“Brother Mastiff, why bother forcing Lin Yun to come out? Just as you said earlier, by informing a Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner about the situation here, not only might we obtain the ownership of this spirit universe, but we might also establish a connection with a Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner. Even if we get fewer benefits, just having a relationship with a Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner means we’ve made a profit. It’s better if this Lin Yun doesn’t come out; it saves us the trouble in case he runs away once he appears…” a lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner spoke continuously.
If Lin Yun runs away, it’s not a problem, but if he takes the Blood Prison Sword with him, they would lose their greatest weapon.
“Exactly, Brother Mastiff, so much time has passed, and we still don’t know what level Lin Yun’s strength has grown to. If an accident occurs, it would be better for us to directly inform a Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner about the situation here…” Another lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner also nodded continuously in agreement.
The other lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners all looked towards the Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner, hope gleaming in their eyes.
“Hmph! What do you know?” The Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner’s face showed some embarrassment, and he let out a cold huff before speaking.
“What I just said was just the best-case scenario. Do you really think there will be no accidents? Informing a Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner about the information here is indeed a good choice, but which of you can directly contact a Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner? If we pass the information through other Ghost Practitioners, can you guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen?” The Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner said coldly.
“This universe has been connected to the Netherworld for several years now. During this time, the movements we and our subordinates have made in the Netherworld might have attracted the attention of other powers’ Ghost Practitioners. If we now actively try to contact some powerful Ghost Practitioners to help us inform the Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners, perhaps before we even reach the Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners, those powerful Ghost Practitioners will discover the information about this spirit universe. At that time, will we be able to resist their invasion?” The tone of the Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner was icy.
“This…” Hearing the words of the Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner, the faces of those lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners couldn’t help but change.
Just as the Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner said, they didn’t have a direct way to contact any Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner. They had oversimplified the matter.
“Alright, the situation has not reached that point yet. First, we deal with Lin Yun. If we really can’t handle him, then we think of a way to inform those Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners!” At this moment, the Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner said indifferently.
In fact, he left some things unsaid. That was that they might obtain the Blood Prison Sword and the Heavenly Principle Tower. Especially the Blood Prison Sword which, according to legend, allowed the Blood Emperor to reach such formidable heights in the past.
If he could obtain the Blood Prison Sword, perhaps he too would have the chance to reach the same level as the Blood Emperor. By then, what would Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners amount to? Killing an average Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner might be as easy as crushing an ant for him, and he would become a renowned figure among the Saint King Ghost Practitioners, standing at the very peak of the entire Netherworld!
That was the greatest opportunity!
Now, without even trying, he would be unwilling to give up such a tremendous opportunity.
However, he thought about it and eventually chose not to voice these thoughts.
In case things really progressed to the point he described, he feared that these lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners might pass on his words to the Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners. Then, his current ambitions might be seen as a thorn in the side by those Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners, and if they decided to eliminate him, he would suffer a great loss!
Having discovered the Blood Prison Sword early on, why not inform them of this information sooner? The news about the Blood Prison Sword was of immense importance, and every moment of delay could lead to massive changes!
His worries were not superfluous!
“Alright!”
“We have no other choice…”
The lower Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners thought it over and finally spoke.
…
On this day, Lin Yun was meditating with his eyes closed.
“Lin Yun, something has happened outside!” The Heavenly Principle Tower’s spirit suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yun, speaking angrily.
“Hmm? What happened?” Lin Yun opened his eyes and stood up to ask.
Throughout the years of contact with the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit, he had rarely seen it so angry.
“Those Ghost Practitioners are actually using the lives of people from the Immortal Origin World and Earth as a threat against you and True Martial Saint Lord!” As the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit spoke, it waved its little hand and an image from outside appeared before them.
“Lin Yun, True Martial, these are all your people. If you want them to live, come out immediately. Otherwise, for every day that passes, I will kill a hundred thousand people, until all of them are dead. On the other hand, if you come out, I will immediately let them go and also won’t kill you…” A Tri-Headed Dog-shaped Ghost Practitioner was floating in space, speaking solemnly.
