Chapter 353: Sins are monstrous, bloody battle is coming

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the deserted mountain gate. Chang Qing and Lu Jin stood there and looked at it. The evening breeze blowing towards them was a bit bleak.

The three-day deadline is about to end, and only 12 disciples are willing to come back. The remaining 30 either turn a blind eye or make excuses.

Until late at night, Chang Qing and Lu Jin were waiting silently outside the door. Even though they already knew the result, they still waited until 12 o'clock before turning around and leaving.

The disciples who had rekindled their life flames left one after another during these few days. From beginning to end, there were no more restrictions, and the whole process took less than 10 minutes.

As elders, Lu Jin and Chang Qing never forget to remind them to walk the right path, do good deeds, and keep the Trinity Law in mind.

In the soul chamber, 19 life fires were rekindled, while 9 were still dim. They were all core disciples who had reached the third level of rebirth. Some of them were traveling, some were in seclusion, and had no time to come back for the time being.

Chang Qing held in his hand a compass that was as clear as water and as cold as ice. It contained densely packed starlight particles. It was actually a magical tool made by Zhuge Yu himself - the Xuanzhen Qi Pan.

Each leaping Qi point represents a disciple. As long as it is melted in the strange disk, it will not be blocked by the mountain protection formation and can enter and leave the sect freely.

Chang Qing raised his hand. His expression was calm, with almost no emotional fluctuations. He wiped out the Qi points one by one, permanently eliminating the identities of those disciples.

"If we don't share the same ideals, we can't work together."

"From today on, those 30 people are no longer members of our Trinity sect."

"Jun Ze, Mu Ci, Yue Feng, Lu Lin, Li Yan, from now on, if anyone who is expelled from the sect contacts you for any reason, do not respond. If anyone is found doing evil, just execute him."

"Yes, disciples understand!" the five people said in unison with solemn expressions.

Afterwards, Lu Jin also received news from Su Nianlin.

"Mr. Lu, we have found some clues about the two people you are looking for, but we haven't found their exact real-time locations yet."

"The information we have learned so far is all due to their disadvantages during April and May. If you want to listen, I suggest you prepare yourself mentally and don't get too angry."

Su Nianlin's tone was cautious and serious. When he first received the report from his subordinates, he was also shocked.

"Go ahead."

"In early April, Ming Xuan hunted four Level 4 awakeners in the North China area. A total of 4 people died in the affected streets;"

"On the 6th, Yan Zhi plundered the abilities of Level 2 and 3 awakeners in the Central China area, and attacked the Security Council branch with four notorious evil cultivators, causing 4 casualties and the destruction of two Class C mechas."

"On the 12th, two people appeared in a city on the edge of the South China region and clashed with a Level 4 Awakener. They overwhelmed and won, and 360 people were involved in the disaster."

"On the 17th, the two of them headed north and joined the Awakener force 'Xianquan', working alongside the six Level 6 Awakeners including the founder Gu Yinnian, commanding hundreds of Level 3 Awakeners and thousands of Level 2 Awakeners."

After hearing the above information, Lu Jin's eyes turned cold and murderous.

As a frontline fighter of the Security Council, he knew the "Xianquan" clearly. This was undoubtedly the remnant of the former Quanxing Party, an organization that was resurrected after being injected with G1 in the new century.

They continue to use past teachings and even expand them further, trying to seize all the resources in the world, trample on the bones of the people, and rob and plunder in order to achieve the most absolute and free self.

Chang Qing who was standing by was also so angry that the veins in his right hand holding the teacup bulged. He was angry for those people who died in vain. At first he didn't understand what kind of force "Xianquan" was. After Lu Jin's introduction, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Good! Good! Good!!"

"These two evil beasts are really reckless. Do they think that our teachers are old and can't control them? If they are caught, even if they are skinned alive and sent to hell, they can't atone for their sins."

"What happened next?" Lu Jin motioned Su Nianlin to continue.

"On April 4, Mingxuan, Yanzhi, and Xianquan, two Level 22 Awakeners, tried to seize the authority of a Class B mecha in the southwest area, but failed and a fight broke out. Five Class B mechas from surrounding cities rushed over to help, but severely injured four people and failed to capture them."

"On May 5, Ming Xuan went to the coast of the East China Sea with a team of Level 4 Awakeners and attacked a provincial warehouse storing G3 reagents, causing over 1 casualties and 2000 reagents lost."

"On May 5, Yan Zhi, Gu Yinnian, and Wei Zhenquan, the three leaders of Xianquan, met with the leader of another faction, 'Kuhai', for a secret talk. Unfortunately, our informant was not high enough and was unable to infiltrate and obtain intelligence."

"After receiving the latest mission, the undercover agent planted in Xianquan recalled that he had heard from other members that the two leaders had white hair when they first arrived. Following this clue, he narrowly confirmed their identities."

"Moreover, when the two of them were traveling, their appearance was completely inconsistent with what you provided to us. It should be that they were covered up by some kind of supernatural power." After Su Nianlin finished speaking, he shared all the files including more detailed battlefield reports, pictures, and silhouettes and recordings taken secretly by informants.

