Chapter 1260: Chapter 1259 You Guys Are Late Lin Dong found a quiet spot, sat cross-legged, and began to refine the vigorous energy within his body. The true strength of the master of Dark Sorcerer Palace was that of a Seventh Stage Grandmaster. Such a massive amount of energy was comparable to that of a real Medicine King! "Huff, huff, huff～～～" He hurriedly activated the ’Devouring Technique,’ guiding that energy towards the center of his Dantian. That energy was wildly violent, relentlessly barraging Lin Dong’s body, threatening to make it burst. Luckily, Lin Dong was strong. If he was at the strength he had when he first obtained the Devouring Technique, his body would have burst from such formidable energy. But now, it was different; now, he was fully capable of withstanding it. "Sizzle, sizzle～～～" Lin Dong directed the energy along his meridians and into the center of his Dantian. There, the energy began to slowly coalesce. It flowed into Lin Dong’s seventh golden pill... Lin Dong’s seventh golden pill had only been half-formed before, but now, bolstered by this energy burst, it began to slowly grow. While Lin Dong was absorbing and refining that energy, in the outside world, An Zhongshan, Jin Yuan, and the fifty Sect Masters from Longmen had all arrived at this place. Ye Wuyou came forward to meet them. Seeing only Ye Wuyou present, An Zhongshan asked anxiously, "Where’s Master Lin? Why is it just you here?" He was worried that something bad had happened to Master Lin. Jin Yuan also asked with a trembling voice, "Could it be that we are too late?" Ye Wuyou nodded, "Yes, you are indeed too late..." "What..." Upon hearing this, Jin Yuan’s face turned deathly pale in an instant. It was as if someone had dusted his face with a layer of lime. Then he wailed loudly, "Master Lin, it’s all my fault! If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been dragged into this. I am the one who caused your death..." An Zhongshan also sighed, "Such a prodigious talent falling is truly a case of those whom the gods love dying young." Seeing their reactions, Ye Wuyou rolled her eyes, "What are you guys even talking about?" "Can’t you let me finish speaking?" "Ah?" Hearing this, An Zhongshan and Jin Yuan realized there might be a twist. They quickly turned their attention back to Ye Wuyou, waiting for her to continue. Ye Wuyou slowly said, "When I said you were too late, I meant that our battle has already ended." "Our Dragon Lord has already eliminated the master of the Dark Sorcerer Palace. All members of the Dark Sorcerer Palace have been captured!" "By saying you’re too late, I mean there’s nothing left for you to do!" "Ah!!?" An Zhongshan, Jin Yuan, and the Sect Masters behind them were all stunned. So, this is what she meant by being too late. However, An Zhongshan quickly inhaled sharply and couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Ye, you’re not joking, right?" "You’re saying Master Lin alone defeated the entire Dark Sorcerer Palace?" "Yes!" Ye Wuyou, too tired to explain further, led them forward, "Once we get up ahead, you’ll see whether I’m joking or not." Soon, Ye Wuyou led them to the site of the recent battle between Lin Dong and the master of the Dark Sorcerer Palace. The mummy that the master of the Dark Sorcerer Palace had become was still there. Ye Wuyou lifted the corpse and said to An Zhongshan and Jin Yuan, "Look, this is the deceased master of the Dark Sorcerer Palace!" An Zhongshan’s pupils contracted as he examined the body and quickly said, "Yes, this is indeed the master of the Dark Sorcerer Palace!" "My God, she was really killed by Master Lin!" "Before, when I fought a great battle with her, I knew she had the strength of a Stage Five Grandmaster," Such a person was actually turned into a mummy by Master Lin. Master Lin is too against the heavens, isn’t he? Hearing his words, Ye Wuyou rolled her eyes and said, "War God An Zhongshan, what Stage Five Grandmaster." "This old witch of the Black Sorcerer Palace isn’t just a Stage Five Grandmaster. She didn’t use her full strength in the battle with you. So, to you, she seemed like a Stage Five Grandmaster." "In reality, the old witch’s true strength is that of a Seventh Stage Grandmaster..." "Hiss~~~" Hearing this, An Zhongshan took an even sharper intake of breath, "Seventh... Seventh Stage Grandmaster!!!" "She, a Seventh Stage Grandmaster, was actually killed by Master Lin... Just how strong is Master Lin..." But before he could finish his words of shock, Ye Wuyou interrupted him and continued, "Not just that, the old witch also used a form of Black Witchcraft to sacrifice her lifespan and raise her strength to that of a level-eight Grandmaster. Yet she was still slaughtered by our Dragon Lord." As she said this, Ye Wuyou couldn’t help but stomp a couple of times on the dried corpse of the master of Dark Witch, to vent the frustration built up over the past few days. An Zhongshan: "..." He was completely stunned. Overwhelmed with shock, he couldn’t utter a single word. A level-eight Grandmaster, turned into a mummy by Master Lin. Just how terrifying is Master Lin! The Sect Masters from Paocai Nation’s Military Department behind him were also extremely shocked. Earth Realm martial artists, in their eyes, were already celestial beings. They revered their War God An Zhongshan like a deity. But at this moment, their deity was so shocked by Master Lin that his eyeballs almost fell to the ground. Just how powerful is that Master Lin! "Eh, what are these people doing?" At the moment, An Zhongshan, Jin Yuan and the others noticed that the members of the Black Sorcerer Palace were all spinning around in the same spot in this sea area. Ye Wuyou replied, "They have all been trapped in our Dragon Lord’s Illusion Technique, and are completely powerless to resist within his immortal illusion." "Everyone, together, let’s capture them." An Zhongshan, Jin Yuan, and the others nodded in agreement. Afterward, a group of people went to tie up all the members of the Black Sorcerer Palace with ropes. The martial artists first destroyed their cultivation, then bound them up. That way, when they woke from the illusion, they would have no power to resist. As An Zhongshan and the others went about this, they also recognized these people from the Black Sorcerer Palace. "This is Master Hei Tu of the twelve Zodiac Hall Masters of the Black Sorcerer Palace, a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist with a reputation for evil, destroy her!" "This is Lord Bai Long of the twelve Zodiacs, an actual Earth Realm martial artist, who even fell victim to Master Lin’s Illusion Technique and was powerless to resist. This one will need War God An to disable him." An Zhongshan approached Lord Bai Long, and seeing him trapped in the illusion, couldn’t help but express his astonishment. "Bai Long, a person who could dominate a region wherever he went, seems like an ant in front of Master Lin, effortlessly crushed." While astonished, he also felt a pang of sentiment. If he were up against Master Lin, wouldn’t he be just like Bai Long? He swore never to be an adversary of Master Lin in this life. He was determined to get the Paocai Nation’s Military Department to ingratiate themselves with Master Lin. To befriend Master Lin!
