Chapter 791: Chapter 716: The Situation Part 2

Stabilizing the deterioration of his body, Lin Xin then began to carefully examine and purify the toxin.

"The Fragrant Residence Soul Extinguishing Pill, according to the records, there are three areas where the toxin is most concentrated. We can use the Purifying Force to focus our attacks and remove the toxin entirely. This can achieve a 30% elimination effect."

Lin Xin supported the unconscious Lin Yaoyang back down and quickly focused his gaze on three locations on his body.

"First location, on the upper side, one finger deep into the throat, an area the size of a Copper Coin."

He gently pried open Lin Yaoyang’s small mouth, stretched out a finger, and slowly explored it into his mouth.

His finger entered a warm, smooth place and soon touched a small area where the toxin was concentrated.

That place was easy to find—hard to the touch, with a subtle burning sensation, indicating it had strong corrosive properties.

It was peculiar that despite the long duration, the corrosive quality hadn’t damaged Yaoyang’s throat severely.

Pressing his fingertip onto that spot, a stream of Purification Light slowly flowed from his finger.

A tiny point of white light appeared in Lin Yaoyang’s throat, visible even through the skin.

Within a short moment, the hard spot was thoroughly purified, restoring its original softness.

Lin Xin withdrew his finger and saw Lin Yaoyang’s eyes move slightly, the look of terror on his face significantly reduced.

He knew it had taken effect.

"Second area, a straight line between the navel and the perineum.

Third area, two fingers inside the posterior...."

These two locations were quite awkward.

Lin Xin hesitated for a moment, thinking that Lin Yaoyang’s soul was a reincarnation of both Xiao Lingling and An Ying, so he wasn’t an outsider.

He decided to let it go and gently lifted Lin Yaoyang’s skirt...

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

Standing before the warship’s observation window.

Lin Xin, with his hands behind his back, looked out at the endless void battlefield around the Bewildering Spirit Realm, where the white-armored warship cultivators were incessantly battling the Soul Sect cultivators emerging from the Bewildering Spirit Realm, as well as the Shadow City Dao soldiers and the Void Demon Spirits.

Bang!!

In the distant void, a silver disc suddenly lit up, sending terrifying shockwaves from afar.

Although it was over 30,000 Spirit Mile away, the intense collision could still be clearly felt.

"This is a battle at the Heavenly Venerable level."

Lin Xin understood in his heart.

After treating Lin Yaoyang and removing about 80% of the toxin in his body, although the toxin would slowly increase until it reached a threshold, this would last for quite a while without worry.

"It seems the Soul Sect was well-prepared." Yun Guang Zhi Zhu appeared beside Lin Xin, curling his lips, "All these people are just sacrificial pawns. The Deputy Sect Master you fought earlier was just an avatar stationed at their headquarters. They must have planned a full retreat long ago. You and the Heavenly Alliance were still a step late."

"Regardless, it’s now an undeniable fact that the Shadow City, Soul Sect, and Void Demon Spirits are colluding. The scale of war is tipping towards the Void Demon Spirits again.

With a Great Star Field vacated here, the Heavenly Alliance’s forces might struggle to sustain..."

Lin Xin said indifferently.

"Why do you care so much? It’s none of your business, anyways?" Yun Guang Zhi Zhu lazily picked his nose. "As the only Saint Heir of the Chanting Star Cult, if you speak out, you can have the Guardian Army deployed to suppress this Star Domain. But that wouldn’t benefit you."

"The Guardian Army is that powerful?" Lin Xin was slightly surprised.

"They are all Earth Immortals, and the Purifying Force is stronger than any other Elemental Energy, raising their combat power by one level. With the Formation amplifying their strength, you can consider the Guardian Army to be as powerful as two Heavenly Venerable avatars."

Yun Guang Zhi Zhu said casually.

"That strong?"

Lin Xin knew the Guardian Army was formidable but didn’t expect them to be this powerful!

"This is the strongest unit of the entire Chanting Star Cult, what else did you think?" Yun Guang Zhi Zhu glanced at him. "With Green Lake Mountain deeply involved in this catastrophe, the Guardian Army’s main role is not only to protect you but also to move you and your Land for God Worship to our headquarters in case of fatal danger."

Lin Xin was speechless.

"What are your plans now? How about coming back to our Cult and getting some sleep?" Yun Guang Zhi Zhu lazily flicked a piece of nasal debris. "This chaotic catastrophe, if you sleep for a few millennia, everything will pass! Anyway, when the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up."

Lin Xin was silent.

After a moment of silence, he slowly started to speak.

"Do you know about the Nether Mansion?"

"Of course, a colossal shadow world of instinct. I’ve been there twice. There are quite a few valuable things inside, but it’s also fraught with danger. The entrance and control are currently in the hands of Shadow City." Yun Guang Zhi Zhu said casually.

"I have cause and effect within the Nether Mansion."

Lin Xin glanced at him—dangerous? With Yun Guang Zhi Zhu’s cultivation, what could be dangerous in the Nether Mansion?

"Cause and effect? You find it strange, strange that I could encounter danger in the Nether Mansion, right?" Yun Guang Zhi Zhu revealed a smug smile.

