Chapter 771: Chapter 766: Investigation Part Four

"Senior... junior didn’t know...."

Before his words finished, he felt a sudden flash of red light before his eyes.

The two elders beside him screamed and lunged forward, desperately trying to block.

Pu Pu!!

Both exploded simultaneously, turning into two clouds of blood mist.

"Young Master, hurry....!!!"

Before the last shout could spread, both were already completely annihilated.

"I don’t need your nonsense."

Lin Xin’s eyes showed a trace of impatience. He withdrew his finger. It was merely a Sword Finger Sword Qi, yet the opposition paid a heavy price.

At his current stage, he could already be called a great cultivator in others’ eyes.

The Young Master, terrified, stepped back repeatedly, his face deathly pale and his chest heaving frantically, barely daring to breathe heavily.

"The altar, the altar....open it now....!" his teeth chattering.

The other group of Soul Sect cultivators all stiffened, showing the ferocity of Green Lake Mountain.

A group of people hurriedly went down to prepare to open the altar.

"Senior...."

On the other side, Bi Luo and other loose cultivators all breathed a sigh of relief.

"You just said that you just came out from there?"

Lin Xin looked towards the group.

"Yes, yes, yes!!!"

The group hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"You, you, you! Follow me inside." Lin Xin casually selected the highest cultivation among the loose cultivators.

The selected individuals, including Bi Luo and two others, one a chubby elder and the other a petite female cultivator in a white dress adorned with various small pouches.

The three selected, their faces pale as earth, dared not show the slightest defiance. They had just escaped the wolf’s lair only to encounter even fiercer predators.

The group of loose cultivators didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.

The cultivators of Green Lake Mountain have never been reasonable; any defiance means being crushed mercilessly, killed without a place to plead.

But because of Green Lake Mountain’s overpowering strength, even though it oppressed other sects unbearably, still no one dared speak out.

The Soul Sect people busied themselves, and soon activated the altar.

Looking from afar, a golden skeleton head appeared above the snow-white altar, slowly opening and closing as if speaking.

Suddenly, the skeleton head dispersed, and a yellow, oval-shaped portal appeared above the altar.

"Senior, the portal has opened!"

The Soul Sect Young Master immediately transmitted his voice to Lin Xin.

"You can all get lost now."

Lin Xin, not wanting to waste words, stretched out his hand, and a massive force emerged from the void, directly grabbing Bi Luo and the other two, pulling them towards the portal.

He himself leaped down, landing on top of a grassy head, and took the three of them, vanishing into the portal in an instant.

Ao!

The grassy creature, seeing the suppression gone, hurriedly bolted, not daring to look back, dove into the ground, and dispersed into countless blades of grass, vanishing.

"Let’s go! Go now!!" Seeing the people gone, the Soul Sect Young Master finally breathed a sigh of relief, by then valuing his life much more than any Golden Origin Bloodline or whatever Bi Luo. First to flee was the wise course!

The rest of the Soul Sect people without a word released a black shuttle-shaped Flying Battleship, quickly boarded it, the battleship turned, and whoosh, disappeared into the horizon.

The remaining loose cultivators also rapidly unfolded their Escape Light, scattering like birds and beasts, vanishing without a trace.

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

Endless yellow sand swept across the land and sky.

When Lin Xin and his companions appeared, they were right in the middle of a massive storm tornado.

The whistling windsand trying to completely tear apart the four.

But a red Spiritual Light unfolded, and no matter how the windsand howled, they could not disturb the space around Lin Xin and his group.

"I need to find the center of the small world, lead the way!"

Lin Xin, not wanting to waste words.

"Yes!"

Bi Luo immediately responded first and led the way towards the central point of the world they had discovered earlier. That place, because it was sealed by the great mana of Demon God King Song Danhao, was inaccessible.

Because of the gap in cultivation, they only dared to watch from afar, but they still remembered the general direction.

However, she had not flown far when she was suddenly enveloped by an immense force and dragged at breakneck speed forward.

The force moved so fast that she couldn’t even see the surroundings clearly.

It felt like everything around her turned into a color-mixed paste.

The Protective Aura on her body instantly dissipated, and the skin and flesh were being blown back and rolled up by violent winds, forming waves of flesh, frightening her to urgently activate her Protective Barrier.

"Senior...too...fast!!!"

Her voice was already intermittent, speaking was extremely difficult as the wind made her Spiritual Energy erratic, causing intermittent breathlessness.

Bang!

With a loud noise, the surroundings suddenly quieted down.

Bi Luo and the others were dizzy and disoriented, and once released from the force field, they immediately sat down on the sand, gasping for air.

Lin Xin was already standing before an altar similar to the previous one. However, this altar was noticeably larger and had a faint female shadow floating above it.

Lin Xin extended his hand, gently pressing towards the void.

Snap!

An invisible barrier gap immediately appeared before him, and he strode into it.

"Foreigner...."

The shadow slowly began to speak.

"The legacy left by the Demon God King has already been taken away; there is nothing here."

"Are you the array spirit of this place? Have you seen this person?" Lin Xin waved his hand to display a light screen, which showed the delicate features of Lin Yaoyang.

