Jiang Tao and the others stared at Qing Ye and the others with unsightly expressions, a hint of anger in their eyes.
Go find the Sword Saint? Does Jiang Tao have hundreds of lives? Daring to seek death like that? Forget about going to see him in person, he wouldn't even dare to argue back a couple of words. Jiang Tao was truly scared out of his wits by Lin Xuan.
"Hmph, so, you Dao Sect people, only know how to be glib."
"Is that so? It seems, you want to make a move?"
Qing Ye sneered, crossing his hands and starting to stretch, the other Dao Sect disciples also revealed smiles, surrounding Jiang Tao and the others.
Otherworldly Demon City does not prohibit fighting, of course, being a city, there are still some default unspoken rules, not to go too far.
However, Yuan Gate and Dao Sect are mortal enemies, so there is no such thing as going too far. Even if Lin Dong, Qing Ye and the others killed Jiang Tao and the other two, Yuan Gate would have nothing to say.
Seeing this, Jiang Tao's face instantly sank, he did not expect that Qing Ye, who always wanted to hide when he saw them from Yuan Gate, would dare to be so tough.
It can only be said that most of the Yuan Gate disciples are still living in the past, living under the halo of Yuan Gate being the overlord of the Eastern Xuan Region, completely forgetting that not long ago, the entire Yuan Gate was blocked by one person.
Of course, Jiang Tao is not a fool, seeing that Qing Ye and the others seemed to be planning to besiege, he did not hesitate, and directly crushed a Signal Jade Slip. Instantly, a special light shot out towards the sky, illuminating the entire Otherworldly Demon City.
"Tsk tsk, what's wrong, aren't you Yuan Gate disciples always arrogant? Why haven't you even started yet, and you're already calling for people?"
Dao Sect and Yuan Gate have been at odds for many years, Qing Ye has also suffered a lot of bullying from Yuan Gate disciples, especially the Eight Spirit Generals of Yuan Gate, now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to return them one by one.
While mocking with his mouth, Qing Ye's hands were not idle, he also took out a Signal Jade Slip, and after crushing it, shot the signal into the sky.
Treasure Hunting Zone, as the most popular place in Otherworldly Demon City, after the major super sects arrived one after another, many disciples of the super sects came here as soon as possible, some simply wanted to see the world, and some came with the intention of picking up bargains.
In short, after seeing the signals from Yuan Gate and Dao Sect, not only the disciples of Yuan Gate and Dao Sect nearby rushed here as soon as possible, but even the disciples of the other major super sects also approached here.
"[Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!]"
After the two Signal Jade Slips were sent out, the sound of breaking wind continued to sound, and rays of light swept from all around towards this place. Soon, behind Jiang Tao and the others, a lot of Yuan Gate disciples gathered.
Behind Lin Dong, Qing Ye and the others, although there were few Dao Sect disciples, but with Lin Dong and others, they did not fall into a disadvantage.
Treasure Hunting Zone, in a teahouse, in an elegant room on the top floor.
"[Chirp! Bang!]"
Withdrawing his gaze from the signal in the sky, Lin Xuan, standing in front of the window, held a teacup in one hand and the other behind his back, looking towards the open space not far away.
With the arrival of the Dao Sect and Yuan Gate disciples, the other onlookers also tacitly gave up the open space, giving the two super sects room.
Looking at the Dao Sect disciples who were unwilling to come, Lin Xuan's eyes were very indifferent, he only glanced at them twice, and then moved his gaze away.
"Aren't you going to take a look?"
Ling Qingzhu came to Lin Xuan's side with a small jade pot, gently pouring half a cup of hot tea into the empty teacup, and said softly. At the same time, there was also an amazing chill coming from Ling Qingzhu's mouth.
After these chills were transmitted, the temperature of the entire pavilion suddenly dropped, but it was well confined within this pavilion, and no one outside could detect any abnormality.
"It seems that your control over the Ice Ancestor Symbol is getting stronger and stronger."
Lin Xuan did not answer Ling Qingzhu's question, but changed the subject and said, as he spoke, Lin Xuan also walked away from the window and landed beside the tea table in the middle of the pavilion, glancing at Ying Huanhuan out of the corner of his eye.
From Ling Qingzhu's control over the Ice Ancestor Symbol, Lin Xuan could perceive that Ying Huanhuan's degree of awakening was definitely very high, and Ling Qingzhu had also received a lot of help, otherwise, relying on Ling Qingzhu alone, it would be impossible to do such a degree so quickly.
"Lin Xuan, aren't you afraid that Lin Dong and the others won't be able to beat the people from Yuan Gate?"
