Yuan Sect's Coercion

At Lin Langtian's command, the Heavenly Mansion immediately dispersed like a legion, beginning its assault on every corner of the Blood Horn Region.

Although the Blood Horn Region is a chaotic no-man's-land in the Eastern Xuan Region, its overall strength is not particularly strong. The Life Profound Stage is already the strongest in this region.

While top-tier combat power was relatively scarce in the Heavenly Mansion, there were dozens of Life Profound Stage experts. Therefore, each Heavenly Mansion team was led by a Life Profound Stage expert, and there were nearly thirty teams in total. Like tigers entering a flock of sheep, they began a great purge in the Blood Horn Region.

As Chaotic Land, the Blood Horn Region is filled with vicious and ruthless people, so Lin Langtian felt no discomfort at all about the killings.

Furthermore, Lin Langtian had no intention of subduing the numerous forces in the Blood Horn Region.

Firstly, the overall strength here is relatively weak, far inferior to that of the Southern River Realm. Secondly, because the Blood Horn Region is too chaotic, these forces are almost all opportunistic and not trustworthy. So, we simply swept them away to make room for the Heavenly Mansion.

Under the Heavenly Mansion's overwhelming strength and fierce offensive, the entire Blood Horn Region was wiped out in just two days, and then this region was brought into its own sphere of influence.

The Demon Saber Mountain Range is a region that is quite famous even in the entire Blood Horn Region. Originally, the Demon Saber Sect, one of the most powerful forces in the Blood Horn Region, was located here.

However, after the Demon Saber Sect Master was killed by Liu Kun with a single palm strike, this place became the location of the Heavenly Mansion's new headquarters.

At the heart of the Demon Saber Mountain Range stands a majestic and towering Demon Saber Mountain, upon which stand a row of grand palaces.

The Demon Saber Sect has been established in the Blood Horn Region for over a decade, making it a suitable foothold. However, all that hard work over the past ten years has now directly benefited Lin Langtian and Heavenly Mansion.

From now on, Demon Saber Mountain will be renamed Heavenly Mountain, and the Demon Saber Mountain Range will also be known as the Mountain Range of Heaven.

From now on, Heavenly Mansion will be the leader of this region, ruling over a vast territory radiating outwards from the Mountain Range of Heaven for tens of thousands of miles.

Within this vast Blood Horn Region, every individual and force is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Mansion.

From then on, Heavenly Mansion became the undisputed overlord of this place!

Meanwhile, the Main Peak of Heavenly Mountain was already bustling with activity, as many high-ranking elders of the Heavenly Mansion gathered there to discuss important matters.

"Reporting to the Palace Lord, the four directions of the Blood Horn Region have been swept away by our Heavenly Mansion. Those who submitted have been incorporated into our forces, while those who did not submit have been annihilated." At the front of the hall, Elder Yan stepped forward and said respectfully with a smile.

As he finished speaking, the entire hall was filled with joyful laughter.

Their Heavenly Mansion was originally formed by more than twenty forces that had committed wrongdoings in the Northern Xuan Region and were expelled by the Darkness Hall. Therefore, after leaving the Northern Xuan Region, almost everyone felt confused and even uneasy about the unknown future.

However, they have now not only jointly established Heavenly Mansion, but also occupied a territory no less than that of the Southern River Realm, and there is no longer the Darkness Hall pressing down on them. It can be said that their prospects are better than anyone expected.

Unbeknownst to them, the people's sense of belonging to the Heavenly Mansion and their loyalty to Lin Langtian had greatly increased.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian smiled and nodded. Although the Heavenly Mansion had become much more bloated after absorbing such a vast territory, the Heavenly Mansion had a solid foundation and was able to digest it slowly.

Once Heavenly Mansion safely navigates this phase and gradually absorbs its vast territory and resources, its power will rival that of the Eight Great Super Sects of the Heavenly Mansion Eastern Xuan Region.

At that time, Heavenly Mansion might very well become the ninth Super Sect in the Eastern Xuan Region, on par with the Yuan Sect and Dao Sect!

"Hehe, everyone did a great job. From now on, Blood Horn Region will be the territory of my Heavenly Mansion. Let's work together to make Heavenly Mansion flourish!" Lin Langtian chuckled and said loudly.

"The Palace Lord is mighty!"

The crowd cheered loudly. Although Heavenly Mansion had not been established for long, it had a young and outstanding Palace Lord and Great Elder with unfathomable strength, so it could be said to have unlimited potential.

