The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 948: After modification: Chapter 948 Confirming Location

Before Ouyang Lin, the Temple Masters had no chance at all.

They were merely Emperor Realm Practitioners, while Ouyang Lin was a Half-step Void God. The gap between them was enormous.

So, it wasn’t that the Temple Masters were afraid of death. If there was even a sliver of a chance, they would fight to the death. But now, they could only endure and wait for an opportunity.

But they knew that such an opportunity was slim. The Heavenly Origin Continent was near collapse, and other continents were in similar conditions, even the Despair Abyss was ravaged in the same way. Who else in this world could stand up against the terrifying Mr. Zhong?

Resistance could lead to only one outcome — death.

The entire Holy Hall echoed with Ouyang Lin’s rampant laughter.

Suddenly, Ouyang Lin stopped laughing and looked at the six kneeling Temple Masters.

”Tell me, how is the pursuit going?” Ouyang Lin’s voice was deep and filled with cruelty.

”Holy Master!”

”We are doing our best, but we haven’t found any trace of the escapees yet,” said the Eight Temple Master Min Huo.

By escapees, he meant some people from the Splendid Dojo.

When Ouyang Lin first came to the Holy City, it was Saint Master Shen Chong who led the initial resistance, and many Emperor Realm Practitioners from Splendid Dojo participated. But they couldn’t hold for long before Ouyang Lin broke through their defenses.

Many died on the spot.

Some from the Splendid Dojo escaped the Holy City and hid.

Knowing that the Splendid Dojo was created by Jing Yan, Ouyang Lin ordered a manhunt after taking control of the Holy Palace.

”Are you fooling me?”

”It’s been so long, and you haven’t made any progress?” Ouyang Lin squinted his eyes.

”I don’t want to hear any excuses. I’ll give you three more days. If you can’t give me satisfactory results by then, I’ll kill you all myself,” Ouyang Lin growled.

Min Huo and the other Temple Masters’ expressions became tense.

They hadn’t really been trying to track down the Splendid Dojo remnants. What they had been doing was more for show.

But Ouyang Lin’s patience was running out.

He gave them three more days. If they continued with their pretense, Ouyang Lin would kill them.

The six Temple Masters did not think Ouyang Lin was bluffing or trying to scare them. Since he broke into the Holy City, Ouyang Lin had killed many.

He would kill anyone who displeased him, without hesitation.

Killing came easily to Ouyang Lin, without any pressure. Even if the Martial Artists of the Heavenly Origin Continent were all dead, Ouyang Lin wouldn’t bat an eyelid.

”Holy Master! The people from Splendid Dojo might have already fled far from the Holy City, hiding throughout the Continent. It’s not easy to find them,” Min Huo said bravely.

”Hmph, don’t give me such excuses. If you can’t handle such a small task, what use are you to me?” Ouyang Lin waved dismissively.

Min Huo and the other Temple Masters fell silent.

At that moment, Ouyang Lin’s gaze changed slightly as he took out a Communication Crystal Stone.

There was a new message in the Crystal Stone.

”Hmm? Who is this?” Ouyang Lin checked the message, confused.

The person who sent this message had no Divine Soul Imprint in Ouyang Lin’s Crystal Stone. The message asked for his location.

”Who are you?” Ouyang Lin immediately responded.

Jing Yan in Lanqu County City received Ouyang Lin’s reply.

It was Jing Yan who asked for Ouyang Lin’s location using Duan Yin’s Communication Crystal Stone, which had Ouyang Lin’s Divine Soul Imprint.

Getting Ouyang Lin’s message, Jing Yan closed his eyes and sensed carefully.

”Indeed, he is in Holy City.” With this message, Jing Yan confirmed Ouyang Lin’s location.

Communication Crystal Stones transmit messages through the Power of Laws. With his current abilities, Jing Yan could determine Ouyang Lin’s location. He had suspected Ouyang Lin was in Holy City and sent the message to confirm.

”Whoosh!” Jing Yan activated Sky Wings and flew toward the Holy City.

Inside the Holy Hall.

”Alright, you may all leave!” After waiting for a moment and seeing no new message, Ouyang Lin waved the six Temple Masters away.

Despite being puzzled by the unfamiliar message, he didn’t think much of it. He didn’t suspect that the person sending it was Jing Yan. To him, even though Jing Yan was alive, he must have been in hiding, not daring to show himself. He couldn’t imagine that Jing Yan was actively seeking him out.

Min Huo and the other Temple Masters stood up and left the Holy Mountain.

”What should we do now?” The Seventh Temple Master Leng Hongying looked worriedly at Min Huo and the others.

”Ouyang Lin only gave us three days.”

”Yes, if we can’t satisfy him in three days, he will definitely kill us.”

”But... we can’t just hunt down the people from Splendid Dojo. Hall Master Jing Yan was kind to us; we can’t repay him with betrayal.”

”Sigh, we don’t even know if Hall Master Jing Yan is alive or dead. This disaster started from the Despair Abyss and swept the entire world. I’m afraid Hall Master Jing Yan might not have survived,” said the Third Temple Master Kui Long with a sigh.

”Even if Hall Master Jing Yan is alive, he is powerless. Ouyang Lin alone is not someone he can contend with. Although Hall Master Jing Yan reached the Saint Realm, Ouyang Lin is a Half-step Void God. And behind him is Mr. Zhong, whose power is even greater. It’s unimaginable why Mr. Zhong would commit such terrible acts.”

”Talking about it is pointless. We need to think about how to deal with this!”

”How to deal with it? Let’s take it one day at a time! Anyway, I won’t hunt the people from Splendid Dojo,” Min Huo said firmly. ”Even if it means death, I won’t hunt them.”

”Neither will I,” Leng Hongying agreed.

”Why don’t we flee? We could escape from the Holy City and hide somewhere. It wouldn’t be easy for Ouyang Lin to find us then. Besides, staying here as Temple Masters is meaningless,” Kui Long suggested.

Hearing his suggestion, the other Temple Masters’ eyes lit up.

Kui Long’s idea seemed good. The Heavenly Origin Continent was in such chaos, continuing as Temple Masters held no meaning.

”Let’s discuss it in detail. We must leave the Holy City without alerting anyone. If Ouyang Lin gets wind of our plan, he will kill us immediately,” Min Huo said in a low voice.
