Wu Dong: I, Lin Langtian, will not play a supporting role

"Kid, who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Dark Horse Gang? If you know what's good for you, get out of here immediately to avoid getting yourself into trouble."

Not long after Lin Langtian appeared, the dozens of black shadowy men riding tall horses also came to their senses, stared at Lin Langtian with sinister eyes, and shouted.

"Senior." Seeing this, the girl hurriedly hid behind Lin Langtian and said in fear.

"Haha, don't worry, since I promised you, I won't go back on my word."

Lin Langtian smiled and said that although these horse bandits were numerous and powerful, none of them had the strength of even a Shengxuan realm master, so he naturally would not take them seriously.

The girl heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. Although she didn't know Lin Langtian's strength, she could only try any possible means to help him.

"Kill him, you ignorant fellow!"

When the dozen or so black shadows saw that Lin Langtian was determined to take action, a cold light suddenly flashed in their eyes, and they moved and rushed towards the latter like lightning.

However, just as they were about to draw their swords, Lin Langtian waved his sleeves and a sharp flaming sword suddenly swept out.

As the flaming sword flashed past, the bodies of the dozen or so black shadows suddenly stiffened. A thin line of blood emerged from their throats, and then their bodies all fell down.

This sudden change happened in a flash. Before the girl could even catch her breath, she was stunned to see these vicious horse bandits being dealt with so easily.

"Little girl, what's your name?" Lin Langtian looked at the stunned girl and asked with a smile.

“Senior…” The girl looked at Lin Langtian timidly, the shock in her eyes lingering for a long time, and then she said respectfully: “My name is Ling Zhi.”

"My name is Lin Langtian. Take me to save your father and others now..." Lin Langtian said with a smile.

Ling Zhi heard this and was immediately filled with surprise. She hesitated for a moment and said, "But Senior Lin Langtian..."

"Call me Brother Langtian." Lin Langtian waved his hand.

“Brother Linlin Langtian, the ones who went to arrest my father were two leaders of the horse bandits. They are extremely powerful, and they are two powerful men who have reached the minor success of the Shengxuan realm.” Ling Zhi said with a nervous face.

“Two people who have reached the minor success stage of the Shengxuan realm…” Hearing this, Lin Langtian was startled, then he smiled and shook his head, saying, “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

Seeing Lin Langtian's confident expression, Ling Zhi's face lit up with joy and she nodded quickly. She bandaged the wound hastily and then hurriedly led the way.

In another corner of the forest, in an open space, two groups of people were confronting each other fiercely. There was a strong hostility between the two sides, but it was obvious that the large number of black shadows riding on beast horses had the upper hand.

"Haha, you want to run? Today, no one from your Fiery Mercenary Group will be able to escape!"

A middle-aged man with a scar on his face rode out slowly and grinned at the group of people who were stopped.

There were a group of people surrounded in the middle, about fifteen or sixteen in number, led by a middle-aged man with a strong build and a calm face, but at this moment there was a hint of bitterness in his expression.

The mercenaries behind and beside the man were holding weapons, but each of their faces was extremely pale and desperate.

The middle-aged man stared at the scarred man opposite him and shouted, "Li Rui, my Fiery Mercenary Group has already given up most of the treasures, why do you, the Dark Horse Gang, have to force us so hard?

And don't forget, our Fiery Mercenaries are going to participate in the Dark Temple's ceremony. If you intercept us on the way and the Dark Temple knows about this, none of you in the Dark Horse Gang will survive!"

Upon hearing the word "Temple of Darkness", a solemn look suddenly appeared on the faces of dozens of dark shadows. It was obvious that in Beixuan Territory, the Temple of Darkness was just like the Central Dynasty, which gave people a great deterrent effect.

After a moment of silence, the scarred man sneered and said, "Your Fiery Mercenary Group is only allowed to participate in the ceremony of the Dark Temple because of the incense relationship of your ancestors. Now that so much time has passed, the Dark Temple may have already forgotten your small Fiery Mercenary Group.

It just so happens that if your Fiery Mercenary Group is destroyed, my Dark Horse Gang can also try to gain the favor of the Dark Temple, go to the Dark City, and participate in the Dark Temple's festival!"

"You're dreaming!" the middle-aged man said with a gloomy face when he heard it.

