Chapter 981: Power and Retreat

"With so many prodigies here, they must carry many tokens. Let’s take them all!" one of the purple spirits said greedily.

"Take them all!" The purple spirit, competitive even among themselves, moved into action.

Each movement was swift, and two of the purple spirits charged toward Kenny Lin at the same time.

They weren’t sure if what the two Eternal One Sect disciples had said was true, but the fact that this man was a Green Lotus Sect disciple was enough to compel them to act.

Even if he didn’t have a gold token, they wouldn’t be at a loss. He was bound to have crystal and silver token on him.

While two purple spirits lunged at Kenny Lin, another two headed toward the Divine Maiden Sect group. Temujin Lei and Seonho Ming, who had originally been fending off five purple spirits, suddenly only had to deal with one. The pressure on them eased instantly.

Kenny Lin raised his gaze, a faint glimmer flashing from his eyes. His dangerous aura surged as his clothes billowed despite the still air. His sword descended with deadly intent.

A sudden sense of threat washed over the two purple spirits, their expressions shifting drastically.

Anyone who could evoke a sense of danger in them must be exceptionally formidable.

They immediately moved to dodge to the left and right, but Kenny Lin’s white sword energy sliced between them, narrowly missing its target.

The two purple spirits sighed in relief, only to see that the sword energy abruptly veered in direction.

The spirit on the right barely had time to react before the blade pierced through its chest, slicing it cleanly in two.

Its red eyes flickered in shock as a cold presence bore down from behind it. With its gaze shifting backward, the last thing it sensed was the blinding pain of its head splitting as a hand reached through, clutching its core.

The purple spirit on the left was terrified beyond measure, feeling as if it had only blinked before its companion was slain.

Seeing the human cultivator charge forward without hesitation, an aura so dark it felt as if he himself were the wicked soul, the handsome contours of his face twisted in a dangerously demonic light.

Without hesitation, the remaining spirit turned around to flee. The very instant this human killed its fellow, it had felt the presence of a supreme ruler.

This human—it was certain it was no match for him. Fighting him would only lead to the same fate as its fallen comrade.

But Kenny Lin had no intention of letting it escape. A golden light flickered beneath his feet, and suddenly there were two Kenny Lin.

One remained in place briefly before fading away, while the other closed the distance behind the spirit, slashing through its body with a single stroke.

The entire sequence lasted less than ten breaths. Two purple spirits, both at the Soul Formation stage, were dead beyond revival.

The sight stunned everyone present.

Dayeon Xinyue and Temujin Lei’s group now realized they might have underestimated Kenny Lin’s power when they first saw him outside of the Path of All Immortals. Perhaps this was Kenny Lin’s true strength.

In the Jade Radiance Hall, a crimson soul searching for the culprit who had killed all its subordinates suddenly looked toward the direction of the Heavenly Flames Hall.

"This energy... why does it feel familiar?" The crimson spirit hesitated for a moment before its red eyes flared with a keen light. "It’s him—the human cultivator who killed Undine and Quenya!"

"My King!"

Before his subordinate could finish speaking, the crimson spirit streaked out like an arrow, vanishing in an instant.

It no longer cared about the unspoken rule forbidding one from trespassing into the various halls and territories. Its only thought was to locate the human who killed its subordinates and caused it such humiliation, depriving it of the chance to seize more tokens.

Meanwhile, Kenny Lin, who had just slain two purple spirits, didn’t pause. He immediately turned around to attack the two purple spirits assaulting the Divine Maiden Sect.

From a vantage point unseen by Dayeon Xinyue’s group, a wisp of black energy darted from Kenny Lin’s fingers and slipped into one of the purple spirits. Already terrified, the spirit’s expression turned to one of horror.

What was that energy invading its body, and why was its strength draining away? What had this human done to it?

Kenny Lin ignored it, moving instead to attack the other spirit.

"I don’t need your help—I can handle it myself," Dayeon Xinyue said coldly.

Without replying, Kenny Lin sliced through the second spirit, then turned around and finished off the one whose strength had been mostly absorbed by the black energy as it tried to flee. Four purple spirit orb in total were added to his collection.

He glanced toward the Jade Radiance Hall, sensing a powerful aura—likely at the Deity Transformation stage—heading straight toward them.

He had annihilated all the purple spirits in the Jade Radiance Hall, leaving this Deity Transformation spirit with no more subordinates, so it was likely going to act recklessly now.

Out of respect for the Divine Maiden Sect, who had just mocked Temujin Lei and Seonho Ming, Kenny Lin sent Dayeon Xinyue a telepathic message.

"A Deity Transformation spirit from Jade Radiance Hall is coming."

With that, he left.

"We should go as well," Dayeon Xinyue immediately decided, not bothering to inform Temujin Lei and Seonho Ming.

She didn’t give a reason, but none of the Divine Maiden Sect disciples questioned her. They quickly followed.

"Temujin, they’re leaving," Seonho Ming noticed this, mistakenly thinking that Kenny Lin and the Divine Maiden Sect must have some kind of plan.

Temujin Lei’s gaze darkened. Summoning a sudden surge of strength, he finally killed the purple spirit beneath his blade. "We should leave too. I sense a stronger force approaching—it’s likely a Deity Transformation stage spirit."

A glint of understanding flashed in Seonho Ming’s eyes. He finally realized why Kenny Lin and the Divine Maiden Sect had left.
