“That kid's Physical Body is much stronger than Lang Qi's!?”
In the small courtyard, upon hearing Kamura's words, Tuo Mi was once again shocked, his face filled with disbelief.
He knew very well how strong Lang Qi's Physical Body was, so how could that kid's Physical Body, who hadn't even undergone Bones Transformation, be even stronger than Lang Qi's!?
He felt it was utterly absurd, but Kamura's words forced him to believe this fact.
If that were truly the case, then this child's value was indeed far beyond imagination.
If Kamura could sacrifice him, the gains would be unimaginably great.
At this moment, he finally understood why Kamura's attitude had changed so drastically just now.
“Saint, what do you plan to do?”
After understanding everything, Tuo Mi couldn't help but ask.
“What else can I do? Since the Heavenly Demon God has sent such a unique and precious offering to me, how can I not accept it?”
Kamura's smile gradually became morbid, black Qi swirling in his eyes, carrying an indescribable wickedness.
“But this child is backed by Dark Star, and there's also a Transforming Void Grandmaster expert. If we act rashly, it might cause considerable trouble, and there's also the military side, which also carries risks.”
Tuo Mi frowned slightly, speaking with a hint of hesitation.
After all, Dark Star's future Essence Transformation Grandmaster seed, a Genius of such a level, would be extremely important to any force and could not be lost.
If something happened here, Dark Star would absolutely not let it go easily.
“Risks? Hmph.”
Kamura snorted coldly.
“Nothing is more important than me condensing the Shadow Dharma Body. What are a few risks? I'm determined to have this child; no one can save him.”
Saying this, a chilling aura emanated from him, but it quickly softened a little.
“Originally, I wanted to entice him to leave Dark Star and join my Tianluo Sect, then slowly process him, which would undoubtedly be the safest. I didn't expect him to be so unappreciative, but it doesn't matter.”
“Tuo Mi Protector, don't forget this is the front line. It's normal to encounter dangers. As long as we're clean about it and there's no evidence, even if Dark Star suspects, what can they do? Do they dare to act against my Tianluo Sect?”
At this point, Kamura paused, then continued with a sneer.
“As for the military side, there will be even less of a problem. Even if they have suspicions, now that the Northern Yan army is pressing, it's a time when my Tianluo Sect's strength is needed, so there will be no trouble.”
Hearing Kamura's words, Tuo Mi's furrowed brows relaxed considerably.
He clearly understood that Kamura's words indeed made sense, but he still felt a little uneasy.
“It's just, Saint, after all, that kid is backed by a Transforming Void Grandmaster. According to the Saint, this kid's Physical Body is incredibly strong, indicating his extraordinary talent and Bloodline. Otherwise, that Transforming Void Grandmaster, who has never taken a Disciple, wouldn't have exceptionally taken him as his only Disciple. He must value this child greatly. If something happens, he probably won't let it go easily. This point must be guarded against.”
A Transforming Void Grandmaster, such an expert, was basically the most top-tier existence, apart from the two undisputed Supreme Grandmasters.
“Transforming Void Grandmaster…” Kamura's eyes narrowed slightly.
He naturally understood the weight of a Transforming Void Grandmaster perfectly well.
But soon, he snorted coldly, a mocking smile appearing on his face.
“That Li Shenjun is indeed a Transforming Void Grandmaster, but Tuo Mi Protector, don't forget, the intelligence about this Grandmaster clearly states that this Grandmaster expert's cultivation went awry decades ago, causing him to become mentally unstable. As a result, within Dark Star, he basically just holds the title of a Dark Star Envoy.”
“Just a madman, so what if he's a Transforming Void Grandmaster? Even if he truly comes knocking, would my Tianluo Sect fear him? At worst, I'll have Master act and repel this madman. In any case, I will absolutely not let go of this excellent offering.”
Hearing this, Tuo Mi Protector understood Kamura's determination and immediately nodded.
“Good, this child is indeed the Heavenly Demon God's grace to my Divine Sect. Since that's the case, then naturally there's no reason to let him go.”
Saying this, he paused and said seriously.
“However, Saint, among the three accompanying this child, the one named Shui Zhi has considerable cultivation. Even this old man is not confident in taking him down. As for the other two, although they are not as strong as Shui Zhi, they are also at the Divine Form Middle Stage. We haven't brought many experts this time, so acting rashly might not allow us to keep all of them.”
Kamura naturally understood this point. After all, on this trip, besides him, there was only Tuo Mi Protector, a Protector at the Divine Form Late Stage. It would indeed be somewhat risky to take on all these people.
