Affections and Subjugation

Looking at the beautiful woman who emerged from the shadows of the jungle, Lin Langtian was also taken aback, and then raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Dao Sect, Ying Xiaoxiao..."

At the same time, Ying Xiaoxiao stared at Lin Langtian in front of her, a complex expression on her delicate face. After a long while, she slowly said, "I didn't expect that we would face each other so soon."

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian showed an ambiguous expression, but then he understood the other party's intentions and said calmly.

"You've come to save that Wang Yan, haven't you? But you should also know that with your strength, you can't stop me."

Upon hearing Lin Langtian, who was the most outstanding Senior Sister of the younger generation of the Dao Sect and Ying Xiaoxiao extremely proud in the eyes of her many junior brothers and sisters, surprisingly did not refute him.

After all, back in the Blood Rock Land, Ying Xiaoxiao knew of Lin Langtian's incredibly powerful strength.

Lin Langtian has not only been promoted to Fire Division Spirit General, but has also decisively defeated Wang Yan, who is ranked second on the Sect Wanted List. It is likely that his reputation will soon spread throughout the entire Eastern Xuan Region.

Even so, Ying Xiaoxiao still gripped her three-foot -Azure Edge Sword tightly, looked at Lin Langtian, took a deep breath, her chest heaving, and then bit her red lips, her gaze complex yet firm.

"Regardless of whether I am your opponent or not, Senior Brother Wang Yan is a disciple of my Dao Sect, and I will never allow you to kill Wang Yan."

Seeing Ying Xiaoxiao's fearless expression, Lin Langtian was taken aback, and then couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh.

It must be said that although Dao Sect is not as strong as Yuan Sect, it is the strongest among the Eight Great Super Sects in terms of sect cohesion, otherwise Lin Dong would not have felt a strong sense of identification with it.

Upon seeing Ying Xiaoxiao appear, Lin Langtian abandoned his plan to pursue Wang Yan, since he had never intended to offend the Dao Sect to the death.

However, although he had already made up his mind, Lin Langtian did not tell Ying Xiaoxiao his thoughts. Instead, he looked at her and said...

"Wang Yan is your senior brother, but I am also your savior. Are you going to lay a hand on your savior for the sake of your senior brother?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a moment, then sighed softly and looked directly at Lin Langtian with her clear eyes.

"I will always remember your life-saving Xiaoxiao. However, protecting Senior Brother Wang Yan is also my duty. I'm Xiaoxiao I can't do both. In the future, even if it costs me my life, I will repay your kindness."

"As for gratitude... I am a disciple of the Yuan Sect, while you are a disciple of the Dao Sect. Our two families are irreconcilable enemies, so just forget about the past." Hearing Ying Xiaoxiao's words, Lin Langtian shook his head lightly.

He saved Ying Xiaoxiao out of respect for Lin Dong, since, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ying Xiaoxiao would be the older sister of Lin Dong's future wife.

Therefore, when Lin Langtian rescued Ying Xiaoxiao, he didn't think too much about it, so he didn't care about repaying favors.

However, after hearing what Lin Langtian said, Ying Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth slightly, looked at Lin Langtian with her clear eyes, and said with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

"What, do you think you, a dignified Spirit General of the Yuan Sect, look down on me?"

She, the revered Senior Sister of the Dao Sect with tens of thousands of disciples, had just offered her life in return, only Ying Xiaoxiao be lightly rejected by Lin Langtian. Ying Xiaoxiao's pride was evident as she felt a surge of shame and annoyance at being ignored.

Ying Xiaoxiao's sudden outburst surprised Lin Langtian. He couldn't understand why the woman's mood changed so quickly; had she suddenly started her period?

He shook his head, then said calmly, "If I were willing right now, not only Wang Yan, but even you would be unable to leave the Blood Rock Land alive. So, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this and seeing Lin Langtian's expressionless face, Ying Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, and her full chest immediately heaved. Then she whispered.

"You saved my life in the first place. If you want to take it back, then do it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ying Xiaoxiao gave Lin Langtian a deep look, then closed her eyes, appearing completely submissive.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian was also taken aback, then narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Oh, you said it yourself, then don't blame me for being impolite."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Langtian brought two fingers of his right hand together, and a powerful surge of Yuan energy flowed into his fingertips. A sharp aura, like a domineering Sword Qi, emanated from Lin Langtian's fingertips.

Whoosh!

Lin Langtian flicked his right hand, and a sharp sword light shot out from his fingertips, then whistled past Ying Xiaoxiao's ear, shaving off a strand of her hair.

Ying Xiaoxiao's clear eyes remained tightly closed.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow slightly, then his figure shot out, snatched the three-foot-long green sword from Ying Xiaoxiao's hand, and then, holding the Green Longsword, directly thrust it towards Ying Xiaoxiao's throat with Chang Ling aura.

