Chapter 28: The Holy Temple! First Update

  Death is like a needle stabbing in the back.

  Tang Lin's entire body was icy cold, and at the same time, a strange anger suddenly burst forth from his chest. The ninety-nine dragon marks within him suddenly circulated, and powerful forces surged into his body. In this critical moment, his body forcibly shifted several inches to the side.

  Boom!

  A blue spear pierced through the left shoulder blade.

  A dull, severe pain as if tearing apart Tang Lin's muscles, this cyan long spear brought a huge inertia, pinning Tang Lin's body firmly to the mountain rock on one side of the canyon.

  Fresh blood, in an instant, stained the red rock, shocking and frightening. Tang Lin's heart was shocked and angry, although he had just stepped into the semi-saint realm, but relying on the power of the 99 Dragon Marks, his body speed was already incredibly fast, even a strong half-saint would find it difficult to capture his shadow.

  However, the green-robed woman suddenly saw through him and gathered wind energy in a flash of lightning, directly piercing his body with a spear.

  "In the Half Sage realm, how can there be such a powerful being." Tang Lin's face turned gloomy, and he quickly deployed his spiritual power, wrapping it around the cyan long spear, wanting to disintegrate it.

  However, the green-robed woman's dense spiritual energy was attached to the cyan long spear, and this spiritual energy far exceeded Tang Lin's, like a vast ocean. Tang Lin only made contact with it for an instant, but he felt his own spiritual energy being suddenly rebounded.

  Tang Lin hastily withdrew his spiritual energy, let out a low growl, and punched the mountain rock with great force. The entire mountain rock suddenly split open, Tang Lin's body fell off, then he exerted the Dragon Pattern power to support his body, and with the speed of Qian Huan Shen, he violently rushed towards the Grand Canyon.

  Tang Lin had discovered that although his physical strength was strong, his spiritual power was still too weak. If he possessed a treasure that could guard his soul, he would be invincible in the Half-Saint realm.

  But there is no problem.

  Xiao Hui once said that Half-Sage is a very deep realm, with a huge difference between the strong and the weak. The strongest Half-Sage can easily wipe out over a thousand Half-Sages!

  "The Barbarian God Tribe is the strongest combat tribe in legend, but the creator's work is not perfect. The Barbarian God Tribe's spiritual power is weak, only with a treasure that can guard the soul can it be considered invincible! I am like this now. My physical body is strong, but my spiritual power is too lacking."

  Tang Lin gritted his teeth in his heart, at this time he could only escape.

  The green-robed woman's eyes sparkled with surprise, her heart filled with astonishment. According to the master's information, she knew that Tang Lin had only just entered the Half-Saint realm, but she hadn't expected his movements to be so swift. She had used all her spiritual energy to control the wind and propel her body, yet she could barely keep up with Tang Lin's shadow.

  The green-robed woman grasped with a slender hand, and the sound of wind and thunder stirred. In the void in front of her, a swirling vortex of cyan color and threads of lightning flowed slowly into a long spear.

  "Die!"

  She drew her hand back and the long spear shot out suddenly.

  This long spear carried a rotating breakthrough momentum, as if it wanted to penetrate the sky and earth, and fiercely shot at Tang Lin.

  A thousand feet apart, yet seemingly just a moment away!

  Feeling the sonic boom behind him, Tang Lin's scalp went numb, and he suddenly steeled himself. Gathering all his strength and spiritual energy, he swiftly drew out the Golden Eagle Bow, and in a split second, he drew the longbow and shot an arrow explosively!

  Two rays of light collided in mid-air, and the golden eagle's bow arrow suddenly exploded, greatly weakening the cyan wind thunder spear's momentum. However, this wind thunder spear was the green-robed woman's full-force strike, its power still remaining, continuing to shoot towards Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin's pupils constricted, and in that instant, the world seemed to suddenly become silent. A figure slowly appeared before him, as if walking out of the ages. The figure was white as snow, with slender hands raised towards the cyan long spear that gathered the mighty power of heaven and earth.

  Time seems to have stood still.

  All the wild winds howled into Tang Lin's ears, but he seemed to hear nothing, staring blankly at this sudden white figure.

  The thunderous sound of the wind, as if held in this slender small hand.

  In an instant, all the fierce winds stopped abruptly. The sharp and unmatched blue long spear was pinched at its tip, and then the entire spear body collapsed and broke inch by inch.

  This white figure stood in mid-air in front of Tang Lin, looking down at the green-clad woman. As the green-clad woman's face changed color, he raised his hand and pointed out with one finger.

  Wow!

  The woman in green clothes suddenly had a streak of blood light appear between her eyebrows, and then her body fell straight down.

  Tang Lin was shocked and stunned.

  When the figure in white turned around, Tang Lin saw that familiar face.

  Ninth Princess!

  It was none other than Princess Jiu who suddenly appeared and saved Tang Lin.

  "Are you alright?" The Ninth Princess floated down in front of Tang Lin, looking at the wound on his back with concern. After a moment, with Tang Lin's healing power, although the wound had already healed, it was still clear that he had been seriously injured.

  Tang Lin shook his head and said in surprise: "How did you end up here?"

  "I happened to be going out, and suddenly sensed that there was an energy fluctuation here, so I rushed over." The Ninth Princess looked at Tang Lin's wound, full of sympathy, and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe away the remaining blood on his wound.

