Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Chapter 183 Ling Tianhou discovers clues and tests Lin Che
Upon seeing the soul cluster before him, Xu Liguo's eyes lit up immediately. Without hesitation, he swallowed the entire cluster and exclaimed:

"Don't worry, Master, I, Xu Liguo, am absolutely loyal. Even if you ask me to climb a mountain of knives, I will never go into a boiling oil pot!"

"It's just placing the crystallized blood fiend in the designated location. Don't worry, Master, leave this to me. I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Lin Che nodded, then closed his eyes and expanded his divine sense to confirm that Ling Tianhou was not in the Great Luo Sword Sect before arranging for Xu Liguo to go and make arrangements.

Xu Liguo was quite capable. Since he had eaten the soul ball that Lin Che gave him, he naturally understood the principle of "he who eats another's food is bound to him." He immediately took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the core area and buried the bead of evil energy in the designated location.

By the time Xu Liguo finished placing it, it was already the next day.

Fortunately, there weren't many disciples in the core area, and most of these cultivators chose to go into seclusion and rarely came here in person. Therefore, no one noticed that Xu Liguo had placed a bead condensed from blood and evil energy here.

Xu Liguo wiped the sweat from his cheeks and said with a smile, "Master, I've finished. Could you... give me some more soul fragments to taste?"

Lin Che said calmly, "I already gave it all to you. It's your own fault for not being frugal. Who can you blame?"

Upon hearing that he had no more soul fragments to consume, Xu Liguo cursed Lin Che countless times in his mind, feeling quite resentful. Why was he so miserable...?

This scoundrel is treating me like a donkey; it's an utter disgrace...

Lin Che glanced at Xu Liguo in front of him and began searching Wu Ma's original memories.

The Gate of the Demon Spirits of the East Sea is one of the three forbidden areas outside the Heavenly Fortune Star, and its control changes hands every ten thousand years.

This time, it is under the control of the Great Luo Sword Sect, and there are ancient demons within it. The Demon Spirit Gate opens once every five thousand years. After it opens, all the sects on Tianyun Star will send disciples to enter this place to capture the ancient demons.

Capturing the ancient demon is secondary; the main purpose of entering the East Sea Demon Spirit Gate is a trial, a bloody trial, which is extremely dangerous once you enter!

It could even be said that the fewer people who come out, the more benefits they will receive. The real benefit is that at the moment of coming out, they will receive a blessing from the demon spirit of the East Sea.

Therefore, as long as everyone inside is slaughtered, more benefits will be gained after leaving, which is also very beneficial for Lin Che at present.

This demonic empowerment can help cultivators forcibly elevate their cultivation level to a new realm!
Receiving initiation at the moment of attaining the pinnacle can immediately lower the threshold of dying upon hearing the Dao to the lowest level, thus infinitely increasing the chances of reaching the pinnacle.

If one has already reached the pinnacle of cultivation, then with the help of a demonic spirit empowerment, one can take another step forward.

If one were to receive the empowerment of a late-stage Ascending to the Throne realm, one might be able to break through that barrier, entering the realm of Yin and Yang, and achieving an indestructible body with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years!

Lin Che closed his eyes and quietly waited for the time to come. Once the East Sea Demon Spirit was activated, the entire Great Luo Sword Sect would be destroyed.

.........

Time flies, and before they knew it, thirty years had passed. In these thirty years, Lin Che's cultivation level had already risen from the late stage of Yin Deficiency to the early stage of Yang Reality.

Although the difference between the early stage of Yang Realm and Yin Deficiency is not significant, without relying on their own talent and magic treasures, cultivators of the two can absolutely dominate each other.

Finally, during Lin Che's years of seclusion, the East Sea Demon Spirit was about to open, and Ling Tianhou, the founder of the Great Luo Sword Sect, summoned all twelve Sword Xiao sons. As Ling Tianhou's voice fell, the twelve Sword Xiao sons hurriedly flew out of their secluded caves and bowed to their ancestor.

"Meet the Master."

Ling Tianhou stroked his pale goatee and nodded, saying, "It seems that your cultivation has improved over the past few decades. The next battle against the East Sea demons will depend on the dozen or so of you."

As the senior brother of the Twelve Sword Masters, Chenlong naturally stepped forward, bowed to Ling Tianhou, and said confidently, "Don't worry, Master. This time, in the East Sea Demon Spirit event, our Twelve Sword Masters of the Great Luo Sword Sect will definitely come out on top and make other sects feel fear."

Ling Tianhou nodded in satisfaction, a cold glint suddenly flashing in his cloudy eyes: "With the opening of the Demon Spirit Gate this time, the disciples of Tianyunzi will likely try to sabotage us again. Remember, if you encounter anyone from the Tianyun Sect, show no mercy; kill them if you can!"

The twelve swordsmen responded in unison, their sword intent bursting forth and creating a series of buzzing sounds in the void.

In a hidden corner, Xu Liguo huddled in the shadows, watching the spirited Jian Xiao Twelve, secretly cursing in his heart.

Xu Liguo touched his empty storage bag. Ever since Lin Che refused to replenish his soul cluster, his cultivation had stagnated, and his position in the sect had become increasingly awkward.

"Once the Demon Gate opens, I need to find a chance to reap some benefits."

Xu Liguo licked his dry lips, his gaze falling on the jade slip shimmering with spiritual light at Chen Long's waist. It was a secret treasure containing the top sword techniques of the Great Luo Sword Sect.

Ling Tianhou looked at Lin Che's location. Lin Che had now transformed into the form of a horse, and with the help of a high-level Void Treasure, the other party naturally couldn't see anything amiss.

However, the meticulous Ling Tianhou found it rather strange. After all, he was a late-stage Jingni Great Perfection expert, so he naturally sensed a very familiar aura on Lin Che.

Ling Tianhou said calmly, "Wu Ma, come out here for a moment."

Lin Che was startled and looked at Ling Tianhou's position with some confusion, thinking that the other party had discovered something. He walked over nervously.

"Wu Ma greets Master."

"I ask you, do you know the core cultivation technique of my Great Luo Sword Sect?"

Ling Tianhou had one hand behind his back, with a special golden sword condensing in his palm, as if he would kill Lin Che on the spot if he answered incorrectly.

Lin Che's heart pounded with alarm, but outwardly he bowed his head respectfully and said, "Reporting to Master, I have been practicing the Great Luo Sword Technique day and night. Although I have not yet fully grasped its essence, I have thoroughly memorized the incantations and sword intent of the first three volumes of the technique."

Lin Che secretly activated his cultivation technique, completely concealing his aura and disguising it as the unique spiritual energy fluctuations of Wu Ma.

Ling Tianhou's gaze was like lightning, and the golden sword trembled slightly in his palm: "In that case, let's demonstrate it and let your master take a look."

Before the words were even finished, a sharp sword aura suddenly attacked Lin Che's face, a probing move.

Lin Che's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly used the Flowing Cloud Step, which Wu Ma was most skilled at. His figure retreated three steps like a ghost, and his right hand formed a sword with his fingers together, drawing out half a silver light with the spiritual power in his body.
