War Ignites
Upon hearing that Lin Langtian had a conflict with the Tianxuan Heavenly Profound Sect, the leading sect in the Western Xuan Region, Xue Wan's delicate face immediately froze.
Originally, she planned to use her beauty to win over this newly rising prodigy from the Eastern Xuan Region to her side, making him her henchman and bodyguard.
Xue Wan was initially quite confident about this, after all, she had heard some rumors about Lin Langtian and Ling Qingzhu when she was in the Abyssal Demon City, which made her mistakenly believe that Lin Langtian was a womanizer.
While her beauty was slightly inferior to that of Ling Qingzhu, Xue Wan believed that she was not much different.
To her surprise, Lin Langtian not only treated her coldly, but also had a big problem of his own.
The Heavenly Profound Sect is a force even more powerful than the Yuan Sect. To provoke this sect is tantamount to courting death.
Thinking of this, Xue Wan regretted getting up so early instead of waiting a while to see the situation first, so as not to end up in such an embarrassing situation.
"Miss Xue Wan, have you thought it through? If your sect is willing to join forces with my Fire Division to resist the Heavenly Profound Sect, I will be eternally grateful. In the future, in the Abyssal Demon Domain, our two families will share life and death." Lin Langtian said with a playful smile.
After being tricked by Lin Langtian, Xue Wan's delicate face turned pale and then red. She took a deep breath and apologized to Lin Langtian, "I'm sorry, Young Master Langtian. It turns out that there are still matters to be dealt with between the Fire Division and the Heavenly Profound Sect. Then Xue Wan will not get involved."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Wan fled the scene as if she were running away, afraid of being implicated.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but sneer. They didn't even have this much sincerity, yet they wanted to form an alliance with the Fire Division. They were truly shameless.
"Senior Brother, they're here!" Song Yun said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian shifted his gaze, then looked up at the group of people from the Heavenly Profound Sect, who approached from afar and finally arrived not far in front of them under the convergence of many eyes.
Before the many disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect, a man in black slowly walked out, a sharp and chilling aura emanating from his body.
This person was none other than Cao Yu, who had fought a fierce battle with Lin Langtian on Hundred Dynasties Mountain. At this moment, his aura was quite strong, and he was actually a peak expert of the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage.
"Lin Langtian, it's been a long time."
Cao Yu stepped out and then smiled slightly at Lin Langtian, as if greeting a long-lost friend. However, there was no trace of friendliness in that smile.
"What is it?" Lin Langtian asked casually, his expression indifferent.
"Of course something happened. More than a year ago, you single-handedly caused the major sects of my Western Xuan Region to fail in their plan to seize the Ancient Battlefield. This has brought a lot of controversy to my Heavenly Profound Sect."
"Normally you hide within the Yuan Sect and we can't do anything to you, but now that you've come to our territory on your own initiative, it's time to settle this score with you." Cao Yu looked at Lin Langtian, a cold glint in his eyes.
As the leading sect in the Western Xuan Region and the mastermind behind the plot to seize the Ancient Battlefield in the Eastern Xuan Region, the Heavenly Profound Sect had planned everything perfectly. However, due to Lin Langtian, the plan failed, and the enormous manpower and resources expended were wasted.
It can be said that the Heavenly Profound Sect, as the mastermind, undoubtedly took the biggest blame. If the Heavenly Profound Sect hadn't been so powerful, it would have been torn apart by the other sects involved in the plan.
Even so, Heavenly Profound Sect secretly lost a lot of money. After all, no matter how powerful Heavenly Profound Sect was, it was impossible for it to offend all the major sects that were not much different in size from itself at the same time.
In addition, Cao Yu, as one of the key figures in the plan, also suffered a lot of punishment after the mission failed. If it weren't for his friendship with his Senior Brother Xuan Tian, he would probably have been expelled from the sect by now.
Therefore, when he saw Lin Langtian now, it was like enemies meeting, and he was extremely hostile.
"Considering you are disciples of the Yuan Sect, I can spare your lives. As long as you know what's good for you and leave here, I can let you go for now." With the Heavenly Profound Sect as his backing, Cao Yu said arrogantly.
What he wanted to do was humiliate Lin Langtian, and in front of all the major sects of the Eastern and Western Xuan Domains.
From then on, he wanted to ensure that Lin Langtian would never have the face to see anyone again.
Upon hearing Cao Yu's words, the expressions of the Fire Division disciples all darkened.
