Chapter 1090 The Beginning of Revenge
Black Soul Divine Sect.
Lei Kuangfeng took his disciple's body and ran all the way back to the sect, still in a state of shock. As the deputy head of the Soul Sect, he is also a well-known figure in the Black Ya world, but he has never experienced such a weird and terrifying thing.
Just as he was about to go straight to the main hall, he saw a person walking in front of him, and his pace suddenly quickened.
This man was short and fat, but his eyes were as sinister as a vulture. His face was expressionless, but he released a heart-stopping pressure. As he moved around, an almost terrifying sense of oppression followed him. It was a terrifying aura belonging to the realm of gods. Everywhere he went, the guarding disciples of the sect immediately knelt down and worshiped.
Lei Tiangang, the chief master of the Sixty-fourth Hall of the Black Soul Sect, and the cousin of the sect leader Lei Qianfeng, has the same status as the elders in the Soul Sect, and his profound strength is as high as the mid-level spirit realm. He is the most talked-about person in the Black Ya world. He is a top-notch person, no one dares to mess with him inside or outside the sect.
"General Hall Master!" Lei Kuangfeng quickly rushed to Lei Tiangang.
Seeing the corpse in Lei Kuangfeng's hands, Lei Tiangang frowned: "What happened?"
"General Hall Master, my subordinates were originally in Black Soul Mountain to supervise the assessment of selecting disciples on behalf of the Hall Master today, but... hundreds of disciples were all buried in Black Soul Mountain." Lei Kuangfeng continued to reach out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead as he spoke. .
"What!?" Lei Tiangang was furious: "How dare someone plot against my Soul Sect disciple? Who did it?"
"I don't know," Lei Kuangfeng said, "When my subordinates found out, they were all dead. There was only an hour in between. I was not far away, but I didn't notice them at all."
"What did you say?" Lei Tiangang frowned, but he obviously didn't believe Lei Kuangfeng's words.
Lei Kuangfeng put down the corpse in his hand: "Not only that, the death conditions of these disciples are extremely strange. Some of their heads are in different places, with no sign of struggle. And many more disciples... turned into such living dead."
Lei Tiangang squatted down, put his hand on the heart of the "corpse", then frowned, and then reached out to grab his Tianling. After a long time, he slowly stood up, his face dark and uncertain.
"Chief Hall Master, why did he die?" Lei Kuangfeng asked.
Lei Tiangang's eyes were cloudy and he said in a deep voice: "How far are the corpses of these disciples from you?"
"The furthest distance is less than fifty miles." Lei Kuangfeng said. The fact that those disciples were so far away meant that they were all dead within a quarter of an hour of the start of the assessment.
"Hmph, if what you said is true, in such a short distance, a hundred disciples died without any movement, and you were not aware of it... I'm afraid even I can't do it!"
Lei Kuangfeng was shocked: "Subordinates will never dare to deceive the chief hall master!"
"I'm sorry you don't dare!" Lei Tiangang's face was still gloomy: "This way of death is even more strange. There are no internal or external injuries on the body, and he is even still alive, as if he died of someone searching for his soul... And this The disciple is already in the divine soul realm, and his soul source is impregnable. Unless he doesn’t resist, even if the sect master wants to search for his soul, it will be impossible!”
Lei Kuangfeng's scalp was numb: "Is it really a ghost?"
"What ghost!" Lei Tiangang scolded angrily, and suddenly asked: "The other party really didn't leave any traces?"
Lei Kuangfeng quickly took out the Xuanying Tongue and released the previously printed image: "This sentence should be left by him."
One hundred thousand black soul lives, blood sacrifice to the wood soul.
"Ling Yun!?" Lei Tiangang's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Inform all the halls immediately. Each hall will take at least five thousand disciples and set out to search the mountain immediately! If you encounter a living person, take it down immediately! Seriously injured and disabled, you can. But you must live!”
Lei Kuangfeng was shocked. Although he had assassinated so many disciples of the Soul Sect, the scale of the search was too exaggerated: "General Hall Master, who is this Ling Yun..."
"No need to ask more!" Lei Tiangang said in a deep voice: "Do you know why the sect master suddenly left overnight to go to Black Ya City in person? I didn't expect that he actually came to the door himself... One hundred thousand black soul lives? Ha, it's really scary. Such a tone - why are you still standing there? Go quickly! Remember, you must live!"
