Chapter 668: The Terrifying Demonic Sect

Ye Lin was so angry he stomped his feet on the spot.

This is too much, too bullying; isn't this blatant discrimination?

It's one thing that the lightning tribulation doesn't strike him even when he breaks a Dao oath, and he's tolerated it not striking him when he breaks through realms.

But now, even when he tries to piggyback on someone else's lightning tribulation, the tribulation just runs away—is this reasonable?

Sang Yankai and Gu Qianxue had completely petrified on the spot.

The scenes unfolding before their eyes had completely shattered their worldview and exceeded their range of understanding.

What had they just seen? The lightning tribulation ran away?

And that lightning tribulation ran very fast, as if something filthy were chasing it from behind.

They had never heard of anyone being able to scare a lightning tribulation away directly; that was a lightning tribulation!

Sang Yankai even lowered his head to check his own realm; he really had stepped into the Primordial Origin Realm, which meant he had successfully survived the lightning tribulation.

It wasn't a dream; it was all real.

"Bad luck!"

Ye Lin couldn't help but curse again.

He had originally been hoping to piggyback on a few more life-and-death tribulations.

"How did you do that?" Gu Qianxue couldn't help but ask.

Although she knew it wasn't very polite to ask, she had no choice; she was simply too curious.

"I don't know. As soon as I came out, that lightning tribulation turned around and ran, like it saw a ghost. Psychopath!"

Ye Lin spread his hands. Once his strength increased, he would definitely rush up and interrogate this damn lightning tribulation to see what it meant by running away every time it saw him.

"Let's go, let's go. Back to the sect to turn in the mission. You come with me too."

Ye Lin called for Sang Yankai. Their mission this time was originally only to deal with Su Shan; coming to find Sang Yankai was just a side task.

The group of three returned to the Immortal Cloud Sect.

Since Sang Yankai was not an Immortal Cloud Sect disciple and practiced the Blood Dao, Ye Lin arranged for him to stay at the nursing home at the foot of the Immortal Cloud Sect mountain.

Sang Yankai's strength was just right for guarding the gate.

Afterward, he and Gu Qianxue returned to the Mission Hall to hand in Su Shan's head, successfully completing the mission.

"What are your plans next?" Gu Qianxue couldn't help but look at Ye Lin and ask.

"Improve my strength, and also, find some people."

Ye Lin narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in their depths.

He believed that Professor Shen, Zhuge Ni, and the others were definitely still alive.

Before, he had always been struggling and fighting just to survive, so he never had time to look for anyone.

Now that his strength had improved, he finally had time to spare to look for his old acquaintances.

However, the Longevity Continent was vast beyond measure—North Underworld, East Profound, Central Province, West Realm, South Domain—any one of these places was large enough that a cultivator could spend their entire life without ever walking out of it.

Ye Lin's current range of activity hadn't even left the sphere of influence of the Immortal Cloud Sect, and the territory of the Immortal Cloud Sect was but a drop in the ocean of the East Profound region of the Longevity Continent.

How could it be easy to find old acquaintances on the Longevity Continent?

More importantly, there was a faint sense of vigilance in the depths of Ye Lin's heart.

If other cultivators on the Longevity Continent couldn't guess that the extraterrestrial demon stuck in the sky was him, how could Zhuge Ni, Shen Jingbin, Bai Si, and the others not guess it?

Yet, for so long, he hadn't heard any news about anyone looking for him; the only thing that happened was someone from the Ancient Hall of Heavenly Secrets inexplicably popping up and killing him once.

Perhaps there were other variables on this Longevity Continent that he didn't know about.

This was also the reason why Ye Lin didn't dare to expose his identity to the outside world with great fanfare.

His strength was still too weak, which made him feel very insecure, especially since the Human Emperor Flag hadn't been repaired yet.

After returning to his cave dwelling, Ye Lin pulled out the cultivation method for the Blood Refining Dao without a word.

What could improve his strength the fastest right now was undoubtedly these messy evil arts.

Eternal Refining of the Blood God: besides refining others, one could naturally also refine oneself, using one's own blood as cultivation material, though under normal circumstances, no one would do this.

As the Eternal Refining of the Blood God started, the blood in Ye Lin's body began to be refined by him bit by bit.

To speed up his cultivation, Ye Lin pulled out an artery in each hand and bit down on them, just like holding two straws.

Under such a massive supply of blood resources, Ye Lin's Blood Refining Dao quickly reached a proficient level.

After cultivating for half a month, Ye Lin stopped.

He spat out the two shriveled arteries.

Although the cultivation speed of the Blood Refining method was already very fast, allowing him to break through again in half a month to reach the late stage of the Earth Fiend Realm, it still wasn't enough compared to Endless Devouring; after all, Endless Devouring directly plundered the cultivation of others.

"I still need to go out and gain experience."

Ye Lin muttered to himself. He couldn't kill people from the Immortal Cloud Sect, and if he stayed holed up in the Immortal Cloud Sect to cultivate, he would probably be at it until the end of time.

Ye Lin went down the mountain and found Sang Yankai, then cut his own wrist and poured a bowl of hot blood for himself and Sang Yankai each.

"Sang Yankai, let me ask you, is there any place nearby where everyone is a villain? The kind of place where everyone is an evil cultivator and no one does anything decent?" Ye Lin asked after taking a sip of the hot blood.

"Where would there be such a place nearby? You look down on the Immortal Cloud Sect too much."

Sang Yankai gave a bitter smile.

"The evil cultivators near the Immortal Cloud Sect are either like me, not daring to harm anyone at all, or they were killed by Immortal Cloud Sect disciples as experience points before they could amount to anything."

Ye Lin frowned.

"Then if I want to find such a place, where should I go?"

"At the very least, you have to go to the border between East Profound and North Underworld. The borders between great domains often don't have major sects stationed there, which gives those demonic cultivators a chance to breathe."

"And there, there is a very terrifying demonic sect!"

Speaking of this, Sang Yankai shivered involuntarily, seemingly truly frightened.

Ye Lin couldn't help but roll his eyes and picked up an artery to spray blood onto Sang Yankai's face.

"Can you have some backbone? You practice the Blood Dao; among evil cultivators, you're considered T0 tier. Why are you afraid of this and that every day?"

"It's not that! I'm not exaggerating; that demonic sect is really terrifying!"

Sang Yankai wiped his face, his eyes showing three parts fear, three parts wariness, three parts horror, and if one looked closely, there seemed to be one part yearning?

"Oh? Then tell me, what is that demonic sect called?" Ye Lin became interested.

Sang Yankai turned his head, stared fixedly at Ye Lin, and said word by word.

"Joyous—Union—Sect!"
