Chapter 465: The Boss Is Weak, His Subordinates

"Boss!"

"Thanks to you this time, we were able to escape from that damned place." Heifeng said emotionally.

After Longling led them to successfully escape from the Ancient God Sect Ruins, Heifeng's admiration for Longling grew even stronger.

Longling not only possessed extraordinary strength, but also extraordinary wisdom, able to find a way out in desperate straits, which made him heartily submit.

Upon hearing this, Longling merely smiled faintly and did not speak further!

Cultivators who defy heaven find this path of cultivation not only fraught with difficulty and danger, but in perilous times it often endangers their lives.

The Ancient God Sect Ruins are merely a small episode on the road of cultivation; the future path of cultivation is still very long, there is nothing to be proud of, steady progress ensures safety and smoothness, allowing one to go far.

"Heifeng, what are your plans next?" Longling asked.

Heifeng thought for a moment, then said seriously: "Boss, if you don't mind, I would like to invite you to our Black Clan's base in the Tianji Shengyu."

"There the resources are abundant, the environment stable, you can cultivate in peace and restore your strength."

Longling pondered for a moment, knowing that the Black Clan must have a base in the Tianji Shengyu.

Moreover, he had just escaped from the Ancient God Sect Ruins and only recently entered the Tianji Shengyu; many things are not well understood, and now he indeed needs a safe place to rest and recuperate.

Furthermore, he also wanted to use this opportunity to learn more about the Tianji Shengyu, and incidentally see if he could gather information on Heiyao's movements.

Heiyao is the heir of the Demon Lord, also possessing the Demon Lord's inherited treasure, able to easily control people's hearts; such methods are overly deceitful, making him a formidable foe.

"Good, then I shall obey rather than show mere respect."

"Let's go take a look at your Black Clan's base." Longling nodded in agreement.

Seeing Longling agree, Heifeng was overjoyed, immediately began arranging the itinerary and notified the clan to prepare for the welcome.

On the way to the Tianji Shengyu, Longling was not idle.

He used this time to cultivate his divine sense, comprehend the mysteries of the Ultimate Path Divine Sense law, while organizing the gains from the Ancient God Sect Ruins, contemplating how to further enhance his strength.

After a period of flight, Longling and his companions finally reached the edge of the Tianji Shengyu.

Here the spiritual energy is abundant, the scenery pleasant, cultivators can be seen flying in the sky everywhere, a scene of prosperity.

Heifeng led Longling to the Black Clan's base, where a massive city came into view, its walls etched with the marks of time, appearing solemn and mysterious.

The city gate bore the Black Clan's emblem, displaying the clan's glory and history.

After entering the city, Heifeng brought Longling to the clan's residence, having arranged everything, he then went to inform the clan's higher-ups of Longling's arrival.

The Black Clan's higher-ups, upon learning of Longling's arrival, attached great importance to it.

Having heard of Longling's performance in the Ancient God Sect Ruins, they firmly believed he was a cultivator of limitless potential.

If they could ally with the Black Clan, it would be greatly beneficial to the Black Clan's future development.

Under the Black Clan's warm hospitality, Longling felt their enthusiasm and sincerity.

In the Black Clan's base, he cultivated in peace, while exchanging cultivation insights with the clan's higher-ups and inquiring about special circumstances of the Tianji Shengyu.

During his days in the Tianji Shengyu, Longling not only recovered the vital energy expended in the Ancient God Sect Ruins, but also gained new inspiration from his exchanges with the Black Clan, giving him a clearer understanding of his cultivation path.

Moreover, the Black Clan, thanks to Longling's arrival, gained many precious cultivation experiences, and the friendship between both sides deepened in this exchange.

As a powerful clan in the Tianji Shengyu, the Black Clan has always been an existence feared by other forces.

However, even such a powerful clan inevitably faces challenges from external strong enemies.

"Boom—"

One day, a great external force, seeking vengeance, launched a fierce attack on the Black Clan.

The Black Clan's strong ones all took action, engaging in fierce combat with the enemy.

Unfortunately, due to the enemy's overwhelming strength, the Black Clan's strong ones fell one after another, leaving the clan facing an unprecedented crisis.

