52: Wang Mu!

"Senior!!"

Kong Yunchang's body plummeted from the sky, and countless Martial Artists' pupils constricted slightly at the sight.

They cried out in alarm, just about to rush forward to catch Kong Yunchang, but one figure was even faster.

Lan Linglong, who had appeared on the city wall at some unknown point, watched Kong Yunchang's body fall. She pushed off with her feet, launching herself forward.

She directly rushed out, caught Kong Yunchang, and gently landed him on the city wall.

Looking at the pale Kong Yunchang, Lan Linglong's face grew even more worried.

"Teacher..."

Lan Linglong quickly took Kong Yunchang's pulse. After feeling that his pulse was steady, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She then spoke in a deep voice to the Martial Artists who were looking over: "Everyone, my teacher is unwell. The safety of Yun City from now on is entrusted to all of you!"

With that, Lan Linglong didn't even give these Martial Artists a chance to speak further. She took Kong Yunchang and left the city wall, heading towards the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall.

One by one, the Martial Artists watched Kong Yunchang being carried away by Lan Linglong. Although they had many words, and even questions, in their hearts, they couldn't find a suitable opportunity to speak.

Chen Shanhe and Yun Tianyang, seeing this, knew exactly what Lan Linglong was thinking.

They immediately spoke up.

"The Tide of Ferocious Beasts and the Demon Cult members have not yet been eradicated. Everyone, some thoughts should be saved until these matters are resolved, then make your plans!"

Seeing Chen Shanhe directly expose their thoughts, many people's faces showed some embarrassment.

But very quickly, they hid these thoughts and began to attack the Demon Cult members and the Tide of Ferocious Beasts.

Without the dimensional rifts created by the Gate of Summoning, the threat of the Tide of Ferocious Beasts and the Demon Cult members was greatly reduced.

Originally, in this plan, Wang Lin's most important focus was the Gate of Summoning.

The Demon Cult members and the Tide of Ferocious Beasts were merely meant to tie down Kong Yunchang.

But who would have known... this group of Martial Arts Family that seemed to have already been corrupted could still burst forth with their former glory.

This was also the biggest failure in Wang Lin's plan this time!

Watching the Demon Cult members and countless Vicious Beasts die at the hands of the military, the Martial Alliance, and the Martial Arts Family.

Wang Lin, who was controlled in mid-air, grew increasingly ferocious.

He constantly attacked the controlling power left by Kong Yunchang, but facing such an unyielding force, even though Wang Lin was an existence beyond the Bone Forging Realm, he still couldn't shake it.

He could only watch helplessly as his plan was dismantled little by little.

He was powerless.

The feeling of powerlessness in his heart finally turned into a roar... As time passed, the Yun City military, the Martial Alliance, and the Martial Arts Family, after paying a heavy price, finally completely resolved the threat of the Tide of Ferocious Beasts and the Demon Cult members.

As for Wang Lin, he was directly escorted away by people from the Martial Alliance. As for where he went, no one knew.

Lu Sheng also returned to the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall.

Looking at the Disciples of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall who had woken up one by one, Lu Sheng directly walked into the back courtyard of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall.

In a room in the back courtyard, Lan Linglong sat on the bed, looking at the unconscious Kong Yunchang, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

"Senior Sister..."

Lu Sheng first bowed, then looked at Kong Yunchang, his gaze filled with complex emotions.

What happened today was simply too shocking for Lu Sheng.

All of this, Lu Sheng felt his mind was in a complete mess.

"Little Junior Brother, I know you have many questions in your heart. I will explain them to you one by one later, but for now, the most important thing is to help Teacher wake up."

Lan Linglong looked at Lu Sheng and said softly.

"During this time, there will be no shortage of people from the Martial Alliance military, and even the Martial Arts Family, wanting to visit Teacher, but with Teacher's current condition, that's not possible."

"I still need to heal Teacher, so I'm leaving these matters to you."

Lu Sheng was silent for a moment, then nodded... "Everyone, Teacher is currently unwell, so please go back!"

Lu Sheng stood at the main entrance of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall, and behind him were all the Disciples of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall.

Outside the main entrance were powerful individuals from various Martial Arts Family, as well as Yun Tianyang and Chen Shanhe.

