The atmosphere in the central army tent was tense, with two vast, ocean-like terrifying Auras clashing.

Huyan Ji's gaze was cold, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, as he stared coldly at the tent.

"Rashid, this is Jushi City, not your Tianluo Sect's Western Border..."

Rashid's strong figure, clad in a wide robe, billowed, and tendrils of black mist surged in his eyes, a hint of anger on his face, but soon, the surging Aura around him suddenly dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

The black mist in his eyes receded, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Supreme General Huyan, why be angry? This Sect is merely asking for some information. We won't do anything to this young friend. With the front line battles urgent, how could I actively disrupt this Alliance?"

As he spoke, he gently patted Lin Sheng's shoulder.

"This Sect merely saw that this young friend has extraordinary talent and an outstanding Heart-Nature, so I just tested him a bit."

Lin Sheng watched Rashid's hand, covered in strange black tattoos, land on his shoulder, his brows slightly furrowed, then he took a step back and respectfully said,

"Tianluo Sect Leader Rashid, I am also extremely pained by what happened to Saint Kamura. Rest assured, if you need Junior Li to cooperate with any investigation, Junior Lin will certainly not refuse!"

He spoke these words with genuine sincerity, his face full of earnestness.

"Good, good, good... What a good child..."

Hearing Lin Sheng's words, Rashid's smile stiffened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he narrowed his eyes, slowly nodding.

"Alright, Rashid, there's nothing for you here. Go back. But this General warns you, you'd better not affect the cooperation between our military and Dark Star, otherwise..."

At this, Huyan Ji's cold voice rang out, causing Rashid's smile to recede again, but he did not retort, only sneering,

"Supreme General Huyan is overthinking. Since there's nothing, then this Sect will take its leave first."

As he spoke, his gaze lingered on Lin Sheng for a moment, then he strode out of the tent.

However, just as he reached the entrance of the main tent, his steps halted.

A somewhat thin middle-aged man, appearing to be in his forties or fifties, stepped into the tent from outside.

The middle-aged man, dressed in a long robe with no armor, had gentle features, looking like a scholar, quiet and refined.

However, this conflicted with the atmosphere of the military camp.

Lin Sheng noticed the middle-aged man but did not sense any Aura fluctuations from him, as if he were an ordinary person without any Cultivation.

But Rashid, upon seeing the middle-aged man, his expression changed slightly, then he bowed slightly.

"Rashid greets Divine Lord of the Army, Your Excellency."

"Divine Lord of the Army!?"

Hearing Rashid's words, Lin Sheng's heart trembled, and his eyes showed a hint of surprise.

In Southern Qi, only one person could be called the Divine Lord of the Army: the Divine Lord Tang Zhong, a true Great Grandmaster Realm Martial Artist.

He was also the top Martial Artist in Southern Qi.

He had not expected the legendary Divine Lord Tang Zhong to look like this, and he had to admit that it was a huge contrast to his original imagination.

Tang Zhong paused his gaze on Rashid but did not speak, only nodding slightly.

"Brother, why have you come?"

Huyan Ji also walked down from the tent at this time, asking with some surprise.

"I just heard that war has broken out again, so I came to take a look."

Tang Zhong spoke softly, his voice full of magnetism.

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng immediately felt a faint, needle-like pain Attack from all over his body, a result of his avoidance talent frantically warning him.

Clearly, the seemingly uncultivated figure before him possessed unimaginable terrifying strength.

"Brother, this is the envoy from Dark Star, and also Divine Lord Li's Disciple."

Huyan Ji immediately introduced him.

Hearing this, Tang Zhong's calm face showed a hint of surprise.

"Oh!? Green Robe has taken a Disciple? Interesting..."

He stepped closer to Lin Sheng, and as the other party approached, the stinging sensation from Lin Sheng's body grew stronger.

Of course, this feeling did not last too long. When the other party came close, the feeling instantly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

"Junior Lin Sheng, greets Divine Lord of the Army!"

Seeing the other party approach, Lin Sheng immediately bowed respectfully.

"Upper-grade Physique, upper-grade Heart-Nature. No wonder that fellow Green Robe took a Disciple. Not bad."

Tang Zhong looked at Lin Sheng and slowly spoke.

"That fellow Green Robe still has such sharp eyes. How is your Master doing now?"

"Reporting to Divine Lord of the Army, Master is still the same as before, with occasional memory loss." Lin Sheng immediately understood that the Divine Lord of the Army before him also knew his nominal Master, and immediately spoke.

