Chapter Thirty-Nine: Racing Against Time Day and Night

  Chewing on medicinal herbs is a desperate move. Although it's not elegant, it's better than dying. When he came, Lin Xi originally planned to refine some elixirs, but refining elixirs takes time, and time is what Lin Xi lacks the most. So the things he collected from his body are all some medicinal herbs that have healing effects.

  This type of healing herb is extremely precious. It's even more precious than herbs that boost one's power. It's a material for refining high-quality healing pellets.

  The girl's complexion improved significantly after chewing some medicinal herbs from the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range.

  "Shaomen, three elders..."

  The girl lifted her head, and her eyes were already moist.

  A trace of blood appeared in Lin Xi's eyes, and he said fiercely:

  "Auntie's matter, I already know. This time when I go back, I will chop that old scoundrel Meng Jun into a million pieces!"

  "What?!"

  The girl was startled and suddenly lifted her head:

  "No, no, no! ... Young Master, you can't go back. The Third Elder risked his life to have me deliver this message, which is to tell you not to go back and also not to rescue her. The Third Elder had me tell you that the farther you go, the better, and never return to Wulei Mountain again!"

  Lin Xi's body shook violently, and he felt an overwhelming urge to cry in his heart. He had not expected that his aunt would still be considering him at this time.

  In his past life, Lin Xi was the heir of a national martial arts family. Most of the time, he felt the weight of responsibility and threats from all sides. The only thing he didn't feel was this kind of deep affection.

  However, in this life, in a world that had just arrived for less than four months, Lin Xi felt such precious and rare kinship on another person.

  "Meng Jun, I will make you pay the heaviest price!"

  Lin Xi's eyes shot out a deep and profound flame of hatred.

  "Tell me the whole story."

  Lin Xi said calmly.

  The carriage was quiet, and the girl suddenly told the whole thing from start to finish. Everything was as Wei Ping said, Meng Jun and others used Lin Xi as bait to lure Lin Ruyun out.

  Because Lin Ruyun left in a great hurry, no one was notified. So even the Great Elder didn't know where she went. No one knew that Meng Jun and Wei Buping had already made their move on her.

  Lin Ruyun knew that Meng Jun and Wei Bu Ping would not let her off, so she desperately held them back, letting the girl head to the Beast Mountain Range, bringing a message to Lin Xi, telling him not to come back.

  The girl was originally injured, and the long journey in between made her injuries even more severe. Moreover, the mountains were endless, and she had no idea where Lin He was. So, she chose a clever way to wait for Lin He on the official road that led to Wu Lei Mountain, far outside the mountains.

  "Sister, think again about the situation at that time and see if there's anything missing."

  Lin Xidao.

  He had a kind of intuition that this matter was absolutely not so simple.

  Meng Jun and Lieyang Zong colluded, their plot is not small.

  Lin Xi already knew that Meng Jun and Wei Bu Ping, in conjunction with Lie Yang Zong, wanted to deal with the Great Elder and incorporate Wu Lei Mountain into Lie Yang Zong.

  At first, Lin Xi was shocked and angry. But now that she has calmed down, she immediately realizes that Meng Jun and Wei Bu Ping's move against her aunt Lin Ruyun was completely unnecessary and not part of the plan.

  After all, once something goes wrong, not only can't afford to offend Lin Ruyun, but also have to disturb the Great Elder, it's not worth it. Unless... they have a reason that they cannot do otherwise. Even more important than dealing with the Great Elder.

  "Right!"

  The girl's eyebrows suddenly spread apart, as if she had suddenly remembered something:

  "I heard them mention Lady Palmdoor, apparently she has some connection with the royal family that your mother came from back then."

  "What?!"

  Lin Xixin's heart skipped a beat, and almost subconsciously, she thought of the mysterious "Wan Huang Tu" hidden in her mother's portrait scroll. Her mother came from the royal family, so it was no surprise that the ultimate origin of Wan Huang Tu could only be the royal family.

  "...The three elders scolded them at that time, saying they were the running dogs of Lieyang Sect. It seems that this thing will eventually be handed over to Lieyang Sect."

  The girl said.

  Lin Xi's mind was filled with thoughts, turning over numerous ideas. As the heir of a national martial arts family in his past life, he had been able to stand out from many competitors, and it wasn't just because of his strength alone; wisdom was equally indispensable.

