The stolen magic is a bit magical

The terrifying destructive power of the Earth-Destroying Army terrified him.

If such a ferocious beast legion were to carry out targeted eliminations of all kinds of institutions and individuals of the Great Xia overseas, as planned by the Li Tian clan, then no one would be able to escape!
Including the heavily guarded embassy!

Lin Xiaosu couldn't kill all the Earth-Dwelling Beasts.

However, thanks to the Left Envoy's reminder, he found a shortcut: to kill Old Master Di.

With the removal of Di Laoyi, no one can currently control the Earth-Falling Beast.

No matter how terrifying the Earth-Falling Beast is, it's useless if no one can control it.

No matter how sharp a blade is, it's useless without a hand to wield it!
Lin Xiaosu reached out and pressed a button on the stone wall.

The door in front opened silently.

A dark, secret room was revealed inside.

Inside the sealed room, there was a pitch-black coffin.

Inside the coffin lay an old man.

It was Old Di.

Old Di's eyes snapped open.

As soon as those eyes opened, Lin Xiaosu, standing before the coffin, suddenly had a strange feeling. Before him was a bottomless abyss, and in the abyss, a coffin was floating.

The coffin suddenly opened, and an endless skeletal hand pointed a finger at his brow.

Lin Xiaosu raised her sword and brought it down!
This sword strike wasn't aimed at the deadly skeletal hand, but rather at the void.

This void appears to be empty.

However, pfft!
With a soft sound, the skeletal hand vanished into thin air.

The abyss vanished into thin air.

Inside the coffin, a head was separated from the body. Old Di's eyes were wide open, completely in disbelief.

His withered finger had already touched Lin Xiaosu's throat.

And so it slowly slid down.

Lin Xiaosu's back was also covered in a layer of sweat.

This old man followed the usual practice of the Utopia's higher-ups and was proficient in illusion.

Moreover, his expertise far surpasses that of Huikong, the leader of the Central Utopia Association.

Huikong needs to use the "lotus" on his chest to create illusions.

He does not need it.

All he needs is his own pair of eyes.

The moment you open your eyes, an illusion is created!
The illusion creates a bottomless abyss, a coffin, and a skeletal hand.

All of this is an illusion.

Then there are real attacks, which are as simple as a finger that strikes without a sound or any hint of killing intent!

This deadly scheme is a mix of deception and reality.

Such a deadly trap can easily mislead those with a strong fighting instinct.

In the whole world, Lin Xiaosu is probably the only exception.

Because of his divine insight, he can see through illusions.

It was also because his own sub-god level had reached level 20.

Even so, this illusion created by Elder Di still caused his primordial spirit to ripple for quite a while, indicating that he had been strongly impacted. This shockwave was the aftershock of a demigod.

This was the first time in my life I had experienced a near-god-level attack; the strangeness and terror were quite overwhelming...

Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath and stretched out her hand.

They took the old flute from the coffin.

This flute is very heavy.

Get it cold.

Lin Xiaosu, with her Heavenly Insightful Eyes, unraveled the mystery layer by layer, and was once again shocked.

This flute is not made of metal, bamboo, wood, or jade; it is made of animal scales that have fallen from the ground!

The animal scales on the ground are extremely thin.

Theoretically, it's impossible to forge a flute, but the flute in his hand is clearly made from the scales of a fallen beast.

There's only one reason why it's so incredibly large: this scale is unbelievably big!

It's incredibly thick!

It's not silver, but jade.

Could this be the ancestor of the Earthfall Beast series?
It is precisely because it is made from the scales of the ancestor that the flute can command the beasts of the earth.
Whether it is true or not, there is no way to verify it at present.

Because at that moment, he had infiltrated the temple.

Moreover, his recent encounter with Elder Di gave him a new understanding of the temple's profound history.

A race capable of passing down its heritage for thousands or tens of thousands of years—their trump cards are constantly being revealed.

To disturb them blindly is tantamount to courting death.

The flute was stored in the secret realm.

The door to the room was closed again.

Di Lao died in a secret room, and it's unlikely anyone will discover it anytime soon.

Why?

Because Master Di's way of resting is different from that of ordinary people.

He had exhausted a great deal of mental energy controlling the Earthly Army and needed to sleep in an absolutely quiet environment to recover his mental energy.

This kind of rest requires no food or drink, no service, just a little something, and no one else should disturb you.

Now, the flute player, whose single strike terrified the world, is resting in peace.

The rest period will be permanent!

Lin Xiaosu's entry and exit from this secret room ended a person's life and also brought an end to the trump card that the temple had just played.

But his journey is not over yet.

He had an even bolder plan...

After winding through the passage, a bronze door appeared ahead.

Lin Xiaosu traveled back in time and saw the scene of the seven elders seeing the two off...

To open this door, the approval of almost all the elders of the temple is required.

Because each of their walking sticks has a hidden meaning.

Only when all five canes are gathered can the gate of the five elements be opened.

In theory, no one in the world can open a door by their own power.

However, many common-sense notions have been overturned by Lin Xiaosu...

With a flick of his wrist, a crimson stone flew toward the flame on the door. Then, with a swift movement, his longsword flashed, striking the stone door four times in a row.

These four swords each carry a different kind of energy.

The sword on the left embodies boundless vitality, the essence of wood.

The sword strike below is round and gentle, imbued with the energy of water.

The sword on the right is incredibly sharp, imbued with the energy of metal.

The sword in the center was incredibly heavy, imbued with the energy of earth.

