Yuan Sect Makes Its Move

"You hunted down those remnants of the Yuwen Family and obtained the Stillness Divine Tablet?" In the hall, Jiang Shan stared at Lin Langtian in disbelief.

On the other side, after entering the hall, Lin Langtian looked at Jiang Shan and Xu Lie at the head of the table. Feeling their auras so closely, his expression couldn't help but tighten slightly.

A being at the Death Profound Stage Perfection, incredibly close to the Samsara Stage, is indeed much stronger than Yuwen Zhong, who is only at the Death Profound Stage Lesser Success.

With his current strength, even if he uses every means at his disposal, he would still be no match for the two of them.

With a slight pursing of his lips, Lin Langtian cupped his hands in greeting to the two people above him, then said in a solemn voice, "Reporting to the Regiment Commander, all the remnants of the Yuwen Family, including Yuwen Tuo, have been executed without exception."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lie frowned slightly and questioned, "Leaving aside where the remnants of the Yuwen Family were teleported to by the spatial Teleportation Array, how exactly did you manage to track them down?"

As far as I know, among those remnants, there seemed to be a Death Profound Stage expert from the Yuwen Family. Shadow Guard, how... how did you deal with this Death Profound Stage expert?

As Xu Lie finished speaking, Jiang Shan and other high-ranking officers of the Seventh Regiment of the Tribunal Army looked at Lin Langtian with suspicion.

In their perception, Lin Langtian was still in the Life Profound Stage. Even if he was at the Life Profound Stage Perfection, it would not be so easy for him to deal with a Death Profound Stage Lesser Success.

After all, the gap between the Death Profound Stage and the Life Profound Stage is not something that can be crossed easily.

Within the Tribunal Army, those at the Life Profound Stage can at most serve as Flag Leader, Death Profound Stage are already capable of serving as mid-to-high-level Camp Commander. It can be said that the Death Profound Stage is already a threshold for the strong.

Zhong Kui also looked at Lin Langtian with some surprise. When the Fire Cloud Sect was destroyed, Lin Langtian could only barely defeat the Blood Puppet Half-step Death Profound Stage. In such a short time, he was able to truly defeat the Death Profound Stage Lesser Success.

Hearing Xu Lie's question, Lin Langtian's expression did not change. He simply said, "That group of remnants of the Yuwen Family did indeed use a spatial Teleportation Array to escape thousands of miles away. However, I possess special skills and, after determining their location, I went to pursue them alone."

As for the Death Profound Stage expert from the Yuwen Family, although his strength was considerable, he was no match for his subordinates. After a fierce battle, all the remaining members of the Yuwen Family were annihilated.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Langtian's mind stirred, and a black divine tablet slowly emerged. Immediately, a strange fluctuation emanated from the black divine tablet, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.

"This is... the Stillness Divine Tablet!"

At the head of the table, Jiang Shan stared at the extraordinary black divine tablet, first stunned, then as if he had thought of something, he exclaimed in shock.

"That's right, it is indeed the Stillness Divine Tablet. It seems that the Shadow Guard have truly wiped out that group of the Yuwen Family remnants." Xu Lie, standing to the side, looked at the Stillness Divine Tablet with a look of surprise on his face. Then, as if he had thought of something, he gave Lin Langtian a deep look.

Although he didn't know exactly where the Yuwen Family's spatial Teleportation Array had teleported those remnants, it was at least beyond the Eastern Region region. However, Lin Langtian was able to chase after them and return in such a short time, so he must possess some kind of treasure that allows him to travel through space.

These treasures seem to be almost as valuable as the Stillness Divine Tablet.

Moreover, Yuwen Zhongshi, who was at the Lesser Completion of the Death Profound Realm, was also extremely powerful. It was truly unexpected that Lin Lang, with his innate Profound Realm strength, was able to kill him.

Thinking of this, Xu Lie realized that Lin Langtian was indeed worthy of his reputation, no wonder he was valued by the Hall Master to serve as the Shadow Guard of the trial participants.

On the other side, Jiang Shan waved his sleeve, sweeping the Stillness Divine Tablet over. He reached out and stroked the black divine token in his hand, feeling the heart-pounding fluctuations on it. The look of surprise on Jiang Shan's face grew even stronger.

"Haha, it truly is Stillness Divine Tablet! With this divine object in hand, I can finally give an account to the Hall Master!" Jiang Shan laughed thunderously.

After the laughter subsided, Jiang Shan shifted his gaze slightly and looked at Lin Langtian. He had to admit that the latter's performance surprised him as well.

He had already considered the worst-case scenario of the Yuwen Family remnants fleeing the Northern Xuan Region, but he never expected that his subordinates would be able to hunt them down and bring back the Stillness Divine Tablet.

"Shadow Guard, you did well. You deserve the most credit in this battle. I will personally petition the Hall Master for your commendation. Also, I, the Regiment Commander, owe you a favor." Jiang Shan, with his mountain-like stature and thunderous voice, said.