Lu Jin clicked it and kept scrolling down, passing through those shocking scenes, especially the playback of the fierce battle between Class B mechas. It can be clearly seen that when the two people who were still disguised at the beginning were surrounded and seriously injured by multiple mechas, their hair showed signs of being unable to hide, and suddenly turned white, and fled in panic.

Informant: "Hey, Boss, those two new guys are really good. They defeated several leaders in a row. Do you know where they came from?"

Passerby A: "Hmm, it seems to be from Trinity College?"

Passerby Art: "Not sure, anyway, their skills look very similar. If you are not sure, just say you are the one? There are so many guys with white hair these days, maybe they are just pretending to be powerful."

This is evidence from one of the recordings, and there are dozens of scattered conversations behind it, all of which were private conversations between informants and other members of the Xianquan, asking about the identities of the two new leaders. Almost everyone is convinced that the two are from the Trinity Sect.

Lu Jin began to look at the silhouette again, and it was indeed very similar to Ming Xuan and Yan Zhi.

It was not taken with ordinary equipment, but was reproduced stroke by stroke by the informant using superb sketching skills, just like gray-white photographic paper.

After reading all the documents, Chang Qing became furious and could no longer tolerate it. He was about to go down the mountain to eliminate the demon, but was stopped by Lu Jin.

"Senior brother."

"I understand your feelings, but you can't be reckless. There are a total of 8 Level 4 Awakeners in Xianquan. Although those two beasts have not reached the third level, they are definitely very powerful. Otherwise, they would not dare to betray the sect while the master is in seclusion. I believe they have some trump cards in their hands. If they join forces with other evil beasts, they may not be inferior to you and me."

Lu Jin patiently explained to Chang Qing that the power of the awakened ones lies in their mysterious supernatural powers. Once an almost regular ability appears, even he would not dare to kill himself without authorization.

The battle at Tianshi Mansion was equally dangerous. He had no choice at the time but to fight with all his strength and kill those evil cultivators.

Now, if he took the initiative to attack the Xianquan stronghold with a similar number of powerful people, he needed to weigh the possible consequences.

The headquarters of these awakened forces are often stationed in the prosperous urban areas of super-large cities. If a real fight breaks out, it will be a catastrophe and the consequences will be disastrous.

If Senior Brother Zhuge was here, Lu Jin would dare to fight with all his might. If he was not here, there would be too many restrictions. For example, there were more than a hundred Class B mechas owned by the Security Council and the Nine Departments. If one-tenth of them were gathered together, they could uproot all the immortals.

However, they could not take action directly, because the city where the mechas were taken away might be in chaos;
Secondly, the fight between ten mechas and eight level 8 awakeners is enough to turn the area within a 4-kilometer radius into a purgatory, and the number of ordinary people implicated is incalculable.

"Then how long do we have to wait?" Chang Qing did not insist on doing it, but was very calm instead.

"Three days."

Lu Jin had a strong premonition, and he firmly believed:
"When I visited my uncle in seclusion earlier, I could sense that he would soon be out of seclusion."

"After three days, if he is still in seclusion, I will go with you in this battle, Senior Brother. No matter what the cost, I will personally execute those two evil beasts."

"What's more, we are rushing down the mountain now. It's not easy to hunt them down without any clues about them."

"It would be better to prepare for the battle in the remaining few days, and then have Vice President Su try to find their headquarters within a limited time. Although the informant has been planted there, the territory there is special, and there are unknown means to conceal the location. Except for showing up when going out on missions, the undercover agent does not know where he is at other times."

"Xiao Lu, you're right. I'll listen to you."

Chang Qing agreed with his idea. Over the past seventy years, their uncle had often told them to be modest and prudent. Even though they had cultivated to the third level of rebirth, the two of them did not dare to be arrogant or reckless.

At this moment, Su Nianlin said:
"Mr. Lu, the final test of the ability lock has passed. In four days, it will be fully promoted in the country. By then, it will definitely cause fierce resistance from those high-level awakeners. You and your senior brother can take this opportunity to fight together with the Heavenly Master to defeat the Immortals. At that time, the battle will determine the outcome and deter other villains."

"Hmm? Lao Zhang, are you going to take charge of Xianquan's mission?"

Lu Jin has been very busy these days. He hunts awakened ones outside during the day and waits for disciples to return at night. He has not paid much attention to the situation of his old friend.

"Yes, the day before yesterday, two Level 4 awakeners from Xianquan were causing trouble in the south. They looted some awakeners with high potential who were detected by us and then disappeared. The old Heavenly Master is currently searching for their whereabouts and is ready to fight at any time, just like you are confronting the Immaculate Palace."

"As for the bitter sea, Elder Wei is in charge."

Su Nianlin sighed with regret. Among the Level 4 awakeners, only the vice president and president of the Security Council were qualified to fight head-on. Other masters could not even intervene.

There are already more than a hundred Level 4 awakeners on file nationwide, but the Security Council has only 10 people barely holding up the effort, which is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
