Chapter 169 Mist Sail Sword Sect
Update Time: 8-12 15:03:04 Words: 3438

Long Lin turned his head and saw that the five-colored phoenix was still following him closely. He frowned, then smiled and walked forward to pat its head, saying, "Little Phoenix... I have to go into the city to take care of some things, so I can't take you with me! You should go!"
The phoenix seemed to understand Long Lin's meaning, but shook its head, cried out in dissatisfaction, and rubbed against Long Lin, unwilling to leave.
"Little Phoenix, I really can't take you with me!" Long Lin smiled helplessly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, why don't you wait for me at the ebony boat? I'll be back soon!"
This time, the phoenix tilted its head and thought for a moment, then nodded quickly, cried out to Long Lin, and spread its wings to fly towards the ebony boat.
Looking in the direction the five-colored phoenix flew away, Long Lin smiled, then glanced at the misty Mist Sail City, a sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Those who deceive my loved ones shall die!"
Long Lin strode towards Misty Sail City.
Misty Sail City was situated on a plain at the foot of this high mountain. The city spanned dozens of miles and had a considerable population; Long Lin estimated it to be around tens of thousands.
Although it was an island, it resembled a paradise, still bustling with merchants, farmers, taverns, and teahouses. However, upon entering the city, he noticed several young men dressed in white, carrying swords, standing in the streets and at the city gates.
Long Lin observed that these young men were all physically strong and skilled in swordsmanship. Without alerting them, he casually went to a tavern to gather information.
He learned that Misty Sail Island had been there for some time, and the island was inhabited by its original inhabitants, who seemed to have migrated there during a long period of war. The island was not governed by the government but by a sect called the Misty Sail Sword Sect. The men in white were disciples of the Misty Sail Sword Sect.
Right now, the inner disciples of the Mist Sail Sword Sect are preparing to participate in the Demon Beast Tournament. It turns out that Mist Sail Island is located overseas, its people are known for their fierce and warlike nature, and the Sword Sect's influence extends far and wide, covering hundreds of miles of sea around the island. To train its disciples, the Mist Sail Sword Sect holds a grand Demon Beast Tournament every three years. Each disciple must capture a demon beast as a test of their cultivation. The higher the rank of the demon beast, the higher their social standing, and the more advanced sword techniques they can obtain from the Mist Sail Sword Sect.
Upon hearing this news, Long Lin secretly understood that those people had captured the Five-Colored Phoenix precisely for this Demon Beast Tournament. The sea serpent demon beast in Chu Yunxin's possession was an even rarer beast, and they naturally coveted it. However, their blatant attempt to steal it was truly infuriating.
"Hmph… Mist Sail Sword Sect!"
Long Lin gritted his teeth, firmly remembering the name.
The Mist Sail Sword Sect, situated in the heart of Mist Sail City, is a towering building constructed of massive rocks. Four ferocious sea wolf-like demonic beasts crouch at each corner of the roof, adding to the sect's intimidating aura.
"Who goes there? Get out of here!"
Two white-robed disciples impatiently shooed a young man away from the sect's entrance. Within Mist Sail City, the Mist Sail Sword Sect was practically a forbidden zone, unreachable to the islanders. It was heavily guarded, and ordinary people were strictly forbidden from approaching.
Unfortunately, this young man was no ordinary person; he was none other than Long Lin, who had come looking for trouble.
Without using his crimson true energy, the two sword sect disciples, attempting to pull him away, inexplicably tripped and fell, one of them breaking an arm and screaming in agony on the ground.
Hearing the commotion, more than ten disciples from the Mist Sail Sword Sect rushed out, each wielding a long sword, surrounding Long Lin and glaring angrily.
"Who dares to act so arrogantly here?"
One of the white-robed disciples pointed his longsword and shouted sharply.
Long Lin noticed a small red sword shrouded in mist on the chest of the white robe, different from the gray swords of the other disciples, suggesting he was a disciple of a higher rank. He crossed his arms and sneered, "Hmph, acting arrogantly? A mere little sword sect dares to be so presumptuous... Quickly call your sect leader out!"
"How dare you! Don't you know who you are, calling me grandmaster! Brothers, let him taste the power of our sword sect!"
Enraged by Long Lin's retort, the disciple roared and thrust his longsword at Long Lin with a flourish.
Long Lin smiled coldly, and when the sword was right in front of him, he extended his left hand, two fingers firmly gripping the tip. "Let go!" With a cold laugh, he channeled his inner energy, a crimson light flashed, and the longsword was snatched from the disciple's hand.
At this moment, the other disciples of the Mist Sail Sect were all stunned. They each drew their swords and charged forward, several sword lights aimed directly at Long Lin's vital points.
Long Lin casually tossed the sword in his hand, and with a clang of metal on metal, the disciples of the Mist Sail Sword Sect gasped and took three steps back. With a crisp sound, more than a dozen longswords shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
The disciples of the Mist Sail Sword Sect were all dumbfounded, their previous arrogance instantly vanishing. The high-ranking disciple's face flushed red and then turned pale. He suddenly said to the person next to him, "Quickly go and report to our master uncle, say that someone is causing trouble!"
"What happened?"
Just then, a middle-aged man in his thirties dressed in white walked out of the door, followed by two disciples. His hair was pulled back, and his face was ruddy, clearly indicating that he was a sword master who had cultivated internal energy.
"Reporting to our master uncle, this brat is causing trouble at the gate, injuring Junior Brother Liu and shattering our swords!"
The high-ranking disciple hurriedly bowed and said, turning back to glare fiercely at Long Lin.
"I understand, you may leave now!"
the white-robed man said unhurriedly, glancing casually at the fragments of the longsword on the ground. A slight look of surprise appeared on his face as he cupped his hands and forced a smile at Long Lin, saying, "Young man, I am Zhu Zifeng, the gatekeeper of Misty Sail Island. May I ask what brings you to our sect?"
Long Lin looked at the middle-aged man named Zhu Zifeng and said, "I wouldn't presume to offer guidance. I am Long Lin. I have no other business here than to ask for my younger sister, who was captured by your disciples!"
"Oh?"
Zhu Zifeng was taken aback, and after a moment's thought, asked, "Who is your sister? My Misty Sail Sword Sect has no grudge against you, so why would we capture your sister?"
"Hmph! As the gatekeeper, do you not know what your disciples have done?"
Long Lin sneered.
Zhu Zifeng's face immediately darkened. This person before him was no ordinary individual and not to be trifled with. Moreover, the Demon Beast Tournament was about to begin tomorrow, and any unforeseen trouble at this time would be disastrous. If someone were to act violently and kidnap women in broad daylight, it would be extremely detrimental to the reputation of the Misty Sail Sword Sect. He immediately shouted to the two disciples behind him, "Qingfeng, Mingyue, you two go and find out who did such a thing!"
The two disciples agreed and each took out a whistle, throwing it into the air. With a loud bang, the whistles dispersed, creating a cloud of mist in which a long, cyan sword appeared and disappeared, only gradually dissipating after a long while.
"Young master, I have already ordered someone to investigate this matter. If you don't mind, please come inside and have some tea while we wait!"
Zhu Zifeng said with a smile to Long Lin after seeing the two disciples give the signal.