"Thank you very much, Regiment Commander, but this favor is..."

Lin Langtian understood why Jiang Shan wanted to claim credit for him, which was also the purpose of his efforts to retrieve the Stillness Divine Tablet. After all, without a great achievement to back him up, Bo Xuan would not be able to pressure the Elder Council to ask for the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill for him.

But what does this favor mean?

"Hehe, Shadow Guard, you may not know this, but within the Darkness Tribunal, successfully destroying a force like the Yuwen Family is considered a great achievement. Once you accumulate ten great achievements, you can exchange them for a drop of Dark Sacred Liquid at the Darkness Tribunal."

The Dark Sacred Liquid is the most precious treasure of my Darkness Hall. It possesses great power and can stabilize one's foundation, enabling one to achieve perfection and thus increasing the success rate of breaking through shackles and advancing to the Samsara Stage. Even within the Darkness Tribunal, only those who have made ten great contributions can obtain this opportunity.

Jiang Regiment Commander, after so many years of fighting in the north and south, has only accumulated nine great merits. He is just one more merit away from destroying the Yuwen Family, which would allow him to accumulate ten merits and exchange them for the Dark Sacred Liquid.

However, although the Yuwen Family was destroyed, they did not obtain the Stillness Divine Tablet, so according to the rules, it can only be considered as a medium-level achievement at most.

"It was only thanks to you, Shadow Guard, that you successfully brought back the Stillness Divine Tablet, thus averting this loss. That's why Regiment Commander Jiang said he owes you a favor."

"I see..." Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded in understanding, realizing that was the reason.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian also became quite interested in the Dark Sacred Liquid. You should know that a battle like the destruction of the Yuwen Family only counts as one great merit, and ten great merits are needed to exchange for one drop of Dark Sacred Liquid, which shows how precious this item is.

However, its effect is indeed extremely amazing, as it can actually increase the chances of Death Profound Stage Perfection expert advancing to the Samsara Stage.

It should be understood that in a continent where Reincarnation Stage experts are almost non-existent, the Samsara Stage is already the strongest force in each power. If one can advance from the Death Profound Stage to the Samsara Stage, it will be a qualitative leap, successfully stepping into the ranks of the continent's experts.

Even in the Darkness Hall, experts at the Samsara Stage are considered high-ranking members, and in the Darkness Tribunal, they are Elder Level second only to the Tribunal Chief.

Although Lin Langtian is still far from the Samsara Stage, he undoubtedly yearns for that level, and therefore understands Jiang Shan's feelings very well.

"Hehe, then congratulations to Regiment Commander Jiang." Lin Langtian looked at the first man, who was as tall and imposing as a mountain, and offered his congratulations.

Jiang Shan's strength has reached the peak of the Death Profound Stage Perfection, and he is only one step away from the Samsara Stage. Otherwise, he would not have been able to suppress Yuwen Hao, who is also at the Death Profound Stage Perfection.

With the help of the Dark Sacred Liquid, Jiang Shan might actually be able to take the final step and advance to the Samsara Stage.

"Haha, it's all thanks to you, Shadow Guard, for retrieving the Stillness Divine Tablet in time. Otherwise, who knows when we would have been able to complete this last great achievement."

"Regardless, if you ever need any help in the future, Shadow Guard, please feel free to ask, as long as it's within my power." Jiang Shan patted his broad chest and laughed heartily.

Advancing to the level of Samsara Stage expert is undoubtedly the wish of every Death Profound Stage Perfection expert. For this wish, Jiang Shan has been fighting in the Darkness Tribunal for decades, not only making a name for himself as the Black Mountain General, but also accumulating numerous battle merits.

Now that the opportunity to finally exchange for the Dark Sacred Liquid and glimpse the Realm of Reincarnation has finally arrived, how could Jiang Shan not be excited?

Even Xu Lie, who was standing to the side, showed a hint of envy in his eyes. The Samsara Stage was a true powerhouse on the continent.

However, he also knew that the Darkness Tribunal was an extremely bloody and cruel place. Jiang Shan's accumulation of ten great merits to exchange for the Dark Sacred Liquid was the result of his hard work and battles, something that others could only envy.

Upon hearing Jiang Shan's words, Lin Langtian nodded with a light smile. If Jiang Shan could truly advance with the help of the Dark Sacred Liquid, then the favor bestowed by Samsara Stage expert would be worth a fortune.

Of course, what Lin Langtian didn't know was that Jiang Shan said this because he valued Lin Langtian's character.

Jiang Shan knew that Lin Langtian was not from the Darkness Hall, but from the Eastern Xuan Region. However, after obtaining the Stillness Divine Tablet, Lin Langtian did not keep it for himself, but offered it up voluntarily, which was enough to show Lin Langtian's character.

Jiang Shan naturally wanted to befriend such a talented and virtuous person.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Langtian took his leave and slowly walked out of the hall.

