Return to the Tribunal Army

The Darkness Mountain Range are dotted with towering, sharp peaks that pierce the sky like swords, their unique aura seemingly penetrating even the heavens.

Black Shadow Peak is one of the mountains.

Inside Black Shadow Peak is the Black Shadow Training Ground, which is the garrison of the Third Battalion of the Seventh Regiment of the Tribunal Army.

Although Darkness City is the headquarters of the Darkness Hall, perhaps for the sake of secrecy or for training purposes, the Darkness Tribunal's Tribunal Army is not stationed in Darkness City, but rather in the Darkness Mountain Range, which are not far from Darkness City.

When Lin Langtian, led by Qing Tan, arrived outside the Black Shadow Training Ground, he saw the camp and watchtowers built of black rocks.

On the training ground, countless sounds of training and fighting rang out, and waves of murderous aura rose and gathered in the sky above the training ground, pouring out a torrent of killing intent.

"So turbulent, such concentrated malevolent energy."

Lin Langtian stared in surprise at the murderous aura that was constantly rolling Black Shadow Training Ground, almost solidifying into a tangible form.

This murderous aura alone would probably require the slaughter of tens of thousands of powerful enemies to form, and this is only First Battalion of the Tribunal Army. It is hard to imagine how many rebels have died at the hands of the Tribunal Army in the vast Northern Xuan Region.

"Since its establishment, the Tribunal Army has been fighting all the time. According to statistics, to date, a total of thirteen super powers have been destroyed by the Tribunal Army."

"These super powers are all led by experts at the Samsara Stage level. As for the other second- and third-rate powers, they are countless, like stars in the sky," Qing Tan said.

"Oh, you wiped out thirteen forces with members at the Samsara Stage?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed.

If this level were placed in the Eastern Xuan Region, it would probably be enough to qualify as a super power. After all, the Eight Great Super Sects only have one to three experts at the Samsara Stage Realm.

In other words, based on the Tribunal Army's record, they had almost wiped out Eight Great Super Sects of the Eastern Xuan Region and still had more to spare.

As expected, it is the most powerful department in the Darkness Hall, and the key to the Hall Master's Elder Council.

"Bro Langtian, the Third Battalion has assembled. Let's go," Qing Tan said, looking at Lin Langtian.

"Um."

Lin Langtian nodded slightly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the two of them transformed into streaks of light and instantly appeared on the Black Shadow Square.

Upon landing, Lin Langtian found himself standing on a platform. In front of him was a huge training ground, with banners fluttering in the howling wind.

Most importantly, on that training ground, there were many figures dressed in black and wearing Ghost Face Mask, standing silently and solemnly in a dark mass.

When Lin Langtian appeared, he could clearly feel that hundreds of gazes in the arena were all filled with murderous intent and were directed at him.

The weakest of these auras were at the Seven Yuan Nirvana Stage, most were at the Eight Yuan Nirvana Stage, and there were even dozens at the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage.

Such a display of force would likely have made those with weak minds tremble with fear, but Lin Langtian, after his initial surprise, quickly regained his composure, and the overwhelming sense of oppression seemed as gentle as a breeze.

A resilient mind is naturally undisturbed by external things.

At the same time, Lin Langtian was also sizing up First Battalion four hundred men in front of him.

The vast majority of these four hundred people were at the Eight Yuan Nirvana Stage, with some at the Seven Yuan Nirvana Stage and Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage. Their composition was somewhat similar to that of the core disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect who entered the Abyssal Demon Domain.

However, the astonishing killing intent emanating from the Tribunal Army was far beyond what those sect disciples could match; the difference between the two was like that between a naive college student and a seasoned veteran in society.

That's why Bo Xuan was so confident that any single battalion of the Tribunal Army could wipe out a second-rate sect.

After taking a complete look, Lin Langtian's attention remained mostly on the front, where five figures stood out and exuded an extraordinary aura.

Of the five, the most eye-catching was the burly man at the front. He was tall and had the most astonishing aura. His murderous aura was like a volcano about to erupt, ready to deliver a heavy blow to the enemy once it was unleashed.

Moreover, the long sword on the forehead of this person's Ghost Face Mask was not black, but a bloody red.

The Darkness Tribunal has an extremely large structure, with its main fighting force being the Tribunal Army Tribunal Army, which consists of ten regiments, each of which has ten battalions.

Within the Tribunal Army, order is highly valued, and a strict hierarchy exists, with ranks from top to bottom as Elder Level, Regiment Commander, Camp Commander, Flag Leader, Squad Leader, and ordinary members.