"Then I apologize for disturbing you, Long Lin!"
Long Lin clasped his hands in a salute and followed Zhu Zifeng into the Misty Sail Sword Sect. Although the Mist Sail Sword Sect was merely a sect on an island, its architecture was quite grand, with artificial hills and stone pavilions everywhere, and disciples with serious expressions, each wielding a sharp sword. Long Lin was somewhat puzzled; how could the seemingly disciplined Mist Sail Sword Sect openly abduct a woman?
"Young Master Long Lin, please sit down, tea is served!"
In the reception room of the Mist Sail Sword Sect, Zhu Zifeng politely invited Long Lin to sit down and ordered tea to be served.
Long Lin didn't stand on ceremony, merely glancing around at the surrounding furnishings.
"Young Master Long Lin, you don't seem to be a local?"
Zhu Zifeng asked with a smile.
"Sect Leader Zhu, I am indeed not from Misty Sail Island. My sister and I set off from Qin to seek immortality at sea, but unexpectedly we were robbed here." "
So you are a master from the Central Plains, no wonder you are so powerful. Rest assured, if your sister was indeed mistakenly captured by my Misty Sail Sword Sect, I, Zhu Zifeng, guarantee her safety, and I will personally apologize to you and your sister!"
Zhu Zifeng said.
"Very well, I'll believe you, Sect Leader Zhu. But let me make this clear: if my sister suffers even the slightest harm, don't blame me, Long Lin, for being impolite!"
Long Lin said coldly.
"That's right, that's right..."
Zhu Zifeng quickly replied with a forced smile.
After sitting for only a short while, the two disciples who had accompanied Zhu Zifeng returned and whispered something in his ear.
Zhu Zifeng was immediately taken aback. Seeing Long Lin's surprised look, he quickly smiled and said, "Young Master Long, there's news about your sister. However, she's not in our Misty Sail Sword Sect; she was mistakenly captured by the Left Gate. But don't worry, Young Master Long, your sister is perfectly safe. I'll go there myself and ensure her safe return."
"Could there be a second Misty Sail Sword Sect in Misty Sail City?"
Long Lin asked.
Zhu Zifeng looked somewhat troubled, but still said, "Young Master Long, you may not know this, but our Misty Sail Sword Sect, though nominally one family, actually has two factions. We are the Right Sword Faction, and there is another Left Sword Faction, independent of the Sword Sect. Although it is also called the Misty Sail Sword Sect and wears the same attire, it is not bound by our Right Sword Faction. Alas! But Young Master Long, rest assured, this matter concerns the reputation of our Misty Sail Sword Sect, and I will certainly handle it properly."
Long Lin pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Very well, I will accompany Supervisor Zhu to make the trip!"
"Young Master Long, it's not necessary! The Left Sword Faction leader is very protective of his own, and I'm afraid that if any complications arise, it will be difficult to handle!"
Zhu Zifeng said with difficulty.
Long Lin sneered and said, "Since that's the case, then there's no need for Supervisor Zhu to trouble himself; I'll go myself!" Saying this, he walked out.
Zhu Zifeng called out twice to Long Lin, but there was no response. In a hurry, he chased after him, while whispering to his disciples to quickly inform the sect elders.
Long Lin left the Mist Sail Sword Sect, glanced at the large characters "Mist Sail Sword Sect" on the upper floor, sneered, and inquired about the location of the Left Sword Sect from the disciples at the gate before walking forward.
Just as Long Lin left, Zhu Zifeng, accompanied by two disciples, chased after him, sighing anxiously as they went.
Meanwhile, on a small hill west of Mist Sail City, stood a row of halls, the training grounds of the Left Sword Sect.
"Senior brother, what do we do if that person comes looking for us?"
Inside one of the halls, a disciple in white robes asked a young man in white robes who was leisurely drinking tea. In the corner of the room, tied to a stone pillar, was a beautiful young woman, her mouth gagged, unable to speak. In an iron cage before her, a small sea snake was emitting mournful hiss.
"Hmph... No matter how capable he is, he's still just one person. We can eliminate him completely! Anyway, I'm determined to have this sea serpent and this little girl!"
the white-robed young man said, then thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, did Third Brother and the others return from capturing that phoenix chick? Our Left Sword Sect must surpass the Right Sword Sect at the Demon Beast Tournament this time. Master has already said that we can use any means necessary if necessary!"

Chapter 170 Heartless Turn on Each Other
Update Time: 8-12 15:05:07 Words: 3338

Misty Sail Island, Left Sword Sect.
"Senior Brother, something bad has happened! Third Brother and the others are back!"
Just then, a white-robed disciple staggered in from outside the door, shouting to Senior Brother Mu Du.
"What are you yelling for? What's wrong with them coming back?"
Mu Du glanced at Chu Yunxin tied to the pillar and angrily rebuked the white-robed disciple.
The white-robed disciple immediately fell silent. At this moment, a weak shout was heard, and several disciples escorted an injured young man in. He was none other than Mu Ye, the third senior brother who had led the team to capture the phoenix chick atop Misty Sail Mountain.
"Junior brother, what happened?"
Mu Du exclaimed in surprise, rushing forward to support Mu Ye and asking. Logically, with their strength, dealing with a phoenix chick shouldn't have been difficult, so why were they returning in such a sorry state? Had they encountered some trouble?
"Sigh!"
Mu Ye sighed, "It's bad news. A powerful figure may have arrived on Misty Sail Island." He then briefly recounted the events at the mountaintop, especially emphasizing the strange, golden-haired figure.
"What?"
Mu Du suddenly felt a sense of foreboding wash over him. He glanced again at the girl he had tied to the pillar, pondered for a moment, then patted Mu Ye's shoulder and said, "Alright, I understand. Go and rest!"
"But… the phoenix chick…"
Mu Ye hesitated.
"We'll talk about the phoenix chick later. With this, we're not afraid of the Left Sword Sect!"
With that, Mu Du pointed to the iron cage in the corner.
"A Sea Serpent King Beast?"
Mu Ye exclaimed in surprise. The small sea serpent in the cage had a shimmering red horn on its head, making it the legendary Sea Serpent King Beast. This immediately astonished him. The value of this small sea serpent was probably even greater than that of the Phoenix Chick.
"Where did you get it from?"
Mu Ye asked hurriedly.
Mu Du pondered for a moment and said, "From the seaside. Hmm, don't worry about this for now. Focus on healing your injuries. Tomorrow, we'll probably have a fierce battle against the Right Sword Sect."
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
Mu Ye replied, turning and walking out.
At this moment, Mu Du slowly frowned, muttered a few words, and suddenly looked up at his disciples, saying, "Hide this woman and the beast in the back mountain and guard them closely."
"Yes!"
two disciples replied, and went forward to move Chu Yunxin and the sea serpent beast.
The back mountain was a forbidden area of the Misty Sail Sword Sect. Apart from Mu Du and a few of his men, no one in the sect dared to go there. Therefore, it was the safest place for the mysterious woman and the demonic beast to hide. He was still somewhat worried that the mysterious person Mu Ye encountered might be in league with this woman.
Because, when he captured the woman, he had heard her call out someone's name. But that person hadn't appeared.
