116: Chapter 116 The Golden Core Elder Arrives on a Mission

Inside the main hall, the light was dim. Hundreds of soul lamps, fueled by the grease of unknown Yao Beasts, burned incessantly, casting a ghastly, ghostly glow over the hideous statues of Demonic Path gods.

Lin Xiaotian stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the coordinate flickering with ominous red light on the "Bloodline Compass" before him. His eyes were gloomy, unreadable.

Baifeng City...

A small, border town in the southern part of the Eastern Region that he had never even heard of.

That bitch Leng Yuechan, she actually... escaped there?

Moreover, looking at the stable and vibrant Qi fluctuations on the compass, her injuries were not only not worsening, but...

They were actually healing?!

"Trash!"

Lin Xiaotian cursed in a low voice. The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to drop the temperature of the entire hall by several degrees.

He knew very well just how terrifying Leng Yuechan's talent was.

Ice Dao Body!

That was a one-in-ten-thousand, top-tier cultivation Physique!

Once she healed and returned to the Sect, not only would his son Lin Mo's position as "Chief Disciple" be lost, but even his own crimes of colluding with the Demonic Path and harming fellow Disciples would eventually... be exposed to the light of day!

By then, even with his cultivation as a Golden Core Mid-Stage Immortal Master, he would absolutely be unable to withstand the endless... fury of the Yunlan Sect!

Therefore, no matter what!

No matter the cost!

That woman must die!

And not just die, but... die in a way where her Divine Soul is completely annihilated, never to be reincarnated!

It's just that...

Lin Xiaotian frowned slightly.

He held a prestigious position as an Outer Sect Elder of the Black Fiend Sect, and his every move attracted attention.

If he were to personally make a move and go to a small border town outside the Black Fiend Sect's sphere of influence to hunt down a "traitor" of the Yunlan Sect...

No matter how secretly he did it, it would inevitably leave traces.

Once someone caught hold of this, the future troubles would be endless.

Therefore, this matter must absolutely not be handled by him... personally.

He had to find someone with sufficient strength who was also absolutely reliable...

An agent.

A suitable candidate immediately appeared in his mind.

He took out a sound-transmission Jade Slip and imprinted a strand of his Divine Sense into it.

A moment later.

A thin, middle-aged man with a sinister face, a hooked nose, and thin lips, looking to be about forty or fifty years old, appeared in the center of the hall like a ghost, silently.

He bowed respectfully to Lin Xiaotian.

"Subordinate Golden Core Master Wu Yong, greets Elder Lin!"

This person was Lin Xiaotian's most trusted subordinate.

He was also an Early Golden Core Stage Immortal Master in the Black Fiend Sect who had luckily broken through his Bottleneck a few years ago!

"Elder Wu, no need for formalities." Lin Xiaotian's voice was flat and waveless.

He slowly turned around, his turbid eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through people's hearts, falling upon Golden Core Master Wu Yong.

"I have a task for you."

"Please instruct me, Elder Lin!" Golden Core Master Wu Yong bowed his head even lower.

Lin Xiaotian walked slowly to the table, his fingers unconsciously crushing a black ant that happened to be crawling across it.

He didn't even look down at the pitiful insect.

He just said indifferently, in a tone as if he were discussing something as trivial as "what to have for dinner":

"Make a trip to Baifeng City in the southern part of the Eastern Region."

"There is a Yunlan Sect traitor there named 'Leng Yuechan'."

"Take a few people with you."

"Her, and... everyone who dares to shelter her or associate with her..."

"Handle them all cleanly."

"Make it... clean."

Golden Core Master Wu Yong felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this.

He knew that for Elder Lin to be this serious, to the point of sending a Golden Core Master like himself, it was definitely no small matter.

But he didn't ask any questions.

As Lin Xiaotian's most loyal dog, all he needed to do was...

Execute the order!

"This subordinate, obeys!" He replied in a deep voice without hesitation.

In his view, performing an "execution" mission in a small border town where even Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators were scarce...

Was simply... using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, it would be easy.

"Hmm." Lin Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction. "To ensure nothing goes wrong, I will also mobilize five Late Stage Foundation Establishment Stage elites from my personal guard to accompany you."

"You, set off immediately."

"Yes!"

Golden Core Master Wu Yong bowed again, then his figure flickered, and like melting into the shadows, he exited the hall silently.

Inside the hall, deathly silence returned.

Lin Xiaotian slowly walked back in front of the Bloodline Compass.

He looked at the coordinate point named "Baifeng City" on the compass, which was still flickering with an ominous red light.

A flash of cruel indifference towards all living things crossed his eyes.

In his view, that city, and all the living beings within it...

Were already, a group of...

Ants, waiting to die.

...

Half an hour later.

Black Fiend Sect, Forbidden Ground at the back of the mountain.

A massive flying ship, pitch-black all over, about ten zhang long, shaped like a hideous ghost head, slowly rose from the ground amidst a violent fluctuation of energy!

Black Cloud Ship!

A high-speed war Magical Artifact specifically crafted by the Black Fiend Sect at the cost of countless Heaven And Earth Treasure!

Its flight speed was enough to cover ten thousand li in a day!

Golden Core Master Wu Yong stood expressionless at the head of the flying ship.

Behind him, five elite Disciples of the Black Fiend Sect, wearing heavy black armor, with fierce auras, all having reached the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Stage, stood silently with their hands by their sides, like five emotionless killing machines.

"Set off!"

Following Golden Core Master Wu Yong's order!

Hum—!

On the hull of the Black Cloud Ship, countless profound Demonic Path runes suddenly lit up!

The next instant!

The entire flying ship turned into a streak of black light that tore through the sky, carrying a sharp whistling sound as it broke through the air, heading towards the east, towards that distant...

Direction of Baifeng City, which was still completely ignorant of this.

It sped away!

A disaster of extinction, like a dimensionality-reduction strike.

Was already...

On the way!
