82: secret!
Liuguang Clan.
Inside the solemn great hall, Xu Sanguang leaned on his cane and slowly walked in.
He looked at the imposing figures lined up in two rows and said respectfully:
“I have reached an agreement with Feng Lang.”
“That Lin You is currently in the Fifth-Rank Star Domain.”
“He can be executed within days.”
On the main seat, the Clan Chief of the Liuguang Clan, one of the overlords of the Fifth-Rank Star Domain, nodded proudly.
“Xu Sanguang, you’ve done well.”
“Once this matter is settled, you can become an honored elder of the clan, and your descendants for three generations will enjoy all the benefits.”
Hearing this, Xu Sanguang quickly lowered his head, his eyes filled with unconcealed delight.
With this guarantee,
it meant that his Xu Family descendants would all be influential figures in the Fifth-Rank Star Domain!
It wasn't in vain that he betrayed his centuries-long friendship with Feng Lang.
“Thank you, Milord.”
“That Lin You's cultivation is roughly at the Peak True Immortal Realm. If Milord doesn't mind, I can lead people to capture him.”
The figure on the main seat said in a deep voice:
“Are you confident?”
“I need to inform you of this matter beforehand.”
“It must be foolproof.”
Xu Sanguang nodded repeatedly, “Understood, Milord. I will certainly make full preparations.”
“No matter how strong Lin You's True Immortal Realm cultivation is, how much stronger can he get?”
“One Realm, one heaven. I will bring ten Profound Immortals, and with Feng Lang coordinating from the inside, we will definitely capture him alive.”
The figure on the main seat nodded, indicating consent.
Xu Sanguang bowed and withdrew.
When he reached the entrance of the hall, he stopped and couldn't help but ask a question.
“Milord.”
“May I know why an ant who climbed up from a lower-rank Star Domain,”
“requires such a large mobilization?”
“Even if he has some talent, with the Liuguang Clan's power, he should be suppressed with a mere lift of the hand.”
He was still somewhat worried.
As an old fellow who had lived for several millennia,
he had seen too much.
When a person gets old, their courage also shrinks.
Although he knew Lin You couldn't be related to the Longevity Family Zhuge Family,
he still worried that the other party had other backing.
One must know that stepping into muddy waters, a single wrong move could lead to eternal damnation!
Xu Sanguang's words received no response.
The atmosphere inside the hall became increasingly heavy.
Just as he felt confused, the figure on the main seat spoke, carrying an extremely intense pressure.
“Matters you shouldn't ask about.”
“Don't ask.”
“Otherwise, you might lose your life.”
Instantly,
Xu Sanguang was locked down by an indescribably terrifying aura, and he plopped down onto his knees.
“I apologize.”
“This lowly one knows his mistake for offending Milord!”
“Please, Milord, be merciful and spare my life.”
The killing intent dissipated.
Xu Sanguang scrambled out of the great hall.
In the dim light,
only the Clan Chief of the Liuguang Clan remained.
He raised his hand and set up a barrier, then quickly got up as if the seat were pricking him with needles.
He spoke toward the dark corner of the great hall.
“Milord.”
“The matter has been settled.”
“No matter how strong Lin You is, he won't be a match for the Patrol Envoy and the Profound Immortals.”
From the corner, an extremely young figure slowly walked out.
His brow was filled with a sense of superiority.
He didn't even glance at this overlord of the Fifth-Rank Star Domain, instead seating himself on the main seat.
Looking down at the other party, he parted his lips slightly.
“You had better keep your word.”
“This concerns a secret.”
“Otherwise, you cannot bear the wrath of the Longevity Lin Family.”
“Nor can your Liuguang Clan bear it.”
“Understood?”
...Inside the Patrol Envoy Branch Office of the Fifth-Rank Star Domain.
Feng Lang had a serious expression as he spoke in a deep voice to the eight confidants below him.
