Death Spirit General
The Ancient Battlefield, near the core area.
Night descended from the sky, its somber color enveloping heaven and earth.
In a mountain range some distance from Myriad Manifestations City, a campfire flickered.
Two figures sat quietly cross-legged beside the campfire, their faces calm, showing no sign of panic despite the sudden, intermittent roars of monsters echoing in the darkness.
These two figures were naturally Lin Langtian and his companion, who had been traveling non-stop from the Northwest Region to Myriad Manifestations City.
Because the Northwest Region is quite far from Myriad Manifestations City, and because of the incident involving the inheritance of the Wood Emperor Sect, it took Lin Langtian and Jin Wu nearly four or five days to arrive here, even though they used their speed to the maximum.
"At our pace, we should be able to reach our destination in a couple of days," Lin Langtian said with a smile, stretching by the campfire.
After acquiring the Wood Emperor Triple Scripture, Lin Langtian became increasingly interested in the inheritance from the Old Man Yi Mo.
He had a vague feeling that while the Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Flame and the Wood Emperor Triple Scripture could bring him considerable improvement, only the inheritance of the Old Man Yi Mo could bring about a qualitative change.
What changes will occur when I, having mastered the power of the Saint Race (the Outer Realm Evil Race), come into play?
Jin Wu nodded in agreement with what Lin Langtian said. In his heart, he would do his best to support whatever Lin Langtian wanted to do.
Ever since Lin Langtian asked him to call him elder brother, Jin Wu has regarded himself as Lin Langtian's most loyal brother.
As darkness fell, Jin Wu listened to Lin Langtian recount the upcoming journey while roasting a delicious rabbit in his hands. However, at a certain moment, his expression suddenly hardened, and his sharp gaze turned towards the northwest.
"What's wrong?" Noticing the change in Jin Wu's expression, Lin Langtian was also taken aback and then quickly asked.
"One of my clones suddenly disappeared," Jin Wu said with a solemn expression.
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's expression also tightened. Although the Jin Wu Clone did not have great strength, it would still require considerable strength to eliminate it without anyone noticing.
"Looks like we're being watched again," Lin Langtian said, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Since the other party is acting so suspiciously, they are most likely up to no good. It's just unknown which enemy they are: the Great Gan Dynasty, the Great Zhao Dynasty, or some other force.
"What's the approximate area?"
Lin Langtian said softly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. This feeling of being secretly watched was truly unpleasant.
"About eight miles to the northwest," Jin Wu said after sensing the spot where his Jin Wu Clone had last disappeared.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian smile, then suddenly grabbed out, and a burst of crimson flames shot out from his palm like lightning, then transformed into a crimson Fire Net, which suddenly enveloped the Void Space.
Sizzle!
The crimson Fire Net possessed extremely powerful burning force. As soon as it appeared, even the invisible air burst into bursts of white smoke, making people's hearts tremble.
Under the watchful eyes of Lin Langtian and his companion, the crimson Fire Net enveloped the Void Space. However, just as it was about to close, the Void Space finally distorted in Lin Langtian's fixed gaze.
A surprised exclamation rang out, followed by a burst of dazzling light that actually repelled the crimson Fire Net.
The Fire Net bounced off, and a slightly eerie black shadow appeared out of thin air.
The aura emanating from that eerie black shadow was quite strange, somewhat like murderous intent, but even more sinister and Death Qi, seemingly devoid of any vitality.
"It's truly astonishing that you were able to detect my presence." A strange black shadow hovered in the sky, its sinister eyes fixed on Lin Langtian in the dark light, speaking in a chilling tone.
"Who are you, sir? What are you doing following us?" Lin Langtian's surprise gradually subsided, and he spoke calmly.
Although this person is mysterious and strange, his strength is also extremely impressive. He is the strongest person Lin Langtian has encountered in the Ancient Battlefield. However, now that he is powerful, he is not afraid of him.
Jin Wu remained silent, his gaze fixed on the newcomer with extreme vigilance. His once handsome face instantly transformed into one of ferocity, and the Ice Fiend emanating from his body transformed him into an unparalleled beast in the blink of an eye.
"Heh, you are not worthy to know my true identity. However, before you die, you may call me the Death Spirit General!" The eerie black shadow smiled sinisterly, his tone filled with confidence.
"Oh, Death Spirit General?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was taken aback, then seemed to realize something, and his brows furrowed.
He never expected that he would be targeted by these guys from the Western Xuan Region.
Lin Langtian remembered that in the original timeline, the Western Xuan Region had planted many spies during the Hundred Dynasties War in order to seize this Ancient Battlefield from the Eastern Xuan Region. This Death Spirit General was one of them.
If it weren't for Little Vixen's protection in the original timeline, even Lin Dong would likely have fallen into the hands of these people.
However, Lin Langtian was puzzled because he had never provoked these guys, so why would they come looking for him?
"Death Spirit General, sir? You have nothing better to do than stalk me so furtively. Let me advise you: on the Ancient Battlefield, killing a person is as easy as crushing an ant..."
Although the specific reason was unknown, since the other party was from the Western Xuan Region, Lin Langtian had no scruples.
If necessary, he wouldn't hesitate to kill him.
He knew that the plan to seize the Ancient Battlefield was doomed to failure for the Western Xuan Region, and that in a decade or so, the entire Western Xuan Region would be invaded and become the stronghold of the Evil Demon.
"Do you really think that just because you defeated those two Super Dynasty, you're the best in this Ancient Battlefield?"
"To tell you the truth, the power behind me is beyond your imagination. If you know what's good for you, obediently hand over the two inheritances you possess," the eerie black figure known as the Death Spirit General sneered.
"Oh, so it's because of those two inheritances?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's expression also froze.
He never expected that the reason he was being targeted was because of the inheritance of the Vermilion Bird Palace and the Wood Emperor Sect. It seems that this guy is also extremely well-informed.
It's one thing to know about the Vermilion Bird inheritance, but he just got his hands on the Wood Emperor Sect inheritance, yet this person knows it all perfectly well.
"These two inheritances are a waste on someone from the Low-level Dynasty like you. Only I can bring out their full value," the Death Spirit General said sinisterly.
Originally, according to the plan of the higher-ups, these spies buried in the Ancient Battlefield were not allowed to make moves and expose their identities at will. But he accidentally discovered that Lin Langtian, a mere Low-level Dynasty, actually possessed the inheritance of two ancient sects.
This greatly stimulated the greed of the Death Spirit General. The value of the Ancient Sects's inheritance was immeasurable, and even he had never obtained it. Yet Lin Langtian possessed two of them, making them a veritable treasure trove that was hard not to be tempted by!
Even if he doesn't need these inheritances, it would be enough for him to rise to prominence if he were to give them to some important person in the future.
However, as the Death Spirit General fantasizing about his future path to ascension, Lin Langtian's next words made his face turn cold and even ferocious.
"Heh, a dead rat hiding its head and tail, trying to obtain my inheritance?"
