Chapter 14: The Head-on Probe Was Repelled

  。

  Lin Heng didn't extend his hand for a handshake, but instead patted the back of the other person's hand with a hint of annoyance and said, "Sorry, it's not convenient to say this, I'm not used to shaking hands with strangers."

  Wen Tao only felt a strand of fine "potential energy" suddenly entering his potential, and then exploding. His heavy potential defense collapsed instantly. Immediately afterwards, a vast amount of energy invaded from the back of his hand into his body, causing him to stumble backward two steps, staring incredulously at Lin Hang.

  What kind of move is this? Although the opponent had a suspicious look, he slapped his palm towards the back of his hand instead of shaking hands. But he was a fourth-grade strongman, and just that strand of Lin's unbelievable move made him encounter something he had never seen before. Moreover, the second wave of invading aura, if it wasn't for having a cultivation base that was not inferior to his, would have definitely forced him back.

  Wen Tao is now twenty-seven years old, and his cultivation has reached the early stages of the fourth rank. Generally speaking, this is extremely terrifying.

  He was actually born into a great family, and from the age of three, his family had been using large amounts of precious medicinal materials every day to temper his body and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He also had profound internal cultivation secrets as his main practice. After arriving at Xuantian Sect, he received even more favor from the elders and was personally cultivated.

  It can be said that he has reached such a terrifying realm because his cultivation environment is far superior to that of ordinary aristocratic families.

  Lin Heng is even younger than him, yet he's not inferior to him. In fact, Lin Heng has a feeling that makes his heart and gallbladder dark and murky. How did Lin Heng manage to achieve this? Is it because of the strong guest Qing from the Yi Yin Sect who cultivated him? However, at such a young age, having achieved such a level of cultivation is simply terrifying!

  At this moment, Wen Tao had no doubt that Lin Hang was the apprentice of that omniscient and omnipotent Guest Elder.

  He gritted his teeth and waved his hand at the Xuantian Sect disciples behind him, saying: "Withdraw completely!"

  Half a cup of tea's work, the disciples of Xuantian Sect left cleanly, leaving only Yang Desong and the people of Tiyan Sect.

  Yang Desong was also helpless, if it was the old man's intention, he didn't dare to say anything. But since that person said they wouldn't interfere with the internal affairs of the Ye family, then there was still a glimmer of hope for him to capture Xie Jing and make her surrender.

  He cupped his hands and said: "I am Yang Dechong, the Grand Elder of the Xuan Yin Sect. Just now, a disciple of our sect reported to me that there is a small traitor who has entered your cave mansion, Senior. This is an internal affair of our Xuan Yin Sect, I wonder if it's possible to inform you, Senior, and hand over that little traitor to our sect?"

  Seeing Xuan Tian Sect being humiliated, Lin's pressure was greatly reduced. He calmly swept his gaze towards him and said: "Master said that Guest Elder is responsible for the safety of the host. The person who just came had an order from Yi Yin Sect, so he has a duty to protect her safety. Master declared not to interfere with your Yi Yin Sect affairs, but it doesn't mean neglecting one's own contractual spirit."

  Having said that, he no longer paid attention to these people and suddenly disappeared into the formation.

  "Thanks for your help, big brother."

  Xie Yin's mouth was polite and enthusiastic, but her small face was dull and listless.

  Lin Heng helped her, and the great enemy of Xuantian Sect was driven away, which was undoubtedly very beneficial to her. However, on the other hand, it was confirmed that the object she wanted to find was not in the vast and powerful realm, so her wish to rely on this to counterattack the Great Elder Yang Desong fell through, and she was greatly disappointed.

  Now that Yang Desong has the upper hand, and is a strong 4th rank cultivator, her two younger siblings are still in the early stages of their first rank cultivation, how can they possibly turn the tables on him? The departure of Xuan Tian Sect reduced the opposing forces, but Elder Yang Desong's strength was truly too powerful, even without Xuan Tian Sect, she didn't feel any slight ease.

  It's like a little kid carrying two massive boulders, each weighing a thousand catties. Someone helps her move one away, but the remaining weight is still enough to make her hardly feel any relief.

  Lin Heng glanced at her tender little face, the majestic Hidden Sect was being invaded by others, with thousands of disciples, not one dared to stand up. Only she, this young lady, could fearlessly fight for the future of the sect, showing a strong and unyielding spirit that inspired admiration.

  Such a heavy responsibility fell on her small shoulders, it's really hard for her.

  Lin Hengdao said: "Now that the Hidden Sect is in the hands of Elder Yang Desong and with the help of the Xuantian Sect, you can ensure a certain degree of safety here. However, to turn the tide, it's almost as difficult as ascending to heaven."

  Xie Yin let out a soft sigh and said, "Yang De Song is a man of dignified appearance, my father was in power at the time, with a thick and honest, gentle and amiable appearance. To us two siblings, he has always been respectful and courteous, guarding his dignity, without thinking that he would be so sinister and ruthless.

  "My father's two most loyal elders were killed by him through conspiracy, and the other disciples who followed me were also demoted or exiled to remote places, or even imprisoned in the clan prison, completely eliminated."

  "Nowadays, within the sect, only Zhong Li elder secretly supports us." Xie Yin's thoughts became increasingly heavy, victory seemed distant, and her young eyes were filled with despair.