Ying Huanhuan, however, seemed completely oblivious to Lin Xuan's gaze, smiling as she looked at Lin Xuan and softly responded.
With Ying Huanhuan's keen perception, how could she not see that within the bodies of Jiang Tao and the others, there was a not-insignificant Otherworldly Demonic Qi lurking, indicating that the Yuan Gate had completely fallen, without a trace of doubt.
In addition to this, Jiang Tao's strength had also increased considerably, now having reached the Half-Step Life Profound Realm. Although Lin Dong could cope, it wouldn't be easy, and moreover, the Yuan Gate had other reinforcements.
"You shouldn't ask me about this."
Lin Xuan held his teacup and took a light sip, then, like an outsider, he softly spoke.
Ying Xiaoxiao, who had been silent all along, put down her teacup at this moment, then pushed open the door of the pavilion and walked outside.
In fact, Ying Xiaoxiao originally didn't want to interfere in this matter, but among the crowd, there was a rather powerful aura, which was somewhat troublesome for the current Lin Dong, Qing Ye, and the others.
Although Ying Xiaoxiao's temperament was now indifferent, she wouldn't just stand by and watch Lin Dong and other Dao Sect disciples be humiliated, thereby damaging the reputation of Dao Sect.
Her temperament was indifferent, simply unwilling to haggle over trifles; some things were more casual, rather than knowing she could act but not doing so.
Ying Huanhuan looked at her sister Ying Xiaoxiao's departing figure, then rolled her eyes at Lin Xuan beside her and softly said.
"You, you just know how to bully my sister."
Lin Xuan held his teacup, took another light sip, without explaining or arguing, but his gaze was somewhat lost as he drank his tea.
Because just now, Lin Xuan vaguely sensed a special aura, an aura that was definitely not familiar to Lin Xuan before, but it was mixed with a trace of the evil aura of the Otherworldly Demon.
Obviously, the Yuan Gate had clearly deployed Revolving Wheel Realm-level combat power in the Otherworldly Demon City, and perhaps even this conflict with Lin Dong and the others was a kind of test, testing what? Naturally, it was the true strength of Lin Xuan and the others.
Standing by the window, Ling Qingzhu's clear, cold eyes stared at a figure in the crowd, her pupils slightly constricted, then she said in a low voice.
"It seems that the Yuan Gate's ambitions are not small this time!"
Ling Qingzhu was obviously somewhat surprised by the Yuan Gate's actions; judging from this posture, the Yuan Gate seemed to be planning to go all out this time.
"The Sect Tournament is held every four years; at other times, it is difficult for the Yuan Gate to send a large number of disciples into the Otherworldly Demon Domain, so the Yuan Gate will naturally not miss this Sect Tournament."
Lin Xuan placed the teacup in his hand on the table, and said in a calm tone. Ying Huanhuan, who was sitting opposite him, also put away her joking expression at this time, and nodded in agreement.
"Now that the Demon Prison has begun to move, the Yuan Gate naturally has no time to wait any longer. The next four years, I'm afraid the war will have already begun. At that time, even if the Yuan Gate still exists, it will have to withdraw from the Eastern Xuan Region. This Sect Tournament can be said to be the Yuan Gate's last chance."
The reason for not dealing with the Yuan Gate now is to worry that, after the Yuan Gate is completely exposed, it will not start a war with the super sects of Dao Sect at all, but will frantically slaughter the creatures of the Eastern Xuan Region.
Attacking a city still requires leaving one side open, just to avoid directly forcing the opponent into a dead end.
If, at this time, Dao Sect completely exposed the Yuan Gate's affairs, the Yuan Gate would have no way to go, and could only choose to fight to the death.
In that case, Lin Xuan and Dao Sect could certainly remove the Yuan Gate from the entire Eastern Xuan Region, but the losses they suffered would definitely be immeasurable.
A force like the Yuan Gate, in the case of not being able to directly suppress it strongly, forcing the other party to a dead end, forcing the Yuan Gate to fight back before death, the consequences would definitely be very serious.
But now it is different. Has the Yuan Gate's identity been exposed? It has been exposed, but not really.
Exposed, refers to the fact that the top powerhouses of the entire Eastern Xuan Region know that the Yuan Gate has problems, so most of the powerhouses are biased towards Dao Sect.
And not exposed, refers to the current situation, the Yuan Gate is not an enemy of the world, they can still openly operate in the Eastern Xuan Region, but it is easy to be targeted overtly and covertly.
In this case, the Three Great Sect Leaders of the Yuan Gate are not fools, they would choose to seek death themselves, they must pretend that this did not happen, and then carry out their plans, complete their unfinished plans.
