Needless to say, that powerful aura belonged to the Black Wind Cave Master.
Based on his aura alone, the man was a true Rank 5. Even Lin Jin had to treat him seriously. Hence, at a crucial moment like this, he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Forced by Lin Jin's intimidating aura, some of the flag bearers pondered for a moment before swallowing the monster sealing pill. Some of them looked conflicted and hesitant. Perhaps sensing the Black Wind Cave Master's aura, they looked excited and wanted to stall for time.
But Lin Jin wasn't about to give them the chance.
Indeed, he was rather lenient towards most demon cultivators, but it wasn't that he didn't care about the situation.
Just like now. Since Lin Jin had spoken and the other party refused to listen, they had no choice but to face the consequences.
Lin Jin showed no mercy to the monsters who refused to swallow the pill. Just like he said, if they ate the pill, everything would be fine. If they didn't, he would kill them on the spot.
Lin Jin attacked.
The Lightning Fire Needle in his hand shot out like a bolt of lightning. Before a Demonic Beast could react, the Lightning Fire Needle pierced through its head, causing it to bleed profusely and die.
For real, Lin Jin wouldn't hesitate.
These monsters were only Rank 4. When they saw Lin Jin taking action, they scattered in all directions. Some of them ran back into Black Wind Cave, screaming for their cave master to save them.
Lin Jin immediately released Xiao Huo. With the two-pronged attack, it only took a few breaths for the defiant monsters to be slaughtered.
After all, they were still a far cry from the rank five Fire Wolf Beast.
Seeing the terrifying Rank 5 Fire Wolf, the beasts that chose to swallow the Demon Sealing Pill all rejoiced.
Now that the small threat had been dealt with, Lin Jin was now waiting for Black Wind Cave's master to come out. Depending on the situation, he would subdue it if he could, but if he couldn't, Lin Jin would just eliminate it.
At this time, the ground began to shake, especially the Black Wind Tunnel.
"The Black Wind Cave Master is coming out." Huang Qi mustered up his courage and reminded him from behind.
It wasn't just Huang Qi, even the Yin Wind Division's leader wore a fearful expression. Even the Breezy Bewitching Sword that Lin Jin had subdued was vibrating slightly at Lin Jin's waist.
Lin Jin knew that to be able to command so many monsters in Black Wind Cave, the cave master must be someone extraordinary.
But no matter what, Lin Jin had to get rid of him today.
He had no choice but to do it.
Even if Lin Jin was willing, Black Wind Cave probably wouldn't agree to it.
Rumble!
A strong gust of wind blew out of Dark Wind Cavern. Lin Jin frowned.
Everything else aside, just this Wind Manipulation alone was a masterpiece. Just from this alone, one could tell that this Black Wind Cave Master was extraordinary. This was why Lin Jin had to be on his guard.
Hu hu!
Within the Black Wind Cave, gusts of black wind howled out, forming a whirlwind. The whirlwind gradually expanded, but the force of the wind did not diminish in the slightest. From afar, at least a hundred feet of sand and stones were flying as the wind raged.
At this time, a tall figure gradually appeared from the black wind.
"Cave Master is here!" Huang Qi's voice was already extremely soft. It was obvious that it was extremely afraid of the Black Wind Cave Master.
Lin Jin took a closer look as well, trying to figure out who this Black Wind Cave Master was.
In the next moment, a voice came from the figure.
"Your methods are extraordinary, but I, the Cave Master, do not recognize you. In that case, we have no enmity between us. Even if there is, we should talk about it first. You came straight up and attacked so viciously, slaughtering the demonic cultivators in my cave and forcing them to submit. May I know the reason?"
The voice was deep and thick. There was no fluster or exasperation. Instead, there was restraint and rationality.
This was different from the monsters Lin Jin was familiar with.
Most monsters were impulsive by nature. They would start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
If the other party had scolded or attacked him right away, Lin Jin would have been able to deal with them easily. But since the other party questioned him first, Lin Jin was caught off guard.
After all, strictly speaking, Lin Jin was the one who started the fight.
However, this wasn't a problem for Lin Jin.
"In Liangzhou, humanity is on the decline. Your Black Wind Cave has taken advantage of the situation to rise up, but now, you feed humans like livestock. Take Ox Village, fifty miles away for example. Initially, there were at least a hundred people in the village, but now, less than half of that number remains. You feed on one person every month, and one place spies on a hundred villages. The number of innocent civilians who have died in your hands must number in the tens of thousands. As a human cultivator, how could I just sit back and watch?"
Lin Jin tossed out a reason.
Moreover, it was a valid reason. He was enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens. This was something that could be justified no matter what.
The Black Wind Cave Lord sneered before revealing himself.
He was a tall man with a short beard and long hair. His facial features were resolute. Although he looked no different from a human, upon closer inspection, one could see that his face was shaped like a ferocious tiger. His eyes were also filled with anger and ferocity.
"What a joke. There are so many human countries in each province that eat and kill. There are more than ten million of them. They are still living beings. Why don't you mention it? "the Black Wind Cave Lord asked with a dark expression.
Lin Jin didn't know how to answer this question.
"Humans are the spiritual leaders. That's all there is to it!"
Although it was only four words, his attitude was clear enough.
The Black Wind Cave Lord was enraged. Black wind surged around his body and his body expanded. In the blink of an eye, he became half human and half beast. He was more than thirty feet tall and his fingers were like tiger claws. They were long and curved, incomparably sharp.
His aura had exceeded Lin Jin's estimation. At least, he wasn't any weaker than Xiao Huo. He might even be stronger.
Seeing that the Black Wind Cave Lord was about to make a move, Lin Jin observed him carefully. An idea came to him and he suddenly said, "Lu Shoufeng, Lord Daoist said that although you're wild, you're well-mannered and respectful. You're also his favorite disciple among the Six Paths' beasts. But to think that you're so unbearable. You've gathered monsters to commit evil and wreak havoc in the world. Did Lord Daoist teach you this?"
His last few words were laced with reprimand.
As if struck by lightning, the Black Wind Cave Lord who was about to pounce on Lin Jin trembled. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
"You, you … how do you know my real name? Who are you?" The Black Wind Cave Lord's voice trembled as he sized up Lin Jin, trying to figure out who he was.
Lin Jin mused, 'It's done.'
From the moment the Black Wind Cave Lord appeared, Lin Jin felt that he was extremely similar to Taoist Hu, one of the Six Paths' beasts described in Lord Daoist's Heavenly Scroll.
Coupled with the Black Wind Cave Lord's terrifying cultivation and aura, Lin Jin came up with this guess. He was just testing the waters with his words but to think he was right.
This Black Wind Cave Lord was actually Taoist Hu.
With this, other than Taoist Crane, whose fate was unknown, the other five basically knew what was going on.
Taoist Insect had died in Lin Jin's hands. Taoist Corpse and Taoist Ghost had become archenemies. Taoist Dragon had fallen and his pet beast, the five-clawed golden dragon, had been refined into a terrifying zombie dragon by Taoist Corpse.
And now, he met Taoist Hu in Liangzhou.
Admittedly, Lin Jin and that Taoist Lord were truly fated.