Despite sensing Lin Langtian's actions and his fierce offensive, Ying Xiaoxiao remained motionless, like a lamb to the slaughter.

Seeing this scene, Lin Langtian's eyes also changed. She looked at Ying Xiaoxiao's beautiful face and delicate eyebrows, and shook her head slightly.

Laugh!

Just as the sword's edge was about to Ying Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao's throat, Lin Langtian snorted coldly, then his sword momentum suddenly slowed down, and then, at an extremely strange angle, the three-foot-long blade returned to the Ying Xiaoxiao's hand.

Having done all this, Lin Langtian had no interest in staying any longer. With a thought, the Crimson Sparrow Bone Wings immediately appeared on his back, and with a flap of his wings, he flew away into the distance.

Before leaving, Lin Langtian, "Don't do such foolish things again. Your life is your own, remember to cherish it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Langtian's figure vanished without a trace.

When Ying Xiaoxiao opened her eyes again, Lin Langtian was nowhere to be seen. Only the lingering warmth on the sword hilt proved that Lin Langtian had been there.

"He saved my life again."

Ying Xiaoxiao stretched out her soft hand to stroke the Green Longsword in her hand, feeling the warmth on it and Lin Langtian's aura. Her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly, and then she murmured.

As the daughter of the Dao Sect 'Sect Master and the revered Senior Sister of tens of thousands of the Dao Sect disciples, Ying Xiaoxiao had long ago entrusted herself to the Dao Sect, willing to die protecting any Dao Sect disciple.

Therefore, even though Wang Yan had repeatedly violated the clan rules, Ying Xiaoxiao would not ignore him and would stand alone to stop Lin Langtian.

However, for some reason, Ying Xiaoxiao a vague feeling that Lin Langtian, who had once saved her life, would not harm her.

Although this feeling was too vague and ethereal, and Lin Langtian was Spirit General of the Yuan Sect, their mortal enemy, Ying Xiaoxiao was extremely confident in this feeling.

Even though she was already certain that Lin Langtian wouldn't kill her, when Lin Langtian withdrew his sword, Ying Xiaoxiao's heartstrings were still tugged a few times. A warm current surged through her heart, and a feeling she had never experienced before slowly took root and sprouted in her heart...

After a long pause, Ying Xiaoxiao sheathed her three-foot-long sword, looked in the direction Lin Langtian had left, and couldn't help but sigh again, "If only he weren't a disciple of the Yuan Sect..."

Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.

At another location, after leaving Ying Xiaoxiao, Lin Langtian also hurried towards his lodging at the Yuan Sect of Black Rock City.

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

When Lin Langtian returned, Song Yun and the others had already gathered there. They looked at Lin Langtian with great excitement and respect, their eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

If they were only in awe of Lin Langtian's strength and status before, after Lin Langtian defeated Wang Yan, every disciple of the Fire Division present felt respect for him. Even Song Yun Lin Langtian Pang Lie, who were veteran Personal Disciple Grand Disciple, were no exception.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian showed no change in expression on his face, but he smiled slightly to himself.

As expected, the Yuan Sect and the Dao Sect, these two sworn enemies, are the best targets for each other to boost their battle achievements and prestige.

Lin Dong only relied on special means to defeat the Yuan Sect steward Yao Ling, who was ranked fourth on the Sect Wanted List. Immediately, Yao Ling became a great hero of the Dao Sect and an idol and role model for the younger generation.

Lin Langtian nearly killed Wang Yan, a disciple of the Dao Sect Heavenly Hall and ranked second on the wanted list. He was also showered with glory and his prestige soared, completely erasing the weakness of the new disciples' lack of prestige.

"By the way, Senior Brother, we haven't been able to find Wang Yan's whereabouts. Do you know if you can kill Wang Yan?" At this moment, Su Qi looked at Lin Langtian.

As he finished speaking, all the Fire Division disciples present stared intently at Lin Langtian.

From the perspective of the Dao Sect, Wang Yan is a pitiful person who seeks revenge for his sister, and he is worthy of respect.

From the perspective of the Yuan Sect, however, Wang Yan is a ruthless demon who has killed countless Yuan Sect disciples over the years. If not a thousand, then at least several hundred.

Whether the Yuan Sect disciples killed by Wang Yan were innocent or not is another matter. They also had their own brothers, sisters, senior brothers, and junior brothers in the sect. Therefore, in the hearts of the Yuan Sect disciples, Wang Yan was a cold-blooded and ruthless demon.

Lin Langtian shook his head at their expectant looks and said half-jokingly, "Wang Yan was on the verge of death, but the Dao Sect people to rescue him at the critical moment, so he escaped with his life."