The Heavenly Profound Sect is far too arrogant. Without saying a word, they directly ordered his Fire Division to leave. I wonder to what extent this contempt has reached.
Seeing this, Song Yun and the others beside him were filled with rage, and if they hadn't been trying their best to suppress it, they probably would have already burst out.
"Oh, leaving this place..." However, amidst the gloomy expressions of the many disciples, Lin Langtian showed no anger on his face, but instead smiled faintly.
Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, Cao Yu nodded slightly, a cold smile appearing on his lips. It seemed that this guy was quite sensible, knowing the power of his Heavenly Profound Sect.
Some people are bold and daring when they have no burdens, but once they have status and position, they become too cautious and hesitant. Lin Langtian is such a person in his eyes.
At the same time, many people around who were watching this scene also looked at Lin Langtian with a mocking expression and a hint of disdain.
Most of them were from the Western Xuan Region, so they didn't know much about Lin Langtian and already regarded him as a coward and a weakling.
Only Ling Qingzhu and Su Rou knew that Lin Langtian was not someone who would be easily subdued, and besides, Heavenly Profound Sect did not have the qualifications to make Lin Langtian submit.
"But..."
However, just when Cao Yu thought the Fire Division disciples would know what was good for them, Lin Langtian's tone suddenly changed, and the smile on his face instantly turned into a cold look.
"But in my opinion, Cao Yu, you're nothing but a pile of shit. I'm disgusted just by being near you, so please get lost!"
Lin Langtian's chilling voice was not deliberately concealed. When it spread, it not only froze the smile on Cao Yu's face, but also caused a stir among those around him.
"Boy, don't pay a price you can't afford just for a moment of verbal sparring!" Cao Yu's expression darkened at this moment, likely angered by Lin Langtian's mockery.
"With your kind of trash, you're not qualified to swagger in front of my Fire Division!" Lin Langtian's eyes were icy cold, as sharp as a blade.
"Roll!"
"How dare you!"
Cao Yu was enraged by Lin Langtian's words. He suddenly took a step forward, and his vast Yuan Power swept out, enveloping Lin Langtian.
Upon seeing this, Lin Langtian's eyes turned cold, but he made no defensive move. With a thought, a demonic aura suddenly burst forth from among the Fire Division disciples behind him.
The demonic energy moved with extreme speed, appearing before Cao Yu almost in the blink of an eye.
"Court death!"
Cao Yu sneered at the sudden attack. Apart from Lin Langtian, he had never taken the rest of the Fire Division seriously.
Cao Yu unleashed his immense Yuan Power, his powerful palm strike sweeping mercilessly towards the demonic figure.
Faced with Cao Yu's fierce attack, a pair of withered hands emerged from beneath the demonic energy, directly colliding with Cao Yu's palm wind.
Bang!
As their palms collided, the cold smile on Cao Yu's face suddenly froze, followed by a flush of red, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Cao Yu was thrown backward in a disheveled manner, leaving a long trail on the ground with cracks spreading along its edges.
The previously noisy scene fell silent for a moment because of this, and then a low murmur spread out as all eyes were fixed on the demonic figure.
To send a peak-level expert of the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage flying with a single palm strike is something even the most outstanding disciples of other sects would find difficult to accomplish.
All eyes were fixed on the demonic figure, and then they saw that cold, black face.
His face had a pair of bloodthirsty crimson eyes, and combined with the terrifying demonic aura around him, he seemed like a killing machine, ruthless and cruel.
"Who is this person? He's neither human nor ghost, he's so strange!"
"Oh, so Lin Langtian actually has such a capable subordinate?"
"He knocked Cao Yu back with one punch. This guy's strength is probably already at the Half-Step Life Profound Stage, right?"
"..."
A chorus of gasps quickly spread through the air as many people stared at the Demon Shadow with shocked and curious expressions.
"Does Lin Langtian have such a powerful general under his command?"
Xue Wan, who had stepped back earlier, stared at this scene with a stunned expression. She had originally thought that only Lin Langtian's strength was worthy of being mentioned in the Fire Division, but she did not expect that there was another Half-Step Life Profound Stage expert.
No wonder Lin Langtian dared to compete with the Little Yuan King. It turns out that not only is he himself powerful, but his forces are also not as simple as they seem on the surface.
"It's the Demon Shadow!"
At the location of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, Su Rou said in surprise that she had met this personal guard who often followed Lin Langtian several times.
"Get out, or you'll die."
