“With us scattered remnants, what can we do by biding our time? Are we planning a comeback? In this situation, even if the Sect Leader were still here, it wouldn't make any difference.”

Yu Zhao shook his head and sneered.

“What, Yu Zhao, are you planning to betray us at this time?”

Yuan Zhongfei spoke coldly without politeness. He was naturally short-tempered, and hearing the implication in the other person's words, he couldn't hold back.

“Betray? Yuan Rong, do you think there will still be a place for the Seven Forms Sect in Linjiang Prefecture?”

Yu Zhao said in a deep voice, his tone unyielding.

“At worst, we'll live in anonymity. There will always be a chance to rise again in the future.”

“Yuanyang Beast Sect, Tianxiang Sword Sect, Situ Family, and the Imperial Court. Are you referring to the chance to rise again when these major forces are all destroyed?”

Yu Zhao's tone was full of mockery, as if he had heard a joke.

“If we can't stay in Linjiang Prefecture, we can go elsewhere. The world is vast, there will always be a place for us. Senior Brother Yu, I understand what you mean, but no matter what, I will not give up on the Seven Forms Sect.”

The speaker was Xie Qingyun. After three days of rest, her injuries were no longer serious.

Seeing the disagreement between the two at this moment, she naturally couldn't sit still.

“And with Sheng'er here, I have great confidence in the future of the Seven Forms Sect.”

Xie Qingyun's words made Yu Zhao somewhat silent. He glanced at Lin Sheng with a strange look in his eyes, especially lingering on the long sword in his hand. After a long while, he slowly spoke.

“Junior Nephew Lin is indeed exceptionally talented. As long as he is given some time, I believe his future achievements will be limitless. But Junior Sister Xie, the Tianxiang Sword Sect has suffered such a great loss today. Their Jianzi was severely injured, and the Lengshuang Sword was lost. What kind of situation do you think will welcome us next?”

This was what worried him the most. As a top force in Linjiang Prefecture, having suffered such a huge loss, it was obvious what the Tianxiang Sword Sect's reaction would be.

They were probably already on the Tianxiang Sword Sect's top wanted list.

“Yu Zhao, I think you've been scared witless. Do you think the Tianxiang Sword Sect would have spared us even if these things hadn't happened?”

Yuan Zhongfei's anger surged, and he smashed a large tree beside him with a palm. He spoke angrily, his Aura surging towards Yu Zhao.

Yu Zhao was also unyielding. There was a tension between the two, as if they would fight at the slightest disagreement.

“Enough!”

Just then, Lin Sheng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke slowly.

A ferocious and tyrannical terrifying Aura emanated from him, directly suppressing the Auras of the two.

He massaged his temples. In the past three days, he had already completely removed the Bone Strength from his body and recovered to his Peak state.

Now, seeing that infighting was about to occur among the few remaining members of the team, he felt quite annoyed.

Instantly, a slit opened between his eyebrows, and the golden vertical pupil emerged, adding a sense of brutality to his entire being.

His gaze swept over Yuan Zhongfei, Yu Zhao, and everyone in the team.

Including Yuan Zhongfei and Yu Zhao, almost everyone lowered their heads subconsciously after meeting his gaze, not daring to make eye contact.

“Now I give you two choices.”

“The first is to follow me. The Seven Forms Sect will not be annihilated. I will find a safe place to lie low and return again in the future.”

“The second choice, if you want to leave the Seven Forms Sect, I will allow you to leave.”

“Remember, you only have this one chance. Make your choice now.”

As Lin Sheng's words fell, some Disciples in the group exchanged glances, their gazes falling on Yu Zhao in front.

Yu Zhao looked up at Lin Sheng, then quickly lowered his head as if thinking about something. After a few breaths, he spoke.

“I'm leaving the Seven Forms Sect.”

“Alright.”

Lin Sheng's expression didn't change at all. He spoke indifferently, his gaze falling below. Seeing Yu Zhao make the first choice, nearly twenty Disciples below also raised their hands and stepped forward.

“We also choose to leave…”

Seeing this, Lin Sheng just nodded.

“No…”

However, seeing so many people choose to leave, Yuan Zhongfei immediately couldn't help but speak.

He raised his head and met Lin Sheng's gaze, but quickly stopped speaking. A dangerous Aura emanated from the golden vertical pupil, causing a strong sense of fear to rise in his heart. He subconsciously closed his mouth, and a layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his body.

At this moment, he finally realized that the Lin Sheng in front of him was no longer the small core Disciple in his memory.

But a fierce person who had almost killed the Tianxiang Sword Sect's Jianzi.

He couldn't help but think of the Fang Family members who had come to Da Cui Peak back then.