After the crisis in Yun City ended, they finally learned the identity of the mysterious Heaven and Earth Martial Hall Master.

One by one, they all wanted to meet him.

After all, with Kong Yunchang's status in Great Xia, let alone meeting him, even observing him from afar was an extremely difficult thing.

Although they claimed to feel that Kong Yunchang had turned the tide and saved Yun City from dire straits.

But their true intentions... no one knew!

And now, Yun City had just experienced the invasion of the Demon Cult, and no one knew whether the Demon Cult members had been completely cleared out.

Coupled with Kong Yunchang's current ill health.

If anything were to happen, it would be serious.

However, even though Lu Sheng was blocking them here, each of them was an old and cunning individual, and their excuses were better than the last.

Although Lu Sheng had lived two lives, he couldn't withstand the crazy onslaught of this group of people.

Just as Lu Sheng was feeling a bit mentally exhausted, a faint voice suddenly sounded.

"Everyone, if you have something to discuss, just find me directly. Why bother my father?"

As this voice sounded, everyone looked over, only to see a woman in military uniform slowly appearing between heaven and earth.

When they saw this woman, their eyes all showed a hint of respect, and even apprehension.

"Greetings, Warden Kong!"

Everyone bowed slightly to the woman, and Yun Tianyang and Chen Shanhe did the same.

Lu Sheng, looking at the newcomer, also breathed a sigh of relief.

The person who arrived was none other than Kong Xin.

If Kong Xin hadn't appeared, Lu Sheng wouldn't have known if he could resist the enthusiasm of these people.

"I can understand the people from the Martial Alliance and the Martial Arts Family, but Chen Shanhe, as a military man, since when did the military need to build connections?"

Kong Xin said indifferently, her face cold.

Chen Shanhe's expression changed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he bowed again.

"This subordinate knows his mistake. Please punish me, Warden!"

Kong Xin was already in a bad mood at this moment. These Demon Cult members knew she was in Yun City and even launched an attack on Demon Slaughter City.

Although she returned in time and repelled the invasion of the alien demons in Demon Slaughter City, Demon Slaughter City also paid a considerable price.

Now, looking at these people from the rear, who were still trying to build connections and make themselves known, her heart was filled with a surge of frustration.

"All of you, get out!"

Kong Xin let out a low cry, and an extremely terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire Heaven and Earth Martial Hall.

Everyone's faces immediately turned extremely pale, but after bowing to Kong Xin, they hurriedly left.

"Senior Sister!"

Lu Sheng's face finally showed a smile, and he quickly bowed to Kong Xin.

Looking at Lu Sheng, Kong Xin's cold face softened a bit.

"You've worked hard during this time."

"Let's go, take me to see father!"

Lu Sheng nodded, and then led Kong Xin towards the back courtyard... Outside Yun City, on a small hill.

Zhao Changsheng slumped on the hillside, looking at Yun City in front of him, panting heavily, his chest still heaving.

He gazed at the now safe and sound Yun City, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

"That damned Wang Lin, he even wanted me to be cannon fodder. Bah, now he's been caught by the Martial Alliance, and I'd like to see if he can still act tough."

"Heaven Vein, so what if he's Heaven Vein! Does Heaven Vein mean he can treat us Human Vein people as less than human!"

"Go to hell!"

Zhao Changsheng was furious. With no one around, he cursed freely, venting the anger in his heart.

After cursing for a full fifteen minutes, Zhao Changsheng finally became parched and stopped his insults.

"Now it's over, the Demon Cult's plan failed. If I return to the Demon Cult like this, I'll inevitably be implicated. But now I've already been branded with the Demon Cult's mark, it's going to be difficult!"

Zhao Changsheng rubbed his temples in some pain.

His resentment towards Wang Lin also grew even stronger.

"If it weren't for that guy, I don't know how comfortable my life in the Demon Cult would have been. Damn it..."

Zhao Changsheng couldn't help but want to curse Wang Lin again.

But with no one around, Zhao Changsheng's barrage of insults felt like punching cotton.

It simply had no effect.

"So... my Junior Brother was taken away by the Martial Alliance, his life or death unknown, and you're still alive?"

