A New Mission
Boom boom boom!
When countless Wind Lightning Tribulation were silently moved a hundred miles away by Lin Langtian using the Space Ancestral Talisman, the commotion here inevitably attracted some attention.
"Bro Langtian, what's wrong with you...?"
Qing Tan was the first to arrive at the scene. She looked up at the dissipating Wind Lightning Tribulation in the sky, then looked at Lin Langtian and asked in surprise.
"Hehe, it's nothing, just a minor breakthrough in my Mental Power..." Lin Langtian smiled faintly and waved his hand.
"A breakthrough in Mental Power...?"
Qing Tan blinked and glanced at Lin Langtian curiously. For some reason, after only a few days apart, she noticed that Lin Langtian's aura had become much stronger.
"Then congratulations, Bro Langtian Bro Langtian! Your Mental Power must be second to none even in the Darkness Hall..." Qing Tan smiled and praised.
Cultivating Mental Power is more complex than cultivating elemental power. Even though she was Bo Xuan's prized disciple, she had never touched Mental Power. Moreover, even within the Darkness Hall, the number of Symbol Master was extremely small, and powerful Symbol Master were even rarer.
Lin Langtian is young, but he not only has a strong Yuan power cultivation, but also cultivates Mental Power. It is no exaggeration to call him a peerless genius.
"Hehe, Sister Qing Tan, you flatter me." Lin Langtian smiled modestly, then looked around and noticed the hurried Tribunal Guard. He asked curiously.
"What's wrong? Are we heading back to the court headquarters?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Tan shook her head, then said in a deep voice, "I came to inform Bro Langtian that Camp Chief Zhong just received a mission from headquarters, which concerns our Third Battalion Seventh Regiment."
"Oh, what kind of mission?" Lin Langtian was taken aback upon hearing this, and then asked.
"It is said that a rebellion has broken out in the Eastern Region. Our Seventh Regiment has been ordered to suppress it. The Regiment Commander has also ordered our Third Battalion to rush there immediately without delay," Qing Tan said solemnly.
"Oh, so the entire Seventh Regiment is being mobilized to suppress the rebellion..." Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow slightly, and then a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.
It should be noted that according to the system of the Tribunal Army, a regiment consists of five battalions, totaling two thousand people.
All of these people possessed strength above the Eight Yuan Nirvana Stage, and the strongest Regiment Commander was a powerful expert at the Death Profound Stage Perfection, only one step away from the Samsara Stage.
If such a force were placed in the Eastern Xuan Region, it would probably only be comparable to the Eight Great Super Sects and some established forces.
The fact that the entire Seventh Regiment is being mobilized indicates that the rebellion they are dealing with is likely quite significant, making the Fire Cloud Sect seem insignificant in comparison.
"Oh, right..." Qing Tan suddenly looked up at Lin Langtian, hesitatingly saying, "Bro Langtian, I have some bad news for you. Master originally wanted to use this opportunity to ask the Elder Council for the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill for you, but..."
"Could it be rejected?" Seeing Qing Tan's expression, Lin Langtian thought of a bad outcome, his face darkened slightly, and he asked.
"Hmm." Qing Tan nodded slightly, a look of guilt appearing on her pretty face. She said apologetically, "Originally, you had made great contributions, and with Master personally speaking up, even if the Elder Council disagreed in their hearts, they wouldn't openly oppose it."
Who could have imagined that the old monster, a fossil-like figure in the hall, would suddenly speak up? This person was a generation higher than Master in terms of seniority. He said, "Bro Langtian, your merits are too small; they are simply not enough to exchange for the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill." Therefore, the Elder Council rejected Master.
"This..." Lin Langtian frowned slightly and asked in surprise, "How does that old monster in your hall know me? Logically speaking, someone of his seniority shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the hall, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Tan's face showed even more shame, and she said in a low voice, "Indeed, as Bro Langtian said, that senior has not interfered in the affairs of the hall for many years. After all, the Darkness Hall is now in charge of my Master. If he were to interfere, it would be akin to taking advantage of his seniority."
However, the Mo Ming you defeated at the festival a while ago, Bro Langtian, was this very man's grand-disciple. Perhaps that's why he's set his sights on you, Bro Langtian. Come to think of it, it's all because of me."
"I see..."
Lin Langtian nodded in realization. He had been wondering why a mere Life Profound Stage like himself would be recognized by a Reincarnation Stage expert. It turned out it was because of Mo Ming.
With a wry smile, Lin Langtian shook his head and looked at Qing Tan in front of him, comforting her, "Alright, Qing Tan, this has nothing to do with you."
For Lin Langtian, even if he were given another chance, he would not hesitate to stand up for Qing Tan and teach Mo Ming a lesson.