  "Auntie won't be in danger for the time being..."

  Lin Xi quickly came to a conclusion. The matter involved Lin Xi's mother, and the Wan Huangtu. Without getting accurate information, it could be confirmed that Meng Jun and others would not kill Aunt Lin Ruyun. However, this matter was also not without risk. Once Meng Jun and others confirmed that Aunt Lin Ruyun really knew nothing, they would ruthlessly take her life.

  So Lin Xi must quickly resolve Meng Jun before things get worse and find out where his aunt is.

  "Sister, I'll take care of Aunt's matter myself. As for Meng Jun, you don't have to worry. - You may not know yet, but Wei Bu Ping and the elder of Lie Yang Sect who colluded with him have already been killed by me!"

  Lin Xi said in a low voice.

  "What?!"

  The girl was shocked and stared at Lin Xi in disbelief.

  Lin Xi didn't say a word, he just raised one arm. In the blink of an eye, Lin Xi's arm turned metallic in color and emitted a golden light in front of this female disciple of the Five Thunder Sect.

  "An indestructible body!"

  The girl's voice was hoarse from shouting, her eyes were dull and she had almost lost the ability to think. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have dared to believe that Lin Xi's martial arts skills could progress to such an extent in just a few short months.

  Lin Xi comforted his aunt's female disciple and stopped talking. His whole mind was immersed in the way of martial arts.

  It can be expected that upon arrival at Wulei Mountain, a great battle will inevitably ensue. Lin Xi must ensure that both his physical and mental states are in top condition.

  Time passed day by day, and every day was especially long for Lin Xi.

  By the sixth day's evening, Lin Xi could no longer sit still:

  "Sister, I'll go ahead first. You follow the horse carriage for a while and then come up."

  Having said that, he didn't wait for her response and, amidst a chorus of gasps, flung open the car door and vanished into the distance in a flash.

  Martial arts have six levels, and when one reaches the realm of divine movement, they possess the speed of a swift horse. Lin Xi has now reached the eighth level of Vajra period, his speed is like lightning, extremely fast, and his physical strength is also extraordinary. In just a blink of an eye, the wind outside the carriage was howling, but Lin Xi had already disappeared from sight.

  It's still a day's journey to the Five Thunder Mountain, but Lin Xi couldn't wait any longer. Every day on the horse-drawn carriage was like torture to him. The closer they got to the Five Thunder Mountain, the stronger this feeling became.

  "I hope Meng Jun didn't wait for Wei Bu Ping to come back before making a move."

  Lin Xi's only hope now is that he killed Wei Bu Ping and disrupted Meng Jun's plan.

  Wei Bu Ping went to the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range, with the goal of obtaining the Heaven and Earth Rare Fruit, to feed Meng Jue's tiger, allowing this ferocious beast to transform and increase its strength greatly, increasing their hopes of dealing with the Great Elder.

  Lin Xi killed Wei Bu Ping and took the Heaven and Earth Painting, which was what Hu Biao needed. Undoubtedly, this disrupted their plans. However, this wasn't foolproof.

  The Liuyang Sect's infiltration of the Five Thunder Sect is too severe. In the Xiong Beast Mountain Range, there are Dragon Power Realm elders who help Wei Wuping, and on Mount Thunder, the action against the Great Elder will certainly not lack the Liuyang Sect's top experts.

  The sky is getting darker, and the surrounding scenery is already unclear a little further away. Fortunately, there is an official road connecting Wulei Mountain, as long as you follow the official road, you can reach Wulei Sect without getting lost.

  Lin Xi exerted himself with all his might and rushed towards Wulei Mountain.

  Hoo-hoo!

  The wind howled on both sides, Lin Xi felt his physical strength gradually weakening. With a thought, Lin Xi immediately activated the "Dominating Heaven and Earth" technique.

  "Overlord's momentum" is the work of standing still, but when Lin Xi tried to run with his heart method, he unexpectedly found that Overlord's momentum can also be circulated while running.

  A wisp of heavenly energy, gathered into a white mist, surged in from all sides and poured into Lin Xi's body. Although it was still not as strong as the heavenly energy he absorbed when he was stationary, it was not much weaker either.

  These days of rest and relaxation were constantly replenishing Lin Xi's depleted physical strength.

  Buzz!