"Liu Kun, your performance in conquering the Blood Horn Region was outstanding. From today onwards, you are reinstated as an elder." At this moment, Lin Langtian seemed to have thought of something, looked down at the middle-aged man below, and chuckled.

Lin Langtian understood the principle of giving a slap followed by a sweet treat. Liu Kun was quite strong, a powerful expert in the Death Profound Stage, so Lin Langtian did not intend to abandon him.

Moreover, Liu Kun also contributed greatly to the conquest of the Blood Horn Region. After all, there were some mysterious experts hidden in the Blood Horn Region, including some experts who had reached the Life Profound Stage Great Success or even the Life Profound Stage Perfection.

These people were all dealt with by Liu Kun personally, and from these actions, Lin Langtian also saw Liu Kun's loyalty.

Upon hearing this, Liu Kun, who was sitting in the audience, was taken aback at first, but then a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. He stood up and said respectfully, "Thank you Palace Lord!"

Knowing that there was a Samsara Stage expert in the Heavenly Mansion, Liu Kun had long since given up the idea of replacing Lin Langtian and had completely integrated into the Heavenly Mansion.

After all, anyone who isn't a fool can see Heavenly Mansion's potential.

Liu Kun was naturally overjoyed to be reinstated as an elder of the Heavenly Mansion, and at the same time, he became even more loyal to Lin Langtian.

Although his own Palace Lord is young, he is fair in rewarding and punishing, and has extraordinary talent. It is his good fortune to be able to follow such a genius and great leader!

This idea wasn't just in Liu Kun's mind; most of the powerful figures present, looking at the young Palace Lord at the head of the table, had the same thought...

"Hehe, today is a grand event in the Heavenly Mansion, everyone must drink until they're drunk!" Lin Langtian also vaguely sensed the change in everyone's mentality, and a smile appeared on his lips before he laughed loudly.

With manpower and a solid foundation, Heavenly Mansion was finally able to establish itself on the Heavenly Profound Continent!

"Your Palace Lord is wise."

Below, a chorus of flattery emanated from below, and the gazes directed at Lin Langtian held a hint of respect, showing more sincerity than before.

Lin Langtian laughed heartily and waved his hand. Suddenly, the former songstresses of the Demon Saber Sect appeared, carrying wine jugs, and moved through the hall. The atmosphere inside the hall was quite lively.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Tong suddenly appeared, his expression somewhat solemn as he approached Lin Langtian.

When Zhou Tong, who had been missing for two days, reappeared, the entire place fell silent, and everyone respectfully greeted him, "Great Elder."

These Heavenly Mansion Elders probably held Zhou Tong in even greater awe than Lin Langtian, after all, the former was a true expert at the Samsara Stage.

In response to the greetings from the crowd, Zhou Tong gave a soft "hmm," then whispered something in Lin Langtian's ear with a somewhat gloomy expression.

When Lin Langtian heard the news Zhou Tong had gathered over the past two days, he was startled. His expression suddenly turned cold, and he twisted the iron wine cup in his hand into a lump of mud. A cold killing intent appeared in his eyes.

"Damn Yuan Sect!"

Yuan City.

This is a city near the Yuan Sect, and it is also the city that all Yuan Sect disciples like to come to the most. Because it is backed by a big tree, its reputation is not weak even in the entire Eastern Xuan Region.

The atmosphere in Yuan City is somewhat strange now, because rumors are circulating everywhere that Lin Langtian, the strongest genius of the Yuan Sect who once overpowered the Three Young Kings, has betrayed the sect.

Meanwhile, at the central square of Yuan City.

All eyes were fixed on the tower in the city center. The spacious square in front of the tower was now extremely noisy. Outside the square, crowds of people surrounded it in circles, a dense mass that stretched as far as the eye could see.

As the crowd gathered, many sympathetic glances were directed toward the square, where a huge iron cage stood.

Inside the iron cage were not any demonic beasts, but rather a group of people with bloodshot eyes and faces full of resentment. At the very front sat several figures, including Mo Tie, Song Yun, and others.

At this moment, the faces of the group were all terrifyingly gloomy, and their gazes toward the Yuan Sect disciples outside were blood red, filled with an inescapable resentment and venom.

To them, being locked up here like an animal and allowed to be watched by others was worse than being killed.

Outside the iron cage were some Yuan Sect law enforcement officers. In the center of the square, there was a stone chair, where a burly man with fiery red hair sat, staring cruelly and coldly into the iron cage.

This figure was none other than Yan Ba, the Deputy Chief of the Yuan Sect Fire Division.

