Chapter 317: Changes

Everyone present came from the Buildings.

If the origin of these Buildings was truly related to the Evil God.

Then, since Lang Heng had already made a move against Ji Wei, he could also make a move against them.

"No, we must disperse immediately, otherwise we will be rounded up by Lang Heng."

Cheng Yang spoke, and everyone present nodded in agreement.

They were the high-level officials of Zhonglian Country, and also the thorns in the side of Lang Heng and other cultivators from the outside world.

This group was just preparing to leave when the alarm in the manor suddenly sounded.

Cheng Yang looked up and immediately sensed a powerful aura.

At this moment, the entire manor was shrouded by a Formation.

"A Formation!"

"A True Immortal!"

"What a grand display by Lang Heng!"

The faces of those present changed drastically.

To capture them, Lang Heng had actually dispatched a True Immortal and even used a Formation; this was to round them all up.

"By the order of the Venerable Immortal Lang Heng, the Human Race here is colluding with the Evil God; the crime is punishable by death, and they shall be Slayed!"

The one who spoke was a True Immortal with flowing long robes.

His eyes carried a dense intent to kill.

With a wave of his hand, the Formation surged continuously.

"Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

The long-robed True Immortal spoke, his voice devoid of any mercy, directed straight at Cheng Yang and the others.

The expressions of Cheng Yang, Zhuge Anran, Luo Yu, and the others changed drastically.

Facing a True Immortal, even if their strength were ten times greater, they would still be no match at all.

Everyone looked at each other, exchanging countless pieces of information.

In the end, they sighed helplessly, gave up their resistance, and were taken away by this Venerable Immortal.

Resisting at this moment might result in being killed on the spot by this True Immortal.

……

Inside the hotel, Lang Heng was dressed in a black robe.

Below him, the long-robed True Immortal walked over, a look of respect on his face: "My Lord, those remnants of the Evil God have been captured and brought in."

"Good."

"My Lord, should these remnants of the Evil God be Slayed immediately?"

"No need, keep them for now." Lang Heng's eyes held a look of confidence, "Their lives are cheap; killing them is just killing them."

However, I want to lure out the person behind them.

It was naturally through his own channels that Lang Heng learned these people came from the Buildings.

Moreover, through certain means, he also learned that behind these Buildings, there was not only the Evil God but also an Evil God suspected to be Qi Ping.

However, while it was said to be Qi Ping, it was actually Xu Ling.

Originally, he had stopped pretending and had formed a grudge with Yusu.

Now that he knew that Xu Ling had an unfathomable relationship with Yusu and was also suspected of being related to the Evil God.

Behind Yusu was Wendi Immortal Lord, whom he could not touch.

But what did that Xu Ling amount to?

Although the news he received stated that Xu Ling's strength was unfathomable.

According to the claims of Chi Yu and Dang Gui, he was suspected to be a newly ascended deity.

Deities are very strong, but Lang Heng did not care about such rogue cultivators at all.

Of course, the fact that the Magic Armor had disappeared and failed to fulfill the agreement was something Lang Heng could understand.

Now, he was going to lure out Xu Ling to dampen Yusu's prestige.

"Right, do not keep them under too much tension, understand?" Lang Heng reminded him again.

"Understood," the long-robed True Immortal replied.

"Wait half a month; if nothing happens, then kill them all." Lang Heng was also casual with his decision.

It would be best if he could lure out Xu Ling; if not, it did not matter.

In any case, he intended to Slay all the troublemakers in this world.

This was to better consolidate power and search for that Supreme Treasure.

"My Lord, these remnants of the Evil God are very special; they have been practicing Immortal Cultivation for less than a hundred years, yet the strongest among them has already reached the Sixth Tier."

"Such talent and strength, even if placed in the Tianfang Alliance, would count as genius figures," the long-robed True Immortal said, a look of contemplation in his eyes.

"The Evil God, after all, always has some strange ways to increase strength, but it requires sacrificing lifespan and foundation, so they are not to be feared." Lang Heng did not care about this at all, "Right, is Yusu still in the Tianfang Alliance now?"

Lang Heng's move this time was precisely to take advantage of Yusu's absence.

"Still in the Alliance; I estimate he will not come for a while."

"Hmm, how much longer until Master arrives here?" A look of gravity appeared on Lang Heng's face.

Now, in order to find that Supreme Treasure.

The full power of the Tianfang Alliance had been deployed.

The current Ancient War World was considered one of the five worlds most likely to contain the Supreme Treasure.

Thus, his Master had also been dispatched to the Ancient War World to search for the Supreme Treasure.

"They will arrive within ten days."

"Hmm." Lang Heng nodded, "Change the time; nine days from now, Slay all of those people."

"As you command."

Inside the prison, the security was tight.

Zhuge Anran, Cheng Yang, Dongfang Zhen, and others were confined in the same room.

At this moment, their brows were furrowed, and their complexions were not very good.

Outside the cell, a haggard look appeared on Liu Yuze's face: "Cheng Yang, the news from outside is very bad."

Cheng Yang looked at his good friend Liu Yuze and sighed in his heart.