  The air was like a wave, Lin Xi followed the official road and quickly disappeared in the direction of the Five Thunder Sect.

  …………

  The lanterns had just been lit when Lin Xi arrived much earlier than expected.

  In the distance, a mountain peak stood tall on the earth, with dots of fire burning on its summit. Unlike before, the number of torches on the mountain had almost doubled, and the gathering light of the torches transformed into flames that pierced the sky, illuminating the outlines of grand halls.

  "Not good!"

  Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat, although there was still some distance from the mountain top, he clearly heard the deafening voices.

  Mount Wulei is usually very quiet at this time, and there wouldn't be so many people.

  "Something's happened!"

  Lin Xi's heart sank, and she accelerated her speed, advancing at full throttle.

  Under the Five Thunder Mountain.

  "Halt!"

  A loud shout, several figures lined up in a row, blocking Lin Xi's path. Their clothes were radiant with a fiery emblem that was particularly eye-catching.

  These people are disciples of Lieyang Sect.

  "Looking for death!"

  Lin Xi clapped his hands together, stirring up a fierce gust of air that slapped forward violently.

  Boom!

  A torrential force, rolling up unmatched waves of air, thundered forward. Suddenly, a loud crash was heard, and a row of Lieyang Zong disciples let out miserable cries, instantly blown to smithereens, their corpses nowhere to be found.

  "Someone is rushing into the mountain, stop him quickly!"

  Someone shouted in the darkness.

  "I am the Young Master of the Five Thunder Sect, who dares to stop me!"

  Lin Xi's anger burst forth, his voice like a mighty bell, resounding through the void.

  "What! It's Young Master Zhao!"

  In the darkness, someone exclaimed in surprise, apparently also recognizing Lin Xi's identity.

  "Hmph, what Young Master. It's no longer now. Second Elder will soon be the Master, who is the Young Master, let him decide!"

  Someone said in a cold voice.

  "Looking for death!"

  Lin Xi's eyes turned cold, and with a swift movement, he appeared in front of the disciple who was speaking. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the disciple like a chicken, lifting him up.

  "Ah! Let me go. — Everyone up, kill him!"

  The disciple did not expect that Lin Xi would take action so quickly, and with one move, he was caught out. His fourth-level Iron Bone cultivation was considered to be quite good, but in front of Lin Xi, he still had no room for resistance.

  "Thunder Five Sect rules: those who commit the following crimes will be put to death - rebellion against superiors, deceiving one's master and destroying one's ancestral heritage!"

  Lin Xi's five fingers closed in, and with a crisp sound, just like twisting a chicken's neck, he twisted the disciple to death.

  "All disciples of the Five Thunder Sect, listen to my orders! Those who are currently standing by and doing nothing will not be pursued. All those who continue to attack and attempt to rebel will be considered as plotting to create chaos, deceiving their masters and destroying their ancestors, and will be executed according to the sect's rules!"

  Lin Xi's voice was like thunder, rumbling and echoing throughout the entire Wulei Mountain.

  For Meng Jun, wanting to master the Five Thunder Sect and kill the Great Elder is undoubtedly best done at night. Now that the Lieyang Zong disciples have appeared on Wulei Mountain, the severity of the situation goes without saying.

  Lin Xi is not a good killer, but at this time, he still has a soft heart, which is a woman's benevolence.

  "Hum! Don't listen to his nonsense. Let's go together, and after this is over, the two elders will surely reward us heavily!"

  Seven or eight disciples surrounded him, some of whom were under Meng Jun's command and others under Wei Bu Ping's command. All of them were extremely loyal. In the few years that Lin Xiong did not ask about the internal affairs of the sect, they had all been absorbed by Meng Jun into his own power.

  In other words, although they are dressed in Wu Lei Pai attire, they are no longer disciples of Wu Lei Pai.

  "Wanting to die, I'll fulfill your wishes!"

  Lin Xi's eyes narrowed, and his body burst out with a fierce aura. He stepped forward, his feet stomping in a continuous motion, as he pounced on the disciples who refused to back down. With just a few slaps, their brains were smashed like watermelons, instantly turning into pulp.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Lin Xi was like a god of death descending upon the world, charging all the way to the peak of Wulei Mountain. Gods blocking gods, Buddhas blocking Buddhas. The current Wulei Sect is no longer the same as before. In chaotic times, severe laws must be used. Now, only killing can stop killing.
