The land of yellow sand.
Wei Lang stood in the open field with a bitter expression, while the two guards beside him lay on the ground spitting blood.
And in front of them stood Zhong Lin and the other two.
"Kid, you ran pretty fast, keep running!"
Bian Yingjie clenched his fists, the joints crackling, matching his slightly mocking expression, he looked every bit the villain.
Of course, it wouldn’t be wrong to call him a villain.
Zhong Lin and Chi Zhonglin slightly leaned to either side, preventing another escape attempt.
The three formed a triangular stance, vaguely encircling Wei Lang.
Wei Lang, with only Yin Yang Realm Gang Cultivation, had no chance of escaping against these three masters.
"Brother Zhong, do you really want to push me to the brink?" Wei Lang said bitterly.
Zhong Lin answered with a smile, "Not necessarily to the brink, but it depends on your performance, Brother Wei. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
"Brother Zhong, after all, you have inherited the cultivation techniques of my Sea Suppressing Sect and have ties to it. I am now just a stray dog, won’t you give me a way out?"
"Inheritance? Ties? Hahaha, if being taken over by an old ghost counts as ties, then our connection truly is deep. Brother Wei, do you really want to discuss it with me?" Zhong Lin said.
Hearing this, Wei Lang’s expression stiffened, a thread connected in his mind, and he wished he could slap himself twice.
He had thought Zhong Lin had some connection with a predecessor of the Sea Suppressing Sect to gain a stroke of luck. Now it seemed that it was the result of a sect elder’s body being destroyed and failing to seize Zhong Lin.
Thinking of this, Wei Lang sighed, as if resigning to his fate, "I understand. Brother Zhong, please instruct me. I won’t refuse as long as I can do it."
Chi Zhonglin to the side pouted, Isn’t it brave to refuse?
Wei Lang seemed not to notice Chi Zhonglin’s expression, still looking sincerely at Zhong Lin.
Zhong Lin nodded in satisfaction, "I want to know the real reason why Battle Heaven Sacred Land destroyed the Sea Suppressing Sect."
"It’s said that an elder of my Sea Suppressing Sect accidentally discovered an ancient Great Ability’s place of death, which aroused the greed of a Sealing King strong person of Battle Heaven Sacred Land, leading to this disaster," Wei Lang said in a deep voice.
"Is there really a place where an ancient Great Ability passed away?"
Bian Yingjie couldn’t help but ask, his eyes filled with eagerness.
Wei Lang nodded, "That’s what my master told me, but I’m not clear on the specifics."
Wei Lang shrugged helplessly, "I am merely of Yin Yang Realm cultivation, not even a true disciple of the sect. Even if there is a place where a Great Ability died, how could I know? I only heard some bits from my master, whether it’s true or not, you three will have to judge for yourselves."
The three of them nodded inwardly; the logic did make sense. Even if such a place existed, it would be kept secret, not something a mere Yin Yang Realm disciple would know.
At the same time, they felt a hint of disappointment. Although they had a premonition, the reality still left them feeling somewhat lost.
"Next question, where is the inheritance land left by the Sea Suppressing Sect?"
"I only know one place, located in Black Wind Valley of the Battle Domain. I can take you there, just spare my life after you obtain the inheritance. I am now just a stray dog, killing me would do you no good," Wei Lang said.
"If you really can find the Sea Suppressing Sect’s inheritance, sparing your life isn’t out of the question," Bian Yingjie said.
"This is a matter of life and death, I dare not speak carelessly," Wei Lang replied respectfully.
Zhong Lin and the others exchanged looks, seeing the delight in each other’s eyes, though their vigilance also grew stronger.
It’s impossible to take someone’s word completely at face value. They all knew that the inheritance land must be secret and fraught with danger, as it was set up for the sect’s resurgence after its fall. If there weren’t any traps, it would indeed be strange.
However, knowing its specific location, they could take their time.
"Junior Brother, the matter of Yang Evil is not urgent. Let’s first retrieve the Sea Suppressing Sect’s inheritance, then contact the Master and Senior Brother to see if they have any methods." Chi Zhonglin transmitted.
"Alright, I’ll listen to Senior Brother."
"That’s settled then. Let’s go!"
Ignoring the two guards who had lost their combat power, Chi Zhonglin stepped forward and used a secret technique to seal Wei Lang’s Xuandan, preventing any tricks, then took out the flying boat and headed straight for the transmission array.
Wei Lang didn’t resist, even actively restraining his Spiritual Origin to accommodate Chi Zhonglin’s secret technique.
As a trapped fish on the chopping block facing two Life and Death Realm powerhouses with Undying Bodies, any ideas would remain buried deep in his heart, never to be shown.
The transmission array to the Battle Domain wasn’t far, and Wei Lang’s plan had been to use it to leave the Five Elements Secret Realm, but he was a step too slow and got blocked.
The Battle Domain was situated to the north of the Eastern Desolate, with few mountains or waters, barren and desolate. Therefore, the martial artists in this domain generally had a bold spirit, and the martial arts cultivation was full of combat techniques, excelling in physical tempering compared to other domains.
If the Sword Domain is the top in Sword Dao, then the physical cultivation methods of the Battle Domain are unmatched in the Eastern Desolate; top-level body martial arts primarily originate here.
Battle Heaven Sacred Land dominates this domain, akin to the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land. All martial artists aspire to Battle Heaven Sacred Land.
As the space shifted, they opened their eyes again to find themselves within the Battle Domain.
"Is this the Battle Domain?"
Zhong Lin stood in mid-air, scanning the surroundings. Compared to the Sword Domain, there wasn’t much difference in the density of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, but the environment was entirely distinct.
The world was vast, with sparse mountains and waters, and beneath their feet lay a wilderness filled with dense forests, with faint roars of beasts echoing from within.
"Each of the Ten Domains of the Eastern Desolate has its own features. This is just the beginning. When you visit the Flower Domain, you’ll know what a true earthly paradise is. In contrast, the Battle Domain’s most distinct feature is its ruggedness, and so are its people," Chi Zhonglin said with a smile.
"You know nothing. Only those who come from the Battle Domain among the Eastern Desolation’s Ten Domains are real men," Bian Yingjie retorted angrily.
"Real men? In your view, does having muscles in the brain qualify someone as a real man? The Arhat Path in the Buddha Domain trains the body too. Do they count?" Chi Zhonglin sneered.
"Those are bald monks, don’t lump them with our Battle Domain. Our Battle Domain’s martial artists are bold and loving, if they fancy someone, they take them home. They wouldn’t just sit on their hands. Real men should be dauntless and bold."
As he spoke, Bian Yingjie deliberately made several rather lewd gestures.
Chi Zhonglin’s face darkened, turning his head away.
