Blood splattered everywhere, and Luo Lie and the others still hadn't reacted until they felt the warm blood on their faces.
It wasn't until Lin Sheng's massive figure landed on the ground, and the pressure emanating from him enveloped everyone, that they finally came to their senses.
"Hong Yao Liu Yu... is... dead!!!"
Yi Ye Qing's eyes were wide open, looking at the blood splattered around him, feeling as if he were dreaming.
Hong Yao Liu Yu had been a famous Grandmaster expert for many years. Although her strength was not as great as Three-Eyed Rakshasa Xiang Kong, she was still a top expert among One Realm Grandmasters.
It should be known that even under the current tense situation in Northern Yan, there had not yet been a single Grandmaster-level casualty.
But now, it had actually happened right before their eyes.
Luo Lie, Yuan Fang, and the others beside them also reacted at this moment.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed what had just happened. Originally, when they saw a Grandmaster expert following them, they felt more or less despair.
After all, Grandmaster-level experts were far from comparable to Divine Transformation Realm Martial Artists. But they never expected that a Grandmaster, who in their eyes was like an unapproachable towering mountain, would die so fragilely in front of them, and in such a tragic manner.
"Let's go, continue on our way. With a Grandmaster dying here, Northern Yan should quickly become aware of it."
Lin Sheng's calm voice rang out.
Everyone then woke up, looking at Lin Sheng, who had returned to his normal size, and all swallowed a mouthful of saliva before quickly returning to the carriage and immediately continuing on their journey.
On the lead carriage.
"Lin... Lin Sheng, how could he be so strong? Is... is this even human!?
As soon as they entered the carriage, Gong Wei couldn't help but speak.
"Junior Brother, watch your words!"
Yuan Fang, who was beside him, quickly shouted in a deep voice.
"This..."
Gong Wei immediately reacted, and a cold sweat broke out on his body.
How could someone who could even detect Hong Yao Liu Yu not notice their words?
That was a powerful individual who could kill even a Grandmaster with a single palm. Thinking of this, Gong Wei quickly shut his mouth and said no more.
Seeing this, Yuan Fang then said with a face full of emotion.
"I never expected Brother Lin to be so deeply hidden. Such talent, even the Personal Disciples of the two Vice Pavilion Masters are far inferior, aren't they?"
He was indeed extremely emotional. Originally, when he was in Fulong City, he knew that the other party was the Disciple of that Divine Lord who had problems with his cultivation, and he didn't feel that the other party could be that special.
After all, although a Divine Lord was strong, his sanity was sometimes good and sometimes bad. How special could a Disciple taken under such circumstances be?
But now it seemed that this Disciple of the Divine Lord had clearly far exceeded their imagination and could already be described as a monster.
Luo Lie was equally shocked. If he could barely accept Lin Sheng's methods of killing those Northern Yan Martial Artists before, the scene of tearing a Grandmaster apart with his bare hands just now was difficult to digest for a long time.
He thought of his initial idea of wanting to spar with the other party to seek a Breakthrough in his Realm.
He felt it was so ridiculous in his heart.
Just as Luo Lie and the others were all in a complex mood.
In the middle carriage, Lin Sheng sat cross-legged.
He didn't care what Luo Lie and the others thought.
Now, he no longer needed to be as secretive as before.
Grandmaster experts of the caliber of Liu Yu and Lu Qing, as long as they were affected by his mental Mystic Skill, could be easily killed with a single palm.
The Grandmaster Qi, which was difficult for even Peak Divine Form Realm Martial Artists to shake in the slightest, was as fragile as paper in front of him.
Even a Two Realm Grandmaster might not fare much better.
If the Dragon's might previously had little effect on Grandmaster-level experts.
Then the Foul Language talent had undoubtedly made up for this point.
Just a moment was enough to end the battle.
Shaking his head slightly, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart and began to refine the Vatican Red Fire Bull.
After killing Liu Yu, their journey was unimpeded, and they did not encounter any further obstacles.
Their speed also increased significantly, and in just three days, they successfully arrived at Bai Lu City.
After handing over the group to Shui Zhi and the others, Lin Sheng also received a somewhat unexpected piece of news.
Bi Haitian, the Sect Master of Sea King Sect, and Grand Elder Xu Changping, had been killed for colluding with Northern Yan.
The one who took action was none other than Tang Zhong, the Military God of Southern Qi.
With the death of its top combatants, the Sea King Sect was now defunct in all but name.
The only remaining Grandmaster expert in the Sect was captured by experts from the Eastern Continent Military Department.
As for the Sea King Sect's territory and interests, they would be handled by the Snow Wolf Tribe and several other major forces in Southern Qi.
The Military Department and the Imperial Family did not participate.