“That Lin You disregarded the dignity of the Longevity Family and launched wars of extermination in the Seventh-Rank Star Domain and Sixth-Rank Star Domain.”
“He violated the Longevity Edict.”
“He impersonated a Zhuge Family Patrol Envoy.”
“By law, he should be executed.”
“Fortunately, the Liuguang Clan is willing to righteously lend a hand and eliminate this scourge for us.”
“You are all my confidants, and I won't hide anything from you.”
“This matter,”
“must succeed, and cannot fail!”
After he finished speaking, the eight Myriad Realms Inspectors under him nodded in unison.
“Yes, Milord!”
Every one of them was an elite among the Patrol Envoys, possessing heaven-reaching Profound Immortal Realm cultivation!
As the words fell,
Xu Sanguang, standing beside them, spoke politely.
“Fellow Daoists.”
“Please proceed.”
Everyone glanced at the ten Profound Immortal Realm experts behind him, and their pupils immediately constricted.
Including Xu Sanguang and Feng Lang,
there were a total of eighteen experts ranging from the first to sixth stage of the Profound Immortal Realm.
Plus two existences at the Peak Profound Immortal Realm.
Such a formation, even placed in the Fifth-Rank Star Domain,
was considered exceptionally powerful.
Only if an Overlord-Level Force sent out its entire strength could they win.
Why mobilize such a massive force just for a tiny Lin You!
But thoughts were just thoughts.
They said no more; getting paid to do a job was the main thing.
Soon,
led by Feng Lang, the group arrived at the location where Lin You was secluded in cultivation.
He gave a look, signaling Xu Sanguang and the others to hide.
Immediately after,
he softly called out: “Lin You... Lin You?”
“Are you there?”
“You've been at the Branch Office for so many days, and we haven't met yet.”
“I came to greet you today.”
The Myriad Realms Inspectors behind him slightly raised their hands, reaching for the long blades at their waists.
Seeing no response,
Feng Lang frowned. He knocked hard on the door and said again,
“Lin You?”
—Clang.
A sword cry that seemed to tear the sky rang out from the Void Realm.
Immediately following,
agonizing roars erupted from Xu Sanguang and the others hiding in the distance.
Before Feng Lang and the others could even react,
they heard a voice ring out, sounding as if it came from the cold winter Hell.
“Yellow Emperor Sword Canon.”
“Sword Nine.”
“Unity!”
Countless Sword Intents shot out, converging into a long sword in the Void Realm.
In the blink of an eye, it struck down three Cultivators at the first stage of the Profound Immortal Realm.
The speed was so fast that the crowd couldn't block it, nor did they even have time to brew their Divine Abilities.
Three Profound Immortal Realm Cultivators.
Their Divine Souls were utterly destroyed!
Lin You's figure slowly walked out from the Void Realm, his expression icy cold.
“You want to kill me?”
“See if your necks are tougher than that bastard from the Sima Family.”
“Come and see if my sword can chop off your heads!”
In an instant,
monstrous pressure enveloped the entire Star Domain.
Everyone felt a faint pain in their skin; that was the fierce Sword Intent tearing through the Void Realm.
They didn't even need to fight.
The pressure alone suffocated them.
How is this possible!
Such terrifying might.
How could it appear on a True Immortal Realm fellow?
Xu Sanguang and Feng Lang exchanged glances, and an unbelievable thought popped into both their minds.
Profound Immortal!
What a joke!
It's only been a few days; even livestock don't Break through like this.
Let alone a major Realm.
Even a minor Realm requires seclusion and Dao protection, taking at least three months, possibly several years!
“How could this be...”
“Damn it, what kind of Prodigy is this guy!”
Xu Sanguang bore the brunt, and even with his Peak Profound Immortal Realm cultivation,
he inexplicably felt a sense of dread at this moment.
Feng Lang shouted angrily in a stern voice.
“Lin You, are you trying to rebel?”