"Hmph, no matter what, today, no one from the Fiery Mercenary Group will be left alive!" said the scarred man with a grim smile.

As soon as the words fell, the scarred man sneered and waved his hand: "Kill him!"

Upon hearing the order, more than a dozen figures responded immediately, riding their horses and holding weapons, and rushed towards the remaining members of the Fiery Mercenaries.

However, when the group of horse bandits were still several feet away from the Fiery Mercenary Group, their bodies suddenly paused strangely, and then a powerful force broke through the air and finally hit them hard in the chest.

“Puff! Puff! Puff…Puff…Puff…”

The sudden heavy blow made the horse bandits' faces turn pale, and they spurted out blood. Their bodies fell to the ground like dead dogs, and they flew on the ground for more than ten meters before they slowly stopped.

This sudden change caused the clearing in the forest to become quiet in an instant. Countless people looked in astonishment at the dozen or so horse bandits who suddenly died, and their minds were a little confused.

"who is it?!"

The scarred man's expression changed, and he shouted loudly, scanning the thick fog around him with sharp eyes. The Shengxuan realm leader beside him also clenched his weapon and was alert to his surroundings.

In the forest, two figures walked out slowly, and then gradually appeared clearly in everyone's eyes.

"Father, are you okay?" Ling Zhi, who was beside Lin Langtian, looked at the middle-aged man in the field and immediately said in surprise.

“Lingzhi, why are you back again?” The middle-aged man looked at Lin Langtian in astonishment, then looked at Lingzhi, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted: “Go away!”

"Leave?" The scarred man laughed strangely, then swung his hand down fiercely, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "Kill him!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished shouting, shouts of response suddenly broke out from all around him, and then a vast amount of Yuan Power suddenly surged, and a fierce attack swept towards Lin Langtian and the other two.

Lin Langtian glanced at the attack with an indifferent expression, but did not pay any attention to it. He just walked towards the two leaders of the caravan.

Bang bang bang!
The attacks instantly approached Lin Langtian's body within several feet, and just as they were about to hit his body, the attacks suddenly solidified.

Then the middle-aged man was horrified to see that those strong men from the Dark Horse Gang suddenly exploded out of thin air. They looked as if they were crushed by invisible hands, which was extremely weird. The blood mist fell down, and Lin Langtian stopped in front of the two leaders. He smiled at the two people whose faces changed drastically, but there was a hint of coldness in that smile.

"you!"

The two horse bandit leaders looked at Lin Langtian who walked up to them with shock. The latter's smile looked like a devil under the blood mist, which made people feel chilled.

"boom!"

However, the shock on their faces only lasted for a moment before suddenly turning into hideousness.

The next moment, vast Yuan power suddenly swept out from their bodies. With a low shout, the two powerful Yuan powers gushed out, filled with strong murderous intent, and slammed towards Lin Langtian fiercely.

Lin Langtian still looked at the two of them with a faint smile on his face, without any sign of attacking. But just when the two's fierce attack was about to fall on his body, he stretched out his palm and clenched it hard, and two silver lights flashed by in an instant.

laugh!
At the moment when Lin Langtian grasped his hand, the middle-aged man and others were shocked to see that the space in front of the scarred man and the other man suddenly twisted, and two silver blades emitting silver light emerged out of thin air.

In an instant, the force of space exploded, and before the two men could even scream, their throats were cut instantly and killed.

Bang bang bang!
A blade cut their throats, and fear immediately appeared in the eyes of the two scarred men. However, this fear did not last long, and the life force of the two men slowly disappeared, and they died with their eyes open.

The entire open space became silent again at this moment. Both the middle-aged man and Ling Zhi were staring blankly at the scene in front of them. Those two Shengxuan realm powerhouses just died like this?
Lin Langtian waved his sleeves, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured: "As expected of the Space Ancestral Talisman, this Space Blade is indeed useful."

As both of them were at the minor success stage of Shengxuan realm, Lin Langtian was able to kill two warriors of the same level in seconds. In addition to his own strong foundation, the Space Ancestral Talisman also played an indispensable role.

………………

At night, the light of bonfires gradually dispelled the chill in the forest.

"Master Langtian, thank you for your help during the day."

Thinking of the methods of the young man in front of him, a look of awe appeared on the middle-aged man's face. He immediately raised the wine glass in his hand, toasted to Lin Langtian, then drank it all in one gulp and expressed gratitude.

