Yue Cheng understood everything when he saw Zi Linglong’s gloomy gaze. He did not want to die, so he fell to his knees without hesitation. After all, pride and reputation were nothing when one’s life was at risk.
‘Tjust want to survive. Why is it so hard? Yue Cheng signed inwardly.
Everyone was even more shocked at the scene before them than at Ximen Guanhai’s death.
Laoyang Peaks First Seat let out a sigh. He walked up to Yue Cheng and sealed his mana. He had already known Yue Cheng’s identity through Chang Yiming.
“What’s going on?” The Sect Master asked. He had no idea why but he did not have a good feeling about this.
After all, nothing could make a First Seat fall to his knees unless something big had happened.
Zi Linglong stood at her spot without saying anything.
Everyone focused on Yue Cheng.
“Senior Brother!” Yue Cheng let out a bitter laugh. He first looked at Zi Linglong and asked, “How and when did you find you?”
“Along time ago,” Zi Linglong said, “You can’t wrap up a fire with paper, and there are no secrets in this world. It’s just that I didn’t expect you would confess yourself.”
“I regretted it. I truly regretted it. I was tormented day and night. I couldn’t even sleep at night, and I was constantly condemned by conscience! Now that you’ve busted me, it actually makes me feel relieved. I want to live in constant fear that other people will discover my identity, so I decided to confess
myself,” Yue Cheng said. His eyes were red, and his voice was deep. “I was rescued by the Sect Master of the Yinmo Sect in the past. He took me in as his disciple, and I don’t know how but he managed to slip me into the Jiuyang Sect. With their support, my cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds. I
managed to achieve countless feats and finally became the First Seat.”
‘The Sect Master was stunned.
Other than the First Seat of Laoyang Peak, the rest of the people were shocked as well.
All of them couldn’t believe that one of the First Seats was a member of the devil sect.
‘The Sect Master approached Yue Cheng, his face grim. “So you were behind the incident in Chuyang Peak that year?”
“yes!”
“Why?”
“Because we need power. We want to take control over everything!”
‘The Sect Master closed his eyes after he heard what Yue Cheng said.
“Both you and I grew up together. We went through countless challenges. We vanquished many demons together. We explored the world as a team, and we survived through thick and thin together, and now you’re telling me that you’re the disciple of the Yinmo Sect?!”
The Sect Master was sad.
He just lost his disciple, and now he was going to lose one of his own brothers again.
Just when he was about to keep asking, someone came into the hall.
A member of the Jiuyang Sect rushed in and said anxiously to the Sect Master, “This is Lin Han, the Holy Son of the Qingyun Sect. He came here for a visit, so I brought him into the mountain. Just when I was going to inform you about his arrival, he barged into the hall. I couldn’t stop him!”
“Don’t blame him, Sect Master,” Lin Han said. There was a smile on his face. “I heard that there is a remaining member of the Yinmo Sect in the Jiuyang Sect, so I couldn’t help myself and come in to check it out myself.”
“Amitabha!” Hui Xin also walked into the hall. “Everyone from the devil sect is evil to the core. They had destroyed the Eastern Region and wreaked havoc on the Western Side. They’ve committed such a great crime that they can’t be forgiven.”
‘The Sect Master was angered, and the rest of the people’s faces turned dark.
“Tm sorry, but this is the Jiuyang Sect’s internal affairs, so please help yourself and leave immediately!” The Sect Master said, his voice stern.
“Well, it’s true, but when it involves the remaining members of the Yinmo Sect, it’s no longer an internal affair. Rather, it’s a matter involving everyone in the Eastern…” Lin Han came to a short pause before continuing his sentence, “No, I should put it this way. It’s a matter that involves everyone from
every side of the world!”
“That’s right,” Hui Xin chimed in and modded.
Both of them had joined forces at this moment.
“Sect Master Yan Yan, could it be that you’re going to protect a remaining member of the Yinmo Sect?” Lin Han raised his voice and asked, “Could it be that here is also one of the lairs of the Yinmo Sect?”
“Shut your d*mn mouth!” Dongfang Lie roared, “Even though you’re the Holy Son of the Qingyun Sect, you can’t simply sling mud at us like this. Now, please get out of here!”
“Leave this place immediately!” Hao Cheng, the First Seat of Shaoyang Peak, stood up. His eyes were filled with anger.
He had already stepped into the Primal Spirit Realm.
He was a person of few words, but he would say it decisively whenever he decided to speak.
“Hah!” Lin Han laughed, “Are you guys getting mad because we’ve found out your secret? What are you going to do now? Kill both of us?”
He was here to investigate the Jiuyang Sect’s secret. Little did he expect that he heard the conversation in the grand hall the moment he arrived, and he was overjoyed.
‘This is… This is great! This is just great! After knowing their secret, I can do whatever I want with the Jiuyang Sect. Perhaps, I can even get Zi Linglong to my side! Today must be my lucky day!’
Clank!
