[Steady Advancement]
Within the valley, a gentle breeze flowed, and spiritual energy was dense. Lin Ye sat cross-legged, behind him faintly emerging a strange illusion—an intertwining shadow of a dragon and a demon fox.
After several days in seclusion, he had fully integrated the fox tribe’s secret technique with the beastkin inheritance. The circulation of his demonic power became even smoother, and his aura grew deeper and more stable.
With a single claw strike, the air suddenly twisted, and a giant tree was silently sliced and fell.
Lin Ye slowly withdrew his claw, letting out a long breath of turbid air.
“Demonic power control is more precise now, and the suppressive force of the reverse-scale bloodline is strengthening…” he muttered, a confident gleam flashing in his eyes.
System notification: Host’s cultivation has stabilized at ‘Late-stage Demon General’. Comprehensive combat rating increased!
Although he had yet to break through to the Demon King realm, his combat capability was already enough to face an average Qi Sea realm expert head-on. No longer was he that weakling who had to rely solely on ambushes or surprise skills.
[Resolve for Revenge]
As night fell, Lin Ye stood on the highest stone platform in the valley, gazing into the distance at the vague outline of a mountain range.
“Tianyuan Sect…” He clenched his fists, blood seeping from his palm, yet he remained unaware.
Elder Wang walked up beside him, his tone steady yet filled with worry: “Ye’er, I know you carry an obsession in your heart, but that is a sect-level power. If you act rashly…”
“I won’t be reckless.” Lin Ye turned his head, eyes resolute. “But I will never forget my enemies. If I don’t strike back, I’ll never find peace.”
Ling Shuang emerged from the shadows, smiling softly: “If you truly wish to move against Tianyuan Sect, the Spirit Fox Tribe won’t stand aside. Though our power is limited, when it comes to intelligence gathering, we have our ways.”
Lin Ye nodded, eyes burning: “Then we start with intelligence—uncover their foundations, and plan the next step.”
[Intelligence Gathering]
The Spirit Fox Tribe had been active in these mountains for hundreds of years and had long since established a hidden intelligence network. Their people were skilled in illusion and stealth, able to slip silently between human towns and sect forces.
Ling Shuang brought Lin Ye into a secret hall within the mountain’s heart. On the walls hung aged parchment maps densely marked with information on the Tianyuan Sect’s power distribution, affiliated families, outer strongholds, and recent changes in movement.
“Based on what we know so far—” Ling Shuang pointed to a small red dot on the map, “This is a spirit mine outpost located in ‘Flowing Cloud Valley’, overseen by an outer sect elder. Its defenses are weak, but it’s a crucial channel for transporting their spirit crystals.”
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly: “If we can strike this place, not only can we sever their resource supply, but we might also force some important figures into the open.”
Elder Wang added in a low voice, “We can also use the opportunity to gather more intel about their spirit crystals and sect resources.”
After a brief silence, Lin Ye suddenly smiled: “Then let’s start here—ignite the first battle on my road to revenge.”
