126 The Mad Taoist’s Invitation

Dari Demonic Sect, Heavenly Demon Palace.

At this moment, Lin Wudao was sitting cross-legged on the futon at the head of the hall. His expression was like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest fluctuation.

[Ding!]

Suddenly, two cold system notifications rang in his mind.

[Congratulations, host. Your subordinates have destroyed the Tianxin Sword Sect. Fate Energy value +4000000.]

[Congratulations, host. You have successfully controlled two of the three giants in Jiuzhou and become the number one force on the surface. Fate Energy value +5000000.]

…

[Name: Lin Wudao]

[Identity: The City of Sin’s City Lord]

[Cultivation: Final stage of the Mahayana realm]

[Fate Energy value: 10,584,000]

Hmm?

The sudden notification woke Lin Wudao up from his cultivation.

When he saw the specific information displayed on the system interface, he could not help but frown.

“Why isn’t there any notification about the Xuantian Sect?”

He looked puzzled.

Logically speaking, with the current strength of Li Xuanshan and the others, since they had destroyed the Tianxin Sword Sect, it should be easy for them to suppress the Xuantian Sect.

However, only the Tianxin Sword Sect had been destroyed now, while a word about the Xuantian Sect was nowhere to be seen.

Could it be that an accident had happened?

A thought arose in Lin Wudao’s heart.

“Master, Li Xuanshan is back.”

At this moment, Li Zangtian came up to him and reported respectfully.

“Let him in.”

“Yes.”

Very quickly, Li Zangtian led the panic-stricken Li Xuanshan into the Heavenly Demon Palace.

“Greetings, City Lord!”

His old body kowtowed heavily on the ground and trembled non-stop.

“Why did you only destroy the Tianxin Sword Sect? What about the Xuantian Sect?” Lin Wudao asked frankly.

What? The City Lord already knew about it?

Li Xuanshan raised his head in shock, his face filled with fear.

“City Lord, this time, the Xuantian Sect… There was an accident at the Xuantian Sect. According to your instructions, we went to the Xuantian Sect and planned to destroy it in one fell swoop. However, the Xuantian Sect had an Innate Sky realm powerhouse guarding it, and we thus returned empty-handed. When we received the news again, we discovered that all the members of the Xuantian Sect had abandoned the sect and fled with the resources,” He replied, trembling.

After saying that, he prostrated on the ground, trembling non-stop as if he was waiting for Lin Wudao’s judgment.

The Xuantian Sect had an Innate Sky realm powerhouse? Everyone fled?

Hearing this, Lin Wudao narrowed his eyes.

“Are you sure it’s the Innate Sky realm?”

“Yes… I’m sure.”

“Do you know who the other party is and where he came from?”

“This… I am not sure either.”

Li Xuanshan shook his head, trembling. He recounted the scene of his encounter with Li Chengfeng in detail.

Lin Wudao frowned even more after hearing that.

“City Lord, it seems that the Innate Sky realm cultivator doesn’t want to make things difficult for Li Xuanshan. Perhaps he’s really just a guest of the Xuantian Sect and has no relationship with the Xuantian Sect,” At this moment, Yin Siming pondered and said.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded in agreement.

“Yes. If an Innate Sky realm cultivator really wants to stand up for the Xuantian Sect, even if you’re at the Grotto-Heaven realm, you won’t be able to come back alive. All of you would have been killed by him on the spot.”

His expression was a little gloomy.

Letting Xuantian Sect escape had cost him tens of millions of Fate Energy value.

This loss was a little big.

“City Lord, should we send people to search Jiuzhou? The Xuantian Sect has so many members. Since they fled all at once, we should be able to ultimately find some clues.”

“No need. I have my plans on this matter. Li Xuanshan, your next task is to take stock of the forces of the Dari Demonic Sect, the Xuantian Sect, and the Tianxin Sword Sect, as well as all their resources. We must bring them under the control of the City of Sin in the shortest time possible. If they resist, kill them all. If this matter is not handled well, there is no need for me to say more about the consequences.”

His cold and emotionless voice was heard.

“Don’t worry, City Lord. I swear to not disappoint you and guarantee that I will complete the mission,” Li Xuanshan said firmly.

“Alright. What follows will depend on your performance.”

Lin Wudao waved his hand.