Since Yuan Sect confirmed a month ago, after multiple verifications, that Lin Langtian had left Yuan Sect and was seeking refuge in the Darkness Hall, the Yuan Sect leadership had sent all of Lin Langtian's confidants to the Yuan Sect as a warning to Yuan City and to force Lin Langtian to show himself.

During this month, Yan Ba used various methods to humiliate Mo Tie, Song Yun, and others in an attempt to force Lin Langtian out, but the final result left him somewhat frustrated and angry.

For more than a month, not only has he not shown up, but we haven't even seen a trace of him.

"I want to see how long you can hide like a coward. These people are your trusted confidants in the Fire Division. If you don't come to their rescue, your reputation will be worthless in the future."

"Heh heh, what kind of bullshit genius is he? I think he's just a coward who's afraid of death!" Yan Ba muttered with a gloomy smile as he recalled the humiliation of being defeated by Lin Langtian on the stone chair.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ba reached out and took the hot tea handed to him by someone next to him. Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Song Yun, Mo Tie, and the others in the iron cage, and sneered.

"Don't look so hateful. After all, you were all outstanding disciples of my Fire Division before. It's a pity you followed a traitor."

So you shouldn't hate me, you should hate that cowardly traitor Lin Langtian. Your current fate is all his fault.

"Hmph, Senior Brother is not a traitor. It was Yuan Sect that let him down!" Mo Tie's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Yan Ba, but suddenly he gave a ferocious smile, his face contorted.

"Bullshit! A traitor is a traitor!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Ba roared angrily, then glanced at Mo Tie and said angrily, "It seems that this past month still hasn't been enough to smooth out your bad tempers. Have I been too kind?"

As he was speaking, Yan Ba suddenly stood up, clenched his fist, and three daggers flashing with fire appeared in his hand, which then shot out with a whoosh.

"Ahhh!"

As the dagger shot out, three shrill screams immediately came from the iron cage. The three people behind Mo Tie had their hands pierced by the dagger, and bright red blood flowed out immediately.

Mo Tie's eyes twitched, his fists clenched tightly, and his eyes felt like they were about to burst when he heard the piercing scream.

Outside the square, all was silent, and many people had a look of fear in their eyes, probably because they were intimidated by Yan Ba's ruthlessness.

"Alas, what a pity about Song Yun, Mo Tie, and the others. I heard they were all outstanding disciples of the Fire Division, but now they have become prisoners."

"Who can argue with that? It's all because of Lin Langtian; otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

"What's wrong with Lin Langtian? Wasn't he supposed to be an even more talented genius than the Three Young Kings? Why did he suddenly betray us?"

"Who knows? I heard from the rumors that after the Sect Tournament, the Western Xuan Region Heavenly Profound Sect asked Lin Langtian to apologize, but the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect ignored it. Perhaps there was already a rift between the two sides at that time."

"Yes, Lin Langtian is not a direct descendant of the Yuan Sect after all. He was treated differently, which is why such an outstanding genius was forced to leave."

Whispers rippled around the square. Yuan City was close to the Yuan Sect, so it was very sensitive to news. Many people knew about Lin Langtian's departure from the Yuan Sect, so not everyone was simply blaming him.

In the square, Yan Ba's cruel gaze swept around, and anyone whose eyes met his looked away in fear.

"Mo Tie, my patience has been exhausted. Starting tomorrow, I will kill one person every day until Lin Langtian shows up."

"So now you should pray that Lin Langtian won't continue to be a coward, otherwise, this iron cage will be your final resting place." Yan Ba's face revealed a fierce aura as he said menacingly.

"Yan Ba, you are an absolute beast. Senior Brother won't show up, but when he does, believe me, your fate will be a hundred times worse than ours!"

The twisted expression on Mo Tie's face turned eerily calm. He stared at Yan Ba, his tone even, yet it carried a chilling undercurrent that sent shivers down one's spine.

Yan Ba's expression slowly froze. He looked at Mo Tie and smiled faintly, but the cold killing intent that gradually crept into his eyes made it clear to everyone that he was furious.

"Hmph, then I'll wait for him to show up. This damned traitor of the Yuan Sect will be personally taken in by the Three Grand Masters. No matter how many tricks Lin Langtian has, he will eventually not escape the palm of the Three Grand Masters!"

In the end, Yan Ba revealed a ferocious smile. He knew all too well how furious the Three Grand Masters were after Lin Langtian's betrayal was confirmed.

If Lin Langtian comes, he will surely die without a burial place!