"Still like that? What a pity."

Hearing this, Tang Zhong shook his head slightly, as if thinking of something, a hint of regret on his face.

Then he extended his hand and gently patted Lin Sheng's shoulder.

Instantly, Lin Sheng felt an inexplicable gentle force flash across his shoulder, too quick to properly sense before the hand had already moved away.

Rashid, who witnessed this scene, his pupils constricted, and noticing Tang Zhong's gaze sweeping over, he immediately lowered his head.

"Since Divine Lord of the Army, Your Excellency, has important matters to discuss with Supreme General Huyan, then Rashid will take his leave first."

After speaking, he hurriedly left without any delay.

At this moment, Huyan Ji also seemed to understand something, and looking at Rashid's hurried retreating figure, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly.

"That old fellow, still so insidious and despicable."

After speaking, his gaze fell on Lin Sheng.

"You may also leave. Don't worry, I will find that old fellow later. You don't need to worry."

"Thank you, Supreme General Huyan."

Lin Sheng immediately bowed respectfully.

He had also reacted, and a cold sweat broke out on his body. Clearly, Rashid had just used some method on him, and he couldn't help but secretly curse him as insidious.

That old fellow Rashid spoke nicely, but he clearly had ill intentions.

Although he didn't know what method the other party had used on him, he knew without thinking that it definitely wasn't anything good.

With his perception and control over his body, he hadn't even noticed it. Not to mention him, even Huyan Ji, a Three Realms Grandmaster, hadn't discovered it. He had to admit that a Grandmaster's methods were indeed extraordinary.

It was not difficult to imagine that if this Divine Lord of the Army had not suddenly appeared, this mark would probably have remained with him.

Fortunately, it had now been erased by this Southern Qi Divine Lord of the Army, which also relieved him.

After bowing, he no longer lingered and turned to leave the main tent.

After this incident, he no longer had the intention of continuing to wander around the camp. He declined Weiya's invitation to dine in the army and left directly with Bai Can, Jin Yang, and others who were waiting outside the tent.

Upon returning to his residence in Jushi City, Lin Sheng instructed the others not to disturb him, then locked himself in his room, activating various sensory beasts to conduct a full body check on himself.

Although Tang Zhong had helped him erase that strange mark, he was still uneasy.

It wasn't until he had thoroughly checked his entire body and confirmed that he felt no problems that he finally completely relaxed.

"I didn't expect to encounter the Tianluo Sect Leader here..."

He muttered softly to himself, gently pinching his brows, a hint of helplessness on his face.

He had to admit that his luck didn't seem to be very good.

From today's events, it was clear that the Tianluo Sect Leader did not believe his explanation and still harbored considerable suspicion towards him.

He began to recall if he had made any mistakes, but after repeated recollection, he found no problems.

Especially since his apparent Cultivation was only a recent Breakthrough to Bones Transformation, any normal person would know that such a Cultivation would definitely not be a match for Kamura, let alone Tuo Mi Guardian, who was at the Peak of Divine Form.

Compared to suspecting him, it was more likely to suspect that it was done by other enemies.

But Lin Sheng could clearly sense a nearly tangible malice from Rashid towards him, as if he was certain that Lin Sheng was responsible.

He couldn't help but recall the first time he met Saint Kamura, when he asked if Lin Sheng had ever met Tianluo Sect members before.

At the time, he hadn't paid much attention, but now, thinking back, that sentence might have had another meaning.

He had not only met Tianluo Sect members, but the four black-clothed envoys of the Tianluo Sect in the Congyun Mountains at that time had died by his hand.

Thinking of this, he already had some conjectures in his heart.

He immediately ordered Bai Shu to collect information on the Tianluo Sect, especially regarding their Cultivation Technique and secret methods.

In addition, he did not plan to stay in Jushi City for long. His mission for this trip was basically complete, and he had already decided to leave Jushi City tomorrow.

Soon, the sun set in the west, and night fell.

A hundred miles outside Jushi City, another massive city, Wan Jun City, was also a front-line location.

A thousand years ago, Jushi City was divided into inner and outer cities.

Today's Wan Jun City was the former inner city of Boulder.

Inside Wan Jun City, in the Tianluo Sect's temporary stronghold.

Huyan Ji strode out with great swagger, and the Tianluo Sect members guarding the entrance lowered their heads, not daring to look up, seemingly extremely fearful of him.

Inside the main hall of the stronghold, six large tripods stood in the center of the hall.