Hao Chen drew his sword, but Lin Han was not perturbed.
“Don’t do it, Hao Chen!” The Sect Master hastily went forward and stopped Hao Chen. He suppressed his anger and looked at the two people. “Please, leave the Jiuyang Sect immediately!”
“Sect Master Yan Yan, I represent the Qingyun Sect now,” Lin Han said as he lifted his chin arrogantly.
“So? What do you want?” Linglong walked over. There was a cold smirk playing on the corner of her lips.
“Tt isn’t what I want. It’s what you want,” Lin Han said, “Who could’ve thought that the Jiuyang Sect would protect a person from the Yinmo Sect. I guess no one could sit still and ignore it when they heard about it.”
Linglong ignored him and looked at the Sect Master. “Can I kill him:
Lin Han’s expression changed.
He was very well aware of Zi Lingling’s strength and ruthlessness.
She had no qualms about killing and defeating countless geniuses in the past, so he was certain that she would do it when she said she wanted to kill him.
“That said, we’re at the grand hall of the Jiuyang Sect. I suppose she wouldn’t dare to kill me here, right? Lin Han thought inwardly.
The Sect Master let out a bitter smile.
‘Kill him? If I could kill him, I would’ve done it a long time ago. I didn’t have to wait until you asked me that. Besides, he represents the Qingyun Sect. If we kill him now, it will be waging war against the Qingyun Sect. Maybe we should do it at night?
However, before he could say anything, Zi Linglong had dashed and charged toward Lin Han.
“Not only did you barge into the grand hall of the Jiuyang Sect without any permission, but you even have the audacity to twist the truth and throw mud at us? I should just kill you here and now!”
Slap!
Even though Lin Han was prepared for it, he was still sent flying into the distance by Zi Linglong, leaving a trail of blood in the air.
“And you also! Do you really think I don’t know what you came here for? You’re here to seize our land, so you’re not welcomed here as well! Get lost!”
Zi Linglong slapped Hui Xin and sent him out of the hall.
“The Holy Son? The head disciple? Bullsh*t! Don’t you ever come back again! If not, I’ll kill all of you!” Zi Linglong said as she conjured five sword energies on her back. She threw all of them at Lin Han and Hui Xin, seriously injuring them while sending them flying several hundred meters away.
She did not kill them in the end. After all, it was not the right time to do it right now.
All of the disciples came out and looked at Zi Linglong admiringly. However, the group of First Seats all let out a bitter smile.
“Linglong, both of them are the disciples of a Sacred Land. How are we going to fend them off if they join forces and attack us in the future?” The Sect Master said helplessly.
“Don’t worry. I have the confidence to defeat all of them if they come at us,” Zi Linglong said. She looked in another direction and frowned slightly when she noticed something.
“Anyway, don’t worry about anything, Sect Master,” she said after she suppressed the doubt in her heart.
After she had finished speaking, she flew toward Chuyang Peak.
‘Don’t worry about anything? Are you kidding me? If it wasn’t because I couldn’t defeat you, I would’ve punished you a long time ago. Do you know the consequences of offending two Sacred Lands?
‘The more the Sect Master thought about it, the more he wanted to cry.
“What should we do now, Sect Master?” Laoyang Peak’s First Seat asked.
“What should we do? There’s nothing we can do now,” the Sect Master replied, shaking his head helplessly.
He then waved his hand and activated the protective formation.
After he went back to the hall, he looked at Yue Cheng, and a surge of killing intent filled him. Yue Cheng’s heart sank, and he said, “I… I’ve told you everything, and you still want to kill me?”
Outside of the Jiuyang Sect, Lin Han stood up from a deep hole. He wiped the blood that lined the corner of his lips, and his face was contorted with rage.
As the Holy Son, he had been treated like this before.
“Elder!” He shouted into the air. “Why didn’t you help me just now?”
“If I showed up just now, both of us would be dead here. Anyway, let’s get out of here first!” An elder appeared in front of Lin Han, his face stern. He grabbed Lin Han and quickly left.
At the same time, he said, “There was a sword energy locking on me just now. If I made a move, I would be dead.”
“There’s someone who can kill you in the Jiuyang Sect?” Lin Han asked in shock. However, he soon came around to his senses and asked, “Could it be that this is the secret they’ve been hiding?”
The elder did not reply.
Suddenly, he sensed something and looked in another direction. He frowned, but he decided not to care about it and kept on running.
“Amitabha! This place is truly a place full of monsters!”
Hui Xin stood up. He looked at Lin Han for a moment before leaving as well.
On Chuyang Peak, Jiang Ming looked into the distance. He was not looking at either Lin Han or Hui Xin. Instead, he was looking at the mountain on the other side.
Both Linglong and the elder who took Lin Han away could sense something over there, but they couldn’t tell it very clearly. However, Jiang Ming could sense it very clearly.
‘There was a person there.
He had a strange presence, and it was very clear to him that he did not come here with good intentions.
