Chapter 695: Chapter 471: Thunder Flame Godslaying Slash, Arrival at the Sword Immortal Temple
Just half a day after Lin Chang’sheng left the Li Fire Sect, Xu Tiancang and Guo Yunchu finally arrived at the scene.
As soon as they found out that the Li Fire Sect had been destroyed, they were utterly amazed.
"Could this have been Lin Chang’sheng’s doing?"
Guo Yunchu gazed at the Li Fire Sect, now reduced to ruins, her eyes instantly filling with terror.
This Li Fire Sect was, after all, a second-class sect, and its Sect Leader was a Mid Stage Tribulation Crossing Cultivator. How could Lin Chang’sheng have wiped them out so easily?
A Mahayana Cultivator exterminating a Tribulation Crossing powerhouse—such a thing was unheard of throughout the entire Immortal Realm.
"The Li Fire Sect’s treasured Li Fire Flame was snatched by Lin Chang’sheng, and even the underground Innate Fire Vein has disappeared. With the power of these two treasures, Lin Chang’sheng’s cultivation will soar even faster!"
Xu Tiancang spoke slowly; at Lin Chang’sheng’s current rate of cultivation, it would likely take less than a century for him to break through to the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
He might soon become the youngest Tribulation Crossing cultivator in the entire Immortal Realm.
A Tribulation Crossing cultivator under a hundred—this was something no cultivator would dare even dream of.
Which Tribulation Crossing cultivator isn’t at least several thousand years old?
"No wonder this brat doesn’t fear my Immortal Martial Hall—looks like he’s got some real ability!"
Guo Yunchu couldn’t help but regard Lin Chang’sheng with new respect.
If Lin Chang’sheng could slay a Tribulation Crossing powerhouse, then killing her would be child’s play.
No wonder Lin Chang’sheng often looked down on her with disdain.
"He surely would not have come here without reason; perhaps he has more important matters!"
Xu Tiancang’s expression turned grave; he believed Lin Chang’sheng’s purpose here was hardly ordinary, otherwise he wouldn’t have traveled here alone through the skies.
He wanted to avoid attracting anyone’s attention.
"What important matters could he possibly have?"
Guo Yunchu was puzzled.
"That I cannot say. But very soon, all will be revealed."
Xu Tiancang knew that Lin Chang’sheng’s destination could not be far off.
The two of them promptly vanished from the scene, continuing their pursuit of Lin Chang’sheng.
Soon after their departure, four figures cut through the sky and landed at the Li Fire Sect.
Of these four, one was slightly older with a golden hairpin in his hair; another was lean and exuded the air of an Immortal.
One was burly and rough-looking, while the last was quite fat, his belly round as a drum.
These four were the Four Elders of the Heaven-Suppressing Sect.
Grand Elder Jin Zhongchang, Third Elder Jiang Hong, Fourth Elder Liu Wusheng, and Sixth Elder Yang Tao.
Upon receiving Sect Leader Jin Qiandao’s command, they had come to hunt down Lin Chang’sheng.
Lin Chang’sheng had slain an Elder of the Heaven-Suppressing Sect; such a threat simply could not be left alive.
If he were allowed to continue growing, someday he would certainly become a stumbling block for the Heaven-Suppressing Sect.
At first, the Four Elders thought the Sect Leader was making a fuss over nothing, sending all four of them to hunt down a single Mahayana cultivator.
But when they arrived at the Li Fire Sect in pursuit of Lin Chang’sheng, they found the matter to be far from simple.
The Li Fire Sect was no Great Immortal Sect, but its Sect Leader was still a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator.
They never imagined Lin Chang’sheng would have wiped them out!
"Looks like this brat really isn’t ordinary!"
Grand Elder Jin Zhongchang stroked his white beard, eyes filled with astonishment.
Perhaps the Sect Leader truly had foresight, knowing Lin Chang’sheng was no common foe.
If any one of them had come alone to execute Lin Chang’sheng, there was little certainty of success—some might even be slain in return.
"How could a mere Mahayana cultivator possibly exterminate the Li Fire Sect? If you ask me, the brat must have had some powerful help!"
Third Elder Jiang Hong sneered with disdain.
If Mahayana cultivators could kill Tribulation Crossing powerhouses, those at the Tribulation Crossing Stage would be out of a job.
Between every realm stood a massive gap—it was never so easy to leap across it.
"That’s not out of the question, but we still need to be cautious. After all, He Jie of the Immortal Martial Hall, Long Ju of the Celestial Nether Sword Sect, Gao Yao of Spirit Mountain—all of them died under mysterious circumstances. This brat must be hiding some tremendous secret!"
Sixth Elder Yang Tao speculated.
Besides, Lin Chang’sheng still carried several Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasures, which greatly bolstered his strength.
"So what? Are you saying the four of us still can’t handle him?"
Liu Wusheng simply didn’t believe that if Lin Chang’sheng ran into all four of them, he’d make it out alive.
Between the four of them, they had two Tribulation Crossing powerhouses and two Late Stage Mahayana cultivators, not to mention the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasures provided by the Sect Leader. Killing a Mahayana cultivator was a given—slaying a Tribulation Crossing cultivator was practically guaranteed.
"We mustn’t be careless! Let’s go—if we don’t catch up to this brat quickly, further complications may arise!"
As Grand Elder Jin Zhongchang finished speaking, he vanished from sight in a flash.
The other Elders immediately followed after him.
This monstrous Lin Chang’sheng was truly a headache—the sooner they eliminated him, the better.
If given a few more years to grow, who could say what sort of chaos he might unleash?
...
During the following two days, Lin Chang’sheng did not idle.
He continuously absorbed the spiritual energy of the Innate Fire Vein, cultivating himself.
This Innate Fire Vein was perfectly suited to Lin Chang’sheng, not only strengthening his cultivation, but making his Flame Power grow more domineering within his body.
"I wonder if the Li Fire Sect’s Sect Leader is dead yet?"
Only then did Lin Chang’sheng recall that Wei Zhen had been trapped by him inside the Nine Heavens Soul-Devouring Immortal Array.
Now, two days had passed; even though Wei Zhen possessed Mid Stage Tribulation Crossing cultivation, his primordial power must have long since run dry.
When Lin Chang’sheng entered the Nine Heavens Immortal Array, he found that Wei Zhen had already died within.
The Nine Heavens Soul-Devouring Immortal Array was forged by merging multiple arrays, and trapping or slaying a Tribulation Crossing powerhouse was nothing difficult.
