Chapter 764: Chapter 402: Joining Forces, Brothers Reunite
Wan Tianlin arrived, and accompanying him were two clan elders. The strength of these two elders was a cut above the ordinary True King Heavenly Venerable Peak Martial Artists, clearly making them one of the strongest under the Immortal Heavenly Venerable within the Wan Family.
This showed the importance the Wan Family placed on Wan Tianlin.
Xu Yan's gaze flickered slightly. Wan Tianlin's strength had broken through, and his aura had become even more condensed. It was evident that he had successfully comprehended the Wan Family's secret technique with the help of the Blood Heart Fruit.
This secret technique was evidently crucial for breaking through to the Immortal Heavenly Venerable level.
Although it was not guaranteed that one could break through to Immortal Heavenly Venerable upon mastering this secret technique, it significantly increased the chances of making such a breakthrough.
In the Wan Family, Wan Tianlin was already regarded as the future Immortal Heavenly Venerable powerhouse.
With each additional Immortal Heavenly Venerable, the Wan Family's strength would naturally rise, giving them an even greater advantage in suppressing the Heavenly Grotto.
"Brother Xu, did you gain anything?"
Wan Tianlin asked with a formal bow.
Although his strength had increased, Xu Yan still appeared the same as when they last met, with no apparent growth, but Wan Tianlin did not dare to take him lightly in his heart.
Experience tales with ???
"I won't hide it from you, Brother Wan. I used some means to extract some clues from the mouth of an assassin who serves the forces behind the attack on me..."
Xu Yan nodded and spoke directly.
Wan Tianlin's eyes moved. The fact that Xu Yan had used "some means" to extract valuable information from an assassin suggested that his methods were probably not simple.
"Brother Xu, please speak!"
Wan Tianlin's demeanor was solemn as if there were a pair of sinister eyes from the mysterious force hiding in the shadows, watching the Wan Family.
"Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, the force behind the curtain is known as Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, composed of Heavenly Slaughter and Earth Shadow members. Heavenly Slaughter, as the leader, excels in the art of killing, while Earth Shadow specializes in infiltration and assassination..."
Xu Yan did not conceal anything and told Wan Tianlin all the information about Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow without reservation.
"Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow?"
Wan Tianlin and the two clan elders were more and more alarmed as they listened. Such a force, entirely unheard of and deeply hidden, likely had significant and sinister intentions.
"The people from the Wan Family who attacked me last time were, in fact, members of Earth Shadow. There are likely more infiltrators within the Wan Family. Additionally, it's known that in the Nine Mountain Realm, there's a Seven-leaf Heavenly Slaughter leading Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, whose strength is that of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable..."
Xu Yan said gravely.
"Brother Xu, is this Seven-leaf Heavenly Slaughter truly an Immortal Heavenly Venerable?"
Wan Tianlin and the two clan elders were seriously concerned.
This meant that an Immortal Heavenly Venerable powerhouse was scheming against the Wan Family!
Within the Nine Mountain Realm, Immortal Heavenly Venerables were rare, and they typically knew of each other.
"This is no falsehood, and it's even possible that there's more than one Seven-leaf Heavenly Slaughter. After all, the status of that assassin was limited; he may not know too much."
Xu Yan said earnestly.
Wan Tianlin looked grave, "Brother Xu, what exactly is Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow's purpose for stirring up conflict between us?"
"To provoke conflict between Qinghua state and the Nine Mountain Realm. The goal of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow is to trigger turmoil within the Divine Realm, all for the sake of restoring some kind of 'Domain glory'..."
Xu Yan did not hold back, conveying the motives of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, which were to create discord and revive the so-called 'Domain glory', laying it all out for Wan Tianlin.
As for the means Xu Yan used to uncover these things, he naturally did not breathe a word.
Wan Tianlin did not ask either.
"This is a grave matter; I need to report to our clan's Immortal ancestors before we can decide on our next steps."
Wan Tianlin was profoundly shaken.
The insidious goals of the mysterious force Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow were truly appalling.
What sort of 'Domain glory' could they hope to revive? It was unheard of, but this indicated that they were a group of fanatically dangerous individuals.
The Thirty-six Realms of the Divine Realm were faced with the invasion of the Heavenly Grotto. The realms had an understanding not to engage in severe conflicts or attack each other. Even when one realm faced the risk of being occupied by the Heavenly Grotto, others were known to intervene and assist.
To some extent, they were like branches of the same tree.
Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow intended to provoke attacks among the Thirty-six Realms and create chaos in the Divine Realm. Should they succeed, wouldn't it play right into the hands of the Heavenly Grotto?
If a single realm of the Divine Realm, or even several realms, were to fall into the hands of the Heavenly Grotto, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"From what I've investigated, I alone might not be able to completely eradicate one of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow's bases. Thus, I seek Brother Wan's assistance in this matter.
"Moreover, I'd like to ask you, Brother Wan, to help me pass on a message and search for someone..."
Xu Yan went on to state his intentions.
In addition to jointly targeting Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow's base, he was of course seeking Meng Chong.
"No problem!"
Wan Tianlin readily agreed.
Dahai Mountain was the Wan Family's territory. The presence of a lurking force there was unacceptable, and it had to be rooted out no matter what.
As for passing on messages to find someone, that was even simpler.
"There's no time to lose, Brother Xu. Let's take action now."
Wan Tianlin was somewhat eager.
"Very well."
Xu Yan glanced at the two clan elders of the Wan Family, assessing their strength as sufficient to destroy a Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow base.
After all, according to Yin Yi, the strength of each base of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow varied, but none were overly powerful. The leader of Heavenly Slaughter in charge of the Dahai Mountain region might not be stronger than these two Wan Family elders.
"One of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow's bases is located here..."
Xu Yan revealed the location of one base, after all, when it came to familiarity with Dahai Mountain, Wan Tianlin naturally knew best.
"So it's there!"
Wan Tianlin nodded, quickly finding the location of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow on the map of the Wan Family's Dahai Mountain region.
