517: Chapter 517 Calling for Reinforcements! Six True Immortals Head Towards Pengcheng!
It was a palm-sized jade talisman.
The body of the talisman was a deep, dark blue, as profound as the night, with countless spatial runes engraved on its surface that flowed slowly like living creatures.
A speck of golden light at the center of the jade talisman flickered in and out with Lin Wan's breathing.
A cross-continent communication jade talisman.
This item was the most precious of the three life-saving treasures bestowed upon her by her Revered Master, Elder Baihua—whose cultivation had already reached the Golden Immortal realm—when she became a True Disciple.
It could tear through the endless space of the Tiannan Immortal Domain and deliver a Divine Thought directly to the inner Sect of the Xuantian Immortal Sect.
It could only be used once in a lifetime.
Lin Wan had once thought this jade talisman would rot in her Storage Ring, never to see the light of day.
She looked at the jade talisman in her hand, the two sickly flames in her charred eye sockets flickering violently.
She was organizing her words; this was a one-time opportunity.
The message had to be like the sharpest dagger—precise, concise, and able to stab directly into the Sect's most painful vital point!
Merely seeking revenge or discovering a Second-Rank Immortal Body might attract a few True Immortals.
But it wasn't enough!
Far from enough!
She didn't want just a few experts.
She wanted absolute power, enough to uproot that group of people along with all the unknown possibilities behind them and crush them into powder!
Thoughts flashed through her mind like lightning.
After a moment, the corner of Lin Wan's flesh-mangled, burnt mouth actually curled into a hideous arc that resembled a dimple.
She knew what to write.
Lin Wan closed her eyes and pitilessly poured a stream of pure Divine Thought into the jade talisman.
A message, refined through intense deliberation, quickly took shape within the jade talisman.
The content was brief, but every word was heart-piercing.
"Disciple Lin Wan, in Peng City."
"Discovered a group of Ascenders, suspected to hold clues regarding the blockade of our Sect's Lower Realm passage."
"One of them possesses at least a Second-Rank Immortal Body!"
"Requesting the Sect to swiftly dispatch experts to suppress them!"
Writing to this point, her Divine Thought paused.
Then, with a determination steeped in poison, she added the final and most lethal sentence.
"This matter may be significantly related to the major case of the 'myriad spirits blood pill' supply cutoff!"
Finished.
Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Wan's fingers suddenly exerted force!
"Crack!"
The jade talisman shattered, exploding into a sky full of deep blue light specks.
An imperceptible spatial ripple flashed from the center of the secret room, instantly piercing through the endless Void Realm and shooting towards the distant Xuantian Immortal Sect.
Only after doing all this did Lin Wan let out a long breath of turbid air, smelling of blood and char.
She knew the Xuantian Immortal Sect too well.
And she knew the Sect Master who sat high above the clouds, Sect Master Xiao Qianjue, even better.
The death of an outer Sect deacon and an Inner Sect Disciple was nothing more than idle gossip to the high-level leadership.
Although a Second-Rank Immortal Body was tempting, the Sect always acted with caution and might not necessarily mobilize on a large scale for it.
But the words "myriad spirits blood pill supply cutoff"...
Were enough to touch the thickest and most sensitive nerve of the entire Sect!
That was a shocking case capable of shaking the Sect's Foundation!
It was a death warrant that had been hanging over Sect Master Sect Master Xiao Qianjue's head for over a month!
As long as she tied these ascending ants to the blade of the "myriad spirits blood pill,"
She believed that even the Sect Master himself would absolutely be unable to remain still!
...
Meanwhile.
West Qingyou Continent, Weixian City.
Xuantian Immortal Sect Inner Sect, Law Enforcement Hall.
Atop a bone altar constructed from countless skulls of wailing, agonized souls, a middle-aged man wearing an indigo immortal robe sat cross-legged, his expression as calm as a piece of profound ice that hadn't melted for ten thousand years.
Han Hao, Vice Hall Revered Master of the Xuantian Immortal Sect's Inner Sect Law Enforcement Hall, True Immortal Seventh Heaven.
He was also the Junior Brother of Elder Baihua and Lin Wan's Junior Martial Uncle.
A Sect enforcer known for being impartial and cold-blooded.
Suddenly.
The void in front of him abruptly rippled.
A speck of deep blue light appeared out of thin air.
Han Hao snapped his eyes open, two incomparably sharp sword lights flashing through his pupils, and he reached out to tap the speck of light.
"Buzz!"
Lin Wan's Divine Thought message flooded into his mind like a bursting dam.
"Lin Wan... Peng City..."
"Clues to the Lower Realm passage blockade..."
When the words "Second-Rank Immortal Body" appeared, a crack finally formed on Han Hao's eternal ice-like face.
His breathing even stagnated for a moment.
But what truly caused him to bolt upright from the bone altar was the final sentence.
"myriad spirits blood pill supply cutoff!"
In Han Hao's eyes, a Killing Intent capable of incinerating the heavens instantly erupted!
The Sect Master had been enraged over this matter for half a month, and the entire inner Sect was shrouded in low pressure, living in constant fear.
Their Law Enforcement Hall had received a death order to uncover the truth at all costs!
Now, a clue had finally appeared!
Han Hao did not hesitate for a second; his communication immortal sword unsheathed at his command, and he slashed out two consecutive orders.
The first order was sent within the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Pass down my Hall Revered Master's order! The third squad of the Inner Sect Law Enforcement Hall, six True Immortals, set out immediately! Use the teleportation array to rush to Peng City and follow the instructions of Martial Niece Lin Wan! There must be no delay!"
The second order turned into a sword light that pierced through heaven and earth, shooting directly towards the deepest part of the Xuantian Immortal Sect, the Sect Master's Holy Mountain, which was shrouded in endless Sword Qi year-round.
He reported Lin Wan's message verbatim to the Sect Master, Sect Master Xiao Qianjue!
Having done all this, Han Hao stood in the center of the hall, his surrounding Killing Intent as biting as a blade.
No matter what the background of those Ascenders was,
Since they were now connected to the "myriad spirits blood pill,"
Then only a path to death awaited them!
...
In the dark secret room in Peng City.
"Junior Sister Lin, now what should we do?" Zhao Qingyi's voice was heavy. "Before the Sect's experts arrive, we should not act rashly."
"Of course."
Lin Wan sat back down cross-legged, a gentle smile actually returning to her charred face.
"We're in no hurry."
"Before the reinforcements arrive, we will... play with them properly."
Her gaze pierced through the walls, as if seeing Qian Duoduo in the Yingxian Restaurant, agonizing over the compensation payment.
"I heard they are very interested in the 'immortal body marrow core' being auctioned by the Lingbao Trading Firm this time?"
"And they seem to be very short on money?"
Zhao Qingyi nodded: "The news Senior Sister Zhang gathered is indeed so."
"Then it'll be easy."
Lin Wan's dimple deepened, appearing eerie yet sweet on her charred skin.
"The auction on the first of the month goes to the highest bidder."
"If... I mean if, someone at the auction frantically drives up the price against them, forcing them to go bankrupt and draining every last Immortal Stone from them just to win that treasure..."
She paused, her voice becoming increasingly soft, like a lover's whisper.
"Then, when they walk out of the auction doors satisfied..."
"Won't they just be a bunch of plump fish on a chopping block, drained of their blood?"
Hearing her sweet, cloying voice, Zhao Qingyi felt a chill rush from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.
"Xiao Wan, you want to... set a trap at the auction?"
Lin Wan smiled, a smile as innocent and romantic as a naive young girl.
"Senior Sister Zhao, how can you call it a trap?"
"This is just... the most normal of competitions."
