350: Four Alliances

Lu Xingchen immediately shed his disguise and reverted to his original appearance.

"Senior Brother Lin Xu, long time no see!"

Lin Xu was slightly startled, then overjoyed.

"Lu Xingchen, you've actually come to the Central Province too? Oh no, I should call you War God His Excellency."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "The Tianyuan Continent is so vast, and there are so many people named Lu Xingchen. How can you be so sure I'm the War God?"

Lin Xu smiled and said, "I have absolute confidence in you. The moment I first saw you, I knew you possessed the Talent of a God of War."

"I owe you a favor. Since this ninth-grade elixir is in your hands, I won't try to take it!"

Lu Xingchen asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Lin Xu, didn't the Righteous Path Alliance stipulate that only members of the Five Sects could enter this Immortal Cave? How did you get in?"

Lin Xu chuckled, "I haven't joined any Sect, so the Righteous Path Alliance can't control me. And there isn't just one entrance to this Martial Saints Cave Mansion."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's heart was startled.

"Then you're really impressive. Since you have so much confidence in me, I'll also boldly guess that the 'Rising Sun,' one of the eight prodigies, is you, right?"

Lin Xu chuckled, "Don't mind these empty titles. These days, I've been training in the Central Province, constantly challenging the Saints of Ninth-Rank Sects to hone my swordsmanship. Relying on the power of the immortal slaying sword, I fortunately defeated Lin Aotian of the Sacred Dragon Palace, and was then given the title of one of the eight prodigies."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and smiled, "Then have you crossed swords with the other members of the eight prodigies of the central province?"

Lin Xu smiled bitterly, "I've fought all of them, but I've lost more than I've won. The one who shocked me the most was Luo Chen of Luoshen Palace; the pressure he exerted on me was simply too strong. Even with the immortal slaying sword in hand, I was still no match for him, and I couldn't even force him to use his full power."

"Luo Chen?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, committing the name to memory.

"Then Senior Brother Lin Xu, since you've fought all the eight prodigies of the central province and have nothing to do now, why don't you come back to Lingyun Sect with me? Giving you the identity of a Grand Elder is no problem."

Lin Xu shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "You're dreaming, kid. I won't be bound by Sect affiliations. However, I do need to stay by your side for a while and occasionally act as your bodyguard."

"Because of the immortal slaying sword in your hand. I heard you obtained the immortal slaying sword from the Fourth War God, Xiao Yuxin, and it should be able to be used in conjunction with my immortal slaying sword. Our Dual Sword Combination will definitely unleash immense power."

"During this time, I'll research the mysteries of Dual Sword Combination with you, and then we'll challenge Luo Chen together. How does that sound?"

Lu Xingchen nodded heavily, "Great! I also want to see what kind of power two of the four immortal slaying swords can unleash when gathered together. But please keep my identity a secret, Senior Brother Lin Xu; I don't want to get into trouble."

Lin Xu nodded slightly, "Of course."

"Since that's the case, let's head back to Lingyun Sect first!"

"Alright!"

Lu Xingchen reverted to his 'Lu Dazhuang' appearance, then led his two Senior Brother and Senior Sister, and Lin Xu into the light circle.

The scenery shifted rapidly, and by the time he regained his senses, he had already appeared in the Wangshu Mountain Range.

Liu Ruyan hurried over, smiling, "How was it? Any gains?"

Li Changbai nodded slightly, smiling, "Our gains are considerable. Especially for my Junior Brother and me; my Soul Power has broken through to the Heavenly Realm, and his Realm has also broken through to the Martial Venerable. This time, our Lingyun Sect has truly reaped a bountiful harvest!"

Liu Ruyan was delighted, a broad smile spreading across her face.

"That's good!"

Li Changbai said in a deep voice, "However, there's also bad news. In the Martial Saints Cave Mansion, the forces of the other four Sects jointly attacked us, and Junior Brother eliminated all of them, with only two from Chiyan Sect escaping. They might seek revenge."

No sooner had Li Changbai finished speaking than Lin Junyi, the Sect Master of Yinkui Sect, flew over with the experts of his Sect.

Wang Yan, the Sect Master of Chiyan Sect, Li Yi, the Sect Master of Liang Yi Sect, and Li Chuang, the Sect Master of Qingnang Sect, all followed behind Lin Junyi.

"Liu Ruyan, your Lingyun Sect is truly going too far, actually slaughtering all the forces of our four Sects! Today, you must pay the price!"

Liu Ruyan snorted coldly.

"It was clearly your four Sects' forces that ganged up on Junior Brother, trying to put us to death, and now you have the nerve to blame us? If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

Lin Junyi sneered, "Liu Ruyan, you don't actually think you can resist our Four Sects Alliance by yourself, do you?"

Liu Ruyan's expression was ashen.

The four Sect Masters were all Eight-Star Martial Venerables, and there were over twenty other Martial Venerable Experts present. On the Lingyun Sect's side, there were only their four Senior Brother and Senior Sister and Junior Brother's helper.

The disparity in combat power was too great; they couldn't possibly win.

Liu Ruyan had found it strange before, why the other four Sect Masters brought so many people just to enter an Immortal Cave once.

It turned out they were waiting for her here!

Lu Xingchen smiled bitterly, "Senior Brother Lin Xu, I'm truly sorry. We've just met, and I'm already dragging you into danger."

Lin Xu smiled faintly, "It's fine. It is the fortune of my life to fight alongside Junior Brother."

Liu Ruyan said in a deep voice, "This time, our Lingyun Sect has fallen. What conditions do you want? We can discuss it."

Lin Junyi sneered, "Killing you all here, the assets of Lingyun Sect and that soul refining pill will also belong to us. Everyone, let's attack!"

With that, Lin Junyi summoned a Puppet.

This Puppet was the Yinkui Sect's most precious treasure, also possessing the strength of an Eight-Star Martial Venerable.

Suddenly, the Four Sects Alliance had five Eight-Star Martial Ancestors.

"Word Spirit, Dustless Land!"

The four from Lingyun Sect simultaneously activated the "Dustless Land." The four colorless barriers fused together, forming a powerful barrier.

The over twenty Martial Venerable Experts of the Four Sects Alliance simultaneously launched attacks at the four.

Ripples appeared on the colorless barrier, and cracks quickly formed.

There was no other way; there were simply too many opponents!

Half an hour later, under the full assault of the Four Sects Alliance, the "Dustless Land" was forcibly destroyed.

Lin Junyi let out a cold laugh and said sternly, "The strength of Lingyun Sect is truly formidable! With just four people, you can withstand the attacks of so many of us."

"If I hadn't had the foresight to stop the Alliance in advance, I'm afraid our four great Sects would have gradually been swallowed up. But now, Liu Ruyan, it's time to say goodbye to your Junior Brother and Junior Sister!"

With the "Dustless Land" broken, all four of them spat out a mouthful of blood, their aura significantly weakened.

Lu Xingchen held the offering token given by Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall in his hand.

If Lin Junyi truly intended to kill them, he would have no choice but to reveal his identity!
