148: Goodbye Wang Jie

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Fellow Daoist Han Feng, please take us to see the Sect Master to discuss the matter of killing Wang Jie."

Hearing this, Han Feng was slightly stunned.

He hadn't expected that the decision-maker among the five wasn't Long Yang, but this young and somewhat immature Lu Xingchen.

He had observed from the shadows earlier that Long Yang was an Eight-Star Martial King, a Realm comparable to his own, and very likely stronger than him.

As for Lu Xingchen, he was merely a Three-Star Martial King.

Even if his archery was good, he couldn't possibly be Long Yang's opponent, could he?

Perhaps there was some connection!

"Alright, everyone, please follow me!"

Two hours later, the group arrived at the heart of the Black Wind Domain and entered a manor.

The guards at the manor's entrance alone possessed Martial Spirit strength.

However, this was normal.

The Black Wind Domain was a place where the strong preyed on the weak; without Martial Spirit or higher strength, survival was impossible.

In the reception hall, Lu Xingchen met the Sect Master of the Black Horn Sect, Jiang Heng, as well as another Vice Sect Master, Han Shui.

Lu Xingchen looked at their cultivation levels; Jiang Heng was a Ten-Star Martial King, only a step away from the Martial Emperor Realm.

This was also very normal.

Without some strength, how could one become the Sect Master of one of the largest Sects in the Black Wind Domain?

Han Shui, on the other hand, was a charming young woman, quite alluring.

Her strength was also not weak, a Nine-Star Martial King.

After a few pleasantries, Lu Xingchen went straight to the point.

"Sect Master Jiang should be aware that our target is only Wang Jie; we are not interested in the affairs of the Black Wind Domain. Since you've called us here, let's discuss how to deal with Wang Jie."

Jiang Heng nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Of course. Our Black Horn Sect has always suppressed the Black Emperor Sect until Wang Jie joined them, which gave them the ability to contend with us."

"I've decided to launch a cleansing operation against the Black Emperor Sect's headquarters in three days. At that time, the five experts from the Cangxuan Sect only need to help me deal with Wang Jie; I'll handle the rest."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned.

"Although the Black Horn Sect is slightly stronger, if it comes to a full-scale Sect battle, even if you manage to eliminate them, your Black Horn Sect will pay a heavy price, won't it?"

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, "Theoretically, yes. So, I've reached an agreement with the Sect Master of the Black Dragon Sect to jointly attack the Black Emperor Sect."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was a little surprised.

This Jiang Heng had quite the strong methods!

Not only did he use the Cangxuan Sect's Disciples as enforcers, but he could also form an Alliance with the Black Dragon Sect.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "In that case, there shouldn't be a problem. However, let me make it clear first: the five of us will only deal with Wang Jie. Once Wang Jie is killed, we will leave immediately."

Jiang Heng nodded heavily, "Of course! Please rest in the private room for now; I need to plan the attack on the Black Emperor Sect."

As soon as he walked out of the meeting room, the System's notification sound rang in Lu Xingchen's ears.

"[Congratulations, host, you have received a mission: Revenge]"

"[Mission Requirement: Kill Wang Jie]"

"[Mission Reward: 100,000 experience points, Heaven Swallowing Art upgraded to earth rank low grade.]"

Lu Xingchen was overjoyed.

Dealing with Wang Jie was something he had to do anyway, and now there was even a System reward.

Why not take what's given for free!

100,000 experience points might not be much, but upgrading the grade of the Heaven Swallowing Art was very important.

After these days of fighting, Lu Xingchen discovered that the profound grade high-rank Heaven Swallowing Art could increase four small Realms, lasting for half an hour with a one-day cooldown.

This was already very good. As expected of something given by the System, it was like a cheat!

If it could be upgraded to earth rank low grade, the amplification effect would surely increase, making his future battles much easier!

At the same time, at the Black Emperor Sect's headquarters.

Three men sat in the meeting hall: two white-haired old men and one handsome middle-aged man.

The two old men were the Black Emperor Sect's Sect Master and Vice Sect Master, Li Chen and Sun Yang, respectively.

As for the handsome middle-aged man, he was Wang Jie, who had fought Lu Xingchen previously.

Li Chen tore up the note in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Wang Jie, you've really brought us great trouble. Five Inner Sect Disciples from the Cangxuan Sect have arrived, led by Long Yang, who is ranked sixth on the Heaven Rankings."

Wang Jie said in a deep voice, "I know Long Yang; he's just an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple, nothing special. I only care about Lu Xingchen, Sect Master, has Lu Xingchen arrived?"

Li Chen nodded slightly, "He has."

Hearing this, Wang Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good!"

"I deliberately exposed my identity to lure Lu Xingchen here. Last time in Blazing Sun City, I couldn't succeed due to the City Lord's intervention. Now, in the Black Wind Domain, there won't be any extra experts to help him! This time, I will definitely capture Lu Xingchen!"

Li Chen said in a deep voice, "Wang Jie, you promised me that Saint Lin Yuan of the Cangxuan Sect would protect us. Even if we kill Lu Xingchen, we wouldn't be targeted by the Cangxuan Sect, and we would also receive a earth rank high grade Spiritual Artifact. I hope you and Saint Lin Yuan don't go back on your word."

Wang Jie nodded slightly, "Of course!"

During these three days, Lu Xingchen had been continuously refining Medicinal Pills. In addition to the necessary fifth-grade rejuvenation pill and fifth-grade qi restoration pill, he also refined ten Dragon Power Pills to prepare for the upcoming major battle.

Although Jiang Heng's words sounded reassuring, and his task seemed easy.

But it was, after all, a battle of life and death, so it was best to make as many preparations as possible to prevent any accidents.

Three days passed quickly.

On the morning of the fourth day, Jiang Heng summoned the five of them, Lu Xingchen, and at the same time mobilized all the forces of the Black Horn Sect to launch an attack on the Black Emperor Sect.

Before setting off, Lu Xingchen gave each of the four people five rejuvenation pills, five qi recovery pills, and two Dragon Power Pills.

"Don't be stingy with consuming Medicinal Pills; prioritize your own safety. If you run out, come to me for more."

Jiang E looked at Lu Xingchen with eyes full of admiration.

"Junior Brother Lu, you are truly wealthy; you casually hand out dozens of fifth-grade pellets/pills! I usually can't bear to take even one."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I am an Alchemist, so the cost of acquiring Medicinal Pills is very low. But cultivating an Alchemist is not easy; it requires not only excellent teachers but also a large investment in Spirit Medicine consumption."

What Lu Xingchen didn't say was that he had the System.

As long as he refined Medicinal Pills, he could increase his professional experience points. Once the experience points were full, he could upgrade, without needing teachers or a learning process at all.

Ah!

Having a cheat feels so good!

Jiang E nodded slightly, "You're right."

The war between the two Sects was on the verge of breaking out, stirring up a bloody storm throughout the Black Wind Domain.

The five of them, Lu Xingchen, did not participate in the main battle. They simply followed Jiang Heng, and after converging with the top combat forces of the Black Dragon Sect, they flew together towards the Black Emperor Sect's headquarters, heading straight for Wang Jie.

An hour later, above the Black Emperor Sect's headquarters, Lu Xingchen saw Li Chen, Sun Yang, and Wang Jie, all looking composed.

Wang Jie waved at Lu Xingchen and said with a smile, "Lu Xingchen, long time no see!"
