Unrivaled Soldier in the City

In an instant, Lin Kuang’s speed increased dramatically, and under the bright night sky, his figure was not visible at all, only the sensation of a breeze passing by was felt.

"Not bad, not bad at all for speed."

Stopping his body, Lin Kuang spoke in a good mood, very satisfied with the speed of Fleeting Light and Shadow.

Thinking about it, Lin Kuang returned to the ground; the test was over, and naturally, there was no need to remain in the trees.

Taking steps, Lin Kuang prepared to return to his courtyard.

However, at that moment, within Lin Kuang’s perception, a figure was swiftly moving forward, which aroused some suspicion in Lin Kuang.

Who would be running madly late at night? Were they also testing their movement technique just like Lin Kuang?

Of course, the probability of that was obviously very small.

Thinking about it, Lin Kuang moved quickly to hide.

After Lin Kuang concealed himself, a figure swiftly passed before his eyes; Lin Kuang could clearly feel that this person was a master of the Five Energies Towards The Origin.

As the person went far, Lin Kuang thought for a moment and quickly followed.

With Lin Kuang’s current realm, his body completely merged into nature; not to mention the Five Energies Towards The Origin, even a martial artist of the Ninth Layer Ascension Realm wouldn’t sense Lin Kuang’s presence.

Lin Kuang cautiously followed behind the person from afar.

The person in front ran for more than ten miles before stopping, looking around cautiously, seemingly worried about being discovered.

Lin Kuang remained hidden on a large tree, and that person didn’t see Lin Kuang at all.

After a careful scan and finding nothing unusual, the person breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, the person made a series of bird calls from their mouth, the sounds remarkably like real bird calls; if not for Lin Kuang seeing the sounds coming from a human, he would never associate them with a human.

"Indeed, there’s something strange!

Is this signaling something?"

Watching the person’s every move, Lin Kuang thought to himself.

Thinking about it, Lin Kuang quietly lurked in the tree, silently observing.

Within a few minutes, a figure rapidly appeared, standing in front of the initial person.

The newcomer was dressed in black, a veil covering their head, making it impossible to discern their face or even tell if they were male or female.

"Greetings, my Lord."

The person knelt on one knee, speaking respectfully to the person in black.

"Rise. Why summon me?"

Looking at the kneeling man, the person in black spoke calmly.

"Reporting to my Lord, Lin Bang Guo has broken through. His strength has reached the Ninth Layer Ascension Realm."

The kneeling man spoke again, still in a respectful tone.

Hearing this, the body of the person in black trembled slightly, clearly shocked by the news.

"A breakthrough? That’s not good news.

It seems we must act ahead of schedule."

The person in black said blandly, their tone somewhat cold.

The kneeling man remained silent, merely kneeling respectfully.

"Return and inform our people to start preparing. We move tomorrow."

The person in black instructed.

Hearing this, the kneeling man nodded, "Yes, my Lord."

With that, the man stood up and quickly left.

Once the person left, the figure in black swiftly departed, heading deeper into the forest.

Witnessing this, a gleam shone in Lin Kuang’s eyes; he could sense the aura of darkness emanating from the person in black, undoubtedly a member of the Demon Sect!

As for the previous person, they were likely a spy for the Demon Sect.

Thinking about it, Lin Kuang immediately acted and swiftly descended from the tree, landing in front of the person.

Seeing Lin Kuang suddenly appear, the person’s expression changed dramatically, intending to raise the alarm.

However, in front of Lin Kuang, how could he allow them to sound the alarm?

Lin Kuang struck instantly, swiftly knocking the person unconscious.

After dealing with this person, Lin Kuang didn’t hesitate to utilize Fleeting Light and Shadow, pursuing in the direction the person in black left.

Lin Kuang’s perception had locked onto the person in black; they had no chance of escape.

Using Fleeting Light and Shadow, Lin Kuang reached an extreme speed, and soon enough, he saw the figure of the person in black running fast ahead.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang didn’t rush to act; the person in black was very strong, nearly reaching the Ninth Layer of Ascent.

Their strength was comparable to that of Nangong Wentian and others.

Of course, if Lin Kuang decided to strike, he believed he could handle the opponent.

However, Lin Kuang also knew clearly that the person in black wasn’t acting alone; there was certainly a hideout they belonged to, and Lin Kuang’s aim was to let the person in black lead him to their hideout.

At the hideout, Lin Kuang planned to uproot them all; that was his true goal.

The person in black didn’t sense Lin Kuang’s existence at all. They kept moving forward swiftly, occasionally glancing back, displaying caution and carefulness.

If it had been someone other than Lin Kuang, they might have been detected.

After running a few miles, the person in black stopped, and Lin Kuang quickly hid himself again.

The person in black paused, looked around, and seeing no one, continued forward, entering a basin ahead.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang fully activated his perception, encompassing the entire basin.

Once he perceived the situation within the basin, Lin Kuang’s expression subtly changed.

"There are over a dozen people here, the weakest of which are half-step Ninth Layer Ascension martial artists!

Is this the Demon Sect’s foundation? How could they have so many experts?!"

Lin Kuang thought in disbelief.

Were it not for witnessing it firsthand, Lin Kuang wouldn’t believe the Demon Sect had these experts, it was simply too astounding.

"Phew, it seems they have grand plans.

Luckily, I discovered them in advance; otherwise, they could have caused us unimaginable harm."

Lin Kuang quietly thought to himself.

Thinking about it more, Lin Kuang felt excited.

He hadn’t taken action in so long, his hands itched.

Moreover, with so many experts around, Lin Kuang could thoroughly test his prowess, as combat was the best way to measure strength!

With that thought, Lin Kuang’s lips curled into a smile, his handsome face beaming with confidence.

"Apologies, everyone, but you’ll all have to serve as my grindstone."

Lin Kuang said lightly.

The next moment, Lin Kuang’s figure openly appeared amidst the forest, striding towards the basin ahead.

As Lin Kuang revealed himself, the dozen experts in the basin naturally sensed Lin Kuang’s presence, especially the one in black who had just returned.

"Someone actually tailed us? Damn!"

The leader couldn’t help but curse.