Amidst the uproar, Lin Langtian slightly raised his head, his eyes indifferent as he looked at the panicked Cao Yu and the disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect, and said softly.
That Heavenly Profound Sect stared in horror at Cao Yu, who had been seriously injured in a single encounter. After a moment, they dared not linger any longer, hurriedly helped him up, and quickly retreated in a disheveled state.
Looking at the disheveled and disheveled Heavenly Profound Sect troops, the area fell silent once again. The development of this matter was truly unexpected.
"Trash should stay in the trash heap and not go looking for trouble!"
In the quiet atmosphere, Lin Langtian slowly raised his head, his gaze locking onto the area where the main force of the Heavenly Profound Sect was located, and his cold voice echoed.
His words caused a stir among the Heavenly Profound Sect disciples in the distance, with many eyes flashing with murderous intent.
If it had only been humiliating Cao Yu earlier, that would have been one thing, since Cao Yu was the one who started the trouble. But now Lin Langtian was practically insulting his Heavenly Profound Sect by name. How could he tolerate that?
"Bang!"
The commotion continued for a while. Near the front of the Heavenly Profound Sect, three imposing figures, exuding overwhelming killing intent, slowly stood up and turned around with sinister expressions.
"It's Jing Sha, Ying Li, and Nalan, the Three Great Generals of the Heavenly Profound Sect. All three of them are Half-Step Life Profound Stage experts. I didn't expect to alarm them."
"That Lin Langtian is truly ignorant of his own limitations. Does he really think he's invincible just because he defeated Cao Yu? As far as I know, Cao Yu isn't even in the top ten among the younger generation of the Heavenly Profound Sect. This guy has completely angered the Heavenly Profound Sect just to have a good talk."
"Haha, this is going to be a good show. I heard that Lin Langtian is very famous among the younger generation in the Eastern Xuan Region. If he suffers a setback at the hands of the Heavenly Profound Sect, then the Yuan Sect and even the entire Eastern Xuan Region will be unable to hold their heads up in front of our Western Xuan Region."
Whispers arose all around. Not to mention the major sects of the Western Xuan Region, even some sects in the Eastern Xuan Region were extremely pessimistic about Lin Langtian's actions in angering Heavenly Profound Sect Tianxuan Sect. They all moved away from the location of the Fire Division, fearing that the flames of war would reach them.
"You're asking for it! Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish right here. You ungrateful wretches!"
Among the three, a burly man with muscles like a coiled dragon and shark tattoos on his body snarled at Lin Langtian.
He is Jing Sha, one of the Three Great Generals of the Heavenly Profound Sect, with the strength of Half-Step Life Profound Stage, enough to make him stand out from the crowd.
As his voice fell, the other two figures beside him also stared coldly at Lin Langtian, their eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
"If your Yuan Sect's Three Young Kings and Eight Divisions were all gathered together, they might pose a threat to my Heavenly Profound Sect. But to be so arrogant with just one force is truly courting death!"
Dressed in a magnificent black robe, Ying Fan stared at Lin Langtian and the slender Fire Division disciples behind him, and gave a cold smile.
"Enough talk, let's get started."
The last man named Nalan's eyes turned cold, and he waved his hand impatiently. The next moment, the Three Great Generals, like three meteors falling from the sky, rushed towards Lin Langtian with an extremely fierce attack!
Seeing this, Lin Langtian smiled coldly, then waved his sleeve, and four black lights suddenly shot out. The black lights were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared in front of Nalan and the other two.
"Court death!"
Upon seeing this sudden attack, Nalan and his two companions let out a cold laugh. Then, they unleashed their formidable strength Half-Step Life Profound Stage, their powerful energy sweeping towards the four figures of black light without any hesitation.
Faced with the three men's fierce attacks, four pairs of withered hands emerged from beneath the four beams of black light, directly clashing with the three men.
Bang!
A violent collision rang out, and in the next instant, the cold smiles on the faces of the three Nalan froze. Then, they retreated rapidly, taking dozens of steps before finally regaining their footing.
Upon seeing this, the room, which had been filled with sneers, fell into a deathly silence, followed by a wave of shocked uproar.
All eyes were fixed on the four figures of black light. Who were they that could withstand the combined attack of the Three Great Generals of the Heavenly Profound Sect?
While everyone was puzzled, they then saw the withered face under the black light. The next moment, a series of shocked voices quickly rang out.
"That's Demon Corpse!?"
