Chapter 94 - Golden Sword Peak

Leng Yan’s sudden appearance startled the man in the purple robe. However, the man quickly regained his spiritual mind and said, “What do you mean by that? We don’t seem to have any grudges between us.”

Leng Yan smiled but didn’t directly answer his question. Instead, he looked at the Fat Guy behind him.

“You should have listened to the Fat Guy and not gotten involved in this matter.” After saying that, Leng Yan’s smile vanished, replaced by a cold and chilling expression, as intense killing intent emanated from him. He coldly said, “Unfortunately, you still came along, which means you’re destined to die!”

The Fat Guy looked a bit helpless but said nothing.

However, the Thin Guy’s face turned red with anger, and he shouted, “Do you think that just because you tell us to die, we will? Don’t be so arrogant!”

Leng Yan shook his head with a cold expression and said, “Many people have called me arrogant, but they’re all dead. What I really want to tell you is that I never boast.”

The cold air around Leng Yan made the man in the purple robe feel a sense of fear. He believed Leng Yan wasn’t just boasting.

“We’ll leave now and not get involved in this matter, OK?” The man in the purple robe suppressed his inner anger and said.

“You should have said that earlier. Unfortunately, I’ve already said you’re destined to die, and I will make it happen. Oh, by the way, Fat Guy, you can stand aside, you don’t have to die,” Leng Yan said with a cold face and a sneer.

“Don’t push your luck. If it comes to a fight, who knows who will have the upper hand!” The man in the purple robe shouted angrily.

Leng Yan ignored the man in the purple robe and instead talked to the Fat Guy: “I’ll give you a chance; if you want to live, stand aside. If you want to die, I won’t stop you.”

These people were only temporarily together, with no real bond, and the Fat Guy had no reason to die with them!

The Fat Guy smiled slightly and stood aside, saying, “So, what do you want me to do?”

Leng Yan hadn’t expected the Fat Guy to be so smart, or rather, very clever. Leng Yan smiled, “Haha… It’s effortless to talk to a smart person. But let’s save those words for after I’ve dealt with these people.”

“Damn it, I want to see what makes you so arrogant.” The Thin Guy wielded a low-grade treasure tool long sword and shouted as he slashed forward. The flying sword shot forward like a streamer, aiming directly at Leng Yan’s throat.

Leng Yan snorted dismissively and sneered, “Courting death!”

A fierce wind arose, and thunder rumbled across the sky. The flying sword moved with incredible speed and reached Leng Yan in the blink of an eye.

Leng Yan appeared to move slowly but actually dodged the attack with lightning speed, quickly retreating. Seeing his attack miss, the Thin Guy hurriedly controlled the flying sword to spin back.

However, this time, the flying sword never got close to Leng Yan. Suddenly, a lightning bolt descended from the sky, directly destroying the flying sword.

Even though the flying sword was a low-grade treasure tool, it couldn’t withstand the destructive power of the lightning. The formations within it were completely annihilated, turning it into scrap metal.

“Thunder Technique! My flying sword!” The Thin Guy was connected to the flying sword, and its destruction affected him, leaving him pale.

But what followed was even more terrifying. A massive lightning giant, over two hundred feet tall, appeared above the Thin Guy, and a huge thunder god’s hammer came crashing down on his head.

“Quick, block it together!” The thunder god’s hammer not only enveloped the Thin Guy but also affected the other three. The man in the purple robe shouted urgently, snapping the three out of their fear.

The giant lightning hammer crashed down but was blocked by the four’s magical techniques, creating an earth-shaking explosion.

Electric snakes shot everywhere in all directions. Although the four managed to block the thunder god’s hammer, they were forced back a hundred meters, their faces turning even paler. The Thin Guy, suffering continuous injuries, finally stopped retreating and couldn’t hold back a mouthful of blood.

“He’s at the mid-stage of the unification realm, we’re no match for him. Run!” One of the men clutched his chest and shouted before turning to flee.

Seeing this, Leng Yan smiled slightly but did not pursue. The man thought Leng Yan was preoccupied, but that was not the case. As he turned, a flash of golden light shone in his eyes, and then his chest was pierced through, leaving him with a surprised expression.