"Senior Brother, Right Sword Sect's Uncle-Master Zhu Zifeng requests an audience!"
At this moment, a disciple came to report from outside the door.
"Zhu Zifeng, what brings him here?" Mu Du murmured, pondering for a moment, then asked, "Where is he?"
"Right outside the door!"
"Please come in!"
Mu Du's brows furrowed slightly. Could it be related to the sea serpent demonic beast?
"Haha, Brother Mu, nephew, how have you been?"
Zhu Zifeng strode in. Behind him were two Right Sword Sect disciples and a young man.
"Uncle-Master Zhu, please rest assured. May I ask what brings you to my Left Sword Sect? My master is still in seclusion; he won't emerge until tomorrow's Demonic Beast Tournament."
Mu Du cupped his hands and smiled, but his eyes fell on the young man behind Zhu Zifeng. This young man was in his early twenties, with a handsome and imposing appearance, but his clothing didn't resemble that of Fog Sail Island. He exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle Zhu, who is this?"
Zhu Zifeng chuckled and said, "This is Brother Long Lin, who has traveled a great distance from the Great Qin Empire, a highly skilled seeker of immortality."
"Oh dear, my apologies, my apologies!"
Mu Du quickly smiled, but his heart sank.
"Brother Mu, you're too kind. I'm new to this place, please take good care of me!"
Long Lin replied politely. As he spoke, his eyes scanned the surroundings, noticing a puddle of water in the corner of the room, and what appeared to be marks of binding on the pillar.
"Nephew Mu, I only have one small matter to ask for your help today!"
Zhu Zifeng said politely.
Mu Du smiled and said, "What is it? Uncle, please just tell me. There's no need for such formalities."
"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point... This Brother Long has come all the way from across the ocean, accompanied by a companion, his sister. I heard that Brother Mu invited her to the Left Sword Sect. Please allow Brother Long to meet her to ease his worries,"
Zhu Zifeng said.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Mu Du's heart sank. He had guessed correctly; this person was indeed related to the woman he had captured and the sea serpent demon beast. However, he would never release her easily, so he rolled his eyes and replied, "Uncle Zhu, you jest. These past few days, our Left Sword Sect disciples have been searching for high-level demon beasts and preparing for the Demon Beast Tournament. We haven't seen this Brother Long's sister at all."
"This..."
Seeing Mu Du's denial, Zhu Zifeng was in a dilemma. Although the Left and Right Sword Sects of Misty Sail Island were not on good terms, they were still one family after all, and it was inconvenient to turn against each other for an outsider. Besides, they didn't have any real evidence that the Left Sword Sect had captured anyone.
"Well, since it's a misunderstanding, then we'll part ways. Sorry for the disturbance!"
Long Lin said indifferently, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture to Mu Du before walking out.
Zhu Zifeng, momentarily confused, hurriedly followed, saying, "Brother Long..." Once
outside the Left Sword Sect gate, Long Lin said, "Sect Leader Zhu, since both sides have stated that my sister is not in the Misty Sail Sword Sect, then I, Long Lin, have been presumptuous. I will investigate my sister's matter elsewhere."
"Brother Long, rest assured, our Misty Sail Sword Sect is a powerful force on Misty Sail Island. We will certainly assist you in finding that blind fool and rescuing your sister,"
Zhu Zifeng replied upon hearing Long Lin's words. In truth, even if she were in the Left Sword Sect, he couldn't easily interfere.
Long Lin understood what he meant and immediately smiled, "The Misty Sail Sword Sect is a righteous sect and would never do such a despicable thing. There's no need for Supervisor Zhu to trouble himself with investigating my sister's matter. However, I have a request, and I ask that Supervisor Zhu grant it."
"Please speak, brother!"
Zhu Zifeng said.
Long Lin hesitated for a moment before saying, "If I find out that my sister was harmed by villains on Misty Sail Island, then I urge the Misty Sail Sword Sect to uphold justice and not let them bully me, Long Lin, because I am an outsider."
Although Long Lin's words were polite, they contained a strong killing intent, making Zhu Zifeng shudder. He quickly agreed.
"In that case, Long Lin will take his leave!"
Long Lin didn't wait for Zhu Zifeng to stop him and left alone.
Zhu Zifeng watched Long Lin's departing figure, then looked back at the gate of the Left Sword Sect, shaking his head and sighing. If the Left Sword Sect had truly captured Long Lin's junior sister, the trouble they would likely cause would be considerable.
"Senior Brother...they're gone!"
At this moment, a white-robed disciple was reporting to Mu Du from the Left Sword Sect of the Misty Sail Sword Sect.
"Alright, I know..."
Mu Du frowned, waved for the disciple to leave, and breathed a sigh of relief. He then said to the inner gate, "Third Junior Brother, come out!"
The third junior brother, Mu Ye, came out and greeted his senior brother.
"Mu Ye, you saw that person in the shadows just now. Is he the one who stopped you from capturing the Phoenix Chick?"
Mu Ye shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like it, but the physique is quite similar.
However, that person was covered in golden light." "Hmm, are the girl and the sea serpent demon beast well hidden?"
Mu Du nodded and asked.
"They're well hidden. They're in the forbidden area of the back mountain. No one can find them!"
Mu Ye replied.
"Good!"
Mu Du chuckled sinisterly. "Tomorrow, once the Demon Beast Tournament begins, hmph! By then, even if that brat finds out, it'll be too late."
Just then, a clear voice chuckled, "Tomorrow is too late? What about today?"
Mu Du and Mu Ye were both startled; clearly, this voice belonged to Long Lin. But how could his voice be here?
At that moment, a small snake slowly crawled onto Mu Du's table, raised its head, and said, "Mu Du, Mu Ye, I said, those who deceive my loved ones shall die!"
Mu Du and Mu Ye were astonished; clearly, it had heard their words. But Long Lin had been human just now, how could he have turned into a snake?
"Damn it!"
Mu Du roared, drawing his sword and thrusting it at the snake.
However, before his sword could pierce the snake's body, he suddenly saw a blinding red light, forcing him to close his eyes and take a step back.
"Don't move!"
A hard object pressed against Mu Du's back; behind him stood a young man bathed in golden light.
"Ah, it's him!"
Mu Ye exclaimed in surprise, for the golden figure who had suddenly appeared was the one who had helped Feng Chu defeat him atop Misty Sail Mountain. However, as soon as he uttered the words, he felt a chill on his neck; a strange weapon, exuding extreme cold, was already pressed against it.
"You...who are you?"
Mu Ye asked in shock.
Long Lin smiled and said, "I am Long Lin, that's right, I'm the one who stopped you from capturing Feng Chu."
"What do you want?"
Mu Du's face was now ashen. He had practiced swordsmanship for over ten years, and on Misty Sail Island, apart from a few old men from the Misty Sail Sword Sect, no one could rival his swordsmanship. He hadn't expected to be captured alive without even making a move. How could this person's martial arts be so terrifying?
At this moment, Long Lin said, "Take me to the back mountain!"
"This..."
Mu Ye hesitated for a moment, then the coldness on his neck sent a shiver down his spine; any more coldness would have been enough to suffocate him.
"Mu Ye, fight!"
Mu Du said fiercely.