To put it bluntly, it is still to limit the struggle to the Yuan Gate and Dao Sect, and other super sects. Whoever wins can have the final say.
Yuan Gate was forced into this situation, but at the same time, they have the opportunity to seek a glimmer of hope. For example, if they can defeat Lin Xuan and Dao Sect's methods, and at the same time, release one or two powerful Otherworldly Demons from the Otherworldly Demon Domain, then Yuan Gate will gain the advantage and can hold on, waiting for the Demon Prison's orders, and then safely retreat back to the Demon Prison, preserving their lives.
As for Lin Xuan, it's even simpler. He is completely confident that these arrangements are absolutely within his control. Yuan Gate cannot make waves in the Eastern Xuan Region.
In Lin Xuan's eyes, Yuan Gate is like a big fish that has already bitten the hook with bait. Right now, Yuan Gate can still swim freely in the water because the hook hasn't completely caught its bone.
Once Yuan Gate completely swallows the bait and the hook is thoroughly set, Lin Xuan will pull the line, and Yuan Gate, once ashore, won't even have a chance to struggle.
To put it bluntly, Lin Xuan can't eliminate Yuan Gate right now, but he can use various baits to gradually cut away Yuan Gate's power.
For example, in the current Sect Tournament, Yuan Gate will inevitably enter and must have a major plan. Executing the plan requires manpower. If Lin Xuan destroys this plan and buries all these Yuan Gate disciples, then Yuan Gate will not only fail in its plan but also lose a large number of reserve experts.
"They have no chance anymore."
Lin Xuan said calmly, his tone mixed with an unquestionable coldness, causing Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan to exchange glances, and then both shook their heads.
Treasure Hunting Zone, that open space surrounded by crowds.
In just the time it takes to drink a teacup, both sides have gathered a large number of disciples. The Sect Tournament hasn't even started yet, and it seems that Dao Sect intends to have a fight with Yuan Gate first.
Looking at the hundreds of figures on both sides, many onlookers were secretly amazed. As expected of super sects, and the two most powerful sects among the super sects, not only are they numerous, but their strength is also so powerful.
"[Whoosh!]"
Another sound of wind breaking came, and then, a gray-robed figure landed beside Lin Dong and the others.
Lin Dong smiled and nodded at Wang Yan, who had arrived quickly. After a brief greeting, before Wang Yan could speak, he took the initiative to say.
"Senior Brother Wang Yan, that Jiang Tao seemed to be deliberately looking for Qing Ye's trouble, and then it escalated."
"It's okay, if they dare to cause trouble, then just beat them up!"
Wang Yan said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with a few traces of cold killing intent. He had never forgotten that his sister had died at the hands of that group of Yuan Gate beasts.
However, just as Wang Yan's voice fell, a loud laugh came, and then, a figure wrapped in lightning quickly flew from a distance, eventually landing in front of the many Yuan Gate disciples.
"Haha, Wang Yan, your tone as a defeated opponent is getting bigger and bigger. What's wrong? You wouldn't think that you have the strength to fight me just because I let you escape last time, would you?"
After the figure landed, the lightning on his body gradually dissipated, revealing a rampant face. Wang Yan's face gradually darkened, and then he coldly snorted and said.
"Lei Qian, you were lucky enough to win by one move last time, it seems that your confidence has completely inflated!"
The previous Wang Yan might have been more worried, but the current Wang Yan is no longer the Wang Yan who was fighting alone outside.
After returning to Dao Sect, with many resources, Wang Yan is now also at the Half-Step Life Profound Realm, at least, completely the same as the strength that Lei Qian shows on the surface.
"Lei Qian?"
Lin Dong frowned slightly upon hearing this, and then, a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
Because, just now, Yan told Lin Dong that Lei Qian's strength is not as simple as the Half-Step Life Profound Realm he appears to be on the surface. He has also hidden his strength.
If it was just the Half-Step Life Profound Realm, Lin Dong would be relatively confident, but if the opponent is a true Life Profound Realm expert, then Lin Dong would not dare to say that he could steadily defeat the opponent, especially since Lei Qian also has the means of the Otherworldly Demons.
After hearing Wang Yan's words, Lei Qian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because, in his impression, Wang Yan had never dared to talk to him like this, because, the gap between the strengths of the two had always been relatively large.
However, soon, Lei Qian's eyes narrowed, feeling the steady aura of the Half-Step Life Profound Realm on Wang Yan's body, his eyes also became a bit sharper.
"Half-Step Life Profound Realm, no wonder you have the confidence to dare to challenge me!"