Heifeng and others suffered heavy injuries in the battle; they knew that without external aid, the Black Clan might face annihilation today.

At this critical juncture, they thought of Longling, a cultivator possessing the Ultimate Path Divine Sense, whose wisdom and strength might be able to turn the tide.

"Boss, the Black Clan is on the brink of destruction today; we… we are beyond help."

Heifeng endured the pain and pleaded for help from Longling.

Longling looked at the Black Clan's miserable state, his heart also startled.

He knew that if the great force's rival, the Fierce Tiger Sect, succeeded, the entire Black City would become a target of public criticism; since he was a guest in the Black City's Black Clan, and Heifeng was his subordinate, he could not stand idly by.

"Heifeng, you have already done your best.

"From now on, leave it to me." Longling said in a low voice, a flash of determination in his eyes.

"The strong are revered; the weak can only cling or be eliminated.

"You need not lose heart; once you become strong, you can surely repeat the glory of the Black Clan's predecessors!" Longling said confidently upon seeing Heifeng's dejected face.

Heifeng's eyes turned red; upon hearing this, he clenched his fists tightly, feeling deep gratitude toward Longling.

The Black City had reached a critical moment of life and death; the Boss still did not forget to encourage himself, and Heifeng swore that he would certainly become a breakthrough powerhouse capable of changing the Black Clan's current standing in the world.

"You go unite the remaining strong ones of the Black Clan; I will set up the formations."

Longling spoke, then vanished from the spot.

During this time he had some understanding of the Black City; the Ultimate Path Divine Sense's range is extremely broad, easily enveloping it, perfectly suited to lay down various formations and traps, thereby to confront the strong enemies of the Fierce Tiger Sect.

"Boom—"

Soon, the cultivators hovering around the periphery of the Fierce Tiger Sect launched another sweeping attack; Longling observed the enemy's movements from the shadows, seeking the best moment to strike.

"Bang bang bang—"

Under Longling's command, the Black Clan's strong ones engaged in mobile combat with the enemy.

Longling used his Ultimate Path Divine Sense to discern the enemy's weaknesses, enabling the Black Clan's strong ones to anticipate the enemy's moves; each of their strikes precisely hit the vital points of the Fierce Tiger Sect's strong ones!

Gradually, the Fierce Tiger Sect's enemies began to show signs of retreat.

Above the Black Clan's territory, war clouds gathered densely, the tension reaching its peak.

Longling stood before the Black Clan, his gaze firm, an intangible pressure emanating from his whole body, causing even the strong ones of opposing forces to glance sideways.

"Your Excellency, since you are not a strong expert of the Black tribe, why must you step into these muddy waters?"

"If you are sensible, hurry up and leave."

"Otherwise, our Sect Leader, Lord Hulie Di, will arrive and surely leave you without a burial place."

"The leader of the Liehu Sect is a burly man clad in black battle armor, named Tie Tu."

"His strength is also renowned in the Tianji Shengyu; with his pair of iron fists, he has defeated countless opponents."

"Tie Tu gazed at Longling; a flash of coldness flickered in his eyes as he spoke, his voice reverberating across the battlefield like thunder."

"Longling remained unmoved; he calmly replied, 'The Black tribe and I share affinity; today I shall lend aid to the Black tribe.'"

"As soon as Longling's words fell, Tie Tu let out a furious roar, his figure shooting forth like a black bolt of lightning straight toward Longling."

"Black qi coiled around his fists, carrying a destructive power as if it could shatter the void."

"Boss, let Heisha fight him."

"That Tie Tu is not worthy of your personal intervention!"

"At that moment, the Heisha on Longling's body spoke."

"His body erupted in black light; the space behind him twisted, and a huge ancient coffin appeared. This coffin is about a hundred zhang tall, pitch-black as ink, emitting a faint dark fluorescence, its surface covered in ancient runes that exude an archaic and mighty power."

"Kill!"

"Heisha pointed at Tie Tu, and the massive black coffin instantly stirred; its lid lifted slightly, and a huge black light beam shot straight toward Tie Tu."

"This is the mysterious technique, the Great Dark Black Coffin, that he obtained while following Longling at the ruins of the Ancient God Sect."