Long Lin turned his head, glanced at him indifferently, nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Qin Hun, that trash is useless now, you handle it!"
Qin Hun nodded, and with a thrust of the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword, Mu Du felt a sharp pain in his back and collapsed to the ground.
In a single strike, Mu Du was killed. Cold sweat immediately streamed down Mu Ye's face. He looked at Long Lin and hurriedly said, "She's in the back mountain, I'll take you there!"
"Good! That's more like being pragmatic!"
Long Lin smiled slightly, removed the Frostfire Spirit Iron Rifle bayonet from Mu Ye's neck, and coldly said, "Let's go!"
At this moment, some disciples had already noticed the abnormality and rushed over. However, seeing Mu Du's death and Mu Ye's being controlled, none dared to act rashly, only following from a distance.
Meanwhile, some quick-witted individuals, disregarding their master's seclusion, had already rushed into the seclusion to report.
Along a pebbly path, Long Lin escorted Mu Ye step by step towards the back mountain. His entire body faintly emitted a flickering crimson light, his inner energy surrounding him, constantly on guard against any sneak attacks.

Chapter 171 A Must-Kill!!
Update Time: 8-13 8:37:37 Words: 3529

"Ahead, ahead is the cave on the back mountain!"
Mu Ye, being escorted by Long Lin, pointed to a cave on the mountain ahead.
Long Lin looked ahead and saw the cave perched on a cliff face, with a narrow plank road extending straight up from the foot of the mountain. Two lines of large characters were engraved on the cave ceiling: "The sword seems heartless, but the mist has a heart; the mountain is heartless, but people have feelings."
"Well said, 'The mountain is heartless, but people have feelings,' this must be your ancestral precept!"
Long Lin asked.
"Yes, these are the words left by my founder, Grandmaster Ling Fan, of the Mist Sail Sword Sect!"
Although questioned by Long Lin, Mu Ye still spoke with pride when mentioning his grandmaster. Grandmaster Ling Fan had traveled across the ocean and discovered Mist Sail Island, establishing such a foundation with just a precious sword. Moreover, he had comprehended the Dao of the sword in this Sword Mountain Cave and ascended to immortality.
The later generations of the Mist Sail Sword Sect were all descendants of Grandmaster Ling Fan, practicing his Mist Sail Sword Technique.
"Hmph, 'The mountain is heartless, but people have feelings,' is this how you descendants uphold ancient precepts?"
Long Lin sneered.
Embarrassed by Long Lin's retort, Mu Ye thought to himself, "These are all the actions of my senior brother, Mu Du, what does it have to do with me?" However, he didn't argue at this moment, but instead walked up the plank road.
Above the wooden plank was a sign carved from some unknown wood, bearing two large, bright red cinnabar characters: "Forbidden Area!"
Long Lin sneered inwardly. No wonder these people were like this; they dared to trespass even into the forbidden area. He couldn't help but shake his head at the Left Sword Sect of the Misty Sail Sword Clan.
"Who dares to kill my disciple and trespass into my mountain's forbidden area!"
A sudden shout came from the back cliff. At that moment, a gray shadow flashed at the other end of the plank road, and there stood a seven-foot-tall old man in a gray robe with white hair and a youthful face. He carried an ancient pine-patterned sword on his back and stood there coldly.
"Master, save me!"
Mu Ye cried out upon seeing the old man in gray robes. However, with Long Lin's Frostfire Spirit Iron Rifle pointed at his back and heart, he dared not take a step forward.
"You little thief, why don't you release my disciple at once?!"
The old man in gray robes was furious when he saw that Long Lin ignored him.
"Hmph, if the disciple is worthless, I don't think the master is any better!"
Long Lin sneered.
"You wicked disciple, how dare you insult my master?"
At this moment, Mu Ye suddenly stopped and said coldly.
"Mu Ye... don't speak!"
The gray-robed elder stopped Mu Ye, then suddenly laughed loudly, "Interesting. I've been running the Left Sword Sect for over twenty years, and no one has ever dared to speak to me like this. Boy, state your name!"
"You're not worthy to know my name!"
Long Lin said coldly, showing no respect whatsoever to this so-called sect leader of the Left Sword Sect.
"Interesting... wait until I put my sword to your neck, then let's see if you're still so arrogant!"
the gray-robed elder said.
"Keep going!"
Long Lin ignored the gray-robed elder and urged Mu Ye to continue forward.
"Hmph, I'm not going anymore! Long Lin, just kill me!"
Mu Ye stood there motionless, enraged by Long Lin's mockery of the gray-robed elder.
"Kill you?"
Long Lin sneered. "Dream on! You won't even die before you see my sister."
"You..."
Mu Ye was speechless for a moment. He suddenly felt that the person behind him was truly terrifying. As he walked forward, his legs began to tremble.
"Long Lin, stop!"
At this moment, the gray-robed elder suddenly snorted coldly. He then waved his hand, and two disciples rushed out of the back cave, dragging a woman. One of them was carrying the iron cage, inside which was the sea serpent demon beast.
"Do you want them?"
the gray-robed elder said with a sneer.
"Brother, save me!"
Seeing Long Lin, Chu Yunxin, whose meridians were sealed and who had some power but could not use it, cried out anxiously.
Long Lin's pupils contracted slightly as he said to the gray-robed elder, "Release them!"
"Long Lin, my name is Fan Ren. Judging from my name, I'm not the kind of person who's soft-hearted. Besides, how can our Fog Sail Sword Sect's Left Sword Clan be threatened so easily? Release my disciple, and I'll release your woman!"
the gray-robed elder said again.
"That's a condition I should be the one to propose!"
Long Lin said coldly. "Fan Ren, I warn you, if you still want your disciple's life, release them first!" The
gray-robed elder blinked, looked at Long Lin, then glanced at Mu Ye, and finally hesitated before saying, "Fine!" He then waved his hand slightly behind him.
Two Left Sword Clan disciples, escorting Chu Yunxin and carrying an iron cage, slowly walked onto the pier and came before Long Lin.
"Long Lin, I'm handing her over to you!"
Fan Ren said, watching the two disciples release Chu Yunxin, but a fierce glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Brother!"
Chu Yunxin rushed to Long Lin, opening the iron cage and taking out the little sea serpent demon.
Long Lin glanced at Fan Ren and said, "Your disciple's life is yours!"
With that, he put away the Frostfire Spirit Iron Rifle bayonet and released Mu Ye.
Mu Ye rushed to Fan Ren's side and hurriedly knelt down, saying, "Master, this disciple is unfilial, causing the sect to suffer such humiliation!"
Fan Ren coldly glanced at Long Lin and Chu Yunxin, who had retreated to the pier, and suddenly smiled mysteriously, "Mu Ye, our Left Sword Sect is not so easily bullied!"
Just then, two rows of white-robed disciples rushed out from the side of the mountain road, each wielding a sharp sword, and surrounded Long Lin and Chu Yunxin.
Long Lin glanced at the suddenly appearing crowd, licked his lips dismissively, and slowly turned to face Fan Ren, Mu Ye, and the others on the opposite side of the pier: "Fan Ren, is this how your Left Sword Sect behaves?"
"Hahaha..."
