Yuan Sect Assassins and the Journey
"To Huoyan City?"
Upon hearing Mu Lan's invitation, Lin Langtian was taken aback, then murmured something to himself.
Huoyan City is the territory of the Flame God Palace. If he remembered correctly, Mu Lan went to Huoyan City at the invitation of Qing Zhi. The reason for this seemed to be a major operation by the Hall Master of the Flame God Palace against the Evil Demon.
At the same time, Tang Xinlian, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback and asked in surprise, "Senior Mu Lan, is your destination Huoyan City?"
As Mo Luo's Personal Disciple Grand Disciple, Tang Xinlian knew Huoyan City all too well, after all, it was the place where she grew up.
What she didn't expect was that Mu Lan, the elder of the Undying Sacred Whale Clan, was actually targeting her own territory. It was truly a coincidence.
"Hehe, that's right. Judging from your expressions, you don't seem to know about the huge tournament being held by the Flame God Palace... the Thunder Hegemony Competition, do you?"
Upon hearing these two words, Lin Langtian's eyes immediately narrowed.
"Hehe, this is an extremely grand Martial Path tournament held by the Flame God Palace. It's already making headlines in the Chaotic Demon Sea. And it's said that the champion of the tournament will be able to obtain the Thunder Ancestral Symbol..." Mu Lan chuckled.
"Thunder Ancestral Symbol? So, Master has successfully acquired the Thunder Ancestral Symbol?" Tang Xinlian asked with delight upon hearing this.
Logically speaking, this dangerous operation to destroy the Evil Demon in the Devouring Realm should have been led by her teacher Mo Luo, personally, since the mission was extremely difficult and ordinary Death Profound Stage simply couldn't handle it.
Unfortunately, Mo Luo was preoccupied with another, more important task: to find the Thunder Ancestral Symbol and acquire it.
Therefore, Mo Luo could only give a portion of the Flame Ancestral Symbol's primordial power to Tang Xinlian, and then entrust the important task of the Devouring Realm to the latter.
Fortunately, Lin Langtian came to her aid; otherwise, Tang Xinlian would not only have failed her mission, but her life would have been in danger as well.
Tang Xinlian was naturally overjoyed to learn that Mo Luo had obtained the Thunder Ancestral Symbol.
Lin Langtian, standing to the side, however, had a slight flicker in his eyes, doubting the veracity of the news.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, the prize for winning the Thunder Hegemony Competition, is merely a disguised form of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol's original power. The real Thunder Ancestral Symbol has likely already been obtained by Lin Dong ...
"If Brother Langtian is interested, you can go and join in the fun. It is said that all the top ten talents on the Chaotic Demon Sea Rookie Ranking have already made their moves for this Tournament. It is bound to be a fierce battle that will shake the Chaotic Demon Sea..." Mu Lan said with a smile.
On the other side, Tang Xinlian also looked at Lin Langtian with expectant eyes. Huoyan City was the territory of her Flame God Palace, and if there was a chance, she would naturally like to spend more time with Lin Langtian.
"Bro Langtian, what are your plans for the future?" Mu Lingshan asked with a smile.
Regardless of whether Lin Langtian goes to Huoyan City with Mu Lan or not, Mu Lingshan intends to follow Lin Langtian.
Lin Langtian smiled and tugged at the little girl's cute pigtails, then looked up at the southern horizon, pursed his lips slightly, and said softly.
"In that case, this junior will follow Senior Mu Lan to Huoyan City for a look..."
He roughly knew Mo Luo's plan, so he could foresee that the Flame Sea Region would become the most prominent place in the Chaotic Demon Sea.
The news of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol will surely attract a great deal of attention, with not only powerful figures from all sides rushing to the scene, but also... those hidden Evil Demon in this world... will be mobilized.
Of course, Lin Dong, who had fled from the Eastern Xuan Region to the Chaotic Demon Sea and had already obtained the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, was also included.
Having not seen Lin Dong for so long, this is a good opportunity for the two of them to meet.
Therefore, no matter what, I have to go and see this grand event.
Of course, the Elder Bei Jiao of the Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan might also be secretly eyeing the situation, so Lin Langtian would feel much more at ease if he acted with Mu Lan.
Eastern Xuan Region, Yuan Sect.
The massive sect remained as magnificent as ever, shrouded in mist and filled with an aura of grandeur. Countless figures moved swiftly and darted through it, the sound of wind breaking echoing everywhere.
Deep within the Yuan Sect lies a colossal palace, within which countless golden specks of light float.
These are the Nascent Soul imprints left by some of the elite disciples of the Yuan Sect. With these Nascent Soul imprints, the Yuan Sect is able to know the life and death status of these elite disciples.
This enormous hall is considered heavily guarded within the Yuan Sect, with dedicated disciples tending to it daily and observing the various changes in these Nascent Soul imprints.