  Faint fragrance wafts, floating at the tip of the nose.

  So close, Tang Lin looked at her cheek, those clear eyes, his heart skipped a beat, his face turned red, and he felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.

  I hope time will stop at this moment!

  He suddenly felt some gratitude towards the green-robed woman.

  The ninth princess carefully wiped Tang Lin's face, unaware of his unusual condition. After wiping, the handkerchief was covered in fresh blood. She frowned slightly and pinched the handkerchief, which then turned into countless fragments that flew away with the wind.

  "Are you going to the temple?" The Ninth Princess raised her head and asked Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin hastily shifted his gaze and nodded slightly.

  The ninth princess's eyes lit up and she said delightedly: "Great, I thought you wouldn't come."

  As he gazed at her smile, a surge of warmth welled up in Tang Lin's heart. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the green-clothed woman not far away and hastily turned his head to look over.

  "The girl has already been knocked unconscious by me and her spiritual power has been sealed. This person's spiritual power is quite strong, about ten dan or so."

  "Ten stones?" Tang Lin was taken aback.

  "When you enter the temple, you will know." The Ninth Princess came to the front of the green-robed woman and squatted down, rummaging through her bosom. Suddenly, her face changed color, saying: "Not good!"

  She stretched out her palm from the bosom of this green-robed woman, and her originally fair and delicate hand had turned black.

  Tang Lin was shocked in his heart, "You've been poisoned?"

  The ninth princess's face sank slightly as she looked at the green-clad woman and said, "She is already dead!"

  "Is he dead?"

  "When she saw me, she must have realized that she couldn't escape and was afraid of my intimidation. At the moment I sealed her spiritual power, she poisoned herself to death. The poison should be hidden under her tongue, a common tactic used by assassins. Her body now contains highly toxic substances, so it's absolutely forbidden to touch her."

  Tang Lin was anxious and his mind was in a mess, saying: "What about you? Do you have any problems? Quickly seal the acupoints, otherwise the toxic gas will attack your heart and it'll be troublesome."

  The Ninth Princess smiled lightly and said, "This little poison won't harm me. As a saint, my body has the power to resist all poisons. This bit of toxic air can be refined in an instant." To prove her words, she revealed a flash of lightning on her slender hand in front of Tang Lin.

  After the lightning flashed by, his palm immediately returned to its original whiteness.

  Tang Lin secretly thought it was strange, and looked down at the green-clothed woman with a gloomy expression. The green-clothed woman's body now contained intense poison, so her origins would definitely be untraceable.

  "Do you have any enemies?" Ninth Princess asked Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin shook his head and said: "There are a few small grudges in our family, but they're too insignificant. There aren't any major ones."

  The Ninth Princess seemed to be thinking of something and said: "That must be an assassin sent by another country. Your talent has already caught the attention of the higher-ups, so you need to be careful from now on."

  "An assassin from another country?" Tang Lin's eyebrows furrowed.

  "There are three neighboring countries near the Cheongun Snow Dynasty, and I'm not sure which one it is." The Ninth Princess waved her hand, and a bolt of lightning enveloped the green-robed woman's body. "In any case, be careful from now on. This corpse contains extreme poison, and there's no token of trust. I'll destroy it first."

  Tang Lin nodded slightly.

  This assassin's method, he has seen it before. Today, even if he can defeat her, without the Ninth Princess around, he fears he would still be hard-pressed to escape with his life! After all, if he were to strike her down, they would definitely search her body, and in doing so, would inevitably fall into a trap.

  This is a series of linked assassinations.

  Tang Lin secretly felt a chill, watching the corpse of the green-robed woman disappear in the lightning, flying back to extinction, but his heart was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

  This time it's a half-sage coming to assassinate, next time, will it be a sage?

  The Ninth Princess looked at Tang Lin's heavy expression and comforted him, "As long as we are in the Holy Temple, it is safe, don't worry, once you become a Saint, they will find it very difficult to assassinate you."

  Tang Lin nodded.

  Empowering oneself is most important!

  "Come on, I'll take you to the shrine." The Ninth Princess smiled slightly and led the way as Tang Lin followed.

  Tang Lin gazed at her back, elegant and refined like a lily in the midnight, he stared blankly, suddenly feeling that the distance between him and her was somewhat far.

  Tang Lin shook his head and threw away these messy thoughts, then followed closely behind the Ninth Princess.

  Two people walk side by side in the Grand Canyon.

  Smelling the faint and elegant fragrance around him, Tang Lin's heart felt a warmth, thinking that if this road had no end, it would be even better.

  Just then, after walking for a while, a magnificent and majestic building appeared in front of the two people, standing upright in the Grand Canyon.

  The cliffs on both sides of the canyon gradually narrowed and crowded, and after entering, it was a vast world. The magnificent buildings were like giant creatures, filled with an overwhelming sense of oppression.

  The building was like a castle, with towering black gates below, and the two of them were like tiny ants. The sentry on the gate saw Princess Jiǔ and immediately waved his hand to signal the gate guard, who pushed open the gate.

  A brand new world gate opened in Tang Lin's line of sight.

  He felt a moment of breathlessness.

  This is the holy temple!

  All who have gathered here are saints!