  Lin Tongdao said: "Doesn't the Hidden Sect have several senior guest elders? Are they all unwilling to take action?"

  "There are two, besides Li Qianbei, there's another Li Qianbei. Hmm, that Li Qianbei is a woman." She clarified to prevent Lin Heng from getting confused. "My brother and I have already looked for her, but she only said the same thing you did - unless the Tiexin Sect faces an external threat of life and death, she won't take action. This was the agreement she made with my father back then, which is why she refuses to help."

  Lin Heng was also at a loss, feeling helpless for her. The only ones who could change the situation were the two guest elders, but neither of them was willing to take action. With her limited martial power, what kind of storm could she stir up?

  "By the way, how did you know there was someone inside?"

  Xie Yin revealed a small triumphant smile, with an expression that said "your tricks have been exposed by me, I'm awesome!"

  "For these three months, I have been waiting nearby, afraid that Senior Li will return when I am not around."

  I have set up a special formation around the perimeter. As long as someone enters, they won't be able to escape my detection. This formation was taught by my father, and apart from me, no one else understands it."

  Lin Huan thought that she was able to escape the heavenly net and earthly web until now, a large part of the credit also went to this secret method.

  She shook her little head and said, "Very powerful? But this is not the most powerful. If I were in my father's study, I wouldn't even need to use this secret method to easily know whether or not Li is there."

  Lin Heng was shocked: "So fierce?"

  "In my father's study, there are two guest tokens of 'Breath Symbols'. As long as they appear within fifty miles of the Hidden Sect, the Breath Symbols will flash. My brother and I went to find that Li senior instead of coming here first because we knew Li senior was not around." She sighed softly: "Unfortunately, Li senior refused to help."

  Lin Hengdao knew about the "Breath Symbol" because Guest Elders usually went out for a long time to travel or practice in seclusion, and some even stayed indoors for decades without anyone knowing. Therefore, the "Breath Symbol" was a reflection of the Guest Elder's existence. When visiting the Guest Elder, one would usually go to the place of seclusion to see if the "Breath Symbol" was shining brightly, or directly bring the "Breath Symbol" to find the person. If it shone brightly, it proved that the person was present; if it was dull and dim, it proved that the "Breath Symbol" could not sense the Guest Elder's existence.

  So it was, Lin Heng suddenly realized.

  But he suddenly changed his face and secretly called it bad: "You said your father's study has a guest Qinglong's Xi Fu?"

  Xie Yin nodded slightly, seeing his shocked expression, and immediately thought that if the Great Elder Yang De Song showed this guest elder's "breath symbol", it would mean that Lin Heng was just scaring people, and Li Qianbei had not returned!

  Lin Heng smiled wryly in his heart, it seemed that Ming Jie's plan to protect himself would not work. If he didn't intervene, the elder Yang Desong would also come back to find him again, and he would fall into a desperate situation.

  "Take me to your father's study, and if possible, I'll help you get rid of Yang Desong and assist you in eliminating the treacherous and evil ones from the Manchu imperial clan. I'm not one of your guest officials or elders, so there's no need to follow any rules."

  Xie Yin's heart was filled with joy and her abilities greatly increased with such a helpful assistant.

  But immediately worried: "Yang Desong is a strong man in the late four products, you now look like, compared to me this little kid just bigger by a bit, can you beat him?"

  She didn't dare say kill him, just thinking of the best outcome Lin Heng could defeat him would be fine.

  Lin Heng gazed at the crystal stone beside him, which was radiating a brilliant light that dispelled the darkness. He spoke slowly: "A fourth-grade late-stage cultivator is indeed extremely powerful, but since I have decided to take action, no matter how strong a warrior is, I will have absolute confidence. Yang De Song's outcome will only be one - death!"

  He had just entered the late stage of the third rank, feeling the explosive energy all over his body in the late stage of the third rank. He was thinking of finding a target to test his strength. He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Xuantian Sect at first, but some things were not up to him. Once Yang Desong knew he had been deceived and that his adoptive father hadn't returned, Lin Heng would only wait for the siege of both the Tiange Sect and the Xuantian Sect!

  Lin Heng is not a soft-hearted person, especially when it comes to his own life. Moreover, he has no good feelings towards Yang De Song, who betrayed and abandoned him. At this moment, one must be decisive in killing and taking control, only then can they stand on unshakeable ground.

  Xie Yin was infected by his brief and firm words, and felt that at this moment, Lin Hong was

  As if mighty enough to kill Yang Desong, this traitor, with just one blow!

  In the undulating Shoujing Mountains, another mountain ridge about a hundred miles away from Liguifeng Ridge is the cave mansion of another guest elder Li Shi.

  "You've been kneeling for seven days and seven nights. At your age, you have such perseverance, which is commendable. However, no matter how long you kneel, it's all in vain. I won't make a move." Li Shi said calmly to the young man who was kowtowing on the ground.

  The young man was also fourteen years old, with eyebrows and facial features that were very similar to those of Xie Yin. His back was straight as a pine tree, his knees knelt on the ground, and his kneecaps had already bled. The blood had seeped through his pants from his kneecaps, but he still bit his teeth and didn't make a sound.

  He was being searched by the Imperial Guards, Xie Yin's younger brother, the young master of the Imperial Guards, Xie Li.

  The sister and brother are a pair of twins, who look exceptionally alike in appearance.
