Chapter 1076 - 358: Vessel_2

The Si Family once secretly hunted down a large number of Martial Artists to cultivate the Nether Ice Flame, resulting in an irreconcilable grudge with the Martial Alliance.

Later.

The Alliance Leader of the Martial Alliance invited a powerful figure from the Wei Family to mediate, allowing this matter to be put aside, and made the Si Family promise not to harm the Martial Alliance’s Martial Artists.

But the grudge had been forged.

And faced with Martial Artists, such premium vessels, the Si Family could not possibly let go.

On the surface, they didn’t dare to make a move, but secret maneuvers were endless.

Since they couldn’t harm the Martial Artists directly, using the corpses of Martial Artists killed by others was entirely acceptable.

As long as it wasn’t the Si Family’s cultivators doing the deed.

The room for manipulation was vast indeed.

This is the world of cultivators.

A cruel world of survival of the fittest.

"You’re joking, Mr. Xiao just now I didn’t do anything."

Lin Zheyu smiled, blinked his eyes, and shrugged innocently.

Feeling Si Tianyun’s fiery gaze, Lin Zheyu turned his head toward Si Tianyun and smiled warmly.

"Hehe..."

Si Tianyun, upon seeing Lin Zheyu looking at him, grinned broadly.

"Really? Then perhaps I was mistaken." Mo Qingyang chuckled.

"I wish you all a successful journey. I just arrived and need to visit the Martial Alliance’s friends and Mr. Wa, so I’ll make my departure first."

Lin Zheyu gave a nod of farewell and left side by side with Zong Linjing.

Watching the two leave, everyone’s eyes went unreadable.

Yao Lang watched Lin Zheyu’s departing figure with a hint of heaviness in his gaze.

Although no real action occurred, he indeed felt the terrifying presence of the Martial Alliance’s Xiao Yu.

If, earlier, Xiao Yu had struck with deadly intent, while his life wouldn’t have been taken, severe injury would have been inevitable.

"The Martial Alliance has produced another extraordinary talent!"

"As the saying goes, the circumstances give rise to heroes; perhaps in this great calamity, this young man might truly carve out a path for the Martial Dao."

A man with a folding fan, looking every inch the graceful young master, sighed as he watched Lin Zheyu’s departing figure.

"I’ve heard he’s awakened a spirit Divine Technique, likely a perception-based spirit Divine Technique."

"If Mr. Xiao were to join our mission, our operations would be significantly smoother."

A woman with a cold temperament spoke unemotionally.

She had a cold aura, her eyes sharp like a drawn longsword, emitting a chilling aura that made people shiver.

She was none other than Mu Jianying, who earlier in the hall perceived Lin Zheyu’s secret gaze.

"I quite agree, but sadly, Mr. Xiao isn’t interested in this mission." Mo Qingyang said regretfully.

"How about Mr. Mu tries to persuade Mr. Xiao?" Si Tianyun suggested with a slight smile.

"Ha!"

"Mr. Si is playing a clever game indeed."

Yao Lang looked at Si Tianyun and sneered.

Although he feels unfair towards the Martial Alliance’s Martial Artists, his main grievance is for his sister, and he holds no grudge against the Martial Alliance.

Whereas Si Tianyun, hehe...

The cultivators present all had prominent backgrounds and were well-aware of the Si Family’s cultivation techniques and their past actions.

Si Tianyun’s suggestion had motives as clear as day.

"You misunderstand me, I also believe that with Mr. Xiao’s participation, the mission would be smoother."

Si Tianyun said with a slight smile.

Yao Lang chuckled, clearly not believing him.

.....

Lin Zheyu had just arrived at this base and was brought here to attend a meeting without registering yet.

However, registration is merely a formality.

Led by Zong Linjing, Lin Zheyu registered his information, received a token for entry and exit of the City Defense Array, and was assigned quarters.

The Martial Alliance cultivators’ living quarters were assigned together.

"That is Mr. Wa’s residence over there."

Zong Linjing pointed at a nearby courtyard and introduced.

In the Martial Alliance’s living area, most places were empty, with only a few Martial Artists here and there.

Originally, the Martial Alliance’s Martial Artists took turns guarding the areas under their responsibility.

But due to a manpower shortage earlier, the Martial Alliance’s Martial Artists had barely gotten any rest.

Luckily, Martial Artists had strong bodies and abundant life force, able to endure for short periods.

"Now is Mr. Wa’s guarding time, and he’s been on duty for over six months."

"Once you get used to here, we’ll take over guarding so Mr. Wa can come back to rest."

Zong Linjing said.

She didn’t partake in the earlier action, as Mr. Wa Zhengtian’s share was significant.

The Martial Alliance was short-handed, lacking strong figures to stabilize the situation, so Mr. Wa Zhengtian spent most of his time guarding the front to deal with emergencies.

And now.

Lin Zheyu and Zong Linjing had arrived.

With two Shackled Realm Martial Artists simultaneously guarding, in case of danger, they could delay briefly, awaiting reinforcements.

"Tomorrow, let’s head over."

Lin Zheyu nodded and suggested.

Aside from performing tasks, guarding and hunting demons, he had nothing else to do.

The depths of the demon den were incredibly dangerous, with barely anyone in the whole town, extremely desolate.

The town had few entertainment venues, with nothing much to do aside from cultivation in daily life.

This is why those Golden Core experts gathered together to plan a counterattack into the Demon Realm.

For them, it’s one of the few entertaining activities they have.

"Alright, tomorrow then." Zong Linjing agreed.
