Chapter 102: Holy Spirit Cult's Trail, Coveting the Power of Destiny
The next morning, the morning glow was like blood, spilling over the steep stone steps of the Body Sect.
Sect Master Du Busi heard that Lin Sheng and the other two were heading to the Star Dou Great Forest, and his thick, dark green eyebrows almost knitted together.
He had wanted to escort them personally.
After all, whether it was Lin Sheng, who possessed the potential of twin spirits, or that little ancestor, the Auspicious Beast, whose identity was shocking...
Neither could afford the slightest mishap!
However, as his Soul Power fluctuated slightly, he looked toward the void on the outskirts of the Sect, and a flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes.
"That bunch of lingering scum from the Holy Spirit Cult has been probing around the outskirts of the Sect these past few days, and there are even auras of Titled Douluo level lurking."
"If this old man leaves now, the Holy Spirit Cult will likely take advantage of the void to turn this mountain of mine upside down."
He turned his head, patted Lin Sheng heavily on the shoulder, and instructed in a deep voice: "Be careful in everything."
But upon second thought, Sect Master Du Busi's expression softened a little.
After all...
With Qiu'er, this girl, around, that old black dragon Di Tian would never sit idly by.
If they really encountered trouble that couldn't be handled.
Just let this little girl let out a howl, and all the Vicious Beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest would act as bodyguards for Lin Sheng and the others.
"The Holy Spirit Cult has been restless lately, Teacher, you must be careful."
Lin Sheng bid farewell to Sect Master Du Busi.
The three turned into streams of light and headed straight south.
...
Along the way, in order to take care of Qiu'er, who had never truly set foot in the human world, the three did not travel at full speed.
Lin Sheng and Zhang Lexuan took her through the bustling market.
They watched the picturesque shadow puppetry and tasted the sweet, sticky candied hawthorns.
Qiu'er looked at those mundane trifles.
Her bright golden eyes were full of novelty and joy, and she even occasionally pulled on Zhang Lexuan's sleeve to ask questions, that innocent and naive appearance.
Made the defenses in Zhang Lexuan's heart melt quite a bit.
"Qiu'er... doesn't seem like a little green tea bitch either!"
When that ancient forest that blocked out the sky and sun appeared on the horizon, Qiu'er's expression became a bit complicated.
"I finally made up my mind to run out, but before I could enjoy it for two days, you brought me back again."
Qiu'er kicked the dead branches under her feet and glanced at Lin Sheng with some resentment.
Lin Sheng was dumbfounded and laughed.
Just as he was about to speak to soothe her, his brows suddenly lowered in that instant.
"Shh."
Lin Sheng reached out his hand, signaling the two women to be quiet.
His Sharingan had already been quietly activated, and his powerful spiritual detection instantly covered a vast range.
"There is evil energy, and... more than one strand."
Lin Sheng formed seals with his hands, and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye rotated with eerie patterns.
"Pupillary Technique, Domain."
An invisible fluctuation instantly wrapped around the three of them, and their figures became transparent and intangible where they stood, as if completely merged with this space.
Lin Sheng led them silently toward a clearing in the forest.
There, a team wearing pitch-black robes, surrounded by nauseating Death Qi, was stationed.
The leader had a sinister expression.
His Soul Power fluctuated steadily at just over level 60, clearly a Spirit Emperor-level captain of the Holy Spirit Cult.
"Captain, we've been squatting here for five days, and apart from a few thousand-year Soul Beasts that didn't know what was good for them, we haven't even seen a hair of the Auspicious Beast."
A Spirit King-level subordinate complained.
The Spirit Emperor captain snorted coldly, wiping the short blade made of white bone in his hand, his voice hoarse.
"What's the rush? The Elders have given a death order. Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stays in the core circle all year round, according to the intelligence mastered by the Cult, it slips out alone to hunt and play every few days."
"As long as we figure out its movement trajectory, the Cult Master has a way to use secret techniques to interfere with Di Tian's perception and forcibly seize its Power of Destiny."
"That is the Power of Destiny..."
Greed appeared in the subordinate's eyes.
"If the Cult Master can control this power, wouldn't our Holy Spirit Cult be able to completely rule the continent?"
In the Void Realm, Lin Sheng and Zhang Lexuan looked at each other, both seeing the chill in the other's eyes.
Qiu'er was so angry that her delicate body trembled slightly, and deep in her bright golden eyes, bloodshot traces vaguely appeared.
"Very well, this bunch of guys!"
Qiu'er was furious.
These scum were actually plotting against her!
"Since we ran into them, let's collect some information on the way, and then finish them off."
Lin Sheng said indifferently.
Immediately, the pupil of his right eye contracted sharply, and terrifying Pupillary Power descended on those Evil Soul Masters like an invisible heavy hammer.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Those Spirit Kings couldn't even scream, their heads exploding on the spot like crushed watermelons.
Black blood mist instantly stained the surrounding shrubs red.
Only that Spirit Emperor captain was still alive...
But his eyes had completely lost focus, and he slumped to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
"Swish—!"
Lin Sheng's Pupillary Power had already driven straight in, brutally tearing through his Divine Sense defenses.
Frenziedly plundering his memories.
A moment later, Lin Sheng withdrew his Pupillary Power, his face as gloomy as water.
"It's not just this one."
Lin Sheng looked at Qiu'er and Zhang Lexuan, his tone icy!
"The Holy Spirit Cult has sent out eight such teams, distributed in a fan shape at the junction of the Star Dou Great Forest's outer and inner circles, just to capture Qiu'er's trail."
"These damn guys."
Qiu'er finally erupted.
She let out a delicate shout, grasped into the void with her right hand, and a golden light soared into the sky.
"Boom—!"
A spear, about a zhang long, engraved with dragon patterns, and exuding endless majesty and sharpness, was instantly in her hand.
That was the golden dragon spear!
Her figure was like lightning, the golden spear tip bringing with it an arc of light that tore through the air, directly decapitating the demented Spirit Emperor captain.
On the tip of the spear, the dirty blood of the Evil Soul Master was instantly burned away.
"golden dragon spear..."
Lin Sheng stood to the side.
His gaze did not linger on the corpse, but stared fixedly at the golden dragon spear in Qiu'er's hand.
"I forgot, at this time, she should already be carrying half of Tang Wutong's Divine Sense, right?"
Lin Sheng was silent, calculating in his heart.
If that was the case...
Now that Qiu'er's fate trajectory had been changed, and he was carrying some kind of power in his body, perhaps it had obscured Tang San's perception.
Then Tang San's plan.
Would fall through!
"Want to catch me? Do you really think Di Tian is just sitting around?"
Qiu'er put away the spear, turned her head to look at Lin Sheng, and tilted her head in confusion when she saw him dazed.
"Lin Sheng, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Sheng put away his thoughts, took a step forward, and a smile hooked the corner of his mouth.
"I was thinking, since they want to find you so much, let's just wipe out all these teams."
Lin Sheng revealed a cold smile.
"Evil Soul Masters deserve to die; not one of them should leave this forest alive."
Qiu'er waved her little fist excitedly: "Good! Kill them all!"
Zhang Lexuan sighed helplessly, but also silently condensed her own Moon Martial Soul.
"Just Evil Soul Masters, they aren't worth pitying."