Li Xuanshan handed over all the resources of the Tianxin Sword Sect and left the Heavenly Demon Palace in fear.

…

After he left, Lin Wudao sent everyone else in the palace away.

Then, he took out a piece of God-summoning Paper.

[May I ask who the Innate Sky realm cultivator in the Xuantian Sect is?]

Whoosh!

A burst of resplendent light bloomed.

A moment later, more words appeared on the God-summoning Paper.

[Heishui Ancient City, Ninth Young Master Li Chengfeng.]

Hmm? Heishui Ancient City?

Lin Wudao narrowed his eyes when he saw the name.

He knew that there were many hidden factions in Jiuzhou. The Heishui Ancient City was also one of them. It had an ancient inheritance of nearly 5,000 years.

Regardless of whether it was their foundation or strength, they were incomparably strong.

“Ninth Young Master Li Chengfeng… If there is a chance, I’d like to meet you. You made me lose nearly ten million Fate Energy value. I have to pay you back no matter what.”

Lin Wudao’s eyes were cold.

Li Chengfeng had ruined his plans. If the other party couldn’t make up for it, he would use his life to pay for it.

Thinking of this, Lin Wudao collected his emotions and opened the Book of All Beings, wanting to see if there were any living beings in need of help.

Unfortunately, it was blank.

“Buzz!”

Just as he was feeling disappointed, there was a sudden tremor in the system space.

Whoosh!

With a thought, a mysterious invitation letter appeared in his hand.

An invitation letter from the Mad Daoist?

Lin Wudao’s eyes lit up.

He remembered that the Mad Daoist had said that he would take him to a mysterious place to collect the corpses of powerhouses. Could it be that the matter had been settled?

As he thought about it, he immediately opened the invitation letter.

Whoosh!

A burst of green light bloomed and finally condensed into a line of small words.

[Brother Ren, I’m going to the Heishui Ancient City soon. Are you interested in doing something big together? At that time, I guarantee that you will be able to get a large number of powerhouse corpses.]

[The weakest will at least be in the Innate Sky realm.]

[Agree/Decline?]

…

Do something big in the Heishui Ancient City?

Lin Wudao was surprised to see the information on the invitation.

“What a coincidence.”

As he spoke, he immediately ticked the “agree” option.

[That’s great, Brother Ren! We can work together again this time.]

[Wait for me at the Heishui Ancient City. I have to prepare some things here. When everything is ready, I’ll contact you.]

[By the way, this big job might be a little dangerous. You’d better make some preparations. At the very least, you have to not be afraid of the threat of a Heavenly Cycle realm cultivator.]

Hmm? What was he planning?

Lin Wudao was even more surprised.

Looking at the Mad Daoist’s cautious warning, he felt that this job they were about to pull off was probably not a small one.

“Don’t tell me he’s going to dig up the ancestral graves of the Heishui Ancient City?” He laughed and shook his head.

He threw this unrealistic thought to the back of his mind.

Although the Mad Daoist was crazy, he did not have the ability or strength to do so.

However, Lin Wudao felt that it was necessary to make some preparations given the Mad Daoist’s reminder.

As such, he immediately sacrificed all the resources of the Tianxin Sword Sect.

[Congratulations, you have sacrificed all the resources of the Tianxin Sword Sect and obtained 5000000 Fate Energy value.]

[Name: Lin Wudao]

[Fate Energy value: 15,584,000]

…

“System, how much Fate Energy value do I need to raise Li Zangtian’s cultivation to the Heavenly Cycle realm?”

[4 million.]

“Level up, then.”

A mere four million was nothing to the currently wealthy Lin Wudao.

His cultivation was progressing slowly, so he could only rely on Li Zangtian’s help for the time being.

After doing all this, Lin Wudao pondered for a while. To consolidate the power of the City of Sin, he used another 7.7 million Fate Energy value to raise the cultivation of the remaining 11 mourners to the Mahayana realm.

After finishing all of this, Lin Wudao glanced at the remaining Fate Energy value. Then, he consumed 4,000,000 and condensed another innate Dao pattern. The range of his divine sense reached 10,000 miles.

“Next, I can go to the Heishui Ancient City without worry after I consolidate the forces of the Dari Demonic Sect, the Xuantian Sect, and the Tianxin Sword Sect…”

After he finished planning out everything, he continued to cultivate.
