284: Chapter 284 Should we kill them?

"Roar..."

The bear let out a roar, and a violent aura erupted from its body.

At the same time, its Realm surged from the Sixth Heaven of the Spirit Treasury to the Seventh Heaven, officially entering the ranks of the Late Stage Spirit Treasury monsters.

An aura like blood-evil erupted from its body.

In the next second, the bear charged toward Lin Ming, its massive body causing the ground to tremble.

Cracks appeared across the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Ming leaped into the air.

The bear suddenly jumped up, and its paw, covered in blood-evil, struck toward Lin Ming.

Lin Ming put away his sword.

Using a sword day in and day out, and just blasting things with lightning, he hadn't used his other techniques in a while, and he was getting a bit rusty.

Facing the charging ferocious bear, Lin Ming struck out with a palm.

It was an unadorned, simple palm strike.

"Boom..."

The ferocious bear made intimate contact with the ground, half its body embedded in the earth, and it lost all signs of life instantly.

Lin Ming returned to the ground and waved his hand.

It seemed he hadn't gotten rusty after all.

Lin Ming showed a look of slight satisfaction at his masterpiece.

He wasn't worried about being discovered; everyone else was engaged in battle with these monsters and had no time to pay attention to him.

However, those two practitioners of the Other Shore Realm and the Nirvana Ancestor were constantly monitoring the area; once a Disciple fell into danger, they would step in to save them.

Lin Ming, however, had concealed his presence from their prying eyes, so they could not detect him.

As for the remaining monsters, Lin Ming couldn't be bothered to fight over them.

This so-called training was of no use to him.

...

Outside the city, under a tree.

A red-haired man appeared here, his gaze fixed on the direction of the city, a playful smile on his face.

"Yuanxu Mountain, Yongzhen Sect, these people appeared at the wrong time."

Another person appeared beside the red-haired man, looking toward the city with an expressionless face, and said.

It just so happened that these two Sects appeared right when they were conducting their experiments.

"No, I actually think this is a very good opportunity," the red-haired man said.

There was nothing more suitable as their experimental subjects than these top Sects.

"The quality of this batch of monsters is too poor," the man continued.

Undeniably, the red-haired man was right.

The Disciples of these top Sects were indeed perfect as experimental subjects for their experiments.

But the quality of this batch of monsters was too poor, so much so that most of them were no match for the Disciples of Yuanxu Mountain and Yongzhen Sect.

He had noticed that their experimental subjects were constantly dying at the hands of these people.

It was just that the quality of these monsters themselves was too poor; if they were dealing with ordinary practitioners, it would be no problem at all.

But against the Disciples of these top Sects, there was still a certain gap.

"It is indeed a bit poor, but we have already obtained what we wanted," the red-haired man nodded and said.

He also knew the quality of this batch of monsters was a bit poor; one could say they were discarded by that group of guys.

But the red-haired man didn't care much about that at the moment. Besides, his goal had been achieved.

"How about we take them out?" A hint of excitement flashed in the man's eyes.

"Peak Master Zhao Wuhai of Yuanxu Mountain and Elder Mu Shan of Yongzhen Sect—one is a Peak True Monarch, the other a High-Grade True Monarch—they are not so easy to take out," the red-haired man said coldly.

"That's true." After a few seconds of silence, the man nodded.

"Also, don't forget the latest order from above," the red-haired man said.

Now is not the time.

"Let's go." The red-haired man turned and left the place.

Seeing this, the man took one last look at the city, then followed in the footsteps of the red-haired man.

This time, these guys were lucky. Next time, it won't be so simple.

...

An afternoon passed. When Lin Ming and the others finished dealing with all these Yao Beasts, they had also demonstrated their "strength."

But this also made them notice a problem with the Yao Beasts. The Yao Beasts, or rather monsters, had traces of being modified.

"Modified monsters?!" A name immediately appeared in one person's mind, a look of suspicion appearing on their face.

"Modified monsters? Could it be Hao Chong of the Blood Refining Sect?" The others seemed to realize something as well and subconsciously blurted out the name.

In the cultivation world, if anyone would have such a perverted hobby, it could only be him. But they were only guessing, with no evidence.

"Let's go." Elder Mu Shan confirmed that all the monsters had been eliminated and, along with Peak Master Zhao Wuhai, searched the surroundings.

After confirming that they couldn't find the perpetrators, they did not jump to any rash conclusions about the matter.

After regrouping, the group set off again on the road to Shangji Sect.

...

Shangji Sect. After a long journey, Lin Ming and the others finally arrived at Shangji Sect.

During the journey, apart from the monster attack on the city, nothing else particularly special happened.

Moreover, the Sect was already aware of the monster attack on the city and had sent Disciples to investigate.

"Fellow Daoists of Yongzhen Sect and Yuanxu Mountain, I have been waiting for a long time," an elder stepped forward to greet them.

His gaze swept over everyone, but lingered intentionally on Su Lianxue for a few seconds.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Heng, have the people from Canghai Sword Pavilion arrived yet?" Peak Master Zhao Wuhai stepped forward and asked.

"The Fellow Daoists from Canghai Sword Pavilion should need another day to arrive," Lin Heng said.

"Everyone, please settle in first." "This must be young friend Su Lianxue, right?"

However, Lin Heng's gaze finally fell on Lin Ming. A burning intensity emanated from his eyes.

This was the person the Sect Head had personally requested.

"That's right, if you want our Sect's Su Lianxue to demonstrate the Dao of Taiyin, that is naturally no problem at all," Peak Master Zhao Wuhai said.

Peak Master Zhao Wuhai naturally noticed Lin Heng's burning gaze and subconsciously assumed it was caused by a desire for the Dao of Taiyin.

"Then many thanks," Lin Heng nodded.

Lin Heng did not linger there for too long and soon left.

The next day, the group from Canghai Sword Pavilion also arrived at Shangji Sect.

However, for some reason, when Lin Ming saw these Sword Cultivators from Canghai Sword Pavilion, he inexplicably thought of a few Sword Cultivators on Hidden Sword Peak.

Was this a common trait among Sword Cultivators?

"Since everyone has arrived, this exchange meeting can begin," Elder Mu Shan said.

This exchange meeting was the purpose of their trip. Since everyone had arrived, it could begin immediately.
