New Mission
Upon hearing Lin Langtian's assurance, Fen Cang gazed at him intently for a few moments before slowly nodding.
If Lin Langtian were an ordinary disciple, it would be fine, but now that he is Fire Division Spirit General, he holds an extraordinary position and serves as a role model for the Yuan Sect disciples, so naturally he must prioritize the interests of the sect.
Lin Dong has already begun to make a name for himself in the Dao Sect. With the talent he has shown, he may very well become a high-ranking member of the Dao Sect in the future.
The Yuan Sect and Dao Sect are irreconcilable enemies, having fought openly and covertly for hundreds of years, and have long since developed a deep-seated hatred for each other.
Therefore, Fen Cang did not want Lin Langtian to have any connection with Lin Dong. Such behavior was undoubtedly a betrayal of the Yuan Sect.
Lin Langtian was perfectly aware of Fen Cang's thoughts, and therefore agreed without hesitation.
After all, with their talents, neither he nor Lin Dong would be confined to the small Yuan Sect and Dao Sect sects. Their current feigned compliance was merely a temporary and cautious development.
Fen Cang nodded slightly at Lin Langtian's firm stance, without much doubt.
According to the intelligence gathered by the Yuan Sect, although Lin Langtian and Lin Dong both came from the Lin Clan of the Great Yan Dynasty, the former was a genius of the main family, while the latter came from an inconspicuous branch family. Their backgrounds were worlds apart, and they had no interaction with each other.
Moreover, Lin Langtian had crippled Lin Dong's father, so it's clear that the two had a very bad relationship.
What Fen Cang didn't know was that this information was too superficial and outdated. After his rebirth, Lin Langtian's first step was to repair his relationship with Lin Dong.
After the Great Yan Dynasty and the Ancient Battlefield were continuously repaired, the so-called hatred between Lin Langtian and Lin Dong had long since disappeared, and instead, a brotherly bond had been formed.
Fen Cang was naturally unaware of this, but he continued, "Lin Dong's defeat of Yao Ling greatly boosted the morale of the Dao Sect, but it also damaged the reputation of the Yuan Sect."
As the leading force in the Eastern Xuan Region, our Yuan Sect naturally cannot suffer such a loss in silence, especially since the culprit is that despicable Dao Sect.
Therefore, after much deliberation, I have decided to assign you a task that will not only turn the tide but also diminish the prestige of the Dao Sect.
Finally, Fen Cang Lin Langtian with his cloudy old eyes and said.
"Oh, a mission?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's expression froze. He quickly racked his brains, but without any clue, he asked in a deep voice, "I wonder what mission Uncle Fen has assigned me?"
In response to Lin Langtian's question, Fen Cang did not answer immediately, but instead mentioned someone. "Do you know Wang Yan?"
"Wang Yan?" Upon hearing this name, Lin Langtian frowned slightly, feeling that it was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place it for the moment.
Fen Cang didn't keep him in suspense any longer and said directly, "You haven't been with the Yuan Sect for long, so it's normal that you don't know much about some people in the Eastern Xuan Region."
This person is a disciple of the Dao Sect Heavenly Hall. At the same time, he also has another identity: he is ranked second on the Blood Rock Land Sect Wanted List.
"Second on the Sect Wanted List, Wang Yan." Upon hearing Fen Cang's introduction, Lin Langtian murmured, then a look of understanding appeared in his eyes, clearly recalling the man's background.
After all, Wang Yan was not some insignificant figure who appeared only briefly in the original work.
This person is a genius from the Dao Sect Heavenly Hall, with profound seniority within the Dao Sect. If we were to rank them by seniority, even Ying Xiaoxiao probably be inferior to him.
However, due to an unexpected turn of events, Wang Yan's sister was killed by the Yuan Sect. After this incident, Wang Yan's personality changed drastically, and his rationality was clouded by hatred. He even angrily cursed Ying Xuanzi, the sect Sect Master of the Dao Sect who was considering the overall situation.
It was fortunate that Ying Xuanzi was kind-hearted and tolerant; otherwise, such a disciple would probably have had his cultivation abolished and be expelled from any sect, even if he wasn't executed.
Unable to rely on the sect for revenge, Wang Yan simply went to the Blood Rock Land alone, killing Yuan Sect members everywhere to avenge his sister.
Because he killed too many people from the Yuan Sect, Wang Yan directly rose to second place on the Sect Wanted List, proving his strength should not be underestimated.
When Fen Cang mentioned Wang Yan, Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he vaguely guessed the task that the other party was going to give him.
Sure enough, after introducing Wang Yan, a cold glint flashed in Fen Cang old eyes, and he said in a deep voice.
