Chapter 2004: Chapter 1974: Lingxin Sect (Part 2)
Even if it’s a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den, you must take the risk and venture.
However, the middle-aged man did not respond, instead he closed his eyes in silence, awaiting death.
Seeing his calm demeanor facing death, Chen Yang did not waste any words.
Knowing he wouldn’t say anything more.
Swish.
A flash of sword light, and the middle-aged man lost all signs of life.
After dealing with the middle-aged man, Chen Yang didn’t leave but searched his body.
It’s impossible for a cultivator in the Spirit Gathering Realm to have nothing on him, surely there must be some personal items.
Sure enough, after a search, three items were found on him.
An ancient manual, with the words Thundering Palm Strike written in large characters.
It’s evident that this must be the ability or cultivation technique the middle-aged man used earlier.
A technique with the force of thunder and lightning, capable of confronting ordinary weapons, it’s definitely a formidable cultivation technique.
The other two items are spirit stones and a bank card.
The bank card is useless to Chen Yang since he doesn’t know the password, but the dozen spirit stones he carries are considered a small fortune.
If sold, they’d be worth over a hundred million.
After collecting these items, Chen Yang casually dug a hole and buried him.
Then quickly returned to handle the two people killed earlier.
Those two didn’t have anything valuable, only a few spirit stones were found, nothing else.
Logically, a cultivator in the Spirit Gathering Realm should not have just a few items.
It’s just that they belong to an organized group of cultivators, so they wouldn’t carry everything with them, hence the situation.
After dealing with the two, Chen Yang headed to the previous grove.
Ao Min was seriously injured and was still recovering there.
Seeing Chen Yang return, he was visibly shocked!
"Brother Chen Yang, you..." Ao Min was extremely shaken.
Because Chen Yang returned so calmly, although his body showed signs of battle, there wasn’t a hint of injury.
This indicated that Chen Yang fought three opponents alone and came back unscathed.
Such incredible battling strength, truly unbelievable.
"Brother Chen Yang, where are the three of them?" Ao Min swallowed, asking.
"All taken care of."
Chen Yang calmly replied.
"All taken care of?" Ao Min was inwardly shocked, his perception of Chen Yang had changed.
To single-handedly defeat three cultivators at the Spirit Gathering Realm, how much has Chen Yang grown?
Ao Min was in shock, while Chen Yang remained calm.
Approaching, he checked Ao Min’s injuries to ensure there were no issues before giving him some instructions.
He’s decided to look for the Lingxin Sect overnight and rescue Taoist Liu.
Ao Min, severely injured and lacking combat ability, couldn’t go along, so Chen Yang decided to let him return to the temple alone to rest.
"Brother Chen Yang, I’m unfamiliar with the Lingxin Sect, but judging by those three’s behavior, it must be extraordinary, is it wise to go alone?" Ao Min knew Chen Yang’s intention, and naturally tried to persuade him, not wanting Chen Yang to risk danger.
But Chen Yang had already made up his mind.
With Taoist Liu in trouble, he couldn’t turn a blind eye; regardless of the place, he must try.
"I know what I’m doing, take care and rest well, I’ll be fine."
Chen Yang gave a brief statement before instantly disappearing into the woods.
Ao Min opened his mouth to say something more, but Chen Yang had already vanished.
Helpless, he could only quickly return to the Green Cloud Taoist Temple.
...
On the other side, upon leaving Liaohe Village, Chen Yang immediately called Ma Jiantao to inquire about the location of the Lingxin Sect.
The previous middle-aged man did not provide specific details, so to find the exact location would require some effort.
Yet he was certain that Ma Jiantao would know the location of the Lingxin Sect.
Because from the tone of the middle-aged man, it sounds like an impressive place.
Ma Jiantao’s secret bureau manages affairs across Guangdong, they couldn’t possibly be unaware of its existence.
Chen Yang dialed the phone, quickly connecting.
"Hey, Chen Yang, there’s something I wanted to tell you, didn’t expect you to call yourself."
As soon as the call connected, Ma Jiantao’s unusually excited voice came through.
From his tone, Chen Yang realized there must be developments regarding the Five Poisons Cult, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so happy.
Recently, everyone’s been troubled over issues with the Five Poisons Cult, if it’s good news about them, Ma Jiantao surely wouldn’t smile.
"What’s up, Director Ma, any progress on the Five Poisons Cult?" Chen Yang followed his cue to ask.
"Yes, the member from the Five Poisons Cult we captured last time revealed a lot, we now understand their purpose."
Ma Jiantao shared some brief information, then noticed.
Chen Yang called undoubtedly for a reason, so he asked, "Chen Yang, you called, is there something you need?"
"Yes." Chen Yang didn’t deny it.
"What’s up, anything in particular?" Realizing it was serious, Ma Jiantao’s tone turned stringent.
"Do you know the Lingxin Sect?" Chen Yang asked directly, without beating around the bush.
"Lingxin Sect?"
Ma Jiantao’s tone changed upon hearing these words, though the specific meaning wasn’t clear.
"Yes, Lingxin Sect."
Chen Yang nodded, confirming again.
"Why are you asking about this place, are you in conflict with this organization?" Ma Jiantao questioned.
"No, something happened compelling me to visit. Director Ma, you should know about the Lingxin Sect, can you elaborate for me?" From Ma Jiantao’s tone, Chen Yang recognized he knew of the Lingxin Sect, and quite well.
"Of course, but I must forewarn you, the Lingxin Sect is of extraordinary status, you absolutely shouldn’t get into conflict with them."
Ma Jiantao earnestly advised.
Chen Yang understood his goodwill, as with Blood Bat Hall before.
"Go ahead, Director Ma."
Chen Yang skipped the topic and directly inquired.
Ma Jiantao gave a sigh, seemed certain about some matters, but chose to inform Chen Yang of everything he knew.
The Lingxin Sect is a traditional sect.
Historical records show it has existed for at least seven to eight centuries.
Such sects have deep roots, brimming with skilled experts and formidable strength.
Not comparable to typical sects.
Isn’t Blood Bat Hall considered proficient in the provincial capital?
Yet against the Lingxin Sect, it appears quite weak.
For a sect to exist centuries, the accumulated foundation and elite experts are extraordinary.
"Additionally, Lingxin Sect seems connected with several major sects in the Capital City, its power is substantial." Ma Jiantao remarked with awe in his tone.
Hearing his tone, Chen Yang could already envision the uniqueness of Lingxin Sect.
A sect with both strength and foundation, quite extraordinary.
"Where’s the sect located?"
After hearing Ma Jiantao’s general explanation, Chen Yang didn’t elaborate but straightaway asked about the sect’s location.
"The place isn’t far from your village, it’s on Tianhua Mountain."
Ma Jiantao said.
"Tianhua Mountain?" Hearing this location, Chen Yang was startled.
Because he was familiar with Tianhua Mountain.
Its elevation barely exceeds a thousand meters, although the terrain stretches wide, it was developed into a small tourist area long ago.
With such a mountain, how could a deeply-rooted sect remain hidden?
"Yes, it’s Tianhua Mountain, except the usual view of Tianhua Mountain is merely a section."
"The real Tianhua Mountain is concealed behind the mountain."
Ma Jiantao explained the detailed route to the Lingxin Sect.
After listening, Chen Yang understood entirely.
Knew how to find the Lingxin Sect!
