356: Control the Anti-Heaven Alliance

Walking and stopping along the way, Lin Ang took four months to complete a journey that should have taken seven days.

There was nothing he could do; there were too many injustices on the road.

He was a man who couldn't tolerate injustice, and it was common for him to draw his blade and help those in need.

There were also those persistent Jiantian Division agents; he killed several who claimed to be 'Seventh Revolution' practitioners.

Facing the breakthrough Lin Ang, Seventh Revolution cultivators were no different from incompetent fools.

The Jiantian Division even gathered once for an ambush; the leader's strength was considerably greater than those self-proclaimed Seventh Revolution practitioners, likely an Eighth Revolution.

But because there were many people, Lin Ang worried about a few escaping, so he immediately went all out.

The suspected Eighth Revolution practitioner was instantly pulverized into a bloody mess, dying even more swiftly and cleanly than the Seventh Revolution practitioners Lin Ang had killed before.

The remaining guys were all taken down with a single punch, most of them not even having time to retaliate before Lin Ang dispatched them.

The battle was so swift that Ye Hua even thought they were just a bunch of weaklings, even worse than the previous ones, just more numerous.

But in front of a true master, numbers meant nothing.

The subsequent experiences were tedious and flavorless, repetitive, over and over again.

Ye Hua personally witnessed how Lin Ang massacred cities one by one and eradicated roots.

He used every means at his disposal.

Gradually, he went from initial panic to calmness, and then from calmness to numbness.

Sometimes, watching lives vanish before his eyes, Ye Hua even wondered if his pursuit of living truly had meaning.

What was the difference between his life and the lives of those who died in droves under Lin Ang's hands?

Their so-called 'defying heaven' seemed like nothing but a joke in the face of true power.

Thus, Ye Hua became completely numb; having witnessed so much death, his heart was like a stagnant pool.

He had no extra thoughts; whatever Lin Ang said, he did.

Finally, Ye Hua led Lin Ang to a stone tablet and pressed a hidden spot.

Rumble!

At this moment, a downward stone staircase suddenly appeared behind the tablet.

The depths of the staircase were shrouded in darkness, so much so that even the current Lin Ang couldn't see what was inside.

So he stood still, signaling Ye Hua to go first.

Having arrived at his own doorstep, Ye Hua had nothing more to say and walked straight in.

After going down, there would inevitably be a great battle.

But in the end, whether the Defying Heaven Alliance won or Lin Ang won, he no longer cared.

He only felt that his life had become meaningless.

Seeing that nothing happened inside, Lin Ang confidently followed him down.

His current strength, according to the previous comparison standards, could be considered peak Ninth Revolution, but he still needed to be careful not to stumble in an unexpected place.

After all, he had never seen a true Ninth Revolution, what if a Ninth Revolution could truly become a god?

This world was very dangerous; don't forget that even the incredibly powerful Holy Mother died here, so what right did he, a Great Spirit Master, have to be arrogant?

If he wasn't careful, he might end up dead in the street tomorrow.

Following Ye Hua inside, the two maintained a distance of about ten meters between them.

This ensured that Ye Hua couldn't escape, but also that Lin Ang could take him down if he tried anything.

The two walked down this descending staircase for a full kilometer.

The staircase was not steep, relatively gentle, so walking a kilometer would only lead to a depth of at most three or four hundred meters underground.

After continuing for about another two kilometers, a glimmer of light appeared before their eyes.

Lin Ang knew that this was the end of the stone staircase, but the closer they got to the end, the more he couldn't be arrogant.

He told Ye Hua to stop, and the two quickly closed the distance, standing side by side as they continued forward.

Finally, at the end, Lin Ang saw… an underground city.

The entire city was brightly lit, and from the outside, it looked very lively.

Based on its size, this should be a city capable of accommodating seven or eight hundred thousand people.

On the plaque directly above the city gate, the three large characters 'Defying Heaven City' were written.

The calligrapher's skill was not particularly good, but even from a great distance, Lin Ang could feel the unyielding spirit within it and was influenced by it.

This was a state of mind, unrelated to cultivation.

Even if the writer's strength might not be as good as Lin Ang's, he was still affected.

Even the already numb Ye Hua beside him felt a ripple in his heart.

Lin Ang nodded and said, "Very good, let's go."

Ye Hua still led the way, with Lin Ang walking behind him.

Upon reaching the city gate, the gate was tightly shut. Ye Hua called out, "Ye Hua, who went out to receive new members into the alliance, has returned!"

As soon as his voice fell, the city gate slowly opened to both sides automatically.

Ye Hua and Lin Ang stepped inside.

Someone came to greet them, looking at Lin Ang, "Presumably, this is our new member this time, right?"

Lin Ang smiled, "Yes, hello."

"Hello, hello." The greeter was quite enthusiastic.

But seeing Ye Hua, who was a bit different from usual, and noticing that the other two who had gone with him were absent, he asked curiously, "By the way, didn't Lord Qiu and Bu Zhao go with you? Why aren't they here?"

Ye Hua looked up at him, "Because…"

Just then!

"Because they were all righteously punished by me!"

Lin Ang's voice and hand moved together, and a giant tiger claw emerged behind him.

It slammed heavily onto Ye Hua, instantly exploding him on the spot, his blood splattering onto the wall.

Some of it splashed onto the greeter's face, scaring him stiff.

Having worked at the city gate for so many years, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

This person had not attacked Lin Ang before, so after a moment's thought, Lin Ang spared him.

Because his purpose for coming here was not to destroy the Defying Heaven Alliance, but to incorporate them.

Almost all of the Defying Heaven Alliance members were cultivators, and bringing them under his command would be of great use to him.

To spread the righteous ideals of the Holy Mother Sect throughout the world, he alone was not enough.

Over this period, he had increasingly come to realize this.

Next, he would conquer the Great Zhou and thoroughly implement his ideals.

The great drought across the land and the disaster in Ming Prefecture were natural calamities, and naturally had nothing to do with the imperial court.

However, the imperial court's inaction caused so many families to be broken, people to be displaced, and even resorted to cannibalism.

As he traveled, even in the most severely affected areas, the officials and nobles remained well-fed and clothed, indulging in debauchery and excessive luxury.

Amidst this natural disaster, with officials at the forefront, they extensively seized land, amassed wealth, and cheaply acquired good women, forcing them into prostitution.

The dark deeds he heard and saw were countless and undisguised.

From the eyes of the common people, Lin Ang saw only numbness.

Such a court was better off gone.

With the Jiantian Division in place, rebellions and uprisings had occurred frequently in the Great Zhou for hundreds of years, but none had succeeded.

Lin Ang considered himself not a bad person, but a good person.

If others couldn't govern the Great Zhou, he could take their place.
