CHAPTER 866: CHAPTER 866: DEMON SECT

At this moment, Ling Chen’s eyes were blood-red, and a terrifying killing intent emanated from his body.

He finally recalled the black spiritual power aura on Ye Jingyu.

It’s demonic power!

Back then, when he killed Xia Jiuyou, the latter also had this aura.

However, the aura on Ye Jingyu was extremely faint.

So, Ye Jingyu was also a Demon Cultivator!

It was precisely because of this that his father, Ling Tianxing, was trapped for over a decade.

Suffering the hardships of the world.

At this moment, the painful memory resurfaced, and Ling Chen’s thirst for blood was instantly provoked.

Although Ye Jingyu had one-tenth of Heaven and Earth Power as protection, Ling Chen used the advantage of the Mystic Sword combined with the World Power of the Perfect World and his Sword Dao to directly pierce through the Heaven and Earth Power.

Slaying Ye Jingyu beneath his sword.

Of course, Ling Chen appeared behind Ye Jingyu due to the Void Concealment Technique.

Unlike how Emperor Realm experts enter the void, Ling Chen utilized the Void Power.

Perfectly in harmony with the void.

While Emperor Realm experts use their Heaven and Earth Power to break into the void, they must first tear through space.

That was the very process.

This was the very reason behind Ye Jingyu’s death.

In the clash of masters, the slightest deviation can lead to a huge mistake.

Because Ling Chen was completely merged into the void.

After entering the void, relying on the Heaven and Earth Power, Ling Chen moved through the void, then appeared in the void beside Ye Jingyu before revealing himself again.

And to everyone’s shock, he appeared behind Ye Jingyu.

Thus, unexpectedly, he killed Ye Jingyu with a single sword strike.

After slaying Ye Jingyu, Ling Chen finally snapped out of the killing frenzy.

With a casual wave of his hand, he collected Ye Jingyu’s corpse into his inner world.

An Emperor Realm expert’s body must have many treasures.

"Ye Jingyu is dead?"

Emperor Haotian reacted first, instantly appearing in front of Ling Chen, staring at him with excitement.

A Quasi-Emperor killing an Emperor was almost unprecedented.

Throughout endless ages, those who could achieve this were almost all great powers from the ancient times.

The most recent was Sword Immortal Li Taibai!

He was also the ancestor of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan!

And now, Ling Chen managed to accomplish such a feat, it was truly astonishing!

"Dead."

Ling Chen nodded.

His expression did not show much excitement.

Killing a Demon Cultivator for him, anger far outweighed excitement.

"Did Young Master Ling really slay an Emperor?"

"Oh heavens, am I dreaming? A Quasi-Emperor killed an Emperor?"

"How is this possible?"

...

The cultivators discussed fervently.

The shock was evident in their eyes.

Emperors are considered to be above non-Emperors, it’s almost a law.

Yet, Ling Chen broke this law completely.

How could they not find it unbelievable?

The remaining four Immortal Platform Emperors involuntarily stepped back a few steps.

Feeling that approaching Ling Chen was too dangerous.

This Ling Chen is simply insane!

An Emperor was killed so straightforwardly.

No one even had time to react.

In their duel, from Ling Chen starting at a disadvantage, to reversing it by severely injuring Ye Jingyu, and then finally killing him.

All of this was simply unfathomable.

Even now, they couldn’t understand how Ling Chen managed it?

Li Qiushui and Li Changtian were utterly bewildered.

They felt like they were of a different clan from Ling Chen.

Ling Chen even killed an Emperor, whereas they were utterly at the mercy of Emperors.

The gap was monumental!

Zhou Long felt like he was still dreaming.

The young man he had met by chance turned out to be a peerless prodigy!

Previously, Ling Chen’s fight with Li Qiushui was enough to astound him.

But now, Ling Chen actually slew an Emperor!

What kind of unparalleled brilliance is this!

Even the prodigies cultivated by the Green Lotus Ancient Clan might not be able to achieve this.

"Check to see if there is the Devouring Sky Demon Technique spiritual technique in his inner world?"

Emperor Haotian asked.

Earlier, he also sensed a hint of a Demon Sect Cultivator’s aura.

Ling Chen immediately searched.

Quickly, a simple, ancient book appeared in Ling Chen’s palm.

"Yes, there is."

Ling Chen said.

"Indeed, this person is from the Demon Sect!"

Emperor Haotian’s expression turned cold.

His Green Lotus Ancient Clan, standing in Zhongzhou.

Almost no force dared to challenge them.

But these forces did not include the Demon Sect.

No wonder this person kept provoking Ling Chen into action, turned out he was a remnant of the Demon Sect!

"Demon Sect?"

Ling Chen had never heard of this name.

If it’s not one of the Eight Heavenly Sects, could it be the top sect in Zhongzhou?

Emperor Haotian glanced at Ling Chen, saying, "I’ll explain it to you later. This spiritual technique, I’ll take it away, it’s too dangerous for you to have it."

"Mm."

Ling Chen nodded lightly.

He didn’t need the spiritual technique.

Emperor Haotian spoke loudly, "Ling Chen and Ye Jingyu sparred, and with the weak defeating the strong, Ye Jingyu fell. I also feel it is a pity. But this is the brutality of being a cultivator."

"The Immortal Platform event will continue. You may continue to exchange insights on Sword Dao. Spar if you must. But keep it moderate."

Then, Emperor Haotian took Ling Chen, Li Qiushui, and Li Changtian away from the Immortal Platform.

...

Somewhere in the void.

Nothing seemed to be present.

Emperor Haotian gently pointed forward.

A gigantic lotus appeared before Ling Chen’s eyes.

This is the location of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan’s inner clan.

"Go on in!"

Emperor Haotian led the three into the lotus.

This lotus was Li Taibai’s inner world.

Entering within the lotus, the view suddenly expanded.

Birds sang, flowers bloomed, like a paradise.

Most captivating was a mansion floating in mid-air.

This is where the Green Lotus Ancient Clan’s cultivators gathered.

The four flew towards the aerial mansion.

As they entered the mansion, it emitted a light that scanned them from head to toe.

Ling Chen felt as if he’d been seen through.

"Don’t worry, it’s just a routine identity check."

Emperor Haotian said.

Entering here requires two conditions.

First, possessing the Green Lotus Bloodline.

This is why only Green Lotus Ancient Clan cultivators who have awakened their bloodline can enter the inner clan.

This is where the true inheritance of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan lies.

Second, not being tainted by the demonic aura.

This is to prevent demon corruption.

If that happened, the Green Lotus Ancient Clan wouldn’t be far from extinction.

Quickly, the four of them entered the mansion.

Emperor Haotian led the three to a courtyard.

"You three rest here. Tomorrow I’ll take you to meet the clan members!"

Emperor Haotian instructed.

"Yes."

The three complied.

Each found a room to settle in.

Ling Chen did not rest.

He sorted through the treasures within Ye Jingyu’s inner world.

Though the person was an Emperor, he was truly quite poor.

Only a few super-grade Spirit Crystals.

After killing one Demon Cultivator, Ling Chen realized that the Demonic Path was more powerful than he understood.

"Looks like this Demon Sect is something more?"

"Could it be the sect of Demon Cultivators?"

Ling Chen pondered.

He recalled Emperor Haotian’s demeanor when mentioning the Demon Sect. Clearly, this Demon Sect was far more powerful than he’d realized.
