At this moment, Long Tutian turned to look at Lin Xiao and casually asked, “Junior Brother, did you not manage to breakthrough another level of spiritual power in succession?”
Hearing Long Tutian’s words, Lin Xiao’s face could not help twitching as he replied, “One level is equivalent to three layers of cultivation. Breaking through spiritual power is not that easy.”
Qing Yan and Huo Ruyan also nodded secretly. This was within their expectations.
Especially Qing Yan. Lin Xiao breaking through one layer of yuan power and then one level of spiritual power had already shocked him greatly.
If Lin Xiao had broken through two levels in a row, that would be equivalent to six layers of realm. How could that be possible?
“By the way, Senior Brother, do you know when the Sect Master plans to attack that place?”
Lin Xiao could not help asking.
Regarding attacking the Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower, he had long been eager to try.
However, joining forces with various major powers was still somewhat insufficient in strength.
But now, both he and Long Tutian had broken through. Huo Ruyan and Qing Yan had presumably improved as well. They had three battle skeletons, plus the mysterious Canglong Sect Master. If they launched a surprise attack, there was hope against Tianji Sacred Land.
With their current overall strength, even facing a fifth-layer Martial Saint like the Ji family’s old monster, they could hold their own.
Of course, only if they joined forces.
“The Sect Master has his own plans. He is contacting some allies. Nothing is confirmed yet.”
Long Tutian said, “If it is fast, there could be movement within a few months. If slow, a year or a year and a half.”
Lin Xiao’s brows furrowed slightly. The Canglong Sect Master wanting to move against the Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower likely had his own purpose.
It seemed unlikely that the Sect Master was specifically preparing the attack for Long Tutian and him.
Long Tutian had not explained this too clearly.
As for contacting allies, it was all handled behind the scenes by the Canglong Sect Master. He had no information at all.
To move against the Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower, he probably could not place too much hope on the Canglong Sect Master.
At most, he could only count on adding the Sect Master’s combat power.
As for how many would stand up, that was another matter.
The most important thing was to rely on himself. He needed to prepare fully.
“Then we should make some preparations too.”
Lin Xiao paused, then said, “Right now, five major forces are allied. If I am not wrong, they are probably still gathered around Spirit Pool Island. If we attack that place, and they all rush over together, it will be difficult.”
“So what do you suggest?”
Long Tutian asked.
“First, teach one family a lesson so they become wary and rush back to protect their own families. Then, we head to Spirit Pool Island. I plan to refine the Destruction Spiritual Energy.”
Lin Xiao said.
Hearing this, Qing Yan was greatly shocked. Refine the Destruction Spiritual Energy of Spirit Pool Island?
He had heard of that spiritual energy. It had existed for a very long time, and no one had ever succeeded in refining it, not even eighth-grade spirit controllers.
Yet Lin Xiao wanted to refine the Destruction Spiritual Energy?
That Destruction Spiritual Energy ranked tenth on the Spiritual Energy List.
Apart from it, the top nine spiritual energies only existed in legends and had never appeared.
In other words, this Destruction Spiritual Energy was currently the most powerful and most difficult to cultivate. Could Lin Xiao succeed in refining it?
The main issue was that Lin Xiao already had one spiritual energy in his mind. Could he refine a second type?
“Could it be that his spiritual energy is a fusion of several types?”
Qing Yan suddenly recalled the three attributes contained in Lin Xiao’s spiritual energy when he displayed it, and he could not help speculating.
“Has he already fused three spiritual energies?”
At this thought, Qing Yan felt another jolt in his heart.
Two spiritual energies were already unprecedented. Three would be far too heaven-defying.
In that instant, Qing Yan seemed to understand something and was utterly shocked.
This was the true top-tier monster! Yuan power defying saints, spiritual power directly defying heaven, refining three spiritual energies… and now Lin Xiao was going to refine a fourth?
At this moment, Qing Yan looked at Lin Xiao as if he were a monster.
Qing Yan knew that compared to this youth, his title as the Demon Frog genius fell far short, not just by a little.
“No, I must push myself harder too. We are of the same generation. I cannot fall too far behind.”
Qing Yan resolved secretly.
Of course, he did not ask. Since the other was going to refine the Destruction Spiritual Energy, he must have fused spiritual energies before. Otherwise, he would not have such confidence to risk refining a second one.
Possessing spiritual energy with three energy attributes definitely meant fusing three spiritual energies.
This was an unprecedented achievement! Qing Yan even felt the urge to build a closer relationship. His father had sent him to assist, and it was indeed the right decision.
This youth would surely achieve greatness in the future! He might even reach the height of the Heaven-Swallowing Spirit Emperor.
Naturally, Lin Xiao had no idea Qing Yan was thinking so much.
As for Huo Ruyan and Long Tutian, they had known for a while and showed little reaction.
“My target is the Hong family. The Hong family is located in the northwest Youzhou, bordering Western Haozhou on the left and Northern Xuanzhou on the right. Even if the five major forces know, they will not guess where we are going. The Ying and Jiang families’ experts will definitely rush back to save their own families no matter what.”
Lin Xiao continued, “This way, we can avoid the situation of a group of Martial Saints gathering together.”
“Yes, and as for the method of teaching them a lesson, we will first destroy twenty or thirty of their branches.”
Lin Xiao added.
Originally, he had wanted to destroy their headquarters directly, but after the Ji family experience, he gave up that idea.
No one knew if the Hong family also had an old monster still alive.
Though they were no longer afraid now, it would still cause some trouble.
It was faster and more direct to destroy their branches instead.
Destroying one family branch was practically a single palm strike.
Hearing Lin Xiao’s words, Qing Yan and the other two were all surprised. Twenty or thirty branches meant at least tens of thousands of people.
Directly slaughtering tens of thousands from one family? That was too cruel.
This was practically exterminating an entire clan! One could imagine how furious the Hong family patriarch and others would be if so many were killed, and how wary the other families wanting to ally against them would become.
If they really did this, the other families would definitely rush back to protect their own people.
“Too ruthless. This guy must never be offended.”
Qing Yan thought secretly.
Even as a Demon Frog, he was not this ruthless.
Long Tutian and Huo Ruyan said nothing in the end.
Long Tutian had killed his way here, and Huo Ruyan had come through bloodshed. Even slaughter held little feeling for them.
If others do not offend me, I will not offend them. If they do, kill as needed.
What surprised them was only Lin Xiao’s plan.
Lin Xiao’s thoughts were the same as Huo Ruyan’s.
Though he had suffered no losses now, the grudge with the Hong family was already formed.
Since they wanted his life, he would make them pay a heavy price.
He, Lin Xiao, was not someone to be trifled with, to be targeted by alliances at will.
Each great family had its dignity and repaid grudges. He too had his dignity and repaid them doubly.
“This is a good choice. If anything unexpected happens, we return here.”
Huo Ruyan finally agreed.
Long Tutian and Qing Yan also nodded.
“Then no time to delay. We set off now.”
Lin Xiao said.
Immediately, the four left the tree stump.
Returning the way they came, Lin Xiao and the others encountered no more vine attacks and smoothly exited the area.