Above the main hall, Rashid's face was gloomy, black mist surged in his eyes, and his hands clenched, producing crisp sounds of bones cracking, as if his rage was burning intensely.

"He actually came to find me just for that kid, hmph, Huyan Ji is going too far! This matter won't be settled like this!"

At this moment, in the main hall, four figures cloaked in black robes stood with bowed heads below the dais, their expressions varied, their thoughts unknown.

Finally, the scrawny old woman on the far left, speaking in a hoarse voice, hesitated and said,

"Sect Leader, I'm afraid Huyan Ji's visit this time is not just his intention, but possibly also that person's intention. If our Tianluo Sect does anything to that kid, it might bring a lot of trouble..."

The old woman's words seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and the other few also spoke up in agreement.

"That's right, that kid's information has been investigated countless times. He's clearly just a mere Blood Transportation Realm Cultivator. How could he possibly dare to have any ideas about Saint Kamura and Tuo Mi Guardian?"

"Exactly, in my opinion, it would be good if Saint Kamura didn't have any ideas about him..."

Looking at the few Protectors below the main hall, Rashid's eyes narrowed slightly, and the gloomy expression on his face not only did not dissipate but grew even denser.

Seeing their Sect Leader's demeanor, the few Protectors suddenly realized something and quickly stopped talking, and the main hall returned to quiet.

"You mean this Sect Leader was mistaken!?"

Seeing that the few people stopped speaking, Rashid snorted coldly and asked coldly.

"This..."

The few Protectors exchanged glances, unsure how to respond.

"Hmph, that kid has a strong blood resentment on him, and it's quite fresh. The time it's been tainted won't exceed a month."

Rashid's gaze swept over the few Protectors one by one, and he slowly spoke.

"Blood resentment!?"

Hearing this, the few Protectors all showed surprise. As high-ranking members of the Sect, they naturally knew what blood resentment referred to.

Because of the Tianluo Sect members' special Cultivation Technique and unique Blood Sacrifice Dao, everyone would carry a huge amount of resentment. This intangible and peculiar resentment was difficult for even Grandmaster experts to detect.

Even within their Tianluo Sect, only after cultivating the Sect's Mystic Skill to a profound Realm could one detect the existence of resentment.

Currently, the person most sensitive to blood resentment in the entire Tianluo Sect was naturally Sect Leader Rashid.

"Such strong blood resentment, and the timing is just right. Even if this kid isn't the culprit who killed Kamura and them, he definitely has a huge connection."

Rashid slowly said.

Upon seeing Lin Sheng, he knew at a glance that Lin Sheng was definitely related to Kamura's death.

Especially after sensing Lin Sheng's powerful Physique, he could even guess that Kamura must have also learned this point and wanted to use him as a sacrifice for the Shadow Dharma Body.

However, he still couldn't understand one thing: why Lin Sheng and the others were fine, but Kamura and Tuo Mi died tragically.

But no matter what, he had already set his sights on Lin Sheng, and no matter what, he would definitely not let the other party leave.

It wasn't just because of the deaths of Kamura and the others, but also because he already had other ideas.

Kamura was dead, so he naturally needed to cultivate another Shadow Dharma Body, and Lin Sheng's special Physique was undoubtedly the best nourishment for cultivating a Shadow Dharma Body. As long as he could devour him, it would greatly shorten the time for re-cultivation.

This was an irresistible temptation for him, whose lifespan was already not far off.

"But Sect Leader, Huyan Ji has already personally come to our door, he will definitely be watching us. How to make a move on him is also a big problem..."

At this moment, the old woman spoke with a hesitant expression.

Even knowing that Lin Sheng carried blood resentment, they were indeed inconvenient to do anything to him.

Hearing this, Rashid frowned, clearly understanding this point.

Regarding Huyan Ji, who was also a Three Realms Grandmaster, the difference in strength between the two was not significant. Even if the other party was slightly stronger, it wouldn't be by much. But what truly troubled him was that Supreme Great Grandmaster.

As Grandmasters, especially at the level of Three Realms Grandmaster, he understood even more clearly how strong a Supreme Great Grandmaster who had taken that step would be.

For a moment, his brows were tightly furrowed as he fell into deep thought.

And at this moment, the old woman seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke.

"Sect Leader, I heard that during this period, there are rumors in the Northern Yan army camp about searching for Dark Star members, especially the Dark Star teams that have recently come from Northern Yan. Why don't we..."
