Chapter 701 - 340: Movements from All Sides, Spiritless Death Land
Regarding Lin Hai, whether it’s in Zang Qianjian or in the spiritual memories of others, there is always a significant mention.
Because although Lin Yingyun Mountain is the backbone of Qi Guang Sect, the true ruler is Lin Hai.
His will represents the will of Lin Yingyun Mountain, which is equivalent to the will of the entire Qi Guang Sect, even Red Fire Zhenren, the top Golden Core Cultivator in the Middle Stage of the Qi Guang Sect, has to follow his orders.
However, Lin Hai was attacked by a demon cultivator in his early years, resulting in damage to his Golden Core. Despite having a Middle-Grade Golden Core, there is no hope for achieving a higher realm, and the impact of his injury is lifelong. For years, his Golden Core Power has been leaking, so among the Golden Core Middle Stage of Qi Guang Sect, he is considered the weakest.
The weakest, yet the most trusted and valued by Lin Yingyun Mountain. As for the reason, no one knows.
But facts have proven that Lin Yingyun Mountain didn’t make a mistake in trusting Lin Hai. After the Life Soul Lamp of Lin Yingyun Mountain went out, the cultivators of various branches have long been disintegrated like a shattered mirror. Some Golden Core cultivators even announced their complete separation from the Qi Guang Sect and established new sects, while Lin Hai still fought side by side with the disciples of Qi Guang Sect, advancing and retreating together, never abandoning them.
It is precisely because of his presence that Qi Guang Sect hasn’t completely collapsed and still has the strength to fight. Even without Longteng Liyi’s intervention, it still has the capacity to compete with the Longteng Family.
Unfortunately,
The decline is already destined.
For his sudden visit, even Wen Jiu, without much thought, knows his true intention.
Now, if the lineage of Lin Yingyun Mountain wants to escape misfortune, they must either flee the West or find another place to settle. Having just extinguished the Brute Puppet Sect, the Lu Family, which is in the limelight, is their best choice.
What’s more, Lu Feng’s wife, the matriarch of the Lu Family, is a descendant of Lin Yingyun Mountain. However, Wen Jiu is willing to meet him, not because of the Lu Family, and certainly doesn’t want to meddle in the conflict between the Longteng Family and Qi Guang Sect.
It’s just that Qi Guang Sect has stood in the Western Xishan Floating Domain for two or three millennia. How deep is its foundation?
He wants to see what is left of Qi Guang Sect.
However, just when Lin Hai found Lu Feng and went with him to Cold Pool Mist Valley, the eyes of the Spirit Suppressing Army immediately informed Deng Lai and Divine General Nangong Huan of this matter.
Deng Lai quickly found Nangong Huan because the attitude of the Domain Lord’s Mansion at this time is extremely important. If they ignore it, once Lin Hai aligns with Lu Shi, the West will fall into chaos again.
That Lu Shi is not Lin Yingyun Mountain, not a declining old Dan, but a strong presence even the Divine General doesn’t dare to underestimate.
They must handle this cautiously.
"Lin Hai’s actions are really fast." Nangong Huan pondered for a few moments, "Fortunately, Lu Shi is not an ambitious person. If the Brute Puppet Sect hadn’t provoked him before, he might have continued to hide. No matter how high a price Lin Hai offers, Lu Shi may not necessarily agree."
"Sir, do we need to do anything now? Should we warn Longteng Liyi? We know the true strength of the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor Lu Shi, but Longteng Liyi doesn’t. The Longteng Family already has a grudge with the Lu Family. Now that Lin Hai has found the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor, if anything happens, it will affect your plans..." Deng Lai expressed some concern.
"No problem. If Longteng Liyi really makes a move, it would just be an opportunity to test Lu Shi’s real strength for me. You return to Cold Pool Mist Valley first, and if things really become uncontrollable, contact me." After saying this, Nangong Huan murmured softly, "The core area of the Celestial Yin Mountain Range is something I must obtain. The stronger the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor Lu Shi is, the more useful he is to me."
"I will go now."
Deng Lai bowed respectfully and, after leaving the room, immediately transformed into a streak of light.
...
The Longteng Family is located in Dragon Fall Valley. Three thousand years ago, a dragon fell from the sky here, hence the name Dragon Fall Valley. Initially, the Longteng Family did not bear the Longteng surname, but just the Teng surname. However, after moving to Dragon Fall Valley, the first ancestor of the Longteng Family accidentally discovered that the True Dragon Spirit had not perished, and because he cared for the Dragon Spirit, he was granted the dao, forming a Golden Core and leading the family to rise.
Later, the True Dragon Spirit recovered fully, returned to its dragon body, and soared into the sea of clouds to depart. Thereupon, the first ancestor of the Teng family changed its name to Longteng, hoping that the Teng family would soar like the True Dragon.
At the same time, Longteng Liyi also received the news that Lin Hai entered East Pole Immortal City to meet Lu Feng.
Upon learning of this, Longteng Liyi’s first reaction was calm because the decline of the Qi Guang Sect is already set in stone, and the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor is merely a spirit body comparable to the Late Stage of Golden Core.
Still within the Middle Realm.
His Jinhua Evil-Slaying Divine Thunder restrains heterodox evil techniques, so he doesn’t fear the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor at all. He had not let the Longteng Family strike against the Lu Family only because he didn’t want to make enemies for now.
Moreover, now the Divine Fall Mountain Range is in great chaos, and frequent battles occur at the Heaven-Reaching River. He truly doesn’t wish to engage in a life-and-death struggle. Whether the opponent lives or dies, he is indifferent; he cares more about the Longteng Family.
In the upcoming chaos, it’s crucial for the Longteng Family to pass through safely.
"Lu Family...
I advise you to be sensible and not seek your own doom. The Domain Lord’s Mansion hasn’t allowed me to take further action against the Qi Guang Sect, sparing them a living path, but the Domain Lord’s Mansion never said we can’t take action against you."
Longteng Liyi wore a sullen expression, then issued an order to eradicate any remnants of the Qi Guang Sect. This command left the Longteng Family and was conveyed to Donghua Immortal City with the fastest speed.
...
Outside Cold Pool Mist Valley.
Lu Feng and Lin Hai approached Cold Pool Mist Valley, and Lu Feng also received a message from the Lu Family at this moment.
After investigating the message, Lu Feng’s expression subtly changed, and he couldn’t help but sigh, "The Longteng Family’s actions are truly swift. As soon as you came to see me, Longteng Liyi issued an order to wipe out the roots."