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded in Zhao Changsheng's ear.

The moment he heard this voice, Zhao Changsheng's entire body stiffened. Then he suddenly turned his head to look in the direction the voice came from.

"Who!!"

He saw a young man in casual sportswear behind Zhao Changsheng, as if he had just finished a workout, standing perfectly still behind Zhao Changsheng, stretching his limbs.

Upon noticing Zhao Changsheng's gaze, the young man's face showed a smile.

"So, tell me, why was my Junior Brother taken away by the Martial Alliance, and you're still alive?"

"Deserting in battle, if the Protector of your Human Vein were to find out, what kind of crime would that be?"

Although the young man was smiling, his smile was extremely cold, especially as his words fell, the temperature of the entire world dropped considerably.

"You..."

Zhao Changsheng looked at the man in front of him, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Who are you?"

The young man stopped moving and slowly walked towards Zhao Changsheng, finally stopping about half a meter away from him.

"Heaven Vein... Wang Mu!"

Wang Mu!!

The moment he heard that name, Zhao Changsheng's pupils constricted sharply!

The Demon Cult's Heaven Vein, although mysterious in the eyes of the Great Xia officials, was not completely unfamiliar to those within the Demon Cult!

Having been in the Demon Cult for so many years, Zhao Changsheng had heard many rumors about the Heaven Vein.

Among them was a guy named Wang Mu.

Despite only having a cultivation below Golden Body, he stubbornly allied with alien demons and ambushed and killed several Great Xia Golden Body powerhouses.

He received great praise and rewards from the Demon God and the Demon Cult.

His status within the Demon Cult was extremely transcendent; even his superiors, the Protector-level figures of the Human Vein, had to be respectful when facing Wang Mu.

What Zhao Changsheng hadn't expected was that such a prominent figure of the Demon Cult would appear before him.

What Zhao Changsheng hadn't expected even more was that Wang Lin, whom he had just cursed, was this person's Junior Brother!

In an instant, beads of cold sweat began to appear on Zhao Changsheng's forehead.

"Gr-Great... Sir..., I..."

Zhao Changsheng suddenly became a bit stammering, unable to say anything for a moment.

A feeling of endless fear suddenly spread through his heart.

Such a person had found him, and Wang Lin was also the other party's Junior Brother.

Then he... In an instant, the fear in Zhao Changsheng's heart grew even stronger.

Wang Mu quietly looked at Zhao Changsheng, his eyes without any emotional fluctuations. After a moment, he curved his lips slightly, revealing a smile.

"To be able to come out alive, although you betrayed the Demon Cult's doctrine, you are quite clever. I like clever people."

"As for my useless Junior Brother, he was ultimately a bit foolish, thinking that with his petty tricks, he could make the Great Xia Sword Saint harm himself. That itself is a joke."

Wang Mu spoke as if he wasn't talking to Zhao Changsheng, but rather to himself.

This made Zhao Changsheng breathe a slight sigh of relief, but the next moment, Wang Mu's tone shifted slightly.

"However... although my Junior Brother is not accomplished, he is, after all, my blood relative, born of the same mother. Logically, I should make you accompany my Junior Brother in death."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Changsheng's pupils constricted slightly. Without any hesitation, he instantly turned his body, his Qi and Blood surging, preparing to escape.

But just as this thought arose, he felt a powerful force lock him in place.

Unable to move!

Drops of sweat fell from Zhao Changsheng's forehead.

He looked at the harmless young man in front of him in horror, his eyes filled only with endless fear.

"But I also said, I like clever people the most."

"So..."

Wang Mu looked at Zhao Changsheng with a smile.

"Do something for me. Once this is done, I will let you leave the Human Vein, and even join the Heaven Vein."

"But if this matter isn't done..."

A hint of danger flashed in Wang Mu's eyes.

"I will make you experience what it means to wish you were dead!"

Zhao Changsheng looked at Wang Mu in horror, couldn't help but swallow, and cautiously asked.

"What is it that you want me to do, Sir?"

Wang Mu smiled slightly, slowly walked to Zhao Changsheng's side, leaned close to his ear, and whispered.

"Go to Tianxing City, find the Star Academy, and then..."
