398: Subdue the Demon Temple

Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

After half a month of non-stop travel, Yang Lingchen finally arrived at the territory of Demon God Hall with the forces of Ling Tian Pavilion.

During this time, Yang Lingchen did not make any public appearances; he quietly hid among the assembled forces of Ling Tian Pavilion to prevent the enemy from preparing.

Just as the Ling Tian Pavilion forces entered the territory of Demon God Hall, they encountered the forces of Demon God Hall coming head-on.

Leading the Demon God Hall side were none other than Mao Lianlong and Mao Chengming.

"Nangong Canghai, what is the meaning of this? I don't believe Demon God Hall has any grudges against your Ling Tian Pavilion, right?" Mao Lianlong said coldly.

"There is no need for any grudges; I simply find you an eyesore," Nangong Canghai replied.

Nangong Canghai's tone was extremely arrogant, and cold killing intent welled up in his eyes.

"What big words. Just based on your Ling Tian Pavilion, you want to attack my Demon God Hall? Since you dared to come today, don't even think about leaving."

A cold glint flashed in Mao Lianlong's eyes as he shouted coldly, "Kill!"

As soon as Mao Lianlong's voice fell, all the high-level officials and Disciples of Demon God Hall swarmed toward the Ling Tian Pavilion forces like a plague of locusts.

"Kill!" Nangong Canghai did not show any weakness either. With a loud roar, he took the lead and charged toward Mao Lianlong.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen had also changed his appearance and, leading four servants, charged toward the high-level officials of Demon God Hall.

As the two sides collided, the sound of metal clashing rang out continuously. The two forces surged against each other like a flood.

For a time, spears and halberds crossed, metallic light flickered, and streaks of Sword Qi slashed across, bringing blinding and heart-stopping brilliance.

This war was incredibly shocking. Both sides were top-tier forces in the Divine Realm, and any elite Disciple brought out from either side could easily crush those in the Upper Realm.

Although Demon God Hall had the home-field advantage, Ling Tian Pavilion had the addition of Yang Lingchen and four servants at the eighth level of the Cosmic God Realm. Therefore, from the start of the battle, Ling Tian Pavilion held an absolute advantage on the field.

Under Yang Lingchen's continuous reaping, more than half of Demon God Hall's high-level officials were soon slaughtered by him.

At this time, Mao Lianlong and Mao Chengming realized something was wrong, because under normal circumstances, in Demon God Hall's home field, Ling Tian Pavilion could not possibly defeat Demon God Hall.

Just as Mao Lianlong and Mao Chengming wanted to flee, Yang Lingchen leaped and instantly blocked their path.

"Who are you?"

Mao Lianlong's eyes were extremely grave; intuition told him that the person in front of him was very dangerous.

Yang Lingchen did not speak; he simply swung his sword and charged toward Mao Lianlong. He had to take the opponent down before the bao yuan pill wore off.

At the same time, Nangong Canghai charged toward Mao Chengming.

Facing the charging Yang Lingchen, Mao Lianlong had no intention of lingering in the fight and turned to flee into the distance.

Seeing Mao Lianlong fleeing, Yang Lingchen pushed his Movement Technique to the limit, following closely behind Mao Lianlong like a shadow.

Just then, Yang Lingchen suddenly accelerated and threw a heavy punch. The fierce Fist Aura, carrying a sharp Aura, instantly slammed into Mao Lianlong's back.

"Pfft..."

"Bang..."

Mao Lianlong spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body like a kite with a broken string, smashing heavily onto the ground.

Just as Mao Lianlong wanted to run again, Yang Lingchen descended from the air and stomped heavily on his chest.

"Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

Yang Lingchen held his battle sword against Mao Lianlong's neck. His tone was cold and piercing, his voice like a reaper from Hell, making one shudder to hear it.

"Don't kill me, I want to live."

Mao Lianlong blurted out without hesitation; in the face of death, dignity had become meaningless.

"Eat this!" Yang Lingchen took out a soul devouring pill and handed it over.

Mao Lianlong did not hesitate, quickly taking the soul devouring pill and swallowing it in one gulp.