Near the center of the giant hall, three golden orbs of light floated, emanating a powerful aura, clearly indicating that the owner of this Nascent Soul imprint was not weak.
Several Yuan Sect disciples walked slowly through the hall, examining the Nascent Soul imprints. Suddenly, one of them stopped, looked up with a slightly puzzled expression, and gazed at the three golden orbs of light.
Immediately afterwards, a look of horror suddenly appeared in his eyes, because he saw that fine cracks had appeared on the three golden orbs of light.
Bang!
Just as horror surged in the disciple's eyes, the three golden orbs of light suddenly exploded, and at the same time, a sinister and evil image emerged from them.
This image was naturally sent by the Heaven Division Head before his death.
The terrifying scene leaps off the page, but the desperate panic within it makes the faces of the Yuan Sect disciples in the main hall turn deathly pale instantly.
"Those are the imprints of the three chief ministers' Nascent Soul!"
"Quickly, go and report to the Sect Leader!"
The quiet hall instantly descended into chaos, with several disciples staggering around before rushing out of the hall in a panic.
After these disciples left, a strange sense of panic lingered in the main hall. The remaining Yuan Sect disciples looked at each other, their expressions uncertain.
"Lin Langtian seemed to have appeared in that Nascent Soul image just now?"
"Lin Langtian? That traitor, how did he end up in the Chaotic Demon Sea and even encounter the three chieftains who were on a mission?"
"It seems the deaths of the three department heads are related to that Lin Langtian. Damn it, that guy is always haunting us. Once our Yuan Sect has regrouped, we will definitely wipe out that traitor Lin Langtian and that damned Heavenly Mansion!"
"."
Whispers spread throughout the main hall, and the eyes of the Yuan Sect disciples were filled with uncertainty, which then turned into a look of resentment.
Under the influence of the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect, Lin Langtian has become the most despicable traitor in the history of the Yuan Sect. Furthermore, due to the continuous corruption of people's hearts by the Evil Demon Power, the minds of the Yuan Sect disciples have all become sinister...
"Lin Langtian, how did he end up in the Chaotic Demon Sea?"
Deep within the Yuan Sect, atop a mountain, three figures sat cross-legged. The space around them was slightly distorted, and with each breath, vast Yuan energy swirled, carrying the sounds of wind and thunder.
And within the Yuan Sect, who else besides the Yuan Gate Three Giants could possess such an aura?
At this moment, the Yuan Gate Three Giants stared at a faint image in mid-air in front of them with a slightly gloomy expression. The scene of the three Heaven Division Head dying before their deaths was heard intermittently from the image.
"Indeed, it seems that the three from the Heaven Division have been thwarted by Lin Langtian in their attempt to revive the Abyssal Demon King," Ren Yuanzi said coldly, his eyelids slightly lowered.
"Lin Langtian, why is he everywhere?"
Di Yuanzi said coldly, his voice filled with doubt. "Although Lin Langtian appeared in the arena, it seems that the three from Heaven Division died at the hands of the Abyssal Demon King."
So, it's highly likely that the Abyssal Demon King used the Heaven Division to recover his internal energy. I wonder if the Abyssal Demon King, having recovered some of his strength, will be able to kill Lin Langtian?
Di Yuanzi showed no regret for the three Heaven Division Head in his words. After all, to the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect, the vast Yuan Sect was nothing more than a pawn.
"Lin Langtian is not simple. Perhaps, that Abyssal Demon King has already fallen."
Tian Yuanzi in the center slowly opened his eyes, a dark look flashing across his deep pupils. "It's not a big deal that the three members of the Heaven Division died or even failed to revive the Abyssal Demon King, but the fact that they had Demon Seed in their bodies. If this were to become known, it would be a huge problem for my Yuan Sect."
"In this world today, top-tier experts have begun to take notice of the Evil Demon."
"Then what should we do?" Ren Yuanzi narrowed his eyes, a dark glint flashing in them.
"Initiate the plan," Tian Yuanzi said calmly after a moment's thought.
"Oh? You're going to make your move ahead of schedule? The Eastern Xuan Region is really going to be lively. It's been far too peaceful here for the past thousand years," Di Yuanzi chuckled.
On Tian Yuanzi's baby-white face, a gentle smile appeared, but that smile was filled with endless coldness.
"The current situation of numerous powerful forces in the Eastern Xuan Region should come to an end. Moreover, there is the newly emerging Heavenly Mansion, which, in addition to the strange Lin Langtian, also possesses two Samsara Stage. It should be completely eradicated."
"At that time, my Yuan Sect will be the sole ruler, hehe. Of course, our ambitions will not stop there."
"What about Lin Langtian? If this boy isn't eliminated, he'll become a menace," Ren Yuanzi said.
