92: Chapter 92 Decapitation in the Starry Night, Shocking the Heroes

Lin Ye flashed, turning into a faint, almost invisible shadow, blending into the night, and sped towards the Sect gate.

At the same time, he quickly issued instructions through the "Sect Master Token": "Supreme Elder Tianxuan, Elder Xing, Elder Liu, please lead the crowd to hold the formation, attract the enemy's attention, and create chaos.

This Seat has a plan to break the enemy; upon seeing the signal, counterattack immediately!"

"Ye Xiao, Gui Li, you two sneak to the outskirts of the Sect gate, wait for an opportunity to ambush and kill those who are alone or have lower cultivation, creating even greater panic!"

"Chu Yun, Su Waner, hold my 'spirit-nourishing bead' and 'soul-calming ancient lamp', sit at the formation eye of the Sect gate, stabilize the minds of the Disciples, and resist possible Divine Soul attacks!"

The instructions were clear.

Although the others did not know Lin Ye's specific plan, they already had enough trust in him and immediately acted according to the orders.

Outside the Sect gate, the night sky was illuminated like daylight by the light of various Magic Treasures.

Master Chihuang of the Golden Flame Valley, a white-browed Golden Core from the Xuantian Sect, and a burly Golden Core from the Divine Weapon Sect, these three Nascent Soul and Golden Core Cultivators stood in the air, with nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Cultivators behind them, full of menacing Aura.

Supreme Elder Tianxuan, Elder Xing, Elder Liu, and others relied on the protective light barrier of the Sect-protecting formation, waiting in full battle array; both sides were at daggers drawn, and the war of words was in full swing.

"Tianxuan! I will give you one last chance. Hand over Lin Han, hand over the demonic creature, open the formation, and accept the search!

Otherwise, we will break your turtle shell and level the Lingyun Sword Sect!" Master Chihuang's voice was like thunder, golden-red flames rose around him, and the pressure of his Nascent Soul was released without restraint.

"Chihuang! You have broken your faith, torn up your oath, colluded with outside Sects, and invaded our Sect gate; your crime deserves death!

What face do you have to bark here?!" Supreme Elder Tianxuan's beard and hair stood on end, and he scolded angrily.

"Stubborn! Then don't blame this Seat for being ruthless! Fellow Daoists, follow me to break the formation!" Master Chihuang sneered and raised his hand, intending to order a strong attack.

Just at this critical moment, when everyone's attention was attracted by the confrontation in front of the Sect gate—

No one noticed that a shadow, almost integrated with the night, had silently circled to the side and rear of the coalition forces, less than a hundred feet away from Master Chihuang, who was standing in the air!

Lin Ye lurked in the shadow of a mountain rock, like the most patient hunter, his Aura restrained to the extreme, even his breathing seemed to have stopped.

In his hand, he tightly gripped the "command token of ten thousand ghosts" and the "yan jun token", the "Lingyun Sword Intent" seed in his brow was ready to go, the Ice-Fire Taiji in his Dantian was spinning crazily, and the Qi of his Middle Stage of Qi Refining was compressed to the extreme.

He was waiting, waiting for the best opportunity.

Master Chihuang was self-satisfied and was about to wave his hand to launch a total attack, his mind slightly relaxed.

This is the moment!

A cold light flashed in Lin Ye's eyes, and he exploded with speed, power, and all his trump cards at this moment, without reservation!

"Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation" was pushed to the limit!

His figure turned into an almost invisible golden-red stream of light, instantly crossing the distance of a hundred feet, appearing three feet behind Master Chihuang!

At the same time, the black light of the "command token of ten thousand ghosts" in his left hand surged, and an evil magic power that was pure, cold, and seemed capable of freezing the Divine Soul and commanding ten thousand ghosts turned into invisible chains, silently winding around Master Chihuang's Divine Soul and Nascent Soul!

This was the "Soul-Absorbing" ability of the "command token of ten thousand ghosts", attacking the Divine Soul specifically, impossible to guard against!

The "yan jun token" in his right hand shone with dazzling golden light, and a wisp of pure yang true fire, condensed to the extreme and containing a trace of the Great Sun Golden Flame Origin, turned into a flame Sword Qi as thin as a hair but extremely hot, piercing directly at the vital point of Master Chihuang's heart!

The "Lingyun Sword Intent" seed in his brow hummed, and a silver Sword Intent that was grand and upright but carried resolute killing intent, arrived first despite starting later, slashing towards Master Chihuang's protective spiritual light and Divine Sense perception, disrupting his judgment!

