"Palace Leader, we've got some good nourishment this time. There's a Tenth Stage Dao Body …"
A black-robed man with a protruding mouth and monkey-like cheeks whispered to the white-robed man sitting on the high seat.
The white-robed man was none other than the palace master of the Heavenly Cloud Palace, Chen Tianyang. His expression was solemn, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "The refugees and cultivators of Maple City have pretty much all been taken in. I didn't expect to find a fat pig here, what a pleasant surprise."
Soon, An Lin, Liu Hu, and Liu Susu appeared in the hall.
"An Lin."
"Liu Hu."
"Liu Susu."
"Greetings, Palace Head Chen."
When the three of them saw Chen Tianyang, they bowed respectfully.
All the elders in the hall, including Chen Tianyang, carefully sized up the three people in front of them.
Chen Tianyang didn't say anything, but a mysterious smile appeared on his face. His gaze swept across An Lin and Liu Hu, and finally moved on to Liu Susu.
Liu Susu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but she didn't dare to make a sound in front of a high and mighty figure. She could only lower her head slightly.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that not only did a fat pig come, but also a beautiful flower …"
Chen Tianyang narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face grew wider as he slowly opened his mouth to speak.
Liu Hu and Liu Susu were at a loss for words upon hearing Chen Tianyang's words. They stared at the man in front of them with a bewildered expression.
Chen Tianyang nodded with a satisfied expression and issued a clear command, "Liu Susu can provide me with some entertainment first. As for the other two pigs, you can use them as nourishment."
This time, Liu Hu and Liu Susu finally came to their senses. They stared at the man in front of them in disbelief as a chill ran down their spines.
"Palace Head Chen … what are you planning to do to us? Didn't you say you wanted to recruit cultivators to fight against the Ant Tribe?!" Liu Hu's eyes widened, and his voice trembled as he asked.
Chen Tianyang nodded earnestly. "That's right. We'll only have the strength to fight the Ant Tribe if we can feed the Demonic Blood Lotus. Hehe, but Liu Susu, if you serve this consort well, then I can consider not feeding you. After all, I'm tired of all the girls who came to seek refuge with me. It's rare to see such a pure and lovely girl … "
Liu Susu's face instantly turned deathly pale. She gripped her father's arm tightly as her body trembled uncontrollably.
From Chen Tianyang's words, she knew that none of the exiled citizens and cultivators who had sought refuge with him had survived.
In the face of such a colossus, she didn't even have the courage to curse, and there was only fear and despair in her eyes.
Liu Hu still couldn't believe that the Heavenly Cloud Palace he had always dreamed of was like this.
He stood rooted to the ground with a blank look in his eyes, not knowing what to do.
Why was it that he had only wanted to ally with humans to seek revenge on the Ant Tribe? Why was it that he had been reduced to becoming nourishment? Even his daughter had become someone else's plaything …
"Are you done? When you're done, I'm going to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens. "
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly resounded and reverberated through the entire hall.
Liu Hu and Liu Susu snapped out of their daze and turned to look at An Lin.
Only now did they remember that there was a powerful senior beside them. This was most likely their only hope of survival.
"Senior An Lin, calm down. Let's try to escape now …" Liu Hu urged in a low voice as if he was grasping at straws.
He knew that Senior An Lin was extremely powerful, but he also knew just how terrifying the Heavenly Cloud Palace was. It was an unstoppable colossus, and only by escaping with all their might would they have a sliver of a chance at survival.
A peculiar silence descended upon the hall due to An Lin's words.
Chen Tianyang and all the elders stared at An Lin with peculiar expressions, as if they were looking at an idiot.
"Enforce justice on behalf of the heavens? Pffahahaha … I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it in any longer. "Chen Tianyang clasped his stomach as he chortled with glee.
"Are you really blind to the situation? Setting aside the fact that you're just a weakling of the Tenth Stage Dao Body, even if you were a powerful being of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, you'd still be nothing more than a nutritious pig in my eyes. " After laughing for a while, Chen Tianyang snapped his fingers. A white spell formation suddenly appeared on the floor of the hall, and a terrifying power of suppression swept toward them.
