The night is as deep as water.
Nan Yan Commandery Outside the city.
Ruined temple.
Extremely weird.
On top of the broken altar, a green will-o'-the-wisp was burning, pulling the shadows of the broken walls around like a group of demons dancing wildly.
The city lord Ling Xiaotian stood alone in front of the altar with a solemn expression. His powerful aura belonging to the fifth level of the Dan Yuan Realm seemed a bit insignificant in this gloomy environment.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Ling, I have something to ask for!"
As the words fell, the ground in the center of the altar suddenly slowly cracked open, and a figure wearing a blood-colored cloak, shrouded in shadows, rose up silently like a ghost.
The aura exuding from his body was cold and obscure, as if he was not a living person, but a walking corpse.
"City Lord Ling, why did you come here late at night? Did you forget the agreement between us?"
The blood-robed messenger's voice was as hoarse as two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together, full of displeasure.
"Promise?"
Ling Xiaotian snorted coldly, his face full of anger, "What a good trick you Moon Worship Cult! There is something wrong with the 'sacred object' in my daughter's body, and the restriction you planted cannot suppress the backlash! She is in danger now!"
"Oh? Really?"
When the blood-robed messenger heard this, not only was he not surprised at all, but he let out a creepy chuckle.
"Jie Jie Jie... You can't blame us. It's your daughter who insists on provoking that Demon Suppression Division evil star. That kid's sword intention is so domineering that he can even kill Old Demon of Black Wind's Half-step Dan Yuan Realm demonic body with one sword. Can the Sha Qi poison that has invaded your daughter's body be resolved by ordinary means?"
"You!"
Ling Xiaotian was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he was speechless.
"City Master Ling, now that the matter has come to an end, you and I no longer have to hide it."
The blood-robed messenger said slowly, "There is only one way to save your daughter's situation. That is to completely integrate her with the 'sacred object'!"
"No way!"
Ling Xiaotian flatly refused, "Once fully integrated, she will no longer be my daughter, but an emotionless monster created by you Moon Worship Cult!"
"So what?"
The blood-robed messenger's voice suddenly turned cold, "Ling Xiaotian, don't forget that it was you who took the initiative to come to us and seek cooperation! It was you who, in order to consolidate your position and eradicate dissidents, personally implanted the seeds of the 'holy object' into your daughter's body!"
"It was you who, step by step, trained her into the most perfect and deadly chess piece in this chess game!"
"Now that the chess game has reached the final step, do you want to regret it?"
These words, like thunder, revealed a shocking secret hidden in the deepest part of Nan Yan Commandery!
It turns out that the mastermind behind all this is not Ling Yue'er, but her father, the seemingly just and awe-inspiring city lord of Nan Yan Commandery, Ling Xiaotian!
For the sake of power, he did not hesitate to use his own daughter as a bargaining chip in the deal with the Demon Cult and cultivate him into a monster!
A trace of pain and struggle flashed across Ling Xiaotian's face, but it was soon replaced by endless ambition and ruthlessness.
"I need time!"
"No time!"
The blood-robed messenger interrupted him coldly, "The growth rate of Lin Feng is far beyond our expectations! He has become the biggest variable now! We must kill him before he fully grows up! And your daughter is our strongest trump card against him!"
"Tonight at midnight is when the moonlight is at its peak, and it is also the best time for the sacred object to fully awaken! We will send two guardians to personally protect your daughter and help her complete the final integration. And what you have to do is to mobilize all the power of your City Lord's Mansion to firmly drag those Demon Suppression Division fish in the city!"
"As long as the fusion is successful, your daughter will have terrifying strength comparable to that of the Dan Yuan Realm in the later stage! By then, not to mention a Lin Feng, even the Manager of Demon Suppression Division will only be dead!"
"When we take control of the entire Nan Yan Commandery, you will be the only king in this land! And your daughter will also become our Moon Worship Cult, the most noble saint!"
These words full of temptation made the last trace of hesitation in Ling Xiaotian's eyes completely dissipate.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Okay! I'll do as you say!"
However, the moment his voice fell.
"What to do? I think no one of you can even think of doing it today."
A plain voice with a hint of joking sounded behind the two of them like a ghost.
"Who?!"
Ling Xiaotian and the blood-robed messenger were startled at the same time and turned back sharply.
I saw a slender figure standing there quietly on the broken wall not far away.
He was dressed in black and held a ferocious red-black war blade. The moonlight shone on his body, stretching his shadow very long.
It is Lin Feng!
"You... why are you here?!"
Ling Xiaotian Seeing the person coming clearly, the ghosts of the dead emerged. He never dreamed that his most feared enemy would appear in front of him in such a way!
"Me?"
Lin Feng smiled, and he slowly walked down the broken wall, his deep eyes full of cat-and-mouse banter.
"Of course I'm here... to watch the show."
He pointed at Ling Xiaotian and then at the blood-robed messenger.
"It's a good show of 'a loving father and a filial daughter', and the collusion between officials and gangsters. To be honest, it's more bloody than I imagined."
"No! I fell into a trap!"
The blood-robed messenger reacted very quickly. He knew that his whereabouts had been exposed and he should not stay here for a long time!
Without thinking, he swayed and turned into a streak of blood, fleeing into the distance!
However, he just flew less than one foot.
"Buzz--"
Brilliant golden light pillars shot up into the sky from all directions without warning, instantly intertwining into a huge golden cage, firmly covering the entire Moon Worship Cult ruins!
"Four Symbols Heaven-Locking Grand Formation!"
The blood-robed messenger hit the wall of light with his head, and was burned by the power of the sun, and he let out a shrill scream.
Immediately afterwards, four figures with powerful aura slowly appeared from the four directions of east, west, north and south.
It is the four Bronze Token Envoy who have been waiting here for a long time, Chu Mengxi, Meng Kuo, Wu Yong, Liu Qing!
Behind them, there are dozens of the True Qi Realm elite Demon Slayer Envoy, each holding a formation flag and standing ready, surrounding the place with water!
"City Lord Ling, long time no see. How are you?"
Wu Yong shook his feather fan and looked at Ling Xiaotian, whose face had turned completely gray, with a smile.
"You... you actually..."
Ling Xiaotian Looking at this dragnet-like formation, my heart instantly sank to the bottom.
"Surprised?"
Lin Feng walked up to him and looked at him condescendingly, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"You think you treat everyone as pawns, but you don't know that from beginning to end, you are the stupidest prey targeted by the hunter."
"Lin Feng! I'll fight you!"
Ling Xiaotian knew that there was no luck today and went completely crazy. He roared angrily, and Dan Yuan Realm's fifth-level power exploded without reservation, and slapped Lin Feng's Tianling Cap with one palm!
However, he is fast, and there are people faster than him!
"Your opponent is me!"
A gentle but majestic voice sounded, and the figure of Silver Token Manager appeared in front of Ling Xiaotian at some point. He just casually stretched out a finger and lightly placed it on the palm of Ling Xiaotian.
Bang!
Ling Xiaotian That palm, which was powerful enough to crack mountains and crack rocks, was like a mud cow entering the sea, instantly disappearing without being visible.
His whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he stepped back several steps with a look of horror on his face.
"Do it!"
Following Manager's order, Meng Kuo and the others, who could no longer restrain themselves, descended from the mountain like tigers and pounced towards the Moon Worship Cult monsters trapped in the formation!
A siege and suppression that was already destined to end broke out in an instant!
Lin Feng, on the other hand, fixed his gaze on the two blood-robed guardians with the most powerful aura who had just risen from the ground in the center of the altar.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Let's have dinner, let's have dinner."