The Ice-Fire Taiji in his body reversed, and his Qi, blood, and even part of his vitality burned crazily, turning into a short-lived and violent power far exceeding the Qi Refining Realm, all poured into this strike!

[Return to Ruins · Tribulation] Sword Intent prototype, fused into the flame Sword Qi!

This strike was the strongest assassination that Lin Ye could unleash at present, fusing all his means, all his insights, and all his determination!

There was no sound, no great momentum, only extreme speed, extreme concealment, and extreme destruction!

As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, how sharp was Master Chihuang's Spiritual Sense?

The moment Lin Ye launched his attack, he felt a terrifying crisis of death coming from behind!

His expression changed in horror, and without thinking, the Nascent Soul in his body suddenly opened its eyes, erupting with monstrous flames, his protective spiritual light instantly thickened several times, and at the same time, a crimson heart-protecting mirror automatically appeared, blocking his heart.

However, it was still half a beat too slow!

The "Soul-Absorbing" power of the "command token of ten thousand ghosts" reached his body first!

Master Chihuang felt his Divine Soul stiffen, as if grabbed by countless cold ghost hands, and his thinking experienced an extremely short delay.

Although with his Nascent Soul cultivation, he broke free instantly, this momentary delay was a fatal flaw in a life-and-death battle!

Immediately following, the flame Sword Qi containing the "Return to Ruins · Tribulation" Sword Intent arrived!

Chi—!

The crimson heart-protecting mirror let out a mournful cry, and was instantly pierced by the flame Sword Qi that was as thin as a hair but contained terrifying power of annihilation!

The Sword Qi's momentum remained undiminished, fiercely piercing into Master Chihuang's heart, penetrating his protective spiritual light, and sinking into his body!

"Ah—!!" Master Chihuang let out a shrill scream, his body shook violently, a burst of blood exploded on his back, and golden-red flames and eerie black frost (power of Return to Ruins) intertwined, eroded, and annihilated at his wound!

He could feel a strange power full of destruction and deathly silence crazily destroying inside him, even trying to annihilate his Nascent Soul!

At the same time, the "Soul-Absorbing" power also increased again, making the operation of his Nascent Soul obscure.

"Junior! You are courting death!" Master Chihuang was shocked and angry, and with a backhanded palm, carrying golden-red flames that could burn mountains and boil the sea, he slapped at Lin Ye behind him!

However, after Lin Ye succeeded in his attack, he did not stop at all, having already used the force of the rebound to retreat rapidly like a ghost, and at the same time activated several "Heavenly Thunder Talismans" and "Ice-Sealing Talismans" he had already held in his hand, blasting at Master Chihuang, not seeking to injure the enemy, but only to block his pursuit and create greater chaos.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Talismans exploded, thunder and frost burst open, temporarily submerging Master Chihuang's figure.

All this happened in the blink of an eye!

It wasn't until Master Chihuang screamed and the Talismans exploded that everyone reacted!

"Valley Master!"

"Brother Chihuang!"

The Golden Flame Valley Elder, Xuantian Sect's white-browed one, and the Divine Weapon Sect's burly Golden Core were all shocked and looked in horror at Master Chihuang, who stumbled out of the explosion with a bloody back and chaotic Aura, and then looked with shock and anger at Lin Ye, who had retreated to the edge of the protective formation, pale but with cold eyes.

"It's Lin Han!"

"He ambushed Valley Master Chihuang!"

"How is it possible?! How could he hurt a Nascent Soul?!"

The coalition was in an uproar, and their morale was severely damaged.

On the Lingyun Sword Sect side, earth-shaking cheers erupted!

"Acting Sect Master is mighty!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Supreme Elder Tianxuan and others were both surprised and happy; they didn't expect Lin Ye to have such courage and means, and to be able to heavily injure a Nascent Soul with one strike!

"Chihuang is injured! Follow this Seat to kill the enemy!" Supreme Elder Tianxuan saw the opportunity, shouted sharply, and was the first to rush out of the formation, pouncing directly at the Xuantian Sect's white-browed Golden Core!

Elder Xing, Elder Liu, and others were also greatly encouraged and rushed out to kill!

Ye Xiao and Gui Li also launched harassment on the periphery.

For a time, the sounds of killing outside the Sect gate shook the sky, and Spells and Sword Qi crisscrossed.

Lin Ye endured the weakness caused by the overdraft of his Qi and the burning of his blood, took a Medicinal Pill, and did not immediately join the melee.

