Star Pavilion, residential area for inner cabinet disciples.
Ling Chen was meditating with his eyes closed.
At this moment, his mind was replaying the scene of pursuing and killing the cultivators of the Burning Flame Sect.
For some reason, he always felt there was something odd about the Green Lotus Sword Manual.
With every person he killed, he found the third move of the Green Lotus Sword Manual easier to execute.
Especially the more people he killed, the stronger this feeling became!
However, the power did not seem to increase much.
He had already successfully cultivated the Green Lotus Sword Realm, how could there be any room for improvement?
Yet, this bizarre idea continued to linger in his mind.
He pondered deeply for a long time, but could not find anything special.
Ling Chen shook his head and dismissed the thought.
Then, he started his cultivation.
He was using high-grade Spirit Crystals.
Due to the Night Moon Saint Body, he had no cultivation bottlenecks.
Therefore, ten days later, his cultivation naturally broke through to the late fourth level of the Palace Mansion Realm.
After that, Ling Chen temporarily stopped advancing his cultivation level.
He began to practice the high-grade Body Technique King Spirit Technique.
Although his physical body was incredibly strong, comparable to the third level of the Palace Mansion Realm, his Spiritual Power was relatively weak.
Facing ninth-level powerhouses, he could only have the upper hand in attack power.
In terms of speed, he was slightly inferior.
Therefore, he urgently needed to practice the high-grade Body Technique King Spirit Technique to compensate for his disadvantage in speed.
"Small Movement Step!"
A King Spirit Technique appeared in Ling Chen’s mind.
It was a high-grade movement technique that he had found from inherited memories.
After calming his mind, Ling Chen began to comprehend this King Spirit Technique.
Even with Ling Chen’s Divine Soul and comprehension abilities, it was impossible to master it in a short time.
Ling Chen was not in a hurry.
The Burning Flame Sect had suffered a major defeat last time, losing many soldiers and officers.
Their King-level cultivators burned their Essence Blood, significantly weakening their strength.
So, it was unlikely they would attack the Star Pavilion again soon.
This provided an excellent opportunity for the Star Pavilion to recuperate.
In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed.
The Small Movement Step was still incomplete.
However, because the practice of Small Movement Step consumed a large amount of Spiritual Power, it inadvertently led to his breakthrough to the fifth level of the Palace Mansion Realm.
It was a blessing in disguise!
The improvement in cultivation level gave Ling Chen more Spiritual Power to practice the Small Movement Step.
Ling Chen finally mastered the high-grade Body Technique King Spirit Technique.
Just as Ling Chen was overjoyed, a voice sounded in his ear.
It was the voice of the Pavilion Master.
"Whizz whizz whizz..."
Over a dozen sounds of breaking wind arose.
Ling Chen, Shen Xing, Yang Shen, and nine Guardians all appeared.
"Pavilion Master, what’s the matter?"
The first Guardian, Lei Lie, asked.
"The Burning Flame Sect is here again!"
Master Liu’s face was grim.
"Weren’t they taught enough of a lesson last time?"
Last time, the Burning Flame Sect mobilized a large number of Kings and were only able to escape after burning their Essence Blood.
"This time, it might not be just the Burning Flame Sect alone!"
In the previous battle, his Star Pavilion had almost revealed all its strength.
They were able to win because they had hidden their power, catching the Burning Flame Sect off guard.
Now that the Burning Flame Sect was attacking again, he suspected that Ye Tianjun was fully confident.
Burning Flame Sect has sixteen kings in total.
In the last battle, they lost two, so there are fourteen left.
But we are only thirteen.
We may not be able to repulse the Burning Flame Sect.
Although Ling Chen possesses the invincible strength of the King Realm, he is still not a king.
In terms of weapons, cultivation level, and World Power, we are at a disadvantage.
Although he has mastered the five levels of Sword Intent, he is likely not a match for kings.
Even if his attacks can match the opponents, his speed is certainly not as fast.
With the methods of a king, killing Ling Chen would not be difficult.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
At that moment, streaks of light appeared in everyone’s sight, followed by the sounds of swift wind.
"My god, why are there so many?"
"Wow, there must be more than thirty people, right?"
"How does the Burning Flame Sect have so many king-level powerhouses?"
Lei Lie and the others exclaimed in shock.
An incredulous expression appeared in their eyes.
From their speed, it was clear that all the newcomers were kings in the World Realm!
When the light dissipated,
Everyone’s faces were revealed.
The leader was still Ye Tianjun.
His aura was still strong, having burned his Essence Blood earlier but recovered by taking a treasure.
Behind him, there were eight kings at the third level of the World Realm!
Among them, one was recognized by Ling Chen.
It was Chen Yuxuan, the Sect Master of Xuanyin Sect, who had fought Shen Xing before.
The remaining seven also had powerful auras.
Following them were the kings from the first and second levels of the World Realm.
There were thirty-nine people in total.
Seeing such a formidable arrangement, the faces of Lei Lie and other Guardians turned ashen.
How are we to fight this?
Thirteen against thirty-nine?
Not to mention the numbers.
Just the cultivation level of the opponents was overwhelmingly superior.
"Liu Xiao, this time, I really want to see how you will fight against me,"
Ye Tianjun sneered viciously, with a murderous intent on his face!
This time, he had called upon the kings of all eight major sects in the Eastern Domain.
That’s what made this lineup so luxurious!
Liu Xiao, however, did not pay attention to Ye Tianjun but turned to Chen Yuxuan and the other eight Sect Masters, saying, "What is this, gentlemen? Do you really wish to be tyrants? Over these years, under Ye Tianjun’s leadership, how our Eastern Domain has fared, do you not know? If we continue this way, our Eastern Domain will truly be finished!"
Upon hearing these words, the eight Sect Masters fell silent.
Ye Tianjun snorted coldly, "Liu Xiao, stop fear-mongering. I, the Burning Flame Sect, am the appointed Lord of the Eastern Domain by the Lord Governor! You are committing a rebellion, and today, as the Lord Domain, I will exact justice on you!"
These Sect Masters were coerced to come here by his status and power as the Domain Lord.
Naturally, he could not let Liu Xiao stir them up.
"Master Liu, you might as well surrender,"
Chen Yuxuan spoke coldly, "If you do so, perhaps the Lord Domain, in a moment of compassion, might spare the other members of Star Pavilion."
His Xuanyin Sect had completely submitted to the Burning Flame Sect.
Therefore, he had also volunteered last time.
However, he had not expected Star Pavilion to be so powerful.
But no matter how powerful the Star Pavilion was, could it withstand the combined attack of almost all major factions in the Eastern Domain?
Ye Tianjun nodded and said, "Yes, Liu Xiao, if you surrender, the Lord Domain promises to only kill you and Ling Chen; everyone else will be spared."
Liu Xiao was stirring them up, but he also wanted to use this opportunity to break up Star Pavilion.
Even a blind person could see the huge gap in strength.
A single sect’s power versus the power of an entire domain, it was clear who was stronger.
Liu Xiao looked at the other seven Sect Masters and sighed, "It seems you really intend to be tyrants, well, fend for yourselves then!"
"Liu Xiao, you better save your own life first!"
Another Sect Master spoke.
For him, even if he submitted to Star Pavilion, he would not be the future Domain Lord.
Strength decides everything.
And with such a clear difference in power, even a blind person would make the wise choice.