The array spirit seemed not to expect his direct approach and hesitated for a moment, then looked carefully at Lin Yaoyang on the light screen.

"I have seen her, but alas, she has left," the array spirit answered indifferently. "She once tried to purify this minor world here, but unfortunately, she failed. Everything here has turned into sand and fell into ruin under the rule of Sand Sea Emperor Jiagu Xier.

Even among the ranks of Evil God Kings, Jiagu Xier is a terrifying existence in the top ten."

"Sand Sea Emperor Jiagu Xier.... Then where did she go?"

Lin Xin squinted his eyes.

"I do not know."

The array spirit answered indifferently.

"After the Demon God King left, Jiagu Xier arrived, stirring up a sandstorm. It scattered all those people into different worlds. There happened to be a space-time storm at the time, and if swept into it, it would be very difficult to find anyone."

Lin Xin fell silent for a moment, his lips slightly tinged with coldness.

"You know nothing at all; then... what use are you to me?"

A faint icy killing intent emanated from him.

"I...." The array spirit clearly did not expect his killing intent to be so profound. "I can help you calculate!"

She did not want to die, and with rapid thinking, she spoke much faster, replying urgently.

"My predictive power was once unparalleled in the world, known as Destiny Child. If you wish to know something, as long as there’s enough spiritual energy, I can help you calculate it!"

"Destiny Child?" Lin Xin took out a Jade Talisman and checked it, finding that Destiny Child was a title for a prophet from one hundred thousand years ago.

He had only appeared briefly in the Mortal Realm before quickly disappearing from the public eye. However, his predictive power, as recorded, was indeed very strong.

He had never deeply understood the art of prediction and had often wanted to study it, but for some reason whether it lacked the talent or something else, he just could not get started.

He had reluctantly given up on it afterward.

This trip failed to find Lin Yaoyang, but finding an expert in prediction would still be a gain.

"Then calculate, what are my plans for dealing with you now."

He looked indifferently at Destiny Child.

"If you calculate correctly, I will not kill you. If you calculate wrong...."

The expression on Destiny Child’s face turned visibly anxious.

She quickly formed Hand Decisions, chanting under her breath, a slender thread-like spiritual energy gradually wound around her.

For reasons unknown, whether distance or some other sort of barrier, Lin Xin could not at all sense Lin Yaoyang’s whereabouts.

"Next...." The array spirit quickly paused her actions, as though she had predicted something.

"Next is the time for our reckoning." An unfamiliar voice interjected.

The sky suddenly darkened and the sandstorm also came to a halt.

A vast expanse of darkness, like a shadow, swiftly moved across the sand, quickly enveloping Lin Xin and everyone around him.

Behind the altar, a huge fat man, carrying two crossed longswords, walked step by step towards them.

"An Earth Immortal?" Lin Xin felt something was off. The opponent’s aura was elusive, but it was clearly at the foundational layer, and not just at the entry level of an Earth Immortal.

In this star domain, even Yuan Jing was considered a strong figure in such a small place, yet apart from himself, there was another Earth Immortal who had arrived so swiftly.

"Shadow City..."

He turned around, facing the newcomer, and instantly guessed his identity.

The fat man was eight meters tall, wearing a reddish-brown leather garment, his upper half revealing a whitely ample belly.

Accompanied by a black-clad Taoist, along with several other monks whose auras were at the Earth Immortal level and radiated coldness.

"Who are you?" Lin Xin squinted his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Shadow City, The Great Saint Xing Pengfei!"

The fat man halted his step, standing a hundred meters away.

The expert of Shadow City!!

Bi Luo and others were already trembling with fear, and now their teeth rattled even more.

With Shadow City and Green Lake Mountain currently at war, with countless Heavenly Venerables and Earth Immortals killed or wounded.

The awful presence of these two massive forces at the same location spoke volumes, and even a fool could guess what it meant.

It was clearly a trap laid out for this senior of Green Lake Mountain.

And being caught between two powerful factions, for them, Loose Cultivators like driftwood, it was almost a situation of certain death.

Pu.

Lin Xin turned and took a step forward.

"A Heavenly Venerable huh...."

Though the opponent’s strength clearly had not reached the Heavenly Venerable level, the Evasion Attribute in his perception subtly warned him that the opponent was extremely dangerous, definitely at the Heavenly Venerable level.

This was a trap, and one that had been set for a long time.

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

Lin Xin slowly reached behind him.

From the darkness at his back, a strange longsword slowly emerged and arched out.

The people of Shadow City spread out, enclosing him in a fan shape.

The Great Saint Xing Pengfei slowly walked towards him, gradually picking up speed.

The sound of footsteps increasingly stomped heavily on the earth, shaking the ground violently around them.

Thud.

Thud!

Thud!!

Thud!!!

As Xing Pengfei’s pace quickened to almost a sprint, rings of dark energy surged out of his orifices, forming a black mist armor giant around him.

"Heavenly Extreme Nine Revolutions - Dragon Return!!"

With a flash of the blade, the double swords traced a mysterious path, and even with Lin Xin’s keen eyesight, he could not discern any trace of it.
