At this moment, having learned the true identity of the mysterious powerhouse, countless people breathed a massive sigh of relief and exchanged looks of wild joy.
They were not enemies! They were friendly reinforcements!
Feeling the pressure that threatened to crush them, the crowd no longer looked ashen; instead, they felt a sense of security. It was a case of being in pain yet happy.
Lin Cheng did not have time for idle chatter. He scanned the area, locked onto the bewildered elder of the Logistics Department, grabbed him with a large hand, and commanded, "Lead the way, we are heading to Beast Taming Mountain immediately!"
"Senior, I..."
"Less talk, move!"
Without waiting for the Logistics Department elder's resistance, he grabbed the man and soared into the air, vanishing into the distance under the awe-filled gazes of the Jingyun Sect elders. He was in a rush to save lives; there was no time to consider the feelings of the person involved.
"To carry someone while flying—this Venerable's strength is simply unfathomable!" The crowd didn't care about the abducted elder; being able to serve a Venerable was his honor. They were simply marveling at the senior's extraordinary power.
While a Foundation Establishment Venerable could walk on air, it was extremely taxing, let alone carrying someone else while traveling. Beast Taming Mountain was a thousand miles away from this location. The senior's strength was evident.
Along the way, in pursuit of extreme speed, Lin Cheng made no attempt to conceal his presence and unleashed his full pressure! He moved like a lightning bolt, crashing through the air and taking the most direct route! Countless powerhouses along the path looked up in shock as a streak of golden light flashed by.
"Holy crap, what was that!?" someone shouted as if they had seen a ghost.
"Over there!"
"Turn left three miles ahead!"
"Straight for fifty miles!"
"..."
The Logistics Department elder was held like a chick in Lin Cheng's hand, not daring to move, serving only as an automatic navigation system. The surrounding space blurred rapidly! Elder Zhang Feng was grimacing as the wind poured into his mouth, feeling that he had never experienced anything so thrilling in his life.
This speed was dozens of times faster than his own full-effort travel! Furthermore, this was aerial travel without any obstacles, a completely straight line, making it even faster. Under normal circumstances, it would take him at least three days and three nights of non-stop travel to get from Jingyun Sect to Beast Taming Mountain, even with his Grade Eight cultivation. But now, with the senior traveling at supersonic speeds, it would likely take less than a cup of tea!
Holy crap! This was thrilling!
"Senior, ahead lies the Mist Forest. There are great terrors within; even Xiantian powerhouses dare not venture deep. We should go around..." At one point, Elder Zhang Feng suddenly spoke up.
Ahead, an endless forest was shrouded in mist that never dissipated. Even from a distance, one could hear the continuous, soul-shaking roars of beasts. Those with weaker hearts might even wet themselves on the spot. Perhaps sensing the approach of outsiders, countless powerful auras rose from the forest, some even faintly comparable to Xiantian powerhouses.
Feeling these auras, Elder Zhang Feng's legs began to tremble! In normal times, he wouldn't come to this hellish place even if it killed him! In the Southern Region, the Mist Forest was practically a forbidden zone.
"Senior..." Zhang Feng saw that the senior showed no signs of slowing down while carrying him, and he nearly wet himself. Don't do this!
This is too dangerous!
Legend has it that even Xiantian experts dare not venture deep into this place, choosing only to linger on the outskirts.
It is even said that deep within the Mist Forest, even the ancestor of the Five Elements Sect once returned in defeat.
The dangers hidden within can well be imagined.
Lin Cheng turned a blind eye to Elder Zhang Feng's warnings. His heart was filled with extreme anxiety; under normal circumstances, taking a detour would be fine, but at this moment, his disciple could be facing a life-or-death crisis at any second. How could he afford to delay?
"Scram!"
Lin Cheng suddenly let out a thunderous roar that shook the air for a hundred miles.
The next second, a shrill scream echoed from the sky. A massive avian demonic beast had its meridians shattered by that roar alone, killing it instantly.
