Chapter 426 The Dead Don't Need to Know Too Much
……
Shenhuoling, the main hall at the summit.
At this moment, Zhao Lie, the sect leader of the Lieyang Sect, was sitting in the main seat that originally belonged to the Jiang family head, with a radiant face, listening to the report from his subordinate elders.
"Report—!"
"Sect Master! In the past few days, we have subdued three more small sects in the surrounding area. Now, the territory of our Blazing Sun Sect has doubled in size!"
"Once we absorb the Aoki Gate to the south, we'll be able to completely dominate this area!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lie burst into laughter.
"Good! Well done!"
"Back in the day, when I came to visit the Jiang family, they wouldn't even let me through the gate. I had to wait at the foot of the mountain like a dog."
"now?"
"This ancestral land of the Jiang family is mine! The Jiang family's treasure trove is mine! Even the women of the Jiang family... hehe."
A lewd glint flashed in Zhao Lie's eyes.
"It's a pity we haven't caught Jiang Ling yet... I heard that girl is incredibly beautiful and has imperial blood. If we could capture her and use her as a furnace..."
Just then.
boom--!!!
A loud bang suddenly came from the direction of the mountain gate.
Immediately afterwards, the scream of the escaped disciple echoed throughout the entire Shenhuoling.
"Murder!"
"A demon has stormed the mountain!"
"What's going on?!"
Zhao Lie's expression changed abruptly, and he stood up abruptly, crushing the jade cup in his hand into powder.
"Who dares to run wild in my Blazing Sun Sect?!"
"Are you tired of living?!"
"Come on! Follow me out and have a look!"
With a wave of his hand, Zhao Lie led the elders and core disciples in the main hall out in a fierce manner.
……
When Zhao Lie led his men to the square halfway up the mountain.
The sight before him made his pupils shrink sharply.
The once heavily guarded mountain path was now littered with corpses lying haphazardly.
There wasn't a single intact corpse.
Everything was blown into a bloody mist, staining the bluestone steps red.
And at the end of that bloody path.
Two figures, a man and a woman, walked up slowly and deliberately.
The man, dressed in black, exuded a refined and scholarly air, strolling leisurely with his hands behind his back.
The woman was dressed in a white dress and had an exquisite appearance; she was none other than Jiang Ling, whom he had been dreaming of capturing!
"Jiang Ling?!"
Zhao Lie was taken aback at first, then grinned maliciously.
"Well, you've got the perfect path to hell, choosing the path to heaven over the path to heaven!"
"I was just looking for you, and here you are, delivering yourself right to my doorstep!"
"Guards! Chop that man into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"
"Capture Jiang Ling alive! I'm going to use her as a sacrifice tonight!!"
But before those disciples of the Blazing Sun Sect could even make a move...
Lin Hanzhou stopped and looked up at the middle-aged man with a fierce face standing on high.
He glanced again at the huge plaque hanging in the center of the square, bearing the three large characters "Lieyang Sect".
"Starting today."
"The Blazing Sun Sect will cease to exist in this world."
Lin Hanzhou shook his head, his tone as calm as if he were pronouncing the fate of a death row inmate.
"Arrogant!"
Zhao Lie flew into a rage, his aura erupting, and the pressure of a Saint Realm expert swept out.
"How dare a piece of trash who doesn't even have a flicker of spiritual energy spout such nonsense?"
"Today I'll show you what death truly means!!"
"Blazing Sun Palm!"
Zhao Lie roared and struck out with his palm.
The raging heatwave transformed into a giant fiery hand, slamming down towards Lin Hanzhou with the force to incinerate everything!
If this attack were unleashed at full power, it would be enough to shatter a planet.
Jiang Ling's face turned pale, and she instinctively gasped in surprise.
"Watch out, senior!!"
However, faced with this fierce palm strike...
Lin Hanzhou merely lifted his eyelids slightly and glanced at it.
It's like seeing a little kid waving a matchstick.
