The Snipe and the Clam
In the spacious room, Lin Langtian took out the ' Sea King Spirit Grass ' that he had bought at the auction, then tossed it to Mu Lingshan and laughed.
"Take this, use it to remove the seal on your body."
Mu Lingshan reached out her small hand and quickly caught it, her big eyes showing some joy as she smiled and said.
"Finally found it. Hmph, once I break the seal, if I encounter those Blood Demon Shark Clan guys again, I'll definitely pull out all their teeth!"
Lin Langtian smiled, and said meaningfully, "Don't worry, we'll meet."
"Oh, we're going to steal that Sha Li guy's Black Token?" Mu Lingshan's big eyes lit up, and then she excitedly came over. "Great! Those Blood Demon Shark Clan guys are so annoying, let's steal his stuff and make him furious!"
Lin Langtian looked at this little girl who seemed to thrive on chaos and couldn't help but laugh. He rubbed her head and said, "You should break the seal first. Stealing things isn't easy; we need to plan this carefully."
"Um."
Mu Lingshan nodded. She knew that if she couldn't break the seal, with her current strength, following Lin Langtian to steal things would only be a burden.
With a wave of her hand, Mu Lingshan caused the black Life and Death Coffin Lid to float and appear. She leaped onto it, and a rich blue light surged from her body, while the ' Sea King Spirit Grass ' emitted a vibrant green glow.
Roar!
As Mu Lingshan activated her internal energy, a blood-red light surged from her shoulder, and a blood-red light shark emerged, its sharp serrated teeth biting into her shoulder. The blood-red light seeped in, hindering the circulation of Mu Lingshan's internal energy.
Mu Lingshan bit her lip, her small hands changing hand seals. The emerald light transformed from the ' Sea King Spirit Grass ' in her hand surged into her body and then attacked the blood-red light shark.
This ' Sea King Spirit Grass ' seemed to be quite effective against this kind of seal. As a result, wherever the emerald light passed, the blood-red light immediately retreated, and the blood-red light shark that had been so arrogant and ferocious quickly weakened...
"It worked!"
Seeing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly. It seemed that the ' Sea King Spirit Grass ' did indeed have a good effect on Mu Lingshan's seal.
Seeing that Mu Lingshan was slowly breaking the seal and restoring her strength, Lin Langtian stopped paying attention. Then, with a thought, a scroll exuding an ancient aura appeared in his palm.
Upon seeing the ancient scroll, the Liu Brothers ' eyes lit up, and an expression of excitement appeared on their faces.
This ancient scroll was none other than the ' Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art '!
Seeing the excitement on the faces of the Liu Brothers, Lin Langtian naturally wouldn't let them be disappointed. He then waved his sleeve, and the ancient scroll landed in front of the Liu Brothers.
"This ' Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art ' was originally auctioned for the three of you. Take advantage of this time, Liu Da, and you should master it quickly..." Lin Langtian said with a faint smile.
"Thank you for the gift Palace Lord!"
Upon hearing this, the Liu Brothers carefully accepted the ' Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art ', their faces filled with immense joy. They then bowed respectfully to Lin Langtian.
"Hehe, you've all been working tirelessly for me these past few days, and this is what you deserve," Lin Langtian said with a wave of his hand and a faint smile.
The Liu Brothers were quite capable, and after this period of testing, Lin Langtian knew that they were indeed reliable, so he was generous with his rewards.
Furthermore, after mastering the Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art, the Liu Brothers ' strength will rise to another level, which will be a great help in their upcoming actions.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Langtian waved his hand, ordering the Liu Da brothers to go down and learn how to cultivate the Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art, while he was responsible for keeping an eye on Sha Li and his group.
In the following days, although the Myriad Merchants Auction House had ended, the city's popularity did not diminish much, and many powerful figures still lingered there.
Moreover, while they lingered there, their gazes were all fixed on the same direction, which was the place where the Blood Demon Shark Clan had settled.
It's clear that there are quite a few people in this city who covet the Black Token in the hands of the Blood Demon Shark Clan.
Although most people are well aware of their own limitations, the current Myriad Merchants City is a den of wolves, and the Blood Demon Shark Clan is like several lions dragging their prey. Although their lion might is not weak, they are relatively weak.
Sha Li were also aware of this situation. It must be said that they also had some methods. In just one day, they spent a lot of money to hire a number of powerful guards from Myriad Merchants City. This was clearly an attempt to use one wolf to guard against another.