"Yes!" Lei Kuangfeng took the order and left.
Lei Tiangang picked up the sound transmission jade and said through the sound transmission: "Sect Master, there is no need to go to Black Ya City. Ling Yun sent it to the door himself!"
————————
The Black Soul Divine Sect suddenly made a roar, and hundreds of thousands of Soul Sect disciples filed out and headed straight for the Black Soul Mountain Range. It was definitely the first time in history that nearly 10% of the disciples of the main sect were dispatched to search the mountain at once, and there was no warning.
There are already many dangerous mysterious beasts scattered in the Black Soul Mountain Range, and very few mystical practitioners can even enter, let alone go deep into it. The eastern region of the mountain range belongs to the Soul Sect. Unless they are impatient, the Black Ya Realm mystics will never dare to approach even if they have ten more courages.
Therefore, this large-scale search of the mountain continued until the sky became dark. Apart from disturbing countless mysterious beasts, not a single person was found at all.
As night fell, a thick layer of gray fog gradually enveloped the entire Black Soul Mountain Range.
After finding nothing, the search team returned to the sect one after another and reported the results to Lei Tiangang.
"Chief Hall Master, we have been searching all day, and we haven't found any traces of outsiders, let alone human figures." The speaker glanced sideways at Lei Kuangfeng: "Lei Kuangfeng, is everything you said true?"
"How dare I make a joke about this kind of thing!" Lei Kuangfeng said angrily: "The chief hall master should have fled immediately after he plotted against him. However, as long as he does not leave the Black Ya Realm, he will never escape from our hands. ”
"It seems that he has escaped. I thought he really wanted to kill 100,000 people in my Soul Sect. The Sect Master should be back soon. Let's discuss this matter after he comes back." Lei Tiangang glanced at the hall masters and suddenly said, "Why is there one person missing? Where is the Eleventh Hall?"
"Head Master!" As soon as Lei Tiangang finished speaking, a hurried voice came from outside, and then a middle-aged man rushed in quickly. It was Lei Chu, one of the deputy hall masters of the eleventh hall.
His appearance made everyone frown. Lei Tiangang said in a deep voice, "What happened?"
"Head Master, I led the disciples back to the sect. When counting the number of people, I found that there were 160 people missing. I immediately ordered people to return to Black Soul Mountain... I just received news that more than 70 bodies have been found, and their deaths are exactly the same as what Lei Kuangfeng said before! The other disciples who have not been found should have been killed."
"What...what!?" The atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed, and all the hall masters were shocked... and a little terrified.
Hundreds of thousands of disciples, and nearly two hundred vice-chair masters and even hall masters leading them, did not find any traces... but more than a hundred disciples died silently. And judging from Lei Chu's reaction, he clearly did not notice anything before.
A chill ran through everyone's body.
"What happened!"
Before anyone arrived, the majestic voice with thunder-like pressure had already pressed on everyone's heart and soul.
At the entrance of the hall, a middle-aged man in black was walking slowly, with a black snake wrapped in lightning and opening its ferocious mouth on his chest, followed by four people in black.
His arrival made the airflow of the entire hall condense, and it was as gloomy as a dark cloud covering the sky.
The chief patriarch of the Black Soul Divine Sect, the Great Realm King of the Black Ya Realm, was also the only terrifying figure in the Divine King Realm standing at the top of the Black Ya Realm's Xuan Dao.
Lei Qianfeng!
"Patriarch!" His arrival made everyone bow down in a hurry, bowing their heads deeply, and no one dared to raise them without permission.
"Get up... Tiangang, what happened?" Lei Qianfeng glanced at everyone and asked calmly.
Lei Tiangang stood up and quickly recounted what happened today.
"Ling... Yun." Lei Qianfeng narrowed his eyes and raised his head slightly: "It's really strange. My Soul Sect hasn't settled accounts with him yet, but he actually took the initiative to find us and even claimed that he wanted to take 100,000 lives from my Soul Sect... The reason is because of the wood spirit? Haha, it seems that this kid is probably a lunatic."
"Sect Master, this Ling Yun seems to be far from as simple as we thought. The death of these disciples reminds me of the "demons" in the records of [Northern God Territory]. It is rumored that those demons will hide in the dark and steal people's souls silently. Of course, the people there will never leave the Northern God Territory, and Ling Yun will definitely not be there, but... quite similar." Lei Tiangang said.
