CHAPTER 393: CHAPTER 391 DEMON SECT SECT HIERARCH

"Damn it, how did the people from the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land get here so quickly?"

Wu Han’s face was full of panic. He was merely at the Middle Xuan Dan stage of cultivation, otherwise, he wouldn’t have used the Black Winged Flying Centipede to deplete Mu Yan and the others’ Spiritual Origin. Now with a stronger Tang Yimei arriving, he didn’t dare have any other thoughts and only wanted to flee quickly.

With a thought, a cloud of smoke unexpectedly flew out from within his body, transforming into a green ball that enveloped him, like a large bubble, suspended in the air, then he fled without looking back.

"Senior Brother Wu, help me."

At this moment, Xu Bin was being pursued by Sang Xue and the others, especially under Chu Yu’s Overlord Spear, he had no power to fight back. If he hadn’t dodged quickly just now, that spear strike would have hit his head instead of his shoulder.

As it was, his right shoulder’s clavicle was completely shattered, greatly reducing his combat strength.

Wu Han looked at Xu Bin flying toward him, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, he suddenly accelerated, then collided hard.

Boom!

Xu Bin’s face instantly turned pale. Already injured, this hit sent him flying directly, in the direction of Chu Yu and her group’s position.

Chu Yu didn’t understand why these two demons suddenly fought so fiercely, but she raised her Overlord Spear in an instant and pierced forward.

Swoosh!

With a crisp sound, the Overlord Spear directly pierced through Xu Bin’s dantian, the spearhead bringing out a black Xuandan.

"No..."

Xu Bin screamed in terror and died tragically on the spot.

Taking advantage of the moment Xu Bin blocked them, Wu Han took an elixir from his storage bracelet and swallowed it, his flying speed increased severalfold, like a crossbow arrow through the clouds, passing over everyone’s heads in an instant.

"You bastards, wait for me, one day I will return to take revenge, strip you of your souls, reduce you to slaves, and torment you day and night."

Wu Han’s venomous voice came from the air.

"No need to wait for someday; do it now!"

Zhong Lin’s right hand made a grasping motion in the void, and a bow and arrow appeared in his hand, the spiritual treasure bow snatched in the Seven Star Secret Realm of the Luoxing Islands.

Bow Technique was the first full-level skill Zhong Lin mastered upon entering this world, but with his Martial Arts Cultivation growing stronger, the role of the bow and arrow became gradually smaller, especially after he broke through the Postnatal Sixth Grade, the bow and arrow had essentially lost its effect.

Holding the bow in his left hand and pulling the string with his right, as the bowstring gradually opened, the originally calm Heaven and Earth Essence Qi around them suddenly began to vibrate, then slowly surged toward the arrow on the treasure bow.

In just a moment, the arrow made of fine iron became golden and shiny under the frenzied influx of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, exuding a terrifying aura that sent even Tang Yimei, the strongest among them, into a state of alarm.

Swoosh!

Zhong Lin released his fingers, and the golden arrow shot out instantly, like a rainbow piercing the sun, through the void, moving at such speed that it resonated with entire heaven and earth.

A golden arrow suddenly appeared and broke through the dark green smoke enveloping Wu Han, piercing his heart in his eyes full of fear and despair, and with a dull thud, he fell from the sky.

"Senior Sister Tang."

"Senior Sister."

"Senior Sister Yimei, I thought we would never see you again."

With the crisis averted, Mu Yan and her group couldn’t hold on any longer, collapsing to the ground, some crying silently, looking like survivors of a disaster.

Zhong Lin waved and collected the Donghuang Bell into his body, ignoring the women’s sobs, flying over to drag back the corpses of Wu Han and Xu Bin.

Chu Yu stepped forward, using the tip of her spear to lift the clothing on the corpses, revealing a black, flame-like tattoo on their chests, with a shadow of an insect beneath it.

"They belong to the Gu Demon Path of the Demon Sect," Chu Yu said with disgust.

Heaven and earth are divided into Yin and Yang, and so are people into good and evil, martial arts cultivation is no exception, with the Righteous Path and the Demon Path.

The two corpses before them were typical demon martial artists.

The difference between right and demon is not based on good or evil but on the cultivation technique practiced.

The Righteous Path is like Zhong Lin taking it one step at a time, advancing by absorbing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and refining elixirs, while the Demon Path practices sinister and bloody techniques, often using live beings for refining, drawing blood, and leeching souls. The cultivation speed is extremely fast initially, but often leads to losing one’s mind, with the potential to stagnate at one realm forever.

Some argue that a cultivation technique is righteous if used rightly, and evil if used wrongly, but in this high martial arts world, some demon techniques can even affect one’s disposition.

A millennium ago, in the last great Righteous versus Demon clash, the Demon Path was defeated and gradually declined. Some demon sects could only survive in remote mountains and forests or isolated islands outside the domains, disappearing from the once prosperous blood-stain path of the Demon Path.

Then, through the relentless pursuit by righteous martial artists, they were left with no place to survive.

Until the last moment, a demon ruler known as You Boxi of the Imperial Realm emerged, gathering all demon cultivators to create the Demon Sect and even established a sacred land for the demon sect.

Due to You Boxi’s overwhelming power, a formidable presence all sacred lands and teachings feared, always wanting to annihilate him, You Boxi opened up a small world with tremendous power, hidden in the chaotic currents of the Qingyuan World’s void, making it hard to find.

When Zhong Lin learned about this demon sect leader, he was also incredibly shocked. He could only say the methods were indeed terrifying, being able to open a world to drift in spatial chaos, opposing the entire Righteous Martial Artists single-handedly.

No wonder the unruly demon martial artists were willing to regard him as a sect hierarch, sharing their legacies with the demon sect. Without strong enough power to suppress, how could they achieve this?

Zhong Lin pondered, "This place is only a few hours’ journey from the sacred land, how dare these demon runts appear here?"

The demon sect leader was too far away for him to deal with, but ever since the Righteous versus Demon war a thousand years ago, the entire demon sect was like rats in a gutter, fleeing in clutter, not daring to show their heads. They suddenly dared to appear here, which was somewhat intriguing.

At this time, Mu Yan, Tang Yimei, and the others had finished reuniting and walked over.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Zhong, many thanks for saving our lives,"

Mu Yan slightly bowed, and the other four quickly followed suit in gratitude.

Zhong Lin smiled and waved, saying, "No need for such formalities, I am also a disciple of the Juying Association, having just joined. I haven’t asked for your names yet, Junior Sisters."

Giggling!

They all laughed.

The female disciples did not expect Zhong Lin to be so powerful yet so humble. Unlike other disciples, who, when becoming powerful, were often arrogant to the extreme, their airs massive. Zhong Lin had just saved their lives without a hint of seeking reward with his merit.

This only further increased their favorable impression of Zhong Lin.