Outside the hall, Qing Tan seemed to have received the news and was already waiting anxiously.

"Bro Langtian, you're out." Qing Tan saw Lin Langtian walk out and quickly stepped forward with a smile. Her pretty face, which had become increasingly cold due to the cruel war, showed a rare tenderness when she saw Lin Langtian.

Lin Langtian looked at Qing Tan, whose aura was becoming increasingly cold, and a look of heartache appeared on his face. However, when he sensed Qing Tan's aura, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he said, "You have broken through to the Life Profound Stage Great Success?"

"Well, I seized a Ice Treasure from the Yuwen Family's treasury, which is extremely suitable for my Fiend Demon Body cultivation. In addition, I had already reached the peak of the Lesser Completion stage before, so I accidentally broke through to the Life Profound Stage Great Success." Qing Tan stuck out her fragrant tongue and chuckled.

"I accidentally broke through..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's forehead creased with annoyance, his lips twitched, and he couldn't help but feel envious.

As expected of the Fiend Demon Body, her cultivation speed is truly terrifying. No wonder Qing Tan was able to become the Hall Master of the Darkness Hall from a Nirvana Stage disciple in just three years in the original work. It turns out that when she was cultivating desperately, her cultivation speed was so fast that even Lin Langtian and Lin Dong probably couldn't catch up.

"By the way, Bro Langtian, did you successfully hunt down and kill that group of remnants of the Yuwen Family? I heard that there was Death Profound Stage expert among them. Are you alright?"

Although Qing Tan was only the Squad Leader, as a trial participant, she obviously knew a lot of information. Moreover, she knew that Lin Langtian was able to catch up with that group of remnants because he must have used the Space Ancestral Talisman.

"Hehe, it's nothing. I've dealt with that Death Profound Stage, and I've also retrieved the Stillness Divine Tablet and handed it over to the Regiment Commander and the others." Lin Langtian waved his hand and chuckled.

"Oh, the Stillness Divine Tablet has also been recovered. In that case, Bro Langtian, you have done a great service this time. Those old guys in the Elder Council probably have no reason to stop you from obtaining the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill, unless those old guys think the Stillness Divine Tablet is not worth mentioning."

Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, Qing Tan's beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately congratulated Lin Langtian.

As for Lin Langtian's killing of Death Profound Stage despite being above his level, it didn't surprise Qing Tan much. After all, in her mind, Lin Langtian had always been a mysterious and powerful figure.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian smiled slightly. The Stillness Divine Tablet was ranked thirteenth on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking, and its value was far beyond that of the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill. Presumably, this time, the Elder Council of the Darkness Hall would have no more excuses to stop them.

"By the way, Bro Langtian, Chen Kui just sent me a message saying that something seems to have happened at the Yuan Sect in the Eastern Xuan Region." At this moment, Qing Tan seemed to have thought of something, looked at Lin Langtian, and hesitated.

"Oh, what is it..." Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

Qing Tan pursed her red lips slightly and said in a deep voice, "Some time ago, Bro Langtian defeated Mo Ming and became famous in the Northern Xuan Region. Later, you even became my Shadow Guard. This news seems to have attracted the attention of the Yuan Sect when it was sent back to the Eastern Xuan Region."

Perhaps seeing that you haven't made a move against me yet, the Yuan Sect seems to have become suspicious of you, and even thinks that you, Bro Langtian, have 'betrayed' the Yuan Sect.

According to my spies in the Darkness Hall Eastern Xuan Region, the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect have secretly imprisoned all your trusted confidants who participated in the Sect War with you in the Fire Division, and their whereabouts are unknown. Clearly, they are preparing to do something...

"What!?"

Upon hearing Qing Tan's words, Lin Langtian's expression changed drastically. He clenched his fists, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

An overwhelming killing intent surged forth from his body.

Although he knew he would eventually break with the Yuan Sect, he did not expect the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect to act so quickly and to directly imprison a group of his trusted confidants in the Fire Division.

Although Song Yun Mo Tie and others are no longer a help to Lin Langtian, and are even somewhat unqualified to serve as his subordinates, they were once his trusted confidants.

Lin Langtian obviously couldn't just stand by and watch these people be killed by the Yuan Sect.

"Bro Langtian, don't worry. Although Yuan Sect has imprisoned your confidants in the Fire Division, they haven't yet determined whether you've 'betrayed' them. Therefore, they probably won't take action against your confidants for the time being."

Seeing Lin Langtian's anger, Qing Tan's pretty face also showed concern, and she quickly comforted him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian took a deep breath and nodded, slowly regaining his composure.

He knew that the reason Yuan Sect captured Song Yun Mo Tie and the others was probably to force him to show himself after confirming his 'betrayal'.

So it seems that Yuan Sect won't be taking action against Song Yun Mo Tie his group anytime soon.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly, then murmured, "It seems that reviving Zhou Tong and establishing the Heavenly Mansion need to be accelerated..."