"This technique draws upon the power of the Nine Netherworlds to condense the Great Dark Black Coffin, which possesses not only offensive capability but also defensive power."

"Earlier, when the ruins of the Ancient God Sect emerged, a battle calamity appeared; he used the yin-yang fiendish blood qi to successfully condense the Great Dark Black Coffin. Now, seeing Tie Tu seize the opportunity to attack, he unleashes the Great Dark Black Coffin to test the true might of this technique."

"Huh?"

"Tie Tu saw this, a flash of surprise flickered in his eyes."

"He then let out a cold snort, his fists slamming together to form a black light sphere that collided with the black light beam."

"Boom!"

"Their collision erupted in a deafening roar, light radiating everywhere, shaking the entire battlefield with this powerful energy surge."

"The figures of Heisha and Tie Tu intertwined in midair, each collision bursting with blinding light."

"The Great Dark Black Coffin on Heisha is etched with strange patterns; each vibration carries a sound of rending space, while Tie Tu relies on his formidable flesh to resist, each punch brimming with destructive force."

"As the battle intensified, Heisha's Great Dark Black Coffin suddenly ceased its motion, and all the black qi began to surge toward the coffin's opening."

"From that black coffin erupted an unprecedentedly powerful aura, causing the entire space to tremble."

"\"Great Dark Black Coffin, seal! \" Heisha shouted loudly, and the Great Dark Black Coffin smashed fiercely toward Tie Tu."

"Black light orbs shot forth one after another, each orb containing terrifying power and will."

"These orbs intertwined in midair to form a huge black claw that enveloped Tie Tu."

"Tie Tu's eyes finally showed a hint of shock; he swiftly mobilized his full strength, attempting to block this sudden attack."

"However, the might of Heisha's Great Dark Black Coffin was too great; even Tie Tu felt an unprecedented pressure."

"Rumble..."

"Golden light net and black sword"

"The destructive shockwave from their battle caused the entire space to tremble."

"Boom..."

"Finally, Tie Tu's body was hybridized by the Great Dark Black Coffin, terrifying power like a meteor falling from the sky, the tremendous impact directly slammed Tie Tu into the ground."

"On the ground, dust flew up; a huge pit appeared centered on Tie Tu, while the Great Dark Black Coffin firmly pinned him down."

"Lord Heisha is mighty, Lord Longling is mighty..."

"Seeing this, the Black tribe's cultivators all cheered, shouting excitedly."

"Damn it, quickly let me out!"

"Otherwise, Sect Leader Hulie Di will know and will certainly not spare you."

"At this moment, Tie Tu exerted all his strength, yet still could not break free from the Great Dark Black Coffin's suppression, and he spoke threateningly."

"His voice was filled with fear and anger, yet also revealed absolute trust and reverence for 'Hulie Di'."

"It seemed that in their hearts, the person named 'Hulie Di' was an invincible existence, the sole war god of their Liehu Sect."

"Heifeng, can you find out where this Hulie Di comes from?"

"Longling turned to Heifeng beside him and inquired."

"Boss, during this time I also inquired among the tribe's elders."

"The Liehu Sect was originally just a minor force in Lihu City, known as the Lihu Gang."

"But not long ago, it suddenly changed its name to the Liehu Sect."

"This is all because of their newly appointed Sect Leader, Hulie Di."

"Recently, the name 'Hulie Di' has been like thunder in the ears around Lihu City; with his domineering power and ruthless methods, he frenziedly annexed the forces of surrounding cities, causing countless powers to tremble at the mere mention of his name."

"Fortunately, this time the boss has arrived at Black City; otherwise, even our Black tribe's base would be hard to preserve."

"After hearing Heifeng's words, Longling nodded, but she was not afraid; her eyes held no fear, instead showing a hint of interest."

"Heisha and Heifeng sensed Longling's attitude, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with trust and support; since the boss fears nothing, what do they have to fear?"

"Rumble..."

"Just as Heisha, following Longling's order, had imprisoned Tie Tu and was about to detain him, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled."

"A powerful pressure descended from the heavens, as if the whole world were about to tremble."

"This power, filled with ferocity and wildness, makes one's blood run cold."

"Here it comes!"

