Chapter 148 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

"Crimson Flame Monster, I never imagined you would collude with Extreme Yin Island!"

From the small island below, a furious voice rang out. The person was clearly powerful, and the sound was like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the entire island.

"Hehe!" A loud voice also came from the dark clouds, "Sect Leader Sun, why resist so stubbornly? Just obediently go back with Fellow Daoist Wu Chou. After all, we are master and disciple. If you apologize properly, Ancestor Ji Yin will be magnanimous and forgive you."

"Bullshit! When did that guy Ji Yin become so magnanimous? He only took me as his disciple to turn me into a puppet. You don't know the reason, yet you still advise me to go back to Ji Yin Island. It's ridiculous!"

Old Monster Crimson Fire was clearly unaware of such a hidden story, and was momentarily speechless at Sect Master Sun's words.

"Uncle-Master Sun, you are already a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. How could our ancestor possibly turn you into a puppet? If you return to Extreme Yin Island, you will gain a supreme position second only to the emperor. Our ancestor will also use all his resources to help you reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"You still want to trick me into going back now? Ugly Crow, do you think Ji Yin would be heartbroken if you died here? After all, you're the only descendant left in Ji Yin."

"You're asking for it!"

Enraged by this, Wu Chou drew a small black sword, and the six Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses beside him also moved out.

On Sect Master Sun's side, there were three Core Formation stage cultivators, plus his four early Core Formation stage clones, and forty or fifty Foundation Establishment cultivators. The two sides quickly clashed.

Seeing this, the Crimson Fire Monster let out a cold snort, and several bolts of lightning and fire flew out from the dark clouds and smashed down on the group of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Just as they were about to annihilate them all, Sect Master Sun waved his hand, and a gray-white demonic energy more than ten feet long condensed into a giant ghost face, which swallowed all the bolts of lightning and fire. Then it opened its huge mouth and pounced on the Crimson Fire Monster.

A fierce battle raged on the small island below, with various spiritual energy fluctuations spreading out in all directions. Upon seeing this, Lin He snorted and said, "The person in that dark cloud just now was indeed the Crimson Fire Old Monster. He's in cahoots with the Extreme Yin Island. I guess I'll have to get involved in this matter too."

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan frowned. She originally didn't want to provoke the Extreme Yin Island, but seeing that Lin He was determined to get involved, she could only sigh and say, "Since Fellow Daoist Lin has made his decision, I will accompany you, even at the cost of my life."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you—" Lin He looked at her with some surprise, but the latter explained, "Before I came, my husband had already instructed me to follow Fellow Daoist Lin's orders. Although I can't be of much help, with this giant tortoise puppet and the Frost Dragon Token, I am fairly confident in protecting myself."

Lin He gave her a deep look, then nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go and meet the people from Jiyin Island."

As they spoke, Lin He and the others used their magical artifacts to quickly fly towards the small island below.

The two entered without concealing their presence, immediately attracting everyone's attention. The fighters on both sides paused their attacks and looked at Lin He and the others.

Upon seeing Lin He, Wu Chou shuddered, looking extremely uncomfortable. He clearly recalled the scene of being brutally beaten by Lin He earlier, but still forced a smile and said, "Kid, this is an internal matter of our Extreme Yin Island. Are you going to interfere?"

Everyone looked at him strangely when they heard him speak with a hint of weakness. According to the way things were done by the Extreme Yin Island, shouldn't they say some harsh words and then beat the other party seriously or even kill them?

The Crimson Flame Old Monster clearly sensed the subtlety of the situation and did not speak immediately.

Lin He's gaze lingered on the six Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses for a moment, then he looked at Wu Chou, his expression turning cold, and said, "You want me to stay out of your business? It's simple, just hand over these six Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses obediently."

"You're dreaming!" Wu Aoyan roared angrily. "Don't think you can spout nonsense just because you have some ability. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"Isn't that right?"

Lin He made no attempt to hide the sarcasm in his words, which infuriated Wu Chou, who jumped up and down, but for some reason did not immediately take action.

Sect Leader Sun was a middle-aged man with regular features. He quickly sensed the tension between Lin He and Ji Yin Island and hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoists, my surname is Sun, and I have an irreconcilable feud with Ji Yin Island. How about we join forces to deal with them?"

"Join forces? Very well, then we'll leave the Crimson Flame Old Monster to Fellow Daoist Sun."

Lin He glanced at him and then nodded. Upon hearing this, Sect Master Sun's spirits lifted, and the giant ghost face quickly headed towards the Crimson Fire Old Monster. The latter was furious, but had no choice but to defend himself.

Seeing that they had already started fighting, many cultivators from the Hidden Fiend Sect also took action to restrain the four Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses. Zhou Yuan quickly took out a blue flying knife to meet Wu Chou's black small sword.

Lin He then walked towards the remaining two Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses. These demon corpses were no weaker than mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, but Lin He was not afraid at all. He patted his storage bag, and four broadsword warrior puppets flew out, quickly entangling the two Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses in pairs.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed at one of the demon corpses in the air, and a golden handprint flew out. The demon corpse was busy dealing with the more than twenty thick sword energies unleashed by the two puppets and had no time to dodge. It was quickly hit by the handprint, and under the force of the impact, the powerful Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse was also knocked seven or eight meters away.

"It's really hard, but—"

The Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse was about to attack Lin He with its countless claws when a black rope suddenly appeared and wrapped around its entire body. The demon corpse struggled, but the more it struggled, the tighter the black rope became, and it was unable to break free for a time.

At this moment, dozens of thick sword energies attacked, leaving the Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse covered in sword marks.

At this moment, a giant golden handprint struck again, this time descending from the sky and pressing down hard on the ground!

With a deafening roar, the Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse struggled fiercely but was still crushed to the ground by the immense force. At this moment, a blue figure appeared in front of him and delivered a powerful punch without any fancy moves. The entire ground exploded, and the Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse, which was at the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm, finally stopped moving and was put into his storage bag.

Lin He then repeated the process, collecting another Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse.

Wu Chou had only been fighting Zhou Yuan for less than two minutes when Lin He took away both of the Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses. Wu Chou was shocked to see that Lin He's strength had increased so much in the short time they had been apart.

Lin He then looked at Wu Chou, which sent a chill down his spine. Just then, five figures suddenly flew over the island, clearly attracted by the intense fighting there.

The leader of the five was an old man in gray robes who was in the late stage of Core Formation, along with three cultivators in the middle stage of Core Formation and one cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation.

Strangely, the other four were led by this young man in the early stage of Core Formation, a man with a pale face...

The handsome young man with heavy dark circles under his eyes suddenly burst into wild laughter upon seeing Lin He, saying, "Your name is Lin He, right? I've finally run into you!"
