"This isn't dead yet." Green Fire Ghost's body, surrounded by blazing green flames, withdrew them, erasing the air currents around. In their joint effort, Dai Gangzi was captured in one move.

  "Sect Leader, he's alive, I'll leave him to you." Elder Lushan, with a sphere of yellow light enveloping in his hand, directly threw Dai Gangzi towards Li Lin.

  "Thank you both for your hard work." Li Lin smiled with pursed lips. Dai Gangzi, a three-star Martial Commander, was captured in one move. The strength of Green Fire Ghost and Elder Lushan was truly extraordinary. It could only be considered Dai Gangzi's bad luck.

  Inside the dark hall of Flying Spirit Gate, at this moment, Ouyang Lengji, Huangfu Qisong, Ghost Shadow Assassin Ye Fei, and others were all seated.

  "The Sect Leader has arrived," Ouyang Lengji said.

  Everyone stood up. At this moment, outside the great hall, Li Lin's figure had already walked into the hall, holding Dai Gangzi, who was completely restrained.

  "We greet the Sect Leader." Everyone saluted, looking at Dai Gangzi as if no one felt surprised. With Elder Lushan and Green Fire Ghost working together, even Old Ghost Dai from Ghost Martial Sect would have a fighting chance, let alone Dai Gangzi.

  "Ouyang Hall Master, I'll leave Dai Gangzi to you," Li Lin said lightly.

  "Yes, Sect Leader," Ouyang Lengji responded.

  "Flying Knife Ouyang Lengji, Ghost Shadow Assassin Ye Fei, Iron Fist Huangfu Qisong, Li Chi Zheng..." Although Dai Gangzi was restrained, his eyes could still see, and when his gaze landed on these Martial Commanders in the hall, his eyes filled with shock. These people were not unknown in the ancient domain, and he naturally knew some of them. At this moment, his heart couldn't fathom that within Flying Spirit Gate, there were so many strong figures.

  "Dai Gangzi, you really aren't lucky. Dai Daozi sent you here just for us to kill..." Ouyang Lengji looked at Dai Gangzi and said.

  "Ouyang Hall Master, you talk too much." Before Ouyang Lengji could finish, Li Lin immediately scolded.

  "Yes, Sect Leader." Ouyang Lengji immediately stopped, looking at Dai Gangzi with sympathy.

  At this moment, Dai Gangzi's face changed drastically. His body couldn't move, and the true energy inside him was completely sealed. His facial muscles twitched, and although his voice wasn't restrained, he trembled, "Who exactly are you people, and why are you targeting my Ghost Martial Sect?"

  "Dai Gangzi, it seems you're the only one who doesn't know. Targeting your Ghost Martial Sect doesn't interest me. Ouyang Hall Master, take him away," Li Lin said indifferently.

  "Yes, Sect Leader." Ouyang Lengji immediately left the hall with Dai Gangzi.

  Watching Ouyang Lengji leave, Ghost Shadow Assassin Ye Fei said, "Sect Leader, will Dai Gangzi take the bait?"

  "Whether he takes the bait or not doesn't matter. If he does, let him live a bit longer; we can avoid a lot of trouble. If not, we'll have a bit of trouble, but I hope it will work," Li Lin smiled with pursed lips, a strange light flashing in his eyes. "He should take the bait. I believe there are people who aren't afraid of death, but Dai Gangzi is definitely not one of them."

  "Sect Leader, what exactly are you planning? Can you let me know in advance? Otherwise, I'm going to be sick from the suspense," Huangfu Qisong looked at Li Lin with eyes full of confusion.

  "Huangfu Hall Master, you'll know when the time comes. Your task now is to develop the Martial Hall well. I believe it won't be long before your Martial Hall becomes very useful," Li Lin said with a smile.

  After Li Lin spoke, he turned his gaze to Ye Fei, "Hall Master Ye, are you confident in your voice-changing skill?"

  Ghost Shadow Assassin Ye Fei, with a mature charm, looked at Li Lin and said, "Sect Leader, I'm 80% confident."

  "Eighty percent, that's worth a try," Li Lin said lightly.

  "My lord, what about those from Ghost Martial Sect outside Flying Spirit Gate now?" Li Xiao Bai asked.

  "Dai Gangzi doesn't return, they dare not enter Flying Spirit Gate, nor dare to leave. Let's have Ouyang Hall Master give Dai Gangzi a few days of hardship first. People only truly seize any chance for life when facing the fear of death. Then, anything can be done," Li Lin said with a light smile.

  Looking at Li Lin, Ye Fei and her sister looked at each other, their eyes showing some fluctuations.

  "Ah..."

