Look How Happily They Laughed

The Demonic Corpse was emaciated, its withered skin covered with dense black Demonic Tattoo. Its black skin was as if it were cast from refined iron, and its physical strength was comparable to that of Life Mysterious Stage expert.

At the dantian, a dense mass of vital energy could be faintly seen enveloping and swirling around the pill.

"Roar! Roar!"

Upon realizing it was free from its restraints, the Demonic Corpse, which was frantically crashing against the light array, roared and charged towards the Dao Sect disciples ahead, unleashing a torrent of violent energy.

However, none of the three hundred disciples showed any sign of panic and remained steadfast in their defense of the formation, for they trusted their Chief Seat.

"It's nothing but a mindless beast, yet it dares to be so arrogant."

Lin Dong, who was at the forefront, turned cold and pointed his finger in mid-air.

"Stasis! Purification! Decomposition!"

With three loud shouts, the violent black shadow was first frozen in place by an invisible wave, then its Demonic Qi was swept away by a gentle light, and finally it was completely disintegrated into the world by a pillar of light.

"Buzz!"

A milky-white pill, brimming with abundant Life Energy, spun rapidly in Lin Dong's palm— the Life Mysterious Bone Pearl.

"This is the power of the number one person in my Dao Sect!"

The three hundred disciples of the Dao Sect all watched this scene with fanatical expressions.

A Half-step Life Mysterious Stage Demonic Corpse that could rival the Little Thunder King of the Yuan Sect was easily suppressed by Senior Brother Lin Dong in the blink of an eye. How magnificent!

"Such terrifying strength. No wonder Brother Lin Dong said there was no need for me to take action. It turns out that this was not just polite talk. If I were to face him, the outcome would be quite uncertain."

At the rear of the Dao Sect camp, Chen Kui, wearing Ghost Face Mask, spoke with a solemn expression.

"Pshaw, what do you mean 'hard to say'? Chen Kui is nowhere near as good as Brother Lin Dong!"

The woman in the black dress beside him immediately retorted.

"... Ugh, I'm so tired. Now that I have an older brother, I don't need my Senior Disciple Brother anymore."

Chen Kui's eyes twitched violently for a moment, looking utterly hopeless.

"Bring over the second Demonic Corpse."

Lin Dong, who had annihilated the Half-step Life Mysterious Stage Demonic Corpse with a single blow, did not stop and continued to issue orders to the Dao Sect.

"Yes, Senior Brother Lin Dong!"

A frenzied roar rang out, and yet another Demonic Corpse of equal strength was driven over, charging menacingly towards the formation.

"Stasis! Purification! Decomposition!"

With a calm expression, Lin Dong raised his arm again and gave a command from afar.

Following the same method, the four powerful Demonic Corpse were easily killed by the Dao Sect team in a dozen minutes, with no disciples injured or killed.

"Adding to the previous six, we have now collected ten Life Mysterious Bone Pearl. You and Wang Yan should each take half and try to break through to the Half-step Life Mysterious Stage as soon as possible."

Lin Dong handed the four newly acquired Life Mysterious Bone Pearl to Ying Xiaoxiao.

"Should I split it in half with Senior Brother Wang Yan? What about Huanhuan? Huanhuan is also at the Nirvana Stage peak, so we should split it in three."

Ying Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Dong in confusion.

"Huanhuan's situation is special. She might be in the Life Mysterious Stage this time, but she might enter the Death Mysterious Stage next time. You can't compare to her."

Lin Dong glanced at Ying Huanhuan with amusement and casually tossed the Life Mysterious Bone Pearl down.

"Hehe, sister, Lin Dong is right. My situation is special. I'll tell you about it when I get back."

The young girl smiled and winked at Ying Xiaoxiao.

"We have been using the Demonic Corpse to obtain the Life Mysterious Bone Pearl and train our troops for seven days. Shouldn't we head to the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury? Judging by the time, the other sects should be arriving in the vicinity soon, since the Yuan Sect has already found the way to open it."