"Liu Zhuang has already rushed to the Chaotic Demon Sea to send a message to him, in order to eliminate Lin Langtian Chaotic Demon Sea."
According to the scene reported back by the three members of the Heaven Division, Lin Langtian had already used that mysterious power when he was fighting against the Abyssal Demon King in the Devouring Realm.
According to the Lord of the Fourth King Hall, although the mysterious power within Lin Langtian's body is not unique to this world, he cannot use it repeatedly. Therefore, this young man is at most only at the Death Profound Stage Lesser Success.
"Liu Zhuang is at the Death Profound Stage Perfection and also possesses Demon Seed. With him going, he will surely be able to kill Lin Langtian," Tian Yuanzi said softly.
"Oh, in that case, with Liu Zhuang making a move, Lin Langtian should have no chance of escaping."
Di Yuanzi gave a cold laugh, raised his head, and looked at the distant sky. The scene of that shocking battle in Yuan City a year ago, in which that thin young man defeated him, was still vivid in his mind and he felt deeply ashamed.
If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Sect couldn't do without him right now, he would have wanted to personally go to the Chaotic Demon Sea and kill Lin Langtian!
"The mysterious power within Lin Langtian's body does not originate from this world. In that case, it seems that this brat's joining my Yuan Sect was a calculated move. The depth of this little bastard's cunning is truly astonishing." Ren Yuanzi seemed to have thought of something and said through gritted teeth.
"Hmph, in front of the Demonic Emperor, everything is nothing. So what about Lin Langtian? Could he become the second Symbol Ancestor?"
"As long as the Evil Demon army rules the Heavenly Profound Continent, then our Yuan Sect will also usher in our own glory."
A cold, merciless glint of mockery flashed across Tian Yuanzi's eyes. In his view, humans were nothing but ants, and only by following the Evil Demon could his Yuan Sect find hope!
Upon hearing this, both Di Yuanzi and Ren Yuanzi revealed a hint of fanaticism in their eyes.
Their hearts had long been lost to power, so they not only felt no shame in following the Evil Demon, but were even proud of it.
In Lin Langtian's view, the Yuan Sect have all fallen too deep into demonic possession, and the only solution is physical annihilation...
Chaotic Demon Sea.
Splash!
The giant tail of the black whale swung, and then its massive body cut through the waves and soared forward. Occasionally, laughter and chatter could be heard from its back...
As night fell, stars twinkled in the dark sky. On the giant whale, Mu Lingshan and Tang Xinlian had fallen asleep again, while Liu Da and the other two took turns keeping watch.
Lin Langtian and Mu Lan sat on the whale's head, gazing at the starry sky and talking softly.
"I've heard about your deeds in the Eastern Xuan Region. Tsk tsk, you created a super power at such a young age, and you even dared to challenge the Yuan Sect and start a war. Those were three super strong experts who had stepped into the Samsara Stage. You have commendable courage, kid..." Mu Lan started a conversation.
Lin Langtian smiled slightly and said, "It was just luck. Yuan Sect has a strong foundation. Although it gained an advantage for the time being, if the fighting really continues, I'm afraid my Heavenly Mansion will not fare well either."
Mu Lan propped herself up, her eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Yuan Sect... that's a sect with a very strong foundation in the Eastern Xuan Region. Many years ago, a powerful force in the Chaotic Demon Sea fought against them, but in the end, they didn't gain any advantage."
Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting that Yuan Sect would still have such a reputation in the Chaotic Demon Sea.
"But that sect..."
Mu Lan pursed her lips, a hint of darkness flashing across her slightly narrowed eyes, and said, "Something seems off..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly. He naturally knew what was wrong with what Mu Lan was saying. It seemed that the collusion between the Yuan Sect and the Evil Demon had been detected by some powerful humans, but there was no substantial evidence.
Seeing Lin Langtian's expression, Mu Lan raised an eyebrow, then chuckled, "It seems you discovered the Yuan Sect's strangeness long ago, which is why you insisted on the Yuan Sect. It seems you have quite a few secrets..."
Mu Lan clearly knew a lot about Lin Langtian Lin Langtian, including his identity as a disciple of the Yuan Sect.
For ordinary people, betraying their sect is obviously a bad reputation, but Lin Langtian is different. After all, the Yuan Sect will soon be infamous, so Lin Langtian's actions will only be seen as having foresight.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian smiled slightly and didn't say anything more. The Yuan Sect's actions were becoming increasingly rampant, and it was likely that they would soon reveal their true colors.
At that time, the Eastern Xuan Region will also fall into chaos because of the Yuan Sect.
Chaos is a stepping stone; the war instigated by the Yuan Sect may very well be an opportunity for the Heavenly Mansion to truly rise to power...
