Chapter 231 - Location of Zhao

Wang Lin stayed at an inn inside the city for three days. During this, time many people came to visit him. He put away his usual indifferent attitude and got to know many people.

Most of these Nascent Soul cultivators weren't from the city. They came to participate in the secret exchange. Wang Lin's battle with the bald man caught all of their attention. After all, strength was what mattered in the Sea of Devils and Wang Lin was able to easily defeat the bald man. His display of strength was what made all of these Nascent Soul cultivators personally come to visit.

The three days passed and it was now the day of the secret exchange. That morning, a Core Formation cultivator came and politely gave Wang Lin an invitation. Then, the Core Formation cultivator led Wang Lin to the shop.

After the old man from the shop saw Wang Lin, he quickly became very respectful. He carefully led Wang Lin to a wall, then tapped it a few times. After that, the walls rippled like calm water that just had a stone dropped into it.

After doing all of that, he took out a robe and gave it to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin stood there, but didn't step forward. He sent his divine sense inside. He found that there was a separate space inside with a very beautiful loft. There were seven or eight cultivators inside, all wearing the same robes. Some were sitting by themselves while others were talking to each other.

When Wang Lin sent in his divine sense, only a middle aged scholarly-looking man opened his eyes. No one else seemed to have noticed Wang Lin's divine sense. This scholarly man was also the only person who wasn't wearing a robe.

The scholarly man's expression remained the same, but a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Wang Lin was startled. When he scanned everyone with his Divine Sense, he found that everyone present was at the early stage of Nascent Soul, everyone except the scholarly man. Although the scholarly man seemed like he was at the early stage of Nascent Soul, in reality, he was already at the peak of the late stage of Nascent Soul and was only one step from the Spirit Severing stage.

Wang Lin didn't know what technique this person cultivated, but the scholarly man's divine soul had to be very powerful to be able to detect Wang Lin.

After withdrawing his divine sense, Wang Lin took the robe and put it on. Then, without a word, he walked into the wall. When he appeared inside the new area, he found a table to sit down at by himself and closed his eyes.

This action immediately caused the few cultivators who wanted to talk to him change their minds.

Although Wang Lin's eyes were closed, his divine sense was keeping close track of the scholarly man. From the moment he walked into the room, the scholarly man was constantly staring at him.

After a while, several more cultivators came. All of them were wearing one of those robes to hide their faces and some were even surrounded by a black fog.

After seeing this, Wang Lin realized that these people didn't want anyone to recognize them. If they revealed who they were, then when they showed off their treasures, it would cause them a lot of trouble.

However, many cultivators here weren't hiding their faces. It seemed they were confident in themselves and weren't afraid of revealing their identities.

But Wang Lin still had doubts in his mind. How could there be so many Nascent Soul cultivators gathered here, in this small shop in Lian Mo city?

He secretly looked around and saw more than 30 tables around. Could there be more than 30 Nascent Soul cultivators participating in this secret exchange?

Although he had some doubts in his heart, his expression was completely calm.

Wang Lin waited for a bit longer. After some time has passed and no more cultivators arrived, an old man that was sitting in the front got up. He coughed once and said, "This secret exchange is hosted by three cities, so there are more people than normal, but since everyone here is looking for something, I believe that you will find what you need. I'll go first." With that, he took out a bag of holding and dumped out several cores and magic treasures.

The treasures released large amounts of spiritual power, showing how powerful they were.

He slowly said, "These cores are from mid quality spirit beasts. As you all know, these beasts are equal to late stage Nascent Soul cultivators in strength. These magic treasure are all made from the bones of mid quality spirit beasts, especially this bell. I'll only take spirit stones for these items."

The items just floated before the old man. If anyone was interested, they only had to wave their hand and the item would immediately fly into their hands. No one was afraid that anyone would steal in these secret exchanges. After all, this room contained powerful restrictions. If anyone dared to steal and run, they would only be looking for death.

Wang Lin gained all of this information from the people he talked to during the past three days. The moment he heard that this exchange was hosted by three cities, he understood that this place was a special space. There must've been many shops spread throughout the three cities and the cultivators only had to pick one of them to enter here.

As a result, the safety of the participants would be guaranteed.

After waiting for a long time, one cultivator traded spirit stones for the bell. No one else made an offer. Soon, it was the next person's turn.

Slowly, various magic treasures, pills, and scrolls were displayed. All of them had high prices .It just showed how precious the items sold here were.

Any one of these items could be placed at the highest floor of the treasure refining pavilion and be sold at an astronomic price. Most of these cultivators here only exchanged. The things they liked the most were pill and treasure materials. Of course, if there were complete pills and treasures, they were good too. After that was spirit stones.

If it was before the fog surrounding the Sea of Devils disappeared, then there wouldn't be much use for spirit stones. Their value was low as they were only sometimes needed for cultivation.

After the fog disappeared and beasts begun to cover the Sea of Devils, people started to use transfer arrays more and more.

There were two types of transfer arrays. One was ancient transfer arrays, made by ancient cultivators. Only a few remained and many of them were damaged, so very few could be used. Depending on the amount of spirit stones used, they could teleport someone at least 1,000,000 kilometers away. However, to use them, you have to use a top quality spirit stone, so no one in the Sea of Devils could use them.

After all, top quality spirit stones were almost extinct. Even if someone had some, very few people would be willing to use one on a transfer array.

The other type was normal transfer arrays. These were much simpler. Their cost ranged from 10 low quality spirit stones to less than 100 mid quality spirit stones. At most, they could teleport several hundred kilometers. Because they were so cost effective, they were the preferred method of travel among cultivators.

But as a result, the consumption of spirit stones increased and so did their value.

After a number of exchanges, it was now the turn of a cultivator wearing a raincoat. His head was lowered as he said, with a hoarse voice, "I don't have many things to sell, only some ancient texts. If any fellow cultivators are interested, you can exchange for them, but due to the nature of these texts, I can't allow you to have a closer look." With that, he slapped his bag of holding and seven or eight pieces of jade flew out.

The colors of these jades were all very faded and some of them even had cracks. They each released an ancient aura, showing how old they were.

Surrounding these jades was a shield of green light. Clearly, this was a technique used to prevent people from checking inside them.

"This is an ancient beast catalog. This is ancient cultivator world secret text. This is an ancient transfer array production recipe. This is… I will only take cores of mid quality spirit beasts. Five cores for one of them." With that, he waited for the people to inquire about the texts.

All of the people in the room frowned. Even five of those jades for one mid quality beast core wasn't really worth it, how could the reverse be true?

In reality, the man in the raincoat also sighed. He really didn't have anything to sell besides these jades either. He found them in the cave of an ancient cultivator. The ancient cultivator was very poor and only had these jades.

The first time the man tried to sell them, he didn't set the price too high, but after being ignored in so many exchanges, he decided to go for a sky high price. He thought that these things were useless to most people and for someone that really wanted one, they would buy it no matter the price.

In fact, he guessed correctly.

The moment Wang Lin heard about the ancient transfer array production jade, his heart started pounding. He never thought that he would find the jade about ancient transfer arrays that he had been working so hard to find here.

Without a word, he waved his right hand and broke the shield around the jade that contained information about the ancient transfer arrays and took it.

The man wearing the raincoat was shocked and his face suddenly became ugly. He knew that the green light wasn't strong, but to so easily break it was not something he could do. He believed that not even mid stage Nascent Soul cultivators could break it so easily, meaning that the only explanation was that this person was a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

After taking the jade, Wang Lin scanned it with his divine sense and put it away. At the same time, he took out five cores of mid quality spirit beasts.

The man wearing the raincoat quickly caught the cores and let out a sigh. He didn't pursue the matter about breaking the green light. After waiting for a while and seeing that no one else was interested, he put away the pieces of jade.

The moment Wang Lin acted, three other cultivators started to pay extra attention to him. One of them was the scholarly man. The other two had their coats on. Their eyes lit up when they raised their heads.

After a short period of silence, another cultivator walked up to present his items.

Soon, it was Wang Lin's turn. At this moment, everyone became silent and turned to look at Wang Lin. Wang Lin's actions revealed that his cultivation was not simple.

These cultivators were very curious about what Wang Lin would sell.

After pondering a little, Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding. Several mid quality spirit beast cores and a few treasures he never used flew out.

Seeing that Wang Lin only brought out some very common items, they became very disappointed. However, their expressions all remained the same. After all, each of them had reached the Nascent Soul stage. Having cultivated for so long, they were very skilled at hiding their expressions.

Wang Lin slowly said, "I'd like to trade for a map of planet Suzaku. The more complete, the better."

The moment the words came out, the expressions of all of the cultivators became strange. After a long time, one of them said, "Fellow cultivator, with just these things, it would be very hard to trade for a map. I'm afraid you won't even be able to trade for a map of just the Sea of Devils."

Wang Lin calmly said, "Oh? Then what do I need to trade for a map?"

The scholarly man let out a warm smile and said, "Fellow cultivator must be new to the Sea of Devils, so I'll explain it. Not just the Sea of Devils, but for any cultivation country, a map is very important. After all, planet Suzaku is simply too large. If you don't have a map, you won't know where to go."

"As for the Sea of Devils, it is even more important. A copy of the map of Sea of Devils would cost 100,000 high quality spirit stones and no one would even take low quality or mid quality spirit stones. With just fellow cultivator's treasures, it is simply not enough."

"As for the map of planet Suzaku, it's not something any individual can own. If fellow cultivator wants, I have a map of the Sea of Devils. However, it is only a low quality one with a lot of unexplored areas."

Wang Lin pondered a little and asked, "Does fellow cultivator have a general wide area map of the countries surrounding the Sea of Devils?"