The five elements in his body are lacking only the fire element.

It's alright, among the array stones that Sheng Hua Valley gave him, there are fire-type array stones.

It can be completely replaced.

Silently, the door opened.

Lin Xiaosu stepped into the passage, and the stone door closed silently behind him.

The temple is home to countless masters.

The area outside the temple was heavily guarded.

No one knew that, in full view of everyone, the person they hated most, Lin Xiaosu, entered the basement, killed Elder Di, opened the gate that required the gathering of five elders, and entered a hidden place in this world.

Perhaps, it's the most secluded place...

The passage was very long and seemed to have no end.

The passage was deep, and it kept getting deeper.

The passage was very quiet, and Lin Xiaosu finally realized that in an absolutely quiet environment, a person can hear their own heartbeat.

There were many forks in the passage, and if he were alone, he might get lost. Fortunately, his time travel ability was too powerful, and he followed two figures who had passed through the passage a few hours earlier.

The white-clad Left Envoy and the black-clad Qingru.

Watching the two figures walking in the darkness as if on flat ground, their gait graceful and elegant, like ancient noblemen, Lin Xiaosu had a strange feeling. He felt that the two people seemed very familiar.

Who possesses this free and easy temperament?

The woman has the Heavenly King of Wonderful Sound.

The man is Xiang Yixiu.

There was another person who gave Lin Xiaosu a similar feeling. Although he never walked in front of Lin Xiaosu with that gait, it seems that a person's temperament does not necessarily have to be presented through their gait.

This is Lin Weiyang, the owner of Baishan Residence.

Lin Weiyang is a really strange person.

A professor of high moral character, facing recruitment from foreign organizations, resolutely reported them, which led to his being suppressed by various groups and the loss of his wife and children.

The transition from academia to business was incredibly smooth, and within ten years, billions of dollars were earned.

Making money isn't about making money; it's about realizing a dream in my heart. Building the Mountain and Sea Club is a painstaking effort, using entertainment as a guise to actually save lives.

He also casually told Lin Xiaosu two things.

A man with two shadows, a place where the knife that will kill him is hidden.

The man is the Shadow King, and the place is the Temple of Sam.

It must be admitted that the sophistication of this information and the accuracy of this judgment were so profound that even Lin Xiaosu was moved.

Such a hint was not something the Hidden Dragon King could give him.

Lin Weiyang is good!
What kind of person is he?

If he is a friend, he will be a very important fellow traveler.

What if not?
So, what kind of character is he?
Lin Xiaosu shook her head gently. Let's talk about worldly matters when we get back to the world. The road in front of us doesn't seem to lead to the world.

There is light ahead!

Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat. Have we arrived?
His steps became lighter, almost silent, as he moved slowly forward. With each step, the passage gradually widened...

The scene before him made him almost unable to believe his eyes.

The mountains rise and fall, the sky is filled with red light, and the surrounding area is completely clear, showing no trace of the underground world.

However, under the all-seeing eye of Heaven, he clearly saw that Heaven has a lid!

In other words, the "heaven" is not the "illusory heaven" in the usual sense.

Rather, it refers to the objectively existing "real-world" situation.

This space is actually an underground cave.

However, this cave is so large that it seems to have no end!

He could see at least a hundred miles ahead, with no end in sight.

Standing at the exit of the passage and looking at the rolling mountains is exactly the same as standing on the mountaintop in the ground world at sunset and looking at the rolling mountains!
The surrounding light resembled the setting sun.

A fiery red expanse.

What is that glowing?

Lin Xiaosu's gaze sharpened; she saw it clearly: a volcano!
Volcanoes are everywhere, reflecting in this underground space.

Below the mountain lies a volcanic lake, where molten lava churns and scorching air rushes towards you. There is no fresh scent in the air, only a strong smell of sulfur.

In front of us is a mountain god temple.

The exit of the passage beneath his feet was right in the backyard of the mountain god temple.

Lin Xiaosu took three steps and then suddenly stopped.

Because two figures appeared in front of him.

These two men looked no different from the local Middle Easterners on the ground, but the clothes they wore were made of a fabric they had never seen before. The fibers were very coarse, like hemp rope, but they had a subtle sheen and did not look shabby on them.

"Who are you?" The six words came from the middle-aged man on the left.

They were speaking Chinese.

"I am a member of the Li Tian clan! The Left Envoy forgot something very important, and the elder asked me to bring it over immediately," Lin Xiaosu said.

The two men's expressions softened slightly. The man on the right said, "You went into the 'Bridge Realm' specifically to forget something important. What's wrong with your brain? Fine, give me the thing, and you can go back now!"

"The elder said that this thing is very important and must be handed over to the Left Envoy personally; it cannot be handed over by anyone else," Lin Xiaosu said.

The person on the left got angry: "Such a small outer gate, yet they have so many rules!"

"Alright, alright!" said the person on the right. "Extend your hand for a check! As long as you're truly a member of our clan, it won't hurt to let you in!"

He stretched out his hand, revealing a compass that shimmered with green light, with a sharp needle on it, stained with blood.

Blood test!
His identity as a member of the Li Tian clan was confirmed.

Lin Xiaosu frowned: "Is it really necessary to be this serious about work?"

"What? You have a problem with that?" The two men raised their eyes simultaneously, their expressions extremely authoritative.

Lin Xiaosu sighed softly: "I'm starting to understand that common lament among working stiffs: people who work too hard are prone to... sudden death!"

Chi!
Both heads flew off at the same time... (End of Chapter)