“Don't worry, Tuo Mi Protector, their journey is long. It will take at least ten days to half a month to leave the Northern Land. I have already left a mark on them. Now, contact the Sect immediately and have one Protector, no, two Protectors come. By then, these people will have no escape.”
Kamura's lips curled up, revealing a determined smile.
It was as if he had already seen Lin Sheng standing before him, waiting to be used as an offering, to be torn apart and devoured bit by bit, while his own Shadow Dharma Body would be successfully condensed, displaying the formidable power of a Dharma Body.
He would become the youngest Shadow Dharma Body condenser in the history of the Divine Sect.
Suddenly, the illusion before him shattered. Soon, a bewildered expression appeared on Kamura's face because he found that Lin Sheng's phantom still existed on the ground of the small courtyard, staring fixedly at him.
“What's going on?”
Kamura frowned slightly, thinking he was still in his previous fantasy.
But he quickly realized something was wrong. The figure emerging from the ground at this moment exuded a powerful Qi and Blood vitality fluctuation. How could it be a phantom? Especially the mark he had left on him was now clearly indicating that what was before him was not an illusion, but a real person.
“Ghost… Ghost-faced brother?”
Seeing this, Kamura's face was a sight, as if he had seen a ghost.
“Ghost-face! How are you here!?”
And Tuo Mi's expression next to him was similar.
Neither of them expected Lin Sheng to emerge from the ground at this moment.
At this moment, the small courtyard gate was tightly closed, and only the three of them were in the courtyard, staring at each other.
“Young Master Kamura, didn't I say we'd meet again?”
Lin Sheng stretched his neck, calmly looking at the two.
“Since Your Highness is so enthusiastic about me, I, Lin, also happen to have something I want to give to both of you.”
“Ghost-faced brother, what nonsense are you talking about… What do you want to give us!?”
Kamura and the other man asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Of course, it's to send you on your way.”
Lin Sheng spoke softly, and in the next moment, his figure swelled up as if inflated. Instantly, a massive giant over six meters tall appeared before Kamura and the other man, exuding a terrifying aura that made people's hearts palpitate.
In their extremely horrified gazes, Lin Sheng instantly disappeared from sight.
“Not good, Saint, be careful!!”
Seeing this, Tuo Mi felt a bad premonition rise, and alarm bells rang in his heart, as if he were facing a terrifying, crazed, bloodthirsty Yao Beast.
Compared to Tuo Mi, Kamura's feeling was more acute. At this moment, his heart was filled with horror, and his face was full of both shock and anger.
Neither of them hesitated, and the powerful aura belonging to the Divine Form Realm was unleashed without reservation.
“Tianluo Divine Palm!”
As an expert at the Divine Form Late Stage, Tuo Mi's body surged with internal energy. A gigantic black palm emerged from above his head and slammed down towards the massive figure rapidly approaching from the side.
“Ethereal Light Flotation!”
Although Kamura had just entered the Divine Form, his Bloodline talent was outstanding, and his strength was considerably stronger than that of an ordinary Divine Form Middle Stage Martial Artist.
At this moment, he also unreservedly activated a secret technique. A huge ghost lotus emitting black light condensed out of thin air in front of him, and together with the black large hand, one on the left and one on the right, they crashed towards the rapidly approaching figure.
“Tuo Mi Protector, since this kid has delivered himself to us, don't hold back. Kill him directly. Just preserve the corpse.”
Kamura spoke coldly. At this moment, he had recovered from his previous shock. As the Saint of the Tianluo Sect, his mental fortitude was naturally extremely resilient. He was only surprised because it was too sudden. Now that he had calmed down and saw that the opponent had come alone, he was not surprised but rather delighted.
There was no need to wait for reinforcements; he could just take him down directly.
“Good!”
Tuo Mi had also calmed down at this moment. Although he was startled by the huge change in the child before him, he did not believe that the opponent could cross multiple major Realms and compare with him.
“Die for me, kid…”
Tuo Mi grinned ferociously. The gigantic black palm print, under the continuous enhancement of internal energy, became increasingly powerful and heavy.
It was as if he had already seen the bloody scene of that massive, human-like, demon-like figure's Physical Body shattering under his palm.
Bang——
Soon, the black giant hand and the lotus collided with the massive figure.
At the same time, the smile on Tuo Mi's face froze because, in his line of sight, the black large hand and the lotus shattered the moment they collided with him.
