The four men of the Blood Fiend Sect were formidable, and such cultivation would be invincible unless a sect or holy land intervened.
At this moment, Lin Hao and the woman were blocked by the four men, and with their current speed, escaping from the four Blood Fiend Sect experts was like a dream for a fool.
Lin Hao had not expected them to catch up so quickly, and his head was as big as a melon. If he didn't think of a countermeasure, neither he nor the woman would survive today.
"Ye Xin, today I will see where you can run to," the burly man leered at the woman, his lips curling slightly.
Hearing this, the woman frowned. Since she was severely injured by the Spatial Descent, she had been fleeing for several days, but she never thought that she would still be caught by these four men.
At this moment, Lin Hao's expression gradually relaxed. He glanced at the four men and sneered, "You four dogs, daring to ruin my good deed."
Lin Hao's sudden words made Ye Xin and the four men of the Blood Fiend Sect look at him.
The burly man's face was expressionless, and in the darkness, he looked even more ominous.
"A bunch of fools, I have just been reborn, and I encounter you. Truly unlucky." As he spoke, Lin Hao's soul transformed into a monstrous beast, enveloping the four men.
"This boy's soul is indeed strange..." The burly man waved his hand, pushing Lin Hao's soul back.
He examined Lin Hao, who seemed to have only opened the second Earth Gate, but his soul strength had already reached the Heavenly Spirit level, which was inexplicable.
Earlier, the burly man and the others thought that Ye Xin had found a Heavenly Spirit expert to help her, but now they realized that the so-called Heavenly Spirit expert was just a boy who had only opened the second Earth Gate.
As everyone knew, at the second Earth Gate, the soul was not yet formed. How did this boy manage to do it?
"Tiny ant, daring to call yourself 'Lord,' you have great courage!" one of the black-robed elders said coldly.
The others also found it amusing. Was this boy scared out of his wits, calling himself 'Lord' in front of them?
Hearing this, Lin Hao's lips curled, and his eyes showed a hint of evil. He said sarcastically, "How times have changed. You slaves can't even recognize your own master."
"Playing tricks, kill him," the burly man said coldly.
"I have the 'Heavenly Fiend Mark' from the headquarters. I see who dares to act rashly!" Lin Hao shouted urgently.
Heavenly Fiend Mark?!
Upon hearing this, the burly man was momentarily stunned and quickly waved his hand. "Hold your hands!"
"Boss, what's wrong?" the black-robed elder was puzzled. Why did the burly man's expression change so drastically upon hearing 'Heavenly Fiend Mark'?
"Boy, who are you, and how do you know the highest secret of our Heavenly Fiend headquarters, the 'Heavenly Fiend Mark'!" the burly man shouted angrily.
The 'Heavenly Fiend Mark' generally only appeared on the core members of the headquarters. Each core member's soul would be imprinted with the Heavenly Fiend aura. Once the physical body was killed, the Heavenly Fiend Mark would haunt the killer for life, and the headquarters would issue the 'Heavenly Fiend Pursuit Order.' No matter where you fled, you could not escape the shadow of the 'Heavenly Fiend Pursuit Order.'
And now, a young boy claimed to have the 'Heavenly Fiend Mark' in his body!
"Several decades ago, I was killed by a disciple of Gu Changfeng. Fortunately, the sect leader's power preserved my soul, allowing me to be reborn." Lin Hao's eyes were filled with沧桑, like an old man who had experienced countless hardships.
This kind of沧桑 expression was absolutely not something a child of thirteen or fourteen could have.
"Are you talking about the Nine Heavens Emperor Gu Changfeng?!" the black-robed elder was startled.
The Nine Heavens Emperor opened the ninth Heavenly Gate, standing at the pinnacle of the domain, one of the nine emperors. Each of his disciples was a supreme expert in the world!
"That's right, that old ghost," Lin Hao nodded.
"Which of his disciples killed you?" the burly man asked deliberately.
"Zui Tianjun," Lin Hao's face was full of hatred, his teeth clenched.
Upon hearing this, the burly man and the others were secretly alarmed. It was Zui Tianjun who had killed many branch sect leaders and elders of the Blood Fiend Sect. This matter was not public and was one of the highest secrets of the Blood Fiend Sect, yet this boy could say it so easily...
"You... who are you!" the burly man was terrified. Calling himself 'Lord,' with the strength of the second Earth Gate but the soul strength of a Heavenly Spirit, and knowing the Blood Fiend Sect's 'Blood Fiend Mark' and Zui Tianjun's two highest secrets, who was this boy?
"Yao Ming," Lin Hao said coldly.
Yao Ming!
The burly man and the other three drew a sharp breath. Yao Ming was listed in the headquarters of the Blood Fiend Sect, known as 'Yao Ming Tianjun,' one of the ten guardian Tianjuns!
This young boy in front of them claimed to be the 'Yao Ming Tianjun' who had died several decades ago!