His gaze was locked tightly on Master Chihuang, who had an unstable Aura and was being protected and healed by two Golden Flame Valley Golden Core Elders.

He knew that the previous strike had heavily injured the opponent but was not fatal.

Nascent Soul Cultivators have tenacious vitality and secret techniques.

He must take advantage of his illness to take his life!

Otherwise, once he recovers, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But at this moment, his state was poor, and forcing himself to fight again carried extremely high risks.

Just as he was weighing his options.

The "inheritance star mirror" in his arms suddenly heated up slightly, and a clear piece of mental information came:

"Detected that the 'Gatekeeper candidate' has encountered a strong enemy, can temporarily invoke the power of the 'inheritance star path' to perform one 'Star Meteor' (imitation). Requires the 'inheritance star mirror' as a guide, consuming a large amount of Divine Soul and Qi, can summon a meteor phantom for one strike, with power comparable to a full-strength strike of an Early Stage Nascent Soul, but the burden on the caster is extremely great. Do you want to invoke it?"

Star Meteor (imitation)? Comparable to a full-strength strike of an Early Stage Nascent Soul?

A bright light shone in Lin Ye's eyes!

That's it!

He did not hesitate, communicated with the "inheritance star mirror", and at the same time crazily squeezed the Qi and Divine Soul power he had just recovered a little in his body, pouring it into the star mirror.

"In my name, summon the meteor to fall!"

Hum!

The "inheritance star mirror" erupted with unprecedented brilliant starlight, shot into the sky, and disappeared into the night sky!

The next moment, in the horrified eyes of everyone, a "star" suddenly lit up in the night sky, and then... dragging a long, burning fiery-white tail flame, like a real falling meteor, tore through the night sky, carrying the terrifying power of destroying everything, and crashed down towards Master Chihuang who was healing, and the two Golden Core Elders around him!

"No—!!" Master Chihuang let out a desperate roar; he felt the terrifying power contained in this strike, which was enough to truly threaten his life!

He crazily urged his Nascent Soul and sacrificed several life-saving Magic Treasures, trying to resist.

The two Golden Core Elders were also scared out of their wits and fled separately.

However, the speed of "Star Meteor" was too fast, and the coverage was too wide!

Boom—!!!!!!!!!!!

A loud noise like the sky collapsing and the earth cracking exploded in the night sky!

The dazzling white light illuminated the entire Sect gate like daylight!

The terrifying energy storm swept in all directions, blowing away dozens of coalition Cultivators who were close by, and the Sect-protecting formation shook violently.

When the white light and dust gradually dissipated.

I saw that where Master Chihuang was, a scorched black crater with a diameter of more than ten feet and bottomless depth appeared on the ground!

In the crater, Master Chihuang was scorched all over, his breath was weak, his Lifebound Treasure was completely shattered, his Nascent Soul was withered and dim, and he was already heavily injured and dying!

Of the two Golden Core Elders, one was directly vaporized, leaving no corpse, and the other was left with only half a scorched body.

The power of one strike was so terrifying!

The whole scene was dead silent.

Whether it was the coalition of the Golden Flame Valley, Xuantian Sect, and Divine Weapon Sect, or the Disciples and Elders of the Lingyun Sword Sect, all were dumbfounded, looking at the huge crater in disbelief, looking at the dying Master Chihuang in the pit, and then looking at Lin Ye, who stood in front of the formation, his face as pale as paper, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, but his posture as straight as a pine, holding the starlight token.

At this moment, Lin Ye's figure seemed to coincide with that falling star in everyone's eyes, carrying a kind of suffocating majesty and... fear.

"Who else wants to try my Lingyun Sword Sect's 'Star Meteor'?" Lin Ye forced himself not to fall, his cold gaze swept over the silent coalition members, his voice hoarse, but like the whisper of the god of death.

The Xuantian Sect's white-browed Golden Core and the Divine Weapon Sect's burly Golden Core were pale, cold sweat dripping, how could they still have any Battle Intent?

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

I don't know who shouted, the coalition collapsed instantly, retreating like a tide, abandoning their armor and weapons, in a sorry state, not even caring about the heavily injured Master Chihuang.

"Pursue!" Supreme Elder Tianxuan saw this and immediately ordered.

"No need." Lin Ye raised his hand to stop them; he was at the end of his strength and could not provoke the other party to jump over the wall in desperation, "Clean up the battlefield and save the wounded. Take Chihuang... into the death row and guard him strictly."

