Chapter 88

"唳！——"

The flock of eagles fell into chaos, and almost simultaneously, the leader of the Sky Patrol Eagle demons could no longer hold back and charged down. Lin Xi's actions were a blatant act of contempt and provocation, which it could not tolerate.

"Right now! Everyone, attack together!"

With a roar, Lin Xi and Jian Yaobai took the lead, followed by the other four disciples. The overwhelming true qi, like a mountain collapsing and a sea surging, enveloped the swords and rained down on the leader of the Sky Patrol Eagle demons. The golden cauldron floating above their heads also crashed down, like a mountain collapsing and a pillar falling.

A mid-grade magical artifact, plus seven disciples at the first level of the Qi Condensation stage. Even if the Sky Patrol Eagle demon leader were made of iron, it could not withstand this. With a bang, its brain splattered, blood gushed, and it was smashed into a pulp.

"唳！——"

With the death of the Sky Patrol Eagle demon leader, the sky full of Sky Patrol Eagle demons immediately fell into panic. They flapped their wings and flew high into the sky, scattering in all directions. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone, truly a case of "when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter."

Phew!

Everyone let out a long sigh of relief, their backs drenched in cold sweat, feeling weak. Even Jian Yaobai was the same, and they all sat down to meditate and recover.

However, Lin Xi was far from as exhausted as they were. As soon as his true qi was depleted, the energy stored in the cells throughout his body, from the Thunder Master Pill, immediately surged forth, transforming back into true qi and replenishing his meridians. In just a moment, his energy was once again surging.

In terms of physical strength and endurance, five Jian Yaobaos would not be his match.

However, Lin Xi did not dare to overdo it, lest these people regard him as a monster. So, he also sat down and pretended to meditate for a while.

Soon, these people finished meditating, swallowed the Qi Replenishing Pills they carried, and immediately stood up. Lin Xi felt it was about time and also stood up.

However, as soon as he moved, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone, including Jian Yaobai.

"Senior Brother Lin, you are truly amazing! You managed to kill so many Sky Patrol Eagle demons all by yourself!"

A lively little girl was the first to run to Lin Xi's side, her face full of admiration.

With someone taking the lead, a group of people quickly gathered around Lin Xi.

"Yes, yes! When Senior Brother Lin rushed out, I thought we were all done for! I never expected that Senior Brother Lin would come out unscathed."

"The Divine Night Sect is indeed one of the top sects in the Immortal Dao world. Just look at Senior Brother Lin. One person is worth six of us!"

"That large cauldron seems to be a mid-grade magical artifact! I've only seen a low-grade one before, and that was in the hands of a few disciples at the second level of the Qi Condensation stage. A mid-grade magical artifact, this is the first time I've seen one!"

"If it weren't for Senior Brother Lin's help, we would probably all be dead here."

...

The group chattered away, expressing their admiration and gratitude.

"Master, they all think you are an outer sect disciple of the Divine Night Sect!"

Kamila's thoughts echoed in Lin Xi's mind. She was lying inside his clothes, hearing everything clearly:

"If they knew you are just a registered disciple of the Divine Night Sect, they would be even more shocked. However, can't they see that the robe you are wearing is not the outer sect disciple's robe?"

Kamila's words were somewhat mocking. To the vampire queen, Lin Xi's robe was clearly the most obvious attire of a registered disciple.

"It's not their fault. A registered disciple is unlikely to have the opportunity to enter here, let alone help them. Subconsciously, they think I am at least an outer sect disciple. Perhaps, in their eyes, I just wore the wrong robe or there is some other reason."

Lin Xi said indifferently. He did not mind these things.

With this incident, the relationship between the two groups indeed became much more harmonious.

Lin Xi chatted with them for a while and learned about their situation.

Indeed, these disciples of the Northern Dipper Palace had received a sect mission to collect the feathers of Sky Patrol Eagle demons, Dragon Blood Grass, and the inner dan of Black Dragon beasts. The portal they used was also created by the sect's elders, who roamed the void and gathered the essence of the Black Dragon space.

At the same time, they were very surprised that Lin Xi had entered here through the Black Dragon portal.

Two Immortal Dao sects discovering the same place and their disciples entering the same place to complete missions was very rare. Of course, they did not know that Lin Xi had received a mission as a registered disciple.

However, after the two groups discussed, they found that their missions did not conflict.

"Let's do it this way, Brother Lin. We will work together to hunt the Sky Patrol Eagle demons. The feathers will be ours, and the hearts and inner dan will be yours. As for the Black Dragon beasts, the hearts will be yours, and the inner dan will be ours. What do you think? This way, the difficulty of our hunt will be greatly reduced, and we will both complete our sect missions."

Jian Yaobai thought for a moment and suggested.

