Chapter 384: Chapter 312: Leader of the Evil Sect

Evil energy, a unique existence in this alternate world, turned humans living in this realm impulsive, violent, and even cruel.

And if one practiced various martial arts and spells, it would further intensify this process, amplifying the negative emotions of the strong.

Even some experts seemed no different from madmen in his view.

Thus, the uncontrollable rampages that occurred lifetime after lifetime within Lin Xing, in the youth’s view, were inseparably linked to the evil energy.

The Evil Sect, according to the intelligence collected over many lifetimes by the youth, was an organization that rose a hundred years ago, specializing in various evil spirits and research on evil energy.

This organization had always acted in the shadows, every move incredibly secretive; although its members were few, each one was an extraordinary expert.

Especially since this organization almost never interacted with any worldly forces and lacked its own territory, related intelligence was even scarcer.

Besides that, what attracted the youth the most to the Evil Sect was the puppets they controlled.

These puppets bore striking similarities to Lin Xing’s father.

This made the youth even more interested in the Evil Sect.

To find the Evil Sect, they needed to find an expert from the Evil Sect.

...

The first Evil Sect member they found was a cultivator who called himself Bai Yun.

This Evil Sect cultivator had been setting up rituals that bred evil spirits in various places for years and spreading related knowledge.

Through this method, Bai Yun seemed to have crafted many puppets with the help of others’ powers.

When the youth and Lin Xing found Bai Yun, he was in an underground cave crafting a puppet that looked like a young girl.

Bai Yun turned around and looked at the youth and Lin Xing, saying coldly, "So, it’s been you two who have been tracking me for the past few months? After following me this far, what do you want to do?"

The youth said, "I have heard for a long time that the Evil Sect has been creating evil lands and evil spirits everywhere, and must have deep research on evil energy."

"We both are very interested in evil energy and want to join the Evil Sect to learn."

Bai Yun sneered upon hearing this, "This place isn’t a school, it’s not for learning your crafts."

Lin Xing, growing impatient, twisted his head and said, "Why waste words with him? Just take him down and then we can talk at leisure."

The youth helplessly said, "After all, we are asking for a favor, it’s better to speak politely."

"And you should remember to do more good deeds, don’t let power influence you..."

Looking at their arrogant expressions, Bai Yun said coldly, "Are all the young people in the martial arts world as arrogant as you guys?"

Lin Xing turned to look at him, grinning widely, "Old man, if it wasn’t for wanting to learn something from you, based on the things you’ve done, I would have killed all of you by now."

In the darkness, countless pairs of eyes suddenly lit up—those were the eyes of one puppet after another.

Bai Yun’s face contorted menacingly, and illusory figures appeared behind him, "You ignorant thieves, today I will blow you away one by one, then turn you all into puppets..."

The battle lasted only a moment, and Bai Yun, covered in blood, was already half-kneeling on the ground.

He looked at Lin Xing incredulously, "Who exactly are you? With such cultivation... it’s impossible for you to be a nobody."

Lin Xing said indifferently, "Tell us everything you know about the evil energy, and then lead us to the Evil Sect’s leader."

Bai Yun raised his eyebrows, "You want to meet the leader? Aren’t you afraid of dying?"

Lin Xing laughed heartily, pointing to himself and the youth beside him, explaining, "You might find it hard to believe and understand."

"But what I am about to say is the truth."

"Together, we two are likely unmatched in this world."

The youth, although silent, did not deny Lin Xing’s words.

Indeed, ever since Lin Xing had joined forces with him, they had never been defeated by anyone else in their lifelong struggle.

The young man continued to warn, "You’d better agree to him quickly because if you keep fighting, I’m afraid he won’t be able to resist using some cruel methods."

"After all, my brother’s temper is really not that good."

...

After communicating with Bai Yun for a while, not only did he share all the knowledge he possessed, but he also agreed to take the two of them to meet the leader of the Evil Sect.

"However, ’Evil Sect’ is just a name given to us by some outsiders, especially those worthless members of the Evil-cutting Sect who always like to call us that."

A severely injured Bai Yun patiently explained, "Actually, within the organization, we generally refer to ourselves as the Immortal Palace."

"Immortal Palace?" the young man curiously said, "That name sounds quite different from the way you all act."

Bai Yun huffed and said, "The founder of the Immortal Palace came from Kunlun."

"And Kunlun is the origin of the Immortal Dao in the world. Which of the nine major sects’ martial skills and spells hasn’t been more or less related to Kunlun?"

"Since the founder came from Kunlun, there’s nothing wrong with choosing such a name."

"Moreover, although the Immortal Palace has always operated in the shadows, its main purpose has always been to eradicate evil, support justice, and save the common people, doing truly significant deeds."

Listening to Bai Yun’s words, both the young man and Lin Xing felt somewhat surprised.

The Evil Sect, which had always been sneaky and murdering people everywhere, was actually aiming to save humanity?

Seeing their disbelief, Bai Yun huffed again and continued to explain, "Do you think the evil energy in this world has always been this dense?"

"No, this evil energy was forcefully infused into our realm a hundred years ago."

"And those capable of such feats are the people of Kunlun."

"The founder of the Immortal Palace opposed such actions, hence he left Kunlun, established the Immortal Palace, and aimed to alleviate the evil energy and save the world."

"All this time, as I traveled the world setting up evil sites, creating evil spirits, I did so to gather the evil energy and ease its impact on the people."

"Without those evil spirits that we created, this world would be even more chaotic."

...

According to Bai Yun, the current leader of the Immortal Palace had been residing for many years on a great snowy mountain in the far west.

And when the two men followed Bai Yun westward and finally found the place, what they saw was a ’person’ shrouded in layers of black mist, their face completely obscured.

Upon hearing the two men’s request, the figure remained silent for a long time, seemingly scrutinizing Lin Xing and the young man through the layers of black mist.

It seemed as if a pair of profound eyes were eerily watching them from within the mist.

"Agreed."

Unexpectedly, the Immortal Palace Leader readily agreed to their request.

From then on, the young man and Lin Xing stayed together on the snowy mountain, following the Immortal Palace Leader to study knowledge related to the evil energy and also researching Lin Xing’s issues, trying to stop his loss of control.

Those few years were some of the rare tranquil and peaceful yet fulfilling years.

Immersed in year after year of study, their understanding of the martial arts and spells of various sects, as well as the evil energy and evil spirits, deepened significantly, and they both elevated their cultivation levels to the peak of the third transmission.

With their extremely strong cultivation, ocean-like knowledge, their unique abilities, and mutual cooperation,

the young man and Lin Xing believed there was no issue they couldn’t solve in this world, and there was no one who could be their opponent.

Through the attentive guidance of the Immortal Palace Leader over those years, they also gradually realized that he was genuinely sharing all he knew.

The vast knowledge of the Immortal Palace Leader also earned their deep respect.

Although there was no formal master-disciple relationship, they gradually came to have the reality of that bond.

It was during this time that they learned even more about the inner workings of the evil energy.
