Chapter 145: Chapter 141: Taoist Alliance Envoy, Gratifying Vengeance!

Mei Mountain Jungle.

A cloud auspiciously flew across the sky. Atop the cloud stood a general clad in Bright Armor, a Mystical Robed Taoist, and many others encircling a woman official.

The woman appeared youthful, dressed in a white robe, her jet-black hair tied loosely with a red cord and cascading freely down her back. Her fair complexion and mesmerizing eyes exuded a sacred, ethereal grace, as though she were a celestial female immortal descended to the mortal world.

Master Huoyun personally came out to greet them upon sight.

"May I ask which envoy you are?"

The woman introduced herself, "I am Yun Xiao, the Mystical Character Day and Night Merit Officer of the Zhouu Jueyin Heavenly Palace, Sun, Moon, and Five Star Mansion, and the Jiazi Divine Travel Hall of the Divine Travel Department, serving as the Sixth-rank Spirit Official Certifying Merit Officer."

This barrage of titles left many stunned, even dizzy, though Master Huoyun, being part of the system, understood without difficulty.

"So, it’s an envoy from the Taoist School’s Central Branch. Huoyun of Meilin’s Liqi Commandery offers his respects to the Merit Officer. May I ask what brings the Merit Officer here?"

"I am here in search of a Thousand-year-old Tree Spirit," Yun Xiao said. "The Thousand-year-old Tree Spirit takes the form of a Green Sheep and is extremely dangerous. It has the ability to manipulate human minds. I tracked it here from the Spirit Treasure Sect but lost its trace."

"Very well, I shall assist you!"

These roles were all positions within the Taoist Alliance.

Above ordinary Taoist Temples were the jungles.

Above the jungles were the Taoist Schools, which were not merely a single temple but institutions comprising numerous jungles.

While there existed the Heavenly Master Central Taoist Temple, it certainly did not encompass all of the Taoist Schools.

The Taoist Alliance consisted of five Taoist Schools, managing a population of nearly five hundred million.

How could a few members of the Three Capitals and Five Masters, along with the Eighteen Heads, possibly govern all of this?

To coordinate the diverse interests and address the power vacuums among factions, pursue demons crossing borders, and manage the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, every domain required departments or institutions to work together.

This world operated on the law of the jungle. Even with the Heavenly Master’s supreme authority, the Heavenly Master also needed time to cultivate and comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

If they personally handled every matter, wouldn’t they spend all their time either in meetings or traveling to meetings?

Hence, institutions like the Five Palaces and Nine Prefectures of the Taoist Alliance emerged.

Master Huoyun fell under the jurisdiction of the Meilin Commandery of the Five States Society Commandery and held authority over Meilin County, including the power to issue official certificates.

Song Lin’s Secondary Sixth-rank Heavenly Spirit Red Official Yin Official General Position belonged to the Heavenly Court and had little connection with the secular Taoist School.

He couldn’t manage the Heavenly Court, and this position was merely a symbol of identity within the Heavenly Court. True authority still depended on Taoist Alliance positions and titles like temple master or Taoist.

......

Xuanke Temple.

Tianwu broke his word, acting prematurely rather than waiting for him to emerge.

Song Lin’s expression darkened as he ascended into the sky.

In the heavens, Shi Yinhua’s pallid face grew even more ashen.

Greyish Corpse Qi enveloped the surrounding space, slicing it into an illusionary realm resembling a haunted maze, entrapping Tianwu and himself within.

This desperate measure left him no alternatives.

To prevent Tianwu from further bloodshed, Shi Yinhua had no choice but to sacrifice himself.

In the illusionary realm, Tianwu furiously charged around but could not find a way out.

Infuriated, Tianwu reverted to his original form, standing before Shi Yinhua, single-handedly strangling his throat.

"I’ll give you one last chance," he said.

Tianwu felt humiliated; to be controlled by a mere junior was beneath him.

Despite having his throat gripped, Shi Yinhua displayed no discomfort, being neither fully alive nor dead.

"Just promise me you won’t harm the people of the Taoist Temple," Shi Yinhua said.

"There is no room for negotiation. Will you release it or not?"

Seeing no response, Tianwu roughly understood his thoughts.

Mana immobilized Shi Yinhua’s limbs, and his grip on the throat grew tighter, intent on crushing it.

"Stop!!"

Boom!

At that moment, Song Lin flew in from the horizon.

Faster than his figure was a golden Five Mountains Seal.

The Five Mountains Seal aimed straight for Tianwu’s head.

Tianwu released Shi Yinhua, his palm covered in pitch-black scales as he clashed with the airborne imprint!

Boom!

Tianwu staggered backward, stunned.

He could not understand why Song Lin possessed such immense power.

Shi Yinhua’s body hit the ground heavily, and upon seeing Song Lin, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, you’re here!"

The illusionary realm dissipated. Song Lin roughly counted—two Taoists had died, along with over twenty Taoist disciples. The civilian casualties likely exceeded a thousand.