Upon hearing that Wang Yan was not dead, the Fire Division disciples present all showed a look of disappointment. However, Song Yun was quite observant and quickly chuckled.

"Hehe, it's already extremely impressive that Senior Brother Lin was able to defeat the infamous Wang Yan. This is something that many of the stewards of my Yuan Sect cannot do."

As for Wang Yan escaping unscathed, that's nothing. He's suffered such a severe injury that he'll probably never dare come to Blood Rock Land again. Senior Brother Lin has rendered a great service to our Yuan Sect!"

Upon hearing Song Yun's words, the atmosphere in the room became lively again, and everyone chimed in.

"Yes, that murderous fiend Wang Yan was defeated by our Senior Brother in this battle. Let's see how arrogant he will be in the future!"

"I heard that Wang Yan is extremely senior in the Dao Sect, comparable to the Dao Sect Senior Sister Ying Xiaoxiao. He suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Senior Brother. In the future, the Dao Sect will no longer have the face to act presumptuously in front of my Yuan Sect."

"Haha, all of this is thanks to Senior Brother's awesomeness!"

Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Lin Langtian smiled slightly and did not interrupt them. He knew that these Fire Division disciples had truly accepted him as their Senior Brother.

After a while, when the talking gradually subsided, Lin Langtian coughed lightly and then smiled.

"This mission is not just my achievement; my fellow disciples also contributed."

At this point, Lin Langtian looked at Song Yun, Pang Lie, and Su Qi, and chuckled, "Do you still remember what I promised you before the mission started?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yun and the other two exchanged glances, then said in unison, "We remember."

As soon as the three finished speaking, Lin Langtian slowly extended his palm, and the next moment, three balls of violent crimson flames suddenly emerged.

The crimson flames rolled and churned, vaguely gathering into the shape of Vermilion Bird. Waves of incinerating power surged out from the Vermilion Bird's crimson flames.

"These are the Sub-Flame of the Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Flame. As a reward, they belong to you from now on." Lin Langtian smiled slightly, then waved his sleeve, and three balls of raging crimson flame landed in front of Song Yun and the other two.

Before the mission began, in order to capture Wang Yan, Su Qi proposed using Song Yun and Pang Lie as bait to lure Wang Yan out.

Lin Langtian had promised the three of them beforehand that if the mission was completed smoothly, Su Qi, who gave the idea, as well as Song Yun and Pang Lie, who were used as bait, would receive the rewards they deserved.

Although they had not yet killed Wang Yan, they had severely injured him, which was considered a successful mission. Therefore, after careful consideration, Lin Langtian chose the Sub-Flame of the Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Flame as a reward for the three of them.

The so-called Sub-Flame is a flame that is differentiated from the primordial fire. This Sub-Flame can possess some of the abilities of the primordial fire, but its power is much weaker. In a sense, it can be considered a clone of the Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Flame.

Lin Langtian's reward Song Yun the three Sub-Flame was not only a promise, but also partly due to his own ulterior motives.

It should be understood that although the Sub-Flame possesses some characteristics of the Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Flame, as a Sub-Flame, it must be firmly controlled by the Origin Fire.

In other words, once Song Yun and the other two refine the Sub-Flame, their lives will be in Lin Langtian's hands.

As the Personal Disciple Grand Disciple, Song Yun and Pang Lie possessed considerable strength and status within the Fire Division.

Su Qi is also at the Eight Yuan Nirvana Stage. After completing his mission of guarding the Blood Rock Land, he can be promoted to the Personal Disciple Grand Disciple upon returning.

With the bestowal of three Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Flame Sub-Flame, Lin Langtian essentially subdued three Personal Disciple Grand Disciple of the Fire Division. Combined with his former subordinates from the Yan Alliance, such as Mo Tie, he could be said to have established a foundation of his own within the Fire Division.

Song Yun and the other two had also heard of the Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Flame's reputation. When they saw Lin Langtian gifting them Sub-Flame of the Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Flame, they were all stunned for a moment. After a quick reaction, they happily accepted the Sub-Flame and excitedly addressed Lin Langtian.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Senior Brother Senior Brother! We will follow you to the death from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian smiled slightly. With Sub-Flame, a ticking time bomb under his control, he wasn't worried about the three of them betraying him.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Langtian noticed the Fire Division disciples behind Song Yun and the other two looking on with envy. As if he had thought of something, he chuckled.

"Don't worry, everyone will receive one. Each person who participates in this mission will be rewarded with a Tribulation Crossing Pill."

Upon hearing this, the dozens of Fire Division disciples present were stunned for a moment, then all showed joy and looked at Lin Langtian, shouting in unison from the bottom of their hearts.

"Long live the Senior Brother!"