Fan Ren laughed wildly, saying, "That's right, our Left Sword Sect has only one principle: to achieve our goals, we'll stop at nothing!" He added, "Leave that sea serpent beast behind, and you can leave! My eldest disciple, Mu Du, didn't die in vain at your hands!"
"Brother..."
Chu Yunxin tightly gripped Long Lin's hand.
Long Lin sneered, saying, "Fan Ren, regarding Mu Du's death, I said that those who deceive my closest relatives should die. His death was not unjust!"
"Good! Good!"
Fan Ren gritted his teeth and uttered two "good"s, a flash of ferocity in his eyes. He
then swung his hand and shouted, "Kill!" With a furious roar, the group of white-robed disciples surged forward. However, their actions were not individual battles, but rather they formed an extremely strange and impenetrable formation.
Long Lin, of course, didn't care. He sneered, pulled the trigger of his rifle bayonet, and fired the first bullet without hesitation.
"Bang!"
The crimson bullet whistled out of the barrel and then exploded with a bang at the point where several sword lights converged. Two of the weaker white-robed disciples were sent flying backward, staggering and barely managing to stand.
A cold killing intent flashed in Han Long's eyes. He hadn't expected that this small formation would actually block his magical rifle bullet.
"Long Lin, although you are powerful, you cannot break my Condensing Mist Sword Formation! Leave the sea serpent demon beast behind, and I might spare you!"
At this moment, Fan Ren had already led Mu Du across the pier and joined the sword formation. With Fan Ren personally leading the formation, the sword array became even more powerful. Dozens of sword lights condensed together, as sharp as frost, their blade energy sending chills down one's spine.
"What a fine Mist Condensation Sword Array!"
Long Lin coldly chuckled, lightly flicking his bayonet, a crimson light flashing past him. "Those who dare to defy me at my most critical moment, die! Those who block my path, die!"
His eyes were filled with murderous intent. Just as the last word "die" escaped his lips, he made his move. His body flickered and vanished.
Fan Ren's massive sword array now only targeted Chu Yunxin and the little sea serpent demon beast.
"Not good! Sword array counter-attack!"
Fan Ren cried out in alarm, hastily giving the order. Instantly, more than twenty sword lights scattered backward like celestial maidens, the white-robed disciples flipping in mid-air, already wielding their swords outward.
But Fan Ren was still a step too slow. Several screams rang out, and with a series of flashes of golden light, blood flew everywhere. Five disciples fell dead, blood blossoming from their throats.
This Mist Condensation Sword Formation was a sword formation that Fan Ren had developed through three years of seclusion, specifically designed to counter the Right Sword Sect. He had originally intended to test its power against Long Lin.
However, he never expected that in just two moves, five disciples would be lost within the formation. Long Lin's movement technique was simply too fast, as fast as a ghost.
"Hmph, whether you're an immortal or a ghost, I will make you perish by my sword!"
Fan Ren frowned slightly, shouting hatefully. As he spoke, his body spun rapidly, and the sword in his hand flew up like a bright moon, its radiant light instantly enveloping the surrounding area within a ten-zhang radius.
"Moon Pierces the Mist!"
Fan Ren's body soared into the air, his sword transforming into a crescent moon in mid-air, its light dazzling. His sword's edge had already covered the surrounding area; no one could escape.
With a crisp crack, a chilling sensation suddenly pierced the back of his head.
Before him, the other five white-robed disciples had also collapsed to the ground after the flash of golden light. Among them was his prized disciple, Mu Ye.
"Ah!"
A surge of anger ignited in Fan Ren's chest. He had clearly underestimated the strength of this outsider named Long Lin. This was a mistake he had made, a mistake that could destroy his entire Left Sword Sect.
*Swoosh*...
The rifle bayonet pierced through Fan Ren's chest, blood dripping down the muzzle. Fan Ren stared in disbelief at the silver-white barrel protruding from his chest, turning his head and opening his mouth.
He wanted to say something, but it was too late. The other's face began to blur in his eyes, a cold smile lingering in the blur.
Behind that smiling face, the bodies of his other ten disciples also collapsed.
"Left Sword Sect, vanish!"
Long Lin withdrew his rifle bayonet, gazing at the inscription "The mountain is heartless, but man is compassionate" on the cliff, and murmured. Heartless, compassionate—wasn't it all just a thought away?
"Brother..."
Chu Yunxin said in a trembling voice, her face pale, perhaps from shock. The little sea serpent demon, however, seemed to have smelled blood and struggled excitedly in Chu Yunxin's arms, occasionally letting out a high-pitched cry.
"Xin'er, let's go! Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt in the slightest!"
Long Lin embraced Xin'er, looking at her fair, delicate face.
"Mmm!"
Chu Yunxin nestled her head against Long Lin's chest, feeling the warmth emanating from it. For so many days, Long Lin had treated her and her brother as siblings, never showing any intimacy. This was the closest they had ever been, even though the surrounding area was stained with blood, she didn't want to let it go.
"Xin'er, let's go!"
Long Lin said again, taking Chu Yunxin's hand and walking outside. He knew that the Left Sword Sect of the Mist Sail Sword Clan no longer existed in Mist Sail City. But he had inevitably become the enemy of the entire Mist Sail City. It wasn't fear, but rather that if a real conflict broke out, the entire Misty Sail Island might not be enough for Long Lin and Qin Hun to kill. Moreover, he had another worry:
the Five-Colored Phoenix Chick he had left guarding the ebony boat.

Chapter 172 Snake Clan Crisis
Update Time: 8-14 12:58:38 Words: 3610

Long Lin and Chu Yunxin returned from the back mountain, swiftly slaughtering several remaining Left Sword Sect disciples along the way. Just as they reached the hall door, a gray shadow flashed at the corner. Long Lin's eyes narrowed, and in a flash, a sword was pressed against the man's throat.
"Great hero, spare my life! I'm not from here!"
The man was dressed in coarse gray clothes, his attire certainly not that of a Misty Sail Sword Sect disciple, and his accent was extremely familiar to Long Lin—it was the accent of the Great Qin.
"Who is that?"
Long Lin slowly withdrew the Autumn Water Sword he had taken from Mu Ye, coldly asking.
"Reporting to you, sir, my name is Lu Yang, and I am from the Great Qin Kingdom. Three years ago, I encountered a storm at sea and unexpectedly drifted here. Later, I was captured and forced to work as a forger in sword making,"
the man hurriedly replied, beads of sweat already forming on his face, showing extreme nervousness.
"Sword making?"
Long Lin suddenly pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is their sword-making place? Take me there!" If he hadn't met Lu Yang, Long Lin might not have remembered this matter. However, Lu Yang's unexpected reminder made him suddenly recall it.
Although the swordsmanship of the Mist Sail Sword Sect wasn't particularly impressive, the swords they wielded were all exquisite and sharp blades, far superior to the weapons of the Great Qin Empire.
"Alright! Follow me, sir!"
Lu Yang quickly agreed. He immediately got up and led Long Lin along the corridor to the back. Turning a small door, they came to a small valley, where a row of three stone furnaces, each more than two people tall, stood. The furnace roared with heat, melting iron, and there were many forging tools.
"Great hero, this is where the Left Sword Sect forges swords!"
