Chapter 158: Provocation

Yu Yangzi had submitted.

He would gain greater power and wealth than before. His ambition could once again be put into practice!

Of course, to gain something, one must also pay a price. For all these, Yu Yangzi had sacrificed his freedom.

Never to betray!

Yu Yangzi's arm waved back and forth in the air. His movements were a bit stiff, as the blood flow in his arm hadn't fully recovered.

On his arm, a strange pattern emitted a transparent light, like a chain binding the arm of this intrepid and ambitious person. No matter how much Yu Yangzi tried to wash it away with his spiritual energy, it had no effect.

"Don't even think about destroying it. Even Dao Xuan can't help you with this."

Lin Xing's warning seemed to ring right in Yu Yangzi's ear. Yu Yangzi let out a sigh and secretly wondered if he had been too greedy. The current situation was thousands of times better than he had imagined!

He had regained his lost arm, saved his life, and found a powerful backer.

It was like a pie falling from the sky!

Coming back to his senses, Yu Yangzi continued walking forward. He already knew Lin Xing's plan. All he needed to do was cooperate a little, and he didn't have to exert too much effort.

He was still the Hall Master, but he no longer felt the heavy burden of having to bear everything on his own.

Although it was hard to believe, the feeling of blood flowing in his arm told Yu Yangzi that all of this was real!

And Lin Xing's various means of seizing the creation of heaven and earth made him feel truly at ease! The day of unifying the Holy Sect was not far off! By then, he would be a great general under the Holy Lord and leave his name in history!

Strength! Power! Reputation! They were all back!

"Hall, Hall Master! Your hand! Your hand!" A lackey of the Changsheng Hall opened his mouth in surprise, standing in front of Yu Yangzi and pointing at Yu Yangzi's arm, even forgetting basic manners.

Yu Yangzi chuckled. He was in a great mood and didn't bother with the lackey.

"Pass on my order: The Ming Wang and Sheng Mu have manifested their divine presence and, with their supreme divine power, have reshaped my body for me. The Changsheng Hall is destined to survive!"

"Ming Wang? Sheng Mu?" The little lackey trembled and still couldn't react.

"Scram now!"

"Yes!"

...

On the hillside bathed in moonlight.

Not long after Yu Yangzi left, seven figures suddenly emerged beside Lin Xing and prostrated themselves on the ground in unison. Their respectful voices were in perfect harmony: "Greetings, Holy Lord!"

The seven assassins, whose cultivation was comparable to that of the Supreme Clarity Realm, knelt humbly like servants in front of Lin Xing.

"Rise! Remember, when we're in the countryside in the future, there's no need to perform such a grand ceremony to avoid any accidents."

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, like an irresistible tide, pulling the kneeling people to their feet.

The seven people looked at Lin Xing with even more respect in their eyes.

The Xun Trigram, after so many days of comprehension, had been completely awakened. Coupled with the improvement from the dual cultivation of Yin and Yang, Lin Xing's Xun Trigram was now as powerful as the other three trigrams! The only thing lacking was proficiency.

"You did a great job on this mission. Yu Yangzi's voluntary submission saved us a lot of trouble compared to taking him down by force. Go and claim your rewards when you get back," Lin Xing said in a commanding tone.

"Yes!"

"Alright, you can go," Lin Xing waved his hand. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he pointed at one of them and said, "You stay behind, and the others can leave first."

Six people disappeared into the darkness. Lin Xing looked at the person in front of him without speaking.

"What orders do you have, Holy Lord?"

Lin Xing interrupted him. With a thoughtful look on his face, he said, "You killed the most enemies tonight, and I, the Holy Lord, will reward you!"

"Your subordinate doesn't dare!" The man was about to kneel down when he suddenly couldn't move. The air surrounded him, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

"Why don't you dare? When I say there's a reward, there is a reward!"

Lin Xing suddenly raised his voice, and the assassin was stunned.