He raised his right hand and gently fanned the air.
call--!
It's like swatting flies.
The massive, flaming hand, with its overwhelming power, was like a candle flame encountering a hurricane the moment it met Lin Hanzhou's palm wind.
puff!
It went out instantly!
Not a single wisp of smoke remained!
"What?!"
Zhao Lie's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his face filled with disbelief.
"This...how is this possible?!"
"That's my signature move!!"
"Who...who are you?!"
Lin Hanzhou did not answer his question.
He simply said it.
"Dead people don't need to know too much."
The words fell.
boom--!!!
An indescribably terrifying aura erupted from Lin Hanzhou's body without warning.
This time.
He no longer hides it.
Even a wisp of the pressure from a quasi-emperor level is enough to crush this world!
Click! Click! Click!
At that moment, all the buildings in Shenhuoling began to shake violently.
The elders and disciples of the Blazing Sun Sect didn't even have time to scream before they burst open one after another under this pressure, like ripe watermelons!
boom!boom!boom!boom!
Blood mist filled the air, staining the sky crimson.
Even as a Saint Realm expert, Zhao Lie only managed to hold on for a few dozen seconds longer.
But it only lasted for a few dozen seconds.
Under that oppressive force, as powerful as the heavens, he knelt heavily on the ground, his bones shattered, blood flowing from his seven orifices, his eyes filled with endless fear and despair.
"A quasi-emperor?!"
"No...don't..."
"Spare me... Spare me..."
boom!
The final muffled thud.
Zhao Lie exploded into a cloud of blood mist and completely dissipated into the world.
It only took less than a minute.
Just moments ago, the arrogant and domineering Lieyang Sect...
Annihilated!
Apart from Lin Hanzhou and Jiang Ling, there was no one else alive in the entire Shenhuoling.
A dead silence.
Only the mountain wind howled, dispersing the blood mist that filled the sky.
Lin Hanzhou suppressed his aura, turned his head, looked at Jiang Ling who was already stunned, and smiled gently.
"alright."
"The trash has been cleaned up."
"Now, this place is yours."
Jiang Ling stood in the pool of blood, looking at everything that was both familiar and strange, her eyes slightly red.
The once prosperous and thriving family is now reduced to ruins.
Although she had avenged her great grudge, the deep-seated sorrow still made her feel breathless.
She turned around and looked at the young man in black standing with his hands behind his back and a calm expression, and an indescribable sense of gratitude welled up in her heart.
If it weren't for this senior's intervention, not only would she not have been able to reclaim her ancestral land, but she herself would likely have become that villain's plaything, and even the last line of her family's inheritance would have been severed.
"Thump!"
Without any hesitation, Jiang Ling's knees buckled, and she knelt heavily amidst the rubble, about to kowtow to Lin Hanzhou.
"Your kindness is like a second birth! Jiang Ling has no way to repay you, except..."
Before her forehead even touched the ground, a gentle yet irresistible force supported her body, preventing her from bowing down.
"Alright."
Lin Hanzhou gently raised his hand and helped Jiang Ling up, his tone casual:
"I don't like this approach."
"Since I've agreed to be your... nominal guide, it's only right that I help you clean up the trash."
"Besides..."
Lin Hanzhou looked around, his gaze sweeping over the broken array patterns and collapsed statues, finally settling on the depths of Divine Fire Ridge.
"Although this place has been cleaned up, this shouldn't be the true core area of your Jiang family, right?"
"I think there's something hidden in there...?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and quickly nodded, saying:
"As expected, senior has keen insight."
"Although this is the main peak, it is actually just a place for receiving guests and for ordinary clansmen to cultivate on weekdays."
"The true ancestral forbidden area is hidden deep within the earth veins of Divine Fire Ridge, where there is a seal left by our ancestors that cannot be opened by anyone but those of the direct lineage."
As she spoke, Jiang Ling took a deep breath, composed herself, and said respectfully.
"Please follow me, senior."
