"Rage Sea Howl."

Li Lin snorted coldly, his hand seal changed, and his true qi shook as if to tear apart the air, spreading out crisscrossing blue lights, which instantly turned into a roaring mist.

In an instant, the mist spiraled up into a huge water vortex, like a tornado storm, twisting the void and slamming it fiercely.

"Bang bang..."

When the forces collided, a shocking explosion sounded immediately, the ground around cracked long fissures, and the violent force clashed fiercely, sending the six-tiered martial artist flying with a spurt of blood before crashing heavily dozens of meters away.

In the midst of the violent energy, Li Lin leaped out, wrapping the person in a yellow light in his hand, and directly reached the back of the courtyard.

Entering an unoccupied room at random, Li Lin used the devouring power from the Yin-Yang Spirit Martial Arts, quickly devouring the true qi from the person’s body. A six-tiered martial artist's true qi was now something Li Lin could consume. Then, a flash of spiritual fire incinerated the six-tiered martial artist's body to ashes.

After reappearing, Li Lin casually approached Dong WuMing, the Soul Poison Marshal, as the fierce battle had also come to an end. Several JiuHua Sect disciples escaped but were not far before being killed by Dong WuMing.

Now, the ground was littered with bodies. In the face of Flying Spirit Gate's momentum, the JiuHua Sect disciples, originally stronger, were all killed by Dong WuMing. With the momentum crushed, they collapsed instantly, only to be slaughtered.

The whole scene was now a massacre, with JiuHua Sect disciples having no courage to fight back. The Flying Spirit Gate disciples became more bloodthirsty without any mercy.

This scene, now gathered by many people at a distance, caused astonishment. The people of Flying Spirit Gate, as rumored, were indeed ruthlessly unmatched.

"Ah..."

Screams kept emanating until the last JiuHua Sect disciple was killed.

"Clean up, let none escape," Li Lin ordered.

The Flying Spirit Gate disciples immediately checked carefully, and all the valuables on the bodies were confiscated.

After confirming there was no survivor, Hu NanSheng handed several storage bags to Li Lin, asking, "Sect leader, how should we dispose of these bodies?"

Li Lin looked around, with over a hundred and thirty Flying Spirit Gate disciples killed, and several Flying Spirit Gate disciples had minor to severe injuries and deaths. His expression darkened, then he said, "Lay the bodies outside the town for three days, tell everyone, this is the fate of those who provoke Flying Spirit Gate."

"Yes, Sect Leader," Hu NanSheng complied.

"Old Dong, let's stay for two more days. By then, we should be able to catch up with Elder Zheng Ying and the others," Li Lin said to Dong WuMing.

"Your decision is good," Dong WuMing lightly said, with no objections. With the Heavenly Winged Snow Lion, they would be able to catch up with the Flying Spirit Gate members heading to JiuHua Sect.

Half an hour later, in a clean courtyard, Li Lin told Dong WuMing he was going into seclusion, then entered a room and began cultivating.

Hearing Li Lin was going into seclusion for two days, Dong WuMing couldn't help feeling relaxed; this kid was truly a cultivation maniac, entering seclusion every few days, no wonder his strength was increasing so rapidly.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Li Lin quickly began refining the true qi energy he had just devoured.

As the refining progressed, the massive true qi instantly turned into pure true qi flowing into Li Lin's body from his meridians.

In just a moment, Li Lin's aura began to rapidly climb, and the true qi in his dantian qi sea reached a full state.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

In terms of strength level, in the Ghost Martial Sect's Three Systems Five Harmonies Formation, using the three-system attribute energy of heaven and earth, Li Lin had already broken through to the peak of the five-tiered martial artist, and only by forcefully suppressing it did he not break through.

Now, refining this massive amount of true qi energy, just an hour later, Li Lin felt the signs of a breakthrough.

"Hu hu..."

A massive breath in Li Lin's body suddenly began to surge, in the dantian qi sea, the true qi under the infusion of external true qi was already expanding, and in the meridians, the true qi was expanding and stretching, bringing waves of pain.

This pain, however, made Li Lin indescribably happy. With hand seals changing and preparing for the breakthrough, his aura also became stronger and stronger.

"This aura, could it be this kid is about to break through again?"

Dong WuMing, also in the courtyard, watched Li Lin's room, shocked as if seeing a ghost. He could naturally sense Li Lin's current aura, right in the midst of a breakthrough, closing in for an hour and beginning to break through again. Even with Dong WuMing's strong mindset, he couldn't help but be astonished.