Although he knew it was not a good Medicinal Pill, he swallowed it without hesitation because he knew that if he didn't, the opponent would likely kill him on the spot.

Subsequently, Yang Lingchen planted a Soul Slave Seal deep within Mao Lianlong's Soul.

On the other side, Mao Chengming was also controlled by Nangong Canghai, and Yang Lingchen used the same method to control him as well.

With the two strongest individuals of Demon God Hall controlled, under Mao Lianlong's order, the high-level officials of Demon God Hall soon gave up resistance.

Yang Lingchen used the same method to control all the Cosmic God Realm Cultivators.

...

Holy Ruins Sect.

Luo Xuyang was in his Immortal Cave, in seclusion to heal his wounds, when Luo Zhiwei's voice came from outside the Immortal Cave.

"Old Ancestor, something big has happened."

"What happened?" Hearing Luo Zhiwei's voice, Luo Xuyang hurried out of the Immortal Cave.

"According to reports from our inside agent in Demon God Hall, Demon God Hall has been breached by Ling Tian Pavilion, and both Mao Lianlong and Mao Chengming have chosen to surrender," Luo Zhiwei said.

"Impossible. With Ling Tian Pavilion's strength, it is impossible for them to take down Demon God Hall," Luo Xuyang said in a deep voice.

"Old Ancestor, under normal circumstances, Ling Tian Pavilion certainly could not take down Demon God Hall."

Luo Zhiwei changed the subject and said, "But the situation is different this time, because a young man with super-strong strength appeared on Ling Tian Pavilion's side. Mao Lianlong was crippled by this person with a single punch."

"A young man? Could it be Yang Lingchen?" Luo Xuyang frowned and said.

"Old Ancestor, this person should be Yang Lingchen."

Luo Zhiwei paused and said, "Although he changed his appearance, I cannot think of anyone else in this world with the ability to defeat Mao Lianlong with the strength of the first level of the Cosmic God Realm, besides Yang Lingchen."

"Zhiwei." Luo Xuyang's expression sank.

"Old Ancestor." Luo Zhiwei responded.

"Assemble all the forces of the sect and be ready to fight at any time," Luo Xuyang said in a deep voice. "Also, send a Sound Transmission to Yin Sha Palace."

"Yes, Old Ancestor." Luo Zhiwei responded, then asked, "Does the Old Ancestor mean to join forces with Yin Sha Palace?"

"That's right. Now that Ling Tian Pavilion and Demon God Hall have been controlled by Yang Lingchen, if we don't join forces with Yin Sha Palace, it will be impossible to withstand their attack," Luo Xuyang said.

At the same time, Yin Sha Palace also received news about Ling Tian Pavilion and Demon God Hall. After some analysis, they also firmly believed that the young man was Yang Lingchen.

At this time, Yin Sha Palace and Holy Ruins Sect both sent Sound Transmissions to each other.

After some consultation, both sides successfully reached an agreement to join forces: to take the initiative to attack, rather than waiting for Yang Lingchen to bring people to their doorstep.

After all, there was a certain distance between Yin Sha Palace and Holy Ruins Sect. If Yang Lingchen brought people to attack, it would be difficult for them to support each other in the first instance.

Therefore, Yin Sha Palace and Holy Ruins Sect decided to take the initiative to attack and keep the initiative in their own hands.

...

Demon God Hall.

Yang Lingchen was sitting in the main seat.

"Master, should we attack Holy Ruins Sect next? Or attack Yin Sha Palace?" Nangong Canghai asked respectfully.

"Given the strategic landscape of these two major forces, they will surely join forces. We only need to wait patiently."

Yang Lingchen's eyes revealed a hint of an Aura that looked down upon the world.

In the following days, Yang Lingchen set up multiple Teleportation Arrays around Demon God Hall. Once any special situation occurred, he could evacuate at the first opportunity.

At the same time, Yang Lingchen also set up a Suppression Grand Array around Demon God Hall. Once both sides engaged in battle, he would immediately activate this Suppression Grand Array.
