Chapter 992: Chapter 613: Sacrifice and Counter-Sacrifice

Regarding the divine sword in the cave, Lu Lin actually still harbors some thoughts about it.

But he also knows that with his current ability, he simply cannot resist the power carried by that divine sword itself.

If he wants to obtain that divine sword, he probably really needs to wait until his cultivation reaches the level of Saint Lord or even higher.

Just like the Heart of the World in the Exotic Battlefield, Lu Lin wants to refine it into his body, which is also a matter of long term commitment.

The journey was silent, and the three returned to the Demon Slaying Sect.

Seeing "Hao Datong" appear again, everyone was a bit tense, and Elder Cheng Yu was inwardly excited.

The person he couldn’t capture was so easily brought back by Lu Lin on the way.

After dismissing everyone, Lu Lin explained, and Elder Cheng Yu was filled with indescribable emotions.

Xiao Qi, that is Guan Xuejun, was one of Lv Potian’s many disciples whom he remembered profoundly.

Although Guan Xuejun seemed simple and honest, it was just his usual demeanor when interacting with people, not his true nature.

In those years at the Extraterritorial Battlefield, Guan Xuejun was akin to a killing god.

His cultivation at the Star Emperor Stage was top-notch in Longyuan World, but at the Extraterritorial Battlefield facing World Monsters, it wasn’t an ability that could crush everything.

Yet Guan Xuejun, over ten thousand years at the Extraterritorial Battlefield, killed the mindless and senseless World Monsters into fear, avoiding him when they saw him.

Unexpectedly, he disappeared for thousands of years and met here at this time.

"Master, Senior Guan is quite familiar with Hao Datong, we will be searching for Hao Datong’s traces together next."

"Unlike the Seven Poisons Sect Inheritor, this Hao Datong is much more sinister, and he has lived in the Holy Land for many years, being quite familiar with its upper and lower paths. If allowed to continue, it could be problematic in the future."

"Well, I understand this."

Looking at the confident Lu Lin before him, Elder Cheng Yu felt an even stronger sense of his own aging.

"Since you young people have ideas, go ahead and do it. In the Demon Slaying Sect, there’s me and Xuan Jin. If Hao Datong dares to come again, I will surely not let him escape."

At that moment, Lu Lin and Guan Xuejun bid farewell to everyone, and Guan Xuejun was responsible for seeking Hao Datong’s traces nearby.

Although Hao Datong certainly knew the news of his avatar’s demise, he wouldn’t know that Guan Xuejun had taken over his flesh, and some concealed places needed Guan Xuejun to explore.

Lu Lin, having the Guiding Star Skill, could avoid revealing his secrecy even after separating from Guan Xuejun.

Separating from Guan Xuejun, Lu Lin activated the Guiding Star Skill at the first moment, a golden arrow pointing directly to the deep Northwest Domain.

However, it slightly differed from his previous returning path.

After flying for two days, Lu Lin saw the arrow suddenly point downward, showing a hint of a smile on his face.

The Guiding Star Skill is truly invincible.

In terms of locating people or things, it’s simply unparalleled.

Even Hao Datong as slippery as a ghost cannot escape from Lu Lin’s grasp.

Below lies a Demon Tribe, which Lu Lin had previously contacted—the Four-eyed Spirit Monkey Clan.

At this moment, these Four-eyed Spirit Monkey Clan members are surrounding a bronze Great Tree in the middle of the tribe for some rites.

The bronze Great Tree is indeed remarkable, with a trunk of shiny bronze color, and even the branches and leaves sharing this trait.

Although Lu Lin had heard of the name "Soul-dripping Tree" before, he was seeing it for the first time.

Previously within the Kongming White Ape Clan, Lu Lin knew they needed to use the Soul-dripping Tree Sap to activate the Space Talent.

Lu Lin did not disturb those conducting the ritual in the Four-eyed Spirit Monkey Clan, quietly descending from the air, and using the cover of night, he gradually infiltrated the tribe border.

This branch of the Four-eyed Spirit Monkey Tribe contains one hundred thousand clan members, and everyone in sight has at least Star Universe Phase cultivation, with the highest having Star Emperor Stage, totaling forty-some members.

This is a medium-sized Four-eyed Spirit Monkey Tribe.

Near the Soul-dripping Tree, a group of Four-eyed Spirit Monkeys with white hair on their heads are chanting something in the Demon language.

Lu Lin was too far to hear clearly.

But he vaguely heard words like "Tree God," "grace," "sacrifice," leading him to wonder if this ritual was for sacrificing something or someone?

As Lu Lin pondered, he saw four Four-eyed Spirit Monkey clan members, reaching Star Emperor Peak, carrying a person wrapped in vines.

However, Lu Lin could only distinguish that it was a person, as other areas were too tightly covered, and it was inconvenient for him to probe with Soul Power.

"Ura—"

"Owa owa hum ha—"

This sentence means to offer the intruder to the great Tree God in hopes that the Tree God continues to grow and protect their tribe.

After saying this, the Monkey King in front suddenly tore open the vines on the person’s body.

"Oh my!"

Lu Lin couldn’t help but exclaim softly.

The person wrapped up turned out to be the escaped Hao Datong.

Lu Lin initially thought Hao Datong would use some transformation Secret Method to blend among the tens of thousands of Four-eyed Spirit Monkeys, having not expected him to be captured and destined to be sacrificed to the great Tree God.

This guy is truly unlucky.

After being freed from the vines, Hao Datong looked at the excited Four-eyed Spirit Monkey clan members before him, showing a slight cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

Hehe.

With his methods, how could he be easily captured by these Demon Tribe members?
