Fellow Disciples Turn on Each Other
"But the entrance to the secret realm is guarded by Ancestor Lan Yin. How could they possibly hide it from him?" Hu Gao said.
Wen Lin's lips curled into a cold smile. "Senior Brother Hu Gao, don't forget what kind of relationship exists between Ancestor Lan Yin and Purple Cloud."
A look of disbelief flashed in Hu Gao's eyes.
"You mean, Patriarch Lan Yin agreed to let them enter the secret realm?"
"Any other possibilities besides this?" Wen Lin asked.
Hu Gao looked at Song Wen, and the hostility in his eyes gradually dissipated.
"Since you entered the secret realm with the permission of Ancestor Lan Yin, I will not ask any further questions."
Upon hearing this, Song Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, what Wen Lin said next made Song Wen's expression suddenly darken.
"Senior Brother Hu Gao, you're foolish. Purple Cloud is willing to cooperate with the demonic path and was even able to persuade Ancestor Lan Yin; their schemes must be far-reaching. Right now, all three of them are either injured or crippled, their strength greatly diminished, and they have no power to resist. How can we let this fortuitous opportunity slip by?"
A glint of light flashed in Hu Gao's eyes; he was clearly moved by Wen Lin's words.
But then he hesitated.
"But Patriarch Lan Yin is still guarding outside the secret realm. If we attack those three, how will we explain it to him afterwards?"
"As long as the three of them completely disappear from this secret realm, Ancestor Lan Yin will only believe that their plan failed and they were killed by the Demon Beast in the secret realm."
Wen Lin made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent towards Song Wen and the other two.
She concluded that Song Wen and the other two could no longer pose a threat to her and Hu Gao.
A cold glint flashed in Hu Gao's eyes.
"Wen Lin is right. Senior Sister Purple Cloud was killed by Demon Beast. What does it have to do with you and me!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them moved, transforming into two streaks of light and attacking Song Wen.
Song Wen was the only one of the three who could stand, so naturally, Song Wen had to be dealt with first.
Song Wen shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He had hoped to maintain peace, but the two were determined to bring about their own demise.
"Extreme Yin, don't hold back, kill them." Purple Cloud's voice came from behind Song Wen.
Hu Gao and Wen Lin's actions had already alerted Zhu Yin and Purple Cloud, but they had no intention of making a move, and remained seated on the ground without even touching the ground.
It's unclear whether their strength was too depleted to withstand Hu Gao and Wen Lin, or whether they trusted Song Wen to easily resolve the current crisis.
"Arrogant! He's about to die and still doesn't realize it."
Wen Lin scoffed, and a flying sword suddenly appeared, aiming straight for Song Wen's face.
Although she maintained a confident demeanor throughout, she had actually fallen behind Hu Gao by half a step, intentionally or unintentionally.
Facing Hu Gao and Wen Lin rushing towards them, Song Wen's eyes revealed a chilling killing intent.
A glint flashed between his brows, and two transparent blades shot out, aiming straight for the two men's brows.
"Soul-Concentrating Spike!"
Hu Gao and Wen Lin looked shocked, clearly aware of the power of the <Soul-Concentrating Spike>.
Hu Gao hurriedly summoned a palm-sized jade pendant, which was a soul defense Law Treasure.
Just as he was about to activate the jade pendant, he felt a gust of wind coming from behind him.
Wen Lin suddenly darted behind him and slapped him on the back.
Because Hu Gao's mind was focused on fighting the Soul-Concentrating Spike, and he never expected Wen Lin to attack him, he was caught off guard and was struck squarely by Wen Lin's palm.
This palm strike was powerful and heavy. Hu Gao's body was completely out of control, and he was suddenly sent flying forward, crashing into the two Concentration Soul-Concentrating Spike that were shooting towards him.
Wen Lin's palm strike also disrupted the flow of Law Power within Hu Gao's body, causing him to miss the opportunity to activate the jade pendant.
He could only watch helplessly as two Divine Sense Blade pierced his skull.
"Ah..."
It felt as if countless needles were piercing Hu Gao's soul.
The excruciating pain emanating from his very soul made Hu Gao feel every cell trembling in agony, causing him to let out a piercing scream.
His body suddenly plummeted to the ground, crashing heavily onto the hard surface.
At the same time, Wen Lin used the recoil from that palm strike to suddenly float backward.
"Trying to escape? Too late!" Song Wen let out a cold laugh.
Several blood-red tentacles suddenly extended from his chest.
These blood-red tentacles, like the claws of a demon, lunged at Wen Lin with bared fangs.
As Wen Lin fled, he summoned his flying sword and slashed at the numerous tentacles that were swirling around him.
The sword flashed, intertwining with the blood-red tentacles, producing a clanging sound of metal clashing.
The tentacles formed from the Blood Sea Seal were exceptionally tough; Wen Lin's flying sword could only repel them, but could not destroy them.
Wen Lin was immediately surrounded by numerous tentacles.
She kept urging her flying swords, which danced rapidly around her like an impenetrable net of swords, blocking the tentacles that were attacking her frantically from all directions.
Suddenly, a Divine Sense Blade struck. Without any soul-defense Law Treasure, Wen Lin could only let the Divine Sense Blade pierce into his Sea of Consciousness.
Wen Lin's body suddenly stiffened, and his flying sword went out of control.
A tentacle seized the opportunity to wrap around Wen Lin's body, then lifted him high, coiled around Wen Lin, and slammed him heavily onto the ground.
The immense impact shattered the rocks on the ground and also dispersed the Law Power flowing within Wen Lin's body, rendering her unable to mobilize Law Power to resist.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The dull thuds of impact continued to ring out.
Wen Lin was wrapped in tentacles and slammed to the ground repeatedly.
Each impact made her feel as if her bones and internal organs were about to be shattered.
After dozens of impacts, the tentacles finally stopped.
At this point, Wen Lin was completely unrecognizable.
She was covered in dust and blood, her clothes were torn and tattered, revealing her mangled body.
However, these shocking external injuries are insignificant compared to the internal injuries.
Wen Lin suffered fractures in half of his bones and severe damage to his internal organs.
The tentacles wrapped around Wen Lin and threw her in front of Purple Cloud.
Hu Gao was also thrown over; a tentacle pierced his abdomen, leaving a gaping hole the size of a large bowl.
Purple Cloud's shocked expression was tinged with a hint of doubt.
She was shocked that Song Wen had captured two Late Golden Core Stage cultivators so easily. It should be noted that Song Wen's Law Power was severely depleted, and his strength was far from its peak.
She was puzzled that Song Wen hadn't killed Hu Gao and Wen Lin, and it seemed he was going to hand them over to her to deal with.
"Extreme Yin, aren't you going to kill them?" Purple Cloud asked.
Song Wen said, "They must die, but I won't do it myself. You will handle them."
"Why is that?" Purple Cloud asked.
"I promised Lan Yin that I would not harm any members of the Two Forms Sect," Song Wen said.
Purple Cloud looked at the dying Hu Gao and Wen Lin with a strange expression.
Isn't this considered taking action?
Purple Cloud shook her head, no longer dwelling on the matter. Since Song Wen wanted her to kill, she would do it.
Who told Hu Gao and Wen Lin to court their own demise?
Purple Cloud raised her hand and unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, shattering the heads of Hu Gao and Wen Lin.