Next to this Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner were many terrified humans from the Immortal Origin World and Earth, also floating in space.
“Lord Lin, Lord True Martial, please save us!”
“Saint Lord Lin, Saint Lord True Martial, please rescue us!”
“Saint Lord Lin, Saint Lord True Martial, I don’t want to die, please come out!”
Many Cultivators begged pitifully.
“Saint Lord Lin, Saint Lord True Martial, don’t come out. Just avenge us in the future!”
“`
“Please, both of you, don’t come out!”
Of course, there were also some cultivators with backbone and wisdom who cried out loudly.
They knew that this was a cosmic catastrophe affecting the entire universe. The ghost practitioners using them to threaten Lin Yun and the True Martial Saint Lord indicated that in some ways, they were afraid of Lin Yun and the True Martial Saint Lord. If Lin Yun and the True Martial Saint Lord did not appear, there might still be a chance for them to take revenge in the future. Trusting the words of these ghost practitioners and emerging together would likely mean dying pointlessly together.
Inside the Heavenly Principle Tower.
Lin Yun’s face darkened as he witnessed this scene.
He had not expected that the ghost practitioners would resort to this tactic, which was nearly the same as what the Langya Saint Lord had done before.
However, previously, the Langya Saint Lord was also a Sanctuary powerhouse from the Immortal Origin Holy Land, born and raised in the Immortal Origin Holy Land. The Langya Saint Lord might have been lenient towards those cultivators of the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
But these ghost practitioners would definitely show no mercy.
They could indeed kill all those humans.
“The first batch, kill!”
Perhaps to confirm Lin Yun’s thoughts, at this moment, the tri-headed dog ghost practitioner said coldly.
“Puff! Puff! Puff!”
Without lifting a finger, the tri-headed dog ghost practitioner, with just a thought, caused the heads of a hundred thousand humans from the Immortal Origin World and Earth to roll, the first to die being those with strong wills.
“How shameless!”
“These ghost practitioners…”
At this time, the True Martial Saint Lord and Xia Qingqing, along with their party, also rushed over. Witnessing this scene, they were also extremely angry and expressed their rage.
“Lin Yun…” The Heavenly Principle Tower spirit turned its head toward Lin Yun, its little face very tense as it spoke.
Initially, it had been conflicted about whether to tell Lin Yun about this situation, fearing that Lin Yun might impulsively leave the Heavenly Principle Tower. After some thought, it decided to inform Lin Yun.
Because it was worried that if it didn’t tell Lin Yun, and he found out later, he might be upset with it for concealing the truth; all its efforts to build a relationship with Lin Yun over the past few years would have been in vain.
It decided to tell Lin Yun, trusting in his rationality and hoping he wouldn’t act impulsively or take his anger out on it.
Yet, even with this reasoning, it still feared Lin Yun’s impulsiveness.
After all, Lin Yun was still very young and at an impulsive age.
“Lin Yun!”
“Brother, what should we do?”
The True Martial Saint Lord and Xia Qingqing, along with their party, also turned their heads, looking at Lin Yun with great nervousness as they spoke.
“Is there any way to bring those people in?” Lin Yun looked toward the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit and said with a grave voice.
“There are a total of five Saint Lord Level ghost practitioners outside; among them, the tri-headed dog ghost practitioner is a mid-level Saint Lord Level practitioner. I can’t bring those people in without any flaws!” The Heavenly Principle Tower spirit shook its little head as it spoke.
Lin Yun fell silent.
Although he had anticipated such an outcome, hearing the Heavenly Principle Tower spirit’s response still made his heart sink.
“Cultivate!” After a long silence, Lin Yun finally spoke two cold words.
Having said that, he turned and disappeared through teleportation.
He was enraged that the ghost practitioners were using the lives of people from the Immortal Origin World and Earth as leverage against him, but he was also very rational. Killing a hundred thousand people a day meant over thirty-six million in a year. If he could break through faster, maybe he could save some of them.
If he truly listened to those ghost practitioners, then he might end up with no place to be buried, just like the people from the Immortal Origin World and Earth.
The words of those ghost practitioners were simply not to be trusted.
