Chapter 425 Martial Arts Beyond the Heavenly Rank
……
At this time.
Lin Hanzhou, whom the Great Sages regarded as a monstrous flood and even imagined as a "reclusive old monster".
He was leisurely walking with his newly acquired little follower, Jiang Ling, on the way to the Jiang family's ancestral home—Shenhuoling.
……
Shenhuo Ridge is located in the northern part of the Nine Heavens Continent, hundreds of millions of miles away from the Death Desert.
But for Lin Hanzhou, this distance was just a matter of walking a few more steps.
To enjoy the scenery along the way, Lin Hanzhou didn't teleport directly, but instead flew slowly with Jiang Ling.
Along the way, as Jiang Ling looked at the mysterious and unpredictable senior beside her, her awe and curiosity grew stronger.
"senior……"
"Are you an old friend of the Jiang family?"
Jiang Ling asked cautiously.
Although Lin Hanzhou acted very easygoing, the invisible pressure emanating from his every move still made her feel a little breathless.
"Old friend?"
Lin Hanzhou smiled but did not give a direct answer.
I guess so.
"After all, I also studied your family's imperial scriptures, so this can be considered a token of our gratitude."
Hearing this, Jiang Ling felt a warmth in her heart.
In this cold and ruthless world of cultivation, there are very few people who would lend a helping hand for the sake of "a token of kinship".
However, what she didn't know was...
Lin Hanzhou's decision to intervene was not entirely for the sake of this so-called incense offering, but for the imperial laws that accompany the Jiang family's imperial scriptures.
He learned from the jade slips in the Imperial Scripture that the Imperial Law left behind by the Burning Heaven Emperor still existed in the ancestral land of the Jiang family.
The so-called Imperial Law refers to the martial arts techniques created by the Great Emperor.
This level of martial arts surpasses the Heavenly Rank but falls below the legendary Immortal Rank, and is also known as the Emperor Rank.
Lin Hanzhou was quite interested in this kind of martial arts technique.
"arrive."
Just then, Lin Hanzhou's voice interrupted Jiang Ling's thoughts.
She raised her head and looked ahead.
At the edge of the field of vision, a majestic, crimson mountain range rose abruptly from the ground, piercing the clouds.
Within the mountains, subterranean fires erupted, and crimson clouds swirled, resembling a burning sea of fire.
That is Shenhuo Ridge.
This was once the sacred ground of the Jiang family.
Legend has it that the Great Emperor Burning Heaven attained enlightenment here, leaving behind boundless profound heritage.
This place is rich in geothermal energy, making it an ideal paradise for cultivators who practice fire-attribute techniques.
But at this moment, at the gate of Shenhuoling, there was an extremely conspicuous flag hanging.
The flag, embroidered with a golden sun, fluttered in the wind, appearing particularly arrogant.
"The Blazing Sun Sect..."
Jiang Ling looked at the flag, her eyes instantly reddening, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh.
The Lieyang Sect was originally a second-rate power that was only affiliated with the Jiang family.
But after the Jiang family fell from grace, they were the first ingrates to turn on them. Not only did they seize Shenhuoling, they also massacred members of the Jiang family's collateral branches, plundering the Jiang family's entire fortune.
With the resources of the Jiang family, the Lieyang Sect has now become a first-class sect within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and its sect leader has even broken through to the Saint Realm, enjoying boundless glory.
Jiang Ling's voice trembled, filled with endless hatred.
Lin Hanzhou patted her shoulder and said calmly.
"Don't rush."
"Now that I'm here, then..."
"It will soon return to normal."
After saying that, Lin Hanzhou, with Jiang Ling in tow, landed directly at the foot of Shenhuo Ridge.
……
"stop!"
"Who goes there?! How dare you trespass on the sacred grounds of the Blazing Sun Sect?!"
As soon as they landed, several gatekeepers dressed in the Lieyang Sect uniforms surrounded them, shouting at them.
They were all arrogant and haughty, clearly used to throwing their weight around.
"what?"
"This girl... she looks kind of familiar?"
One of the disciples' eyes fell on Jiang Ling, and he suddenly paused for a moment. Then, as if he had discovered a new continent, he pointed at Jiang Ling and shouted.
"Holy crap! Isn't that Jiang Ling, that remnant of the Jiang family?!"
"Hahaha! It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to me effortlessly!"
"The sect leader has offered a reward of 100,000 spirit stones for her capture!"
"Brothers! We're rich!!"
"Quick! Grab her!!"
Several disciples shouted excitedly, completely ignoring Lin Hanzhou standing to the side, and rushed towards Jiang Ling one after another.
In their eyes, a stray dog from a fallen family and a mortal pretty boy with no spiritual energy fluctuations were simply easy prey delivered to their doorstep!
However, just as their hands were about to touch Jiang Ling...
"Noisy."
Two words.
It floated lightly out of Lin Hanzhou's mouth.
There were no earth-shattering explosions.
There was no dazzling light.
There wasn't even a wisp of wind.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Those few Lieyang Sect disciples who rushed to the front were like bubbles that had been popped.
Without warning, he exploded into clouds of blood mist.
Before he could even scream, he vanished from this world completely.
"what?"
The remaining disciple standing at the back was splattered with warm blood, and he was instantly terrified.
He stared blankly at the empty ground in front of him, then looked at Lin Hanzhou, who still looked calm and collected.
His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, his crotch instantly soaked.
"A ghost...a ghost!!!"
The disciple let out a piercing scream and scrambled up the mountain.
"Murder!"
"A demon has stormed the mountain!!"
Jiang Ling stared at the scene, her mouth slightly agape, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Although she had already witnessed Lin Hanzhou's methods before.
But seeing that terrifying ability to make words law and kill without a trace still sent a chill down her spine.
"Let's go."
Lin Hanzhou ignored the fleeing disciple, not even glancing at him.
He walked up the steps with his hands behind his back, as if he were strolling through his own backyard.
"Since we're going to collect interest, we need to do it in a big way."
"Let everyone know."
