This sacrifice.
His cultivation first rose to the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and it even evolved the Su Family's three Blood Spirit Soul Sacrificing Banners into Heavenly Dragon True Fate Banners, making them several times more powerful than before.
It also broke through the Su Family's restrictions in one fell swoop.
How could the power of the heavens be compared to the Su Family? The restrictions were broken as soon as they were said to be broken.
However, what Lin Shuguang did not know was that the moment the restrictions on the Blood Spirit Soul Sacrificing Banners were broken, the Su Family, located far away in the imperial capital, immediately sensed the anomaly from the Blood Spirit Soul Sacrificing Banners.
A Clan Elder of the Su Family, who was stationed at the Ancestral Shrine, summoned someone to ask, "Who has the Blood Spirit Soul Sacrificing Banners?"
"Reporting to the Clan Elder, they are in the hands of Su Lengyue, the daughter of the third branch."
"Never mind, there's no need to inform her. I presume she has already noticed." The Su Family Clan Elder spoke slowly, as if this matter was related to Su Lengyue, and he didn't need to worry too much.
"Ancestor, has something gone wrong with the Blood Spirit Soul Sacrificing Banners?" the other person asked, bowing.
The Su Family Clan Elder pondered for a moment, "The restrictions I personally placed on them back then have been broken. I cannot deduce anything about the karma involved for the time being."
"Broken by someone? If someone can break your restrictions, Ancestor, doesn't that mean their strength is at least not weaker than yours?" the other person asked with some surprise.
The Su Family Clan Elder appeased him, "There's no need to panic. Lengyue is no ordinary person, and moreover, she has the Emperor's favor. There should be no trouble in Xuanyuan City... The fact that my restrictions were broken is likely not the work of human hands."
"What does the Ancestor mean?"
"At the moment the restrictions were broken, I wanted to intervene, but I didn't sense any trace of Martial Dao Will. There are likely two possibilities. Either some ancient power was triggered, or someone used some divine artifact."
"Could it be that because our Su Family has just received the Emperor's favor, someone is trying to cause trouble in secret?"
"At this juncture, anyone who dares to cause trouble is essentially displeasing the Emperor. But this matter is very strange... Just tell Lengyue not to leave the imperial capital for now."
"Yes, Ancestor."
On the other side of the Su Family, a young woman with a cold expression was playing with a long whip. Without looking up at the attendant beside her, she said indifferently, "I told Su Beichen to get over here to see me. Why hasn't he appeared yet?"
The attendant beside her whispered, "Reporting to the Eldest Miss, Young Master Beichen is still in the Central Continent. He claims to be ill and unable to leave for the time being."
"Nonsense! This brat took my Blood Spirit Soul Sacrificing Banners without a word while I was in seclusion, and now he hasn't dared to see me for several months." Su Lengyue gripped the blood-colored whip and slowly stood up.
She didn't tell the attendant that just now, she had already sensed that three of the Blood Spirit Soul Sacrificing Banners she had refined had completely lost their connection with her mind.
Back then, Su Beichen had "borrowed" her three Blood Spirit Soul Sacrificing Banners. After all, he was her own brother, so she let him borrow them. She turned a blind eye and let Su Beichen go to the Central Continent.
It was just that he hadn't returned for several months, and he was even evasive about her orders, not daring to come to Xuanyuan City.
Before, Su Lengyue thought that Su Beichen was afraid of being held accountable for "borrowing the banners." But today, with the incident involving the three Blood Spirit Soul Sacrificing Banners, she realized that things had deviated from her expectations.
She said indifferently, "Tell me everywhere Su Beichen has been this year and what experiences he's had."
After a while.
Su Lengyue spoke, "Prepare the carriage."
"Eldest Miss." The attendant was startled and quickly followed, "Where are you going?"
"To Demon Mountain first."
"Demon Mountain? Eldest Miss, something just happened there. Isn't it unlucky to go now?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and prepare the carriage!"
Lin Shuguang guarded himself within the spatial altar. After his strength reached a new level, he could increasingly feel the certain power that existed in this world.
"This world is unfathomable."
While sighing, Lin Shuguang also made a decision.
He wouldn't run anymore; he would stay!
These people from the Demonic Moon Sect sacrificed to the Evil God. If he could kill them and use them as sacrifices, he should be able to obtain many good things.
Lin Shuguang was not interested in those low-level disciples of the Demonic Moon Sect. Firstly, they had no value, and secondly, it would be a waste of effort.
To catch the ringleader, you must first catch the king!
Although Lin Shuguang couldn't defeat Marquis Gu, it didn't mean that the Demonic Moon Sect had no core members like the Blue-Clad Youth.
Now, the people of the Demonic Moon Sect must all think that Lin Shuguang was hiding and afraid to show himself.
But Lin Shuguang, with his superior skill and bold courage, was heading into the tiger's den despite knowing the danger.
