Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Speak Out to Remind

"Everything is ready. We can enter the Heavenly Mountain Sect at any time," one of the figures in black said.

"Very well. Everyone rest. In one hour, we will enter the Heavenly Mountain Sect. Tonight, the Heavenly Mountain Sect will fall!" the leader of the black-clad figures declared, his voice laden with a cold, murderous intent.

"Yes, Right Envoy," they acknowledged in unison, then sat cross-legged on the ground to rest.

Hearing their conversation, Lin Kuang furrowed his brow. Right Envoy? I feel like I’ve heard that term somewhere before.

He thought carefully for a moment, and his expression changed drastically, his eyes filling with shock. Previously, when I clashed with Gongsun Zhan, the successor of the Slash Path Sword, an old man called Nameless appeared. But that Nameless wasn’t real—he was the Left Envoy of the Demon Sect! Now I’m hearing about a Right Envoy... These people must be from the Demon Sect!

Although Lin Kuang didn’t know much about the Demon Sect, he knew these people were definitely up to no good. Otherwise, why would so many in the Ancient Martial Realm want to eradicate them?

It seems they really are from the Demon Sect, and they’re heading to the Heavenly Mountain Sect to make it fall. Are they planning to eliminate the entire sect tonight? Lin Kuang frowned at the thought. If that was the case, he would have to intervene. After all, he wouldn’t let the Demon Sect do as they pleased.

They’re all very strong. I’m no match for them on my own. It looks like my only choice is to find an opportunity to get to the Heavenly Mountain Sect myself. Still, I’d better watch and see for now. In any case, I can’t let them discover me.

With that thought, Lin Kuang settled down cautiously, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

Just half an hour later, his ears twitched. Someone else is coming! he thought, watching intently.

At that moment, the Right Envoy also sensed the approach. He made a hand gesture, and the group of black-clad figures instantly vanished, concealing themselves.

Just after they had hidden, six people appeared in the basin.

Seeing them, Lin Kuang’s expression shifted slightly, because he recognized one of them—Pei Yuandong!

Yes, that’s Pei Yuandong, the man I fought in the East Sea. That means these six must be from the Pei Family! Lin Kuang couldn’t help but frown at the realization. He had no favorable impression of the Pei Family, but he held a great deal of respect for Pei Yuandong, who was a truly respectable opponent.

So, it’s the Pei Family. It looks like they’re here for my Nameless Sword, too! If Pei Yuandong weren’t here, I’d really enjoy watching the rest of you die! Looks like I’ll have to warn them. I can’t just stand by and watch Pei Yuandong get killed like this. Lin Kuang grumbled inwardly, a hint of killing intent flickering in his eyes.

"This Lin Kuang is truly formidable. He even finished off Chen Fengyuan," someone from the Pei Family commented, a note of admiration in his voice. "The fate of the Dong Family is uncertain; they’re likely all dead. That kid is not simple at all."

"I agree. It seems he’s reached the Skyline Realm. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have accomplished all that," another person added, his tone a mix of disbelief and astonishment. "To reach the Skyline Realm in his twenties... he’s on par with the prodigies from those super families. Even their heirs are probably only at the same level, right?"

"Fortunately, our Pei Family has Yuandong. He’s just a step away from the Skyline Realm himself. I’m sure it won’t be long before our younger generation has its own Skyline Realm expert," the first speaker remarked again, his voice filled with pride as he glanced at the composed Pei Yuandong.

"Indeed. Yuandong is incredible, breaking through one level after another. I believe his future achievements will be limitless," the other person reiterated, his tone full of satisfaction.

While they were chatting, the eight men in black began to close in on them, a development Lin Kuang observed with perfect clarity.

Seeing the eight men in black about to act, Lin Kuang hastily sent a sound transmission, "Pei Yuandong, be careful! Someone is trying to assassinate you! They must be from the Demon Sect, and they’re about to make their move. This is Lin Kuang!"

Pei Yuandong, who had been resting quietly, was startled by the sound transmission. He immediately turned his head to survey the surroundings. Right then, he saw the approaching men in black.

"Everyone, be careful! Someone is trying to kill us!" Pei Yuandong bellowed.

They were in a basin, and his shout was deafening, resonating powerfully enough for everyone to hear. Hearing his words, Pei Yourong and Pei Qingtao’s expressions changed dramatically, and they instantly became vigilant.

At that exact moment, the Right Envoy and the seven others charged out. Each wielded a long saber as they launched their attack on the Pei Family members.

"Be careful, everyone! Kill them!" Pei Yourong shouted, charging forward to engage the Right Envoy directly.

In a flash, the two were locked in combat, Pei Yourong’s longsword parrying the Right Envoy’s attack. Pei Qingtao rapidly engaged two of the other assailants, while Pei Yuandong and the rest sprang into action to block the remaining attackers.

"You... you’re from the Demon Sect?!" Pei Yuandong asked, looking at the black-clad men with confusion.

At his words, the expressions on Pei Yourong and Pei Qingtao’s faces changed drastically. They knew full well what the Demon Sect represented: darkness, slaughter, and pure evil. What puzzled them was how Pei Yuandong could ask such a question. Could he already know who these people were?

Hearing Pei Yuandong’s question, the Right Envoy, though masked, shuddered.

Pei Yourong, who was fighting him, naturally felt this shudder. It puzzled him, but at the same time, a look of realization dawned in his eyes.

"Boy, how did you know we’re from the Demon Sect? You even knew we were about to kill you. What’s going on? Don’t tell me you sensed it yourself. You don’t have that ability yet," the Right Envoy demanded, his expression ugly and his voice low as a murderous glint flickered in his eyes.

"Why should I tell you?" Pei Yuandong replied coldly, staring back at the Right Envoy.