"The reason why Wang Yan was able to be listed on the Sect Wanted List is because he attacked and killed many geniuses of the Yuan Sect, and even my Personal Disciple Grand Disciple of the Fire Division was killed by this person."
Our Yuan Sect has also sent people to hunt down Wang Yan, but the Dao Sect protects him very well, and Wang Yan is quite strong, so we have never succeeded.
The task I'm assigning you is to go to Blood Rock Land and defeat or even kill this Wang Yan.
Since Lin Dong defeated Yao Ling, who was ranked fourth on the Sect Wanted List, then my Yuan Sect will retaliate in kind by killing Wang Yan was ranked second on the Sect Wanted List.
This act not only enhances the prestige of my Yuan Sect, but also kills a prodigy from the Dao Sect. Even if the three Sect Leader knew of it, they would surely praise you greatly.
Finally, Fen Cang patted Lin Langtian on the shoulder and smiled.
Upon hearing Fen Cang's words, Lin Langtian couldn't help but curse inwardly. This old guy really was plotting this.
Killing Wang Yan would not only enhance the prestige of the Yuan Sect, but also serve as a pledge of loyalty to the Yuan Sect for Lin Langtian, truly killing two birds with one stone.
However, Lin Langtian could not refute this at the moment, since as a Fire Division Spirit General, it was his duty to kill people from the Dao Sect, at least on the surface.
"Since it was Master Fen who instructed me, then this disciple will head to Blood Rock Land to kill that Dao Sect Wang Yan!" Lin Langtian said indignantly.
"Hehe, no rush. You just had a fierce battle with Ling Chi, so take a break for now. I'll arrange for you to leave the sect in a couple of days," Fen Cang said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly, but his mind was racing with thoughts.
Should we kill Wang Yan or not?
Two days later.
On a giant peak in the northern part of the Yuan Domain, Lin Langtian slowly descended, and at the same time, two figures quickly arrived.
"Senior Brother!"
As a shout rang out, Lin Langtian turned his gaze and saw two slightly familiar people, namely Song Yun and Pang Yan, who were also his Personal Disciple Grand Disciple.
"Oh, it's you two. What brings you here?" Lin Langtian asked in surprise upon seeing Song Yun and Pang Yan.
"Hehe, it was all arranged by Senior Brother Fen. Although you are very strong, you have only recently joined the sect and are not very familiar with the Eastern Xuan Region. Therefore, Uncle Fen arranged for the two of us to set off with you so that we can look after each other on the way," Song Yun said with a smile.
Lin Langtian, as Fire Division Spirit General, holds an extraordinary position. Even Song Yun, a senior member of the Fire Division, did not put on any airs at this moment, and even showed some humility.
Although Pang Yan was not as enthusiastic as Song Yun, he still said in a proper manner, "Before we left, Uncle Fen specifically instructed that Senior Brother Lin would be in charge of this trip, and we will all follow your orders."
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly. It was perfect timing, as he wasn't familiar with the Blood Rock Land and having two guides was quite helpful.
"In that case, let's set off."
As Lin Langtian finished speaking, Song Yun quickly nodded and chuckled, "My Fire Division Crimson Flame Fierce Peng is an excellent mount. Please wait a moment, Senior Brother."
After saying that, Song Yun put his index finger and thumb into his mouth, then blew hard, and a crisp, piercing sound quickly spread across the sky.
Hiss!
Shortly after the sound wave spread, a clear cry came from a lush, towering mountain not far away, and then a crimson roc spread its wings and flew towards the platform with a gust of wind.
The crimson roc stopped in front of Lin Langtian and the others. The next moment, the three of them moved and leaped onto the crimson roc.
Wow!
After the three of them boarded the Crimson Roc, the Crimson Roc flapped its giant wings, creating a strong wind, and flew away like lightning.
Above the sky, the giant wings of the Crimson Roc flapped, and a gale suddenly rose, its speed truly possessing the feel of lightning.
Lin Langtian sat cross-legged on the broad back of the Crimson Roc, feeling a vague sense of familiarity, as it was somewhat similar to the Wood Division Azure Eagle he had ridden before.
On the Crimson Roc, Lin Langtian sat at the very front, while Song Yun and Pang Lie sat to his left and right, slightly behind him, clearly indicating that Lin Langtian Lin Langtian in charge.
Lin Langtian nodded in agreement.
It must be said that the Yuan Sect's system of elevating the capable and demoting the weak, where strength is paramount, does have some merit.
If this were in another sect, senior disciples like Song Yun and Pang Lie would likely feel resentful even if they were surpassed by a newcomer, and in severe cases, it could even lead to conflict.