The flash of golden light was none other than the queen bee that Leng Yan had strategically positioned in advance. After piercing the man’s chest, the queen bee returned and used its sharp mandibles to sever his neck, making his soul a meal for the Asura.

“I told you, you will all die! Escape is not an option!” As Leng Yan’s words fell, eight queen bees that had been hiding nearby suddenly launched their attack. Golden light flickered among the remaining three, leaving only agonized screams and splatters of blood.

The Fat Guy had suspected that Leng Yan was powerful, but he hadn’t anticipated him having nine unification realm queen bees. His face was filled with shock, silently proud of his wise decision to step back.

After collecting the storage bags of the four, Leng Yan glanced inside. There were a total of fifty thousand primordial spirit elixirs, along with many herbs and refining materials, though they were mostly common items. However, the man in the purple robe had a middle-grade treasure tool that was noteworthy.

“Follow me. This is not the place to talk,” Leng Yan said as he packed up the items and concealed the queen bee once more. Looking at Leng Yan’s indifferent figure as he walked away, the Fat Guy had no choice but to follow.

On top of a mountain surrounded by pale green trees, it was one of the most beautiful spots in the gray, hazy space battlefield.

Leng Yan and the Fat Guy were now standing on this mountain. Leng Yan remained silent, as still as a statue, while the Fat Guy also chose to keep quiet.

Leng Yan was contemplating his future path. The main sect on Wugang Star was not like the water element mountain gate on Longmu Star. It was fraught with more dangers, so Leng Yan needed to quickly gather information to avert unknown threats.

Thus, building his own forces was imperative. Among the younger generation, Sun Hao had already been eliminated by him. Li Nan and Wang Han were Leng Yan’s next targets, and barring any accidents, he was confident he could take them down.

However, among the true disciples, Leng Yan had already offended Zhong Yong, Mu Qing, and Jin Kuang.

In the intricate landscape of true disciple factions, Leng Yan had undoubtedly crossed many influential people.

After the recent battle, Leng Yan’s prowess had profoundly shocked the Fat Guy. Standing beside Leng Yan now, the silent pressure enveloped him, making Leng Yan feel like a towering mountain in front of him.

Sweat trickled down his forehead, and although he wanted to look up at Leng Yan, he couldn’t muster the courage to meet his gaze.

“I want you to help me gather information in the main sect. I need to know who might be plotting against me. Are you willing to help?” Leng Yan finally spoke, his voice cold.

The Fat Guy took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and said, “I’m not sure I have that kind of capability.”

Leng Yan smiled slightly and said softly, “You’re a smart person and you know what to do. I will give you eight hundred thousand primordial spirit elixirs and a middle-grade treasure tool. I’ll ask you again: will you help or not? Spare me the nonsense, I only want an answer.”

Upon hearing this, the Fat Guy gasped. Eight hundred thousand primordial spirit elixirs was no small amount. Although they were Heavenly Realm disciples, their monthly benefits were just a few thousand. After all, only a few were the focus of the sect’s cultivation efforts.

With this amount of elixirs, the Fat Guy believed he could build an information network. Moreover, he had no other choice at this point. Refusing meant certain death, he was convinced Leng Yan was capable of such actions.

“Alright! I’ll do it!” the Fat Guy replied after thinking for a moment.

“Here are the eight hundred thousand primordial spirit elixirs and a middle-grade treasure tool. Along with that, there are five Fiend Thunders for your protection. Remember, don’t play tricks on me, or your end will be far worse than theirs!” Leng Yan, emitting a chilling aura, tossed a storage bag to the Fat Guy after speaking.

The Fat Guy caught the storage bag, his expression changing once again when he saw the five Fiend Thunders, sensing the immense power contained within them.

Leng Yan explained to the Fat Guy how to use the Fiend Thunders, then asked, “How much do you know about the situation in the Five Elements Sect, like what factions exist? Who leads them, and what is their cultivation level?”

With a sense of trepidation, the Fat Guy put away the items given by Leng Yan, then pondered, organizing his knowledge. Gathering his courage, he lifted his head and said, “In the main sect, there are about thirty thousand true disciples above the golden core realm, and hundreds of organizations of varying sizes. The largest faction is ‘Golden Sword Peak,’ led by the golden vein senior brother, Lin Ning. It includes about five hundred members, with more than ten of them at the ‘defy the heavens and change fate’ realm.”
