Chapter 769: Chapter 764 Pursuit 2

"Please do not delude yourself, elder, our Sunset Sect is a subordinate of the Four Seas Fairy Mountains...."

As Hua Mei finished speaking, the eagle-nosed elder was suddenly seized by a giant hand of black vapor from behind.

Bang!!

Like crushing an egg, the elder burst instantly, a massive energy storm almost ignited, but it was swiftly and thoroughly absorbed by the giant hand of black vapor, leaving no trace.

"Dare to threaten me!"

Lin Xin’s eyes flashed with a sharp fierceness, and the black vapor hand violently swept aside.

Instantly, many Sunset Sect cultivators who had just gathered were all blasted away, exploding one by one.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

For a moment, the sky rained down large patches of blood.

"Young fool!!"

A beam of golden energy shot up from a distance, heading straight toward this side at breakneck speed.

"Seeking death!"

Lin Xin counterattacked with another grab, using his palm as a sword.

Boom!!

In an instant, the sky darkened as a surge of black vapor erupted from his hand, transforming into a gigantic black sword that stabbed straight at the golden energy.

After a few light sounds, there was silence; the golden energy slowly dispersed, and trace amounts of potential energy began flowing into Lin Xin’s body.

"Sunset Sect? Ignorant of death!"

He withdrew his hand, and the heavens and earth quieted.

Lin Xin paid no further attention to the large group of cultivators below, who were terrified. He suddenly transformed into a black line, shooting toward a black sphere at the summit of Snow Mountain.

Approaching the black sphere, a huge bright red Formation web emerged in the air.

With a casual grasp, he tore it open, swiftly drilled in, and disappeared into the black sphere.

Only after he had completely departed did the cultivators below start to rise up with their Escape Light, fleeing toward distant places.

If they did not leave, once the higher-ups of the Sunset Sect reacted and became outraged, those present would likely be implicated.

Yet, a small number of cultivators accelerated directly toward the black sphere, taking the opportunity to enter and avoiding the entry fee.

Among the cultivators who flew into the black sphere, two ordinary-looking cultivators dressed in grey whispered to each other as they flew.

"It seems he wants to make quick work of it."

"With the great calamity approaching, his departure from the Land for God Worship is naturally to resolve things quickly. We have waited a long time, but finally, he has come."

Another person spoke indifferently.

"If it weren’t for the Soul Sphere, I’m afraid you and I would never have recognized that this person is Lin Xin."

"Is everything inside arranged properly?"

"No problem. Just waiting for him to take the bait. Once he enters, he will undoubtedly die."

"Let’s also speed up."

The two mixed in with the crowd, quickly entering the black sphere and disappearing.

********************

Bang!

The armrest of the chair was instantly broken by a palm.

Within the Sunset Sect’s station, the red-haired man sitting high on the throne was furiously shaken.

"Elder Chen has actually fallen! We do not even know who killed him, or what status they hold! What use are you to me!?"

His voice was deep, causing the surrounding space to continually distort.

The group of cultivators below were so frightened that they fell to the ground and dared not speak.

The red-haired man stood up, paced back and forth for a while, and gradually calmed down.

"Is Luo Ya still inside?"

"Yes! Lord Luo Ya is still inside exploring."

A female cultivator quickly responded.

"If that Earth Immortal goes inside, he will surely discover what Luo Ya has done. The Azure Sky Secret Treasure cannot be compromised!"

The red-haired man frowned.

"Since he is a Sixth Rank, it can only be Elder Qiao and I who personally make a move."

"What about Mo Feiyan..."

The female cultivator asked with a frown.

"The Venerable will handle it."

After saying this, the red-haired man stepped out of the hall, flames igniting on his body as he quickly took flight, heading toward another mansion.

Within the mansion, circles of Spiritual Light radiated outward from the inside, with Formation waves rippling like water waves.

Moving through the Spiritual Light, the man landed in the courtyard.

"Venerable!"

He respectfully bowed toward the side of the courtyard.

A person slowly appeared from the side, wearing a tall crown, slim in stature.

"Has he arrived? That man."

"He has." The man nodded.

"Move all the Dark Star forces before he emerges," said the Venerable in an icy tone, "I want to make Dragon Serpent feel pain."

"But Green Lake Mountain... might expose our last bit of arrangements within the Four Seas Fairy Mountains."

The red-haired man expressed his concerns.

"No matter, Lieshan currently ranks in the top fifty among the elite talents in Green Lake Mountain. Killing him will not be a waste concerning our previous arrangements."

The Venerable’s expression remained unchanged.

"Including you, how many Earth Immortal ranks do we have available nearby?"

"If Elder Huang were still here, we could mobilize four individuals; that’s the limit," the red-haired man spoke softly.

"Four huh... For dealing with a newly promoted Earth Immortal, it should pose no problem. Killing him is simple, but he must understand the consequences of opposing Shadow City."

"Three Shadow Demon Great Sages have already made their moves, one of whom is targeting Yin Chuan and will pass by here incidentally to handle the target. We only need to hold off Lieshan to facilitate a Great Sage to infiltrate his body, potentially dealing a severe blow to Dragon Serpent."

Dragon Serpent Heavenly Venerable, among the numerous Heavenly Venerables of Green Lake Mountain, indeed had astonishing combat power and was able to hold his own against the veteran Heavenly Venerable of Shadow City from the start.

This lineage of Dragon Serpent Realm had actually caught the highest attention of Shadow City.

It was listed as one of the main loops in the assassination plan.

