Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 188 Divine Sect [4,000 words]

"Who is it?" Lin Langtian glanced at the little mink, who looked like a demon had descended, but felt much more at ease.

He squinted slightly and asked the little sable in a low voice.

"I don't know, but it's very strong. Be careful. My physical body has just been condensed and my strength has not yet fully recovered." Little Mink shook his head and said in a low voice.

Lin Langtian frowned slightly, truly unable to understand how another mysterious powerhouse could appear deep within the Azure Dragon Palace...

In the original story, there was also someone who spied on Lin Dong here, and thus formed a bond with him and made a deal.

However, Lin Langtian was not so arrogant as to think that he would have such good luck.

Both the man and the mink were staring intently at the distorted space, ready to face the challenge.

Under their watchful eyes, the distortion of that space grew increasingly severe. Finally, a slightly gaunt figure slowly appeared in their sight.

He was an elderly man in a purple robe with white hair and a youthful face. His hair was as white as snow, and his eyes were closed, giving him an air of otherworldly grace.

The old man smiled as he looked at Lin Langtian and Xiao Diao, who were both on guard, but showed no sign of making a move. Instead, he slowly surveyed the space around him.

"So this is the depths of the Azure Dragon Palace. It seems the afterimage left by that person has dissipated, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get in..."

Hearing the old man's self-talking voice, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow. He figured the afterimage the old man was talking about must be Qingzhi. It seemed that because of the disappearance of Qingzhi's afterimage, this space lost its protection, which allowed this mysterious old man of unknown origin to break in.

"Senior," Lin Langtian said, bowing respectfully to the old man, his words quite polite.

Although I don't know the old man's background, I imagine he's not an ordinary person.

It would be best not to offend such a person.

Even though they had Little Mink on their side, he knew very well that Little Mink's identity should never be exposed unless absolutely necessary.

The Heavenly Demon Sable and the Yuan Sect are mortal enemies, and this is human territory. If things really escalate and attract the attention of the Yuan Sect, then we'll be in deep trouble.

He didn't want to experience Lin Dong's helplessness in the original work ahead of time.

We can only hope that this person isn't from the Yuan Sect...

Lin Langtian thought to himself.

"Don't worry, I'm just quite curious about this place. I've tried to enter here many times over the years, but I've always been stopped."

The old man seemed to know Lin Langtian's apprehension, and immediately smiled, appearing quite kind.

Lin Langtian's expression remained unchanged, but his mind was racing.

This ancient battlefield is generally only opened during the Great War of a Hundred Dynasties, but this old man said he could enter at will, which shows that this old man's identity is... not simple.

Of course, Lin Langtian already had a general idea in his mind.

After all, this area is the territory of a super sect.

If nothing unexpected happens, this person should be one of the super sects.

And given the terrifying nature of his spiritual power, he is most likely from either the Divine Sect or the Talisman Sect...

"Hey, you've probably been spying on us for a long time, haven't you?" Little Mink chuckled coldly.

"I'm just quite interested in this little guy."

The old man smiled and looked at Lin Langtian.

"A person who possesses the Devouring Ancestral Symbol will likely become a dazzling existence in this world if they grow stronger in the future, right?"

Lin Langtian's eyes darkened slightly.

As a transmigrator, he naturally knew the importance of devouring the Ancestral Symbol.

This thing is enough to attract the greed of many powerful people. If Lin Dong also has his eye on this mysterious old man, he might be in trouble today.

A purplish-black light gathered in the sable's eyes, and a fierce aura rose from them, clearly indicating that it was about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.

"I have no intention of fighting you. Although you are a Heavenly Demon Sable, your physical body has only just begun to take shape, and your strength is less than one-tenth of what it was at its peak. Therefore, you are no match for me."

The old man smiled faintly, completely unconcerned about the fierce pressure emanating from the little sable.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Xiao Diao's eyes turned cold, and he was about to make a move, but Lin Langtian waved his hand to stop him.

He knew the old man was right; even if he and Little Mink joined forces, they probably wouldn't be a match for him.

Moreover, the most important thing right now is that Xiao Diao's identity is too sensitive, and he cannot let this matter escalate!