He immediately had a sudden realization. Perhaps the deaths of Fang Huasheng and others were the work of Lin Sheng in front of him.

“Copy down the Sect's true arts, and you can leave.”

Lin Sheng's gaze fell on Yu Zhao.

The latter had no objection and quickly copied down the Spiritual Snake Vein Transformation Hand and several other true arts he had cultivated.

After Xie Qingyun reviewed them and confirmed there were no issues, Lin Sheng straightforwardly let them leave.

With the departure of Yu Zhao and others, the total number of people in the team was now less than forty.

However, Lin Sheng didn't feel any regret.

The departure of a Bones Transformation expert was indeed a loss, but that was all.

He had never thought of relying on others. Instead of forcing those with other intentions to stay by his side, it was better to let them leave to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He was very clear that whether it was the Tianxiang Sword Sect, the Prefecture Yamen, or the Yuanyang Beast Sect, they would definitely attract a lot of attention after he decided to expose himself.

Before the crisis arrived, what he needed to do was to maximize his strength.

Neither the departing Disciples nor Yu Zhao, the courtyard head, mattered much.

“Sheng'er, what are we going to do next?”

Xie Qingyun quite agreed with Lin Sheng's actions. In her opinion, Lin Sheng's assertiveness was undoubtedly the most suitable at this juncture.

Lin Sheng glanced at the remaining Disciples. All eyes were currently focused on him.

“Go to the Congyun Mountains.”

“Congyun Mountains!?”

Hearing this name, Xie Qingyun and Yuan Zhongfei were both stunned.

According to what they had in mind, the best option was undoubtedly to leave Linjiang Prefecture and lie low in another prefecture.

They had never considered the Congyun Mountains as an option. After all, the Congyun Mountains were full of fierce beasts and poisonous insects and could not be considered a suitable place to live.

“That's right, the Congyun Mountains are vast. Although there are many kinds of strange beasts, the resources within are abundant and extremely difficult to find.”

Lin Sheng said slowly.

Xie Qingyun and Yuan Zhongfei thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense.

The collapse of the Seven Forms Sect could not escape the Imperial Court's instigation. If they went to another prefecture, the Imperial Court would always be a problem.

Compared to that, the Congyun Mountains were indeed a good choice.

Although there were threats like strange beasts within, their group, although small in number, was not weak in strength.

As long as they didn't go deep into the mountains, there wasn't much danger.

Everyone had no objection and immediately headed towards the Congyun Mountains.

Time flew like a white colt passing a crack, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

Yunshui Mountain, Bo Peak.

Bo Peak at this time had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to a few days ago.

The originally huge mountain Peak had now been razed to the ground. More precisely, the original location was now a huge deep pit covering an extremely wide area.

Under the insane investment of large quantities of god seed bombs, as if they were free.

Many beast ores beneath Bo Peak had been blasted out.

Although the speed was more than a hundred times faster than conventional mining, under the brute force destruction of the god seed bombs, the energy contained in these beast ores was inevitably lost.

The price was reduced by more than 1/3 compared to the normal market price.

But Duan Heng couldn't care less about this, because Wan Jianghai had only given him 10 days initially.

Although half a month had passed now, fortunately, under his desperate and reckless bombardment, he finally found some clues about the god seed, which allowed him to gain some more time.

And from the unusual distribution of the ore veins, he had a bold guess in his heart.

“Is what you said true?”

Outside the huge deep pit, Wan Jianghai's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at Duan Heng beside him.

“Lord Wan, although this subordinate has not yet excavated the god seed, I can confirm that there is a second god seed in the beast ore below this percentage. Furthermore, based on this subordinate's experience and the relevant scrolls from the Divine Engineering Department, this beast ore deposit is very likely connected to the earth pulse .”

Duan Heng's face was full of joy as he spoke excitedly.

“And then?” Wan Jianghai said slowly.

“This beast ore deposit is ancient. If it is indeed connected to the earth veins, then the demon beast ore seeds within this deposit are likely to absorb the energy of the earth veins. After a long period of time, those demon beast ore seeds, which were already of good quality, are likely to become god seeds. Therefore, it will not be as simple as just one or two god seeds being conceived within.”

Duan Heng became more and more excited as he spoke. He looked at the deep pit in front of him.

“According to the ancient texts of the Divine Engineering Department, if my guess turns out to be true, there will be at least 5 god seeds within.”

“Five?”

Hearing this, a look of emotion also appeared on Wan Jianghai's face.

Excluding the god seed that Zhang Songbai took away, didn't this mean that there were at least four god seeds in this ore deposit?

Even he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the thought of four god seeds.

With four god seeds in hand, he would undoubtedly gain the attention of Prince Yan, which was what he had always wanted.

