Chapter 2440: Chapter 2439: The Four Great Heavenly Realms!
In the depths of the Qin Residence, the night was as dark as ink, the stars concealed, and a heavy oppressive atmosphere enveloped this ancient mansion.
Moonlight struggled to penetrate the thick clouds, barely able to outline the majestic buildings, as if even heaven and earth were holding their breath for the impending storm.
In the midst of this tranquility, the Qin family’s council hall was brightly lit, the atmosphere tense and grave.
Inside the hall, four imposing figures stood or sat, each exuding immense momentum. They were the rare Heavenly Realm Martial Artists of the current era—Qin Family Patriarch Qin Zong, Ancestor of the Xiao Family Xiao Mubai, Zijin Knight Jin from the Grim Reaper Knight Organization, and Tang Ku from the Hidden Tang Sect.
Qin Zong, dressed in a simple robe, his eyes deep like an abyss, seeming to perceive all things in the world. He sat at the main seat, gently tapping the armrest, each tap seemed to presage some indescribable decision.
Xiao Mubai, in a green robe, elegant and refined, appeared younger compared to Qin Zong, yet the majesty and depth revealed in his brow were no less. He stood aside, occasionally glancing out the window, as if waiting for something.
Zijin Knight Jin was also an assassin in the Grim Reaper Knight Organization, and a Purple-Gold Knight among the Gold-level Knights!
So-called Purple-Gold Knight, their strength reaches the Triple Heaven. They are a level above ordinary Gold-level Knights.
Previously, ’Lord Jin’ as mentioned by Hai Yuan and Lie Yan, referred to him.
At this moment, he wore armor made of a special metal, covered in a faint purple sheen, appearing even more mysterious under the lights. He stood silently in the shadows, the long sword in his hand still sheathed, yet its terrifying force could already be felt.
As for Tang Ku, he was the weakest among the four.
The other three were Triple-Heaven Martial Artists, but he was a Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.
He wore a tight-fitting black outfit, with a stern face and eyes shining with wisdom and cunning.
As a martial artist of the Hidden Tang Sect, he not only mastered hidden weapons and poison, but also had an extraordinary strategic mind.
These four Heavenly Realm powerhouses, usually respecting their own dominance, had gathered at this moment for a common goal.
That goal naturally was Lin Dong.
"Everyone, Lin Dong must be eliminated quickly." Qin Zong slowly spoke, breaking the silence in the hall, "His potential is too great, akin to a mythical figure of ten thousand years. Furthermore, he has antagonized multiple powerful forces, if allowed to develop further, he will become a significant threat."
"Elder Qin’s words are absolutely correct." Xiao Mubai nodded in agreement, "Moreover, he is the son of Lin Zhantian."
"Lin Zhantian’s son? Then his bloodline must be worth researching!" Tang Ku’s eyes gleamed with greed.
The eyes hidden beneath the armor of Zijin Knight Jin also slightly brightened.
"After killing him, how do we distribute the benefits from his body? His bloodline, his cultivation techniques, and those treasures on him, they are all very tempting." Zijin Knight Jin spoke.
As the topic deepened, the greed in the hearts of the four Heavenly Realm martial artists in the brightly lit council hall grew stronger.
They had gathered not just because of the threat Lin Dong posed, but also because of the alluring secrets he carried.
"Lin Dong, as Lin Zhantian’s son, his unique bloodline must be clear to everyone. If you can fuse his bloodline, perhaps everyone here could also become a thousand-year myth." Qin Zong’s voice was deep and powerful, his eyes flickering with a desire for unknown power.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mubai’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and he continued the topic: "Indeed, Lin Zhantian once stirred up chaos single-handedly, his bloodline power is extraordinary. If our Xiao Family can harness this power, we can definitely advance further in the Martial Arts World."
Despite his lack of interest in the power of bloodlines, Zijin Knight Jin was extremely concerned about Lin Dong’s cultivation techniques: "The rapid advancement of Lin Dong’s cultivation level is astonishing. The cultivation techniques he practices must be unique. If I can obtain them, my strength will surely climb another level."
Tang Ku, on the other hand, smiled slightly, knowing the thoughts of these powerhouses, but did not rush to reveal his own purpose: "Everyone is absolutely right, the secrets on Lin Dong’s body are indeed numerous. However, what the Tang Sect is more interested in is his extraordinary battle wisdom and adaptability. If we can fully analyze these, it will be a priceless treasure in cultivating my Tang Sect disciples."
The four harbored ulterior motives, yet tacitly refrained from exposing each other’s true intentions.
They knew that in this world where the strong are revered, only interests form the most solid bond.
And Lin Dong was their common target, a prey bearing numerous secrets and value.
"Since the goal is united, we should cooperate more closely." Qin Zong stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone, "Whether bloodline, cultivation techniques, or battle wisdom, everything of Lin Dong will belong to us. But before that, we must ensure the plan is foolproof."
"Rest assured Elder Qin, I have already made arrangements." Zijin Knight Jin said confidently, "I’ve set a trap at the place Lin Dong must pass through on this journey, even if he somehow gets out and comes here, I fear that his Tao Heart will collapse, leaving him scarred."
"In such a state, the four of us Heavenly Realm Martial Artists would find it simple to disguise ourselves and take him down!"
The other three nodded one after another.
Clearly, they were well aware of Hai Yuan and Lie Yan’s mission to surround and kill Lin Dong.
This was all part of their plan.
This is the martial artist of the Sky Realm, even if their apparent strength seems to crush you. But they will not be careless, nor will they be arrogant.
Instead, they will use the most thorough strategy to slaughter you!
Even a lion fighting a rabbit, there is still room for maneuver. But they will not leave any room for their enemies.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Inside the Space-Time Prison, Lin Dong was still trapped.
At this moment, anxiety began to brew within him.
"In this Space-Time Prison, over two hours have already passed. In the outer world, it’s almost two and a half days!"
"The time left for me is not much!"
Currently, Hai Yuan and Lie Yan have not launched an attack on Lin Dong within the domain because the ’Sword of Time’ is ineffective against him.
The two of them merely planned to trap Lin Dong in this ’Time Prison’, holding him within this timeframe.
This way, their goal would be accomplished.
"Perhaps, I can use the Infinite Force to try perceiving the space-time law here!" Lin Dong, at this moment, simply closed his eyes and concentrated.
Mobilizing the Infinite Force within, he began a subtle interaction with the surrounding spatial elements.
He attempted to perceive and understand the space-time law imprisoning him through Wuji.
The Infinite Force seemed to become his antenna, exploring every corner of the "Space-Time Prison", looking for that faint flaw.
As time ticked away, Lin Dong’s mental state became increasingly calm, his mind seemed to transcend the bondage of time and merge with the heavens and earth.
Gradually, he felt an unprecedented clarity—turns out, the "Space-Time Prison" was not invulnerable, its core lay in the perfect combination of time and space, but precisely because of this ultimate fusion, the most vulnerable link was also nurtured.
"Found it! I finally found a way to break this Space-Time Prison!" Lin Dong suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp.
