Free Web NovelChapter 691: Chapter 469: Earth-Shattering Secret, Breaking Into the Li Fire Sect
"Aaaah—"
Zhang Wenliang and Huang Yuesheng howled in agony on the ground.
Sometimes having a powerful body wasn’t always a good thing.
If their physical bodies weren’t so strong, maybe their deaths would’ve been instant—less suffering that way.
Now, though, they could only feel their flesh being slowly corroded by the Cyan Lotus True Flame, their life force pouring out every second.
"You beast! You killed Nanshan Daoist! The Li Fire Sect will never let you get away with this!"
Zhang Wenliang shouted, his face twisted with rage.
He knew he was doomed—begging for his life was pointless, so all he could do was roar in fury.
"If they dare come for me, I’ll wipe them all out too!"
Lin Chang’sheng replied dismissively.
Without pause, he struck, two palms blasting Zhang Wenliang and Huang Yuesheng to death.
Their divine souls were swept up by Lin Chang’sheng into the Holy Soul Banner—their bodies and storage bags didn’t escape his grasp either.
"Senior, you already subdued the Cold Ice Jade Toad. Can’t you spare my life? It’s not like I’m worth much anyway!"
Qin Yuan swallowed hard, eyes full of desperate hope to survive.
"Of course, no problem!"
Lin Chang’sheng replied simply.
Hearing this, Qin Yuan’s face filled with relief, and he immediately turned to flee.
Whoosh—
But in the next instant, a Thunder Flame Arrow tore through the air.
Boom—
It struck Qin Yuan in the back, smashing into him and crippling him instantly.
There was no way Lin Chang’sheng could let word get out that he’d killed Nanshan Daoist—Qin Yuan had to die too.
"No... didn’t you say... you’d spare my life?"
Blood dripped from Qin Yuan’s mouth, his eyes filled with frustration and unwillingness.
"Spare you? What a joke!"
Gu Shan stepped up and, in a split second, smashed a fist down, sending Qin Yuan to meet his end.
If it hadn’t been for their overwhelming strength, Lin Chang’sheng and Gu Shan would have already died by Qin Yuan’s hand. Did anyone here really expect mercy?
In this cultivation world where the weak are prey, being merciful to others is just being cruel to yourself.
After absorbing Qin Yuan’s divine soul and body into his Soul Banner, Lin Chang’sheng continued on with Gu Shan.
The chaos here might draw the attention of some strong cultivators, so it was best to get out fast.
This time, though, Lin Chang’sheng didn’t summon the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle as his mount.
Flying through the skies himself let him grind proficiency for the Nine Heavens Phoenix Cry Step.
Once he’d maxed out proficiency, he could ride the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle again.
So Lin Chang’sheng sliced through the air, flying while channeling his flames at the same time.
Divine Flame Realm—Experience Points +1!
Nine Heavens Phoenix Cry Step—Experience Points +1!
....
The proficiency of these two immortal techniques was skyrocketing.
"Where did you get this Divine Flame Power anyway?"
Gu Shan stared at the raging fire in Lin Chang’sheng’s palm, curiosity clear in his eyes.
The Divine Flame Power Lin Chang’sheng wielded was terrifying—even Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators would be hard-pressed to snuff it out.
Even if Gu Shan gave it everything he had, he likely wasn’t Lin Chang’sheng’s match anymore.
"If it’s not something you should ask, don’t ask!"
Lin Chang’sheng had no intention to tell Gu Shan everything. Was he supposed to say he’d fused several divine flames, giving birth to the Cyan Lotus True Flame?
He wasn’t that stupid.
He and Gu Shan were only collaborators, and things could turn hostile at any time—no point spilling his secrets.
Hearing this, Gu Shan dropped the subject.
[Divine Flame Realm: Perfection!]
[Nine Heavens Phoenix Cry Step: Perfection!]
After five or six hours of flying and channeling his flames, Lin Chang’sheng finally maxed out proficiency in both immortal techniques—reaching the Perfection Realm.
Skree—
With both techniques at Perfection, Lin Chang’sheng summoned the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle again and began to ride.
This left Lin Chang’sheng time for other things.
In his storage bag were the three storage bags of Nanshan Daoist, Zhang Wenliang, and Huang Yuesheng—he hadn’t checked them yet. Who knew what treasures they’d left behind?
But the Li Fire Sect was still just considered a second-class power in the Immortal Realm.
Their treasures couldn’t possibly compare to those of He Jie or Gao Yao.
So Lin Chang’sheng didn’t get his hopes too high.
Still, when Lin Chang’sheng opened Nanshan Daoist’s storage bag, he was caught off guard.
The old Daoist had seventy or eighty thousand crystal stones, and the bag was stuffed with spirit treasures, immortal techniques, and all kinds of medicinal herbs.
"Probably because he helped other factions on the side, netting quite a haul!"
Lin Chang’sheng thought privately.
Just like when the Black Tiger Sect and White Snake Gang hired him to subdue the Cold Ice Jade Toad—they would’ve given him plenty for his trouble. No way he’d have helped for nothing.
Getting a Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse to act isn’t easy.
If you don’t offer a couple Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures and at least tens of thousands of Immortal Crystals, they wouldn’t even consider dealing with your problems.
"Why is there no cultivation method for the Li Fire Flame?"
Lin Chang’sheng was puzzled. The thing he wanted most was the Li Fire Sect’s secret technique. If he could comprehend the Li Fire Flame, he could fuse it with the Cyan Lotus True Flame and make his power skyrocket.
But combing through Nanshan Daoist’s storage bag, he found nothing related to the Li Fire Flame.
All he found was a sword technique immortal art called Li Fire Heaven-Burning Decision.
"Could cultivating this immortal technique let me control the Li Fire Flame?"
Lin Chang’sheng wondered to himself, but it didn’t seem likely!
He carefully searched through Nanshan Daoist’s storage bag again and, aside from immortal crystals, a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, and a pile of herbs, he found no clues at all.
"Guess I’ll ask that old bastard myself."
Lin Chang’sheng decided internally.
He exited his storage space, then waved his hand to summon Nanshan Daoist’s divine soul out of the Holy Soul Banner.
"You little beast! You killed me—Li Fire Sect will never let you go!"
As soon as he appeared, Nanshan Daoist spat threats with wild abandon.
But Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t the type to be intimidated—why would he fear a measly Li Fire Sect?
"Do you know He Jie of the Immortal Martial Hall? What about Gao Yao of Spirit Mountain? I don’t even see eye to eye with elders of the top sects in the Immortal Realm. Why would I be scared of your Li Fire Sect? Now, answer a few questions honestly, and maybe I’ll spare you some pain!"
