At this moment, Tiequan Huangfu Qisong and Li Chi were both quite surprised. They had seen these two individuals before; they were the same elderly men from Lushan and the Green Fire Ghost who had demanded their Xuan-level martial techniques that day.

  Simultaneously, Elder Lushan and the Green Fire Ghost were also extremely surprised. After arriving at this dark hall and seeing the Ghost Fairy sisters, they were already quite amazed. However, when they entered the great hall and saw all the martial commanders present, their expressions became even more pleased.

  "The auction of the Lingfei Sect, you... you and Flying Spirit Gate..." Elder Lushan and the Green Fire Ghost were suddenly at a loss for words, staring at the Ye sisters of the Ghost Shadow Rakshasa, as well as Tiequan Huangfu Qisong, Li Chi, and the others. Seeing everyone present, they realized that the people at the Lingfei Sect's auction that day were actually from the Flying Spirit Gate.

  "Lords of the hall, let me introduce to you, our Flying Spirit Gate has gained two new elders, the Green Fire Ghost and Elder Lushan. With them, the strength of our Flying Spirit Gate has now become even stronger," Li Lin said indifferently to the people who were puzzled by the appearance of Elder Lushan and the Green Fire Ghost.

  "So, they are Elder Lushan and the Green Fire Ghost," Ouyang Lengji and the others from the Ghost Shadow Rakshasa were suddenly a bit surprised.

  In the ancient domain, Elder Lushan and the Green Fire Ghost were absolutely notorious figures. Hearing Li Lin say that these two notorious figures had joined the Flying Spirit Gate, naturally made everyone feel quite puzzled.

  "Have met Elder Lushan, Elder Green Fire," the people from the Ghost Shadow Rakshasa bowed in greeting. The elders of the Flying Spirit Gate naturally held a higher status than them.

  "No need for formalities," Elder Lushan and the Green Fire Ghost said lightly to everyone, then turned their gazes to Li Lin, seeming extremely puzzled.

  "Elders, the Lingfei Sect is also the Flying Spirit Gate. The auction that day was all conducted in secret by the Flying Spirit Gate," Li Lin said with a slight smile, knowing the confusion of the two.

  "Are you saying they are all from the Flying Spirit Gate?" The Green Fire Ghost stared at the Ye sisters of the Ghost Shadow Rakshasa, Tiequan Huangfu Qisong, Flying Knife Ouyang Lengji, and the others, and asked.

  "Exactly. The Flying Spirit Gate secretly operates the Dark Hall, Martial Hall, Punishment Hall, Gold Hall, Spirit Hall, and Outer Hall. These are all the hall masters and represent the true strength of our Flying Spirit Gate," Li Lin said lightly, then introduced everyone to Elder Lushan and the Green Fire Ghost.

  "By the way, does that mean the 160 million gold coins I auctioned off also went to the Flying Spirit Gate?" Elder Lushan seemed to remember something and then asked Li Lin.

  "Exactly. The 160 million gold coins Elder Lushan spent on buying the God Transforming Pill actually went to the Flying Spirit Gate," Li Lin said with a smile.

  "Flying Spirit Gate, Lingfei Sect, I wonder how many people were deceived," Elder Lushan sighed suddenly.

  At this moment, Elder Lushan and the Green Fire Ghost had a new understanding of the Flying Spirit Gate. They had never thought that the strength of the Flying Spirit Gate was hidden to such an extent, and that there were so many martial commanders in it.

  After everyone was seated, they converged their puzzled expressions. The Ghost Shadow Rakshasa's Ye sisters' beautiful eyes turned serious, and Ye addressed Li Lin, "Sect leader, according to the information obtained by our Dark Hall, the people from the Ghost Martial Sect will arrive at the Flying Spirit Gate within two days. How should we respond now?"

  "What do you all think?" Li Lin's gaze remained unchanged as he looked at everyone in the great hall.

  "Sect leader, why fear the Ghost Martial Sect? We just need to eliminate the Ghost Martial Sect. With our current strength, we don't fear them at all," Huangfu Qisong said.

  "Dealing with the Ghost Martial Sect isn't too difficult, but it's hard to guarantee that our Flying Spirit Gate won't suffer significant damage," Ouyang Lengji said.

  "Now doesn't seem like the right time to take major action against the Ghost Martial Sect," the Ghost Shadow Rakshasa's Ye said.

  Li Xiaobai and Liu Yishou could not interject in this matter and remained silent.

  Li Lin's gaze shifted from everyone to the Ghost Shadow Rakshasa's Ye, "Hall Master Ye, what's your opinion?"

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Ye was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting Li Lin to ask for her opinion specifically. Then, with a smile, her beautiful eyes intentionally or unintentionally met Li Lin's gaze, making her stunning face appear even more charming, "Sect leader, our opponent is not the Ghost Martial Sect. If the Ghost Martial Sect is not eliminated, our only opponent will be the Ghost Martial Sect. If the Ghost Martial Sect is eliminated, our opponents will increase, and each one will not be inferior to the Ghost Martial Sect, unless our Flying Spirit Gate has absolute strength. Otherwise, it's not advisable to provoke them."

  Li Lin remained silent, then his gaze landed on Ye Mei, "Vice Hall Master Ye, do you have any opinions?"

  Ye Mei slightly raised her head, her slender eyebrows on her melon-seed face adding a touch of elegant tranquility to her appearance. Her eyes, like clear water, looked up at Li Lin, "If the sect leader is asking this way, then you must have already made a decision. Please share your plan with us."

