120: Human Emperor Banner

"Si Guoyi, how dare you touch my people? You're courting death!"

Seeing his two bodyguards also controlled by Night Shadow through strange means, Lin Yang's crimson eyes blazed with light. When he looked at the appearing Night Shadow again, a fierce aura suddenly flashed within them.

"Hm? How did you know...?"

Si Guoyi, who had been manipulating everything from behind the scenes, suddenly trembled when he heard Lin Yang call out his name, his heart filled with astonishment.

He believed his concealment was flawless, so much so that even the Grand Elder of Celestial Immortal Academy and the Martial Saint powerhouses outside were unable to detect him.

Why, then, could Lin Yang see through his true form?

Si Guoyi was utterly shocked and couldn't help but show a hint of panic.

One must understand that the reason he dared to act so brazenly and recklessly within the Demon Immortal Tomb was not only due to his inherent boldness, but more importantly, because he believed no one could see through his true form.

Even if things were to be exposed later, it would be attributed to Night Shadow of the Heavenly Kingdom Sect, and have absolutely nothing to do with Si Guoyi!

If anyone wanted to settle scores, those forces would only go to the Heavenly Kingdom Sect for answers.

At that time, the main body, Holy Son Ye Chen, would be the one with the headache. The worst that could happen to him was a severe scolding from the main body afterwards; he would just endure it and it would pass.

But if this plan succeeded, the rewards would be incredibly profitable.

Enough to give him the confidence to challenge his main body!

However, the current situation completely exceeded Si Guoyi's expectations.

This Lin Yang... actually knew that he was the one manipulating Night Shadow from behind.

If Lin Yang were to expose him, he wouldn't even need to wait to meet his main body; he would probably be chopped into mincemeat by the Martial Saints outside.

[Obtained dread from Si Guoyi, plundered Luck points +50!]

[Obtained hostility from Si Guoyi, plundered Luck points +55!]

[Obtained killing intent from Si Guoyi, plundered Luck points +60!]

Feeling the Luck points increasing again in his Sea of Consciousness, Lin Yang looked at the uncertain expression on Si Guoyi's face opposite him, then smiled coldly and said, "How I know is none of your business!"

"Release my two bodyguards immediately; that is your only chance to live right now!"

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Night Shadow's lips curled into a disdainful sneer: "Hehe, I'm afraid that from the moment they became my killing puppets, these two were already dead men."

"..."

Lin Yang's face completely darkened upon hearing this.

"Since that's the case, then you won't have to wait for your master Holy Son Ye Chen to collect you..."

As his low voice faded, the killing intent in Lin Yang's eyes instantly surged.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, a vast Chaos Sea emerged from the Void Realm.

The Three-Leaf Azure Lotus and the Beautiful Mountain and River phenomena appeared simultaneously, then fiercely collided, erupting in endless beams of light.

Then, at the end of the great sea, an Azure Lotus Landscape Chart slowly ascended into the sky.

"You even know that!?"

Upon hearing Lin Yang mention his main body, Holy Son Ye Chen's name, Si Guoyi's expression couldn't help but change again.

He looked at the Azure Lotus Landscape Chart slowly rising behind Lin Yang, and the killing intent in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, pouring out without reservation.

"You know too much!"

"Today, I truly cannot let you live!"

As his shout fell, Si Guoyi waved his arms, and immediately dozens of figures behind him lunged forward, charging towards Lin Yang with a fearless attitude.

"Hehe, trying to deal with me with a bunch of defeated subordinates? You're looking down on me too much, aren't you?"

Facing the enemies surging from all directions, Lin Yang's face was as calm as water. He coldly glanced at Night Shadow not far away and then spoke in a deep voice to Si Guoyi behind him.

"Defeated subordinates?"

Si Guoyi chuckled upon hearing this: "Hehe, it seems I forgot to tell you that after these people transform into killing puppets, they will no longer have any sensation, becoming killing machines that know no pain or fatigue."

"And their combat power will increase by more than thirty percent as a result!"

"If you're capable, why don't you defeat these people for me to see again!"

Si Guoyi, confident of victory, looked at Lin Yang, who was surrounded, with a sneer on his face.

One must know that Yang Mingyu, Zhao Changwei, and the others were not ordinary individuals; each was a Prodigy with extraordinary combat power.

They had already reached the Peak of the Martial Lord Realm.

At this moment, even if their strength increased by half a percent, it would have a huge impact on the final outcome of a duel.

Let alone a full thirty percent increase!

Lin Yang looked at the blank-eyed figures in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

They were all Prodigies of their generation, yet now they were reduced to mere tools for others to kill.

Truly, lamentable, pitiful.

"Alas, so be it. Let me send you all, Fellow Daoists, on your final journey!"

The moment his voice fell, Lin Yang beckoned with his hand, and a black flag billowing with smoke was instantly clutched tightly in his grasp.

"Wuwuwu~"

Lin Yang shook his palm, and immediately countless fierce-looking vengeful spirits roared out from the black flag, charging towards the Prodigy killing puppets attacking from all directions.

"Tools that fear neither death nor pain? I have those too!"

Lin Yang, holding the black flag, smiled mischievously at Night Shadow not far away.

Bang bang bang!

In an instant, countless vengeful spirits that rushed out from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner became entangled with the Prodigies who had become killing puppets.

Although those Prodigies, after becoming killing puppets, had their strength nourished by secret arts, making them even slightly stronger than they were in life.

But after the Ten Thousand Souls Banner fell into Lin Yang's hands, with the blessing of immortal techniques, those vengeful spirits also had their eyes glowing red, their ferocity increasing several times over compared to when they were in Zhao Changwei's hands.

For a time, the two sides were locked in an inseparable struggle.

"Damn it! When did Zhao Changwei's Ten Thousand Souls Banner gain such power?"

Seeing this situation, Si Guoyi also recognized the origin of the black flag in Lin Yang's hand.

It was precisely the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Zhao Changwei's natal Dao artifact refined from a million resentful souls.

But what utterly perplexed him was, when did the Ten Thousand Souls Banner acquire such power?

The little ghosts released from the flag could actually stop his Prodigy killing puppets?

If the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had possessed such power earlier, would Zhao Changwei have been defeated by Lin Yang, or even later refined into a killing puppet by him?

Meanwhile, hearing the address from Si Guoyi's mouth.

Lin Yang corrected him with dissatisfaction: "Not so, this is the Human Emperor Banner, used by this Venerable One to save the suffering!"

"..."

Si Guoyi's face couldn't help but twitch upon hearing this.

Fuck your Human Emperor Banner!

The rolling black smoke coming from your flag has blackened the sky, how do you have the nerve to call it the Human Emperor Banner?