Heisha's eyes narrowed, sensing the master of this power; he guessed it might be the lord of the Fierce Tiger Sect, the one who makes people tremble at the mere mention of his name, 'Hulie Di'.

Roar……

Immediately after, a deafening tiger's roar echoed through the clouds, shaking the buildings in the Black Clan's territory so they trembled slightly.

In the sky, a huge black shadow dharma appearance slowly descended, accompanied by gales and lightning, like a demon god descending.

That black shadow dharma appearance gradually became clear, revealing its true form—a gigantic black tiger, tens of zhang tall, with distinct muscle lines, full of explosive power.

Its eyes were like two burning fireballs, flickering with a bloodthirsty light.

What was most striking was the deep fissure on its forehead, like a wound in heaven and earth, emanating a power that made one's heart palpitate.

The black tiger slowly tore open the cloud layer and appeared; the entire sky trembled because of it.

At this moment, in the center of the black tiger's dharma appearance, a person wearing a tiger-striped robe was meditating with eyes closed; this was Hulie Di, a being recently in the Tianji Shengyu who makes people tremble at the mere mention of his name.

Each of its appearances was accompanied by a bloody wind and blood rain, causing countless beings to suffer.

Behind Hulie Di followed a group of powerful individuals, their aura equally mighty and ferocious, obviously Hulie Di's loyal followers.

Their eyes were filled with worship and awe for Hulie Di, as if he were their faith and reliance.

'Who dares to harm my sect's people? Truly ignorant of life and death!'

Hulie Di's voice was like thunder, shaking people's eardrums painfully; that powerful voice echoed in every corner of the Black Clan's territory.

The great battle seemed about to erupt at any moment, and the entire Black Clan's territory fell into a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

All the cultivators of Black City knew that this would be a battle of life and death.

Boom——

The dark clouds in the sky grew heavier, the thunder more frequent, as if even heaven and earth were trembling for the impending great battle.

Under Hulie Di's chilling aura, the Black Clan's people felt an unprecedented panic.

【140) They gathered together, their faces full of despair and helplessness.

They gathered together, their faces filled with despair and helplessness.

'Good heavens, that's Hulie Di!'

'Even its dharma appearance is so terrifying—how can we possibly defeat it?' A young Black Clan cultivator's voice trembled, his eyes full of fear.

'It's over; if Longling the Great cannot stop this this time, the Black Clan will truly be finished, we have no way to survive.' An elderly Black Clan person shook his head in despair, his face full of sorrow.

'I've heard that Hulie Di's underlings never leave a survivor; are we just going to wait to die like this?' A woman tightly hugged her own child, tears welling in her eyes.

'Don't be afraid, everyone!'

Longling the Great will surely protect us.

'He previously led us through so many difficulties; this time he will surely succeed as well!' Heifeng said upon hearing this, trying to boost everyone's morale.

But such encouragement appeared pale and powerless before Hulie Di's terror.

The Black Clan's people's hearts were filled with unease and panic, not knowing what would happen next, not knowing whether the Black Clan could continue to exist.

Heifeng and the Black and White Double Evils stood beside Longling, their faces also showing a solemn expression.

This Hulie Di is unlike any previous opponent; it is a true demon, an existence capable of easily destroying an entire clan.

'Don't panic, everyone!'

Longling at this moment, after seeing the figure in the black tiger's dharma appearance clearly, began to laugh.

'Hulie Di may be strong, but the Black Clan is not a lamb to be slaughtered.'

As long as we unite as one, nothing is unconquerable.

After hearing Longling's words, the Black Clan's cultivators thought he was comforting them, and suddenly shouted.

'The Black Clan cannot just give up like this!' A Black Clan youth also clenched his fists, eyes flashing with determined light, echoing.

'Let's fight together with our elders and defend Black City!' Another Black Clan person also shouted in agreement.

Hulie Di hovered in the sky, without a trace, slowly lowered his eyelids, and the corner of his mouth gave a cold smile.

Recently, he has been gathering the surrounding cities; such incidents have happened too often.

However, when the dark light in his corner of the eye suddenly fell on Longling, his eyes widened like copper bells, and his neck instantly stretched out.

'Monster…… monster……'
