第三千一百九十九章 大怒

The Ghost Script Sect encountered a powerful enemy, and the loss of some members was not uncommon.

As Lin Xuan traveled along, he saw many corpses of cultivators.

But this one was different from the rest. It was an old man with a gaunt appearance. Beside him were scattered fragments of puppets.

Recognizing the old man’s face, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

Sure enough… the Ghost Script Sect had been completely wiped out here. Even their only Senior Elder had fallen.

The puppet fragments were familiar to Lin Xuan; he had given them to strengthen the Ghost Script Sect. But it seemed they hadn't served any purpose.

The Ghost Script Sect was now eradicated. So, could the Yin Node be in the hands of the enemy?

With this thought, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Who exactly was targeting him?

He didn’t believe that the Ghost Script Sect would suffer for no reason; this matter likely had something to do with him.

Thinking about it, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

How despicable!

They actually wanted to sabotage his plan to go to the Yin Realm to find Yue'er. Whoever did this would pay a heavy price.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the door,

Several cultivators hovered in mid-air.

Below them was the node leading to the Yin Realm, deep and bottomless, emitting thick, oppressive Yin Qi.

There weren’t many cultivators—three men and two women—but they were all powerful experts at the Spirit Cultivation stage.

Two of them were even late-stage experts with formidable strength.

"Senior Brother, the tiny Ghost Script Sect shouldn't have offended Master; why would our Senior Elder issue a decree to exterminate it?" A man in gray clothes asked, his face full of confusion.

"I don’t know," replied the one called Senior Brother. He was short and plump, not particularly handsome but quite amiable. However, he sounded rather irritable at the moment. "Could it be related to this Yin Node? For experts like our Senior Elder, a node leading to the Yin Realm should offer significant benefits. Why would he arrange such a thing?"

The gray-clothed man didn’t expect an answer; his words seemed more like self-musing.

"Alright, Third Brother, don’t ask so many questions. Let’s leave quickly. Although the Ghost Script Sect is insignificant, it's part of Cloud Concealment Sect’s peripheral forces. If word gets out that we’ve destroyed them, there might be serious trouble."

The woman who spoke was middle-aged and still had a certain charm. She didn’t want to stay in this place any longer.

"Second Sister, you’re too cowardly. We can’t provoke Cloud Concealment Sect, but the Ghost Script Sect is insignificant. Our Senior Elder is a late-stage cultivator; I don’t believe that little Lin boy would dare cause trouble just over such a small sect," countered another young woman in white clothes. Her face showed a hint of amusement.

"Hmph, you can’t say it like that. Old Monster Xue was famous far and wide before he was eliminated by that Lin boy. He acts as he pleases; if we know they’ve destroyed the Ghost Script Sect, who knows what will happen…" said the plump-looking cultivator slowly, clearly agreeing with the woman’s view—prudence first.

"Fourth Brother, what do you think?" The plump man turned to a silent cultivator beside him. This person was shrouded in mist and his exact appearance couldn’t be seen, but he was second only in cultivation level to the plump man, also at late-stage Spirit Cultivation.

"Let’s go!"

This man spoke very little; his suggestion was just one word: "Go!" The others weren’t surprised, having known him for so long.

Among the five, three agreed to leave and were the most powerful. The other two couldn’t argue further, so they used their abilities to try escaping.

Suddenly, a loud noise echoed in their ears. It sounded like a thunderclap, shaking their hearts and making them tremble involuntarily.

The woman in white was the weakest; she nearly fell from mid-air with a gasp of shock.

A terrifying aura came from afar, overwhelming spiritual pressure that made several of them struggle to breathe.

"Bad news, an old monster at late-stage cultivation!"

"Could it be… that Lin boy."

All present began to tremble. There weren’t many late-stage cultivators in the Three Realms; they were like mythical beings. Their Senior Elders were such great existences, but seeing them was rare.

There couldn’t be so much coincidence. Just as they had destroyed the Ghost Script Sect, a late-stage ancestor arrived here. Lin Xuan seemed to be the most reasonable explanation.

The five looked at each other in fear; if their suspicions were true, what would happen to them when Lin Xuan came?

"Quickly, everyone scatter!"

The plump man shouted loudly, his body emitting black light as he tried to fly away.

But just then, a cold voice echoed: "Go? Can you even leave? You dare come here and cause trouble. No matter how many deaths it takes, will you surrender or do you want me to deal with you personally?"

Hearing Lin Xuan’s voice, the others were terrified. Surrendering was impossible; even ants fought for their lives. They had to try.

The five scattered in different directions.

"Idiots, it seems you really took my words as empty promises."

The voice grew colder. A loud explosion echoed, and the heavy stone doors shattered into pieces.

Despite setting up powerful restrictions on the door, they were useless against that overwhelming force, turning into dust along with the stone doors.

A streak of lightning-like energy rushed in, recognizing one direction and chasing after it. It caught up almost instantly.

The person was shocked and couldn’t react in time as he was effortlessly knocked to the ground by the figure within the streak of light.

In this moment, Lin Xuan had chased down all five, capturing them. Their attempts to escape were futile; his speed was too fast.

They couldn’t even resist a single strike from him. As powerful late-stage Spirit Cultivation experts, they seemed like clay figurines in front of Lin Xuan, easily defeated.