Lu Yang said.
Long Lin nodded, glancing around. He was the patriarch of metallurgy and iron smelting, and a glance was enough to tell the quality of these things. He couldn't help but secretly admire how far superior they were to the Great Qin Empire. Although he was an alchemist, he could only forge magical artifacts, and even then, only precious artifacts. The task of mass-producing weapons was naturally not his.
He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked Lu Yang, "Lu Yang, have you mastered the sword-making techniques here?"
Lu Yang blinked, bowed, and replied, "Reporting to you, great hero, I have worked here for three years and have mastered the sword-making techniques."
Long Lin nodded, then looked Lu Yang over and said, "Do you want to return to the Great Qin?"
"Of course I do! Please grant my request, great hero!"
Lu Yang was both surprised and delighted upon hearing Long Lin's words, and immediately knelt down to thank him.
"I can take you back to the Great Qin, but you must follow my arrangements after we return!"
Long Lin glanced at Lu Yang and said.
Lu Yang naturally agreed. He had suffered a lot of grievances on this unfamiliar island for the past three years, and immediately said, "As long as you take me back to my homeland, my life is yours!"
"Alright, pack your things and come with me!"
Long Lin said directly.
Lu Yang hurriedly agreed, quickly packed his things, and followed Long Lin out of the Left Sword Sect of the Misty Sail Sword Clan.
Looking back at the plaque above the gate that read "Left Sword Sect," Long Lin couldn't help but shake his head. With the Left Sword Sect disappearing from this island, the Demon Beast Tournament of the Mist Sail Sword Sect tomorrow would surely be quite a spectacle. However, he had no interest in participating.
Therefore, when the Mist Sail Sword Sect's gatekeeper arrived with his men, Long Lin, Chu Yunxin, and Lu Yang had already boarded the ebony boat and sailed towards the distant sea.
Waves rolled outwards, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the sea, shimmering like gold.
The little sea snake, somewhat excited, broke free from Chu Yunxin's embrace and jumped into the water, swimming happily around the boat, its red horn flashing.
At this moment, the phoenix chick flying in front of the ebony boat also chirped joyfully twice, greatly surprising Lu Yang, who felt an even greater sense of respect for Long Lin.
"Xin'er, what are they saying?"
Long Lin stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the ship, gazing at the golden waves, and turned to ask Chu Yunxin. He suddenly felt that having Chu Yunxin around was so much more convenient; he could actually understand what these demonic beasts were saying.
Just as they returned, the five-colored phoenix chick was indeed waiting for them.
"Little Gray is calling to its clansmen. It wants to warn its clansmen to stay away from this Misty Sail Island in the future." Chu Yunxin smiled slightly and said, "This little guy is quite timid!"
Long Lin smiled slightly and said, "The disciples of the Misty Sail Sword Sect do need to be careful when they go around capturing demonic beasts. Although Little Gray is young, it has quite the air of a king."
Chu Yunxin spoke a few words to the little sea serpent demonic beast in a strange voice, and the little sea serpent demonic beast immediately hissed a few times, seemingly thanking Long Lin.
Chu Yunxin glanced tenderly at Long Lin and smiled, "I told Little Grey you were praising it, and it's thanking you!"
Long Lin chuckled, thinking that this demon beast had added a lot of fun to this lonely sea voyage. Suddenly, the five-colored fledgling phoenix flying in mid-air cried out a few more times before asking Chu Yunxin, "What did it say? Can you understand it?"
"Of course!"
Chu Yunxin said proudly, but blinked her big eyes and said, "It's all five-colored, so let's call it Little Rainbow! Little Rainbow said you only praised the little sea snake and not it, and it's a little unhappy!"
Long Lin laughed heartily, "Who said I didn't praise you... Little Rainbow can breathe red flames, it's quite powerful!"
The five-colored fledgling phoenix, flattered by the praise, cried out twice and flew happily.
Just then, a rumbling sound came from afar, and a dozen huge sea snake demon beasts broke through the waves and swam towards them.
Upon seeing the enormous sea serpent, the five-colored phoenix chick immediately let out a shriek, its feathers standing on end as if facing a formidable enemy, standing guard at the bow of the ebony boat.
"It says we're in danger, be careful!"
Chu Yunxin, understanding the meaning behind its cry, quickly translated to Long Lin.
Long Lin chuckled and turned to look at the little sea serpent demon. The little sea serpent demon also excitedly swam forward, emitting low growls.
"Little Gray says it's alright, these are his sea serpent clan members!"
Chu Yunxin added, immediately reassuring the five-colored phoenix chick not to be nervous, as they were friends, not enemies. Although the five-colored phoenix chick lowered its feathers, no longer appearing as if facing a formidable enemy, it still circled around, unwilling to retreat, clearly still somewhat uneasy about these sea serpent demons.
"I wonder if the sea serpent clan's rebellion has been quelled?"
Long Lin murmured, glancing at Chu Yunxin, who smiled slightly, remaining noncommittal.
As they spoke, the enormous sea serpent beasts approached the ebony ship. Their round heads and huge nostrils floated on the surface of the sea, spewing mist that obscured everyone's vision.
"Woo..."
One of the sea serpents nodded towards the ebony ship and let out a soft roar.
At this moment, the little sea serpent beast had already swum happily to the front. It lay on the surface of the sea, looking at the sea serpent beast, and let out a low growl.
As the red horns on the little sea serpent beast's head flashed with a crystalline red light, the roars of the sea serpent beasts continued to rise. Finally, the little sea serpent beast let out a soft growl, and the sea beasts gradually retreated.
"Xin'er, what happened?"
Long Lin asked Chu Yunxin. He had noticed that Chu Yunxin's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she listened to Xiao Hui and the large sea serpent beast's conversation.
"The sea serpent people said that they have defeated Xiduo's rebellion," Chu Yunxin said.
Long Lin couldn't help but smile: "This is good news! Why are you looking so gloomy!"
Chu Yunxin took a breath and said again, "But, Xiduo escaped, and he stole the Sea Serpent Clan's most precious treasure, the Sea Demon Cauldron."
"The Sea Demon Cauldron?"
Long Lin was taken aback. He seemed to have heard of this thing somewhere before. Suddenly, he remembered that the treasure-hunting record he had taken from the fox demon seemed to contain the Sea Demon Cauldron. Legend has it that this was one of the nine cauldrons created by King Yu, and it was an extremely powerful treasure.
Could it be that the Sea Demon Cauldron, which was on par with the Sea King Cauldron, was in the Sea Serpent Clan? No wonder the power of the Sea Serpent Beasts in this sea was unimaginable.
When Yu unified the world, he created nine cauldrons to suppress the four seas, and they were divided into three categories: humans, immortals, and demons, with three cauldrons for each category. Among the human cauldrons is the Emperor Cauldron, the one Qing'er took to Greenwood Island after suppressing her, and two others, the People's Cauldron and the Woman's Cauldron; among the immortal cauldrons are the Celestial Immortal Cauldron, the Earthly Immortal Cauldron, and the Sea Immortal Cauldron; among the demon cauldrons are the Celestial Demon Cauldron, the Earthly Demon Cauldron, and the Sea Demon Cauldron. The Celestial Immortal Cauldron and the Woman's Cauldron are on Qirang Mountain, used by the Qin Emperor for sacrificial rites to Heaven, while the rest are scattered in various places, their whereabouts unknown. The Qin Emperor, possessing these three cauldrons, would gain control of the world. However, Long Lin has always suspected that the Myriad Demon Evil Cauldron he took from the fox demon is the Earthly Immortal Cauldron forged by Emperor Yu. Now that a Sea Demon Cauldron has appeared, he couldn't help but take it seriously back then.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Chu Yunxin asked softly when she saw Long Lin lost in thought.
