally dares not compete with you for it." Teng Sha's eyes kept changing, and then he cupped his hands to Lin Langtian before preparing to lead his men to retreat.

Lin Langtian's strength was simply beyond their ability to defeat.

Although this Black Rune is valuable, I cannot leave my life here.

However, just as the Yin Puppet Sect members were about to leave, a cold laugh came from behind them, "Did I say you could leave?"

Upon hearing this, Teng Sha and the others froze, and then a look of annoyance appeared in their eyes.

Even if you are Lin Langtian, the number one genius of the Lin Clan, you can't go this far.

However, just as they turned around, the anger in their eyes vanished instantly, replaced by utter horror, followed by a hint of panic.

Because a gigantic Silver Heavenly Phoenix containing immense energy crashed down upon them.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, before Teng Sha and his group could even react, the Yin Puppet Sect members, who had been struck by Lin Langtian's Great Heavenly Phoenix Seal, were completely wiped out.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian clapped his hands, his expression remaining calm.

The strongest member of the Yin Puppet Sect is Teng Sha, who Creation Realm Great Completion. The others are not worth mentioning and are not even qualified to warm him up.

Shaking his head, after dealing with this group of people, Lin Langtian's gaze immediately turned to the Black Rune at the center of the Black Altar with a burning intensity.

Even Spirit Aunt couldn't help but exclaim, "So this is the Devouring Ancestral Symbol that's been famous throughout this continent for so long! It's truly extraordinary. Even in the Great Thousand World, it would surely attract some powerful figures to fight over it..."

Seeing that the Devouring Ancestral Symbol had actually gained the recognition of Spirit Aunt, a powerful figure from the Great Thousand World, Lin Langtian smiled and nodded. Then, he leaped up and excitedly grasped the Black Rune in his palm.

Then, beams of light shot out from the runes, intertwining to form a black ball of light that appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Langtian.

A black ball of light floated silently, with countless black veins running through it.

At this moment, Lin Langtian focused his gaze and could see that deep within the black light cluster, an ancient rune, like a black hole, was quietly suspended, like a sleeping dragon.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian's face lit up with joy. Just as he was about to sink his mind into the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to subdue it, an ancient sigh suddenly rang out, followed by the sound of a peep.

"Alas, young friend, the master awaited by the Devouring Ancestral Symbol is not you..."