This was clearly the result of negotiations between various parties.
"This Senior Military God is quite decisive in his actions."
Lin Sheng couldn't help but sigh.
He didn't need to think to know that the cause of this matter must have been his letter.
However, he didn't expect that Tang Zhong would directly take action.
And eradicate a top force like the Sea King Sect.
A Supreme Grandmaster was indeed far beyond ordinary Grandmasters.
After some thought, Lin Sheng still decided to go to Jushi City to meet this Military God.
Bai Lu City was not far from Jushi City, and at his speed, he arrived in Jushi City in just a few hours.
Passing through Jushi City, he arrived at the military camp.
With the seal in hand, he was not stopped at all and went directly to see Huyan Ji.
"Lin Sheng, you came even faster than I expected."
Huyan Ji seemed unsurprised to see Lin Sheng appear in the military camp.
"How is it? Have those red crystal stones already been sent over!?
"Reporting to General, they have already arrived in Bai Lu City, but it should take a few more days to send them over."
Lin Sheng cupped his hands and replied.
"A few days? That's fine, as long as they can be sent over."
Huyan Ji nodded, then looked at Lin Sheng.
"You came this time to see Senior Brother? Did you hear about the Sea King Sect?"
"Indeed."
Lin Sheng did not deny it, nodding in acknowledgment.
"Let's go, Senior Brother has already sent word. If you come, he wants me to take you directly to see him."
Huyan Ji grinned.
Lin Sheng was stunned. He hadn't expected that this Great Grandmaster seemed to know he was coming.
But he quickly followed Huyan Ji to the back of the military camp.
In the same ordinary tent as last time.
Upon entering the tent, a fresh scent of tea wafted into his nostrils, making him feel an indescribable clarity of mind.
Clearly, this Great Grandmaster was brewing tea again.
It seemed he was quite fond of brewing tea.
This thought flashed through Lin Sheng's mind.
"Senior Brother, I've brought this kid to you."
Huyan Ji cupped his hands towards the thin man who was focused on brewing tea in the tent, then turned and left, leaving only Lin Sheng.
"Junior Lin Sheng, greets Senior Tang Zhong."
Lin Sheng immediately cupped his hands in a respectful salute.
However, he received no response, as the latter remained immersed in brewing tea.
Lin Sheng looked up and saw that his movements were gentle, yet carried a mysterious feeling.
Although it was just ordinary tea brewing, it had a certain ineffable charm.
Making one's gaze involuntarily immerse in it.
Suddenly, Lin Sheng's heart trembled, and he broke free from that strange atmosphere.
At this moment, the tea on the table was boiling, clearly having finished brewing.
"To be able to break free from my charm so quickly, it seems your trip to the East Sea has yielded considerable gains."
Tang Zhong then looked at Lin Sheng, speaking with a smile.
"Indeed, I had some Opportunities."
Lin Sheng cupped his hands again in a salute.
However, his heart was quite shaken by the feeling just now, which made him feel as if he was facing the Ink Sea Dragon Horseshoe Crab in the consciousness space, and even surpassed it.
Seeing this, Tang Zhong shook his head slightly, flicked his finger, and a cup of steaming tea arrived in front of Lin Sheng.
"The scent of blood on you is still there. It seems another Grandmaster lost his life at your hands."
Tang Zhong suddenly sniffed lightly, speaking as if he had detected something.
"It doesn't smell like the Sea King Sect; it smells more like Northern Yan. It seems you've encountered quite a few things on this trip, and your strength has increased quite a bit since we last met."
Upon hearing Tang Zhong's words, Lin Sheng's expression changed slightly.
He hadn't expected that even after several days, the other party could still detect the Grandmaster's spiritual residue on him.
"Don't worry, the spiritual residue on you has reached an extremely faint level. If you had come half a day later, I wouldn't have been able to detect it."
As if knowing what Lin Sheng was thinking, Tang Zhong smiled and shook his head.
"I didn't expect the secret art I taught you to have reached Major Achievement."
"Junior also had a fortunate Opportunity and managed to cultivate it successfully."
Upon hearing Tang Zhong's explanation, Lin Sheng finally felt relieved. He was truly afraid that the Grandmaster's residue on him would not be erased for a long time, which would then attract targeted retaliation from Northern Yan.
After all, in the Northern Yan military camp not far from here, there was still a terrifying Supreme Grandmaster.
Although he could now be compared to a Two Realm Grandmaster, or even close to a Three Realm Grandmaster.
But it was still far from enough for a Supreme Grandmaster.
This feeling became even stronger after his strength improved and he saw Tang Zhong again.
Last time, Tang Zhong appeared in his eyes like a scholar without any cultivation.
But this time, he could vaguely feel the terrifying energy contained within the thin body of this Southern Qi Military God.