"Since you have no intention of staying, it seems we were just being paranoid. Now that our seclusion is complete, we will not linger here any longer. Farewell."

Lin Langtian smiled slightly at the mysterious old man, then clasped his hands in a fist salute, intending to leave with Little Mink.

"I'm quite interested in you, little guy from Lin Langtian, so I'll kindly tell you something. If your Heavenly Demon Sable friend beside you is exposed, I think you'll be in big trouble."

The old man looked at Lin Langtian and suddenly said calmly.

Lin Langtian's figure suddenly froze as he turned around. He naturally understood all of this, but now he could only follow the old man's words and see what he meant.

Is she going to use this to threaten me, or...?

"What do you mean by that, senior?" Lin Langtian asked, trying to keep his voice calm.

"The Eastern Xuan Domain and the Demon Domain are not exactly at peace. They have clashed many times. In fact, many core members of some of the super sects in the Eastern Xuan Domain have been killed by powerful figures from the Demon Domain. Moreover, the one with the most blood on their hands is the most ferocious Heavenly Demon Sable Clan..."

"So if your identity as a friend of the Heavenly Demon Sable is exposed, not only will you not be favored by the super dynasty, but you may also bring about a great disaster."

Lin Langtian's expression remained unchanged; the old man's answer was clearly not what he wanted to know.

"Lord Mink didn't kill any of your people!" Little Mink said coldly.

"Hehe, you are a member of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan, that is enough," the old man said with a faint smile.

"You don't need to glare at me. I don't have any grudges against your Heavenly Demon Sable Clan, otherwise I wouldn't be speaking to you so calmly. I just don't want you to recklessly reveal your identity and bring huge trouble to the kid next to you."

The little sable's eyes flickered slightly, and finally it let out a cold snort, but it didn't say anything more.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's expression flickered. Judging from the old man's words, he seemed to have no intention of threatening him. However, nothing is absolute, so he decided to continue listening.

He then solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to the old man and said, "Thank you for the reminder, senior. I will tell my friend to try his best not to reveal his identity as a Heavenly Demon in the Eastern Xuan Region."

"It's fate that we met here. I was just offering a casual suggestion, but I think we'll have the chance to meet again in the future..."

The old man stared at Lin Langtian meaningfully, then smiled and said, "I'm quite curious to see how far you can go in this Hundred Dynasties War. This year's Hundred Dynasties War has an extremely troublesome and monstrous figure..."

"I'll do my best," Lin Langtian said softly. Although he had absolute confidence, there was no need to argue with the old man about this. Doing something is far more convincing than just talking about it.

The old man mentioned only one troublesome and monstrous figure.

Clearly, that was the true number one in the entire Hundred Dynasties War, a super monster who swept through all the great prodigies and earned a fearsome reputation.

The Qin Dynasty, Qin Shen!

"Alright, let me introduce myself. My name is Shenfa, and I am the elder leading the Shenzong delegation this time."

The old man in the purple robe smiled kindly.

"As expected." Lin Langtian thought to himself.

The elder leading the Shenzong sect.

Logically speaking, his strength should be at least at the Life Profound Realm, or even the Death Profound Realm.

"I wonder if you, young friend, would be interested in visiting the Divine Sect..."

The old man revealed his true intentions the next moment. Although he looked like an immortal with white hair, Lin Langtian could see a hint of ingratiating smile on his face.

"Well... I thank you for your kindness, Elder, but as for which super sect I should go to, I haven't decided yet..."

Lin Langtian replied with a smile.

The two of them now have something on the old man, and they are still unsure of the old man's character.

If you become angry and embarrassed because you refused, and end up exposing the ferret, then it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

"Haha, I was the one who was too impatient." The old man laughed nonchalantly, but there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

It was obvious that he, no, the entire Divine Sect, had feelings for Lin Langtian.

That's normal.

After all, with Lin Langtian's current strength, not counting his hidden trump cards, based on what he has revealed so far, he is already the second strongest person in the entire ancient battlefield.

In terms of mental strength alone, he is undoubtedly the number one!

Even Qin Shen would find it impossible to reach that level!

Moreover, this is the first of its kind in the current ancient battlefield.

Any super sect would definitely be tempted by it.

