Reunion with Qing Zhi

"Wow, Grandpa, when did you arrive?"

Mu Lingshan's dark eyes widened instantly, and she rushed into the white-haired old man's arms with great speed, jumping around happily.

"Hehe, I had just arrived when Qing Zhi sent me three secret messages in a row. I had no choice but to force myself out of my seclusion and come here. There's really nothing I can do about him."

The white-haired old man smiled and caught Mu Lingshan, his smile very kind.

"Grandpa, with such a strong aura of Reincarnation, this person should be the Great Elder of the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe, Mu Tian, First Layer Reincarnation Tribulation expert, right?"

Lin Dong stirred, and he immediately understood the identity of this unfamiliar powerhouse.

"Go, if it weren't to add another layer of insurance to our plan, I wouldn't have bothered sending three secret messages to urge you."

A deep, resonant baritone voice rang out, revealing a handsome figure in Green Shirt.

"Disciple Lin Dong greets Master."

Lin Dong straightened his clothes with a solemn expression and respectfully bowed to the man.

"Hehe, I, Qing Zhi, don't have so many rules here. Come, Lin Dong, sit down next to me."

The handsome Green Shirt Man casually waved his hand, and after Lin Dong sat properly on the futon beside him, he smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, this should be our first real meeting, right?"

"Yes, the first time was in the Trial space of the Ancient Azure Dragon Hall, the second time was above the Demon City in the Eastern Xuan Region, and this is the third time."

Lin Dong answered honestly.

"Hmm, from what you're saying, it seems I'm not very qualified as a teacher~ Come, let me introduce you to some old friends."

Upon hearing this, Qing Zhi laughed heartily, then pointed to the people inside the hall and introduced them:

"You should have met Mo Luo and Mu Lan before. The one on the left is Chi Yun, the Great Elder of the Flame God Hall, and the one on the right is Mu Tian, the Great Elder of the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe, who is also Mu Lingshan's great-grandfather. His second brother is responsible for guarding the clan and cannot come."

"In order to carry out the plan of luring the snake out of its hole, I have called up almost all the friends I met in the Chaotic Demon Sea."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong greeted them one by one.

"Grandpa, after you came out of seclusion, did you help LingShan teach those despicable sharks a lesson? LingShan was bullied terribly by them before."

Mu Lingshan tugged at Mu Tian's beard and asked.

"Hey, hey, it hurts, let go. Listen to me, your great-grandfather was unfortunately in seclusion at the time, so your second grandfather handled this matter. The result is out, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Your second grandfather single-handedly stormed the Ancestral Land of the Blood Demon Shark Tribe, broke through their clan's Clan Protection Array, and killed one of their four Samsara Stage experts on the spot. Those old sharks didn't dare to utter a word and immediately handed over the culprit Shen Liao, and compensated with 600 million Xuan Yuan Pill and four Pure Yuan Treasure."

"It doesn't matter who the mastermind behind this is. What matters is that we got what we wanted. If the Blood Demon Shark Tribe dares to bar its teeth at the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe again, then I, your great-grandfather, won't hesitate to personally take action and completely erase them from the map of the Sea Demon Tribe."

Mu Tian endured the excruciating pain and gently comforted her, showing no trace of the dignity expected of a Cycle Stage Expert.

"Yes, yes, if they dare to bully LingShan again, we'll exterminate their entire clan! Exterminate their entire clan!"

Mu Lingshan raised her little head and shouted loudly.

"Hehe, Lin Dong, I am grateful to you for protecting LingShan back then. Since Mu Lan has already decided to give you the Undying Heaven Evolution Technique as a thank you gift, I will not say any more."

"However, you can use that Demon Shark Tooth openly from now on without any worries. My clan has already given instructions; it is our clan's spoils of war."

Mu Tian stroked his beard and looked at Lin Dong with a smile.

"Although we don't know how many powerful beings the Yi Mo will send this time, King-tier Demons will definitely appear, so I've prepared a great gift for them."

Qing Zhi spread his palm, and a palm-sized blue disc immediately appeared, covered with countless ancient runes, faintly exuding a chilling aura that could annihilate everything.

"Is this the Demon King Annihilation Plate, ranked sixth on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking?"

Lin Dong stirred, and he said.

"Yes, I successfully retrieved it from an Ancient Battlefield a few days ago. This Demon King Annihilation Plate requires the Ancestral Symbol Power to completely annihilate the King-tier Demons. Judging from your aura, you should have successfully refined the Thunder Ancestral Symbol. At that time, I will inevitably need to borrow the Three Great Ancestral Symbols within your body."

Because Mu Lingshan was present, Qing Zhi did not mention the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol, since the girl was still unaware of his identity.

"Actually, I have a better option here."

Lin Dong clapped his hands, and a palm-sized ancient yellow stone tablet silently flew out. The Demon King Annihilation Plate, which should have been radiant with spiritual light, immediately and obediently withdrew its brilliance.

"The Great Desolation Stele? In terms of its ability to suppress demons, the Great Desolation Stele does indeed surpass many Ancient Divine Object. However, I have other plans for it. I will use Mu Tian and the Great Desolation Stele as a backup plan to defend against the Yi Mo."

Qing Zhi stroked his chin and said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong immediately offered three seconds of silent mourning for that Heavenly Underworld King. This time, let's see who can save you. Your so-called backup plan is probably going to be your downfall.

"Lin Dong, this time you will be defending your title as the strongest member of our Human Race to prevent the infiltrating powerhouses of the Yi Mo from discovering the truth about the Thunder Ancestral Symbol."

"According to the intelligence I've gathered, Faceless Man Xu Xiu ranked second on the Rising Stars Ranking, is a pawn of the Yi Mo. In addition, the Yuan Sect has sent a powerful expert of the same level named Hua Chen to join forces with him. You and Xin Lian will be facing the two of them."

Mo Luo, who was sitting in the main seat, took over the conversation.

"They're just two at the Death Mysterious Stage, Major Achievement. Leave them to me. Even if they have Demon Seed that can Demonization, how strong can they become? They won't enter the Reincarnation Realm, so I'll still kill them without hesitation."

Lin Dong nodded slightly, then thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the Three Little Kings of the previous Yuan Sect that we captured last time spoke up?"

"Once they fell into my hands, I wasn't worried about them not talking. After extracting all the information from the three of them, I killed them without hesitation. However, they didn't know much about the Yi Mo, only about the Yuan Sect. The Yuan Sect is bound to become a great calamity."

When the Yuan Sect was mentioned, a dark glint flashed in Mo Luo's eyes.

"Everything Lin Dong said before is true. Now all the intelligence points to the fact that Yuan Sect is a human force supported by the Yi Mo. This leader of the Eight Great Super Sects in the Eastern Xuan Region has probably been completely Demonization."

"Once the Chaotic Demon Sea subsides, I will begin investigating the true connection between the Yuan Sect and the Yi Mo, following the clues to find the source, and then..."

"Qing Zhi said Youyou."

"The situation isn't as bad as Qing Zhi makes it out to be. There are still more than ten days until the Thunder Hegemony Tournament. Go and prepare well. We will definitely win this battle."

Mo Luo waved his hand, signaling Tang Xinlian to take the two of them down to rest.