However, the major powers still based in Myriad Merchants City watched their actions with indifference and did not take them seriously.
As time slowly passed, the Liu Brothers finally emerged from their seclusion and came to Lin Langtian with joy on their faces.
"Oh, it seems you've successfully mastered the Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art?" Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow, seeing the joy on Liu Da and the other two's faces.
"We have lived up to the Palace Lord's expectations. My two brothers and I have barely mastered the Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art!"
Liu Da and the other two beamed with joy and bowed respectfully to Lin Langtian.
"Hehe, it seems that the Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art is indeed suitable for your cultivation. Now that you have mastered it, let me witness the power of this ancient superior Heavenly Martial Skill." Lin Langtian smiled slightly, a look of interest appearing on his face.
The Liu Brothers are all at the Death Profound Stage Lesser Success. If they were to use the Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art, what kind of power would they unleash?
"Then I shall make a fool of myself before the Palace Lord."
Upon hearing this, the Liu Brothers smiled and nodded. Then, they each took a step back, forming a mysterious formation that could both attack and defend. As the formation was completed, three powerful forces of black, white, and gray surged out from their bodies!
The surging Yuan energy did not spread out, but instead flashed out along the formation. Finally, the three streams of Yuan energy intertwined, forming a perfect cycle that connected the essence, energy, and spirit of the three people.
As the cycle completed, a terrifying roar filled with ancient energy suddenly erupted from the robes of the Liu Brothers. Then, their robes billowed, and the three ferocious beasts transformed into a surge of Death Qi energy, completely enveloping the three men's bodies.
As this Death Qi energy surged out, the aura of the Liu Brothers fighting independently gradually dissipated. In its place, this vast Yuan power quickly shifted and concentrated on Liu Da's body!
In an instant, Liu Da exuded a terrifying aura that was in no way weaker than that of a powerful expert at the Death Profound Stage Grand Completion!
"Oh, this ' Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art ' truly lives up to its reputation as a superior celestial Heavenly Martial Skill. The effect of transferring vital energy and combining the body is truly wondrous."
Sensing the ancient and powerful aura emanating from Liu Da, Lin Langtian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.
Liu Da's aura is now no less than that of a Death Profound Stage Grand Completion. It should be noted that the Liu Brothers have only just begun to master the Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art. If the three of them were to use it skillfully, they would probably be able to fight against a Death Profound Stage Perfection without any problem.
Even if the Liu Brothers break through to the Death Profound Stage Perfection in the future, and then use the Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art again, they may be able to fight against a Samsara Stage expert as rumored!
"Hehe, as expected of the Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art, these ten million Xuan Yuan Pill were well spent," Lin Langtian laughed.
Just as Lin Langtian was praising it, his expression suddenly changed. At the same moment, he could feel that the atmosphere of the city suddenly fluctuated.
"Oh, you couldn't resist anymore..."
Noticing this subtle change, Lin Langtian was taken aback. He then went to the window, looked up, and saw that from the northwest direction, countless whooshing sounds suddenly rang out.
Hundreds of figures emerged from the deep darkness at the same time, then swept out of the city in a vast, overwhelming wave.
Lin Langtian and his companions stood up from the pavilion, ignoring the overwhelming chaos, and focused their gazes on three areas. The aura emanating from those three places was the strongest, clearly indicating that they belonged to the main force of the Blood Demon Shark Clan.
"Palace Lord, the Blood Demon Shark Clan seems to have split into three groups. Their dispersed nature seems to be... a distraction," Liu Da, frowning.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded. He could see that in all directions of the city, the major forces that had been keeping a close eye on the Blood Demon Shark Clan were also beginning to mobilize.
The locations they had locked onto were the three groups of people with the strongest auras.
"The Black Token isn't on those people. Those people are just decoys..." At this moment, Spirit Aunt's lazy voice rang out.
Although she often falls into a deep sleep, it must be said that Spirit Aunt always provides timely help to Lin Langtian at crucial moments.
"No need to rush, the real big fish is yet to come." With Spirit Aunt's reminder, Lin Langtian crossed his arms and said with a playful look in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the Liu Brothers exchanged bewildered glances. Although they did not know how Lin Langtian had determined the location of the Black Token, their loyalty to Lin Langtian had clearly increased dramatically after receiving the Three Beasts Yuan Turning Art as a reward.