The scholarly man warily smiled as he shook his head and said, "I don't have that kind of map."

A cultivator in a robe sitting in the corner suddenly said, "I have one!" This was one the cultivators whose eyes lit up when Wang Lin acted earlier

Wang Lin's gaze fell on the person.

The cultivator in the robe slowly said, "A high quality map of the Sea of Devils with the four surrounding continents, including 148 countries. What price are you willing to offer?"

The moment those words came out, all of the cultivators turned around and their eyes lit up. A high quality map was already very rare, but this one even included the surrounding four continents and 148 countries. That was almost ? of planet Suzaku!

The price of the map would be unimaginably high.

Wang Lin pondered a little. Currently, he had two maps in his possession. One was the one he got from Qiu Siping and other was the one he got from the Battle God's Temple.

The map from the Battle God's Temple only contained detailed information about the country and its surrounding areas up to the outer sea of the Sea of Devils. Farther than that, like the inner sea of the Sea of Devils, was very vague and some transfer arrays weren't even mapped.

As for the area across the Sea of Devils, there was not even a vague mark, only the range of some mountains. When Wang Lin analysed the map, he believed that Zhao was on the other side, but it was only a guess. This was why he didn't immediately act, but went to search for a more complete map.

Wang Lin pondered a little and asked, "What do you want?"

The cultivator sent a message via divine sense. "Fellow cultivator, if you're not in a hurry, how about we talk about it after the exchange in private?"

Wang Lin looked at the person and nodded.

Everyone realized what happened and didn't pay any more attention. However, they were all very curious about what Wang Lin will use to exchange for such a precious item.

An hour later, the secret exchange ended and everyone left. Wang Lin left the room and took off the robe. A beautiful female attendant was already there waiting for him.

After seeing Wang Lin, she respectfully said, "Senior, my master said he has a meeting with you, so he asked me to take you to him."

Wang Lin's heart shook and he became more alert, but his expression remained calm. He looked at the female. She was not a virgin and was only at the mid stage of Foundation Establishment. However, her spiritual power was every weak. She clearly reached this level through a lot of drugs.

Wang Lin's heart already had some guesses about the situation.

Under the woman's guidance, Wang Lin arrived at an inconspicuous residence in the middle of the city. She stopped outside the door and said, "Senior, please enter. Junior will stand guard out here."

Wang Lin didn't say anything pointless and walked inside. He had already sent his divine sense inside.

He saw an old man with a hooked nose wearing a red shirt. He was sitting there with a green tea pot beside him. When the old man saw Wang Lin enter, he laughed and said. "Come sit, fellow cultivator. This is a high quality tea from the country of Hou Fen. I made this tea especially for entertaining friends."

Wang Lin clasped his hands and sat across from the old man. He didn't even look at the tea, but started to check the surroundings. He could easily see that this old man was at the mid stage of Nascent Soul.

The old man didn't mind and personally poured two cups of tea. He sipped his tea and said, "What is fellow cultivator's name?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Wang Lin!"

The old put down his cup and gently smiled. "Fellow cultivator Wang, my name is Zhou Wude."

Wang Lin was stunned as he looked at the old man.

The old man saw Wang Lin's expression and asked, "Has fellow cultivator Wang heard of me?"

Wang Lin shook his head and calmly said, "No, it's just that fellow cultivator has the same name as a friend of mine, so I lost myself for a second there."

The old man burst out laughing, but secretly thought, "What does this person mean? Did he purposely act like this to mess with me?"

The old man couldn't figure out what Wang Lin was thinking, but he laughed and said, "If there is an opportunity, I would like to meet this person."

With that, he slapped his bag of holding. He took out a bag of holding and said, "Fellow cultivator Wang, this is the map I was talking about. I'll display it to you. After you check it and make sure that there is no problem, we can talk about our deal."

The jade released a gentle light as the old man sent out a bit of spiritual power. Immediately, the jade displayed a giant map before Wang Lin.

This map was extremely detailed. It even had detailed descriptions of the level of damage of each of the ancient transfer arrays. It also had details of the situation surrounding each area and even the names of all of the Nascent Soul and higher cultivators.

These were not the focus, but it even had detailed information of where each ancient transfer array linked to. Just this point would cause the price of this map to skyrocket.

What caused Wang Lin to be even more excited was that there were even some details about the power of each country. It even had some detailed recording of mines and lairs of wild beasts. As a result, this map was unimaginably precious.

If all of these things weren't tempting enough for Wang Lin, then this shocked him completely. The surroundings of the Sea of Devils didn't have only two continents like the map he got from the Battle God's Temple, but four.

On the map, it clearly showed four continents surrounding the Sea of Devils. On the continent to the left, he could see the very small word: Zhao.

The old man casually pointed at a location on the map. The map suddenly disappeared and showed the area where the old man pointed to. The entire map looked like if someone was looking at that location from a bird's eye view.

Then, the old man waved his right hand and the map disappeared. He put the jade back into his bag of holding and stared at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's gaze was calm as he looked at the old man. He already had the urge to kill this person. As long as he killed him, he could get the piece of jade and quickly return to the country of Zhao.

The old man immediately retreated a few steps and said, "Fellow cultivator, this jade is very old and will easily break. To prevent it from breaking, I have already linked it with my divine sense."

Wang Lin's gaze was calm as he slowly said, "What do you want?"

The old man clenched his teeth and said, "As long as you help me kill one person, I'll give you this piece of jade."

A cold light flashed across Wang Lin's eyes. He asked, "What level of cultivation?"

The old man quickly said, "Late stage Nascent Soul, half a step into Spirit Severing!"

Wang Lin stood up and calmly said, "Now? Lead the way!"

The old man was stunned. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Okay. Fellow cultivator Wang, follow me."

In the blink of an eye, the two left Lian Mo city. Three thousand kilometers from the city was a basin. After a short period of time, the two arrived at the place. Wang Lin spread out his divine sense and let out a sneer in his heart. He had already realized that something was wrong. The old man seemed to already know him very well. The female attendant immediately walked up to him when they met. He already thought that there was a scheme behind all of this.

Wang Lin purposely used the friend with the same name phrase to test the old man, and with his powerful divine sense, he noticed that the old man's emotions flustered a little. Looking at things now, it was exactly as he predicted.

Under the basin was a formation hiding four Nascent Soul cultivators.

Wang Lin calmly said, "It is regrettable that the bald man died, or the six of you could perfectly use the No Escape Killing Formation."

The hook nosed man's expression suddenly changed, and at that moment, Wang Lin's Ji Realm moved. The old man didn't even have time to break the jade. He could only see the red light before him.

Chapter 232 - Sword Sheath

The old man heard Wang Lin's words and was shocked. He turned around and saw rows of red lightning. They were the last things he saw in his life.

The Ji Realm shot out and instantly destroyed the old man's body. Just as his Nascent Soul was about to escape, Wang Lin's palm hit the old man's chest. A wave of spiritual energy entered the old man's body, trapping the Nascent Soul inside. The old man could only watch as Wang Lin took his Nascent Soul and devoured it.

In the eyes of the four people hiding in the basin, Wang Lin was now a demon. Killing someone for their Nascent Soul and then devouring it directly completely contradicted their normal beliefs.

It has to be said that all of these people were demonic cultivators. They had seen many people killed for their Nascent Souls, but never had they seen one being devoured directly. They felt that Wang Lin was the real demonic cultivator here.

The four people that were going to ambush Wang Lin were all shaken. They quickly left the basin and escaped in different directions.

But those four had decided to bother Wang Lin. Without Wang Lin even moving, his Ji Realm immediately caught up to the four of them and killed them.

Wang Lin used a lot of Nascent Energy in order for his Ji Realm to kill 5 people in a row. He quickly grabbed the Nascent Souls of the four cultivators and devoured them. The ancient god's tactic quickly absorbed the Nascent Souls. Wang Lin was able to replenish all of the used up Nascent Energy and even increased his cultivation level a little.

After that, Wang Lin gathered all of their bags of holdings and opened them one by one. First, Wang Lin checked to make sure that the map jade was still intact and let out a breath. Although there were some magic treasures in the remaining bags, only one thing caught Wang Lin's attention.

The moment he saw this item, his spiritual energy shook with his emotions. After a while, he calmed down as he stared at the object in his hand. It was a sword sheath.

A normal looking sword sheath!

A sword sheath emitting an ancient aura!

Wang Lin took a deep breath and took a few careful look. There was a weird expression on his face. This sword sheath looked exactly like the sword sheath from back then, but he knew that this wasn't the same one.

The sword sheath from back then had been refined by Wang Lin's cold core, so if he were to hold it once more, he would know. Although this sword sheath looked exactly same as the one from back then, Wang Lin knew it was not the same.

The other thing that made him sure that it was not the same was that because Wang Lin had used that sword sheath many times, he knew that there was a strange carving in the middle of the sheath.

Although this sheath also had a strange carving, it was not the same one.

After pondering for a little, Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and took out a normal flying sword and slowly put it into the sheath.

When it went in 3/5th of the way, he felt a powerful pressure preventing the sword from going in further. Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He used some spiritual power and pushed the sword down ? of the way.

Wang Lin's expression changed as he felt a tremendous killing intent coming from the sheath. Almost without hesitation, he dropped the sword and the sheath. The sword was pushed out and shattered into pieces. Following that was a large amount of killing intent from the sword sheath.

At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened and a deep gully extending for hundreds of meters appeared on the basin below Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's scalp felt numb. He looked at the sheath and took a deep breath. Then, he carefully put the sword sheath away in his bag of holding and didn't dare to touch it anymore.

