Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118

"You... you..." Ling Ye pointed at Zhang Menglong, his face red with anger, "If you have the guts, kill me today, otherwise Lingyun Sect and you will be enemies until death!"

"Alright then, as you wish!" Zhang Menglong pulled out a round ball. Seeing this thing, Qi Xiu and the others quickly dashed a hundred meters away. Although the villagers didn't know why they were running, they also followed suit due to their panic.

"Take another blast from me!" Zhang Menglong activated the rune, while also setting a delay function because even he couldn't completely ignore the force of such an explosion.

He threw the ball onto the ground and swiftly ran away.

Ling Ye's body was blown into the sky once again.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Zhang is truly ruthless."

"I don't know if Brother Zhang really would turn Haotian Continent upside down, but now I truly believe he's a Demon Spawn."

"Although Brother Zhang is both brutal and shameless, I just like him !"

As the smoke cleared, everyone gathered around Ling Ye's side. This last explosion nearly blew away his last breath. The wounds on his body were shocking, and now he had passed out.

"All of you must testify for me!" Zhang Menglong shouted loudly, "I did put up warning signs, it's his own fault for not looking. He can't blame me for getting blown up . That explosion was his own request, I've never heard such an unreasonable request in my life."

"What a blast!" someone shouted first, "They deserved it!"

"People from Lingyun Sect deserve more than just death!"

"Master, do you have any more of those? We want to blast him a couple of times too!"

"Goodness," Zhang Menglong said quietly, "Who told me that the people of Lingyun City are simple, kind, and gentle?"

A night passed, nothing happened in Lingyun City, except a stretch of road was repeatedly bombarded for five minutes, and a crooked tree had one more person hanging from it.

For Lingyun Sect, a group of disciples not returning overnight was nothing uncommon. Lingyun Sect had thousands of disciples, leaving for a few days for training or play without issue.

The disappearance of an elder was also not uncommon, given elders held high authority and people wouldn't dare to question them stepping out for something.

But the whole sect being hungry was no small matter. By the next evening, Lingyun Sect had run out of food. In this intermediate world, martial artists above the Heaven-breaking Realm could achieve the state of grain abstinence through the energy of heaven and earth, but Lingyun Sect's hundreds of thousands of disciples were all waiting to eat.

"Didn't Senior Brother Ling Tianxing and the others go down the mountain a few days ago to buy food?"

"Yes, theoretically they should have returned yesterday. Why isn't there any news now, and the fellow senior brothers haven't returned either. Could something have happened?"

"That's not right, I saw Xu Zhou returned yesterday."

A group of people arrived at a courtyard, where the disciple named Xu Zhou was the one Zhang Menglong had let return yesterday to relay information.

Seeing so many disciples here, Xu Zhou was also a bit curious, what exactly happened?

"Xu Zhou, didn't you go with Senior Brother Tianxing to buy food yesterday? What's going on?"

"Exactly, everyone has been hungry for a day, didn't you embezzle the sect's money?"

"They haven't returned?" Xu Zhou's expression became solemn. He told the Fourth Elder about this yesterday. Logically, the elder himself should have brought back Ling Tianxing along with the food. How could they not have returned?

"What do you mean?" The disciples immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"It's , when we went down the mountain yesterday, we encountered people from the Royal Family..." Xu Zhou briefly recounted what had happened yesterday.

"You mean the Fourth Elder left yesterday?"

"Master hasn't returned at all!" said a direct disciple of Ling Ye.

"Could something have happened to the Fourth Elder?" said some disciples anxiously.

"Impossible, Master is a martial artist of the Heaven-breaking Realm. Even if their Royal Family sent Heaven-breaking martial artists, Master could surely return for reinforcements even if defeated." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovelfire.net

"Should we notify the Sect Master and other elders?" someone suggested.

"No way! Right now the elders are assisting the Sect Master in breaking through. As long as the Sect Master breaks through to the Third Heaven-breaking Realm, our Lingyun Sect will suppress the Royal Family. Then the entire Sacred Gold Dynasty will be our Lingyun Sect's turf."

"Then what do we do?"

"We can only stay put for now. Even if the Royal Family did come prepared, as long as we hide in the sect, would they dare to attack us directly?"

"Exactly, our location is strategic, easy to defend and hard to attack. Unless they have more than five Heaven-breaking martial artists, it's absolutely impossible for them to get in."

At the peak of Lingyun Sect.

Two days passed, and all the disciples were weakly practicing martial arts. In these two days, they had secretly sent people down to investigate, only to find that the missing people, including their Fourth Elder, were all hung on a crooked tree in the agricultural district!

They wanted to rescue them, but dared not act rashly. Even their Fourth Elder was captured, wouldn't these ordinary disciples going up there be courting death?

Therefore, for the past few days, they could only hunt in the mountains near Lingyun Sect. But with so many mouths to feed, no one truly had a full meal.

At this moment, at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, several people were secretly observing everything below.

"Wow, Brother Zhang, this thing is amazing, isn't it? It can actually fly so high?" You Ruo was full of curiosity about Zhang Menglong's Star Watcher, "And this thing can see from so far away, it's even better than a martial artist's eyes!"

"Hahaha, look at them, it's really satisfying to see them looking like they haven't eaten for three days."

"Is everything ready?" Zhang Menglong smiled.

"Ready!" Qi Ning pushed a square box to a position, inside which were the elders and disciples of Lingyun Sect.

"Drop an airdrop for them!" Zhang Menglong pressed the button, and the red box began to fall downwards, "Give them a surprise!"

Beside Zhang Menglong was a whole box of grenades made from Lieyang Crystals.

As the parachute opened, it gently floated down to the central square of Lingyun Sect's mountain gate.

"Was this... floating down from the sky?"

"Everyone move aside, I suspect this is a plot by the Royal Family! Maybe they want to use this method to infiltrate our mountain gate!" A disciple stabbed the box with a sword.

As a jet of blood spurted out, he showed a proud expression, "See, there's really someone inside!"

He cleaved the box with a single sword, and was stunned the instant he saw the people inside.

"Fo... Fourth Elder?" His sword hit the Fourth Elder's backside precisely, but because their mouths were gagged, none could make a sound, yet the Fourth Elder's gaze was murderous.

"Look, more things are falling from the sky!" The disciples pointed to the sky, seeing balls rapidly descending towards the ground.

"Look! It's Lieyang Crystals! Lieyang Crystals are falling from the sky!"

"We've struck gold! One Lieyang Crystal is worth five or six Xuan Crystals!"

"Hmm? Why is this thing so hot?"

"How could it be? Why is it glowing?"

Suddenly, a piece of music with exotic style started playing from within the sphere.

This music is called Canon...
