Chapter 56: The Sacred Land is Established, It's Time to Move Against Salas

"Greetings, Holy Master!" the four great guardian Spirit Beasts shouted in unison.

Even though they were in the air, they still lowered their heads for Lingxu.

Lingxu said indifferently, "You may now guard the four directions; your habitats have already been prepared."

"Thank you, Holy Master!"

Naturally, the four great Spirit Beasts needed habitats to guard the four directions; there was a special area within the Shengdi where they could live.

At this moment, the level 72 Soul Saint, who dared not move in the air, was stunned.

The four Spirit Beasts before him were clearly at the 100,000-year level, and each one was extraordinary.

For him to come and kill Lingxu—wasn't this just throwing his life away?

Which heaven-forsaken dog was it that issued this order!

After cursing the entire family of the person who issued the order, he looked at Lingxu with a helpless expression.

If this were on the ground, he might have knelt down directly, but unfortunately, this was in the air.

Lingxu said, "Are you here to kill me?"

"No, no, I... I was just passing by, just passing by. Please let me leave, I really was just passing by."

Sweat flowed incessantly from the Soul Saint's forehead, and his nervous body was already trembling.

Lingxu said, "Are you sure?"

"Speak, which organization's assassin are you? Who sent you?" Lingxu shouted.

This sentence gave the other party quite a fright.

"I am not from an assassin organization; a masked man just found me and said he would give me a 10,000 Gold Soul Coin deposit to kill you, and would give me another 20,000 Gold Soul Coins after the deed was done, that is all."

"Not an assassin organization?"

"Then do you know who the other party is?" Lingxu asked.

"I don't know, but judging by the voice, the age should not be young."

"Then where is your meeting place after you succeed?" Lingxu said.

The Soul Saint looked at Lingxu in terror and said, "If I tell you, can you spare my life?"

Lingxu said, "It depends on your performance. If you perform well, I can consider it; if not, you should know the consequences."

"I'll talk, I'll talk!" the Soul Saint said.

"As long as I succeed, I am to order a cup of clear sake at table number seven near the window on the second floor of the Coconut Grove Tavern in Heaven Dou City, sit for an hour, and then go to the small alley behind it; he will come to settle the remaining 20,000 Gold Soul Coins."

"Sigh... blinded by Gold Soul Coins, I actually wanted to kill you, my lord."

Thinking about it, he felt stupid; 30,000 Gold Soul Coins to kill a Soul Elder—even if there was someone behind it, this was simply too much.

In the face of absolute strength, this Soul Saint was still sensible.

After all, he was a professional assassin from an assassin organization.

Perhaps Salas felt that since Yueying had tried several times and failed, he had increased the Gold Soul Coins, even though the person who took the order had been unable to complete the task for a long time.

That was why he found such a Soul Saint to kill him.

Previously, Lingxu was afraid that Bibi Dong would send a Title Douluo to kill him, as in that case, even his family would find it hard to protect him.

But now the situation was very different from before.

When the situation is different, the strategy must change.

After absorbing the 50,000-year Spirit Bone Suit, Ling Bufan already had the ability to contend with a Title Douluo, and combined with the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with his mother, Luo Xingyue, it was already considered quite stable.

Secondly, there was the protection of the Puffer Douluo and the Snake Spear Douluo; Lingxu was still quite at ease about this, as they only listened to the orders of Qian Daoliu and had joined the Lingxue Sacred Land, so it was impossible for them to listen to Bibi Dong's orders.

Finally, there was the protection of these four great Spirit Beasts; even if Bibi Dong came in person, it would be of no avail.

It was just a pity that the four great guardian Spirit Beasts could not leave the Lingxue Sacred Land too far; starting from ten kilometers, they would lose 1% of their strength for every kilometer.

But at least they could still reach into Heaven Dou City, and united, the Lingxue Sacred Land remained solid.

So in the current situation, Lingxu had no need to worry at all.

Then this Salas could also be dealt with!

"What is your name? What do you do in Heaven Dou City?" Lingxu asked.

"My lord, my name is Zhang Wu, and I am a guest official of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Zhang Wu? Then what about Zhang Quan?" Lingxu knew that Zhang Quan had made things difficult for Qian Renxue when she entered the city.

Zhang Wu said, "That is my older brother! My lord, do you know my big brother?"

Lingxu said coldly, "I don't know him, but my friend does. Alright, now I will give you a chance to live; I will pretend to disappear, and then you get Salas to come out. I want evidence of him trying to kill me."

"I can do that, I will definitely cooperate," Zhang Wu said.

Lingxu said, "But not now, it might take a while; you will just stay here for this period."

"White Tiger, you are responsible for guarding him. If he leaves your sight by a hundred meters before I return, kill him immediately," Lingxu said.

"Yes, Holy Master," White Tiger responded.

Lingxu said, "Alright, you all take your positions; someone will definitely come to check on the commotion just now."

Whoosh...

The four guardian Spirit Beasts immediately separated to the four directions and returned to their respective places, and Lingxu also took this Zhang Wu to the location where White Tiger was.

Lingxu flew into the air again, not having had the time to carefully tour this Lingxue Sacred Land.

"Sect Protecting Array, rise!"

The next moment, bursts of mist began to permeate, and then the entire Lingxue Sacred Land disappeared before Lingxu's eyes.

It had completely hidden itself within the mountains.

Looking from the air, the area below looked exactly the same as before.

This was the marvelous use of the Sect Protecting Array provided by the system, which could hide the entire sect.

Following that, there are four more arrays ahead.

The first is a Maze Array; once inside, one will lose their sense of direction, though this mainly targets ordinary people and common Spirit Masters, having little effect on those above the Soul Emperor level.

Even if you walk inside, you will not be lost within; it will cause you to automatically walk back out.

The second is an Illusion Array, which targets Spirit Masters below the Spirit Douluo level; once inside, one will be affected by the Illusion Array.

The third is a Killing Array, targeting those below the Title Douluo level; those who intrude rashly will either die or be injured.

The fourth is the most pure Defense Array; it is very difficult for Title Douluo below Hunshiliujiji to break through, and even for a Title Douluo at Hunshiliujiji or above, it is not easy to break through using only individual strength.

Near Heaven Dou City, the only one capable of having Hunshiliujiji soul power is Sword Douluo.

Even if he came and broke through the array with a powerful attack, there are four guardian Spirit Beasts, and if only one comes, that Sword Douluo would not be an opponent.

Therefore, Lingxue Sacred Land is absolutely safe in Heaven Dou City.

Flying down from Mingling Mountain, Lingxu began to conceal himself while also disguising his appearance.

From now on, he must use Disguise, then go to Heaven Dou City to coordinate with his family, striving to finally finish off Salas once the evidence is ironclad.

Lingxu hid and traveled along the ground; under the cover of darkness, it was difficult for him to be discovered.

Just as he was moving, Lingxu saw a green light streak across the sky, with three people flying toward Mingling Mountain.

Among them, one person was stepping on a giant sword and was carrying another person behind them.

Lingxu knew that the commotion at Mingling Mountain would certainly attract the attention of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

This was also unavoidable, so before Lingxu left, he had issued orders to the four guardian Spirit Beasts.

Regardless of who it is, if they break the array and attempt to force their way in, kill them without mercy.