With his current cultivation level, he could easily see that a tremendous amount of killing intent was sealed inside the sword sheath. When he forced the sword in, it released a bit of it, but just that bit was already so powerful that Wang Lin couldn't even imagine what power the sheath held.

As a result, he was even more sure that this sheath wasn't the same as the one from back then.

The sheath back then had the ability to increase the strength of a flying sword. The difference in increase in power from 1/5th of the way in to 3/5th of the way in was huge.

After pondering for a while, Wang Lin became curious about the sword sheath. He felt that there were more than just two of these sword sheaths.

Inside a volcano in the country of Hou Fen. The volcano had been turned from an active to a dead volcano by cultivators. It no longer contained any lava.

Inside it were many large and small rooms, and inside every room was a cultivator.

These people were the survivors of the destruction of the country of Hou Fen.

Back then, Hou Fen was attacked by Xuanwu along with several other countries. The four major sects were evicted and that was also when Li Muwan was forced to leave her home.

Under this volcano, there was a complete building. This was the Battle God's Temple. It took several Nascent Soul cultivators to move this when they were attacked.

The temple contained the remains of countless ancestors of the Battle God's Temple and many of their techniques.

At this moment, among the many crystal rooms, one glowed. Immediately, a withered hand raised and a withered body walked out of the room.

After he walked out, he pressed the ground with this right hand. Suddenly, green energy gathered from the entire temple and entered his body. Slowly, his body started to regrow its muscles and skin.

Shortly after, a youth emitting an eerie atmosphere appeared.

This person looked very handsome, but also had a hint of evil. His eyes revealed an ancient light as he slowly became conscious.

He pondered for a while and muttered, "3,000 years of healing and I finally allowed my cultivation to recover to 30%." He formed a fist with his right hand. He frowned and said to himself, "Almost the same as Soul Transformation. Although it is not enough, with the help of the star disc, it should be enough to escape from this planet. My recovery will go a lot faster if I return to my home planet."

He took a deep breath and slapped his hand at his waist, but his expression suddenly turned strange as he hit nothing. He looked at this waist and was stunned for a moment before his face became dark.

Without a word, he waved his hand and a crystal screen appeared before him. The image on the screen constantly moved until it paused at one moment.

This scene clearly showed Wang Lin entering this room and taking the bag of holding.

The youth stared at the Wang Lin in the image. He closed his eyes and spread out his divine sense. As his divine sense spread, he could feel the fluctuations of spiritual energy from his bag of holding.

He opened his eyes and his body disappeared from the room. He reappeared in the sky above the Sea of Devils and shouted, "Ghost Soul Searching Technique!"

Suddenly, countless green lights came out from his body. Each of the green lights turned into the same shape as the youth and spread out.

The youth's body disappeared in a flash.

As for Wang Lin, he was currently standing on top of the mosquito beast. He was holding a piece of jade in his hand. This jade was the one containing the map.

Wang Lin was very anxious. He wished he could increase his speed by 10x, 100x, 1000x! He wished he could just instantly return to the country of Zhao.

But reality was very cruel. After he got the map, he found that he was very far from the country of Zhao. If he relied on just flying, it would take him several years to reach his home country.

This was obviously not what Wang Lin wanted, so that meant that he had to use ancient transfer arrays. The good thing was that the map contained detailed information about the ancient transfer arrays, so after spending some time, Wang Lin mapped out a route for himself to return to Zhao.

On this route, he must pass through three ancient transfer arrays.

One in the Sea of Devils and two on the continent that Zhao was in.

The direction Wang Lin was heading toward was the direction of the ancient transfer array. The map said that the transfer array's integrity was not high, but still useable. However, Wang Lin wasn't sure how old the information on this map was or if the ancient transfer array was still there or if it was even still useable.

With these questions in mind, Wang Lin urged the mosquito beast below him to move faster.

This ancient transfer array was at the edge of the inner sea, so he came across a lot of beasts on the way. He had already encountered several high quality wild beasts and even a desolate beast.

It was a good thing that his divine sense was so powerful. He always detected them ahead of time and went around them.

A month after Wang Lin's non stop travel, he finally arrived at the ancient transfer array. Below him was a plain covered by numerous underwater plants. After being nurtured by the black rain, the plants were evolving into beasts and their offensive powers had greatly increased.

They stretched out their red leaves and waved them back and forth. From above, it all looked very pretty, but Wang Lin spread out his divine sense and found an ocean of bones below the plants. There were bones of both cultivators and wild beasts under them.

Wang Lin pondered for a while. When he spread out his divine sense, he found the transfer array. He jumped off the mosquito beast's back and arrived at the ancient transfer array in the blink of an eye.

Wang Lin frowned. There were too many red leaves growing here. Not only did they cover part of the transfer array, there were some plants that had taken root in the transfer array. This meant that the transfer array must have taken some damage.

His eyes lit up. He waved his hand and a black sword flew out like black lightning toward the plants on the ground. Every time it cut one of the plants, the plant would spew out red, blood-like liquid. Soon, the entire ground was covered in it.

Chapter 233 - Stop

Slivers of dangerous aura came from the ground as more plants grew back from the liquid. This time, the plants were even larger and more colorful.

Wang Lin's heart sank. He waved his hand and the flying sword came back. However, the flying sword now was very dim. It looked very drained.

Both of Wang Lin's hands formed a seal. Suddenly, a gust of wind appeared around the sword, removing the liquid that was stuck to it. Once all of the liquid was removed, the sword returned to its normal state.

After taking a look, Wang Lin put away the flying sword. Staring at the endless ocean of plants, he slapped his bag of holding and took out the restriction flag. He shook his hand and the restriction flag immediately became large and started to cover the ground.

99 restrictions formed 99 dragons. The dragons crazily circled the ancient restriction. Each time the dragons circled the restriction, countless red plants would die and spew out endless amounts of red liquid.

Wang Lin's hands quickly sent out a few seals and he shouted, "Open!"

Suddenly, the sea of red liquid split in the middle, as if there were giant hands pushing it apart. The red liquid moved to the side, revealing the ancient transfer array.

Wang Lin no longer hesitated as he landed and recorded the ancient transfer array onto a piece of jade. He flew back into the air and waved his hand to recover the restriction flag.

After the restriction flag returned to Wang Lin, the red liquid covered the transfer array once more. One by one, even larger plants started to cover the area.

Their height had already reached a dozen feet, which was three times taller than before.

Wang Lin floated in the air and looked at the jade with a serious expression. After a long time, he revealed a pondering expression and left without a word.

During the month it took for Wang Lin to get here, he had started studying the ancient transfer array construction manual that he got for 5 mid quality beast cores.

Although the concept of ancient transfer arrays was complicated, Wang Lin already had good knowledge of formations and transfer arrays. Adding on the fact that he only wanted to repair and not build, he was able to gain some insight about them.

However, with only with just his knowledge, he didn't know if he could do it, but if he had to find someone in the Sea of Devils who specialized in ancient transfer arrays, that would be very difficult, unless Six Desire Devil Lord came back to life.

Wang Lin searched for seven days according to the description in the map before he finally found another ancient transfer array. The place was filled with wild beasts, but the mosquito beast quickly drove them all away.

What surprised Wang Lin the most was that this transfer array was completely intact. After studying it for a while, his eyes landed on a part of the transfer array.

This part was clearly different from the other parts. Wang Lin was stunned. He realized that this part was added in later by someone who had repaired this ancient transfer array.

Wang Lin pondered a bit. He couldn't figure out why someone would want to fix this transfer array. Could they have also just wanted to transfer to another continent like him?

A moment later, Wang Lin removed some parts from the transfer array. He hesitated a bit and destroyed part of the array before leaving on the back of the mosquito beast.

Wang Lin had already taken apart three transfer arrays, but this left him feeling like there was a heavy rock weighing down his heart. Of the three transfer arrays he had visited, two of them were completely intact and both showed signs of being repaired by someone.

If only one transfer array was repaired, it wouldn't be a big deal, but several transfer arrays were repaired, meaning there was something going on.

Wang Lin had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen in the Sea of Devils. Presumably, the reason the transfer array that he needed wasn't repaired was because it was covered in plants, it didn't transfer to the right location, or it was not found.

After taking the parts he needed from the complete transfer arrays, he would completely destroy them. Only by doing that would he feel a bit less pressured.

When Wang Lin finally gathered enough materials from the transfer arrays, his body suddenly disappeared from the spot. Just after he disappeared, a sword stabbed into the ground where Wang Lin was just standing.

Wang Lin's expression was gloomy as he appeared in mid air, staring at the black clothed man in the distance. He always kept his divine sense spread out, but he didn't notice that person until they were within 100 feet of him and threw that sword. It has to be said that Wang Lin's divine sense was as powerful as a Spirit Severing cultivator's. If it was a normal Nascent Soul cultivator, they wouldn't have noticed anything until the sword pierced their body.

If this cultivator was in the Spirit Severing stage, then it wouldn't be much of an issue, but Wang Lin checked and this person was only in the mid stage of Nascent Soul. This person must have some special technique to hide their presence from Wang Lin's divine sense.

Wang Lin's eyes revealed killing intent. If he allowed someone like this to live, then he will have to live with the feeling of someone always ready to attack him at any time. Wang Lin decided that he must kill this person at any cost. He immediately activated his Ji Realm without any regard to the amount of Nascent Energy it would cost.

The black clothed man was middle aged, a bit thin, and had a very mean looking face.

After seeing that Wang Lin escaped his sneak attack, he took out a stone stamp from his bag of holding. He let out a roar and the stone stamp start to spin. It grew larger with every spin. Once it reached the size of a small mountain, it crashed down toward Wang Lin.