At this time, turning back and lurking into the Demonic Moon Sect's lair would definitely be something they wouldn't expect, and it would be more convenient for Lin Shuguang to kill people and offer sacrifices.
"As long as the timing is right, this counter-operation will definitely maximize my benefits."
There were at least eight hours left before his night watch. This was more than enough time for Lin Shuguang to carry out his assassination plan.
Taking advantage of the unsuspecting Demonic Moon Sect disciples patrolling the surroundings, Lin Shuguang's figure emerged from the spatial altar.
He switched his Dao Pattern to Dark Prison, and his aura immediately became much more discreet, as if it perfectly matched the overcast and oppressive sky, blending into the surrounding shadows.
Lin Shuguang moved deeper, swimming like a fish in the shadows, and began to investigate the experts of the Demonic Moon Sect.
Ordinary disciples probably did not receive the Evil God's gifts, so even if they were killed, valuable treasures could not be obtained from the Heaven Sacrifice Talisman. Only those evil sacrifice cultivators who were deeply "loved" by the Evil God were the most valuable.
About twenty to thirty miles away from the town controlled by the Demonic Moon Sect, a small team of Demonic Moon Sect disciples was searching for Lin Shuguang's whereabouts.
Among them were three men. These three men were indeed dressed very differently from the Demonic Moon Sect disciples... Lin Shuguang guessed that these three were definitely subordinates of that Marquis Gu.
Target acquired.
Lin Shuguang equipped the Dao Patterns of the Dark Prison and continued to infiltrate.
Unlike when he equipped the Dark Prison in the Profound Connection Realm, the current Lin Shuguang, at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, finally felt the marvel of the Dark Prison.
Where there is no light, I am a walking Demon God. "Senior Brother Gu, what did that thief turn into? We've been searching for so long, yet we can't find him." Of the three men, one with a birthmark on his left cheek and a short stature spoke impatiently. He had been cultivating peacefully in the Demonic Moon Sect, only to have his practice interrupted by this sudden chaos. Anyone would be displeased.
The man in the middle, wearing an earring in his right ear, said sinisterly, "Don't you find it interesting? The key to the treasury was in our people's hands. How did that person get in? And how did they steal it? Especially the second door, which still had the protector's spiritual restriction, yet it was still stolen by the other party without anyone noticing. What does this tell us?"
"What does it tell us?" The other two looked over.
The earring man said lightly, "We have an inside mole."
"Watch your words!"
"How is that possible!"
The birthmark man and "Senior Brother Gu" interrupted directly, "Marquis Gu himself took action back then. If it was one of our own, how could he not have discovered it? Moreover, only a few people could break through the protector's restriction. They are all Marquis Gu's confidants. Even if we betrayed them, those people would not betray us."
"Damn it, Marquis Gu was planning a sacrifice tonight. Now that the offering is gone, what's the point of the sacrifice? I was waiting for this to gain the favor of the Evil God."
The earring man looked at the birthmark man in surprise, "What, are you about to break through?"
The birthmark man said indifferently, "Soon." His gaze, however, fell on "Senior Brother Gu."
Senior Brother Gu said calmly, "Tidy up and prepare to depart. Marquis Gu has personally set up a net this time, and our time is limited. If we delay too long, it will definitely arouse external suspicion. If the Black Prison is also drawn here, we might not be able to escape unscathed."
"What are you afraid of?" the birthmark man sneered. "I heard a bunch of newcomers arrived in the Black Prison. If they dare to come, I'll be the first to chop off their heads. Let's go, see if those women have found any useful information."
As he spoke, he stood at the door, making a move to open it.
"Boom!"
Just then.
A hand ruthlessly broke through the door from the outside and precisely and domineeringly grabbed the man by the throat.
Before the other two could even react, the door exploded, and wooden splinters scattered into countless fragments.
The birthmark man's entire body seemed to be controlled and suppressed by an irresistible force. He was sent flying back ten meters, smashing heavily into the wall behind him.
"Crack—" "Crack—" "Crack—"
Countless cracks appeared in an instant.
The birthmark man's body was embedded in the wall, bleeding from all seven orifices, his meridians completely severed by the opponent's power.
"You... Pfft!"
He spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
In the now incredibly silent room, it sounded particularly jarring.
Senior Brother Gu and the earring man snapped back to their senses at that very moment.
"Attack!"
As the two shouted angrily, before they could even draw their weapons.
Rumble!
The entire private room shook violently!
Ten meters away, Lin Shuguang's figure seemed to trail a surging, scorching wave of energy as he drew his saber and slashed!
The air was rapidly frictioned, emitting a piercing shriek.
The terrifying power of the Spirit Transformation Realm was in no way comparable to Lin Shuguang's previous Profound Connection Realm.
In an instant!
Man and saber became one!
Under the trajectory of his charge, the walls on both sides were ravaged by an immense force, exploding in mid-air, with countless cracks spreading out.