However, since the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill cannot be obtained from the Darkness Hall for the time being, where should he seek a solution?
After all, reviving Zhou Tong is urgent and cannot be delayed any longer. Otherwise, how can they break away from the Yuan Sect and establish their own sect without a Samsara Stage expert by their side? Are they going to continue to feign compliance?
As Lin Langtian frowned in thought, Qing Tan spoke up again, "Actually... it's not entirely impossible for Bro Langtian to get the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill."
"Oh, what opportunity?" Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Bro Langtian, you know what rebellion happened in the Eastern Region that required the entire Seventh Regiment to be mobilized, but do you know the reason behind it?" Qing Tan did not answer Lin Langtian's question directly, but instead asked him in return.
"I don't know," Lin Langtian shook his head and said.
"The rebellious force in the Eastern Region is called the Yuwen Family. It is said that this family has a longer history than my Darkness Hall, and its power is second to none in the Eastern Region. The Clan Leader of the Yuwen Family Yuwen Hao, even has the strength of the Death Profound Stage Perfection."
Even within the entire Northern Xuan Region, this person enjoys considerable renown. During the sacrificial ceremony, Yuwen Hao stood in a very prominent position,"Qing Tan said.
"Oh, since this person participated in the grand festival not long ago, he should have even more reverence for the Darkness Hall. Why did he suddenly start a rebellion?" Lin Langtian asked in confusion.
The Darkness Hall has suppressed the Northern Xuan Region for thousands of years. For various reasons, there must have been various forms of dissent, which is why the Darkness Tribunal has been suppressing them everywhere.
But the Yuwen Family has survived for so many years, so they must have their own unique way of dealing with the world. Why would they suddenly rebel against the rule of the Darkness Hall? Could they have been blinded by greed?
"Because of the Stillness Divine Tablet," Qing Tan said in a deep voice.
"The Stillness Divine Tablet?" Lin Langtian was taken aback, then thought of the Mysterious Map he had obtained from the Talisman Tower of the Great Yan Dynasty, which recorded that the Stillness Divine Tablet was located in the Eastern Region of the Northern Xuan Region.
"Could it be that the Yuwen Family obtained the Stillness Divine Tablet?" Lin Langtian asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Hmm, for some reason, the Yuwen Family actually obtained the Stillness Divine Tablet without my Darkness Hall's knowledge. You should know that although this item is not as good as my Darkness Hall's sacred artifact, the Darkness Scythe, it is still ranked thirteenth on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking, and its power is great."
It is said that once the Stillness Divine Tablet is activated, it can completely freeze time and even space, and those trapped inside will be at the mercy of others, powerless to resist.
My Darkness Hall has been searching for this item for hundreds of years, but I never expected it to fall into the hands of the Yuwen Family. Of course, if the Yuwen Family is willing to offer it up, my Darkness Hall will definitely give them satisfactory compensation.
However, the Yuwen Family attempted to possess it all for themselves. If it weren't for Yuwen Hao's youngest son inadvertently leaking the news, my Darkness Hall would still be kept in the dark.
Such actions have offended the Darkness Hall, so my Master ordered the entire Seventh Regiment to be mobilized to annihilate the Yuwen Family.
"What domineering behavior..." Hearing Qing Lin's words, Lin Langtian couldn't help but gain a new understanding of the Darkness Hall's domineering style.
No wonder the Darkness Hall is so powerful, and there is a constant stream of resistance forces emerging. It can be said that the Darkness Hall has taken almost all the benefits of the Northern Xuan Region.
However, Lin Langtian immediately shook his head. The law of the jungle is the rule of the continent, and the Darkness Hall's might makes right.
Moreover, the Yuwen Family didn't even understand the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime, so their destruction was inevitable.
"Qing Tan, you just mentioned my opportunity. Could it be that it's to snatch back the Stillness Divine Tablet from the Yuwen Family?" Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Hmm, the Stillness Divine Tablet ranks thirteenth on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking, and Bro Langtian is quite valuable. If you can make contributions in this operation, even that old monster in the hall probably won't have any reason to stop you from obtaining the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill," Qing Tan said with a smile.
"Oh, that's a good idea..." Lin Langtian murmured, a thoughtful look on his face.
"In that case, let's set off for the Eastern Region," Lin Langtian said solemnly.
No matter what, I must get my hands on the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill.
The Darkness Hall Temple of the Southern River Realm, located in the back mountain area.
The top of a majestic mountain was leveled to form a huge plaza, and on this plaza, giant ships stood silently.
The surface of the ship was covered with black runes, which seemed to be absorbing and releasing the energy between heaven and earth.
At the very front of the ship, there was a tiger head carved about ten feet in size. The tiger head was majestic and fierce, and its mouth was slowly opening and closing. Faintly, astonishing energy fluctuations could be seen and seen in the tiger's mouth.
