Chapter 460: The Li-Surnamed Dao Friend Is Being Hunted Again

"Things like the Thousand Soul Banner should be used sparingly."

After some pleasantries, Jiang Ding instructed: "We are born human; setting aside saving the nation and the people, stabilizing the world and securing the state, we must still have basic bottom lines. Killing our own kin indiscriminately to refine treasures is losing the bottom line of being human."

As time passed, acquaintances and people he knew became fewer and fewer; he did not want to one day casually eliminate this old friend.

"Yes! I understand."

Han Lin's heart tightened, and he silently mourned for a moment the black-robed man who had spoken at the underground auction.

Where else could one go, but to cause trouble in this person's own nest? It was simply not knowing how to write the character for 'death', and disregarding the times despite being a legitimate scion of a great Northern Plain family.

"You are injured? Has your cultivation dropped?"

Jiang Ding swept with his divine sense, finding it strange, yet not strange.

This person seemed, every time he was seen, to be in the state of being hunted and fleeing, extremely unlucky.

"Yes, Little Junior Uncle has keen eyes."

Han Lin smiled bitterly: "I encountered an undeserved disaster, hunted by the Six Paths Saint Son, Yin Chougu. Fortunately, this person did not care much about me, allowing me to escape by luck."

"Please rest assured, I have already handled the aftermath and will not bring trouble; I will depart shortly."

"I have come this time to report something urgent."

Han Lin spoke solemnly: "Many years ago, the life-saving grace from the Hundred Flower Demon King at the Master Tushan Demon Palace, I have dared not forget to this day, often keeping it in mind."

"By chance, I obtained a message from the Six Paths Saint Son; it should be eight or nine out of ten likely to be credible. It concerns the life and death of cultivation lands outside the various Northern Plains, therefore, I have specially come to report."

"Oh? What is it?"

Jiang Ding was somewhat curious.

Although this person was somewhat unlucky, based on past experiences, he was reliable in handling affairs and not someone who spoke nonsense.

"The Zhengmo Alliance is about to fall."

Han Lin's words were earth-shattering and shocking to the world; he secretly glanced at the other party.

He found that the green-robed youth opposite him still looked calm, with not the slightest emotion, not knowing if his cultivation of composure was as deep as the abyss and vast as the sea, or if he simply did not care.

For some reason, he felt somewhat disappointed in his heart.

"On the front lines, the Zhengmo Alliance cannot match the Dari Sect."

Han Lin put away the inexplicably arising thoughts and said solemnly: "Several Nascent Soul Ancestors have perished; among the twenty-eight families of the Zhengmo Alliance, several have been directly erased and slaughtered by the Dari Sect."

"In the future, the Northern Plain may form a situation where the Dari Sect stands alone in dominance."

"The Zhengmo Alliance is collapsing, but even while being hunted, they must still have some residual forces, fleeing in all directions. Once they reach our hometown, the Three Kingdoms region, perhaps a terrible disaster will occur..."

"Of course, my status is low and my knowledge shallow; although I feel it is highly probable, the actual situation is hard to say."

He added another sentence.

Silence, without a sound.

For a long time.

"The Zhengmo Alliance has fallen?"

Jiang Ding murmured to himself, rapidly pondering this possibility in his mind.

Theoretically, there is a considerable possibility.

The family system's greatest advantage is stability; order between primary and secondary, descendants forever enjoying wealth, continuing unbroken.

That is all.

Regarding the success rate of cultivators, regarding the maximized efficiency of cultivation resources, regarding the exploration of immortal path science and technology, regarding the consumption and replenishment speed of talents...

All are far lower than the master-disciple system of the Dari Sect.

Perhaps, over the hundreds of years of war, both the Dari Sect and the Zhengmo Alliance lost large numbers of Jin Dan and some Nascent Soul cultivators; the Zhengmo Alliance's Nascent Soul cultivators decreased, while the Dari Sect's number of Nascent Soul cultivators might not have changed.

Because there is a continuous supply of talented cultivators to replenish!

