Chapter 1003 Hooking Up and Turning Traitor?

Chapter 1003 Hooking Up and Turning Traitor?

"Rushing into our arms? I think otherwise. The fact that he can survive our pursuit until now means that he isn’t any ordinary person."

As if oblivious to Zhang Zheng's murderous aura, Xue Qianhen mused, ''There are no fools among those who have attained the supreme path. Regardless of his purpose, since he has come to us, we cannot afford to be careless."

Most of the people present secretly nodded in approval at these words.

Nearly seven days had passed since the pursuit first began in Jade Flame City.

Over these seven days, almost all of the many factions in the Ancient Blue Province were mobilized to obstruct and capture Demon God Lin.

However, he was still alive and well until now.

On the other hand, the Heaven Axis Holy Land side had lost quite a number of disciples. Moreover, even an apex-level half-step King expert, Wen Xingzhou, had been defeated.

Under these circumstances, anyone with a working brain would not dare to underestimate Demon God Lin!

"Why? Does Senior Brother Xue think he’s here to kill us?" Zhang Zheng snorted, "This is our territory. No matter how strong he is, how can a lone wolf like him take on all of us?"

He paused and licked his lips before he continued, "If you guys are afraid, feel free to leave him to me. As a fellow supreme heaven pride, I know full well how to tackle such prey!"

"I'm only trying to remind everyone to be careful." Xue Qianhen coldly said, "You should understand the reasoning behind being careful, right? "

Zhang Zheng proudly said, "The strong should have the mentality of being invincible. No matter what demons and monsters come, I will cut them all down with my sword. That's all I need to understand!"

Xue Qianhen indifferently retorted, "Stop with your nonsense. If a King stage old monster came, would you still be able to cut him down with your sword?"

"Senior Brother Xue, now you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. If a King stage old monster does appear, I will naturally avoid him and sharpen my fangs and claws. This is called judging the situation and avoiding disaster!" Zhang Zheng didn’t back down and stared back with clear eyes.

Upon seeing that Xue Qianhen and Zhang Zheng were about to argue, Yu Baobao hurriedly tried to mediate, "Alright, alright. We’re all here to deal with Demon God Lin, there’s no need to get so heated up and hurt our relationship, right?"

"He has entered the city!"

Icy light erupted from Xue Qianhen's eyes. The Yin Yang Spirit Locking Mirror had detected Lin Xun's presence entering North Light City.

"Senior brothers, it’s time to hunt the target that has voluntarily arrived at our doorstep. We..." Xue Qianhen was about to give out orders with a serious look.

However, without waiting for him to finish, Zhang Zheng chuckled in a carefree manner as his figure abruptly transformed into a flash of blue and rushed out of the hall. ''I will be going first. You guys can take your time to discuss strategies!"

Xue Qianhen's expression immediately darkened as a terrifying aura spread from him, causing the atmosphere to become suffocating.

He was clearly enraged by Zhang Zheng's willfulness.

Yu Baobao gently said, "Senior Brother Xue, there's no harm in letting him go. You should also be aware of how unhappy he was that Li Zhannan and Ling Hongjin had managed to beat him to the punch."

"Since he's in a hurry to die, let him do what he wants!" Xue Qianhen's voice was ice-cold.

……

A grand, ancient building came into view in the distance.

After arriving, Ling Hongjin's stunningly beautiful face turned a little cloudy and uncertain, appearing conflicted and hesitant.

The Heaven Axis Holy Land forces responsible for dealing with Demon God Lin were currently stationed at the ancient building in the distance.

However, Ling Hongjin didn't know how to explain what had happened.

Their mission could be evaluated as a catastrophic failure which was exceedingly humiliating since Li Zhannan and the other Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples had been completely wiped out.

Moreover, she had been thoroughly shamed by the enemy.

This made it even more difficult for Ling Hongjin to explain.

She, a mighty Heaven Axis Holy Land core disciple and one of the peerless lady experts of the younger generation, had returned in utter defeat and was making a report and asking for assistance with the identity of a loser...

How could the proud Ling Hongjin possibly make such admissions?

The streets were bustling with pedestrians flowing like running water. It was extremely lively.

Many passersby could only feel amazement and curiosity at the sight of Ling Hongjin standing there.

A beautiful woman like her would attract the attention of countless people no matter where she went.

Swish!

A blue flash suddenly appeared in the sky and proudly stood in the air. He radiated dazzling divine light, causing the weather to stir.

His presence was extremely strong and made him resemble a peerless sheathed sword. The fierce and unrivaled pressure caused a sudden flurry on the streets as it fell into a momentary chaos.

"Junior Brother Zhang Zheng? What are you doing?" Ling Hongjin's mind cleared as she looked at the proud figure in surprise.

"Senior Sister Ling? Hehe, it seems that you’ve indeed failed in your task."

Zhang Zheng laughed loudly as his disheveled, long hair fluttered. Arcs of purple electricity pulsed with each blink, giving off a sharp and intimidating pressure.

"How did you know?" Ling Hongjin was shaken, and her expression abruptly changed, thinking that the humiliation she suffered had somehow been leaked.