However, the moment he sent out the stone stamp, his face turned pale as he saw the red lightning in Wang Lin's eyes and immediately turned around to escape.

He even abandoned his magic treasure to escape. The magic treasure, without anyone to control it, immediately shrunk back to the size of a palm and fell to the ground.

Wang Lin frowned. His Ji Realm shot out and immediately caught up to the person. The man revealed a horrified expression. He clenched his teeth, and just as the Ji Realm entered his body, his body exploded.

Suddenly, the power of the self explosion sent shock waves in all directions. At the center of the explosion, a rift appeared, and an extremely weak looking Nascent Soul disappeared into it. Wang Lin's Ji Realm quickly followed it into the rift.

After a few breaths of time, the Ji Realm reappeared and returned to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. Although his Ji Realm killed the person, from the look of that person's face, it seemed that they knew about the Ji Realm. The person even knew the power the Ji Realm possessed, so he was willing to blow up his body to try to escape through a rift in space.

Wang Lin pondered a little before quickly turning around and leaving. Since the person exploded, all of his bags of holding were gone too, leaving no trace. After a few days, Wang Lin returned to the transfer array covered by the red plants and began his repair.

During the restoration period, the restriction flag was constantly active. This was the only way to prevent the red plants from taking over again. After three days of careful restoration, Wang Lin finished fixing the array.

In three days, Wang Lin spent almost all of his energy to repair the transfer array. When he finished, he sat down cross legged to recover his lost spiritual energy. After he was fully recovered, he placed a top quality spirit stone into the socket of the transfer array.

After waiting for a long time, there was no reaction. Wang Lin was startled. He replaced the top quality spirit stone with another. However, even after changing spirit stones, there was still no reaction.

Wang Lin's heart sank. After pondering for a bit, he placed his hand on the socket. He clenched his teeth and sent spiritual power from his body into the transfer array. As his spiritual energy entered the transfer array, it gradually started waking up. However, it was a bit too ambitious to try to open an ancient transfer array with only the spiritual power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Shortly after, Wang Lin started to feel that the spiritual energy in his body was almost gone. He quickly took out a jade bottle and dumped what was inside into his mouth to keep his spiritual energy up.

After a long time, Wang Lin withdrew his spiritual energy and started to cultivate. After recovering all of his spiritual energy, he walked to the northeast corner of the transfer array.

Before, when Wang Lin sent his spiritual energy into the transfer array, he wasn't trying to activate it, but was checking if there was anything wrong with it. When his spiritual power reached the northeast corner, he felt a large amount of spiritual power dissipate there.

He understood what the problem was.

He took that part of the transfer array, jumped into the air, and retrieved the restriction flag. The nearby transfer arrays had already all been taken apart by him for parts, so he had to search wider for more ancient transfer arrays.

Wang Lin quickly charged toward an ancient transfer array that was about 8 days away. On the 4th day, he passed by a transfer array that he had taken apart earlier. He didn't pay much attention to it, but just as he was about to leave, that transfer array suddenly lit up. Wang Lin stopped and his eyes lit up as he looked at the array. However, due to the heavy damage the transfer array had taken, the light slowly faded.

Wang Lin didn't withdraw his gaze until the light completely faded. It was clear that the reason the transfer array lit up was because somewhere far away, someone activated a transfer array to teleport to here. However, due to the heavy damage the transfer array had taken, it wasn't able to activate.

That feeling of danger in Wang Lin's heart became even stronger. He took a deep breath and pushed it out of his mind. Although Wang Lin knew what was going to happen, it was not important right now because he didn't have the ability to stop it. The only thing on his mind right now was to find an ancient transfer array to take apart for parts and to repair the one he needed to use.

He used his top speed and flew toward the transfer array.

On the 8th day, he arrived at the ancient transfer array indicated on the map. With one look, Wang Lin's scalp tingled. This transfer array was also in perfect condition.

He didn't hesitate, but just as he was about to take apart the ancient transfer array, it suddenly lit up. Pillars of light shot up into the sky and the blurry figures of people appeared in the transfer array.

A powerful killing intent appeared with those people as their figures were quickly becoming more solid.

Almost the same instant the transfer array lit up, Wang Lin grabbed the materials at the northeastern corner. Spiritual power surged inside his body to forcibly removed that piece.

The moment he was pulling the material out, an angry roar came from one of the figures. "Stop!"

Not only did Wang Lin not stop, but he worked faster and pulled out that piece of the array. Then, he raised his head and coldly stared at the figures as they slowly disappeared along with the light. If he had really stopped, then the moment those figures completely arrived, they would instantly try to kill him. Since the group dared to invade the Sea of Devils, there must be Spirit Severing cultivators among them.

In that moment, almost all of the ancient arrays in the Sea of Devils lit simultaneously. Not all of the ancient transfer arrays had a black clothed man guarding it, only a few of the important locations. The moment these people arrived in the Sea of Devils, they released a monstrous killing intent.

As for the transfer array Wang Lin was at, there was also a black clothed man, however, he had already been killed by Wang Lin.

The Sea of Devils went into a complete uproar. The tension building up in the air finally exploded. Four cultivation countries teamed up to attack the Sea of Devils and sent tens of thousands of cultivators in through the ancient transfer arrays. A huge battle had started in the Sea of Devils.

The 999 cities in the Sea of Devils quickly became bloody battlegrounds.

Wang Lin had already guessed what was happening the moment he saw the ancient transfer arrays completely repaired and the black clothed men guarding them. After he saw the figures in the transfer array, he was even more sure.

Wang Lin felt that he must quickly leave the Sea of Devils. As he flew, he touched the materials he needed and took a deep breath.

A few days later, Wang Lin returned to the transfer array and replaced the northeastern corner piece. He took a good look at the Sea of Devils and placed the top quality spirit stone into the socket.

Rings of light appeared. The moment the transfer array opened, Wang Lin sent out a seal, causing all of the restrictions on the restriction flag to explode outwards. The restriction flag quickly cleared out the area, leaving the ground covered in red liquid.

The transfer array was completely opened and Wang Lin's figure started to slowly disappear. Right as he was about to disappear, he waved his hand and the restriction flag returned to him.

After he disappeared, the red liquid immediately covered the transfer array and plants dozens of feet tall started growing. There was simply too many plants. With cracking sounds, the transfer array broke and more plants grew in its cracks.

At this point, even with a map, it was hard to tell that this place contained an ancient transfer array.

Chapter 234 - Teng Huayuan

A day later, a youth covered in an evil aura stared at the ground covered with plants with a cold gaze.

This person was the cultivator that rushed here from Hou Fen. If someone knew that this person had only spent a few months to travel from Hou Fen to the inner Sea of Devils, they would be horrified. The distance between Hou Fen and the Sea of Devils was enormous.

Even Duanmu had to use an ancient transfer array. He once said that if he were to fly, it would take him hundreds of years with his Spirit Severing cultivation level.

As a result, this youth's speed was at an unimaginable level.

Actually, the reason this youth got here so quickly had nothing to do with his Soul Transformation cultivation level. This was mainly due to his family's secret technique: the Ghost Search technique.

The technique used many avatars to walk in all different directions, then fused back together and gave all of the distances walked by each avatar to the main body. This way, his speed would be increased thousands fold and allowed him to arrive in just two months.

This person's gaze was dark as he stared at the plants below him while slowly descending. All of the plants remained motionless, as if they were dead as he landed.

He looked at the broken transfer array. The transfer array was heavily damaged and couldn't be repaired anymore. This could be considered a wasted transfer array.

The youth secretly sighed and muttered to himself, "There aren't many people in this planet that can open my bag of holding. It's just that with my current unstable cultivation, if I don't return to my home planet soon, my cultivation will drop even more…" He slightly frowned and disappeared.

The Kong continent, one of the six main continents of planet Suzaku.

There were countless cultivation countries in the Kong continent, but most of them were rank 1 or 2 counties with some rank 3 and very few rank 4. After all, the resources on this continent were too poor.

At the border of the Kong continent and the Sea of Devils, there was a small border town. This town was not very large. The strongest person was only at the Core Formation stage. In this town, there was an ancient transfer array.

This transfer array suddenly lit up and soon, Wang Lin's figure walked out of it.

After he appeared, he immediately spread out his divine sense and checked out the whole town. The moment he spread out his divine sense, everyone in the town felt a chill run down their spine, but this feeling left as quickly as it came.

Wang Lin withdrew his divine sense, then disappeared from the spot. He moved according to the map in his mind. Once he was thousands of kilometers away from the town, he slapped his bag of holding and the mosquito beast appeared before him.

Wang Lin jumped onto its back. He sent out a message to the mosquito beast. It let out a roar and charged forward.

He moved very quickly. Before long, Wang Lin sensed many locations filled with strong cultivators. Clearly, those locations were where the local sects were.

Wang Lin didn't stop, he quickly made his way through this country. After 10 days, he had passed countless rank 1 and 2 cultivation countries and arrived at his destination: the second transfer array.

Through this transfer array, he could quickly close the distance between him and Zhao. However, when he was 1000 kilometers away from the transfer array, he slowly started to frown.

According to the map, the transfer array was in a mountain, but Wang Lin could clearly feel that countless buildings had been built in the area. The area was also filled with spiritual energy. It was clearly a cultivation ground now.

During his scan with his divine sense, he saw some very determined youths outside of a main hall with a few Qi Condensation disciples. It was clear that they were holding an entrance ceremony.

At the same time, on the roads of the mountain, there were some youths painstakingly walking up the mountain.

