80: Rescue Lin Xu

Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly: "The Cultivation Technique I Cultivate is rather special, so I can't use this heart of the martial king. Sect Master, please don't decline."

Of course!

He had the System as his backing; as long as he killed enemies, he could level up and add points, facing no Cultivation Bottleneck.

This heart of the martial king was completely useless to him.

Hearing this, Lin Tian was overjoyed and accepted the heart of the martial king.

"Since that's the case, I'll accept it. This heart of the martial king is indeed very important to me!"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice: "Sect Master, don't be in a hurry to Fuse it, there's still another problem."

Hearing this, Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "What problem?"

"This heart of the martial king grew in a blood pool. If my guess is correct, it grew by absorbing the vital blood of treasure hunters who entered the Lesser Tongtian Secret Realm over the years."

"In that case, the heart of the martial king contains a very strong Evil Qi. If you absorb it rashly, your mind will be affected, and you might even fall into the Demonic Path."

Lin Tian was startled and said in a deep voice: "That's certainly a possibility! The most urgent task is to find a Spirit Treasure to purify this heart of the martial king and cleanse it of its blood Evil Qi."

Then Lin Tian sighed again.

"However, the value of such a heaven and earth Spirit Treasure is no less than that of the heart of the martial king. As a One-Star Martial Spirit, where can I find one?"

Lu Xingchen smiled slightly: "I have such a Spirit Treasure right here!"

With that, Lu Xingchen opened the System store and purchased a purification crystal for a thousand exchange points.

Then he took out the purification crystal from his Storage Ring and handed it to Lin Tian.

"With it, it should be able to cleanse the heart of the martial king of its blood Evil Qi."

Lin Tian excitedly took the purification crystal, his gaze filled with gratitude as he looked at Lu Xingchen.

"Lu Xingchen, I really don't know what to say! You've truly helped me a great deal!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled: "Sect Master has shown me the kindness of nurturing, and Lu Xingchen can never forget it. I will be leaving Lingxiao Sect soon, so this purification crystal can be considered a farewell gift to the Sect Master!"

Lin Tian nodded heavily, then said to the Sect Masters of the other two major Sects: "Fellow Daoists, all the experts of the Three Heretical Sects have been eliminated by us. Once we return to the outside world, we will immediately declare war on the Three Heretical Sects and completely eradicate them. Do you have any objections?"

Qin Jiu, the Sect Master of Nine Heavens Sect, said solemnly: "It should be so! Once I return, I will mobilize the entire Sect's strength to assist Senior Brother Lin Tian."

Li Yan, the Sect Master of Tianyan Sect, also said loudly: "Just follow Senior Brother Lin Tian's orders!"

After receiving affirmative replies from the two Sect Masters, Lin Tian did not linger. He led everyone back the way they came, leaving the Lesser Tongtian Secret Realm.

After leaving the Lesser Tongtian Secret Realm, Lingxiao Sect, Nine Heavens Sect, and Tianyan Sect jointly declared war on the Three Heretical Sects, stirring up a bloody storm.

As for Haotian Sect and Five Elements Sect, not a single expert from their Sects returned. They only dared to cower within their Sects, fearing that Lingxiao Sect would eliminate them along the way.

Lin Tian did not participate in the war but immediately went into seclusion to attempt to Fuse the heart of the martial king.

Lu Xingchen also had an important matter to attend to: rescuing Senior Brother Lin Xu.

In Lu Xingchen's room on Little Bamboo Peak of Lingxiao Sect.

He released Gu Yuan but did not remove the Seal on the hunyuan umbrella.

Lu Xingchen went straight to the point: "Gu Yuan, you said Senior Brother Lin Xu isn't dead. Where did you imprison him? Did you abuse him?"

Gu Yuan smiled bitterly: "I imprisoned Lin Xu in a water dungeon in my Sect Master's room, merely chaining him up, without any abuse."

"Lu Xingchen, if you are willing to let me go, I can immediately release Lin Xu and lead all the people of Five Elements Sect into reclusion, no longer opposing Lingxiao Sect."

"I just want to survive."

Lu Xingchen said indifferently: "It's not impossible to let you go, after all, Five Elements Sect is also a Sect recognized by the Righteous Path Alliance. But I'll only consider it after I rescue Senior Brother Lin Xu!"

"Gu Yuan, draw out the defense map of Five Elements Sect and the exact location of the water dungeon. Once I rescue Senior Brother Lin Xu, I'll let you go!"

Gu Yuan nodded heavily: "I'll listen to everything you say."

Now that he was the meat on the chopping block, he had no other choice.

After obtaining the map from Gu Yuan, Lu Xingchen immediately rode Xiao You and flew towards the Five Elements Sect's base.

Five Elements Sect was on the other side of Sunset Forest. To achieve the fastest speed, Lu Xingchen directly ordered Xiao You to cross Sunset Forest.

His combat power was already comparable to a Martial Spirit, so he no longer needed to fear the Yao Beasts in Sunset Forest, and flying Yao Beasts were even rarer.

As he flew over the center of Sunset Forest, Lu Xingchen heard a Dragon roar, seemingly asserting its sovereignty.

His heart was startled.

There was actually a Dragon Clan Demonic Beast within Sunset Forest!

Dragon Clan Demonic Beasts were at the top of the pyramid, always extremely powerful beings, not to be easily provoked.

Besides, Lu Xingchen had no feud with this Dragon-type Demonic Beast, so there was no need to provoke it.

He immediately ordered Xiao You to speed up.

The giant Dragon in the center seemed to be wary of Xiao You as well and did not fly up to cause trouble for the two of them.

After a day and a night, one person and one Dragon finally arrived in the territory of Five Elements Sect.

Lu Xingchen put Xiao You into his mount space, then disguised himself as Gu Yuan and took a breath concealing pill.

This disguise technique was taught to him by Yun Li, and it was indeed very effective.

Then he swaggered towards the Mountain Gate of Five Elements Sect.

The Five Elements Sect Disciples at the Mountain Gate bowed when they saw Lu Xingchen.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Lu Xingchen waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Make way quickly, I have something very important to do!"

Hearing this, those Disciples dared not delay and quickly made way.

Lu Xingchen walked all the way to Gu Yuan's Sect Master's room. Along the way, people kept greeting him, but Lu Xingchen ignored them all.

Those Disciples and Elders of Five Elements Sect did not suspect anything, as their Sect Master had always been like this.

Half an hour later, Lu Xingchen finally reached the Sect Master's room.

Outside the door, there were two Martial Masters and a Third-Grade Spirit Formation guarding it.

Lu Xingchen waved his hand, dismissed the guards, then clasped his hands together.

Hundreds of Spiritual Seals flew out from his palms and merged into the Spirit Formation before him.

In just a quarter of an hour, the Spirit Formation was broken without making a sound.

Lu Xingchen secretly rejoiced in his heart.

It was a good thing he had become a Spirit Array Master; otherwise, if he had forced his way through the Formation, it would definitely have made a sound.

In that case, it would be difficult to leave safely with Senior Brother Lin Xu.

In the future, he still needed to gain more professional experience as a Spirit Array Master and quickly advance to Fourth-Grade!

After entering the Sect Master's room, Lu Xingchen, as Gu Yuan had instructed, opened a mechanism on the wall. The wall split open, revealing a dark path.

He followed the path downwards, found the water dungeon, and Lin Xu, who was imprisoned within it.

Senior Brother Lin Xu did not look much different from his portrait, just much thinner. Lu Xingchen recognized him at a glance.