"Why did you break your promise?" Song Lin asked calmly, though such composure masked extreme fury.

He disliked creating trouble but would not swallow his grievances.

"Does demon extermination require a reason? Taoist, whose side are you on?" Tianwu retorted with a mocking smile, justifying his actions from a moral high ground. "The Hall Master is on their way. Not only will I kill your people, but I will impeach you as well!"

Saying so, Tianwu descended below.

"I’m giving you a chance to repent. Hand this person over to me, surrender half of Xuanke Temple’s assets, or I will accuse you of ambushing your fellow members of the Taoist School," Tianwu said, pointing at the injured and supported Shi Yinhua.

"Temple Master, he struck first! We did not ambush anyone!" Shi Yinhua clutched his chest and protested.

Just then, a green light streaked across the horizon.

From the aura, it was undoubtedly Heluo.

As the two argued, the Coiled Dragon Jade at Song Lin’s waist emitted a faint glow, as if sensing a certain energy.

Yet Song Lin’s focus remained elsewhere, and he did not notice it.

"The Hall Master has arrived. Have you made up your mind?" Seeing Heluo’s figure, Tianwu grew more confident. "Isn’t this obvious? Can a mere disciple be worth more than your position? Your future?"

Upon these words, despair darkened the faces of many.

The opponent was a Core Formation Expert and one of Heluo’s trusted followers. Within the hierarchy, superiors held all the power—how could they fight against that?

Shi Yinhua gritted his teeth, seemingly having made a decision. The Taoist Temple was flourishing, and he couldn’t allow himself to drag it down.

He pushed away the others, stepped forward, and said, "Temple Master, I plead guilty!"

"Wait!" Song Lin raised a hand to stop Shi Yinhua. Turning to Tianwu, he said, "We plead guilty, but before that, I want to do one thing."

"What?" Tianwu was perplexed.

"Falsely accusing us of an ambush feels unfair," Song Lin remarked.

"What are you rambling about? Have you gone mad?" Tianwu demanded.

"I’m saying... maybe we should truly ambush you!" freewёbnoνel.com

Boom!

Song Lin’s eyes shone golden, True Qi surging around him. His robes fluttered wildly as sun and moon phenomena manifested behind him.

The radiance extended for dozens of miles.

The inheritor of the Five Thunders specialized in swift justice and eradicating inequity!

One strike for the vile and despicable!

"Thunder, come!!"

The Five Thunders Order soared into the air.

Dozens of thunderbolts as thick as thighs descended.

Since achieving Perfect Divine Establishment, Song Lin could unleash dozens of lightning bolts through the Five Thunders Heavenly Master’s Token.

"Stop!!" Heluo, witnessing the scene from afar, trembled with rage. This man had become utterly uncontrollable.

"Shameless!!"

Tianwu had never anticipated that Song Lin would dare act under the Hall Master’s very nose. He barely had time to transform into his centipede form.

Boom! Boom!

The thunderbolts struck the centipede form, tearing its body apart.

Through the smoke, Song Lin charged with his treasure sword.

Seeing Song Lin approach, Tianwu smirked instead of panicking.

"Foolish! You dare engage in close combat with me?"

Demon Transformation Cultivators feared no one in melee battles.

Tianwu expelled the Ten Thousand Demon Poison Pill, releasing dense green fog, and then swung his massive, mountain-crushing tail down furiously.

The Evil Poison Fog could harm his opponent’s soul, while his tail’s scales rivaled Spiritual Artifacts.

"Die!"

The tail swung swiftly, arriving above Song Lin’s head in an instant.

At that moment, the Coiled Dragon Jade at Song Lin’s waist shone brightly, transforming into a cyan-colored Coiled Dragon.

The Coiled Dragon fixated its malicious gaze on the centipede.

"A dragon?"

Tianwu was shocked, feeling an innate terror and suppression from the depths of his bloodline.

All he wanted now was to flee, yet he couldn’t retract his attack.

The Coiled Dragon morphed into armor, blocking all the poison fog outside.

Staring down at Tianwu, Song Lin smirked, "Seen a True Dragon before?"

This time, a false Heavenly Dragon faced the real Coiled Dragon.

Boom!

The centipede’s tail struck, only to be deflected back. The Coiled Dragon then reverted to its dragon form, swiftly tearing through the centipede’s scales and injecting venom.

"Such... poison..."

Tianwu’s eyes dimmed as he gradually lost consciousness, his colossal body crashing down and demolishing countless structures.

"As expected, invincible!" The Coiled Dragon Jade, in its first battle in the Real World, achieved an unparalleled victory.

Although Song Lin could have defeated him using Rampant Soldiers and his current strength, it wouldn’t have been as clean and decisive.

"Song Lin!!" Heluo’s eyes burned red with fury as he finally arrived, belatedly.

At that moment, an unexpected twist occurred.

Countless roots emerged from the ground, winding tightly around the centipede, pulling it into the earth.