Looking at the familiar scene before him, Wang Lin felt some regret in his heart. He didn't know what the Heng Yue Sect was like nowadays. Although his feelings for the Heng Yue Sect weren't deep, it was still the sect that brought him into the cultivation world.

Wang Lin rode the mosquito beast toward the sect with complex feelings in his heart. When he was about 100 kilometers away from the sect, a short white light appeared, preventing him from entering the sect.

Without him having to do anything, the mosquito beast let out a roar and pierced into the light with his sharp proboscis. Then, the beast inhaled and the pillar of light cracked and finally crumbled.

As a result, the expressions of the few Core Formation cultivators who were in closed door training suddenly changed as they quickly came out. They stared dumbfounded at Wang Lin and the mosquito beast under him. They quickly shouted at the disciples to stop the recruiting ceremony and quickly went to wait for Wang Lin's arrival in front of the main hall.

The instant Wang Lin arrived, the three Core Formation cultivators quickly went up and respectfully said, "We greet senior." The three of them were horrified. Although Wang Lin wasn't emitting any spiritual energy, they felt a pressure from him that caused their hearts to tremble.

Especially the beast under Wang Lin's feet. It made them afraid that it would make a big disaster to fall upon them.

Among the three Core Formation cultivators were two males and one female. Aside from one of the males who had white hair, the other two looked very young, especially the female cultivator. She looked very beautiful and graceful.

However, you can't judge a cultivator by their appearance. Just look at Wang Lin. Although he looked like a youth, he was already more than 400 years old.

Wang Lin's expression was calm as he scanned the three and asked, "What sect is this?"

The old man among the three quickly and respectfully answered, "Senior, our sect is call Zi Yun. If senior needs anything, we will do our best to help."

Wang Lin looked at the person and calmly said, "There used be an ancient transfer array here. Does it still exist?"

The old man was stunned. He pondered a little and said, "Senior, there are no ancient transfer arrays here." The moment he finished speaking, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Wang Lin's whole aura suddenly turned cold as he slowly said, "Are you sure?"

The old man's forehead was covered in cold sweat. After thinking for a bit, he was about to speak, but the graceful female cultivator cut him off and said, in a crisp voice, "Senior, was the location of the ancient transfer array on top of a mountain?"

Wang Lin's gaze fell on the female cultivator. Although her looks couldn't compare to Li Muwan's, she was still fairly pretty; especially her face, which was as white as jade.

Facing Wang Lin's gaze, the female's face slightly glowed red. She quickly said, "Senior, if that transfer array is on top of the mountain, then junior knows of it."

"Lead the way!" Wang Lin flew toward the top of the mountain.

The woman quickly followed. The other two Core Formation cultivators hesitated for a bit, then followed as well.

Under the guidance of the woman, they soon arrived at the top of the mountain. There was a large loft built here with bells hanging on the corners of the building. The bells rang very crisp and beautiful tones.

After the female cultivator landed, her face reddened as she said, "Senior, this is junior's home. This area was originally not of the Zi Yun Sect. That is why senior apprentice brother didn't know about the ancient transfer array. Junior found a secret passage by luck and found that there was an ancient transfer array under the building."

Wang Lin nodded. Before, when he scanned the area with his divine sense, he checked this area, but didn't find anything.

Now, checking it at close range, he scanned with his divine sense and immediately found a small fluctuation of spiritual energy underground. Clearly, someone used a technique to hide the transfer array.

He was very shocked. It has to be said that according to the map, this was only a rank 2 cultivation country, yet there was a technique that could almost fool his divine sense.

Under the guidance of the female cultivator, they walked into the loft. The moment he walked in, there was a surge of fragrance. The inside looked very graceful and very feminine.

Wang Lin's gaze swept through the room. His gaze fell on a screen for a bit, but he quickly withdrew it.

The female cultivator's face reddened even more. She used the moment before her two senior apprentice brothers walked into the door to move close to the screen and put away the almost transparent inner wear that was hanging on the screen. She lowered her head, her face red, and didn't dare to look at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin pretended he didn't see anything. Under the guidance of the female cultivator, they walked toward the transfer array. Although he looked very calm, Wang Lin was constantly on guard. If there was anything off, then he would act without any hesitation.

Under the loft, Wang Lin saw the ancient transfer array. The ancient transfer array seemed well maintained and was useable.

He took out two cores of low quality spirit beasts and threw them at the female cultivator. He said, "Refine pills with them. They will help you with your cultivation."

The female cultivator looked at the cores and was shocked. She revealed a look of ecstasy as she felt the surge of spiritual energy within them. If she consumed the pill refined from them, she would be able to reach the late stage of Core Formation.

She carefully accepted them and put them inside her bag of holding.

The two Core Formation cultivators couldn't help but reveal looks of envy.

Wang Lin glanced at the two, then walked into the transfer array. He waved his hand and a fog blocked the people outside from looking in. Then, he took out a top quality spirit stone and placed it into the socket.

The transfer array lit up and Wang Lin disappeared from the transfer array.

The female cultivator looked at the empty transfer array with a hint of sadness in her heart. Suddenly, she remembered something and her face reddened again.

Zhao was at the very edge of the Kong continent. It was not a large country. In fact, it was only half the size of Hou Fen.

Although there were spirit veins, the production was very little and just enough to support the country, so even when they were open to mining, there was a limitation on the mining.

Because of the scarcity of spirit veins, spirit herbs also became very rare. It could be said that Zhao was a very, very small border country.

Nowadays, the number one sect in Zhao was the Xuan Dao Sect and its ancestor, Punan Zi, had reached the late stage of Nascent Soul all those years ago. In these 400 years, although he hadn't reached the Spirit Severing stage, his cultivation level had greatly increased and the other late stage Nascent Soul cultivators weren't a match for him at all.

In addition to the Xuan Dao Sect, the orthodox sects of Zhao, like the Ethereal sect, had not done as well as before and gradually became a second class sect. At the same time, the Nirvana sect and Yuan Kui sect also suffered the same fate. Because of Punnan Zi's existence, their sects had also been pushed to second class.

As for the demonic sects, Heaven's Road Sect, He Huan Sect, and Wu Feng Sect; they had been doing better. Although they couldn't compare with Punnan Zi, they were a head above the orthodox sects.

It was just that under the strong grip of Punnan Zi, the demonic and orthodox sects of Zhao stopped fighting each other as much. Although there were still some conflicts, they were all small conflicts that never became big engagements.

It could be said that the current Zhao was under Punnan Zi's complete control, slowly heading toward a rank 4 cultivation country. Once Punnan Zi reaches the Spirit Severing stage, becoming a rank 4 will easily come true.

In addition to these sects, quite a few famous people had appeared in these 400 years.

Like Xuan Dao Sect's genius, Wang Zhuo. This person only took 200 years to reach the Core Formation stage and another 400 years to reach the late stage of Core Formation. This type of cultivation speed was very rare in Zhao.

Beyond this, all of the other sects had geniuses that appeared, but compared to the Teng family, they weren't up to par at all.

In the past 400 years, besides Punnan Zi becoming well known, the other notable person was from the Teng family.

Teng family's ancestor, Teng Huayuan, was at the early stage of Nascent Soul 400 years ago. Then, with Punnan Zi's help, he reached the late stage of Nascent Soul and became one of the top cultivators in Zhao.

In Zhao, as long as one reached the Nascent Soul stage, they would receive a lot of power and a high status. Of course, this was only if they listened to Punnan Zi's orders.

Punnan Zi set a rule that everyone in Zhao must follow. They must not care about how much resources they used; they must create one Spirit Severing cultivator from the Nascent Soul cultivators to raise Zhao to a rank 4 country.

With the increase in Teng Huayuan's cultivation level, the status of the Teng family also increased. The family's prospects increased and had many descendents, making them the number one cultivation family in Zhao.

The descents of the family were disciples of almost every single sect and some of them even held a very high position in those sects.

At the same time, Teng Huayuan married off a lot of their daughters to geniuses in order to solidify the Teng family's foundation. Wang Zhuo became one of the Teng family's sons in law.

It could be said that the Teng family had already been deeply integrated into the country of Zhao. It was not like no one had any idea about the Teng family, but most of the time, Teng Huayuan didn't even need to act. Those with ideas against the Teng family would disappear.

As for what Teng Huayuan was doing, Punnan Zi didn't question it a bit. He was wholeheartedly invested in trying to break into the Spirit Severing stage.

Teng Family City had already been expanded six times in the past 400 years. It was now a huge city that was known throughout Zhao.

There was a secret chamber 100 feet under Teng family city. The chamber had 10 times the spiritual energy of the outside. The reason for this was that it was on top of a spirit vein.

Although this spirit vein wasn't large, it was more than enough for cultivation. Because the Teng family ancestor found out about this spirit vein, he used each time the city expanded to slowly dig a chamber for himself.

This was something not even Punnan Zi knew about and only a few members of the Teng family knew about it. Only when someone was about to make breakthrough would they be allowed to use the chamber.

On this day, inside the underground secret chamber, an old man with a head full of white hair opened his eyes, revealing a sharp gaze.

This person's brow knitted. When he was cultivating, he suddenly felt a sense of bloodlust. This feeling caused the spiritual energy in his body to go into chaos.

The old man pondered a little. His right hand formed a seal and shot out a white light that floated before him.

He quickly said a few complicated words and soon, the white light flickered and shook before him. Gradually, his expression became more and more serious as he looked at the light.

But just at that moment, the white light violently trembled. It went out of his control and dissipated without a trace. The old man's face suddenly became gloomy. He muttered to himself, "Strange, not even Punnan Zi's spirit detecting technique is able to tell where the bloodlust is coming from…"

He pondered a little and a cold light flashed through his eyes. He thought, "With my current cultivation level and connections in Zhao, even if the owner of this bloodlust comes here, I can easily get rid of them."