  Suddenly, a scream came from somewhere, sounding like Dai Gangzi's voice, full of agony and pain as if he was enduring unbearable torture.

  "Ouyang Hall Master has a type of marrow-eating blood ant that can burrow into people's orifices and pores, enter the marrow and blood vessels, feeding on marrow and blood but not taking lives. It seems Ouyang Hall Master has used these marrow-eating blood ants," Ghost Shadow Assassin said lightly.

  "Ouyang Hall Master's methods of torture are not less terrifying than those of the marrow-eating blood ants. Dai Gangzi probably has his share of suffering," Li Chi Zheng said.

  Several hours later, within Flying Spirit Gate, Li Lin's figure appeared in the backyard courtyard.

  "How is it going?" Dong Wu Ming asked Li Lin in the courtyard.

  "Everything is proceeding according to plan," Li Lin said with a slight smile.

  "How confident are you?" Dong Wu Ming asked, also looking curiously at Li Lin.

  "At least 80% confident. Dai Gangzi is not willing to die," Li Lin said lightly. "After Dai Gangzi takes the bait, it will be troublesome for Elder Dong to take a long trip."

  As Li Lin spoke, his gaze turned towards the mountains behind, as if some decisions were still undecided.

  "If I have to do the killing alone, it won't be easy. If it really comes down to it, we'll include Green Fire Ghost and Elder Lushan in the plan. With a fight, we should be able to do it," Dong Wu Ming said lightly.

  "Okay." Li Lin nodded slightly.

  Moments later, in the mountains, Li Lin began to practice martial arts again, ignoring the people from Ghost Martial Sect outside Flying Spirit Gate.

  Inside Flying Spirit Gate, most of the disciples knew that thousands from Ghost Martial Sect were surrounding the gate. Each one wanted to rush out but was scolded by the elders and protectors.

  "When will the Vice Sect Leader return?" Outside Flying Spirit Gate, on the back of a flying beast, all the elders and protectors of Ghost Martial Sect looked puzzled.

  "What do we do now? I heard that Flying Spirit Gate has many beasts, including sixth-order beasts. If Flying Spirit Gate starts to attack us, we might not be able to resist."

  "What can we do? Let's wait for the Vice Sect Leader to return."

  "Could the Vice Sect Leader be in danger?"

  "With the Vice Sect Leader's three-star Martial Commander strength and wind attribute, ordinary people can't keep the Vice Sect Leader."

  Amidst the discussion of the elders of Ghost Martial Sect, the disciples' hearts became restless over time. However, Flying Spirit Gate remained inactive, relaxing the tense nerves of Ghost Martial Sect a bit.

  At night, Li Lin returned from the mountains, smiling as if satisfied with the day's cultivation.

  In his room, Li Lin continued to immerse himself in cultivation. With the recent rapid absorption and breakthroughs, Li Lin started to stabilize his cultivation whenever he had time.

  A silent night passed in the tense atmosphere, and Flying Spirit Gate remained calm.

  The next morning, in the mountains behind Flying Spirit Gate, the waterfall poured down like a curtain, crashing into the deep pool and causing waves to spread.

  Beside the waterfall, on a luminous rock, Li Lin sat cross-legged, surrounded not by five-colored light but by a dense wind attribute light.

  Moments later, Li Lin's figure suddenly moved, crossing the water surface instantly. As his hands formed seals, carrying true energy, they danced into a phantom. Wherever his body passed, the air seemed to be swept by a gust.

  Time passed slowly from morning until evening, with Li Lin completely immersed in this mysterious state. With each hand seal change, it seemed almost possible to twist space, and his speed increased.

  At this moment, Li Lin was fully focused on this cultivation, as if merging with the wind attribute in a mysterious realm, feeling no passage of time. Even when a beautiful figure approached the waterfall, Li Lin was unaware.

  As the final hand seal concluded, and the true energy vibrated, Li Lin's speed increased further, his hands moving so fast they seemed to distort space.

  In this state, Li Lin unconsciously made progress in a mysterious way, yet he couldn't feel it himself.

  "Bai Ling sister, the boss seems different today." Near the waterfall, little dragon's small body circled around a beautiful figure's shoulder, staring in surprise at Li Lin in the air.

  "He has entered a state of attribute comprehension. With his level of strength, entering this state is very difficult. We shouldn't disturb him. This state is rare and beneficial," Bai Ling looked at Li Lin in the air, surprised.

  In the air, Li Lin's figure moved continuously, appearing in another place instantly, with afterimages nearly invisible, elusive.

  "Shh!"

  In the air, Li Lin's figure suddenly stood still, eyes closed, entering an extremely mysterious state.