"Are you 'Yao Ming Tianjun'! This is impossible! How can you prove it!" the burly man's pupils contracted, asking immediately.
"I don't want to waste words with you slaves. If you don't believe me, try the Spatial Descent and summon the soul of your sect leader. I think he should recognize me," Lin Hao said nonchalantly.
"This..."
The burly man and the others were helpless. The Spatial Descent required special talismans, and they had already used them all against Ye Xin, unable to perform it again.
The burly man did not fully believe Lin Hao's words. Although he could reveal some secrets of the Blood Fiend Sect, it did not prove he was 'Yao Ming Tianjun.'
"If what you say is true, and you are a Tianjun, why did you kill the forces of the Demon Palace?" an elder asked suspiciously.
"What, I killed some annoying lackeys, do you have any objections?" Lin Hao did not bother to explain.
Regardless of whether they fully believed his identity, they would at least be cautious and dare not act against him. As long as this was achieved, Lin Hao's goal was met.
"In that case, please come with us to meet the senior leadership of the headquarters. Another Tianjun has also arrived in the Yellow Wasteland Continent," the burly man said after a moment's thought.
"Oh, which Tianjun has come? Take me to him quickly," Lin Hao pulled Ye Xin's hand.
"Are you really going, Tianjun?" the burly man naturally saw Lin Hao's expression. He thought this young boy would show some signs of hesitation when he heard about meeting another Tianjun, but there were none, and he even looked delighted.
"Of course, I will go," Lin Hao said impatiently.
In fact, the burly man had just said this to intimidate Lin Hao. The Tianjuns of the headquarters were far away overseas and could not possibly come to the Yellow Wasteland Continent.
"Oh... I just remembered, the other Tianjun has already left the Yellow Wasteland Continent. If you are really 'Yao Ming Tianjun,' please come with us to the headquarters. I believe the master will be very happy to see 'Yao Ming Tianjun' return," the burly man changed the subject.
"Ignorant brats, I have the master's order to stay in the Yellow Wasteland Continent with a mission. Leave quickly and don't waste my time," Lin Hao showed an impatient expression.
"Wait..." Seeing Lin Hao and Ye Xin about to leave, the burly man immediately stopped them. "You can leave, but this woman cannot!"
The burly man's tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
He did not fully believe this young boy was the so-called 'Yao Ming Tianjun,' but he still had some concerns and did not dare to act. However, this woman was different.
Hearing this, Lin Hao nodded and released Ye Xin's hand. He sneered, "Fine, you slaves, taking advantage of my current low cultivation, daring to snatch my woman. Very well, I will give her to you today, but wait until later..."
As he spoke, a terrifying cold light flashed in Lin Hao's eyes. He left Ye Xin and turned to go.
Seeing this, the burly man and the others were stunned. The naked killing intent in Lin Hao's eyes was not a joke.
"Boss, we cannot let him leave... If he is really a Tianjun or has a connection with the headquarters overseas, we will all be in trouble!" one of the men said.
"Right, if we don't act now, we will regret it. Kill both of them. He claims to be a Tianjun, but he has no solid evidence. Knowing some secrets is not enough to make us believe him..."
"Right, kill that boy, and after we enjoy this woman, we will get rid of her too!"
At this moment, the men behind the burly man spoke.
The burly man thought for a long time and finally shook his head. "I'm afraid of the worst. If he really has the Blood Fiend Mark, none of us will survive. Even if we flee to the ends of the earth, we cannot escape the 'Blood Fiend Pursuit Order.' Zui Tianjun was forced to destroy his physical body by the 'Blood Fiend Pursuit Order'..."
The burly man was not foolish. Although he did not fully believe Lin Hao, his concerns could not be dispelled. Moreover, the boy knew about Zui Tianjun and the 'Heavenly Fiend Mark,' and the name 'Yao Ming Tianjun.' If he was really Yao Ming Tianjun, they would have offended him thoroughly, and what would happen in the future?
They could not kill him. If he had the Blood Fiend Mark, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, the terrifying killing intent in Lin Hao's eyes made the burly man feel a chill.
"I have an idea. Why don't we break his limbs and throw him to the beast? This way, even if he has the Blood Fiend Mark, we won't be the ones who killed him!" the black-robed elder thought he had a good idea.
Even if he was Yao Ming Tianjun, his current cultivation was almost zero. Killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.
"No..." the burly man sighed and shook his head. "His soul is already formed. If we destroy his physical body, his soul will still exist and can use it to implant the Blood Fiend Mark into our bodies. At that time..."
"Then there's no way out?" the three men were stunned.
Indeed, there was no way out. This was a dead end. They had two choices: one, let the woman go and avoid offending this uncertain Tianjun.
The second, kill the woman and offend the boy, but if he was really Yao Ming Tianjun, they would have no life in the future...
"Damn! This is ridiculous!" the burly man was furious. He had never felt so frustrated, being intimidated by a boy of unknown origin, and yet he dared not offend him due to his concerns!