Liu Yuze was not a person from the Building, so he was not implicated.

"How is it?"

"According to the latest rumors, it is estimated that by the end of this month, it will..." Liu Yuze did not say the words that followed.

But everyone in the prison understood; that was their death date.

Now the month had reached its final ten days, and there were only a few days left until the end of the month.

"Lang Heng has the ambition of a wolf; he is truly detestable." Cheng Yang's expression was cold and stern.

It was a pity that they were trapped here and were completely powerless against Lang Heng.

"Sigh, our Zhonglian Country... sigh." Someone sighed.

If Lang Heng and the others were to Slay them, they would completely control Zhonglian Country.

Those cultivators of the Tianfang Alliance treated them, these Ordinary people, no differently than those Evil God.

In order to find the Supreme Treasure, Lang Heng would even be willing to sacrifice all the Ordinary people of Zhonglian Country.

It could be said that the current situation in Zhonglian Country had deteriorated to the Ultimate.

"What exactly is Lang Heng's intention? He captured us, but he neither interrogates us nor keeps us in total confinement." Dongfang Zhen was quite puzzled in his heart.

They were locked up here, and Lang Heng's people had not even seen them.

Moreover, Lang Heng did not restrict others from seeing them.

They had already been in the prison for several days, and only some friends had come to see them.

"Perhaps in Lang Heng's eyes, we are just small bugs that he doesn't care about at all; he'll just find any excuse and kill us if he wants to." Cheng Yang sighed.

Such things were very common at any time.

When there were no practitioners of Immortal Cultivation, the most powerful people were those who controlled power.

There were many ways to kill a person.

People lived in an unfair era, but death was fair.

Nowadays, the most powerful people were those with the greatest strength.

At this time, even time itself was unfair.

These people were very strong in Zhonglian Country, but in front of Lang Heng, they counted for nothing.

"Is there a possibility that Lang Heng's goal is not just to deal with us, but has a deeper purpose?" Zhuge Anran's expression was calm.

His experiences in the Building made him think more calmly and remain unruffled when encountering events.

Everyone present furrowed their brows.

They could not figure out Lang Heng's purpose.

"Now that we are trapped, what is our only hope?" Zhuge Anran spoke up.

"Mr. Xu Ling?" Cheng Yang said doubtfully.

In fact, when they were first trapped, they had also thought about asking Xu Ling for help.

However, Lang Heng had the Tianfang Alliance behind him, and they were not sure if Mr. Xu Ling could deal with the Tianfang Alliance.

Therefore, they did not want to implicate Mr. Xu Ling.

Furthermore, they had previously formed a connection with Mr. Xu Ling because of the Building.

At that time, Mr. Xu Ling had indeed said that if they encountered special events, they could contact him.

But the Building had disappeared, and the bond between them and Mr. Xu Ling had vanished.

They were now not qualified to seek out Xu Ling.

"Is there a possibility that Lang Heng's goal is to lure Mr. Xu Ling into taking action to save us?" Zhuge Anran's expression was calm.

The people present frowned.

They also accepted this line of reasoning.

Mr. Xu Ling was well-acquainted with Fairy Yusu, and their relationship was very deep.

Lang Heng was also hostile toward Fairy Yusu.

"It seems that we need to inform Mr. Xu Ling about the situation here." Ji Wei spoke up, rubbing his smooth head.

Originally, they had agreed on a unified stance not to implicate Mr. Xu Ling because of the Building's affairs, so they had not asked Mr. Xu Ling for help.

Now, if Lang Heng's target was Xu Ling, then... this matter needed to be made known to Mr. Xu Ling.

Their contact with Mr. Xu Ling was one-sided, so there was no need to worry about Mr. Xu Ling's whereabouts being exposed.

An unknown place.

Lin Chao opened his eyes.

"Supreme Treasure?"

"The Building?"

"Lang Heng?"

Having received the news from Cheng Yang, Lin Chao's gaze was calm.

"Lang Heng, is it?" Lin Chao emphasized this name once more.

After all, he had heard of Lang Heng from Mo Jia.

This Lang Heng was hostile toward him.

He had even hired Mo Jia to Slay him.

Now, this Lang Heng had set his sights on him again.

"I didn't expect that after cultivating for so long this time, the world would have undergone such great changes."

Lin Chao sighed.

In just a short while of cultivation, many cultivators from the Tianfang Alliance and even Evil Gods had descended upon this world.

Lin Chao fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

When he first arrived in this world, it was desolate and barren, without a single living soul.

Upon waking again, it was a chaotic world of war, where martial artists broke the law and the lives of mortals were as cheap as grass.

Upon waking yet again, warlords stood side by side.

Later, the Zhonglian Country was established, Spiritual Qi recovered, and practitioners of Immortal Cultivation emerged.

And now, Outsiders are flooding in.

In just a short thousand years, this world has experienced countless massive changes.

Lin Chao lamented for a moment.

"Lang Heng... I shall just kill him."

His enemy deserved to be killed.

After all, the Zhonglian Country was his home in this world.

Lin Chao would naturally not let the Evil Gods and the cultivators of the Tianfang Alliance get away with their evil deeds.