"Once we catch him, we will know what he did." Lei Qianfeng said sternly: "Ling Yun is obviously hiding in the Black Soul Mountain. Tomorrow, all sixty-four halls will go out and search the Black Soul Mountain. We must find him out even if we have to dig deep!"
"Master, who is Ling Yun?" A hall master finally couldn't help asking.
"You don't need to know too much about this matter. Just know that he has something that the Divine Martial Realm wants!" Lei Qianfeng said in a sinister voice.
The three words "Divine Martial Realm" made the hall masters' faces change.
"And this thing was snatched from us by him." Lei Qianfeng took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with anger: "The Divine Martial Realm only gave us one month! If we can't find 'that thing' within one month, I'm afraid we will all be in trouble!"
"Remember... catch him alive!"
Overnight, the name Ling Yun was known to the whole sect.
After the first large-scale search of the mountain, the next day was a much larger search than the first day. All the people who went out were from the Sixty-Fourth Hall... In the Black Soul Sect, the Sixty-Fourth Hall is the top class.
And such a large number of people were mobilized just to find one person. Everyone thought that this would only be an exaggerated cat-and-mouse game, but they never expected that this would be the beginning of a terrible nightmare.
Just like the first day, they searched for a whole day, but did not even touch a single person. But, gradually, as the search went deeper, they found one body after another... All of them were the bodies of Soul Sect disciples. No one saw or knew how they died. Before they were found, there was no abnormal breath or sound... It was as if their souls suddenly flew away.
At the end of the day, they found nothing, and only brought back two hundred living dead without souls.
The third day was the same.
On the fourth day, Lei Tiangang led the various hall masters to the Black Soul Mountain. They were high in the sky, and their spiritual perception was released to the extreme under the impetus of the mysterious power. After several hours, he received a voice transmission that almost made him vomit blood:
"Headmaster! All the disciples who stayed in the secret realm of the back mountain are dead, and the death is exactly the same as the disciples who died in the Black Soul Mountain... It is very likely Ling Yun!"
"What? The secret realm of the back mountain!!" Lei Tiangang roared: "Let's go! Ling Yun is not here!"
After searching in vain in the Black Soul Mountain, they searched the back mountain area upside down, but still found nothing, but the news that made people's scalps numb came again and again.
"Headmaster, the two hundred disciples who returned from the Zizhu Territory on a mission were intercepted and killed on the way, and no one survived!"
"Sect Master! The group of people who followed your secret order to go to Hei Ya City half an hour ago are already... all dead, and the bodies are less than 300 miles away from the sect."
"The headmaster, the second and seventh sons of the headmaster of the Seventeenth Hall, and their guard disciples died in the Black Soul River... It should have been half an hour ago."
"The disciples sent to transport the purple thunder stone three hours ago have not returned yet, and there is no news. I am afraid they have..."
…………
…………
The chilling news came one after another. Every day, there would be news of the death or even disappearance of Soul Sect disciples. It happened at different times and in different areas, but they were all near the Soul Sect. The dead and disappeared were all Soul Sect disciples.
From a few people to hundreds of people!
In just half a month, thousands of Soul Sect disciples have died.
If it was just a simple death, the Soul Sect would never panic. However, in the past half month, while the death toll increased day by day, the Soul Sect has been searching for Ling Yun's traces at all costs, and it can be said that they are frantically searching for Ling Yun, wishing that all eight million disciples of the head sect would come out in full force.
The news of the death of Soul Sect disciples never stopped, which meant that "Ling Yun" had never left the Soul Sect. However, the Soul Sect, which was extremely powerful in the Black Ya Realm, had never found the shadow of "Ling Yun" in its own territory despite its crazy search.
Even from the Sect Master and the Chief Hall Master to the lowest-level disciples, no one knew what he looked like.
The only thing they knew was the name "Ling Yun".
And this invisible fear was more terrifying than any daunting demon god. As the days passed, this fear accumulated day by day. Later, almost no disciples dared to step out of the sect casually, and those disciples who were ordered to leave the sect were trembling with fear every step... His whole back was cold, as if a pair of eyes of death were silently staring at him.
Half a month later, the Soul Sect finally issued the most humiliating ban in history: all Soul Sect members whose cultivation level was below the Divine Tribulation Realm were not allowed to leave the sect without permission!
