I. An Uninvited Guest
The Sword Immortal Sect, located deep within the most hidden mountains of the human race, was a land that time had seemingly forgotten. The atmosphere was suffused with spiritual energy, and the harmony of heaven and man allowed every cultivator to absorb endless energy from the surroundings. Lin Ye should have enjoyed a period of peaceful cultivation here, but beneath the surface tranquility, dark currents were stirring.
Just as he was immersing himself in his swordsmanship, his mind gradually growing calm, a sudden oppressive sensation shattered the surrounding stillness. The sky above the Sword Immortal Sect flickered with strange ripples, and the air seemed to compress under a powerful force. The spiritual energy around him also grew chaotic.
At that moment, a group of powerful figures appeared at the edges of the Sword Immortal Sect. The air instantly froze, and time seemed to stop. Lin Ye felt the oppressive force and immediately sensed something was wrong. His instincts told him that these newcomers were not friendly.
All of them wore black robes, their faces obscured, hidden completely under the hoods, and Lin Ye could only sense an unfathomable power emanating from them. The leader, with sharp eyes and an icy aura, seemed as though he could pierce through anything.
"Lin Ye," one of them spoke coldly, the voice sharp and chilling, "We come from the Void God Temple."
II. The Mysterious Force
The name "Void God Temple" was not unfamiliar to Lin Ye. While he had not delved deeply into understanding this force, he had heard rumors about them. The Void God Temple was known as an ancient and mysterious organization, one that controlled immense and unfathomable power. Its existence was almost legendary, and few dared to openly oppose it.
"What brings you here?" Lin Ye asked gravely, his expression serious.
The leader of the black-robed figures did not immediately answer but instead smiled faintly. "We are here to retrieve what is ours."
Lin Ye raised an eyebrow, sensing that these people were far from ordinary. It seemed their target was connected to him in some mysterious way.
"What exactly do you want?" Lin Ye pressed.
"The Reverse Scale bloodline," the leader of the black-robed figures spoke coldly. "The Reverse Scale bloodline within you is the very power source we need."
Lin Ye’s heart jolted. He had never expected that the Void God Temple would set their sights on his Reverse Scale bloodline. This bloodline was always shrouded in mystery and power, granting him extraordinary strength while concealing countless secrets. Lin Ye had never imagined that anyone would covet this power.
"You want my Reverse Scale bloodline?" Lin Ye’s mind raced with confusion, but his composure remained intact. He was no longer the young man trapped in the Tianyuan Sect; his strength was now enough to face any challenge.
The black-robed figure smiled coldly. "You don’t need to know much. Hand over the bloodline, and we will let you leave in peace. Otherwise…"
Before he could finish, he waved his hand, and the surrounding space suddenly trembled violently. An invisible pressure surged toward Lin Ye, as though the very heavens and earth of the Sword Immortal Sect were under their control.
III. Targeted Once Again
Lin Ye steadied himself, his eyes flashing with sharp light. The power of his Reverse Scale bloodline was unlike anything else, but he had never expected the Void God Temple to be so intensely interested in it. Clearly, this mysterious force was not merely after the power itself.
"The Void God Temple, I do not wish to be your enemy," Lin Ye spoke coldly. "If you truly want this power, you will first have to go through me."
As soon as the words left his mouth, his demonic power and sword intent surged outward simultaneously, causing violent tremors in the air. Golden sword energy and demonic power intermingled, creating an aura that was like thunder and storm.
The black-robed figures remained unfazed, their eyes revealing a hint of mockery. "You may choose to resist, but the outcome will be the same. The bloodline’s power will be ours."
Just as the atmosphere grew more tense, Xue Yao arrived hurriedly, accompanied by several Sword Immortal Sect elders. Her face was grave, clearly aware of the severity of the situation.
"Lin Ye, the Void God Temple is not a force you can easily oppose," Xue Yao said in a low voice. "They are not just after the bloodline, there is something far deeper at play here."
[Chapter End]
The appearance of the Void God Temple has shattered the peaceful existence within the Sword Immortal Sect. Lin Ye now faces immense pressure from this mysterious force. He must decide how to respond to their overwhelming power. What does the Void God Temple truly want with the Reverse Scale bloodline? Will the Sword Immortal Sect be able to help him through this crisis?