Not only those within the Dari Sect, but also the vast Northern Plain loose cultivators, the vast branch-line Jin Dan of the Zhengmo Alliance's twenty-eight families, and Jin Dan cultivators from surrounding small cultivation realms; all these are potential disciples of the Dari Sect, and their loyalty might be even stronger than the disciples within the Dari Sect.

"Thank you for the information."

Jiang Ding stood up and bowed slightly.

This information was very important to him; if true, it could relate to some of his safety, not something dispensable.

"Little Junior Uncle is too polite!"

Han Lin was startled and quickly stepped aside.

"Do you have a fist wound from the Six Paths Saint Son on your body?"

"This person is not bad; he has even comprehended the meaning of the Te Shu De Fa, not an ordinary person."

Jiang Ding no longer ignored it and waved his hand.

Han Lin only felt a pain in his chest; the wound sealed by layers loosened and ruptured, a stream of black-purple fresh blood bursting through his clothes, flying into the sky, spinning endlessly.

In an instant, a will of the Six Paths of Birth and Death, the Heavenly Path, the Human Path, the Hungry Ghost Path... the Animal Path and other six paths cycling alternately in reincarnation, permeated the heavens and earth, spontaneously drawing the spiritual qi of the world from all directions, gathering into six black holes of spiritual light flickering uncertainly.

"Six Paths Reincarnation? The rank of this Te Shu De Fa is very high."

Jiang Ding was also surprised.

This kind of Te Shu De Fa, within the Immortal Gate realms, could also be counted as one of the top-tier Te Shu De Fa, enough to compare with the meaning comprehended by the Dao Son.

However, this is not necessarily a good thing.

If the cultivator's own foundation and the sect's foundation are insufficient, this Te Shu De Fa will remain forever at the moment of its initial birth, no longer changing; Gong Fa inheritance, soul strength, etc., all affect its growth, making further progress extremely difficult.

Facing a bottleneck right at the moment of birth.

Just like this Six Paths Te Shu De Fa, the quality is extremely high, but it is too weak, too weak.

At the Jin Dan stage, it is still very sharp, but if entering the Nascent Soul stage, it is merely a special spell, no longer possessing dominance.

Jiang Ding opened his palm.

Threads of sword qi arose, suppressing and extinguishing the Six Paths Te Shu De Fa with impressive momentum in the sky; the purple-black blood turned to ash and vanished completely, leaving only a strand of pure Te Shu De Fa split into two, one part stored in his bag.

This can be used as reference.

【2】 Han Lin only felt his chest loosen.

Han Lin only felt his chest loosen.

The foreign power that for many days had required him to expend vast amounts of magic power every moment to suppress and wear down was now gone without a trace. Granulation sprouted across his wounds; recovery was visible to the naked eye. His entire body relaxed utterly, restored anew.

"Little Martial Uncle…"

He could not help but show a look of gratitude.

Since beginning his cultivation, he had seen plenty of deceit and treachery, but only this one person could earn a measure of his trust—someone he would dare approach even in a gravely wounded state.

Because the other party simply disdained taking anything; there was no need.

"This is for you."

Jiang Ding tossed over the remaining share of Fa Yi.

"This thing is called Fa Yi. If you can comprehend it, it will increase your strength, increase the intensity and purity of your magic power and divine soul. Comprehension places certain demands on one's aptitude for enlightenment and on the purity of one's magic power and divine soul."

Influenced by the Immortal Gate, if there were spoils of battle, he would distribute them to those who had contributed to the fight.

Of course, originally he would have given at most half a share, but this time the other party had brought important intelligence, so he gave half.

"Thank you, Little Martial Uncle."

Han Lin, knowing the other's temperament, took this wisp of Six Paths Fa Yi with a touch of fire in his heart.

As for the other's strength, he felt no surprise whatsoever.

Over a hundred years ago, this person could already slay a late-stage Jin Dan cultivator while at Foundation Establishment. Although the Six Paths Holy Son is hailed as the Zhengmo Alliance's number one prodigy, compared to this one, he must still fall short by quite a margin and poses no threat.
