148: Immortal Demon Sect

Lin Yan nodded slightly and said softly, "No need for formalities. You are very good!"

He still admired Tang Feilong; the human race lacked people of such character.

A streak of light shot into Tang Feilong's body, not only completely healing his injuries but also containing a unique Dao rhyme (Dao Rhythm).

What is this?

A hint of surprise appeared on Tang Feilong's face as he carefully sensed the Dao rhyme (Dao Rhythm) within his body.

After a few breaths, his heart pounded violently, as if he had discovered something extraordinary!

He bowed again and said, "Thank you, sir, for your guidance. This junior has no way to repay you!"

He found that the trace of Dao rhyme (Dao Rhythm) granted to him by the other party seemed capable of guiding him past the Heavenly Venerable stage and even touching upon the Saint Realm.

He had already gained some insights, but now with this opportunity, the mists had cleared considerably.

Given time, he would certainly advance further. How could he not be grateful for such immense kindness?

"It's nothing. I hope you never forget your original intention."

Lin Yan shook his head and said.

Tang Feilong's body trembled, understanding the meaning of the words. His expression grew solemn as he said, "Yes, Feilong would never dare to forget!"

After inviting them to travel together without success, he departed with a group of human experts.

Seeing the matter conclude, Niu Fei also returned to Lin Yan's side and asked, "Master, what do we do next?"

He had been confined in the Small Starry Sky for two thousand years, long suffering from loneliness, usually doing nothing but cultivating.

Now that he was back in the outside world, he naturally wanted to have some fun.

"Oh, right, I still don't know what you two are called?"

Big Yellow Dog suddenly remembered something and said to the fat and thin men.

The fat man and the Tall and Thin Man exchanged glances, then said one after another, "My name is Tie Dan, and my name is Tie Zhu!"

...For a moment, the air solidified. Big Yellow Dog and Tu Qiang were dumbfounded.

"No, are you two really that casual with your names?"

Niu Fei also spoke, surprised.

The fat and thin men exchanged glances, both a little embarrassed. This wasn't the first time they had encountered such a situation.

Big Yellow Dog circled the two, his eyes full of contemplation.

Finally, he nodded and commented, "I have to say, it really suits you two!"

"Fatty, your name is Tie Dan, right?"

"Then you're Tie Zhu, aren't you?"

From a distance, the fat man looked like a meatball, while the thin man resembled a stone pillar, making them easy to distinguish.

The fat man quickly explained, "The two of us grew up in a mortal village since childhood; we're from the same village. We've forgotten our real names."

"Later, my master took us back to the sect, and we began our path of cultivation!"

He roughly described the situation to them.

Afterward, laughter and merriment continuously broke out, making it very lively.

Even the two expressed a desire to follow them, and the group had no objections.

In Big Yellow Dog's words, it was: follow Dog Master, and you won't lose out or be fooled!

Just as things were winding down for everyone.

A world-shaking event occurred in one of the Hundred Great Domains of the human race.

A force called the Immortal Demon Sect suddenly emerged, directly occupying the Heavenly Net Domain, one of the Hundred Great Domains.

They even renamed it the Immortal Demon Territory!

The Heavenly Net Domain ranked among the top fifty of the Hundred Great Domains and had a Half-Saint Expert guarding it, making it impregnable.

Yet, despite this, the Heavenly Net Domain fell completely in less than ten days, unified by the Immortal Demon Sect.

No one knew what backing this Immortal Demon Sect possessed. This could be seen as a provocation to the entire human race's high command.

However, the strength it currently displayed clearly indicated at least the presence of a Saint Realm Expert.

This was only the temporarily revealed strength; no one knew how deep its true foundation was.

But the human race's high command surprisingly did not make a significant statement about this, leading to countless speculations among people.

Some said that the Immortal Demon Sect was merely a flash in the pan, incapable of stirring up much trouble, and would vanish when the human race's high command made its move.

Others said that the Immortal Demon Sect had an immeasurable background, so much so that even the human race's high command dared not act rashly and was extremely wary of it.

But no matter what, the Immortal Demon Sect had already become a colossal power within the human race.

Its subordinates were polarized, consisting not only of cultivators practicing righteous methods but also demonic cultivators practicing demonic arts.

This was what astonished everyone: what kind of being was the leader of the Immortal Demon Sect?

How could he make such a seemingly incompatible force stand firm on the continent? ...The headquarters of the Dark Alliance was a desolate, dimly lit, eerie complex of palaces, rarely visited by people.

Inside a grand assembly hall capable of accommodating ten thousand people, a dense crowd of experts was gathered.

Any one of them, if singled out, was at least a Half-Step Venerable expert.

Moreover, they were potential candidates for cultivation, expected to break through to the Venerable Realm in the future.

It could be said that anyone present in this hall was, in a sense, a high-ranking member of the Dark Alliance.

The group standing at the very front exuded terrifying auras; they were all super experts of the Venerable Realm.

Roughly looking, there were over a hundred of them, truly a formidable force.

Even so, they all stood below, not seated; only five black crystal thrones were at the top!

Four of the seats had identical designs, were positioned parallel, and were on either side.

Only the highest seat was different, grand and magnificent in design, giving a sense of reigning over the world.

Clearly, the figure on this throne was the leader who commanded the Dark Alliance.

At this moment, four old men, dressed in identical black robes adorned with golden patterns, were seated on the four thrones.

Each of them exuded an extremely cold aura, but the qi they emitted gave a sense of transcending the mundane and entering sainthood.

These four were the four Vice-Leaders of the Dark Alliance, holding esteemed positions, second only to one person and above ten thousand.

And at the very top was a tall figure whose face was obscured, shrouded in black mist.

He was currently contemplating something, the sound of his finger tapping the black crystal armrest echoing through the hall.

"Do you know about the Immortal Demon Sect that just appeared?"

Suddenly, he spoke, causing everyone to tremble and ponder the meaning behind his words.

An expert at the peak of the Venerable Realm below hesitated for a moment, then respectfully said, "Reporting to the Alliance Leader, the Immortal Demon Sect's origins are mysterious, and its strength is unfathomable."

"It is said that when they unified the Heavenly Net Domain, they deployed a Half-Saint Expert. Their Sect Leader is probably at least a Saint Realm Expert!"

"What you've said are just the basics. Do you have a deeper understanding?"

The Dark Alliance Leader's voice rang out again.

"This!"

The expert who had just responded immediately became speechless, unable to say anything.

The Dark Alliance Leader did not get angry, but scanned the crowd, seemingly waiting for someone to provide the answer he desired.

But no one spoke; all heads were bowed, not daring to meet his gaze.

Finally, one of the four Vice-Leaders, a Half-Saint Expert, replied, "Alliance Leader, do you mean you want our Dark Alliance to ally with them?"

"Haha!"

Upon hearing this, the Dark Alliance Leader chuckled, "Indeed, you four understand me best. Yes, I do have that intention."

"Who is willing to make a trip to the Heavenly Net Domain? Oh no, it should now be called the Immortal Demon Territory."

The Half-Saint Expert who had just spoken volunteered, "This old man is willing to go!"

The Dark Alliance Leader nodded slightly.

"Then I'll trouble Elder Xuan with this matter. You can bring more people along to avoid them questioning our strength!"

"Yes!"

The Vice-Leader, known as Elder Xuan, accepted the order and left the hall with some people.

The Dark Alliance Leader looked out of the hall, a faint cold glint flickering in his eyes, lost in thought.