This person was the Teng family ancestor that killed Wang Lin, Teng family's symbol: Teng Huayuan.

Thanks to the passage of time, he looked older. Although his cultivation level was higher, he was clearly very different from the person who made Wang Lin explode.

His entire person felt much more subtle. This feeling was like someone who enjoyed to fight became a very sly and cunning person overnight. There was a very stark contrast.

He took a deep breath and disappeared from the secret chamber. When he reappeared, he was inside the Teng family's ancestral home. The Teng Family's ancestral home was three stories tall with a dragon carved onto it. Overall, it looked very majestic and emitted waves of spiritual energy.

When Teng Huayuan appeared, he arrived at the third floor. On the third floor were countless tablets with names carved onto them. All of these names were names of core Teng family members who had died.

Teng Huayuan's gaze swept across the tablets and landed on one that was on the top shelf. That tablet clearly read: "Teng Li"

In the past 400 plus years, every time he felt disturbed or upset, he would come here and look at that tablet. This had basically become one of his habits. After a long time, he waved his hand and the tablet flew into his hand. He wiped the tablet and muttered to himself, "Li Er, you died too young. With your talent, if you were still alive, you would be at the Nascent Soul stage already…"

He sighed, put the tablet back, and turned around to leave.

At that moment, outside Teng Family City, two sword lights were flying toward the city. 100 feet away from Teng Family City, the two sword lights landed, revealing a man and a woman.

The man was middle aged and slightly older, but still looked very handsome. He was clearly handsome and stunning in his youth. This person was wearing a robe full of white and had the feel of a cultivator. The woman wasn't stunning, but emanated a very elegant aura. She was also wearing a white robe. Her eyebrows were locked. Clearly, she had some trouble in her mind.

The middle aged man raised his head and looked at Teng Family City as a complex look flashed across his eyes.

The woman sighed and whispered, "Wang Zhuo, it has been many years since that happened. Can you still not just let go?"

The middle aged chuckled and blandly said, "Let go? If I can let go of the grudge of killing my mom, my dad, and my entire clan, then I, Wang Zhuo, am not human."

The woman pondered a little and whispered, "I only came back to see my younger sister. In three days, we will leave. In these 3 days, please don't be impulsive, okay?"

"You can relax. Before I have the strength to kill that old thief, I won't act." The middle aged man's voice was bland and once he finished speaking, he walked forward.

The woman secretly sighed as she quickly followed and walked to Teng Family City with Wang Zhuo.

As the woman walked, she whispered, "Wang Zhuo, you really shouldn't blame this matter on ancestor. The person you should hate is that Wang Lin. Even though he is dead, all of this was caused by him."

The middle aged man suddenly stopped. He turned around and said, word for word, "Teng XiuXiu, I have already told you to never say the name Wang Lin in front of me. Today, I give you one last warning. If you dare to bring him up again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The woman pondered a bit and no longer spoke, but went into Teng Family City with Wang Zhuo.

At that moment, at the edge of Zhao, in an unknown valley, there were suddenly flashes of bright light. Slowly, the light faded.

A white haired youth walked out of the valley. On his forehead was a purple star. He looked at the land in the distance and then turned toward the east. He knelt down and mercilessly kowtowed a few times. A killing intent showing the 400 plus years of hatred flashed across his eyes as he muttered, "Father, mother, Tie Zhu came back. This time, I'll make a river of blood flow in Zhao! If I break this oath, let my soul be destroyed!"

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, sending out waves of thunder. In a wave of rushing rain drops, a layer of fog formed…

Chapter 235 - Because His Name is Teng

Heng Yue Mountain.

The Xuan Dao Sect was shrouded in rain and fog with bolts of lightning flashing down accompanied by the roar of thunder. The foliage made popping sounds as the rain poured down.

On this rainy night, a white haired youth walked slowly through the forest. Every step he took in the soaked foliage created a rustling sound.

From a distance, this person looked at the Xuan Dao Sect on top of Heng Yue Mountain. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze. His target this time was a small village hundreds of kilometers away.

In the middle of the night at the mountain village, besides the roaring thunder, there was only the sound of rain hitting the ground. Of course, there would be a few howls from some of the dogs raised by the villagers. It was as if they wanted to defy this weather. However, the only response was even louder thunder.

The entire village was dark as the white haired youth walked along the main road, looking at the familiar scene mixed with unfamiliar elements. His eyes were no longer filled with coldness, but with melancholy. This melancholy could even melt ice as it was filled with an unimaginable amount of familial love.

400 years had passed in an instant. Although it didn't seem long for cultivators, it had been many generations for ordinary people. All of the houses in the village had been rebuilt by their descendents and now looked different from before.

This person was Wang Lin.

He looked around at the houses in the village. His gazed stopped at one house, remembering that there used to be a large tree there. He often read books and played with his friends under that tree.

In the blink of an eye, all of that had disappeared.

Wang Lin secretly sighed and slowly walked forward. After a short period of time, he stopped as he stared at a very familiar house. His body started to shake as he looked at the house. All of the other houses in the village had changed, but this house was still exactly the same as it was back then.

Wang Lin bit his lower lip and opened the main gate. The gate creaked as it opened. He closed it after he entered.

In the yard was a wooden table with several small wooden chairs under an overhang. Wang Lin silently watched the scene as tears fell from his eyes.

After a long time, Wang Lin walked to the house, opened the door, and stepped inside. Everything was left as he remembered, as if nothing had changed.

At the moment, Wang Lin felt like everything that had happened in the past 400 years was a dream and that he had just woken up. His parents were no longer dead and their souls weren't inside the heaven defying bead. They were inside his house and they had gone to bed in this rainy night.

However, with his divine sense, he knew without even spreading it out that there was no one inside this room.

In the center of the main room, Wang Lin saw two memorial tablets, one above the other. The one above read:

"Wang Tianshui, Zhou Tingsu"

The lower tablet read: "Eldest son: Wang Lin"

Under the two memorial tablets was an incense burner with some unused incense sticks next to it.

Wang Lin's eyes were filled with sadness as he lit up three incense sticks and placed them in the incense burner. He slowly knelt on the ground. He mercilessly kowtowed a few times and muttered, "This unfilial son is here to offer incense this time. Next time, I'll build a tower made of the Teng family's heads for my parents." An aura of killing intent escaped from Wang Lin. The room instantly became even colder than the rainy night outside.

After he finished, he pondered for a while, then suddenly moved and disappeared from the spot.

After a while, one could see a horse carriage racing toward the house from the mountain village. Driving the carriage was an old man in white robes. It was clear that he was a martial artist in the mortal world.

He snapped the whip in his hand and, with a popping sound, the horse moved even faster.

The ground was uneven, which caused the carriage to keep bobbing up and down, but the old man seemed to be glued to the carriage. He remained unfazed and would sometimes shout, "Go!"

Soon, the carriage got close to the house. The old man let out a shout and tightened his hold on the reins. The horses let out a cry as their front legs went up into the air and the carriage stopped in front of Wang Lin's home.

The old man jumped off the carriage and respectfully opened the door. The moment the door opened, a girl jumped out of the carriage. She was wearing a green shirt, her hair was tied up in a bun, and she looked very pretty.

After the girl got out of the carriage, her body shivered. Clearly, the coldness of the weather had gotten to her. However, she didn't mind. She opened up an umbrella and said, with a crisp voice, "My lady, we are here."

An exquisite figure came out of the carriage and stood under the umbrella. This girl's face was pale. It had the look of a sickly beauty.

The moment she came out, her body shivered. The servant girl quickly held the umbrella in one hand and grabbed a large purple coat from the carriage with her other hand. With the help of the old man, they placed the coat on the young woman.

At the same time, the servant girl said, with discontent, "My lady, why did we have to come here tonight in the rain? We could have just come tomorrow instead. What if you catch a cold?"

Even the old man's eyes showed a sign of regret in his warm gaze.

That young lady smiled. As she walked, she said, "You guys don't know this, but before grandfather died, he said that no matter what happens, a descendent must come here to visit this place on this day. It is a family tradition."

The servant was still not happy and said, "My lady, this place is so far from the capital. Why must we come here every day? Could there be something important hidden here? I heard from the other servant that this place used to be one of the Wang family's branch locations."

The young lady stopped the old man from opening the gate and raised her own jade-like hand to push it open. She smiled at the servant girl and said, "This is the first time you've come with me, so you don't know. When we have time, I'll tell you."

After entering the courtyard, the three of them didn't hesitate and immediately entered the house. The servant girl closed the umbrella, shook the water off it, then curiously looked around the room.

As for the old man, he silently stood at the doorway.

The young lady took a deep breath. Just as the servant girl was about to walk up, the young lady stopped and said, "You wait with grandpa Li out here. I'll go in myself."

The servant pouted, but obediently nodded.

The young lady smiled, coughed a few times, then slowly walked toward the main hall. After entering the main hall, the young lady looked at the two tablets. She took placed some bedding in front of the tablets and knelt on the ground. After kowtowing a few times, she was about to take out a few incense sticks, but her eyes suddenly locked onto the three incense sticks that were almost burned out. Just as she was about to cry out, she felt a gust of cold air in the room. She froze up and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. She felt that if she moved, she would be killed instantly.

She saw a young man with a head full of white hair slowly walk into the room.

Wang Lin looked at the young lady and blandly asked, "Whose descendent are you?"

The young lady's face was filled with horror.

