Chapter 1346: Chapter 1345 Traitors Will Never Be Forgiven

Just then, a hearty laugh echoed from the distance.

A man clad in black could be seen approaching from atop a distant cliff, his feet seemingly stepping on thin air.

With each step the man in black took upon the void, a black lotus would emerge beneath his feet, a natural manifestation of his Inner Qi that supported him like a staircase.

The man’s face was shrouded in a veil of dark mist, obscuring his true features, with long black hair reminiscent of ancient times.

He wore a long black robe, surrounded by strands of dark Qi, and radiated a chilling presence as if hailing from the depths of the Nine Gates of Hell.

After a few dozen steps across the void, he created a black lotus the size of a footbath beneath his feet, upon which he stood aloft in the intangible black lotus flower.

His hands folded behind his back, he looked every bit the Sovereign of the Nine Netherworlds!

To Lin Dong, his aura felt even more threatening than the aura of the Master of Black Sorcerer Palace whom he had faced before.

Indeed, the man’s strength must be greater than that of the Master of Black Sorcerer Palace!

Lin Dong, watching him intently, said coldly, "I presume, sir, that you must be the Master of the Hall of Dark King?"

Though they had never met before, Lin Dong had heard plenty about the Master of the Hall of Dark King.

And his connection with the Hall of Dark King ran deep.

His father’s Longmen had ties with the Hall of Dark King.

Lin Dong himself also had significant grievances with the Hall of Dark King.

Out of the Five Elders of the Underworld Palace, Lin Dong had killed four!

Moreover, he had certain interactions with the Saint Heir of the Hall of Dark King.

Even though he had never seen him, this person had sent assassins to kill him.

Now, facing such a powerful being, Lin Dong immediately discerned that he must be the Master of the Hall of Dark King.

The man standing before him now, in black clothing and with long hair, was indeed the Master of the Hall of Dark King.

He smiled faintly, "Time is like fine sand, slipping away in the blink of an eye, and in a flash, it has already been more than twenty years. The sons of old friends have already grown so much."

The ’old friend’ he spoke of was naturally Lin Dong’s father, Lin Zhantian.

It was clear that he knew Lin Zhantian!

Twenty years ago, he obviously had a hand in the siege against Lin Dong and his family.

Lin Dong spoke in a heavy tone, "So today, you went through great lengths to lure me here, for what purpose?"

"Is it to kill me?"

"If you simply wanted me dead, there was no need for such grand mobilization."

"After all, I have a life-and-death agreement with King Kunlun, Dragon Country’s number one. You could have just sat back and watched the tiger fight the dragon, letting King Kunlun kill me."

"That way, you would not have to risk my retaliation in an attempt to kill me."

"Hehe, you are very clever. Since you’re so clever, why don’t you guess the real reason?" the Master of the Underworld Palace laughingly said.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Dong said, "It must be for something I possess."

"Only significant benefits could compel people to take such risks."

"I believe you’re after something I have, which is why you’ve designed this trap, regardless of the risk of me fighting back."

Hearing this, the Master of the Underworld Palace’s expression turned grave, "You and your father are both monsters, not only in terms of Martial Way talent but also in wisdom."

"You’ve understood everything almost instantly."

It wasn’t hard to think of these things.

But to do so this swiftly is difficult.

This at least showed that Lin Dong was a very clever man.

Lin Dong smiled faintly, now turning his gaze to Lin Tiancheng, whom he held in his hand.

Lin Tiancheng’s body was shivering.

Lin Dong asked him, "Did you know from the start that I was Master Lin and they had you get close to me?"

Lin Tiancheng hurriedly said, "Master Lin, I...I didn’t want to. Especially after you casually helped me make a breakthrough to Sect Master, I was even more reluctant to harm you."

"But I had no choice."

"Because I had long joined the Hall of Dark King, and everything about me is tied to it."

"If I didn’t comply, it wouldn’t just be my death, my family would also die."

Lin Dong replied with a calm, ironic smile, "So, when you said you didn’t know how to thank me—that’s how you show your gratitude?"

Lin Tiancheng’s body quivered as he begged urgently, "Master Lin, I truly had no choice."

"My life, controlled by the Hall of Dark King. My family, too, controlled by them."

"If I didn’t obey their orders, both I and my family would die. Master Lin, you are so kind-hearted. Surely, you can understand me, right?"

"I can understand you..." Lin Dong nodded faintly.

"Thank goodness, Master Lin, thank you for being understanding. Thank you for sparing me..." Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Dong unleashed an overwhelming force that enveloped his being.

Suddenly, Lin Dong uttered a chilling sentence.

"I can understand you, but that doesn’t mean I’ll forgive you. Nor does it mean I’ll let you go."

"I will never let go of anyone who betrays me! Especially not someone like you, who keeps claiming gratitude!"

"And where did you hear that I was kind-hearted?"

With that, Lin Dong clenched his fist.

"Boom!"

Lin Tiancheng was crushed into a Blood Mist.

Having killed him, Lin Dong addressed the lingering mist once more,

"I could casually help you step into the realm of Sect Master, and just as casually, reduce you to nothingness!"