"The situation here isn’t too troubling, once the Shadow Demon Great Sage steps out, it’s only the Jiu Se Divine Lord of Green Lake Mountain who will be a bit tricky, the rest are trivial."

"But we must fight swiftly and decisively, otherwise if the other side realizes it was the City Lord who exhausted his Star Force to let the Great Sage leave isolation, there might be major complications."

The Venerable said solemnly.

"That Lieshan is just a newly initiated Earth Immortal, no matter how talented, he couldn’t possibly be that formidable," said the red-haired man confidently.

The Venerable slightly shook his head, not knowing why, he always had an inexplicable unease in his heart.

But the plan was extremely well-crafted, with everything under control, and the range of variables strictly calculated.

Under such an arrangement, what could there be that he had not noticed, making him uneasy?

The Shadow Demon Great Sage would arrive soon, originally tasked specifically to handle the Jiu Se Divine Lord, the Buddha’s Heir of the Buddha Domain, and the Demon God King Song Danhao. Each one was a top-tier celestial genius, with countless trump cards and extraordinary strength. Although all were still Earth Immortals with relatively short cultivation practice.

But even confronting one of them, he did not dare to confidently declare victory.

Being able to deal with Lieshan on the way and warn Dragon Serpent Realm already counted as an overkill.

"Is it Song Danhao...?"

The Venerable wondered in his heart, but could still not pinpoint the source of his unease.

He was stationed here for the Azure Sky Secret Treasure, which was of great importance, possibly related to something significant left here by Song Danhao initially.

The Four Seas Fairy Mountains had also discovered this, so they had sent people ahead of time to prepare.

Yet they hadn’t expected...

"Initial judgment suggests that Lieshan possesses the Earth Fire Nine Spirit Beads given to him by Dragon Serpent Realm, and also a robust body comparable to a mid-stage Earth Immortal, nothing else remarkable," the red-haired man whispered lowly.

"One more thing, the Chanting Star Cult has already declared him the Saint Heir. If their protector arrives, we cannot succeed."

"Don’t worry, whether it’s the Chanting Star Cult or Green Lake Mountain, they currently can’t spare anyone," the Venerable slightly shook his head.

"Either way, once the Great Saint arrives, we’ll plan further. Without the Great Saint, even if we can kill Lieshan’s incarnation, we can’t damage his actual fundamental Land for God Worship."

At the most, he would lose the incarnation and then regather it again.

"Understood."

*********************

In the depths of distant Void.

A purplish-red Star River, enveloping countless star planes, flowed slowly, extending from one dark end to another deeper into the darkness.

A jade-white flood dragon was slowly coiling its body, floating at the edge of the Star River.

On top of the flood dragon’s head stood a woman with long flowing hair, filaments extending over ten meters, as white as snow.

Her long hair almost covered the entire space between the dragon’s horns. Her forehead bore three golden points, paired with a delicate and perfect visage, giving an aloof, merciless, and transcendent divine presence.

"Tian Yin Dragon King, upon hearing the emergence of the Jiu Se Divine Lord, I knew you would certainly leave isolation."

A mysterious and grand voice came through the void.

"Though the Heavenly Demon Army Master is powerful, in the end, it is but a manifestation of the great cosmic void’s rules, devoid of rationality," the snowy-haired woman gently brushed her hair, revealing parts below the knees of her feet.

Her feet were astonishingly growing atop the flood dragon’s head, completely fused with the dragon as though both were one entity.

The woman gently reached out her hand and grasped lightly.

"In this vast Void, other than Yin Chuan, who else could possibly rival me?"

A faint trace of loneliness appeared on her face.

"Indeed, the reincarnation of Future Buddha. The Jiu Se Divine Lord is probably the most likely to completely end this era’s catastrophe," the voice agreed.

Tian Yin Dragon King released her hand, countless tiny silver light spots slowly drifted out with the wind from her palm, spreading leisurely in the void, drawing out a long trail of light.

"Six hundred thousand years ago, this was an agreement between me and the Future Buddha."

She seemed to sink into deep, ancient memories for a moment.

"Had it not been so, the Buddha Domain would perhaps have been breached by void demon spirits long ago. The six hundred thousand years of guarding, the Demon God King’s plans to resist are indeed extremely difficult. Truly worthy of being the king of thousands of Buddhas," the voice admired.

Tian Yin Dragon King no longer spoke, just gazed silently at the light spots in her hand.

******************

Headquarters of Green Lake Mountain.

Mountain summit.

Chill winds were pervasive, countless snowflakes like fragments of Flying Daggers, a common person here could be instantly dismembered.

Yet, in this raging snowstorm, three indistinct Void Shadows still stood.

"Tian Yin Dragon King has left isolation," said one Void Shadow softly.

"The strongest dragon of the current age, born from the origin of all sounds.

Tian Yin Dragon King must have appeared due to the reincarnation of the Future Buddha," another Void Shadow spoke profoundly.

"The last catastrophe was ended by her; if she intends this time..."

"We have no chips to persuade her."

The three instantly fell into a moment of silence.

"The heavenly path is clear, her chance in this catastrophe doesn’t reside in her."

One Void Shadow slowly revealed himself, surprisingly a white-robed old man with densely packed white rune wheels spinning slowly behind him.

"Our agreement with the Future Buddha of the past still holds."

"If Tian Yin Dragon King cannot wait..."

"The six of us together are not afraid."

"So be it."

"This is a time of old giving way to new, life and death but another Reincarnation. As long as we can fulfill our teacher’s wishes."

The three Void Shadows all nodded slightly.

"At all costs, protect Yin Chuan."

"This round of the Star Ranking might just decide the outcome."
