Master of Heaven and Earth - Chapter 105 - The Root of Disaster!
“What is there to fear? Those who offend me will surely die!” Leng Yan exuded a murderous intent, his fist already locked onto Yunzhen.
Yunzhen turned pale with fright and hurriedly threw out a treasure tool that resembled a leaf, swiftly retreating. Upon seeing the gleam of this treasure tool, Leng Yan was slightly taken aback; it was a supreme-grade treasure!
With another powerful punch, the treasure tool was directly sent flying. Leng Yan let out a loud shout, his aura rapidly surged, and his speed suddenly increased. The spatial shuttle soared through the air as he stowed away the Azure Sky Sword, stepped onto the shuttle, and ignited a primordial spirit elixir, closing the hundred-foot distance in an instant.
As his fist approached, Yunzhen had yet to react when a mist of blood erupted around him, his body collapsing. His soul frantically attempted to escape; however, Leng Yan was prepared, quickly grasping Yunzhen’s soul, sealing it, and collecting the leaf-like treasure as well as Yunzhen’s flying sword and other items.
After completing all of this, Leng Yan did not linger and directly slipped into the immortal land, flying off into the distance!
Just as Leng Yan left, dozens of people arrived. These individuals were all at the cultivation level of the unification realm, dressed in cloud robes, their faces serious and tense. After a moment, a man flew up, holding Yunzhen’s mangled body, his face pale as he declared, “Senior Brother Yunzhen is dead, and his soul is missing!”
“Report to the sect and issue a Cloud Flying Order to hunt this person down! He must be killed! Otherwise, as Yunzhen’s Guards, we will not escape death!” The leader of the group waved a hand, and a mirror appeared in the sky, replaying the recent events. Leng Yan’s image was crystal clear within it.
“Understood!” The expressions of the crowd were grim. They all knew the significance of this matter. It was either Leng Yan dead or them!
Meanwhile, the events transpiring did not reach Leng Yan’s ears. At this moment, he was within a cave, astonished by the revelations he had just uncovered.
Leng Yan had just scanned through Yunzhen’s memories, and it was then he discovered Yunzhen’s true identity and the reason behind his reckless behavior.
Yuntian Sect, located on Yuntian Star, is akin to an earthly dynasty, with Wugang Star and other sects like the Supreme Dao Sect, Crystal Cave Heavens, Weapon Refining Sect, and Infinity Sword Sect maintaining a balance of power. However, Yuntian Sect stands out as the dominant force among them, with smaller sects depending on Yuntian Sect for their survival. It is here, among the three branches of the Demon Sect, that they dare to kill disciples of Yuntian Sect and oppose them! This has fostered a sense of superiority among most members of Yuntian Sect.
Yunzhen is the second son of the sect master of Yuntian Sect, with his elder brother being Yunting. Both of them are treated like royalty on Yuntian Star, enjoying a life of privilege wherever they go.
Yunzhen despises the group of people trailing behind him. He had finally managed to sneak out, only to encounter Leng Yan, an outsider whose background he didn’t know, leading to his demise. It could be seen as bad luck for him; he deserved it!
Leng Yan couldn’t help but smile bitterly, thinking that he seemed to be a magnet for trouble. Wherever he went, chaos followed him. He had only just arrived on Yuntian Star, and already he was embroiled in such a significant disaster.
However, Leng Yan felt no fear; he knew his actions were justified. With Yunzhen’s arrogant and overbearing personality, once his Guards arrived, he would likely be in trouble. Hence, Yunzhen had to be dealt with!
The only complication was that Leng Yan learned from Yunzhen’s memories that Yuntian Sect possessed a magical technique that could recreate scenes from a specific location over a certain period of time. This meant that his appearance was already known. Given the sect’s style, they would undoubtedly put a bounty on him.
Thus, Leng Yan needed to change his appearance; otherwise, he would find it difficult to move at all! Fortunately, this was not a challenging task. By taking on the appearance of a demon spirit and making slight modifications, no one would suspect him of being a “demon cultivator.”
Unfortunately, he could not use the supreme-grade treasure tool “Ancient Breath Leaf” or the supreme-grade flying sword “Immortal-Slaying” he had just seized, as doing so would certainly expose him.
However, Yunzhen had left behind a fortune comprising a million primordial spirit elixirs and various rare items, which significantly replenished Leng Yan’s “finances.”
In the starry sky, Leng Yan had spent a large portion of his resources, which had caused him a great deal of pain. Now, he had suddenly replenished his wealth!
On Yuntian Star, there are a total of eighteen major continents, and currently, Leng Yan finds himself on the relatively remote Yunxiang Continent. This continent is approximately the size of Longmu Star, indicating the vastness of this star.
Red Leaf’s business extends across various planets, and Yuntian Star is no exception. Every continent has a trading firm run by Red Leaf, with the largest located in Tianlong City on Yunlong Continent.
To avoid attracting suspicion, Leng Yan decided to take a longer route and head to Tianlong City on Yunlong Continent!
