Chapter 587 Eliminate the root of the problem and prevent future troubles
Lin Hanzhou immediately removed his disguise, his face and figure became blurred, and he began to reconstruct himself.
In just a few breaths, the majestic and aged Grand Elder Zhang Tianyun of the Qinglan Sect completely disappeared, and a handsome young man in white robes reappeared in the same spot.
Lin Hanzhou slowly raised his right hand, and ripples like water spread across the void in his palm.
Immediately afterwards, a three-foot-long sword, its entire body gleaming with a chilling luster and engraved with ancient and intricate spiritual patterns, appeared out of thin air in his hand.
This was clearly a top-grade Dao weapon, the very weapon he had obtained from the newbie gift pack.
Weapon grades are divided into: Common Weapon, Spirit Weapon, Dao Weapon, Saint Weapon, Quasi-Emperor Weapon, and Ultimate Emperor Weapon.
For ordinary cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Realm, a top-grade spiritual weapon is already a very good weapon.
For weapons of higher grades, it is difficult for cultivators at the Dragon Transformation Realm to control them, as their own magical power cannot keep up and they cannot unleash the full power of the weapon.
But this was not a problem for Lin Hanzhou, as he could fully unleash the power of the Dao Soldier with his vast cultivation foundation.
boom!
A terrifying surge of blood energy, like the awakening of an ancient ferocious beast, suddenly erupted from the top of his head, shattering the auspicious sea of clouds that never dissipated above the Qinglan Sect.
At this moment, his spine erupted with dazzling golden light, and faintly, high-pitched and loud dragon roars emanated from his body, shaking all directions.
But this is far from enough.
"Burning Heaven Sacred Body, activate."
Deep within Lin Hanzhou's eyes, two clusters of crimson-gold flames flickered quietly.
In the next instant, the void within a radius of several hundred feet centered on him suddenly began to distort.
A terrifyingly high temperature, intense enough to instantly vaporize refined steel, erupted without reservation.
Crimson-gold flames spread wildly from his arm to the longsword in his hand.
The blade, which had originally gleamed with a cold light, was now completely enveloped in a layer of raging flames.
The reason he didn't choose to lie low in the shadows, but instead revealed his true form and went on a killing spree in the heart of the Qinglan Sect, was very simple.
From the fragmented memories he retrieved, he learned a crucial piece of information: Zhang Tianming, the current sect leader of the Qinglan Sect, and Zhang Tianyun, the elder whose soul he had just destroyed, were brothers born of the same mother!
The two had a deep bond and jointly held power in the Qinglan Sect.
Now that Zhang Tianyun has died under mysterious circumstances, Zhang Tianming, as a powerful figure in the Sendai Realm, will surely use the entire sect's resources and strength to investigate the true culprit.
They might even enlist the help of powerful figures skilled in divination to trace the clues back to Lin Hanzhou.
In his previous life, Lin Hanzhou was an emperor who climbed to the pinnacle by stepping over countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
His guiding principle has always been the same: nip problems in the bud and eliminate them completely to prevent future troubles.
Since Zhang Tianming will come knocking on our door sooner or later for revenge for his brother, instead of passively waiting for him to lay a trap, we should take the initiative and wipe this so-called top power in the Eastern Continent off the map of the Great Li Dynasty!
"Consider this sword strike my gift to you as our first meeting."
Lin Hanzhou's eyes were cold, without the slightest pity or hesitation. He flipped his wrist, gripped the long sword wrapped in crimson flames, and slashed it mercilessly at the towering Inner Affairs Pavilion pagoda below!
Swish-!
A crescent-shaped sword aura, hundreds of feet long and crimson gold, like a falling sun, tore through the sky and slammed down on the dome of the Internal Affairs Pavilion.
Rumble! ...
A deafening, earth-shattering roar echoed wildly through the mountains surrounding the Qinglan Sect.
The pagoda of the Inner Affairs Pavilion, reinforced by several array masters, was as fragile as tofu before this sword energy wreathed in the Sacred Flame of Burning Heaven.
The sword energy swept down from the top of the tower to the bottom with overwhelming force, splitting the entire tower in two.
Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly Flame of Burning Heaven attached to the sword energy suddenly erupted, transforming into a sea of crimson-gold fire that instantly engulfed the remaining buildings.
"ah!!!"
"Help! My body is melting!"
"What kind of fire is this? It can't be put out, it's impossible to put out!"
The piercing, chilling screams echoed from the sea of fire.
The fourth-level deacon elder who was just bowing and worshipping the "Grand Elder" in the hall, along with those dozens of inner disciples, didn't even have a chance to escape.
The terrifying temperature of the Heavenly Flame, which contained a trace of the Great Dao's law of destruction, burned through their protective true qi the moment it touched their bodies, incinerating them all into the finest ashes in the world.
And this is just the beginning.
Lin Hanzhou's figure flickered in mid-air like a ghost.
Every time he swung his longsword, a violently powerful fiery sword aura would roar out, like the scythe of death, mercilessly reaping all life within the sect.
Sword energy crisscrossed, striking the ornately decorated palaces, causing the magnificent buildings to collapse instantly, turning into charred remains; striking the beautiful, spiritually rich mountains, the mountains trembled violently, boulders tumbled down, and were then burned into glowing lava by the spreading sea of fire, flowing down the slopes.
Countless Qinglan Sect disciples who were still in seclusion cultivating or sparring in the martial arts arena were mercilessly swallowed up by the fiery sword energy that fell from the sky before they even understood what was happening. They were buried in this sea of fire created by Lin Hanzhou himself, without even being able to leave a complete last word.
Lin Hanzhou strolled above this hell on earth, his white robes fluttering in the wind and firelight, like a cold god surveying the mortal world and unleashing endless divine punishment.
A series of crisp, pleasant mechanical prompts rang in his ears.
[Ding! Detected that the host has killed an inner disciple of the Qinglan Sect (fellow disciples). Backstab talent successfully triggered! Cultivation feedback received!]
[Ding! Detected that the host has killed an outer sect deacon of the Qinglan Sect (of the same sect). Backstab talent successfully triggered! Cultivation feedback received!]
[Ding! Detected that the host has killed a true disciple of the Qinglan Sect...]
Behind every life that vanished, it transformed into incomparably pure cultivation energy, which, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, surged wildly into Lin Hanzhou's limbs and bones, causing his aura to rise at an astonishing speed.
Such rampant and earth-shattering destruction could not possibly have escaped the notice of the Qinglan Sect's higher-ups.
"What kind of monster dares to act so presumptuously in my Qinglan Sect!"
"Stop! You fiend, do you really think my Qinglan Sect has no one to rely on?!"
Accompanied by several furious roars, several imposing figures suddenly burst forth from the core peaks deep within the Qinglan Sect.
These are five inner sect elders who are in charge of the sect's internal and external affairs, and all of them are at the Dragon Transformation Realm!
The leader, an old woman with white hair, had already reached the profound realm of the sixth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm.