There are certainly many people who have noticed Lin Langtian, but only this old man knows Lin Langtian's trump card: the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

If we don't recruit them into our sect now, it will be much harder to snatch them from other sects later...

But as a shrewd person who had lived for countless years, he also knew very well that this could not be rushed. If he was too hasty, he might easily hand over this treasure to others or even offend them.

The old man smiled, and with a slight movement, he gradually became ethereal.

A moment later, it completely disappeared from this space.

Lin Langtian breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the old man disappear.

"This old guy must also be from a super sect..." Little Mink suddenly said, staring at the spot where the old man had disappeared.

Lin Langtian nodded slightly. Apart from the super sects that control this space, there are probably no other people who can freely enter and leave this ancient battlefield.

"Little Marten, change back into human form. Going out like this will probably cause a sensation," Lin Langtian said, turning his head to Little Marten.

The Heavenly Demon Sable's enemies are not limited to the Yuan Sect. On this human land, there are countless others with whom it has had grudges. If it recognizes them, it will always be troublesome.

"Well."

Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, Xiao Diao understood the reason, but strangely became a little hesitant.

Lin Langtian naturally understood the reason, but he still suppressed a laugh and urged him on from the side.

Urged on by Lin Langtian, the little sable had no choice. A dense purple-black light surged out of its body, and its huge body began to shrink rapidly.

A surge of light appeared, and the little sable finally grew to human size. Then the light dissipated, and a figure appeared in front of Lin Langtian, whose expression immediately stiffened slightly.

The person who appeared was a young man dressed in purple and black clothes.

The young man was extremely handsome, even strikingly so, and the smile on his face gave him a sinister yet captivating look. Some women who saw him would probably be tempted to swoon.

Lin Langtian wasn't a woman, so he wouldn't be infatuated, but he was still a little dumbfounded for a moment.

This little mink's appearance is a stark contrast to its previous cunning and treacherous nature.

Even knowing the original work, I couldn't help but feel a strange sensation.

"Lord Mink..."

Lin Langtian looked at the embarrassed young man in front of him with a wicked grin.

"Kid, what's with that expression? Although I'm only considered young among the Heavenly Demon Sables, I've lived a life that you can't compare to. You won't lose anything by calling me 'Master Sable'."

Upon seeing Lin Langtian's strange smile, Little Marten quickly spoke up.

Lin Langtian chuckled but ignored him.

Seeing this, Little Marten felt an urge to roll his eyes. He knew that once he revealed his human form, the cunning and calculating image he had painstakingly cultivated in front of Lin Langtian would be completely shattered...

Of course, what he didn't know was that Lin Langtian already knew all this...

"Now that you have regained your physical body, what are your plans for the future?" Lin Langtian suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"What else can we do? Let's walk around together for a while. Even though I've recovered my physical body, it will still take a long time to fully regain my peak strength."

Little Marten thought for a moment and glanced at Lin Langtian.

"Besides, you always cause trouble wherever you go. If Lord Mink leaves, he might have to come back to collect your corpse in a few days."

Lin Langtian didn't mind Xiao Diao's frequent washing. Looking at the face of the guy in front of him, which was even more handsome and devilish than Mo Ling, the prince of the Great Yan Dynasty, a warm feeling swept through his heart.

He knew that the reason Xiao Diao didn't plan to leave now was because he was still worried about letting him wander alone in the Eastern Xuan Region.

Lin Langtian smiled, then pondered for a moment.

"Once you leave here, as long as you remain in the Eastern Xuan Region, do not reveal your identity as the Heavenly Demon Sable until the very last moment. I think with your abilities, even if your current strength is less than one-tenth of what it was during your full power era, if you are determined to hide your identity, not many people should be able to recognize you."

"The Heavenly Demon Sable's strength largely depends on that body. If I don't use it, my strength will be significantly reduced."

Little Mink frowned.

"That's still better than attracting those super sects that have a grudge against the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan. Don't worry, we still have Jiuyou and me. It's not easy to force us to that point," Lin Langtian said.

Upon hearing this, Little Marten could only nod helplessly.

He also understood that even if he were to recover to his peak condition, he would not be able to act recklessly in the Eastern Xuan Region, let alone in his current state.

On this vast and boundless land, there are also many figures with terrifying strength.