The Tribunal Army wore uniform black uniforms and Ghost Face Mask, the only difference being the long sword on the forehead of the Ghost Face Mask.

Elder Level wield golden longswords, Regiment Commander wield silver longswords, department leaders wield red longswords, Flag Leader wield purple longswords, Squad Leader wield Green Longsword, while ordinary members, like Lin Langtian and Qing Tan, wield black longswords.

Therefore, even disregarding the profound aura, Lin Langtian recognized the burly man solely from the red longsword on the Ghost Face Mask.

Zhong Kui is a Death Profound Stage Lesser Success and the Camp Commander of the Third Battalion of the Seventh Regiment.

Behind Zhong Kui were four people with profound auras. Judging from the purple longswords on their foreheads Ghost Face Mask they wore, they were the four Flag Leader of the Third Battalion, all of whom possessed the strength of the Life Profound Stage Perfection.

However, among the four, the one on the far left had an extremely slender figure. Even though she was dressed in black, it couldn't hide her tall stature and alluring sway, making her seem like a female Flag Leader.

"Lord Qing Tan."

As Lin Langtian was observing, Zhong Kui and his group of five hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully addressed Qing Tan, who was standing to the side.

As the personal disciples of the Hall Master, and also highly likely to become the Sixth Hall Master of the Darkness Hall in the future, Zhong Kui and the others naturally showed extreme respect.

Qing Tan nodded slightly, then her gaze swept across the entire room, and her calm yet slightly authoritative voice rang out.

"Gentlemen, you all know the purpose of my visit today, so I will not say any more. From today onwards, I, Lin Qingtan, am an ordinary member of the Tribunal Army. You only need to treat me as an ordinary soldier."

Hearing what Qing Tan said, the soldiers of the Third Battalion did not speak, but their eyes showed a hint of agreement when they looked at Qing Tan.

No matter where you are, those who can share weal and woe with the lower classes are obviously more likely to gain support. This is probably why Bo Xuan arranged for Qing Tan to start as an ordinary member of the Tribunal Army.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian nodded in satisfaction. It must be said that Qing Tan possesses the Fiend Demon Body and has outstanding talent. However, if one were to underestimate her intelligence and methods because of this, it would be a great underestimation of this future Hall Master of the Darkness Hall and the Alliance Leader of the Four Xuan Domain Alliance.

After speaking, Qing Tan looked at Zhong Kui again and said calmly, "Camp Chief Zhong, you know the rules of the Tribunal Army, so there's no need to give me special treatment. If I can't even withstand this trial, I won't have the face to face my Master."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Kui breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, when he learned that Qing Tan would place his Third Battalion Seventh Regiment there, Zhong Kui was worried for quite some time.

After all, this little devil was a problem to deal with, and it was also a problem not to ignore him, which really worried this straight man for quite some time.

However, now that Qing Tan had personally said that he would act in accordance with the rules of the Tribunal Army, he felt relieved and also began to approve of Qing Tan to some extent.

"Camp Chief Zhong, this is my brother, and also my personal Shadow Guard, Lin Langtian." At this moment, Qing Tan pointed to Lin Langtian beside her and said.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Kui and the other four also looked at Lin Langtian to the side, their eyes revealing a strange look.

They had heard about the great battle at the festival. To be able to defeat Mo Ming, who was at the peak of the Life Profound Stage Small Success Life Profound Stage Perfection, it has to be said that Lin Langtian's reputation as a genius is indeed well-known in the Northern Xuan Region.

"Lin Shadow Guard, I hope you can protect Lord Qing Tan well." After sizing him up, Zhong Kui looked at Lin Langtian and said solemnly.

The Tribunal Army was incredibly brutal, with constant fighting and suppression of rebellions, and danger lurking at every turn. Therefore, Zhong Kui was well aware of just how heavy the burden on Lin Langtian's shoulders was.

"Don't worry, Camp Chief Zhong, I will protect Qing Tan." Lin Langtian said calmly, but his voice was firm and unwavering.

"I believe Bro Langtian can do it, and I'm not some delicate flower in a greenhouse; I can protect myself," Qing Tan smiled and said.

"Camp Chief Zhong, which banner should Bro Langtian and I be assigned to?"

The First Battalion was divided into four banners, each banner had 100 men divided into three teams, and each team had more than 30 men.

"Let's go to Lan Yan's banner..." Zhong Kui hesitated for a moment, perhaps considering that they were both women, before pointing to the tall and graceful Flag Leader.