Long Lin quickly smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered something! By the way, the Sea Demon Cauldron is a sacred object of the Sea Serpent Clan, it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of that Xiduo Sea Serpent. Where did Xiduo Sea Serpent escape to?"
Chu Yunxin shook her head and said, "These Sea Serpent Clan members said that after Xiduo stole the Sea Demon Cauldron, he disappeared and they can't find it!"
"How can this be? We must find this guy and take back the Sea Demon Cauldron!" Long Lin gritted his teeth and said.
"Woo...woo..."
At this moment, the little sea serpent suddenly cried out twice towards Long Lin.
Chu Yunxin smiled and said, "Little Grey said that as long as you can help the Sea Serpent Clan retrieve the Sea Demon Cauldron, you'll be their benefactor!"
Long Lin smiled knowingly and said, "No need to thank me, don't worry!" He was just afraid that if the Sea Demon Cauldron fell into the hands of those evil demon beasts, it might cause a catastrophe.
"However, where can we find that sea serpent demon beast named Xiduo now?" Chu Yunxin frowned slightly and said worriedly. She was the contracted master of this little sea serpent, which meant she was also the master of the Sea Serpent Clan, so of course she had to help them overcome this crisis without hesitation.
Long Lin couldn't help but click his tongue. They were far less familiar with the sea than that sea serpent, and even the Sea Serpent Clan couldn't find its whereabouts. How could they possibly find it? Without finding that evil sea serpent, retrieving the Sea Demon Cauldron was just empty talk.
"Ask Little Grey if there are any forbidden areas in the sea that the sea serpents dare not go to!"
Long Lin pondered for a moment and said to Chu Yunxin. Given the situation of that Xiduo sea serpent, it probably can't stay in the sea any longer and must be fleeing to a place that ordinary sea serpents dare not go.
Chu Yunxin nodded and said something to the little sea serpent. The little sea serpent circled in the water for a moment before calling out twice.
"Demon Valley! Little Gray said that's the only place sea serpents dare not go, because to get there you have to cross an icy sea passage. The water there is extremely cold; ordinary sea serpents would freeze to death, and even powerful sea serpent demons dare not approach easily,"
Chu Yunxin said.
Long Lin pondered for a moment and said, "That's it. Xiduo must have taken a huge risk."
The little sea serpent then called out twice more. Chu Yunxin said, "But how can we go there?"
"Yes!" Long Lin also sighed. If sea serpent demons dare not go, how can they go?
At this moment, the phoenix chick that had been circling above the ebony boat suddenly chirped joyfully twice. Chu Yunxin's face immediately lit up with surprise, and she exclaimed, "Little Phoenix says it can take us there!"
"Really?" Long Lin was also delighted.
Chu Yunxin nodded, "Yes, but it requires us to go with it to see its mother and say goodbye before it can go."

Chapter 173 Phoenix Island
Update Time: 8-15 8:26:02 Words: 3399

The ebony boat moved forward, with the five-colored phoenix flying in front to guide the way.
Piercing through the twilight mist at sea, they greeted the rising sun on the golden-scaled horizon. In the distance, they saw the island, as green as jade.
"Chirp chirp..."
The five-colored phoenix chirped joyfully towards the island. Chu Yunxin smiled and said to Long Lin, "Little Rainbow Phoenix says that Luanfeng Island is just ahead."
"What a magnificent Luanfeng Island!"
Long Lin stood up from the deck, gazing at the jade-like island, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Just as the ebony boat was about to approach the island, suddenly, a dazzling array of seven-colored light shone from the island, dazzling the eye. Then, several beams of light shot towards them like shooting stars. The seven-colored light, like a rainbow in the sky, instantly covered the front of the ebony boat.
Four identical giant phoenixes stopped in front, urgently calling out several times in the direction the ebony boat had come from.
"Brother, these phoenixes are warning us not to go any further!"
Chu Yunxin said.
Long Lin smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, with Little Rainbow Phoenix here, this little matter will be resolved quickly!"
Sure enough, Little Rainbow Phoenix flew up, reaching the same height as the four giant phoenixes, and cried out sharply several times. The four phoenixes' imposing aura immediately weakened, and they whispered a few times to Little Rainbow Phoenix.
Chu Yunxin beamed, "So this little phoenix has quite a high status on Luanfeng Island, she seems to be some kind of princess!"
Long Lin chuckled, "Its mother is the real protagonist; we might be in some trouble later." Although he didn't understand the language of demonic beasts, he could tell that the little phoenix's aura was far superior to that of the other seven-colored phoenixes. However, the more he saw this, the more worried he became. What if its mother, the old phoenix, wouldn't let it go to sea with him? That would be troublesome.
"Why?"
Chu Yunxin looked at Long Lin in surprise, wondering what trouble he meant.
"We'll find out soon enough!" Long Lin said, secretly muttering to himself, "I hope I'm just being paranoid."
"Chirp chirp..." The
five-colored fledgling phoenix turned its head and called to Long Lin and the others. At this moment, the four seven-colored phoenixes had already turned and flown back towards the island.
"Brother, let's go, the little phoenix is calling us!" Chu Yunxin replied.
Long Lin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go, to the island!"
The ebony boat stopped on a beach outside Luanfeng Island. Long Lin asked Lu Yang to stay and watch the boat, while he and Chu Yunxin took the little sea snake demon beast and went ashore.
At this moment, the little colorful phoenix suddenly cried out twice, and immediately two seven-colored flying phoenixes flew over and landed on the ground.
"Brother, the little colorful phoenixes want us to go up!"
Chu Yunxin said with a smile.
Long Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Luanfeng Island is quite hospitable, they won't make us climb mountains!"
Sitting on the broad back of the seven-colored flying phoenixes was very comfortable. The colorful phoenixes flew very steadily, and in just a short while, they had reached the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, there was a huge tree. The little colorful phoenix said that it was called the Fusang Tree, and it was the largest tree in the entire East Sea.
The tree was towering, with lush and verdant branches and leaves, and countless tree holes that could be squeezed into. Even with Long Lin's skill, it would be extremely difficult to climb up.
The Fusang tree resembled a giant umbrella, and at its apex, nine rays of light enveloped a colossal nine-colored phoenix, over twenty zhang long.
The seven-colored phoenix, carrying Long Lin and the others, circled and flew straight towards the treetop.
Suddenly, a clear cry rang out from the treetop, its sound shattering the clouds and shaking the heavens.
The little phoenix cried out joyfully, quickening its pace to fly up and perching beside the giant phoenix's wings, chirping affectionately at the Phoenix King.
"So this little phoenix's mother is actually the Queen of Luanfeng Island!"