However, within the Yuan Sect, Song Yun and Pang Lie showed no dissatisfaction with Lin Langtian's rise to power; in fact, they were quite respectful, clearly understanding that seniority and rank were of no use in the Yuan Sect.
After sensing Song Yun and Pang Lie's attitude, Lin Langtian also began to secretly consider winning them over.
After all, as the Personal Disciple Grand Disciple of the Fire Division, their strength ranks among the top in the entire Yuan Sect. Winning over these two is of great significance for Lin Langtian to win over the hearts of the entire Fire Division.
Therefore, Lin Langtian also talked with Song Yun and Pang Lie from time to time along the way, getting to know each other better.
As they traveled and chatted in their spare time, the relationship between Lin Langtian and Song Yun deepened considerably...
Blood Rock Land is quite a distance from the Yuan Sect. Even though the Crimson Roc's flying speed is not slow, this journey still took about eight days.
As the morning of the ninth day arrived, Lin Langtian, sitting atop the Crimson Roc, suddenly sensed something.
Raising my head and gazing into the distance, I saw that the once lush forest abruptly ended in a crimson hue that spread out as far as the eye could see.
That color, like earth corroded by blood, carried a faint, malevolent aura rising from the ground.
We've arrived at Blood Rock Land.
Song Yun breathed a sigh of relief, then continued, "Let's go to Black Rock City first. We have disciples from the Fire Division stationed there, and we'll need to gather information to find out where Wang Yan is."
Song Yun and his companion had learned about their mission from Fen Cang beforehand: to retaliate in kind and defeat or even kill Dao Sect Wang Yan!
Song Yun and his companion also had some doubts about this.
After all, Wang Yan was more senior than Ying Xiaoxiao in the Dao Sect, and his strength was arguably the best among the younger generation of the Dao Sect.
Even within the Yuan Sect, only the Three Young Kings could reliably defeat him. Even Eight Spirit Generals would struggle to defeat Wang Yan, let alone kill him.
However, since Fen Cang, as the leader, had personally given the order, Song Yun and the other two naturally could not and dared not refuse.
Song Yun and Pang Lie could only pray that Lin Langtian's strength would surpass that of Wang Yan. Otherwise, given Wang Yan's deep hatred for the Yuan Sect members, if they couldn't win, they might be killed by him instead.
Meanwhile, after arriving at Blood Rock Land, the flight only lasted half an hour before Lin Langtian saw an incredibly massive city, resembling a prehistoric behemoth, appear in his field of vision.
The city seemed to be cast from special black rock, exuding a deep and heavy aura. Within the city, one could vaguely see some tall buildings and the endless flow of people.
Clearly, in the Blood Rock Land, Black Rock City can be considered an important city.
Song Yun seemed familiar with this place. He merely glanced down before commanding the Crimson Roc to slow down. After circling briefly in the southwest of the city, it slowly landed.
They landed on a plaza, and shortly after Chi Peng landed, the sound of wind breaking came from not far away, and then more than a dozen figures flashed over. Judging from the badges on their chests, they were obviously disciples of the Yuan Sect.
The dozen or so men who had been abducted immediately lost their wariness upon seeing Song Yun and his companion, replaced by expressions of respect.
"Senior Brother Song! Senior Brother Pang!"
From the group of a dozen or so people, a squad leader-level figure stepped forward. This person looked at Song Yun and Pang Lie and said very respectfully.
"Oh, it's Su Qi's turn to be on duty today." Song Yun seemed to be familiar with this person, walked up and patted the man named Su Qi on the shoulder, and then greeted him.
"Um."
Su Qi nodded. Then, his gaze swept over and he suddenly noticed Lin Langtian behind Song Yun and the other person. As if he had thought of something, his expression hardened slightly. He then quickly stepped forward and spoke in a more respectful and solemn voice.
"Su Qi greets Senior Brother!"
As Su Qi finished speaking, the dozen or so Fire Division disciples beside him immediately reacted, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Lin Langtian, and they all respectfully said, "Greetings, Senior Brother!"
"Oh, you know me?"
Hearing what Su Qi and the others said, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity appearing in his eyes.
Even the Fire Division disciples in the Blood Rock Land knew so quickly that they had replaced Ling Chi and become the Fire Division Spirit General?
Upon hearing Lin Langtian's question, the man named Su Qi hurriedly replied respectfully, "Reporting to Senior Brother, three days ago we received a message from the department head, which stated that you defeated Senior Brother Ling Chi some time ago and became the new Spirit General of the Fire Division."
In addition, the department head also instructed us to fully cooperate with you, Senior Brother, to capture and kill Dao Sect Wang Yan!