"Don't worry, Camp Commander, I will take good care of Lord Qing Tan." The Flag Leader named Lan Yan stepped forward slowly, bowed slightly, and then chuckled.

Surprisingly, in the instant he bent down, beneath the black collar, there was a breathtakingly white and smooth expanse, enough to make a man's gaze linger on it.

Although she was wearing a mask and black clothes, Lan Yan, the Flag Leader, was clearly an extremely beautiful woman, with her peach blossom eyes and snow-white skin.

However, Lin Langtian noticed that the moment Lan Yan bowed her head, the other three Flag Leader quietly withdrew their gazes, a hint of apprehension appearing in their eyes.

Clearly, this Flag Leader the Lan Yan was beautiful, but she was a rose with thorns.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could an ordinary woman survive in this cruel Tribunal Army, let alone become a Flag Leader?

Qing Tan, standing to the side, remained completely unfazed by Lan Yan's reaction. She gave a soft "hmm" and then said, "In that case, Bro Langtian and I will return to our team first. From now on, we will simply follow orders."

As soon as they finished speaking, Lin Langtian and Qing Tan rushed towards the area behind Lan Yan, then rejoined the group at the back, becoming ordinary members of the Tribunal Army.

Seeing Qing Tan and Lin Langtian join the team, Zhong Kui nodded. To him now, Lin Langtian and Qing Tan were just two ordinary members of the Tribunal Army, and there was no need to worry about anything else.

These are the rules of the Darkness Tribunal.

Immediately afterward, Zhong Kui leaped onto a high platform, his murderous gaze sweeping over the four hundred warriors before he spoke in a deep voice.

"Gentlemen, we, the Tribunal Army, are the law enforcement force of the Darkness Tribunal, the strongest fighting force of the Darkness Hall, and the sharpest sword in the hands of the Hall Master."

Now, in the Southern River Realm, the Fire Cloud Sect has killed the lord of my Darkness Hall branch and instigated a rebellion. What should we, the Tribunal Army, do?

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

As Zhong Kui finished speaking, his murderous words flowed out like a river, seemingly coalescing into a tangible aura that crushed all rebellion.

Meanwhile, on this Black Shadow Training Ground, war drums thundered, banners fluttered, and a chilling aura soared into the sky!

Within the group, Lin Langtian personally felt this overwhelming murderous aura, and his expression behind the Ghost Face Mask also slightly tightened.

Although he had killed many powerful enemies and even wiped out five hundred disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect, compared with this kind of battle and slaughter, the latter was obviously much more shocking.

And this was only First Battalion of troops. If a regiment or the entire Tribunal Army were to assemble, the scene would be truly magnificent.

Qing Tan's face paled slightly from the shock of the murderous aura, but she quickly suppressed it. At this moment, she had already made up her mind to become a true strong person, rather than a girl who was sheltered under the wings of Lin Langtian and Lin Dong.

"Good, as expected of warriors of our Tribunal Army!"

Seeing this scene filled with murderous intent, Zhong Kui on the high platform glanced at Lin Langtian and Qing Tan, who remained unmoved, and nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, a bloody smile appeared on Zhong Kui's lips, and the red longsword on his Ghost Face Mask seemed to be formed from a mountain of corpses Blood Sea, exuding a strong bloody aura.

"Now, location: Southern River Realm, objective: raze the Fire Cloud Sect to the ground, let's go!"

"Buzz!"

As soon as Zhong Kui finished speaking, his hand seals changed instantly, and powerful Yuan energy gathered in front of him. A moment later, it transformed into a huge array on the training ground below, with light flowing within the array.

The Darkness Hall had long ago constructed a spatial imprint in this Darkness Mountain Range, capable of activating teleportation at any time to send people from within to various parts of the Northern Xuan Region, thus facilitating the suppression of any rebellions that might erupt at any moment.

Otherwise, given the vastness of the Northern Xuan Region, even the mighty Tribunal Army, with only tens of thousands of soldiers, could not possibly reach every battlefield in time.

Lin Langtian gazed at the formed formation and couldn't help but let out a deep breath. He then exchanged a glance with Qing Tan. Were they finally about to begin their campaign to quell the rebellion?

"Let's go."

After a moment of reflection, Lin Langtian no longer hesitated. He followed the steps of the warriors in front of him and stepped into the formation.

Behind Lin Langtian, Qing Tan followed closely. Facing the unknown dangers of the battlefield, the two naturally had to stay together.

As the last person stepped into the formation, dazzling light began to surge. Lin Langtian raised his gaze, taking one last look at this space, and then a look of surprise appeared deep in his eyes...