"Yes!" Everyone responded with a roar, their eyes looking at Lin Ye filled with fanaticism and awe.

After this night, the name of Lin Han as "Acting Sect Master" would surely be deeply branded in the heart of every Lingyun Sword Sect Disciple with blood and fire, and would also shock the entire Tianfeng Kingdom Cultivation world with the terrifying record of "Star Meteor slays Nascent Soul"!

However, Lin Ye did not have much joy.

He looked to the north, where the direction of the "Beiming Cold Abyss" was.

Now that things are done here, it is time to go there to find the final answer.

Three days later.

Lingyun Sword Sect, Lingyun Hall.

Lin Ye sat in the main seat, his Aura had basically recovered, and because of the successive battles and life-and-death insights, his cultivation even had signs of breaking through to the Late Stage of Qi Refining.

Below, Supreme Elder Tianxuan, Elder Xing, Elder Liu, Chu Yun, Su Waner, Ye Xiao, Gui Li, and other core personnel gathered.

"Chihuang has confessed." Elder Xing said in a deep voice, "The Golden Flame Valley does have secret dealings with the Yinkui Sect.

This palace coup is not only coveting the 'command token of ten thousand ghosts', but also instructed by a certain high-level member of the Yinkui Sect, intending to contain our Sect and buy time for the Yinkui Sect's actions in Beiming.

According to what Chihuang knows, the Yinkui Sect seems to have discovered the exact clues of the 'reincarnation seal' in the depths of the Beiming Cold Abyss and is gathering elites to go there.

The Golden Flame Valley originally planned that if they seized the token, they would cooperate with the Yinkui Sect to explore Beiming together."

Sure enough!

The Yinkui Sect is also looking for the "reincarnation seal"!

And they might have already taken a step ahead!

"The environment of the Beiming Cold Abyss is extreme, and it is difficult for anyone below Golden Core to go deep into the core.

This time, the Yinkui Sect will probably mobilize their whole strength." Supreme Elder Tianxuan frowned.

"We must go immediately." Lin Ye said decisively, "The 'reincarnation seal' is related to the stability of the passage and must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Yinkui Sect.

Moreover, the clues to the 'soul-stabilizing bead' are also in Beiming, which is the key to solving the 'Gatekeeper's Tribulation' of the Sect Master."

"But the Sect..." Elder Liu was worried.

If Lin Ye leaves, the Sect will have no master.

"The Sect has the Supreme Elder and the Elders sitting in the town.

After this battle, the traitors have been cleared, the foreign enemies have temporarily retreated, and there should be no major problems in the short term." Lin Ye said, "My mind is made up.

Three days later, I will set off for Beiming."

He looked at the crowd: "This trip is dangerous, I need a few capable assistants."

"I'll go!" Chu Yun said without hesitation.

"Waner is willing to go." Su Waner also said firmly.

"Gui Li is familiar with the methods of the Yinkui Sect and can be the vanguard for the Master." Gui Li bowed.

"Ye Xiao is good at sneaking and reconnaissance, and can also go together." Ye Xiao said.

"Good! That will be the five of us." Lin Ye nodded, "In these three days, everyone, get ready.

Exchange all necessary supplies and study the intelligence of Beiming."

"Yes!"

Everyone dispersed to prepare.

Lin Ye sat alone in the hall, took out the "inheritance star mirror", "command token of ten thousand ghosts", "yan jun token", and "spirit-nourishing bead", and placed the four tokens in front of him.

The starlight, black light, golden light, and cyan light intertwined faintly, as if they were collectively pointing to the ice and snow wasteland in the extreme north.

The Beiming Cold Abyss, frozen for eternity, devoid of life, chaotic in time and space, and legend has it that there are ancient ice demons, snow demons, and hidden cracks connecting to other worlds.

That will be the final battlefield.

The "reincarnation seal", "soul-stabilizing bead", Yinkui Sect, the secret of the Gatekeeper, and even the truth of his own Transmigration... all the answers may be revealed there.

He touched the "inheritance star mirror", and the terrifying description of the "Eye of the Northern Deep" in the inheritance memory appeared in his mind, as well as the blood and tears and warnings left by the generations of "Gatekeepers" there.

The road ahead is destined to be a life of nine deaths.

But he has no choice.

The responsibility of the "Gatekeeper", the expectations of the Sect Master, the trust of his fellow Disciples, his own Dao path, and even the safety of this world, are all tied to this trip.

He slowly clenched his fists, his eyes as sharp as the ice of Beiming.

"Beiming, I'm coming."
