75: conflict

“That’s right, it’s Lu Xingchen. Sect Leader, you ordered us to collect information on Lu Xingchen at all times, and all the Disciples in the entire Sect have seen Lu Xingchen’s portrait, so there’s absolutely no way to be mistaken!”

Ghost Frenzy clapped his hands repeatedly.

“Good, Lu Xingchen, this old man has searched for you for half a year without success, and now you’ve actually delivered yourself to my doorstep! This time, I will definitely avenge Ghost Ink!”

“Notify all hall masters to gather within half a day and come with me to kill Lu Xingchen!”

Upon hearing this, that Disciple turned pale with fright.

“Sect Leader, the Lesser Tongtian Secret Realm hasn’t started yet. Wouldn’t it be bad to clash with Lingxiao Sect at this time?”

Ghost Frenzy said sternly, “That depends on whether the people of Lingxiao Sect have the guts to clash with me! Go and deliver the message!”

“Understood!”

The Disciples of Nine Ghosts Sect were quite efficient, leading everyone to a courtyard where each person had their own private, spacious room.

Closing his door, Lu Xingchen immediately began practicing arranging Spirit Formations.

Although he usually relied on Dou Qi for combat, having multiple skills meant more options.

If he encountered an enemy who used Spirit Formations, it could have a miraculous effect, just like last time at the medicinal garden in the Chuyuan Secret Realm.

Now his combat power had reached the Martial Spirit Realm, and he had also become a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, so his Spirit Formation cultivation had slowed down.

Half a day passed just like that.

Relying on the formation diagrams left by that Senior, Lu Xingchen’s Spirit Formation profession experience value soared.

Half a day passed just like that.

Lu Xingchen was in his room grinding for experience when an angry shout echoed throughout the entire courtyard.

“Lu Xingchen, get out here!”

Lu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

It must be the people from Nine Ghosts Sect looking for him!

After all, he had killed Ghost Ink in the Chuyuan Secret Realm back then, but let Gui Yao’er escape.

But Lu Xingchen wasn’t too worried.

After all, with his current strength, he wasn't afraid of a Third-Grade Sect at all.

Everyone from Lingxiao Sect came out of their rooms and surrounded Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen was a member of Lingxiao Sect, and now that he was in trouble, there was no reason not to support him.

Ghost Frenzy, accompanied by a group of hall masters in the Great Martial Master Realm, surrounded the courtyard.

He wore black, his Face grim, and he confronted Lin Tian.

The experts from the other six Sects also heard the commotion and came out to watch.

Lu Xingchen, relying on the System's passive ability, saw through the strength of all his competitors.

Nine Ghosts Sect Leader Ghost Frenzy, a One-Star Martial Spirit, brought seven hall masters, all of whom were high-star Great Martial Masters.

Blood Robe Sect Leader Xue Xu, a Ten-Star Great Martial Master, brought eight high-star Great Martial Masters.

Heavenly Demon Sect Master Qin Ming, a Ten-Star Great Martial Master, brought six high-star Great Martial Masters.

Five Elements Sect Master Gu Yuan, a One-Star Martial Spirit, brought five high-star Great Martial Masters.

Haotian Sect Master Li Hao, a Ten-Star Great Martial Master, brought seven high-star Great Martial Masters.

Tianyan Sect Master Li Yan, a Ten-Star Great Martial Master, brought seven high-star Great Martial Masters.

Nine Heavens Sect Master Qin Jiu, a Ten-Star Great Martial Master, brought six high-star Great Martial Masters.

The opponents' strengths were all very high!

More importantly, besides Lin Tian who had advanced to the Martial Spirit Realm, there were actually other Martial Spirits here.

And Gu Yuan and Ghost Frenzy both had grievances with Lingxiao Sect.

If they joined forces, the situation would be very unfavorable.

But there was no need to worry; good and evil have been at odds since ancient times, so the probability of this happening was very low.

What's more, he also had an Earth Fiend Puppet at the Two-Star Martial Spirit Realm!