Ying Xiaoxiao readily accepted it without any hesitation.

Ying Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Wang Yan, Qing Ye, and the others all turned to look at Lin Dong, awaiting the decision of the competition's chief commander.

"Alright, we've accumulated enough Life Mysterious Bone Pearl, so there's no point in continuing to hunt Demonic Corpse. Let's go."

Lin Dong nodded slightly and led the Dao Sect team to rush north.

The vast basin, covered in crimson, with wisps of white smoke rising faintly, stood out starkly against the dark and desolate atmosphere of the rest of the Chaotic Demon Region.

The Crimson Basin was packed with a dense crowd, and even in the sky, many skilled individuals stood on the air, with the sound of wind breaking ringing out from time to time. More and more teams that knew the news were rushing to this place.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A powerful whooshing sound filled the air as an exceptionally elite Super Sect team charged straight into the center of the basin as if entering an empty field, with no one daring to stop them.

Because they come from the Dao Sect!

In the central core area of the basin, all the eight major groups, including Yuan Sect, Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace, Primeval Desolation Hall, Fu, etc., have gathered here.

"The Dao Sect has also arrived, so now all eight sects are finally together. But the real show is about to begin."

Within the Primeval Desolation Hall camp, a gaunt figure crossed his arms and laughed gleefully.

Although his physique did not conform to the tradition of the Primeval Desolation Hall producing Muscle Man, the group of muscular men around him all bowed down and treated him with utmost respect, making the scene seem almost comical.

He was Wu Hong, the Desolate Hall Chief. When he first entered the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage, he was able to smash the Nirvana Golden Body of a veteran Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage with a single punch using only his physical strength.

Any True Disciple of the Primeval Desolation Hall who dared to disobey Wu Hong was taught a lesson by him wielding his iron fists, so no one dared to offend the Chief Seat's dignity.

"Um?"

Wu Hong smiled, and finding no one echoing him, he swept his displeased gaze around, startling the group of muscular men around him, who immediately tilted their heads back and puffed out a series of laughs that were as fake as could be.

"Yeah, that's more like it. Keep laughing, keep laughing! I said I'm not going to stop, and nobody's allowed to stop. Look how happy you're all laughing."

Seeing this, the slender Wu Hong nodded in satisfaction.

Supported by their powerful lung capacity, the laughter of the True Disciple Sect of the Primeval Desolation Hall spread far and wide, causing people from all walks of life to look at each other in bewilderment.

"Damn, that scared me. I knew it was those lunatics from the Primeval Desolation Hall acting crazy again. I told you they're all muscle and no brains!"

"Wu Hong may not have grown muscles, but he also doesn't have a brain."

"Shh, keep your voices down. Aren't you afraid of getting surrounded by those Muscle Man and having your asses punched so hard they'll shit themselves?"

When Dao Sect arrived at the core of the Crimson Basin, he encountered this comical scene.

The various groups looked at each other in bewilderment, except for a group of muscular men from the Primeval Desolation Hall who were putting on a forced smile, laughing so happily.

"It seems the pressure of the Sect Competition is indeed too great. Look, it has True Disciple a group of physically strong disciples of the Primeval Desolation Hall to madness."

"Yes, yes, so pitiful."

From time to time, voices of pity could be heard from the Dao Sect group that had landed.

Within the Yuan Sect camp.

"Lin Dong! Dao Sect! They actually dare to come to the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury!!!"

Holding a long black iron sword, the Little Yuan King Yuan Cang stood up, his killing intent surging forth, and his face grim as he said:

"I, Yuan Cang, never break my word. If I say I'll kill all the disciples of the Dao Sect, I will kill Dao Sect. This is a good burial ground. Let's also show the Super Sect of the Eastern Xuan Region what the consequences of offending our Yuan Sect are!!"