Even Huyan Ji, a top Three Realm Grandmaster, had never given him this feeling. The gap between the two was more than ten times, even dozens of times, without exaggeration.
He also fully understood that although there seemed to be only one Realm difference between a Supreme Grandmaster and a Three Realm Grandmaster, the difference between the two was like a chasm.
No wonder both Southern Qi and Northern Yan had dozens of Grandmasters, but only two Supreme Grandmasters.
"The matter of the Sea King Sect has been dealt with cleanly, you don't need to worry about attracting any trouble."
Tang Zhong then changed the subject, a mysterious smile appearing on his face as he spoke.
"Jing Emperor has already confirmed your engagement with Lingyu. You are now considered Southern Qi's Imperial Son-in-Law, which is a good thing for both you and Lingyu."
"I have already sent a message to Green Robe about this matter, and Dark Star will not have any problems. You don't need to worry about anything, after all, this is not a bad thing for your Dark Star either."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng was stunned, then relaxed.
His engagement with Lingyu Princess had already been made, but Dark Star was not yet aware of this. He had planned to find a time to send a message back to explain, as he had a mission here, and suddenly marrying a Princess was indeed a bit abrupt.
He hadn't expected that this matter had already been arranged by the person in front of him. This was good, saving him a lot of effort.
"Also, your Master sent me a message saying that you are lacking the subsequent Cultivation Technique for the Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture. Is this true?"
Tang Zhong seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.
"Indeed, Junior does not yet have the Cultivation Technique for the Divine Form Realm of the Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture."
Lin Sheng was quite surprised that his cheap Master would disclose this matter to Tang Zhong.
"The Cultivation Technique for the Divine Form Realm?"
Tang Zhong stroked his chin, then got up and searched a bookshelf on one side of the tent.
Although the tent was simply decorated, besides the table and tea set, there were also two bookshelves.
Lin Sheng had seen these two bookshelves last time, filled with many books, which quite matched Tang Zhong's scholarly aura, so he didn't feel anything out of place.
At this moment, seeing Tang Zhong's actions, Lin Sheng was stunned, vaguely thinking of something in his heart, but also feeling it was unlikely.
Tang Zhong searched the bookshelf for a while before pulling out a tattered book from below.
Although there was no dust on it, it was clearly very old, and the writing on the black cover was severely worn, making the original words unreadable.
Tang Zhong flipped through the book in his hand, seemed to confirm something, nodded with satisfaction, and then directly threw it to Lin Sheng.
"Take it. Your Master lost the secret manual of the Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture a long time ago. If you want to get the latter half of the Cultivation Technique, you need to be by his side for him to teach it to you. Fortunately, I still have a copy here."
"..."
Lin Sheng looked at the tattered book in his hand, momentarily at a loss for words. He flipped through the book and indeed found that it was truly the Cultivation Technique for the Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture.
And it was a complete Cultivation Technique from beginning to end.
That the other party actually had the complete Cultivation Technique for the Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture was something he had never expected.
As if knowing what Lin Sheng was thinking.
Tang Zhong chuckled softly.
"What? You're surprised that I have the Cultivation Technique for the Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture?"
"Junior is indeed a bit surprised."
Lin Sheng nodded, speaking truthfully.
"Hehe..."
Tang Zhong smiled and shook his head.
"Not only do I have the Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture, but I also have the complete Cultivation Techniques for your Dark Star's two Mystic Skills, like Furious Tiger Devouring Elephant. Not just Dark Star, but I also have complete copies of Northern Yan's Imperial Family's Mystic Skills."
"Besides these, there are also Southern Qi's Mystic Skills. Oh, and it seems there are two Sacred Beast Spiritual Lights from Siro Country. In addition to these, there are also some extinct or not-yet-extinct minority race Cultivation Techniques."
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng took a deep breath.
His gaze fell on the two old bookshelves behind the other party, his eyes filled with complexity, and at the same time, a hint of fervor.
He had thought that Tang Zhong and Dark Star were already familiar with each other, so having Dark Star's Mystic Skills was barely explainable.
But he hadn't expected that the other party even had the Mystic Skills of Northern Yan's Imperial Family and even the Cultivation Techniques of Siro Country.
And the so-called Sacred Beast Spiritual Light was clearly also a Mystic Skill-level Cultivation Technique.
"Is this a Supreme Grandmaster?"
Lin Sheng sighed in his heart, thinking to himself.
He didn't need to think to know that any one of the books on the two old bookshelves behind Tang Zhong, if taken out, could cause a huge stir.
"Cultivating too many Mystic Skills is useless. The reason I collect so many Cultivation Techniques is just to pass the time. Mystic Skills inherently have no hierarchy, only suitability."
