Chapter 1417 - Chapter 1417 Chapter 1515 Seven Heroes of True Martial

Chapter 1417: Chapter 1515: Seven Heroes of True Martial Chapter 1417: Chapter 1515: Seven Heroes of True Martial Wang Linlang, after returning to the Supreme Palace, no longer sent any of its experts to deal with Fang Lin, having been truly intimidated by Fang Lin’s strength. She knew sending more people would simply be delivering fodder to him.

Unless the few old monstrous-level experts currently in seclusion within the Palace were to engage in battle, there would be a possibility of defeating Fang Lin.

But those individuals were among the highly respected within the Supreme Palace, including the previous Palace Master. Wang Linlang wouldn’t dare command them to confront a Spirit Source Martial Artist, even though this particular Martial Artist presently possessed strength comparable to the Great Longevity Ones.

As for the setbacks suffered at the hands of Fang Lin, Wang Linlang naturally wouldn’t swallow this grievance. Whether it was being outwitted by Fang Lin or the loss of her experts, Wang Linlang would find Fang Lin to settle this score.

However, at the moment, Wang Linlang wasn’t confident she could handle Fang Lin, so she could only temporarily stand down and let others from the Taoist Sect deal with Fang Lin.

When the time came for her to act, she wouldn’t need to exert much effort and could still share in the spoils, which would be much easier than fighting it out with Fang Lin.

Wang Linlang thought clearly; she already recognized Fang Lin’s formidability. Next, Fang Lin would undoubtedly encounter experts from the True Martial Hall and Chongyun Temple–both forces were as strong, if not stronger, than the Supreme Palace, and eventually, Fang Lin would fall in these Seven Seas. It was only a matter of time.

“Thinking my Supreme Palace is going to be the scapegoat is not so simple. You, True Martial Hall and Chongyun Temple, just watch from behind. I will let Fang Lin through, and see how you deal with him,” Wang Linlang murmured inwardly.

…

Fang Lin sat cross-legged inside the Supreme Saint Hall, with the seven Ancient Lamps of the Flame God already separated from within his body, currently engaged in breath regulation and meditation, to heal his injuries.

The efficacy of the Seven Days Unextinguished Pill was still present. Fang Lin knew he was pressed for time, so he couldn’t afford much rest, but forcibly integrating the seven Ancient Lamps of the Flame God had inflicted substantial harm upon him. No matter how urgent the time, he must allocate some time to recover from the injuries.

Otherwise, even before the effects of the Seven Days Unextinguished Pill wore off, his own flesh and blood might collapse first.

“The Seven Stars Tower is near the True Martial Hall. If I force my way to the Seven Stars Tower, I will inevitably clash with the True Martial Hall,” Fang Lin thought to himself solemnly, with a weighty expression between his brows.

The battle with Wang Linlang made Fang Lin deeply understand the power of the Great Longevity Ones, especially a major figure like Wang Linlang, the Palace Master of the Supreme Palace, whose strength far surpassed that of the ordinary Great Longevity Ones.

If not for the Seven Days Unextinguished Pill, Fang Lin might not have even overcome the challenge posed by Wang Linlang.

But even with the Seven Days Unextinguished Pill, for Fang Lin to defeat Wang Linlang was immensely difficult, not to mention killing her–almost an impossibility.

If a Great Longevity One wished to flee, not even an expert of the same realm could stop them. At best, Fang Lin could somewhat suppress Wang Linlang, but that was all.

Of course, for Fang Lin to achieve this with the cultivation of a Spirit Source Realm was already terrifying. Throughout history, none of the peerless geniuses could challenge the Great Longevity Ones with the cultivation of the Spirit Source Realm like Fang Lin did.

“Kid, why won’t you let this old man take action? At this rate, you might not last long enough to rescue that girl,” the Millenary Corpse Ginseng spoke up from the side.

Fang Lin smiled faintly, “No worries, I have my own measure. Your power shouldn’t be revealed yet, it will play a crucial role when the time comes.”

The Millenary Corpse Ginseng pouted, “If you ask me, that monkey is really something. If it could come help, we wouldn’t have to fight so desperately.”

Fang Lin shook his head, “For the Great Sage Equal to Heaven to lend me three Ancient Lamps of Flame God was already plenty gracious. Asking it to come to the Seven Seas to rescue people for me would be asking too much, moreover, as a Demon Saint of the Demon Beast clan, it couldn’t possibly demean itself to help me like that.”

“It’s a shame this lord’s powers are still insufficient. If I could grow a bit more, I’d be able to maintain my transformations longer,” the Thousand-Year Corpse Ginseng said.

Fang Lin responded, “That’s why your capabilities are vitally important and shouldn’t be used carelessly. You must use them at the most critical moment.”

“Rest assured, with this lord here, at the very least I can help you, kid, with collecting corpses or something,” the Thousand-Year Corpse Ginseng said with a sidelong glance.

Fang Lin said no more. After cultivating for two hours, his physical body had largely recovered. Taking advantage of the medicinal effects of the Seven Days Unextinguished Pill still inside him, Fang Lin left the Supreme Saint Hall and rode atop Boundless Mountain, heading deeper into the Seven Seas.

Below Wujie Mountain, many severed heads were hung. The reason Fang Lin did this was to deter the people of the Seven Seas, to prevent unwitting small fry from running into him.

Though it was a bit ostentatious, the effect was quite pronounced. Many people from the Taoist Sect who heard the news and came over, upon seeing Fang Lin’s display and the severed heads, immediately didn’t dare to approach. They hastily turned around and fled, fearing their own heads might also be hung beneath that mountain peak.

An island appeared before Fang Lin. The island was not small, yet there was no aura of any powerful beings on it.

Fang Lin maneuvered Boundless Mountain above the island, and from his vantage point, he could clearly see everything below.

There were people from the Taoist Sect on the island, but their cultivation was weak, with only a few even reaching the Heavenly Origin realm.

Most of them, however, were ordinary people without any cultivation. These commoners, now looking up at the Boundless Mountain controlled by Fang Lin, and seeing the severed heads hanging, trembled with fear, thinking a disaster was upon them. They knelt and kowtowed, begging Fang Lin for mercy.

Fang Lin glanced down, then shortly after, he steered Boundless Mountain away, not doing anything to the people on the island.

Destroying the island would be easy; a simple descent of Wujie Mountain would crush all the people there.

But such an act would be too brutal. After all, the island was populated by ordinary people with no cultivation. Fang Lin could be ruthless towards powerful practitioners from the Taoist Sects, but he wouldn’t indiscriminately slaughter the common folk of the Seven Seas.

For the entire day, Fang Lin was unobstructed, and even the slight obstacles that did appear posed no trouble for him.

As night fell, the sea breeze carried a bone-chilling coldness. Though the sea surface was calm, the Sea Beasts below were even more active than during the day.

An unusual atmosphere alerted Fang Lin to the impending crisis, but by the time he realized, it was already a bit late.

Seven beams of light suddenly appeared, and atop each beam stood a figure, enclosing Fang Lin within.

Fang Lin surveyed them with a cold gaze. These seven were not of the Great Longevity realm, all of them possessed merely the cultivation of Minor Longevity, but their presence gave Fang Lin the feeling as if he was facing Great Longevity practitioners.

The seven looked different from one another, all wearing black and white Taoist robes, seemingly all from the same force.

“Fang Lin, we, the Seven Heroes of True Martial, have been waiting for you for some time,” said one person in front of him.