She constantly trembled as cold air penetrated her body. Even her voice trembled as she asked, "Who are you? And why are you at the Wang family's ancestral home…"

Wang Lin looked at the young lady. He waved his hand. The cold air around her disappeared and was replaced by a sense of warmth. The young lady's body felt warm as she revealed a shocked expression and looked at Wang Lin. However, she secretly moved her right hand and touched her waist.

Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind created by the force palm rushed into the room along with the old man. However, the moment the old man entered the room, he slumped over and fell asleep.

The young lady's face became pale

Wang Lin didn't even glance at the old man that passed out and blandly said, "I'll ask you again: whose descent are you?" In reality, the moment he saw his house, he already had a suspicion. It was impossible for the house to remain the same without someone taking care of it. Although the house looked the same, it had been rebuilt to look like what it was before.

The young lady revealed a determined look. She clenched her teeth and said, "My father is Wang Yun. Since you already followed me here, why even bother asking these questions?"

Wang Lin frowned and asked, "What do the people whose names are carved on these tablets have to do with you?"

"… it's the ancestral home of my ancestor's brother." The young lady was very confused. If he was someone sent by one of her father's enemies, why was he asking these questions?

Wang Lin's heart shook. His voice was no longer bland. It instead trembled a bit as he asked, "What is the name of your ancestor?"

The young lady hesitated a bit and answered, "Ancestor's name is Tian Tu…" She felt that this person was very strange.

After Wang Lin heard the name, his body immediately shook. He muttered, "Fourth uncle…" Speaking of the Wang family, aside from Wang Lin's own parents, the one he cared the most for was fourth uncle. After hearing news of fourth uncle, he couldn't help but become excited.

Scenes of fourth uncle replayed in Wang Lin's head. After a long time, he sighed and looked at the young lady. His gaze was filled with a complex emotion, a look one would have when looking at their own descendent. He slowly said, "Your ancestor… at what age did he die?"

The strange look on the young lady's face became even deeper as she answered, "Ancestor died at the age of 98. When he was middle aged, he caught the attention of an immortal of the Piao Miao sect. After he got off the mountain, he started his life in the capital and became one of the vassals of the royal family. That was also when the foundation of the Wang family started."

There was a hint of relief in his eyes as he asked, "Fourth… your ancestor's son, Wang Hu, also died?"

The young lady's eyes were shocked as she muttered, "How…how do you know about the ancestor's son, Wang Hu? Three years after the ancestor died, he also died."

Time passes and people come and go. After Wang Lin heared about fourth uncle, his mentality underwent a change. After a long time, he looked at the young lady and slowly said, "There is harmful Yin energy inside your body. Was your mother injured when she was pregnant with you?"

After hearing Wang Lin's words, the young lady's mind was in complete chaos. It has to be said that if Wang Lin had carefully inspected her and had some clues, then it would have made sense if he managed to guess some of her secrets. However, very few people knew about the Yin energy in her body and most just thought that she was born with a weak body.

The young lady looked at Wang Lin. She asked, with a trembling voice, "You…who the hell are you?" The young lady had already thrown out the idea that he was an assassin sent by her father's enemies. If he was, why would he know so many things?

Wang Lin waved his right hand and a cloud of green mist started to gather at the young lady's forehead. The color of the cloud became deeper and deeper until Wang Lin finally waved his hand and the gas disappeared without a trace.

The young lady suddenly felt her body warm up. The coldness that had bothered her for 20 plus years disappeared with just a wave of his hand. This suddenly reminded her of a type of person from the myths.

The young lady bit her lower lip and asked, "You… you are an immortal?"

Wang Lin chuckled, "Immortal… sort of." Seeing that fourth uncle had descendants and that they were doing well in the capital, Wang Lin couldn't help but feel relieved.

Wang Lin pondered a little. He looked at the young lady and said, "Speaking of which, I'm considered your ancestor too. I made an agreement with fourth uncle that if I successfully become an immortal, I would protect his family to repay him for giving me the chance to become one." With that, he slapped his bag of holding and took out bottles of pills and continued, "There are 72 pills here. Every descendant can take one pill. They mustn't be greedy, but you are allowed to take 3."

After giving the bottle to the young lady, he pondered a bit and pointed his finger between her brow. After extracting a drop of blood, he slapped his bag of holding and took out a piece of jade. He left a sliver of his Ji Realm inside the jade, then turned to the young lady. His expression was serious and cold as he said, "I have left a small piece of my divine sense inside this piece of jade. No cultivator in Zhao will be able to last more than a moment under its might. However, this jade can only be used three times. For now, you hold onto it. Only descendants of the Wang family can use it. Be careful and use it wisely."

After throwing the jade at the young lady, Wang Lin waved his sleeves and disappeared from the room.

The young lady stared dumbfounded at the pills and jade in her hands, still feeling like she was dreaming. The old man that fell on the ground slowly woke up. His eyes suddenly lit up as he got up, walked next to the young lady, and asked, "My lady, what exactly just happened?"

At this point, the servant girl also came in. Only after seeing that the young lady was fine did she let out a breath. Her face reddened as she said, "My lady, Cui Er was too tired and accidentally fell asleep."

The moment the old man heard those words, his face became ugly. He clearly remembered that the young lady had sent him a signal, but the moment he entered the room, he lost all control and fell asleep.

"It's okay. Don't overthink all of this. Let us go back to the capital." The young lady took a deep breath and stood up. The sickly complexion had disappeared from her face and was replaced with a healthy, red glow.

The old man was the first to notice the abnormality. He said, with a shocked voice, "My lady, you…"

At that moment, the servant girl also noticed the difference and revealed an expression of disbelief.

The young lady let out a smile. She didn't explain. She turned around and looked at the two tablets in the room, especially the one that said Wang Lin. Then, she turned around and left the room.

With her cleverness, she already had an idea of what happened, but to confirm her speculation, she must check the family tree back at the capital. She believed that this time, father will take time from his busy schedule to check the family tree with her.

After leaving the village, the warmth on Wang Lin's face disappeared as he became more serious. His entire body emitted a strong murderous aura. He quickly flew in one direction. His heart was set on completing his revenge.

If he directly killed Teng Huayuan, then all of the descendents would scatter, preventing Wang Lin from achieving his dream of wiping out the Teng family.

Most importantly, if he simply killed Teng Huayuan, it wouldn't appease the anger in his heart. He wanted Teng Huayuan to watch as he killed all of his descendents, to suffer through the pain of having your family killed. Only after that would Wang Lin finally kill Teng Huayuan.

He spread out his divine sense and easily covered the entire country of Zhao. He easily found Teng Family City where Teng Huayuan was and flew toward it like lightning.

Wang Lin stopped 10,000 kilometers away from Teng Family City. He stuck a formation flag into the ground and with a wave of his hand, the flag disappeared.

Then, Wang Lin flew around the Teng family city and placed 16 formation flags. He stared at Teng Family City with eyes filled with bloodlust, let out a cruel smile, and whispered, "Starting today, one can enter Teng Family City, but they can't leave. Teng Huayuan, my revenge has just started."

His eyes were cold as he quickly formed seals with his hand. He floated up into the air. As he let out a roar, he quickly hit pressure points on his own body. Soon, a green gas came out of his body and wrapped around him. Behind him, a figure that looked like an ancient demon god appeared.

Wang Lin put one knee on the ground. He poked his right finger and a drop of blood appeared. He shouted, "Teng Li's soul, appear!"

Suddenly, the illusionary demon god opened its mouth and swallowed the drop of blood. Then, it spat out a weak, green light.

The green light slowly descended. Wang Lin caught the green light and the illusionary demon god slowly disappeared.

This was a small technique he learned from the memories he inherited from the ancient god. This technique allowed him to recover the soul of anyone he had killed. However, the soul would only last half an hour.

The returned soul didn't have any memories, only some basic instincts. To the Ancient God, it was a useless technique that could only really be used to temporarily increase the power of magical treasures.

But the moment Wang Lin found this technique, he came up with a series of revenge plans.

Holding Teng Li's soul, Wang Lin swallowed it without a second thought and covered the entire country of Zhao in his divine sense again. Slowly, one bright dot after another appeared in Wang Lin's divine sense with the help of Teng Li's soul. Each of those bright dots represented someone with Teng family blood in their body. These people, no matter if they were from the main branch, sub branch, or were descendents of Teng family females that married out, they all appeared in Wang Lin's divine sense. It could be said that as long as they had any Teng family blood in them at all, Wang Lin had found them.

Wiping out a family was not something as simple killing all of the Teng family members. Wang Lin must kill anyone with Teng family blood to wipe out all descendents of the Teng family. That is what it truly means to wipe out a family.

Gradually, more and more bright dots appeared in Wang Lin's divine sense and his smile became more and more cruel. Throughout the years, the number of descendents of the Teng family had already reached an unimaginable degree and every single one of their soul signatures was memorized by Wang Lin.

Half an hour passed in an instant and Teng Li's soul that was devoured by Wang Lin dissipated.

Wang Lin's right hand slapped his bag of holding and the mosquito beast suddenly appeared. He stood on the mosquito beast and flew toward the closest sect. There was a total of seven Teng family members there.

Teng Xuan was one of the 6th generation disciples of the Teng family. He had already reached the early stage of Core Formation. One of the reasons he had gotten this far was because he was from the Teng family. The other reason was that he entered the sect as a disciple of one of Tian Dao Sect's Nascent Soul ancestors.

The Teng family had a total six family members in the Tian Dao sect and all of them had considerable status in the sect. Of course, the one with the highest position was still Teng Xuan. After all, the other five were only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Teng Xuan was very satisfied with what he had, whether it was his cultivation partner or his current position. Of course, all of this was nothing compared to the core members of the Teng family, but he knew his own limitations and that those were not people he could compete with.