Therefore, upon hearing Lin Langtian say this, the three of them, though puzzled, did not question him and instead dutifully obeyed his orders.
At this moment, Myriad Merchants City was undoubtedly in extreme chaos. Countless powerful figures swept across the sky like locusts, chasing after the Blood Demon Shark Clan that had fled the city. Even many major forces followed the three groups of powerful figures.
After about half an hour, the city finally calmed down a little.
"The Black Token has moved north of the city," Spirit Aunt's voice suddenly rang out at that moment.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's smile deepened. He then whistled and led Liu Da and the other two straight towards the north of the city. As he darted away, a petite figure quickly followed.
At the same time, outside Myriad Merchants City, several figures swept low through the air. They were not fast, but they were silent. Wherever they passed, even the air was shaken away, like ghosts.
The routes they took were extremely remote, so even though the Myriad Merchants City was in complete chaos at the moment, no one could detect these figures who had quietly left the city.
Whoosh!
Several figures leaped out from the void, their wide black robes covering their bodies. A gust of wind blew, lifting a corner of the leader's robe, revealing a bloodthirsty face—that of Sha Li of the Blood Demon Shark Clan.
"Young Sha Li, Commander Xia and the others have been entangled..." a voice whispered behind Sha Li.
"Hmm." Sha Li nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with a cold light as he looked behind him and said menacingly, "These humans actually dared to plot against my Blood Demon Shark Clan. We'll deal with them later!"
"Let's ignore them for now. Once we leave the Myriad Merchants Domain, someone will naturally come to meet us, and then we won't have to worry anymore."
"Yes." Several people behind him nodded in response.
"Hehe, Sha Li, your trick of deceiving everyone is not bad, but I'm afraid the effect is not as good as you imagined..." However, just as his voice fell, laughter suddenly came from a mountain peak in front of them.
Laugh!
Several figures that had been rushing out suddenly froze. Sha Li looked up with a sinister expression, his cold gaze fixed on the black-clad figure on the mountain peak, and sneered, "Li Lin? You actually managed to track me down?"
"Hehe, you have your brilliant plan, and I naturally have my methods," Li Lin said with a smile to Sha Li.
"It's impressive that you were able to detect my presence, but do you think that just because you're eighth on the Chaotic Demon Sea Rookie Ranking and have the Heavenly Shark Sect behind you, you can take what's in my hands?" Sha Li said coldly.
"Naturally, this is not my Heavenly Shark Sect." Li Lin laughed, then looked towards the forest to the north and said, "Brother Zhao Gou, since you're here, why not show yourself?"
"Haha, as expected, I couldn't hide it from Brother Li." As soon as Li Lin finished speaking, a loud laugh came from the jungle, and then several figures rushed out. The one in the lead was Zhao Gou of the Boundless Sect.
Sha Li stared at Zhao Gou with a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes and sneered, "When did the Boundless Sect get involved with the Heavenly Shark Sect? I only have one token here. Even if you steal it, who among you can take it?"
"Sha Li, there's no need for such provocative tactics. In any case, we need to take the token from you first before we can discuss the distribution," Li Lin said.
"Take it away? You're thinking too highly of yourself," Sha Li said coldly.
"Hehe, now that most of the strongmen of your Blood Demon Shark Clan are tied down, the people around you are probably unreliable," Zhao Gou said with a smile.
"Is that so? Then you should give it a try." A strange look flashed across Sha Li's eyes as he spoke.
Li Lin and his companion narrowed their eyes, exchanged a glance, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly burst forth, their immense Yuan Power sweeping out and transforming into two sharp streaks that swept directly towards the Sha Li.
However, faced with the combined attack of the two, Sha Li just sneered and showed no sign of stopping them.
Just as the two men's attacks reached his head, a figure shrouded in black robes suddenly stepped out from behind him. A withered hand emerged, its fingertips wreathed in black light, and it grabbed out.
Click!
Withered hands gripped the two cascading streams of Yuan energy, then with a fierce squeeze, they crushed the streams of Yuan energy directly.
Bang!
With a single palm strike, the figure crushed a stream of Yuan energy. With a flick of his sleeve, a circle of black light burst forth, sweeping towards Li Lin and his companion with lightning speed.
"Such a dense Death Qi? A master of the Death Profound Stage Grand Completion?!"
