If you had to describe Lü Xiaoyi's current mood in one word, it would be "爽" (shuang, meaning "great" or "exhilarating")!
What a load of bullshit, the Azure Eagle Clan! What a load of bullshit, the Yin Corpse Sect! I've already sworn in!
Of course, there's a reason why he's criticizing like this.
It is probably common knowledge that Xu Mang was his senior brother.
Since he sided with the Frostwolf Clan, it wouldn't matter whether Lü Xiaoyi expressed his opinion or not.
Whether it's the Azure Eagle Clan or the Yin Corpse Sect, they will all regard him as an enemy.
Instead of explaining timidly, we should be straightforward and confront them directly.
"You...you dare to insult me?"
Do you know who you're provoking?
Do you even know the consequences of provoking me?
Yun Wanli stared at Lü Xiaoyi with bloodshot eyes, his killing intent almost uncontrollable.
As the heir of the Azure Eagle Clan, when has he ever suffered such an insult?
"So what if I provoke you? I'll still kill you!"
After saying that, Lü Xiaoyi picked up his double halberds and prepared to charge out.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"If you want war, then let's fight!"
Enraged, Yun Wanli prepared for a great battle.
But just then, Yun Shangtian stopped him.
Yun Shangtian glanced at Xu Mang and uttered a single word, "Retreat!"
The situation has spiraled out of his control.
If Xu Mang and Lü Xiaoyi were to join forces, their side would be unable to gain the upper hand.
With Li Fan's ambiguous attitude added to the mix, Yun Shangtian saw absolutely no hope of winning.
Of course, there is another very important reason besides that.
That was the problem of the offering; a thought vaguely flashed through his mind.
If things go as I think, then this trip will allow me to legitimately gain the sect's support.
The three men and the eagle disappeared into the horizon.
......
Upon reaching the top of the tower, tranquility returned.
Xu Mang landed and said to Li Fan, "Alliance Leader Li, farewell!"
Now that his injuries have healed, it's time for him to set off back to the northern frontier to prepare for the upcoming battle.
"Senior Xu, may we meet again someday!"
Li Fan bowed and said goodbye.
His attitude remained the same as before.
The clan infighting had nothing to do with him.
He would not fight for the reward of the Frostwolf Clan.
Seeing Li Fan's resolute attitude, Gulina did not continue to try.
However, before leaving, she inexplicably glanced at Chen Kui sitting by the window.
That one glance made Chen Kui furrow his brow.
The more I looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
This familiarity is something I don't even know where to begin.
He picked up his teacup, looked at Gulina's retreating figure, and fell silent.
......
"Ancestor, where are we going?"
Yun Wanli looked puzzled.
He had assumed he would return the way he came.
But now it turns out the road is different; it's not the fastest way back to the North.
"To accomplish something big!"
A mysterious smile appeared on Yun Shangtian's face.
As he followed the trail, he became increasingly certain that the sacrificial offering was no ordinary object.
Those who leave their mark are not simple.
The faint inspiration in my mind grew stronger.
Nearly twenty years ago, a major event occurred in the Yin Corpse Sect.
That was Lin Sen, one of the two vice sect leaders of the Yin Corpse Sect, who was killed!
The reason, of course, is the blood sacrifice.
The blood sacrifice of a top-tier demigod is naturally different from that of an ordinary member of the Yin Corpse Sect.
At that time, the clan had just experienced several major battles and was in a period of recuperation.
Lin Sen then went to the northern frontier and randomly chose a city.
Unfortunately, there was an invincible master in that city.
As a result, Lin Sen died, and the invincible master disappeared without a trace.
Afterwards, the sect leader of the Yin Corpse Sect personally came out of seclusion and ordered the death of Emperor Zhou Dingtian of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Yun Shangtian suspects that the girl he is currently tracking is a survivor of the blood sacrifice from back then.
If she's lucky, she might even find out where that mysterious, invincible master is hiding.
Over the years, the Yin Corpse Sect has not given up on revenge.
The reason there was no such thing was not because cultivators were particularly sentimental, but simply because the Lin family did not decline because of Lin Sen's death.
Lin Sen's son, Lin Mu, successfully succeeded him after his death, becoming the new deputy sect leader of the Yin Corpse Sect.
If Yunshangtian can find that mysterious, invincible expert, Lin Mu can wipe out the Frostwolf Clan with just a word.
A top-tier immortal represents unparalleled martial prowess.
Of course, Yun Shangtian was not in a hurry.
The more critical the moment, the more careful and cautious we must be.
He first needed to confirm that the invincible master was not lurking in the shadows.
......
After leaving Tianqing City, Lin Hanqing and Yang Xiaoqian headed northwest.
Two days later, the two arrived at a small town on the border of Qingzhou.
But strangely, the town was unusually quiet.
In the setting sun, no fireworks could be seen rising.
There were no pedestrians on the road.
Lin Hanqing frowned slightly, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.
"Master Sister, I suddenly feel a little panicked!"
Yang Xiaoqian grabbed Lin Hanqing's sleeve, her face pale and bloodless.
"Don't be afraid, Master will take you away from here!"
Lin Hanqing circulated his internal energy, then picked up Yang Xiaoqian and flew towards the sky.
Just then, the glow of the setting sun was replaced by the color of blood.
The town has been transformed into a ghost town.
A chilling wind, carrying mournful howls, came from all directions.
In the blood-stained sky, distorted human faces appeared.
A human face suddenly appeared and flew towards the two of them. This bizarre scene directly awakened the deepest fear in Yang Xiaoqian's heart.
All of this felt so familiar.
"ah!"
Yang Xiaoqian covered her head and screamed.
That fear, originating from the deepest part of the soul, was fully unleashed.
She trembled all over, as if her body had been taken over by another soul.
"Xiaoqian, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Lin Hanqing held Yang Xiaoqian in one hand and brandished his long sword in the other.
The sword energy, fueled by true qi, was like frost, tearing the eerie human face to shreds.
But those faces seemed endless, with no end in sight.
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Mucha's imposing figure descended from the sky.
He charged at Lin Hanqing like a raging bull, with unstoppable force.
The frost-like sword energy fell on him like raindrops hitting a stone.
Sword energy scattered and splashed everywhere, but the stone remained completely still.
Umucha's fist came crashing down like a mountain.
Lin Hanqing held his sword in front of him to block the punch, and was then blasted away.
Blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
But she did not let go; the long sword in her hand continued to unleash its sword energy forward.
She was waiting, waiting for the enemy hiding in the shadows to reveal themselves.
A supernatural power is sealed within her body.
This supernatural power was left behind by her master.
Although the person in front of him was at the late stage of the tenth-grade Dharma Manifestation realm, Lin Hanqing was certain that those strange faces were not being manipulated by the person in front of him.
You only get one chance to make a move.
If she wanted to take Xiaoqian away, she could only endure until the hidden enemy couldn't take it anymore.
