Volume 1, Chapter 35: Saving Zhang Xianfeng

Hearing the elder beside him say this, Mo Tianxiong could not help snorting.

“It took him that long just to deal with a Golden Core cultivator. Once we return, that boy really ought to devote himself to cultivation.”

Meanwhile, surrounded by a sea of demonic beasts, Zhang Xianfeng was finding it increasingly difficult to hold on.

Watching the endless stream of demonic beasts charging toward him, Zhang Xianfeng gritted his teeth. The spiritual energy within his body was nearly exhausted.

If he could not find a way to break out soon, he would likely be worn down alive until his spiritual power ran dry.

It was not that he had never tried attacking the two men above, but the demonic beasts had kept him entangled, leaving him utterly unable to divide his attention.

As the spiritual power within him approached its limit and the wounds covering his body continued to multiply, Zhang Xianfeng suddenly felt a wave of despair.

Once he died, the Great Wilderness Immortal Sect would immediately come under attack. By then, everything would be over.

He tried to summon the last of his strength to resist the demonic beasts and fight his way out, but his body no longer possessed the power to do so.

Gradually, Zhang Xianfeng’s attacks slowed, and he had begun to give up his resistance.

Watching Zhang Xianfeng being surrounded by the demonic beasts, Mo Tianxiong let out a cold laugh.

“How laughable. The mighty Zhang Xianfeng, a powerhouse of the Eclosion Realm, is actually going to die at the hands of a pack of demonic beasts. What an utter disgrace.”

Just then, a gigantic fireball descended from the sky, instantly blasting apart all the demonic beasts surrounding Zhang Xianfeng.

“Boom!”

The demonic beasts were blown to pieces. Yet the chunks of flesh that fell to the ground slowly gathered together and reformed into new demonic beasts.

Lin Yang plummeted from the sky. Upon seeing this scene, he could not help frowning.

“What kind of bizarre demonic art is this?”

Mo Tianxiong and the elder beside him were frowning as well. Where had this red-robed man come from?

Lin Yang helped up the barely conscious Zhang Xianfeng. Seeing the old man in such a wretched state, Lin Yang felt a pang of discomfort.

“Old man, don’t die just yet. The Dao-Enlightenment Tea I planted is almost ready, and you haven’t even had a taste.”

Zhang Xianfeng forced a weak smile, then spoke in a trembling voice.

“Don’t worry. I’m not dying yet.”

“You little brat… What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to guard the sect?”

Faced with Zhang Xianfeng’s questioning, Lin Yang sighed helplessly.

“Don’t ask. If you die, the responsibility of protecting the sect will fall to me. I’m naturally lazy, and I prefer tending to flowers and plants. A responsibility this important should be left to you, old man.”

“You little brat… Cough, cough.”

Zhang Xianfeng coughed several times, and Lin Yang hurriedly said, “All right, you should stop talking. Sit on the ground and rest.”

With that, Lin Yang carefully lowered Zhang Xianfeng to the ground, afraid that one wrong move would send the old man straight to his grave.

Above them, Mo Tianxiong examined Lin Yang’s cultivation and was immediately stunned.

“The peak of the Eclosion Realm?! When did the Great Wilderness Immortal Sect produce another peak Eclosion Realm cultivator?”

Mo Tianxiong could hardly believe it. How could anyone who had broken through to the Eclosion Realm possibly remain an unknown nobody?

Yet he studied the red-robed man before him for quite some time and still could not identify him.

Seeing Mo Tianxiong constantly sizing him up, Lin Yang curled his lips and said helplessly, “You can stop looking. I’m just an unknown nobody.”

The elder beside Mo Tianxiong let out a disdainful snort.

“I don’t care what realm you’re in. Die beneath my Demon-Summoning Art!”

With that, he swung his wooden staff. The demonic beasts that had just reassembled immediately charged toward Lin Yang and Zhang Xianfeng in a frenzy.

Seeing this, Zhang Xianfeng forced himself to speak to Lin Yang.

“Lin Yang, those demonic beasts can’t be killed!”

Lin Yang merely shook his head, completely unconcerned. The corners of his mouth lifted.

“If they can’t be killed, then why not burn them to death?”

With that, Lin Yang snapped his fingers. In an instant, waves of scorching white immortal flames spread outward with him at their center.

“Boom!”

The white immortal flames surged forth like immense waves, devouring the demonic beasts that charged toward the two of them.

The moment even the smallest spark of white immortal fire touched a demonic beast, the flames spread across its entire body. In the blink of an eye, it was burned alive until nothing remained but a skeleton.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Sect elder, clutching his wooden staff, cried out in shock when he saw this.

“Immortal fire?! How could this man possibly control immortal fire?!”

Mo Tianxiong frowned. The immortal flames Lin Yang wielded reminded him of an old enemy.

“Why are their immortal flames so similar…? But that person is already dead, isn’t he?”

Lin Yang naturally had no idea what Mo Tianxiong was thinking. Looking at the immortal flames spreading in every direction, he nodded in satisfaction.

Zhang Xianfeng, however, stared blankly at the vast sea of white fire before him.

From the aura Lin Yang had revealed moments ago, he could sense that Lin Yang was also a late-stage Eclosion Realm cultivator.

But that was not what concerned him. What he cared about was why his own Eclosion Realm cultivation seemed like heaven and earth apart from Lin Yang’s.

“The power of these flames… Is this the Great Dao of Fire? No, it should be something above the Great Dao of Fire. Could it be the Great Dao of Immortal Flames?”

Zhang Xianfeng was even more astonished. Lin Yang was so young, yet reaching the peak of the Eclosion Realm would have been remarkable enough. How had he even comprehended a Great Dao?

That Lin Yang had mastered a Great Dao was still understandable. After all, heavenly prodigies were always different from ordinary people.

But to directly master the Great Dao of Immortal Flames—the most destructive force against demons and monsters among all the Great Daos—upon first emerging into the world… That was hardly normal.

Zhang Xianfeng was utterly dumbfounded. Lin Yang’s monstrous talent had completely overturned everything he had ever known.

A moment later, the immortal flames gradually died down. The countless demonic beasts that had surged forward like a beast tide had all been burned to white bones.

Lin Yang sniffed carefully and muttered, “Not bad. Smells like roasted meat.”

Mo Tianxiong instinctively swallowed. The strength Lin Yang had displayed was already almost equal to his own.

But how old did Lin Yang look? At most, he seemed to belong to the same generation as Mo Tianxiong’s son. To possess such strength at that age was simply terrifying.

The first thought that arose in Mo Tianxiong’s mind was to kill Lin Yang and eliminate this peerless genius of the Great Wilderness Immortal Sect.

Yet after thinking it over, Mo Tianxiong dismissed the idea.

If he attacked Lin Yang, he might be able to kill him, but he would undoubtedly suffer severe injuries himself.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Sect still needed his leadership. Once he died, the sect would certainly fall into a disadvantageous position.

Besides… even if he truly attacked Lin Yang, he might not necessarily be able to defeat him.

At that thought, Mo Tianxiong made up his mind. He absolutely could not attack Lin Yang.

After analyzing Lin Yang’s strength and determining that they were evenly matched, Lin Yang likewise abandoned the idea of attacking.

However, he did not refrain from attacking out of any sense of sectarian righteousness.

Quite simply, he was afraid of dying.