However, his face quickly returned to calmness, and his gaze fell on Duan Heng.

“Divine Engineer Duan, I want you to confirm this matter as soon as possible. No matter how many god seed bombs or how many people you need, I will give them to you. As long as this matter is successful, I can guarantee that your Duan Family's position in the Divine Engineering Department will rise to another level. I hope you won't disappoint me.”

“This subordinate will certainly not!”

Duan Heng immediately responded respectfully.

Not long after, a deafening roar sounded again from beneath Bo Peak.

Outside the Yunshui Mountains, Wan Jianghai's figure appeared.

“Lord Wan!”

The constables waiting outside the mountain range immediately knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.

“How is it? Have you found the little mice that escaped?”

Wan Jianghai glanced over the crowd and spoke indifferently.

“Reporting to Lord, we have caught some Disciples of the Seven Forms Sect, but the main personnel have not been found. This subordinate has already contacted Tainnan Prefecture, but there is no news yet. Also, the checkpoints along the way have not found any suspicious personnel. It seems those people did not choose to leave Linjiang Prefecture.”

The speaker was Liu Tianci.

Since learning about Ouyang Lengshui's encounter in the Seven Forms Sect, he, who had originally not paid much attention to this matter, had become very interested.

He was naturally very clear about the strength of Ouyang Lengshui, his old opponent. His Tianxiang Wu Xing Sword was mysterious and unpredictable, and he also possessed many secret techniques from the Sword Sect. He was a difficult opponent.

Although he believed that his current strength was definitely above his, he was still very interested in the person who could seriously injure Ouyang Lengshui.

As for the rumors circulating in the market that the person was only at the Blood Transportation stage, he did not quite believe it.

In his opinion, that person was more likely a hidden expert of the Seven Forms Sect.

“Still haven't found them? What about the Tianxiang Sword Sect?”

Wan Jianghai nodded, not paying much attention. Let alone some fleeing remnants, he didn't even care about the Seven Forms Sect or even Wanhua City.

The only thing truly worth his attention was the god seed.

He was also not very interested in this suddenly appearing Genius.

Whether that Genius was real or fake, without resources, without powerful true arts and many secret techniques, his upper limit would always be there.

Of course, if the other party offered to surrender and wanted to join the Imperial Court, he would be very happy, but that was all.

He was more willing to see the Tianxiang Sword Sect suffer a setback. He had always disliked such Sect forces that were independent of the Imperial Court.

“The Tianxiang Sword Sect side is being handled by Wu Xing Sword Shi Hui, Ouyang Lengshui, and some Sword Sect Disciples. They also attach great importance to this matter.”

Liu Tianci replied respectfully.

“Hmph, what Sword Sect Jianzi? Just a bunch of trash. Sooner or later, they will also decline and be destroyed like the Seven Forms Sect.”

Wan Jianghai sneered and suddenly looked at Liu Tianci.

“I know you are also very interested in this matter. Since that's the case, you and Wei Bo can go and see what that kid named Lin Sheng is capable of. It's best to capture him or just kill him directly, so that the Tianxiang Sword Sect understands that their so-called Jianzi is nothing special.”

“This subordinate will certainly not disappoint Lord.”

Liu Tianci replied again, then bowed and left.

Even if Wan Jianghai hadn't said anything, he would have taken the initiative to propose it.

He was very curious about what kind of person Lin Sheng was.

“I hope he won't disappoint me.”

...

Yuanyang Beast Sect, back mountain.

Continuous roars of various beasts sounded from time to time.

As a top Sect that specialized in taming beasts, the number of strange beasts within the Sect was even greater than the number of Disciples.

In addition to the various strange beasts tamed by the Sect, there were also many powerful untamed strange beasts.

And the back mountain of the Beast Sect was where these powerful untamed strange beasts lived.

Roar——

Suddenly, with a wolf howl full of ferocious Aura, the entire back mountain instantly fell silent.

A large number of high-level ordinary beasts lay prostrate on the ground, trembling all over, not daring to move a single step.

Even the Elementary Level Spirit Beasts that were usually fierce all retreated into their lairs at this moment, as if they were extremely afraid of the owner of this sound.

“Chong'er has come out of the mountain.”

Hearing this beast roar, the high-level members of the Beast Sect in the main hall understood.

As expected, in less than a quarter of an hour, a seemingly thin young man appeared in the main hall.

The young man's face was pale as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, but his face carried a strong wildness.

Looking at the Elders in the main hall, a smile appeared on the young man's face.

“I heard about Ouyang Lengshui's matter. I didn't expect there to be such a person in Linjiang Prefecture. I've been holding back for so long, so let me see what he's capable of…”
