A few days passed. Because the obstructing troops in this area had all been tricked and killed by Lin Yun on the island of Yamato City that day, their advance was not obstructed at all. Within three days, they had arrived at the mountain range mentioned by the Dark Empress.
In the evening, the sky was covered with thick clouds. Lightning was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, tearing through the haze in the sky.
Lin Yun and the others had arrived at the sect known as the Nanshan Sect.
Outside the sect, thousands of disciples stood in great numbers, ready for battle. None of them dared to let their guard down, because every single one of them knew that the rumored Great Demon, Lin Yun, had already arrived at their Nanshan Sect.
What happened in Yamato City that day had already spread throughout the entire northwest region.
Lin Yun had single-handedly killed thirty-six Wu Huangs.
This news was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. Everyone who heard it was trembling in fear.
When the obstructing troops learned of this news, they all reined in their horses and slowed down their pace. They only hoped that the God of Death, Lin Yun, would leave the northwest region as soon as possible and return them peace.
After all, the battle between Lin Yun and the Nightmare was all a rumor. It was full of mystery.
But that thirty-six Wu Huangs had been tricked and killed in Yamato City with their own eyes.
They also heard that even Shao Xiu, who had helped Lin Yun, had been hacked to death by the disciples of the thirty-six sects in the end.
And it was said that the news that Shao Xiu had helped Lin Yun was told by Lin Yun himself to the disciples of the sects. One could imagine how ruthless this person was.
The people of the northwest region had given Lin Yun a new nickname, "King of Hell."
But Lin Yun was unmoved by all of this. Shao Xiu's matter had nothing to do with him. The Dark Empress hated Shao Xiu, so she spread the news.
However, none of this mattered. Their current mission was to raze this Nanshan Sect to the ground, then pass through these mountains and arrive at the Kaize Region, kill Meng Mingshi, and bring Yang Zhaochan back.
"Hurry up and finish it. Don't waste too much time." Lin Yun waved his hand impatiently, as if he was talking about something as simple as eating.
Yasuo and the others rubbed their palms together. It was only a small sect, so it wouldn't take too much time to annihilate them.
"Wait!" Just as Lin Yun and the others were about to make their move, an old voice suddenly sounded in the South Mountain Sect.
Following that, the thousands of disciples parted to form a path. An old man with white hair and beard in Taoist attire walked out from the crowd and stopped in front of Lin Yun.
Lin Yun raised his hand, gesturing for Yasuo and the others to stop. He then looked at the old man.
"You must be the famous Lin Yun, Sect Leader Lin? I am Ying Xinghai, the Sect Leader of the South Mountain Sect. I have been waiting for you here for a long time! "Ying Xinghai smiled kindly and bowed to Lin Yun.
As the saying goes, one does not slap a smiling face. Lin Yun nodded and looked at Ying Xinghai calmly.
Lin Yun could clearly sense that Ying Xinghai was only at the fourth-level Wu Huang realm and posed no threat to him.
"I have set up a banquet in the sect. May I invite everyone in?" Ying Xinghai asked.
"No need. Speak your mind," Lin Yun replied coldly.
Ying Xinghai was not angered by Lin Yun's attitude. He only nodded and said, "In that case, I will have a few words with Sect Leader Lin. If Sect Leader Lin still wishes to cross the mountain after hearing what I have to say, the South Mountain Sect will not stop you. "
Lin Yun frowned. He did not know what Ying Xinghai was planning.
However, if the South Mountain Sect did not stop them, they could save a lot of time.
Moreover, if it was not necessary, he did not want to stain his hands with blood every day and commit the sin of killing.
"Sect Leader Lin, then this old man will get straight to the point."
"The Sacred Alliance has indeed given orders to the South Mountain Sect to stop Sect Leader Lin at all costs."
"Just as Sect Leader Lin thought, the South Mountain Sect is also under the Sacred Alliance's control."
Although Lin Yun did not enter the sect, Ying Xinghai still invited Lin Yun and the others to a pavilion outside the sect. At the same time, all the vigilant disciples were evacuated.
"Speak your mind," Lin Yun said after sitting down. He knew that Ying Xinghai meant no harm.
"I have been waiting here for Sect Leader Lin's arrival mainly to persuade you to stop pursuing the Sacred Alliance."
"I know that Sect Leader Lin is not a fish in a pond or a bird in a cage. However, you must not go against the Sacred Alliance! "
"The Sacred Alliance isn't something that grade-3 factions like us can go against. Even the Seven Demon Sects, which have reached grade-4, wouldn't dare to go against the Sacred Alliance," Ying Xinghai advised earnestly.
Lin Yun shook his head. He had known about this for a long time, but none of this could stop him.
"I have heard that Sect Leader Lin has killed the President of the Assassination Society and Wu Sheng."
"However, there are dozens of Wu Sheng in the Sacred Alliance. There are even a few Wu Zun! The most terrifying one is the big shot of the Sacred Alliance, the half-step Emperor Wu! "
"So what?" Lin Yun smiled disdainfully.
Yasuo and the others had long been accustomed to Lin Yun's attitude. As for the Onyx Empress and the others, they had not seen it before and did not know much about Lin Yun. They all revealed horrified expressions.
Why does it seem like Lin Yun is not afraid of the Sacred Alliance at all? Even if there is a half-step Emperor Wu in the Sacred Alliance, he is not afraid at all? "
When Ying Xinghai heard Lin Yun's words, he sighed. He felt that Lin Yun was like a newborn calf that wasn't afraid of tigers. He continued, "Sect Master Lin, do you know that I'm not afraid of you? In the entire Western world, apart from the Anti-Union Religion, no other force dares to go against the Sacred Alliance! "
"In the past, the Sacred Alliance wanted to invade the Northwest Region. Many sects were unwilling to bow down to them, but they all turned into nothingness overnight! "
"I once led the South Mountain Sect and allied with the other sects in the surrounding area to resist the Sacred Alliance."
"Do you know why the South Mountain Sect is the only one left in the High Mountains?"
At this point, Ying Xinghai paused. His eyes were a little red, as he recalled some sad past events.
After a while, he continued to say, "After the Sacred Alliance formed the alliance, they only sent a messenger, and all of us were wiped out!"
"In one night! In one night! The 58 sects in the High Mountains were all wiped out, leaving only the South Mountain Sect! "
"I was forced into a corner. In order to protect the safety of my sect, I had no choice but to submit to the Sacred Alliance!"
At this point, Ying Xinghai shed tears. If he had not allied with the other sects in the past, they would not have been wiped out.
"Is the story over?"
