If I don’t die, the Heavenly Fire Temple might seek revenge at all costs.
If I die, it becomes meaningless to them, and they won’t pay such a hefty price.
Although the risk of soul reincarnation is immense, there’s no other choice now.
“Lin Yun, you are outrageously bold. Return to the Heavenly Fire Temple immediately to face punishment! You will pay a heavy price for your actions!”
A stern reprimand and command from an elder came through the Heavenly Fire Token.
Lin Yun didn’t respond. Instead, he immediately took out the secret technique for soul reincarnation and infused it with inner strength.
As the technique activated, its contents instantly flooded into Lin Yun’s mind.
…
Inside the main hall in front of the Earth Square at the Heavenly Fire Temple, the red-robed elder who assigned the task to Lin Yun and Elder Li were both seated.
“Bang!”
“That bastard actually killed Shuzhen!” The red-robed elder slammed the table, his face surging with raging fury.
Just moments ago, Shuzhen’s elite subordinates had relayed the news through the Heavenly Fire Token.
This news, naturally, enraged him greatly.
“What? That wretched fool! How many times was he told, yet he refused to listen? Utterly stubborn!” Elder Li also stood up, cursing angrily, his face full of rage.
“The Heavenly Fire Token can no longer reach him. It seems we must deal with him harshly!”
The red-robed elder then shouted towards the hall’s entrance, “Has his death servant contract been retrieved?”
As soon as the words fell, a Heavenly Fire Guard hurriedly ran into the hall.
“Reporting to the elder, Lin Yun’s death servant contract has been retrieved.”
The guard immediately presented the contract.
The red-robed elder took the contract and gripped it tightly, “Let’s see if he can withstand the torment of the death servant contract!”
…
On the other side, during his full-speed escape, Lin Yun had completely mastered the soul reincarnation technique.
“Hiss!”
At that moment, Lin Yun suddenly felt a sharp, intense pain in his soul!
“Damn it, it’s the death servant contract attacking me!” Lin Yun’s expression changed drastically.
Without a doubt, the Heavenly Fire Temple elders were using the death servant contract to attack him.
“Lin Yun, return immediately, or we’ll use the death servant contract to kill you, ensuring you never find peace!” The red-robed elder’s furious voice came through the Heavenly Fire Token again.
Lin Yun didn’t respond. Instead, he discarded his own Heavenly Fire Token and then took Shuzhen’s token from the storage ring and discarded it as well.
These tokens could be used to track his location.
Enduring the pain, Lin Yun continued to sprint forward to rendezvous with An Yun.
From the moment Lin Yun first attempted to escape, he had already contacted An Yun, asking her to meet him quickly.
The piercing pain from deep within his soul kept intensifying, threatening to overwhelm him until he perished.
“I must perform the soul reincarnation before the death servant contract kills me. If I die by the contract, not only will I be unable to reincarnate, but I’ll also be doomed for eternity!” Lin Yun gritted his teeth.
After fleeing at full speed for a while longer, Lin Yun finally stopped, descending into a dense forest valley.
He leaned against a rock.
At this moment, Lin Yun was drenched in sweat, his face contorted in agony, his body trembling.
Few could endure such torment. Even with Lin Yun’s strong pain tolerance, it was excruciating.
For an ordinary death servant, such pain would likely force immediate surrender.
The agony was worse than death itself.
And the pain continued to intensify!
“It must begin now!”
Lin Yun closed his eyes and began to operate the soul reincarnation technique.
Every second counted.
Lin Yun knew the bracelet An Yun gave him could be used for communication and to track his location.
At that moment, a streak of light descended from the sky.
Lin Yun opened his eyes and saw An Yun from the Wuji Heavenly Palace!
She arrived quickly, as both had been rushing towards each other at full speed, and the distance wasn’t too great.
Moreover, as a Void Realm cultivator, An Yun’s speed was extraordinary when pushed to the limit.
“Lin Yun!”
Seeing Lin Yun drenched in sweat, pale, and with a contorted face, An Yun was startled.
“The Heavenly Fire Temple is using the death servant contract to kill me. I… I must reincarnate now!” Lin Yun said through gritted teeth, his voice trembling.
As the contract’s attacks grew stronger, if not for Lin Yun’s powerful soul and will, he might already be dead.
“Alright, start immediately. You must not let the death servant contract kill you first!” An Yun’s expression was grave.
“Take care… take care of this body for me!”
After struggling to say this, Lin Yun closed his eyes again, preparing for reincarnation.
An Yun quickly said, “Lin Yun, we will carefully preserve this body. We’ll wait for you to reclaim it! If you successfully awaken your memories, come to the castle from last time. We’ll leave someone there, waiting for you always!”