Liu Hu and Liu Susu immediately knelt to the ground in exhaustion, completely unable to resist.
However, An Lin continued to stand calmly, his expression unchanged.
"Oh? Not bad. "Chen Tianyang's expression shifted slightly.
"You talk a lot."
An Lin shook his head and drew his Evil-Slaying Sword. Streams of white wind revolved around it as he flicked his left finger toward a certain spot in the air.
Boom! The white spell formation seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy blow and collapsed with a loud boom.
Chen Tianyang didn't even have a chance to be surprised before the tip of a sword imbued with sharp killing intent appeared in front of him, and the fear of death engulfed his entire body.
It was impossible to describe what kind of extreme speed this was. An Lin took a step forward, and his body transformed into a blur. His longsword transformed into a thin white line and pierced through Chen Tianyang's heart like a bolt of lightning.
The tremendous force of the longsword forced Chen Tianyang back, and An Lin followed suit, pinning Chen Tianyang's body to the wall behind him.
Chen Tianyang's eyes widened in shock as blood trickled down the Evil-Slaying Sword and dripped onto the ground. Blood also seeped out from the corner of his mouth. He was shocked, unable to comprehend how this had happened.
He was the Palace Leader of the Heavenly Cloud Palace, a powerful cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage, and his heart had been pierced through by a nobody?
"I … you … you …" Chen Tianyang's voice was hoarse, and he struggled to speak, only to find that he was so terrified that he couldn't even finish his sentence.
"You what? I already said, I'm going to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens." An Lin spoke in a cliché manner as he drew his Evil-Slaying Sword impatiently.
As blood spurted forth, another streak of black light flashed through the air.
An Lin knew that battles in the cultivation world were ever-changing, and he knew that he had to be ruthless in his actions. Furthermore, he couldn't speak too much, or else he would be giving his opponent a chance to react.
Chen Tianyang's head rolled off his chest.
This inconceivable scene was finally disrupted by the sound of his head falling to the ground.
In the hall, the elders who had been intimidated by An Lin's methods finally began to fly into a rage.
"How dare you! How dare you assassinate the Palace Leader! I'm going to skin you alive and tear you to shreds! "
All of the elders began to unleash their divine techniques toward An Lin. There were also two elders who remained calm and collected, and they hesitated momentarily before charging toward Liu Hu and Liu Susu.
"Dabai, protect those two!" An Lin yelled.
The miniature white dog instantly expanded in size, transforming into a massive white dog as it swiped its paws toward the two elders.
In a split second, a strong gust of wind swept through the area. The gust of wind was as sharp as knives, sending the two Elders flying!
Liu Hu and Liu Susu finally came to their senses, and they stared in shock at An Lin, who was facing off against six elders on his own.
"Senior An Lin is so powerful …" Liu Susu's eyes widened, and her voice was filled with awe as she stared at An Lin.
Liu Hu was completely dumbstruck. Chen Tianyang, who was as powerful as a god in his heart, was killed by a single sword strike from An Lin? He didn't even get to unleash a single attack, and he was slain by a single sword strike? This gave him a sense of surrealism.
Just who was this Senior An Lin who had followed him here …
An Lin's combat prowess was already comparable to that of a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage after using the Six Strikes of the War God, and his Wind Sword could even kill a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage when they least expected it. However, this technique was extremely taxing on his vital energy, and he didn't want to use it against the six elders again.
These elders were all cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage or Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage, but their cultivation methods and divine techniques were worlds apart from the prodigies of Xiuxian United University, so he had no problem suppressing the six elders.
The alarms of the Heavenly Cloud Palace had already begun to sound, and the sect-protection formation had also been activated before inexplicably collapsing …
A thunderous roar erupted between heaven and earth, drawing closer and closer.
"Those who offend the Heavenly Cloud Palace must die!"
A bolt of white divine lightning fell from the sky, piercing through the roof and landing right in front of An Lin.
This was an elderly man with white hair and beard, and white lightning crackled around his body. He glowered at An Lin as a vast and powerful aura burst forth from his body.
The most powerful being of the Heavenly Cloud Palace, Grand Elder Chen Yan, had finally arrived.