However, there are still three continents separating Yunxiang Continent from Yunlong Continent, which means that flying would take a long time. Fortunately, on Yuntian Star, there are teleportation formations connecting the various continents, saving a lot of time!
The teleportation formations are managed by both Yuntian Sect and the three branches of the Demon Sect. The ones overseen by Yuntian Sect are restricted to righteous cultivators, which Leng Yan obviously wouldn’t be able to use. Thus, he needed to go to the teleportation formation controlled by the Demon Sect.
The three branches of the Demon Sect are the Corpse Yin Sect, Ancestral Demon Sect, and Heart Demon Palace. The teleportation formations of the Demon Sect are guarded in rotation by these three sects.
Leng Yan concealed his aura so that no one could detect his cultivation level. Then he summoned Xin Xue to act as his mount. If he were to fly with sword control, it would indirectly expose his identity, so Xin Xue had to bear the burden!
After making the necessary preparations, Leng Yan stepped out with the demon spirit, which cloaked his true appearance. Because the demon spirit embodied desire, it could alter one’s looks. Leng Yan changed his appearance to the point where even he could barely recognize himself. He also decided on a new name for himself: “Demon Child.”
In the sky above, Leng Yan wore a fierce expression, a scar stretching from his forehead down to his face, adding an intimidating aura.
Beneath him, the hundred-foot-long Xin Xue shone under the sunlight, letting out a series of low growls. She looked magnificent and powerful.
Ahead lay a mountain known as “Demon Cultivation Mountain,” which is where the teleportation formation of the Demon Sect is located. From a distance, the mountain was shrouded in a cloud of demonic energy.
Xin Xue let out a resounding roar that echoed through the forest below. The demons underneath all looked up with rage on their faces, as if Leng Yan’s conspicuous display had provoked them. Among them were many experts skilled in heaven and earth dharma forms and defying the heavens to change fate.
Leng Yan smiled slightly, looking very satisfied, completely unconcerned with the demons’ presence, radiating confidence and poise!
His imposing aura surged rapidly, and in just a short time, he had accumulated the momentum of a void calamity cultivator, his power crashing down like a tidal wave toward the throng of demons below.
As the demons sensed Leng Yan’s overwhelming aura, their anger dissipated instantly, replaced by expressions of reverence. This is the way of the demon cultivators; strength commands respect.
As Leng Yan landed, the other demon cultivators instinctively parted to make way for him. Xin Xue gracefully touched down on the ground, and with a wave of Leng Yan’s hand, she vanished into his sleeve, disappearing from sight.
His imposing presence silenced the gathered demon cultivators, who dared not utter a sound. Leng Yan smiled slightly and walked toward the teleportation formation.
The formation was being guarded by disciples of the Ancestral Demon Sect, clad in black robes. Seeing Leng Yan approach, they hurried over, showing no signs of negligence, and respectfully asked, “Where are you headed? I will activate the teleportation formation for you!”
Leng Yan tossed a storage bag to the demon cultivator, containing fifty primordial spirit elixirs, and calmly stated, “To Yunlong Continent!”
The demon cultivator received the storage bag and, upon inspecting it, his face filled with astonishment. “Senior, this is unnecessary; five thousand primordial spirit elixirs would suffice!”
Leng Yan was deliberately generous, intending to avoid raising suspicions. He looked at the demon cultivator and said, “Consider the rest as a token of appreciation for your hard work. Now enough chit-chat; activate the formation!”
“Thank you, Senior,” the disciple of the Demon Sect replied with a smile.
Radiant light erupted as the teleportation formation slowly activated. Leng Yan strode into the formation, leaving Yunxiang Continent behind under the watchful eyes of thousands of demon cultivators.
In an instant, Leng Yan found himself standing in a teleportation formation atop a high mountain. As he materialized, his aura of void calamity unfurled, startling the surrounding demon cultivators, causing them to step back in alarm.
Leng Yan summoned Xin Xue again, climbing onto her back to appear at ease and relaxed. With a mighty roar, Xin Xue soared into the sky, heading straight for Tianlong City.
“Who is that? What an extraordinary presence! I’ve never seen anyone like that before!” one of the guards at the teleportation formation remarked, watching Leng Yan’s departing figure.
“Perhaps they’re a hidden cultivator from some sect. Let’s not say too much; we wouldn’t want to attract trouble!” replied another guard.
Having passed through the teleportation safely, Leng Yan felt relieved. After flying for a while, he landed, stored Xin Xue away, and decided to continue on foot. The skies were filled with cultivators, and he wished to avoid unnecessary complications. After all, his current appearance suggested he was a void calamity cultivator, attracting the attention of formidable opponents, so it was better to act low-key.
Dispersing his aura, Leng Yan walked toward Tianlong City, appearing like an ordinary person.
Yunlong Continent boasted hundreds of cities, and fortunately, the demon sect’s teleportation formation was not far from Tianlong City-it was merely a matter of crossing one city, just a few hundred miles away.
In the distance, Leng Yan spotted a towering city wall, atop which a squad of physical body realm experts was patrolling back and forth.