The whistling gale swept through the entire private room almost instantly.
It caused the clothes of "Senior Brother Gu" and the earring man to flap loudly.
The eyes of the two, widened in horror, reflected Lin Shuguang's cold, murderous approach—he descended in an instant, his saber descending from above like a Demon God's suppression.
Suddenly.
As "Senior Brother Gu" and the earring man's hearts pounded, they felt as if their hearts were being fiercely gripped by a hand.
They couldn't dodge!
Nor could they afford to dodge!
This saber strike shattered the heavens, and the explosive gale roared in their ears... From Lin Shuguang's arrival to the eruption of this saber strike, everything happened within a thousandth of a breath.
Witnessing such a soul-stirring momentum, the two of them didn't even have time to be shocked, let alone ponder Lin Shuguang's origins.
The threat of death was right before their eyes!
"Clang—"
The sound of a scabbard being drawn. "Senior Brother Gu's" long sword had only been drawn a third of the way out when, with a "splish," his head flew high into the air, blood splashing onto the earring man's face, which was etched with terror.
"Pfft—"
The sound of flesh tearing rang out again.
One saber, two lives!
Lin Shuguang stood firm, two headless corpses falling beside him. He turned, casually flicking his finger to send the long sword still hanging in the air flying.
The long sword let out a hum.
It was flung out like a hidden projectile.
"Pfft—"
It directly pierced the heart of the birthmark-faced man on the wall.
In the space of two breaths, three people were killed.
Lin Shuguang's face was calm as he threw the three corpses into his spatial altar for immediate sacrifice.
The three brought thirty drops of Golden Dew, equivalent to one hundred and twenty years of lifespan.
Lin Shuguang pursed his lips, accepting it reluctantly.
He took a step forward and vanished.
Ten minutes later, the Demonic Moon Sect disciples who had been sent away returned to the inn. Upon seeing the tragic scene, they were all terrified.
"It's him! It's that person!"
"He didn't leave!"
"Quick, hurry and notify the Elder in the back mountain!"
Somewhere in the small town.
Sword shadows flew everywhere. Lin Shuguang fought alone, his momentum surging with the Sky-Breaking Axe equipped, facing the combined attacks of five Spirit Transformation Realm Grand Perfection experts like a War God, yet he didn't fall behind.
The Sky-Breaking Axe was different from the Dark Prison.
The Dark Prison focused on concealing blood energy, suitable for assassinations.
The Sky-Breaking Axe, however, was like a War God's return, emphasizing an impregnable defense and surging blood energy.
Under Lin Shuguang's roar, the five Spirit Transformation Realm Grand Perfection experts were actually intimidated. Despite holding the advantage in numbers, they were being suppressed and beaten by Lin Shuguang alone.
"Let's go all out! Use the secret technique!" someone among the five gritted their teeth, their ferocity flaring.
He roared, like a clap of thunder!
The next moment, the other four, including himself, acted the same. Their arms swelled as if inflated, and the chests of the five turned blood-red, with blood-colored patterns flowing within.
The blood energy of the five erupted simultaneously.
They let out roars like ferocious beasts.
"Kill!"
The five charged madly!
Lin Shuguang's gaze sharpened. He could tell these guys had likely used their power after a sacrifice.
"The Evil God's power is somewhat interesting."
He took out three banners from his spatial altar.
Heavenly Dragon True Fate Banner!
If you can temporarily boost your strength, so can I!
If you have the guts, let's clash head-on!
This was the first time Lin Shuguang had used the upgraded Blood Spirit Soul Sacrificing Banner.
He tossed the three banners out.
They hovered around Lin Shuguang, and under a certain magnetic field, his blood energy erupted like a roaring furnace. At this moment, even his Demon God Body was faintly confronting the rules of this world.
The True Fate Realm could also be called the Realm of Rules.
Upon reaching this realm, Lin Shuguang could unlock his Demon God Body.
Although he was currently at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, with the might of the Heavenly Dragon True Fate Banner, he could infinitely elevate his strength to the True Fate Realm.
Aside from not having mastered the power of rules, his current physical body and strength were no different from that of the True Fate Realm.
"Boom!"
Facing the charge of the five, Lin Shuguang's eyes were indifferent.
With a vicious saber strike, he unleashed a devastating slash!
The first person to meet the attack, their swollen body, was like a balloon being squeezed and burst, blood spraying everywhere.
Their bones let out a series of explosive sounds.
"Pfft—"
The first person's bones shattered, and blood spurted from all seven orifices.
Under Lin Shuguang's ferocious and ruthless saber strike, he had no chance of survival.
Lin Shuguang flipped his hand and struck again.
The other four massive bodies were sent flying like goose feathers, the terrifying saber light reaching its absolute peak, countless saber lights crushing down.
"True! Fate! Realm!" someone let out the final gasp of their life.
Instantly! Their physical bodies were shattered, dying without a burial place!
