Coming
Zhong Ling didn't care what they thought and walked leisurely towards the Lin family.
People automatically made way for her, and everyone who passed by held their breath, lowered their heads, and dared not look directly at her.
Tianjian Sect, Sect Hall
Lu Wuya and his disciples rushed into the hall, tumbling and crawling, looking in a miserable state. Zhang Lingfeng, in particular, had a look of fear on his face, without any trace of the arrogance he had in Tianshu City.
At the top of the hall sat a middle-aged man with a handsome face. He was the leader of the Tianjian Sect - Zhang Chengying.
"Father!" Zhang Lingfeng burst into tears when he saw Zhang Chengying. "You have to make the decision for me!"
Lu Wuya bowed and said, "Master, we...we have failed to live up to the trust of the sect. Not only did we fail to retrieve the Nine Aperture Stone, we also...we also..."
He talked for a long time but didn't say anything else.
Zhang Chengying's eyes gradually turned cold as he slowly scanned the crowd. "Tell me, what happened?"
Lu Wuya shuddered and dared not hide anything anymore. He repeated everything that happened in Tianbao Pavilion in detail.
"... Sect Master, that woman may be very young, but the pressure from her soul is definitely... definitely at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, even stronger than the ancestor!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Chengying's expression finally changed, and he suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Stronger than the ancestor? Lu Wuya, did you see clearly?"
"It's absolutely true!" Lu Wuya swore. "More than a dozen of us couldn't even stand under that pressure! If the other party hadn't shown mercy, we would have been completely destroyed and perished on the spot!"
Zhang Chengying paced back and forth in the hall, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.
When did such a figure emerge from the Eastern Region? Was he from the Central or Western Regions, or was he some old, reclusive monster?
Either way, it's trouble.
But the Tianjian Sect has dominated the Eastern Region for so many years, when has it ever suffered such a great humiliation?
He was scolded and humiliated in front of all the cultivators in Tianshu City!
If they don't get their revenge, how will Tianjianmen survive in the Eastern Region?
What's more, that is the Nine-Aperture Stone!
"Father, we can't just let this go!" Zhang Lingfeng gritted his teeth. "No matter how strong she is, our Tianjian Sect has deployed all its forces, laying a massive net of heaven and earth. I don't believe she can turn the tables!"
A cold light flashed in Zhang Chengying's eyes, and he finally made up his mind.
"Pass my order! Please ask Senior Brother Jianyuan to come out of seclusion!"
Senior Brother Jian Yuan and Zhang Chengying are brothers who have been practicing together since childhood. Senior Brother Jian Yuan has reached the peak of Mahayana cultivation and is half a step away from overcoming the tribulation.
"Also," Zhang Chengying continued to order, "gather all the elders in the Fusion Stage from the Sect's Dharma Protector Hall and Discipline Hall, a total of thirteen people, to accompany Senior Brother!
Bring along the sect's most precious treasures, the Soul-Locking Chain and the Heaven-Covering Seal! I simply don't believe a woman of unknown origin can withstand the wrath of the Heavenly Sword Sect!
He paused, his eyes swept outside the hall, his voice filled with murderous intent.
"Find out where she is! This time, I will destroy her body and soul, and she will never be reborn!"
…
At the same time, in the residence of the Lin family's branch, Jingxin Garden.
The courtyard was peaceful.
Zhong Ling sat on a stone bench, holding a cup of tea in her hand.
The mouth of the soul-nourishing gourd slightly opened, and Xuanming's soul floated out:
"Friend Zhong, the Tianjian Sect will never let this go." Xuanming was very worried. "Zhang Chengying is a vindictive and narrow-minded person. They suffered such a great loss this time. I'm afraid the next time they come, they'll probably use a real killer move."
"It's okay. I've already let the Lin family leave. As long as no innocent people are harmed..."
Before Zhong Ling could finish, she paused holding the teacup, raised her head, and looked towards the sky above Jingxin Garden:
"Here I come."
As soon as the words fell, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky and instantly enveloped the entire Lin family.
It’s getting dark.
The entire area was cordoned off and the air was so heavy it was impossible to breathe.
A cold voice sounded:
"Tianjianmen is doing business, all idlers should leave!"
"Sir, do you admit your guilt?"
As the voice was spoken, thirteen powerful auras burst out and locked onto Zhong Ling in Jingxin Garden.
Every breath represents a strong man in the fusion stage!
And above these thirteen auras, there is an even more terrifying aura that suppresses this world.
Uncle Lin listened to Zhong Ling's words and took his entire clan to hide at the main house. The head of the clan, Lin Xiaotian, asked the reason and learned that the life-saving spiritual plant was actually given by the woman who had fought against the Tianjian Sect. He quickly let someone in, then opened the defense formation and ordered the clan members not to go out.
Many monks in the city heard the noise here and went out, hiding not far from the Lin family to check the situation.
The person who came was actually in the Mahayana stage!
In order to deal with Zhong Ling alone, the Tianjian Sect actually dispatched a Mahayana ancestor and thirteen fusion elders?!
Are they planning to turn the entire Tianshu City upside down?!
Faced with this devastating scene, in Jingxin Garden, Zhong Ling put down her teacup and stood up.
The restrictions she set up were as solid as a rock under the opponent's pressure, isolating all pressure from outside.
She took a step forward and her figure appeared above the courtyard, facing the Tianjian Sect from afar.
The leader was Jian Yuan, holding a pitch-black chain, which was the sect's most precious treasure, the "Soul-Locking Chain".
Jian Yuan looked down at Zhong Ling, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
You are really too young.
"It was you who insulted my sect and stole my treasure outside Tianbao Pavilion?" Jian Yuan's voice sounded.
Hearing this, Zhong Ling chuckled softly as if she had heard something funny.
"You're old, so it's understandable that your memory is not good. I spent 50 million high-grade spirit stones to buy the Nine Aperture Stone. How come you said it was stolen?"
She looked around at the thirteen combined elders who surrounded her, as well as the magical weapons in their hands, and continued:
"As for the insult, that's even funnier. Your youngster isn't as skilled as others and can't afford the price, so he got angry and blocked me in the street. I told him to get lost. Is that wrong? Or has your Tianjian Sect become bandits now, just robbing whatever they set their eyes on?"
"presumptuous!"
"How dare you, a daring witch, disrespect the ancestor!"
Zhong Ling's words tore off the face of Tianjianmen and threw it on the ground and stepped on it. The thirteen combined elders immediately became furious and shouted at them.
A hint of anger finally appeared on Jian Yuan's face.
For many years, no one dared to speak like this in front of him.
"You're so sharp-tongued!" Jian Yuan snorted coldly, and said no more nonsense. "Since you refuse to surrender, I won't let you go!"
He raised the soul-locking chain in his hand high, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Set up the formation!"
"Lock up her soul and crush her body!"
At a command, the thirteen elders moved together, the magic weapons in their hands shone brightly, and a large golden net appeared, heading towards Zhong Ling's cover!
At the same time, the soul-locking chain in Jian Yuan's hand turned into a giant black dragon and rushed straight towards Zhong Ling!
The Mahayana ancestor personally took action, the thirteen combined elders set up a killing formation, and the two most precious treasures of the sect appeared at the same time!
This strike is enough to wipe out a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Faced with such an attack, Zhong Ling just stood there quietly, even with a playful smile on her face.
"Are you finally willing to take action?"
"You came just in time!"