"Demon God Lin has already entered the city. That’s something no one can hide."

Zhang Zheng grinned. ''Senior Sister Ling, I know you’re unhappy about your failure, but it’s okay. I will personally put Demon God Lin to death later to help you regain your dignity!"

Demon God Lin has entered the city?

Ling Hongjin couldn't believe her ears.

Just as she was about to ask for further explanation, Zhang Zheng suddenly howled, ''Demon God Lin, since you’re here, come out and fight. I, Zhang Zheng, will personally send you off!"

His voice rumbled like thunder, scattering the clouds as it resounded across the skies above North Light City.

"What?"

“Demon God Lin!"

"My god...that demon has snuck into the city!"

Uproars erupted on the streets, causing them to descend into chaos. The originally bustling streets quickly became cold and empty.

Crash~

Meanwhile, Zhang Zheng's spirit power spread out in all directions like a tidal wave.

He wasn't worried about Lin Xun escaping because there was no way he could evade Zhang Zheng’s eyes!

"How could this happen..." Ling Hongjin was in a daze.

She suddenly sensed someone approaching. Before she could react, a large hand firmly pressed down on her shoulder.

Ling Hongjin stiffened and immediately moved to counterattack. When she saw the owner of the hand, however, she looked as if she had seen a ghost, causing her face to turn deathly pale as she screamed.

She never imagined that she would see that shameless evil demon here.

He was dressed in moon-white clothes and gave off an untouchable, ethereal aura. It was Lin Xun, who had followed her all the way here.

He stood beside Ling Hongjin with one hand resting on her shoulder, making them appear rather intimate.

However, only Ling Hongjin was aware of the terrifying force emanating from his hand. It instantly sealed her strength, making it impossible to struggle!

Meanwhile, Zhang Zheng also saw this from the sky. His lightning-like gaze looked down from above and instantly locked onto the figure.

"It's indeed you. You've got guts! Looks like I’ve not come out in vain." Zhang Zheng had a natural look of disdain as fiery battle intent surged from him.

Lin Xun smiled and whispered in Ling Hongjin's ear, "I was kind enough to let you go, but you lied to me. This makes me very angry."

Due to their close proximity, his hot breath drilled straight into her ears, causing them to redden.

However, the iciness of his words made her body stiffen and turn cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She knew far too well just how terrifying he was. Even the likes of Li Zhannan was killed in three punches. Lin Xun’s combat power was most certainly unreasonable even among those who had attained the supreme path.

Moreover, he was fearless and had an unscrupulous nature. He would resort to even the most despicable tricks in order to achieve his goals.

Now, suddenly finding herself at the mercy of the other party again made her feel as if she was on the verge of despairing.

"You guys..." In the air, Zhang Zheng was stunned and somewhat bewildered. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Lin Xun and Ling Hongjin were being a little too intimate.

"Miss Ling, thank you for leading me here. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have known that there are so many bastards here itching to kill me."

"What!? Senior Sister Ling, you..."

Zhang Zheng’s pupils shrank. ''No wonder Demon God Lin found his way to North Light City. It...turns out that you’ve hooked up with him!"

It was such shocking news that he found it hard to digest for a time.

Ling Hongjin, who was already internally dying of shame and indignation, turned ashen as she screeched, "Don’t listen to his nonsense, I..."

Before she could finish, Lin Xun covered her lips and said, ''Why do we need to explain our affairs to others? Even Chu Beihai can’t lord over us if he comes. Moreover, I've been helping you keep your secret, do you really want others to find out?"

Ling Hongjin’s eyes widened in anger as she trembled uncontrollably. This demon was obviously trying to sow discord!

"Senior Sister Ling, is that true? Chu Beihai is your fiancé, how can you do that to him?"

In the sky, Zhang Zheng's face had become frighteningly cold. He was furious to the point of insanity and never imagined that Ling Hongjin, a core disciple of Heaven Axis Holy Land, would betray the sect and hook up with the enemy. She was simply the shame of the sect!

If news of this spread, Heaven Axis Holy Land would lose its dignity!

Ling Hongjin was about to go crazy from anger. How could she have anticipated that something like this would happen?

To make things worse, she was being restrained by Lin Xun and couldn't even make a sound, let alone explain herself.

"Lin Xun, you’re a demon among demons!" She inwardly cried out. She would not hesitate to rip him to pieces if there was a chance.

"It is him!" A silver flash suddenly rushed into the sky and transformed into Xue Qianhen.

"Senior Sister Ling, you..." Yu Baobao also arrived. She gracefully walked through the air, giving off a natural air of seduction.

Soon, Nangong Huo, Nangong Shui, Gu Yunting, and the other true disciples also appeared.

They surrounded the area like black clouds covering the sky, giving off an oppressive pressure that made it difficult to breathe.

An austere atmosphere rapidly filled the empty streets nearby.

Xue Qianhen, Yu Baobao and the rest were also stunned at the sight of Ling Hongjin standing so close to Lin Xun.

After hearing Zhang Zheng's explanation, their gazes displayed various emotions when they looked at Ling Hongjin...