Lin Chao walked out of the mountains, dressed in a white robe, drifting like an immortal.

"Kyoto."

The place where Lang Heng was currently located was Kyoto.

He would go to Kyoto.

However, while on the road, Lin Chao stopped his steps.

Inside a temple in a large mountain, sounds of obscenity rose and fell continuously.

Lin Chao formed a sword finger with his hand, and instantly, those few evil monsters died.

He saw at a glance that those evil monsters were gathering in the temple to commit illicit acts.

Perhaps it was to cultivate some kind of technique.

But Lin Chao naturally could not stand by and watch them force mortals to cultivate techniques.

He was not a saint, but he did have a heart of compassion.

"Which bastard dares to ruin this grandpa's good time!" In the mountains, the figure of an Evil God appeared, radiating a terrifying aura, his face wearing an expression of fury.

Lin Chao looked at that Evil God, a cold look flashing in his eyes: "This world... does not welcome you."

Hearing Lin Chao's voice, the Evil God's smile grew even wider: "This world is yours?

Even the Tianfang Alliance doesn't dare to drive me away, so what do you count as?"

Lin Chao looked at this Evil God, his gaze without sorrow or joy: "Kill."

He did not waste any more words.

With a flick of his finger, that powerful Evil God instantly perished.

He looked at Lin Chao, his final gaze still carrying an expression of disbelief.

He had many words he wanted to say, and many things he wanted to ponder.

Unfortunately, there was no such opportunity.

Under Lin Chao's strike, that Evil God perished.

Lin Chao looked at the young men and women in the temple who were in a daze.

With another wave of his hand, the minds of those young men and women became clear.

Their complexions changed instantly, and some were wailing incessantly.

Lin Chao was very calm at this sight.

He also did not take it upon himself to wipe away this unpleasant memory of theirs.

They were neither relatives nor friends, and he would not make decisions for others.

Lin Chao rose into the air and disappeared once again.

The killing intent on his face grew even stronger: "From now on, the Ancient War World does not welcome outsiders."

Lin Chao thought to himself.

Even if they wanted to come, they would have to ask him first.

Lin Chao had no good feelings toward these Evil Gods or the people of the Tianfang Alliance.

Lin Chao's figure vanished from sight.

It should have only taken a dozen breaths for him to reach Kyoto.

However, he spent a full half-hour walking.

Along the way, he kept taking action, Slaying many powerful beings who were committing evil.

There were evil monsters and Evil Gods, as well as powerful beings from the Tianfang Alliance.

This world, briefly cleared.

The figure of Lin Chao finally appeared within Kyoto.

The entire Kyoto was still no different from how it used to be.

The slaughter outside had not yet affected Kyoto.

At this moment, in the courtyard, Lang Heng was in a red robe, looking imposing and extraordinary.

Below him, many people wore humble expressions on their faces.

"Huang Zhongqian, Lord Lang Heng is currently searching for a Supreme Treasure.

The Sky Eye you control should serve Lord Lang Heng." A pot-bellied middle-aged man looked at Huang Zhongqian, a kind smile appearing on his face.

Huang Zhongqian looked at the middle-aged man: "The Sky Eye is used for maintaining stability and apprehending criminals, not for treasure hunting."

The current Huang Zhongqian held a high position in Zhonglian Country, controlling this part of the Sky Eye force.

It could be said that the Sky Eye was the best-informed force in Zhonglian Country today.

The smile on the pot-bellied middle-aged man's face did not disappear: "Huang Zhongqian, you know the fate of Cheng Yang and Ji Wei; could it be that you also want to offend Lord Lang Heng?"

Cheng Yang and Ji Wei also held high positions in Zhonglian Country.

Especially Cheng Yang, who was the Dean of the First Immortal Academy.

Now, he had been directly seized by Lang Heng and imprisoned.

As a native, Huang Zhongqian was very disgusted by Lang Heng's actions, yet he was powerless to do anything.

Not to mention anything else, just that True Immortal under Lang Heng's command was someone they could not deal with, even if they gathered the strength of all the cultivators in the entire Zhonglian Country.

Huang Zhongqian did not answer; the only thing he could do now was wait for Fairy Yusu to return.

"Liu Can, Huang Zhongqian is Fairy Yusu's person, don't push too hard." At this time, that True Immortal in a long gown spoke up.

The pot-bellied Liu Can immediately revealed a fawning smile: "The Lord is right... I heard that Lord Lang Heng's master will arrive in Zhonglian Country in a few days."

Liu Can said this deliberately for Huang Zhongqian to hear.

Fairy Yusu was very strong and could stand on equal footing with Lang Heng.

However, now that Lang Heng's master was arriving, what did Fairy Yusu even amount to?

"When Lord Lang Heng's master arrives, I'm afraid that by then, the entire Zhonglian Country..." Liu Can glanced at Huang Zhongqian.

"As for the Sky Eye... it wouldn't be a big deal to change masters."

The threat in Liu Can's words was plain to see.

Huang Zhongqian felt angry in his heart, but he knew he could not retort; perhaps the other party was just waiting for him to make a mistake.