In the room, Li Lin was enveloped in a rich yellow light, his aura reaching an extreme state.

"Compress, break through."

Li Lin roared in his heart, the true qi in his meridians compressed and rushed into the dantian qi sea.

Inside the dantian qi sea, the true qi cloud surged, expanding and roaring, followed by a muffled sound...

"Bang..."

Instantly, a muffled sound came from within the dantian qi sea, the area inside immediately expanded, and Li Lin's aura rapidly climbed. An invisible energy from the heaven and earth converged directly, rushing into his body through the pores of his skin.

At this moment, Li Lin's aura broke through a barrier, surging like a torrent, the devoured true qi energy being refined at a speed several times faster due to the traction.

"This kid, a six-tiered martial artist now, right?" Dong WuMing watched in the direction of Li Lin's room, unable to help but exclaim.

"Master, what's wrong?" Li XinTong, seeing her master's puzzled expression, asked with wide eyes.

"Nothing, your brother is not human," Dong WuMing said.

"Master, if brother is not human, what is he?" Li XinTong's cunning gaze flashed, pressing for an answer.

"That kid is a monster," Dong WuMing said.

In the room, after Li Lin's breakthrough, the true qi energy in his body was not much consumed, continuing to refine, surrounded by a faint glow, while outside, a little dragon was guarding.

Time slowly passed, from the afternoon to the evening, these few hours saw Flying Spirit Gate's sudden destruction of JiuHua Sect disciples in Tuan Mountain Town, spreading the news throughout the town.

And now, outside the town, over a hundred JiuHua Sect disciples' bodies were hanging on stakes, making anyone passing by shudder and feel cold.

All affairs in Tuan Mountain Town were now being handled by Hu NanSheng, with many shopkeepers coming to him at night to inquire about Tuan Mountain Town's situation.

Hu NanSheng, following Li Lin's instructions, announced that the tribute collected by JiuHua Sect from Tuan Mountain Town for half a year need not be paid anymore. Moreover, shops that suffered significant damage could have some of their tribute waived, which delighted the shop owners of Tuan Mountain Town.

In Yan Qi's family shop, the place remained bustling into the night. The surrounding shop owners knew that Yan Qi had joined Flying Spirit Gate as a direct disciple and was rumored to become a spiritual practitioner. Now that Tuan Mountain Town had become Flying Spirit Gate's territory, they all came to curry favor, filling the small shop with gifts.

Many shop owners envied the shopkeeper couple for having such a good daughter, who would no longer need to pay tribute, saving a significant amount of gold coins in the future.

Yan Qi still somewhat couldn't believe her fortune; could she really become a high and mighty spiritual practitioner? But the strong members of Flying Spirit Gate wouldn't lie to her. Once she arrived at Flying Spirit Gate, she vowed to cultivate diligently.

The next day, Hu NanSheng continued to sort out the affairs of Tuan Mountain Town. Although the tasks seemed few, they were time-consuming. He was dizzy from the busyness but felt an unusual excitement inside. Joining Flying Spirit Gate was definitely a wise decision. To achieve glory and riches in the future, staying by the young sect leader's side was the way, and nothing would be a problem.

Time flowed like quicksand, rapidly passing during Li Lin's cultivation, and it was the morning of the third day. By then, Li Lin had been in seclusion for three nights and two days.

At dawn, the first light broke through, and a breeze brought a fresh, fragrant, and elegant earthy scent. It was the early spring season, quietly and unnoticed, the withered grass turned green, and branches began to sprout, revealing a thick sense of spring everywhere.

"Hu..."

Li Lin exhaled a breath of turbid air, his body's yellow glow completely retracted, and then he opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing by. His aura had reached the edge of the late stage of a six-tiered martial artist. Devouring a six-tiered martial artist and refining the essence, the true qi he obtained still could not break through to a seven-tiered martial artist.

Reaching this level, Li Lin was extremely satisfied, stretching lazily with a lazy smile on his lips.

"Bad, I'm running out of time." Li Lin's expression changed instantly, calculating the time, he should head to JiuHua Sect immediately, guessing Elder Zheng Ying and others were almost there.

"Old Dong, let's go." Bursting out of the room, Li Lin quickly called out, summoning the Heavenly Winged Snow Lion, while the little dragon proudly perched on Li Lin's shoulder.
