"Zang Tian, you've succeeded in achieving unification. You've done something that none of us could. That's great! "
"I'm a Lord today. I'm going to soar in the future!"
"Congratulations, congratulations. Prepare a celebratory feast when we get back to the headquarters!"
…
The few Blood Sickle members immediately went forward to congratulate him.
Seeing the Blood Sickle members surrounding Zang Tian, Lin Huang did not join them. Instead, he waited until they were done chatting and Zang Tian walked over before he smiled and congratulated him.
"Congratulations, Boss Zang Tian, for successfully achieving unification and becoming a Lord! Remember to protect me in the future, boss. "
"You, kid …" Zang Tian smiled and sized up Lin Huang. He also noticed that Lin Huang's aura was unusual, but he could still vaguely sense Lin Huang's combat strength. "With your current cultivation progress, you should be able to take this step soon.
"Don't advance recklessly after you reach ninth-rank. Build a solid foundation and break through when you're confident, "Zang Tian added," I have a feeling that after you become a Lord, your abilities might far surpass mine. When that time comes, I won't be the one protecting you anymore. "
Clearly, Zang Tian did not know that a Lord had ambushed them outside his God Territory earlier, much less know about Lin Huang's true abilities. He really thought that he could protect Lin Huang now.
The six Blood Sickle members had rather odd expressions on their faces. They thought to themselves, 'This kid's background is much deeper than you can imagine. He has an Almighty above Lord backing him up. Why would he need you, a newly elevated lesser Lord, to protect him?'
Lin Huang had no intention of revealing his abilities for now. He nodded with a smile. "Alright, I'll protect you when I become a Lord in the future!"
The two of them chatted for a while before Zang Tian was dragged by the Blood Sickle members to a celebratory feast. They also called Lin Huang along.
Lin Huang wanted to decline at first. He was not familiar with the Blood Sickle members. But when he thought about it carefully, no one mentioned anything about the Main God's sneak attack. He felt that he should find a time to tell Zang Tian.
Just because the enemy had launched a sneak attack on Zang Tian during his Dao Integration Stage didn't mean that they wouldn't be able to attack after Zang Tian became a Lord.
The group passed through the portal and returned to the Blood Scythe Shelter.
However, as soon as they passed through the portal, everyone sensed an abnormality.
The half-step Lord's aura had disappeared. Not only that, but there were no signs of life in Death's Scythe's headquarters.
Lin Huang scanned the area with his divine telekinesis. Everyone in Death's Scythe headquarters was dead!
The expressions of Zang Tian and the few Blood Sickle members turned grim at once. Clearly, they had also discovered the current situation at headquarters.
Zang Tian disappeared in a flash. The next moment, he appeared in the cultivation room on the highest floor of the headquarters office building.
Lin Huang and the rest hurriedly followed him.
Subsequently, Lin Huang saw a middle-aged man sitting quietly on a cattail hassock in the cultivation room. His head was lowered, and there was no sign of life at all.
Lin Huang immediately recognized this man as one of the seven Blood Sickle members — Sun Zhan of the Heavenly Ape Tribe.
According to the information Death's Scythe had divulged, Sun Zhan was a combat cultivator. He was the powerhouse with the strongest physique in Death's Scythe. Of course, this was Zang Tian's ranking before he had elevated to lord-level.
"Old Sun!" the Blood Sickle members could not help exclaiming.
"Don't get too close. Check with Divine Telekinesis to see if anyone left any hidden tricks on him." Lin Huang hurriedly stopped them when he saw that they were about to help the corpse up.
It was not that Zang Tian and the Blood Sickle members had not thought of this; they were just too concerned.
Compared to Zang Tian and the rest, Lin Huang was the least familiar with the deceased. In fact, it was his first time seeing him. Naturally, he was the most vigilant.
When they heard Lin Huang's reminder, they quickly stopped in their tracks and began to use Divine Telekinesis to carefully examine the corpse.
A moment later, after checking that there were no problems, they stepped forward.
"There are no signs of battle, and there are no wounds on Old Sun's body," Gao Ming said after a round of examination, "His God's soul must have been directly destroyed by a lord-level powerhouse."
"It should be the same group of people as the fellow who ambushed Zang Tian," Hu Xian 'er said with some resentment.
"What? Ambushed me?! "Zang Tian was baffled.
"When you were undergoing unification, a lord-level secretly attacked and wanted to destroy your God Territory. However, Xiu Mu stopped him … "Gao Ming briefly described what had happened.
Zang Tian looked at Lin Huang in astonishment.
"You chopped off a lord-level's palm?!"
"I have some special techniques." Lin Huang did not deny it, but he still did not admit that he had such abilities.
When the Blood Sickle members heard this, they were even more convinced that their earlier speculation was correct. Lin Huang must have used a technique left behind by an Almighty.
"Can I see that palm?" Zang Tian asked.
Lin Huang took out the severed palm directly and passed it to Zang Tian.
Zang Tian took the severed palm and probed it with his Divine Telekinesis. After a moment, he grunted and the palm flew out of his hand. As if it had come to life, it dashed toward Hu Xian 'er.
However, right at this moment, Lin Huang extended several Divine Telekinesis threads and entangled the severed palm, then forcefully pulled it back.
"If you dare move again, I'll destroy you!"
Lin Huang unsheathed his battle saber once more. The tip of the saber pierced the back of the palm effortlessly, embedding about half a centimeter deep. The palm began to bleed. However, it seemed to understand Lin Huang's threat and dared not move anymore.
Nearby, Hu Xian 'er was still in a state of shock. She thought she was going to die just like that.
Meanwhile, the rest of them looked at Lin Huang in shock.
At this moment, Zang Tian spat out a mouthful of blood and returned to his senses. He took a good look at Lin Huang and said, "This person's ability is more powerful than mine. Although we're both lesser Lords, he must've consolidated more Dao seals than I did. He must've mastered at least five thousand god sequence chains."
Zang Tian did not ask how Lin Huang had managed to chop off the lord-level's palm.
"You'll be in charge of suppressing this palm for now. We'll look for you in a few days if we need it."
"From the looks of it, Old Sun's death and the attack on me must be related. If I'm not mistaken, it must've been done by the same group of people. That's because it can't be such a coincidence that two things happened at the same time. "Zang Tian did not dwell on the issue of the palm any longer.
"They actually sent two Lords to suppress Death's Scythe. They're really shameless." Xue Wuya narrowed his eyes slightly.
"They might not really be here for Death's Scythe." Lin Huang could not help speaking at this moment. "They might have a personal grudge against Zang Tian, or against Old Sun and the Blood Sickle members present here. Attacking Death's Scythe is just something they did in passing. "
"Or it's also possible that they're targeting a member of Death's Scythe other than you guys …" When Lin Huang said this, he was thinking about the Raiders.
"Of course, I'm just talking about another possibility. It might not be correct," Lin Huang added.
"The possibilities that you've mentioned do exist." Zang Tian was the first to express his agreement.
"My current train of thought is, first of all, we'll look for the Lords who mainly cultivate their God's soul. That's the biggest clue. Secondly, we'll look for the Lords who were recently injured and had their palm severed. His palm that was chopped off by Xiu Mu can't be healed in a short period of time. Thirdly, the Lords who attacked might not be from the God Territory, but from other territories. We can check the entry and exit records of the Lords in the God Territory. Lord-Level powerhouses have to report when they visit other territories … "
Zang Tian quickly proposed his investigation plan.