"Hmph! In front of my physiognomy skills, you're still pretending!"

Lin Xing's spiritual power probed into the man's brain like flowing water. There was a strange prohibition in the assassin's mind.

The prohibition emitted a strange smell, a smell of holiness and compassion.

It was very similar to the innkeeper he had encountered before.

It seemed that this man was a subordinate of the woman that Old Man Su had mentioned.

However, this time, the prohibition didn't explode. After Lin Xing had comprehended the artistic conception of water in his spiritual power, his spiritual power was as elusive as water. Even if it passed over the prohibition,it wouldn't make the slightest movement.

It was as if Lin Xing's spiritual power was flowing through the prohibition like the assassin's blood. Lin Xing had already touched the threshold of the transformation between the real and the illusory.

What was the principle of this prohibition?

Lin Xing examined it carefully.

Something that could have such strong mobility was definitely not an ordinary prohibition. The mysteries within were worth exploring.

Just then, the person in front of Lin Xing suddenly moved! A bright and sharp light flashed through the night.

"Smack!"

The spiritual energy in Lin Xing's hand condensed into a blade, directly cutting off the opponent's weapon. The wind in the air suddenly became turbulent, transforming into invisible chains that tightly bound the assassin!

"Damn it! I almost got tricked!"

Lin Xing couldn't help but curse and slapped the assassin.

The assassin's eyes turned gray, as if he had lost consciousness. But his still struggling arm didn't match the fact that he had lost consciousness.

What was going on?

Lin Xing was puzzled.

The assassin's hand finally loosened, and the sharp blade fell to the ground. He looked at Lin Xing expressionlessly, like a puppet.

A mechanical voice came from his stiff lips: "The new generation of the Holy Lord is indeed extraordinary!"

Lin Xing frowned and looked at the assassin. The prohibition that his spiritual power had probed was now emitting a strange rhythm, seemingly controlling this person.

"You, are you controlling him?" Lin Xing said to the mechanical body.

"You are much stronger than I imagined." The stiff voice came out of the man's mouth again.

"You woman, have the guts to come out and fight me one-on-one! What kind of underhanded tricks are you playing!" Lin Xing pointed at the puppet and cursed, even though he knew this wasn't the real body.

"It's not easy for a mortal to cultivate to your level. Surrender. I don't like to kill geniuses ——"

"Damn it! Fuck you!" Lin Xing kicked the puppet. "Don't talk nonsense! When I'm talking to you, do you even hear me! You're clearly a self-righteous old maid that no one wants!"

The assassin's eyes suddenly widened, and he said to Lin Xing, "Do you want to die?"

Although it was more than ten thousand li away. But Lin Xing felt a killing intent attack from the distant north.

It was very faint, but it was indeed there!

Damn it, the capital city was more than ten thousand li away from here! How could the killing intent be transmitted like this?

Lin Xing felt a bit excited.

This was definitely a master! Presumably, even if she wasn't stronger than him, they were evenly matched!

He hadn't had a fight for a long time! His recent life had been too boring! Conquering the world was just to make his life more colorful. If it weren't for the few girls he was courting, Lin Xing would have been bored to death!

Lin Xing was eager to have a fight!

Fight her! And take back Longyin by the way!

But from what Old Man Su had said, this woman seemed to think highly of herself and rarely made a move!

He had to provoke her! Lin Xing thought.

"You bitch! Just stay in the capital city and wait for me to 'favor' you!"

Lin Xing's spiritual power flowed like water, transforming into an image of his naked self with his manhood standing upright.

The entire image was implanted into the prohibition by Lin Xing and transmitted to the woman tens of thousands of li away.

"Damn it!" The mechanical tone couldn't hide the anger.

The assassin's body shook, and with a "bang", it exploded into pieces of flesh. Lin Xing looked towards the north. The clouds in the sky were surging like waves.

"Getting angry is good! The angrier you are, the happier I am!"