"You wouldn’t know. The Lord of the Shadow Time in Shadow City is now the fifth generation master of the Nether Mansion. Prior to him, the place had four owners, all fallen in past catastrophes. Since the Lord of the Shadow Time took over, the mansion is filled with numerous ancient remnants, many primordial items are still well-preserved.

So, after several significant losses while exploring, they now harvest only the peripheral resources, simply using it as farmland."

"You mean even the City Lord of Shadow City doesn’t fully know the situation inside the Nether Mansion?" Lin Xin’s eyes narrowed, becoming serious.

"More or less, it’s akin to a giant prison that once held many extremely ancient beings and isn’t governed by the Myriad Realms Rotation Lotus, making it untraceable, so one must just explore it thoroughly."

"A prison?"

Lin Xin suddenly had some understanding.

"You know, the place can be occasionally visited for fun, but you can’t stay long as it will affect you. What cause and effect do you have inside?" Yun Guang Zhi Zhu curiously asked.

"I once owed someone a favor, someone imprisoned inside." Lin Xin spoke straightforwardly, not hiding anything.

"Now I plan to rescue them, any advice?"

"Uh... you’ve indeed stumped me.... No one imprisoned there can usually get out.

To be honest, there are numerous powerful ancient beings inside the Nether Mansion, and its secrets abound. The Lord of the Shadow Time wanted to recruit formidable hands, but to date, no success has been heard."

Yun Guang Zhi Zhu’s words sent a chill through Lin Xin’s heart.

What kind of person was the Lord of the Shadow Time?

Taoist Ancestor!

If even a Taoist Ancestor couldn’t extract people from the Nether Mansion, then with his current power, rescuing Hong Ye and others was unrealistic.

Bang!!

Suddenly, a black streak shot out of the Bewildering Spirit Realm, flying away like lightning.

Several Heavenly Venerable avatars failed to intercept it, allowing it to disappear into the deep void in an instant.

"Interesting."

Yun Guang Zhi Zhu was immediately intrigued.

’Star Region Manager is changing, all Sun Soul Mountain travelers, please return the way you came.’

’Star Region Manager is changing, all Sun Soul Mountain travelers, please return the way you came.’

The Heavenly Alliance messenger’s voice slowly spread within the warship.

Boom!!!

Before their eyes, the entire Bewildering Spirit Realm exploded like an orange-red sphere, shooting out blinding white beams, shattering into pieces.

An entire medium-sized world was utterly destroyed by the Heavenly Alliance.

The billions of lives within, many likely unaware of what happened, perished in an instant.

For those who lived there for generations, it was an apocalyptic catastrophe.

The grand Bewildering Spirit Realm explosion saw Lin Xin and Yun Guang Zhi Zhu simply stare in silence, both struck speechless by the magnificent scene.

Even a being like Bai Yun Whale Emperor rarely witnessed the destruction of a medium-sized world.

After the red sphere exploded, there was a burst of dazzling white light.

The brilliance lasted about half a minute before dimming. Next came a second explosion.

A mass of golden-red flames erupted from the original site, the spreading golden-red fire waves intercepted by a seal formation created by combined Heavenly Venerable avatars, preventing further damage.

Meanwhile, with the Soul Sect’s front line collapsing, countless black Void Demon Spirits resembling tidal waves started surging massively towards them from the distant void.

Heavenly Alliance’s myriad white-armored Dao soldiers likewise flooded out of the Golden Pupil Warship, heading toward the attacking Void Demon Spirits.

White and black fiercely collided, enormous shockwaves spreading far and wide, no less powerful than the aftermath of a clash between Heavenly Venerables.

Beep beep....

Lin Xin’s Jade Talisman emitted a sound, he took it out and saw it was a message from the Universal Heavenly Venerable.

’Lieshan, dear nephew, the battlefront is tightening, we cannot stay long. If you are willing, could you guard this place for a while?’

These few Void Demon Spirits, if only of low rank, the Universal Heavenly Venerable was clearly giving Lin Xin a chance to earn merit.

’I heard the main assault on Shadow City’s headquarters is underway?’ Lin Xin didn’t immediately agree, but instead asked.

’Indeed, the full offensive on the Shadow Realm has begun. What, dear nephew, interested in the action?’

’It’s not about the excitement, but I have important matters to settle in Shadow City, including obtaining an antidote for my sister’s poison.’ Lin Xin replied.

Although Lin Yaoyang’s toxin wouldn’t act up for now, it wasn’t a solution to leave it dormant.

Eradication required seizing the antidote from Shadow City.

The Universal Heavenly Venerable understood.

’In that case, dear nephew, you may head to the Star Gate and jump to the Central Star Region, where the siege is taking place. On arrival, use the Jade Talisman to contact the local Star Gate manager.’

’Thank you, Elder, for your understanding.’

After ending the contact, Lin Xin saw Yun Guang Zhi Zhu beside him, looking envious.

"Nice Talisman, directly contacting over long distances." This person didn’t seem like a Heavenly Venerable level expert.

"Heading back soon." Lin Xin smiled, turning back into the warship, intending to check on Lin Yaoyang again.

"By the way, how’s the Demon God King, Song Danhao now? Do you know, Elder Yun Guang?"