Lin Tian stepped forward and said in a deep voice, “Ghost Frenzy, are you looking for trouble with Lu Xingchen?”

Ghost Frenzy’s Face was grim, and he said in a deep voice, “Lu Xingchen killed my beloved Disciple Ghost Ink in the Chuyuan Secret Realm. I have an irreconcilable grudge with him. Today, I must have Lu Xingchen’s life!”

“Lin Tian, if you know what’s good for you, hand over Lu Xingchen. Otherwise, there will be no need for your Lingxiao Sect to participate in this Lesser Tongtian Secret Realm!”

Lin Tian sneered, “Well killed! Nine Ghosts Sect is inherently an Evil Path, and I’ve long wanted to get rid of them. Lu Xingchen has rendered a great service, and I should protect him even more.”

Hearing Lin Tian’s words, Ghost Frenzy was furious.

He hadn't expected Lin Tian to show him no Face at all!

In his anger, he directly activated his Dou Qi.

The strength of the Martial Spirit Realm was fully displayed.

For a moment, the entire scene was in an uproar.

“What? Ghost Frenzy actually took that step!”

“With a Martial Spirit Realm Expert in charge, Nine Ghosts Sect already has the confidence to challenge a Fourth-Grade Sect!”

“No wonder Ghost Frenzy is so arrogant, not hesitating to fall out with Lingxiao Sect; it turns out he has already broken through!”

“Now Lu Xingchen is in danger. A Great Martial Master and a Martial Spirit are different beings; Lin Tian definitely can’t stop Ghost Frenzy.”

Lin Tian also frowned, looking at Ghost Frenzy with a hint of apprehension.

“Ghost Frenzy, so this is your confidence!”

Ghost Frenzy put his hands on his hips and said proudly, “Lin Tian, either hand over Lu Xingchen, or everyone from your Lingxiao Sect stays here. Choose!”

Lin Tian shook his head lightly.

“You’re not the only one who has become a Martial Spirit!”

With that, Lin Tian also activated his Dou Qi.

The pressure of a Martial Spirit Realm Expert reappeared.

Seeing this scene, everyone watching was terrified.

“Holy crap, no way? Lin Tian actually broke through to Martial Spirit too!”

“This is getting interesting. Both are Martial Spirit Experts; if they really fight to the death, it will most likely be a lose-lose situation.”

“It’s incredible that two Martial Spirits have appeared in this small place, Fengxue City (Wind Snow City)!”

Ghost Frenzy’s expression became quite ugly.

“You, you actually took that step too!”

Lin Tian said in a deep voice, “Ghost Frenzy, I must protect Lu Xingchen today. Either you fight me to the death, in which case both our Sects will lose the qualification to go to the Chuyuan Secret Realm. Or, get lost!”

Ghost Frenzy hesitated for a while, then still turned and left.

“Lu Xingchen, in the Lesser Tongtian Secret Realm, I will definitely kill you!”

Lu Xingchen frowned, not speaking.

Lin Tian also led everyone back to the courtyard, talking to Lu Xingchen alone.

“Thank you, Sect Master, for protecting me with all your might!” Lu Xingchen chuckled.

Lin Tian said in a deep voice, “Lu Xingchen, don’t make fun of me! You are the strongest presence in the entire place. I originally wanted to hide my strength and deliver a fatal blow to the Three Heretical Sects in the Lesser Tongtian Secret Realm, but I didn’t expect to be exposed before even entering the Secret Realm.”

“That Ghost Frenzy has also advanced to Martial Spirit, so it won’t be easy to take them down. At that time, I’ll have to rely on you!”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “Don’t worry, Sect Master, when the time is right, I will act. Since Ghost Frenzy wants to kill me, I won’t let him leave the Lesser Tongtian Secret Realm alive either.”

Lin Tian nodded heavily, “From now on, I’ll have to rely on you.”

“Oh, by the way, Sect Master, I have some bad news.”

Lin Tian was slightly startled, then said in a deep voice, “What?”

“That Gu Yuan of Five Elements Sect has also broken through to the Martial Spirit Realm.”