They were as fragile as bubbles hitting a hard stone pillar, vanishing in an instant.
“How is that possible!?”
Seeing this, Tuo Mi and Kamura's pupils simultaneously constricted.
Their hearts were once again filled with horror.
An inexplicable fear emerged from their hearts.
“Not good, this child is not right. Saint, hurry! I'll block…”
Tuo Mi reacted and immediately shouted.
However, his words were only halfway out, and Kamura hadn't even made any moves.
Tuo Mi's voice abruptly stopped.
A crisp shattering sound came from beside him.
Kamura's heart instantly skipped a beat, and large amounts of fresh blood and shattered flesh splattered around him.
A chilling coldness surged from the soles of his feet, rushing straight to the top of his head.
He stiffly turned his head bit by bit to look beside him. The scene before him made his eyes widen to the extreme.
Lin Sheng's massive figure stood in Tuo Mi's original position. As for Tuo Mi's figure, it had disappeared, and a dense blood mist, not yet settled, still lingered in the air.
The pungent smell of blood frantically rushed into his nostrils. This thing, which he usually found incredibly delicious, now made him shiver all over.
“Ghost…”
He forced out a stiff and ugly smile, wanting to say something.
But he was directly grabbed by a large hand that squeezed his head and lifted him up.
He just wanted to struggle…
Pop, a bloody fireworks display had already bloomed in the courtyard.
The headless body in Lin Sheng's hand shattered with a slight squeeze.
Clang——
The white jade skull fell to the ground with a crisp sound, then was crushed into powder by a gigantic foot.
Lin Sheng bent down, picked up a small black crystal bottle from the blood and flesh remnants on the ground, and then disappeared from the courtyard.
A few minutes later, a knock on the door sounded from outside the courtyard, and then the tightly closed courtyard door was pushed open.
Several black-clothed envoys from the Tianluo Sect rushed in. However, upon seeing the ground covered in blood and flesh remnants, their eyes widened, and their expressions changed dramatically, then they hurried away.

Creak… creak…
On the dirt road, wheels rolled, and the carriage sped past, kicking up large clouds of dust.
A crescent moon hung high in the sky, casting dim moonlight.
In the dense forests on both sides, strange bird calls occasionally echoed.
Shui Zhi, Bai Can, and Jin Yang walked at the front of the team, all with indignant expressions.
“These scumbags from the Tianluo Sect, they're truly not human. I spit on their damn Saint…”
Bai Can couldn't help but curse.
They had already traveled dozens of miles since leaving the rendezvous point.
Bai Can, who had the most volatile temper, kept cursing along the way.
Clearly, he was genuinely angered at the rendezvous point earlier.
“And they even took off the skull of their most beloved wife and concubine to make a zither, and it's a harmonica! Absolutely disgusting…”
“After we go back, I must tell Lord Luo Yin all of this exactly as it happened. If Southern Qi is full of such lunatics, we absolutely cannot talk about cooperation with them…”
Amidst Bai Can's curses, the convoy quickly moved away.
At the very end of the convoy at this moment.
Nong Yu was driving the carriage. In the long-silent carriage, Lin Sheng's voice suddenly sounded.
“Nong Yu, go to the carriage ahead. I need to go into seclusion for cultivation.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Nong Yu immediately flew away and landed on the carriage in front.
Because the red crystal stone had already been put down, at this time, only five carriages containing food and other necessities remained in the convoy.
Traveling light, their speed was much faster than before.
Inside the carriage, Lin Sheng sat cross-legged, holding two small bottles in his hands: a jade bottle emitting a faint glow and a translucent black crystal bottle.
Both bottles emitted unusual auras that gradually invigorated one's Qi, Blood, and mind.
“Heavenly Gifted Spiritual Spring, Tianluo Divine Drink… Tsk tsk, they truly are good things.”
Looking at the two small bottles, Lin Sheng smiled and murmured softly.
Especially the Tianluo Divine Drink in this black small bottle, which could have a quite significant effect on the spirit, was undoubtedly extraordinarily effective for him now.
As for why he acted against Kamura and the others.
It was simple: he felt an almost tangible malicious intent from them.
Originally, he had no such intention, but it was very unfortunate that from the moment he touched that white jade skull, the malicious intent from the other party instantly surged to a terrifying level.
Although he didn't know the exact reason, he was too lazy to think further.
Such concentrated malicious intent would clearly bring him considerable trouble, especially since this was the front line.
And he hated trouble, so he turned back, directly killed them, and took the Tianluo Divine Drink with him.