Its stiffened body plummeted to the ground with a thud.
Lin Cheng did not slow down; his pressure intensified as he activated the Nine Transformations of the True Spirit, drawing upon a continuous stream of the world's power.
Faintly, a terrifying tidal wave of energy expanded from Lin Cheng toward both flanks!
Rumble!
Carrying this massive energy tide, Lin Cheng transformed into a rolling surge, accompanied by the sound of thunder, pushing forward frantically. No matter what danger he encountered, he crushed it all!
An eighth-grade variegated tiger blocked the path—instantly pulverized!
Two ninth-grade giant pythons bared their fangs at Lin Cheng, only for their heads to explode on the spot!
A Xiantian demonic monkey was slapped into a pulp of flesh by Lin Cheng's palm!
Wherever he passed, the mist evaporated, and the forest collapsed in all directions!
The blocking demonic beasts were all killed. In just a moment, no beast dared to obstruct him anymore; they all fled in a frenzy!
Even deep within the Mist Forest, several auras comparable to Foundation Establishment erupted, but when Lin Cheng cast a distant glance their way, they faltered and slowly dissipated.
Xiantian experts bled!
Foundation Establishment cultivators retreated!
Lin Cheng, all by himself, tore a hundred-mile-long path of crimson blood through the forbidden-land-like Mist Forest with an attitude of absolute, domineering invincibility!
As this scene fell into the eyes of Elder Zhang Feng, he stood completely stunned.
His entire body could not stop trembling!
He shook uncontrollably!
"A-a-ahead... left, turn left!"
His voice was hoarse, his mouth dry, and Elder Zhang Feng began to stutter.
His mind kept replaying the scenes he had just witnessed. While filled with fear, he could not help but feel his blood boiling!
As expected of a senior!
As expected of a Foundation Establishment Venerable!
Domineering and peerless, killing gods and Buddhas alike along the way!
One man, pushing his way through the Mist Forbidden Land!
If this were to spread, who knows how many great sects would be terrified out of their wits!
Even ordinary Foundation Establishment experts would likely be left dumbfounded, thinking they were dreaming.
That incredibly vivid path of blood was truly hard not to be impressed by.
At this moment, Lin Cheng was overflowing with an extremely terrifying aura. Within a thousand feet of him, no living creature dared to remain, let alone step forward to block him.
That would be suicide!
The vivid path of blood behind him was a testament to that!
"How much further to Beast Taming Mountain!"
Perhaps due to the excessive slaughter, Lin Cheng's voice carried a chilling coldness that made Elder Zhang Feng shiver.
The next second, he hurriedly stammered in reply, "Senior, we are almost there. At this speed, in another half a cup of tea's time, we will reach the border of Beast Taming Mountain's territory. Three hundred miles ahead, turning left leads to the Beast Taming Mountain sect, and going straight leads to the Ten Thousand Beast Canyon."
Lin Cheng nodded slightly.
A small circular disk suddenly appeared in his hand, marked with several red dots. This was an array disk, comparable to a Xiantian spiritual artifact, and its greatest function was to sense locations.
Its drawback was a limited range.
However, once within a certain proximity, it could sense the presence of the array talisman holder.
With this, he could accurately pinpoint Meng Tangtang's location.
Without needing Elder Zhang Feng to guide him any further, Lin Cheng suddenly accelerated, locked onto a direction, and surged forward at high speed.
At the same time, the coldness in Lin Cheng's eyes grew heavier.
The light of the red dot on the array disk was becoming weaker and weaker, proving that his disciple's condition was not good.
"Beast Taming Mountain, no matter the reason you have imprisoned my disciple, today I will make you pay a bloody price..."
Hearing this murderous, muttering voice, Elder Zhang Feng's breath hitched. As he looked toward the direction of Beast Taming Mountain, his gaze gradually filled with a touch of pity.
Beast Taming Mountain was about to suffer a terrible disaster!