This is the Darkness War Tiger Ship, a means of transportation used by the Darkness Hall for military operations.
Because the Southern River Realm is located in the south and in a remote area, there is no space Teleportation Array that leads directly to the Eastern Region.
The entire Third Battalion Seventh Regiment consisted of 400 men. In order to avoid causing a disturbance along the way and to make the journey more convenient, they naturally had to travel by warship.
The Darkness War Tiger Ship is fast and stable, and was specially developed and is the favorite mode of transportation of the Darkness Hall.
Zhong Kui stood at the head of the group, gazing at the Darkness War Tiger Ship before him. He nodded with satisfaction to the branch hall Hall Master beside him and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all, this is what my branch hall should do," the branch hall Hall Master said with utmost humility and respect.
The Tribunal Army lived up to its Tribunal Army, destroying the once-dominant Fire Cloud Sect in the Southern River Realm in the blink of an eye, which also allowed these branch hall members to witness the terrifying power of the Darkness Tribunal once again.
"I heard that Camp Chief Zhong is going to the Eastern Region to suppress the rebellion. I hope you all will achieve your goal quickly." The branch hall Hall Master cupped his hands and flattered him.
"Hmm." Zhong Kui nodded slightly, neither confirming nor denying, then looked up at the sky and smiled, "It's about time, let's set off."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Kui waved to the person behind him.
The next moment, Yuan energy rose from the bodies of the four hundred members of the Tribunal Camp, and figures burst forth like locusts, blotting out the sky as they descended upon the already activated Darkness War Tiger Ship.
In a short time, more than four hundred people were taken in by the Darkness War Tiger Ship.
Zhong Kui, Lan Yan, Lin Langtian, Qing Tan, and others also darted out and landed on the ship.
A loud, deep horn sounded, and the runes engraved on the Darkness War Tiger Ship burst forth with brilliant light, accompanied by a surge of immense energy.
Immediately afterwards, the Darkness War Tiger Ship slowly rose into the air, accompanied by the roar of energy, transforming into a streak of light, breaking through the clouds, and quickly disappearing into the distance.
The Southern River Realm is a very long distance from the Eastern Region. Fortunately, the Darkness War Tiger Ship are extremely fast, and the Seventh Regiment is usually very dispersed, so the Third Battalion only needs to arrive before the designated time.
At the speed of the ship, it would take Lin Langtian about six or seven days to travel from the Southern River Realm to the Eastern Region.
Lin Langtian, Qing Tan, and their subordinates were assigned to a section of the ship. Since Qing Tan was the Squad Leader, it was equivalent to Lin Langtian having dozens of Tribunal Guard under his command.
These Tribunal Guard all possess the strength of Advanced Nirvana Stage. If placed within Eight Great Super Sects of the Eastern Xuan Region, they would be comparable to core disciples.
Over the past few days, Lin Langtian has become familiar with them, and the Tribunal Guard have great respect for both Qing Tan and Lin Langtian.
After all, anyone who has witnessed the great battle at the Fire Cloud Sect would probably have no doubt about Lin Langtian and Qing Tan's strength.
Perhaps because she had received resources from the Fire Cloud Sect, Qing Tan had been diligently cultivating these past few days. Lin Langtian was also surprised to discover that Qing Tan, who had just broken through to the Life Profound Stage, was showing signs of breaking through to the Life Profound Stage Great Success.
Seeing this, even Lin Langtian couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying power of the Fiend Demon Body. No wonder Qing Tan was able to take over as the Hall Master three years later; such a cultivation speed was truly terrifying.
Time passed unnoticed, and on the sixth day, the ship successfully arrived at Dongling City, an important branch of the Darkness Hall in the Eastern Region.
When the Darkness War Tiger Ship arrived at Dongling City, Lin Langtian stood on the warship and looked down. He could see a majestic fortress standing on the plain, like a crouching ancient beast, exuding a fierce aura, guarding the Eastern Region.
Above the city fortress, a vast and powerful energy fluctuation could be faintly seen. Upon closer inspection, it could be discovered to be a protective array covering an extremely large area.
As the Darkness War Tiger Ship approached, four beams of light were projected from the tiger's head on the ship.
Within the pillar of light, there appeared to be a winding rune. The rune shone upon the strange array, and immediately energy ripples spread out from the void, forming a passable hole.
The ship slowly sailed in.
As the ship entered the airspace above the fortress, several figures of light suddenly appeared from below, each radiating extremely powerful energy fluctuations, clearly all being experts at the Death Profound Stage.
Looking at the red, bloody swords on their Ghost Face Mask, Lin Langtian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and murmur.
"The other Camp Commander of the Seventh Regiment are truly terrifyingly strong..."
