Chapter 1223: Chapter 1222: Overall Power of the Black Sorcerer Palace "Boom!!" With one punch, Lin Dong easily killed Tian Qianqiu, who had reached the Earth Realm through the "Broken Mirror Blood Curse." This made everyone around even more aware of Lin Dong’s incredible strength. "Gurgle..." Tian Wandai and the Divine Generals who betrayed An Zhongshan swallowed their saliva in fear, their faces showing expressions of sheer terror. Everyone trembled violently, kneeling on the ground and emitting a chorus of pleas. "Master Lin, spare our lives!" "We were forced, Tian Qianqiu conspired with the Black Sorcerer Palace and captured our families to coerce us. If we didn’t agree, they would have killed our families. We had no choice but to betray War God An!" "Master Lin, War God An, please give us an opportunity to atone for our sins. Let us follow you and join in exterminating the Black Sorcerer Palace... I will definitely kill many from the Black Sorcerer Palace." "..." All these traitors knelt in submission. Lin Dong paid them no mind and instead said to An Zhongshan, "War God An, the next steps are up to you to handle." "How these traitorous Divine Generals are dealt with is up to you, War God An. However, the Tian Family Business Empire must be exterminated!" War God An’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Tian Wandai and these traitorous Divine Generals, clearly not intending to let them off. "Rest assured, Master Lin, I will take care of the matter," An Zhongshan responded. "Mmm." Lin Dong nodded, no longer concerned about what An Zhongshan would do to them. "War God An, handle the follow-up. Tomorrow, we can set out to besiege the Black Sorcerer Palace!" "Okay!" An Zhongshan nodded firmly, acknowledging that if they were leaving tomorrow, he still had many tasks today. He had to deal with these traitorous Divine Generals, extinguish the Tian Family Business Empire, and select a group of trustworthy Divine Generals. However, Lin Dong believed that An Zhongshan, a mighty War God, did not need his guidance on what to do. Soon after, Lin Dong left the Paocai Nation Military Department with Li Qiuci, Grey Snake, and Red Rat, returning to the wealthy Li Family. After returning to the wealthy Li Family, Lin Dong summoned Grey Snake and Red Rat to learn more about the Black Sorcerer Palace. From their mouths, Lin Dong gained a deeper understanding of the Black Sorcerer Palace. The Master of the Black Sorcerer Palace was actually a woman, but that’s no reason to underestimate her. This person is extremely cruel, especially enjoying abusing beautiful women and handsome men. This seemed to be a peculiar fetish of hers! Her strength was immensely formidable. According to the two, the Master of the Black Sorcerer Palace had once killed a Sixth Stage Grandmaster! The Black Sorcerer Palace didn’t just have her as an Earth Realm martial artist; they actually had another Earth Realm martial artist too. This Earth Realm martial artist was none other than the leader of their Twelve Zodiacs, the Dragon Hall Master Bai Long. The Twelve Zodiacs of the Black Sorcerer Palace were the twelve highest-ranking individuals in the palace, aside from the host. The twelve of them, each named after one of the zodiac animals, managed the twelve halls of the palace. For instance, Red Rat was named after the ’Rat’ from the zodiac, serving as the Mouse Hall Master. And Grey Snake was named after the ’Snake’ from the zodiac, controlling the Snake Hall. Among these Zodiac Hall Masters, Bai Long was the leader, his strength at the Earth Realm level. The other eleven were all Half-Step Earth Realm martial artists. In addition, from what Lin Dong heard from Grey Snake and Red Rat, he had a rough understanding of the overall power of the Black Sorcerer Palace. It was said that they had over sixty Sect Masters! After hearing all this, Lin Dong had a rough summary of the strength of the Black Sorcerer Palace. The Master of the Black Sorcerer Palace was above the Sixth Stage Grandmaster. There was also the Earth Realm martial artist, Hall Master Bai Long. Apart from already turncoat Grey Snake and Red Rat, there were nine more Half-Step Earth Realm martial artists. And over sixty Sect Masters! Such a powerful Martial Way force was indeed not to be underestimated. At the moment, Red Rat couldn’t help but say, "Master Lin, although you are immensely strong, just you and An Zhongshan teaming up to exterminate the Black Sorcerer Palace doesn’t seem very promising." "First, you are not necessarily a match for the Master of the Black Sorcerer Palace." "Second, that An Zhongshan might not be a match for Bai Long either." "Besides, the remaining nine Half-Step Earth Realm martial artists can’t be dealt with by you. Also, don’t forget about the over sixty Sect Masters of the Black Sorcerer Palace. With just these, the Paocai Nation Military Department really can’t compete..." Lin Dong gave a cold laugh and replied, "What, you’re thinking of betraying again? Want to taste the Asura Needle again?" "Dare not, dare not," the two hastily said. Red Rat said, "Master Lin, I’m just making an objective analysis..." Lin Dong snorted just then, also receiving a phone call from Ye Wuyou. "Dragon Lord, I and fifty Sect Masters have now arrived at Paocai Nation!" "Good." Lin Dong nodded and then said, "Bring them all to the wealthy Li Family." "Yes!" Hearing Lin Dong’s conversation on the phone, Grey Snake and Red Rat exchanged surprised glances, seeing astonishment in each other’s eyes. This Master Lin had actually brought fifty Sect Masters with him! But even so, in their view, their odds of winning were still not great.