Chu Yunxin's eyes lit up as she said to Long Lin.
Long Lin nodded, smiling silently, but inwardly he worried that the Phoenix King might prevent the little phoenix from going to the Demon Valley with them.
"My two children, my son said he would send you to the Demon Valley, is that true?"
The Phoenix King suddenly lowered its head and asked Long Lin and Chu Yunxin.
Long Lin was startled; the Phoenix King could speak human language?
"You two need not be surprised. I have lived for ten thousand years now, and human language is actually quite easy to learn, isn't it?" the Phoenix King suddenly said.
"Of course! Senior is right. Little Rainbow Phoenix promised to send us to the Demon Valley."
Long Lin smiled.
"Hmm!"
The Phoenix King nodded. "The Demon Valley is an extremely dangerous place. I wonder what abilities you have that can guarantee your return from there?"
Long Lin smiled bitterly to himself. As expected, he had guessed correctly. If he couldn't produce a method that would convince the Phoenix King, it would be difficult to get Little Rainbow Phoenix to send them.
At this moment, Chu Yunxin smiled slightly and spoke a few words to the Phoenix King in a strange language. The Phoenix King looked at the lovely little girl in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to understand our language. A human beast master is a powerful figure, and their status among humans is extremely respected. However, beast masters are often easily led astray..."
The little colorful phoenix cried out a few times in dissatisfaction. Chu Yunxin knew it was defending her, so she smiled slightly and said, "What you say is very true, senior. Just as we arrived, we encountered an evil beast master, but he was defeated by my brother, who also saved this little guy." As she spoke, she pointed to the little sea snake in her arms and said, "It's this one, the sea snake Little Gray."
"Oh!"
When the Phoenix King saw the little sea snake, a strange light flashed in his eyes. At this moment, the little sea snake also felt the Phoenix King's gaze and hissed twice.
However, the Phoenix King didn't say anything to it, but turned to Long Lin and said, "Young friend, you were able to defeat the Beast Master, you must be no ordinary person!"
Long Lin smiled slightly and said, "Senior, you flatter me, it was just good luck."
"How modest!"
The Phoenix King nodded, its voice full of praise and affection. However, suddenly its left wing flapped slightly. At this moment, the five-colored fledgling phoenix cried out in surprise.
"Brother, be careful!"
Chu Yunxin was also startled and suddenly shouted.
Just then, Long Lin suddenly felt an extremely strong force surging towards him. That force was completely silent, colorless, and lightless, as if it appeared out of thin air from his chest. In the instant that force reached his chest, his true energy was already circulating, and his whole body suddenly emitted a crimson light. His body also leaped into the air from the back of the seven-colored flying phoenix with a flash of light.
At this moment, his palms shot forward, and the two balls of crimson true energy merged into one, exploding with a deafening roar in front of him. Long Lin somersaulted several times in mid-air before landing back on the back of the Seven-Colored Flying Phoenix.
The attack had come too suddenly. Although he had successfully dodged it, he was covered in cold sweat, and his internal energy was uneven. He adjusted his breathing slightly and said, "Thank you for your mercy, senior."
He naturally knew that the Phoenix King had only casually swept his hand and had not used his full strength. If they had fought with all their might, he would probably have been reduced to ashes by now.
"Good, little friend, your skill is indeed impressive! If I'm not mistaken, you must have some special connection with the Azure Emperor, right?"
The Phoenix King nodded.
"To be honest, senior, the Azure Emperor is my mentor!"
Long Lin said. He thought to himself, this Phoenix King is indeed extraordinary; he could see through the origin of his cultivation technique at a glance. However, he knew that if they were to truly fight, he wouldn't be weaker than this; his Qin Soul clone's power was no less than his own.
"Hmm, alright! Since that's the case, I'll agree to let my son go with you for a while, it'll be good for him to gain some experience!"
said the Phoenix King.
Seeing its mother agree, the little colorful phoenix nuzzled affectionately against the Phoenix King's wings, chirping happily a few times.
"Thank you, senior! I will definitely protect the little colorful phoenix and ensure it doesn't suffer any harm!"
Long Lin and Chu Yunxin exchanged a smiling glance and said.
"Hmm... Don't linger after you finish your business in the Demon Sea Valley, return as soon as possible!"
the Phoenix King instructed again.
Long Lin agreed, but then remembered something else. The Ten Beauties of Dangshan were still on Qingmu Island, and he hadn't found the Resurrection Grass in the East Sea. The Phoenix King had lived in the East Sea for many years and might know its whereabouts. So he bowed and asked, "Senior Phoenix, I have another request."
"What is it? Speak freely!"
the Phoenix King said, her eyes smiling as she looked at Long Lin.
Long Lin said, "Senior, you may not know, but this time I have traveled thousands of miles on a raft to find a spiritual herb to save someone."
"Oh, what spiritual herb? There are countless spiritual herbs and rare medicines in the East Sea, and I know a great deal about them. But if I do know something, I certainly won't let you leave empty-handed,"
the Phoenix King said. She had lived in the East Sea for tens of thousands of years, her footprints covering almost every inch of the islands and every sea area. If she didn't know a spiritual herb or rare medicine, then perhaps no one else in the East Sea knew about it. Of course, this excludes the three immortal mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, which are originally part of the spirit realm. Moreover, although those three immortal mountains are also in the East Sea, they are not in the same realm as this mortal world; without immense fortune, it is impossible to enter.
"Senior, do you know of a spiritual herb called the Rejuvenating Grass?"
Long Lin wanted to try his luck. If the Phoenix King knew its whereabouts, he would be overjoyed; if not, he would have to find another way. He then asked aloud. Upon
hearing the name of the Rejuvenating Grass, the Phoenix King chuckled and said, "I thought it was some rare and difficult-to-find herb, but it's the Rejuvenating Grass. You don't need to look elsewhere; it's right here on my Phoenix Island."
Long Lin was overjoyed. It was truly a case of finding something without effort, and with the Rejuvenating Grass, he could save the Ten Beauties of Dangshan without worry. He could then peacefully go to the Demon Valley to retrieve the Sea Demon Cauldron for the Sea Serpent Clan.
"Long Lin, how many of these Rejuvenating Grasses do you need? I'll send someone to gather them right away!"
said the Phoenix King.
"Thank you, Senior. I have ten friends who are seriously injured, and we need ten Rejuvenating Grasses in total. I wonder if this is too much trouble for you?"
Long Lin asked tentatively. Although the Phoenix King spoke lightly, he knew that Rejuvenating Grass was an extremely rare spiritual herb, and he wondered if the Phoenix King could provide so many.
"Hmm, ten is a lot, but since you are a disciple of the Azure Emperor, my generosity is not in vain!" The Phoenix King pondered for a moment and then said to the Five-Colored Phoenix Hatchling, "My son, gather ten Rejuvenating Grasses from the island and give them to Long Lin."
"Thank you, Senior! I don't know how to repay your great kindness!"
Long Lin hurriedly thanked him.
The Five-Colored Phoenix Hatchling had already agreed and flew away.
The Phoenix King nodded and said, "Long Lin, there's no need to be so polite. I had met the Azure Emperor several times in the past; these mere ten Rejuvenating Grasses are nothing to me."