  Li Lin smiled slightly, inwardly a bit startled. The Ye sisters really were extraordinary.

  "Hall Master Ye, can you confirm that the only martial commander from the Ghost Martial Sect coming here is Dai Gangzi?" Li Lin asked Ye again.

  "In the Ghost Martial Sect, our Dark Hall has expended a lot of effort and planted undercover agents. It should be correct; the leader only has the strength of Dai Gangzi," the Ghost Shadow Rakshasa's Ye said.

  "Elder Lushan, Elder Green Fire, how about you two take action this time?" Li Lin said to Elder Lushan and the Green Fire Ghost.

  "That Dai Gangzi, a third-level martial commander, I alone can easily kill him," the Green Fire Ghost's skeletal face twitched slightly, saying sinisterly.

  "Of course, I know that Elder Green Fire's strength can easily kill Dai Gangzi, but I don't need him dead; I need him alive. Just to be safe, it's better for both Elder Lushan and Elder Green Fire to take action together, to capture Dai Gangzi quickly and efficiently. We can't afford any mistakes in capturing Dai Gangzi; it all depends on you two elders," Li Lin said lightly.

  "I have no problem," Elder Lushan said. A third-level martial master, he naturally did not take it seriously.

  "It's just a small effort," the Green Fire Ghost said.

  "Ouyang Hall Master, your Punishment Hall can make a third-level martial commander wish for death but unable to die, right?" Li Lin then said to Ouyang Lengji.

  "Making him wish he could live but unable to die, and wish for death but unable to die, is absolutely no problem," Ouyang Lengji said.

  Li Lin smiled slightly, thinking to himself that whether this opportunity could be successful depended on luck. If it could be successful, the path of the Flying Spirit Gate would be much smoother in the future.

  Late at night, after returning to the courtyard, Li Lin raised his eyebrows, seemingly pondering something, then began to practice cultivation. After a moment, he was enveloped in a circle of earthy yellow light.

  The next morning, when the sun shone through the fresh mist, gently sprinkling on all things in the world, creating a delightful scene. When the dazzling morning glow appeared in the east, the air was filled with a thin mist like a light veil. On the river in front of the Flying Spirit mountain range, the eastern sunlight cast a swath of rosy light, shining with golden brilliance on the water surface, occasionally accompanied by the crisp sound of bird calls.

  In the back mountain of the Flying Spirit Gate, Li Lin's figure appeared, continuing to practice his martial skills. Bursts of sonic booms began to echo. When tired from practicing, Li Lin would sit cross-legged and begin to comprehend his elemental power.

  Spending the whole day in cultivation, Li Lin would return to the courtyard in the evening, the corners of his mouth revealing a slight smile, seemingly having gained something.

  Another day passed, and life in the Flying Spirit Gate was as usual, without much change. At night, Li Lin once again began to practice cultivation.

  On the third day, in the morning, Li Lin was practicing martial skills in the back mountain when a flying beast of not very large size circled above and arrived.

  "Has it finally arrived?" Li Lin looked up, his gaze flickering, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

  Dozens of miles outside the Flying Spirit Gate, a vast array of iron cavalry raised a huge cloud of dust as they galloped along, attracting quite a lot of attention.

  "It's the people from the Ghost Martial Sect, on the flying beast above, seems to be the vice sect master of the Ghost Martial Sect, Dai Gangzi."

  "So many people, with such a menacing momentum, what does the Ghost Martial Sect intend to do?"

  "Ahead is the Flying Spirit Gate. No need to guess, these people from the Ghost Martial Sect are probably heading there. Some time ago, I heard that the Flying Spirit Gate annihilated the Tianyi Sect and even killed an elder of the Ghost Martial Sect, probably angering the Ghost Martial Sect. With this momentum, Dai Gangzi's personal visit is to annihilate the Flying Spirit Gate."

  "Let's go see. The Flying Spirit Gate is in trouble now, with Dai Gangzi coming in person."

  Outside the Flying Spirit Gate, everything seemed extremely quiet, when suddenly, a rumbling sound approached from afar.

  "Clang clang..."

  The sound of iron cavalry galloping came roaring, and after a moment, two thousand figures appeared in front of the Flying Spirit Gate, kicking up dust into the air. In the lead, there was also a huge flying beast.

  "Stop..."

  Moments later, these two thousand figures had already approached within a kilometer of the Flying Spirit Gate, and the iron cavalry abruptly stopped, creating a huge wave of wind that swept up dust.

  In the sky, the flying beast circled at low altitude, with more than twenty gazes staring at the inside of the Flying Spirit Gate.

  "Vice Sect Master, this is the Flying Spirit Gate," said an old man in a yellow robe on the back of the flying beast.

  Dai Gangzi's expression darkened, his mind seemingly probing something.

  "Dai Gangzi, we meet again," a light laughter came, and from within the Flying Spirit Gate, a massive flying beast took off, it was the Snow Lion with Heavenly Wings.

  "Roar roar..."

  The Snow Lion with Heavenly Wings roared, its massive sound wave mixed with the pressure of a demonic beast quickly spreading.

  "Woo woo..."

  Immediately, the horses on the ground neighed in distress, and the flying beast ridden by Dai Gangzi in the sky was also panicked, trembling all over. Only after the roar of the Snow Lion with Heavenly Wings disappeared did it recover.