Even among the countless Teng family members, how many could really compete with those geniuses? Teng Xuan only wished to reach the late stage of Core Formation before he dies.

Today, his little sister, Teng You, will be visiting him. When he thought of his little sister, his lower half heated up. He and his little sister had a great secret.

They had slept together when they were young and have kept doing so in secret. Teng Xuan knew that his little sister was very lewd. As they grew up, many other Teng family members had a taste of her and even some family members of the previous generation have had some affairs with her. But he didn't care. Whenever he thought of the bedroom techniques his little sister had learned in the He Huan Sect, he just couldn't wait.

He quickly arrived at the loft in the back mountain with those heated thoughts in his head. He opened the door and suddenly, a very seductive body emitting a soft fragrance landed in his arms.

Wang Lin traveled quickly and soon saw the sect on top of the mountain peak. The three words on top of the main entrance read: "Tian Dao Sect".

Wang Lin didn't stop at all and charged toward the sect. Suddenly, a light screen appeared as the grand formation protecting the sect activated to block Wang Lin. Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and the restriction flag appeared in his hand. Wang Lin shook the flag and dozens of restrictions shot toward the light screen.

Without any hesitation, the light screen broke and a rumbling sound spread throughout the Tian Dao Sect as rocks and dust flew all over the place.

Almost instantly, the few Nascent Soul ancestors came out of their closed door training and looked at the sky in shock.

The mosquito beast under Wang Lin's feet noticed his master's killing intent and quickly charged toward the Nascent Soul cultivators. Those Nascent Soul cultivators secretly cursed. Just as they were about to take out their magic treasures to fight, Wang Lin sent out a message that came down upon the entire sect like divine retribution.

"I have a personal grudge with the Teng family descendents. Anyone that gets in my way will die!"

Wang Lin put a bit of his divine sense into his message. This message came from the sky and the lower it got, the lower it became. The message roared across the Tian Dao Sect. The Nascent Soul cultivators that heard it coughed out blood, causing them all to reveal horrified expressions.

At the same time, Wang Lin jumped off the mosquito beast. His gaze quickly fell on one of the disciples of the Tian Dao sect in the square outside the main hall. The youth was terrified.

Wang Lin let out a cruel smile. He waved his hand and the youth flew toward him. The youth's hand was around his own neck as he struggled and tried to say something. It was unfortunate, but he shouldn't have been named Teng.

Wang Lin squeezed his right hand and with a cracking sound, the youth's eyes bulged and he immediately died. Wang Lin's left hand slapped his bag of holding and took out a soul flag that absorbed the soul of this Teng family member.

Wang Lin threw the youth's body behind him. At the same time, a long dragon banner flew out of his bag of holding. The banner wrapped around the body. The banner was held by the mosquito beast.

All of this happened in plain view of the entire Tian Dao Sect. Wang Lin killed this person quickly and cleanly. Then, he charged into the main hall toward another youth. The youth had a look of indignation and his fists were clenched. After this, he would never have the chance to unclench them.

All of this was because his name was Teng!

Wang Lin's right palm hit the youth's head. The youth's internal organs were destroyed and his soul was taken away by the soul flag. There was no pity in Wang Lin's eyes as his body moved again. At that moment, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the sect had caught up. A red faced man quickly appeared before Wang Lin. Although he was frightened, he quickly said, "Fellow cultivator, please stop. If there is any problem, we can talk about it."

Wang Lin didn't even look at the person. His Ji Realm immediately moved and in a flash, the red faced man's eyes went dim. As Wang Lin moved past him, he hit him, causing his body and Nascent Soul to shatter into pieces and fall to the ground.

A voice as cold as winter came out of Wang Lin's mouth. "Anyone who tries to stop me has committed the same crime as the Teng family!"

The hearts of the surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly shivered. They froze and didn't dare to move again.

Wang Lin left the main hall and flew within the sect. The Nascent Soul cultivators all hesitated. One of them took out a piece of jade, imprinted a message on it, then threw it out. The jade quickly flew away and disappeared into the distance.

Then, the Nascent Soul cultivators all looked at each other. They bit their lower lips and decided to follow Wang Lin. Although they didn't dare to stop Wang Lin, if they didn't even dare to follow him, then they really weren't fit to be Nascent Soul ancestors.

A very beautiful woman was flying toward the Tian Dao Sect with a panicked expression. She didn't want to die.

Her eyes were filled with fear. She didn't want to die, but her name was Teng!

Wang Lin ruthlessly crushed the woman's spine. After collecting her soul, he threw her body backward. The dragon banner once again flew out and wrapped around the body. At the moment, there were three bodies on the dragon banner.

Wang Lin didn't stop. Of the four people remaining, two of them were in the back mountain and the other two were running away. One of them was almost out of the Tian Dao Sect's formation's range.

Wang Lin's eyes were as cold as ice. He moved and instantly appeared outside the Tian Dao Sect. He saw a youth frantically flying and constantly looking back.

However, the head that the youth turned back would never have a chance to turn back around again because his name was Teng!

Wang Lin flicked his finger at the youth's chest. The youth's body shook and he immediately died. Wang Lin trapped the youth's soul, threw the body back toward the dragon banner, then flew toward his next target.

The Nascent Soul cultivators following close behind him were horrified. They all had the same thought: when did the Teng family offend a fiend like this?

This fiend's cultivation was at an unimaginable level, yet he didn't go fight Teng Huayuan. Instead, he was here killing the Teng family descendents. Clearly, he had a very deep grudge against the Teng family and wanted to wipe out the entire family.

These Nascent Soul cultivators felt a chill in their heart and their steps unconsciously slowed down.

Wang Lin's eyes were still cold as killing intent slowly surrounded his body. He let out a cruel smile as he locked onto the 5th person. This person was the oldest out of everyone here. His hair was already all white, but his cultivation level wasn't very high, only at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

The old man's face didn't show any signs of panic or grief, but instead had a very serious expression. As he was flying, he repeatedly took out message transmission jades, filled them with a bit of his divine sense, then threw them out.

However, his fate had already been decided because his name was Teng!

When Wang Lin appeared before him, he stopped flying as he sullenly looked at Wang Lin and said, "Senior, what grudge do you have with our Teng family? There must be a misunderstanding…"

Wang Lin didn't say a word. Without letting the old man finish, he waved his hand and a black flying sword flew out of his bag of holding. The black sword pierced through the old man's chest. The old man's body turned black. He died before he could finish speaking.

Wang Lin sealed the soul, bound the body, and flew toward the back mountain.

Every time Teng Xuan met with Teng You, he would open up the formation for the loft in the back mountain to hide all traces of their presence. However, this also meant that he wouldn't be able to feel the outside, but in terms of safety, this was the best way.

After all, he and Teng You were brother and sister. If he was found out, his reputation would be ruined. Although Teng You had been sleeping around with a lot of people, including Teng family members, people kept that in their hearts and never spoke about it. If he was caught in bed with her, then it would be a completely different matter.

As a result, he didn't know about anything that had happened outside. All he saw was Teng You's alluring eyes and delicate body.

After a few piercing growls, Teng Xuan fiercely pounded Teng You as if he is trying to rip her apart. Teng You quickly activated the He Huan Sect's technique and at that moment, both of them reached the peak of bodily pleasure.

It has to be said that Teng Xuan and Teng You were considered lucky. Although the two of them will die, they at least experienced great pleasure before they died together.

Teng Xuan took a few deep breaths and got off Teng You's body. However, he immediately noticed that something was wrong, then noticed that there was an extra person in the room.

His heart shook. Just as he was about to speak, the person moved in a flash. That was the last scene he ever saw.

As for Teng You, just as she opened her eyes, she saw Teng Xuan' head fall to the ground. She immediately let out a scream, however, this scream wasn't as alluring as the screams from before and would be the last scream of her life.

They were bound to die because these two siblings were named Teng!

After killing the two of them, he sealed their souls, bound their bodies, and left the loft. The Nascent Soul cultivators of the sect all stood outside the loft in silence. Wang Lin didn't even bother to look at them as he jumped onto the back of the mosquito beast and left with the dragon banner trailing behind him. On the dragon banner were seven corpses.

Wang Lin didn't stop moving as the mosquito beast flew away from the Tian Dao Sect. From a distance, the seven corpses bound by the dragon banner looked like the tails of a peacock emitting a bloody light.

It wasn't until Wang Lin disappeared in the horizon that they all finally let out a breath. One of them whispered, "The Teng family is finished…"

Another person muttered, "Not just the Teng family, the entire country of Zhao is going to go into turmoil." Then, he took a deep breath and said to the elders of the Tian Dao sect that were looking his way, "Send out the order to call back all disciples that are training outside. Cut off all business relations that have to do with the Teng family. Any of the disciples that are training outside and have formed cultivation partners with Teng family females are to be expelled from the sect. From this day on, we will have no connections with the Teng family."

After killing seven members of the Teng family, Wang Lin's eyes were still cold. One must have a firm heart to wipe out an entire bloodline. If one had a moment of weakness, they couldn't act decisively when needed and won't be able to go through it all. After all, wiping out a bloodline was not something that just anyone could accomplish.

Wang Lin's next goal was another sect that was tens of thousands of kilometers away. There were a lot of Teng family members there, a total of 93.

Wang Lin was in no hurry. He wanted to slowly kill them to allow Teng Huayuan to struggle with the pain of watching his family die, but be unable to do anything. He wanted Teng Huayuan to feel the pain of wanting to rip open his own chest to see if his heart had shattered yet.