His voice was hesitant, and his expression was somewhat uncertain. After all, Lin Xi seemed to be just helping out, and with the mid-grade magical artifact in Lin Xi's hands, his strength was much greater than theirs.

This suggestion seemed to give them a significant advantage.

"Haha, I was thinking the same thing."

Lin Xi laughed and readily agreed to Jian Yaobai's suggestion.

This was all about merit points!

With no conflict in their missions and so many Qi Condensation stage experts helping, how could Lin Xi not agree?

One fierce beast, two sects' disciples earning merit points, this was simply perfect.

In the following time, Lin Xi and Jian Yaobai worked together to hunt the Sky Patrol Eagle demons. Although the Sky Patrol Eagle demons could fly, they did not always stay in the sky.

The group found several nests of Sky Patrol Eagle demons on the rocks, then blocked the entrances and hunted them one by one.

With seven people working together, it was incredibly easy to kill them.

Their luck was not always bad, and the Sky Patrol Eagle demons did not always appear in groups of more than twenty. More often, they appeared in groups of six to seven, or even three to four.

In a short time, Lin Xi obtained over thirty hearts and inner dan of Sky Patrol Eagle demons. Jian Yaobai and the others also obtained a large number of the eagle feathers they needed.

The cooperation was pleasant, and everyone was very satisfied!

"Brother Lin, have you noticed? It seems like a group of people has been following us."

During a break, Jian Yaobai suddenly said, his eyes looking behind them.

"Oh?"

Lin Xi's eyes flickered, and he also looked behind them.

"These guys have been following us for a long time. It seems they are targeting us."

Another disciple of the Northern Dipper Palace said, frowning.

Anyone being followed by a group of people with unknown intentions would feel uncomfortable.

"Master, they are the three people we sensed earlier. They are targeting us."

Kamila's voice echoed in Lin Xi's mind.

"It's about time to deal with them. Since we've confirmed they are sent by the Long Family to target me, there's no need to let them go."

Lin Xi said.

"Everyone!"

Lin Xi smiled and stood up:

"These people are targeting me. Please excuse me for a moment while I deal with this small trouble. We'll meet again soon."

"What!"

The group stood up when they heard Lin Xi was leaving.

"Senior Brother Lin, do you think we are afraid? These people are targeting you, which means they are targeting us."

"Exactly! Senior Brother Lin saved our lives. How can we retreat at such a time?"

"Senior Brother Lin's enemies are our enemies. As long as Senior Brother Lin gives the order, we will turn around and kill those people!"

...

The group was indignant, and each one volunteered.

Only Jian Yaobai remained calm. He glanced back at the deep mountains behind them, seemed to sense something, and did not speak.

"Ha ha, I appreciate your concern, but they are just a few petty thieves. I can handle them myself."

Lin Xi said calmly, waving his hand to show he was not looking down on them.

What a joke!

He was going to kill people. This was an internal conflict within the sect. If it became known, regardless of right or wrong, the first charge would be the murder of a fellow disciple. How could Lin Xi let them be witnesses?

Lin Xi always believed in the principle: if others do not offend me, I will not offend them. If they do, I will kill them.

These people had been following him all the way, clearly sent by the Long Family to kill him. If they were going to kill him, how could he stand still and let them slit his throat?

So, Lin Xi's thoughts were simple:

Since these three people came to the Black Dragon space, they would not be going back!

"Everyone, we must trust Brother Lin's strength."

At this moment, Jian Yaobai suddenly spoke, raising his hand to stop the group:

"Everyone saw how Brother Lin charged into the Sky Patrol Eagle demons. Even if he can't win, he can still escape. Let's part ways for a while and let Brother Lin handle his business."

"Brother Lin, go ahead. We'll meet you at the Black Dragon Beast Hills later."

Jian Yaobai looked deeply at Lin Xi, as if understanding something.

Lin Xi nodded, said nothing more, and his body flickered, rising into the sky with a boom, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Junior brothers and sisters, let's go."

Jian Yaobai said.

"But Senior Brother, Senior Brother Lin saved us. Are we just going to leave like this?"

The lively and cute junior sister said, somewhat unwilling.

Jian Yaobai looked at the group, sighed, and said:

"Think about it. If those people were targeting us, why didn't they attack when they had so many opportunities? Clearly, they are targeting Brother Lin. But also consider, where are we? Who could follow Brother Lin through the Black Dragon portal into this space?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the five people were shocked and instantly understood.

"Senior Brother Jian, who do you mean...?"

A disciple of the Northern Dipper Palace spoke hesitantly.

"Trust me, the best way to help Brother Lin is to see nothing and stay far away."

Jian Yaobai said deeply.

The dangers in the Immortal Dao world come not only from the outside but also from within the sect!

Whether it's the Divine Night Sect or any other sect,