"Haha, Captain Karon, you are too polite. I am just helping out when I see injustice. Besides, Lingzhi should have told you my conditions, so Captain Karon can treat this as a deal." Lin Langtian said with a faint smile.

After helping the Fiery Mercenary Group to deal with the Dark Horse Gang, Lin Langtian also successfully infiltrated this mercenary group. During the brief chat before, Lin Langtian also had a preliminary understanding of this Fiery Mercenary Group.

Although the Fiery Mercenary Group was prosperous for a period of time decades ago and was even allowed by the Dark Palace to participate in festivals, it has gradually declined since the death of the previous leader who was a powerful figure in the Death Profound Realm.

To this day, the declining Fiery Mercenary Group is not very large in size, and after the attack by the Dark Horse Gang, it has less than 20 members. The strongest one is the middle-aged man in front of Lin Langtian, Kalon, who has achieved a minor level of success in the Shengxuan realm.

However, because they have participated in the Dark Temple Festival, the Fiery Mercenary Group, although in decline, can still rely on the power of others for a while.

But obviously this illusory blessing will not always protect the Fiery Mercenary Group. If they had not met Lin Langtian today, the Fiery Mercenary Group would have been destroyed by a group of horse bandits.

Of course, Lin Langtian didn't care about the strength of the Fiery Mercenary Group. After getting to know each other, Lin Langtian did not forget the purpose of his coming here. He infiltrated the Fiery Mercenary Group and participated in the ceremony of the Dark Temple.

After hearing what Lin Langtian said, Caron was also stunned, and then fell silent.

Even though Lin Langtian was their savior, the festival was a grand event of the Dark Temple. If any evildoers were brought in because of him, the Fiery Mercenaries would be doomed.

Thinking of this, Karon hesitated and said, "Master Langtian, I wonder what is your purpose of participating in the festival?"

Hearing this, Lin Langtian raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood the meaning of Karon's words. The other party was obviously worried about his purpose of sneaking into the festival.

After a brief pause, Lin Langtian said half-truthfully, "To be honest, Captain Kalon, I have a younger sister who has been missing since she joined the Dark Temple two years ago. I am a little worried after not seeing her for such a long time, so I want to enter the festival to see if I can see my sister."

"Oh, Young Master Langtian's sister is a disciple of the Temple of Darkness?" Upon hearing this, Karon and the surrounding mercenaries suddenly looked frightened.

You must know that the Temple of Darkness is the absolute overlord of Beixuan Territory, and the disciples who can join the Temple of Darkness are all the geniuses of Beixuan Territory. No wonder Karon and others look like that.

After getting Lin Langtian's explanation, although Karon was still a little skeptical, but thinking of the other party's life-saving grace and terrifying strength, Karon could only believe this reason.

"In that case, Young Master Langtian will come with us tomorrow and head to the Dark City to participate in the ceremony." Karon said with a smile.

"Haha, thank you very much, Captain Kallon." Lin Langtian said with a smile.

……

The next morning, at dawn, Lin Langtian set out for the City of Darkness with the Fiery Mercenaries and others.

During the journey, perhaps because of the life-saving grace, Ling Zhi often talked to him, so Lin Langtian became more and more familiar with the distribution of the Beixuan Territory.

In the Northern Xuan Territory, there are not as many dynasties as in the Eastern Xuan Territory. Most of the areas here are governed by branch halls set up by the Dark Temple.

The master of a branch hall is like the emperor of a dynasty, and he also has extremely complex official titles under him.

From this point of view, the dominance of the Temple of Darkness seems to be a level higher than that of the Eastern Profound Territory. No wonder the Temple of Darkness can become the unshakable overlord in the Northern Profound Territory.

Although the place where they started was extremely far away from the Dark City, fortunately Lin Langtian and others were not in a hurry. Therefore, by the early morning of the fourth day, they had arrived at the outskirts of the Dark City.

Standing on a mountain peak, Lin Langtian looked into the distance and saw a huge city with no end in sight at the intersection of mountains and water in front of him. It was like an ancient giant beast with half of its body lurking deep underground, crawling quietly.

The whole city is dark in color, giving people a solemn and heavy feeling. Above the city, there is an extremely huge dark light cover covering the entire city.

Above the light shield, countless runes were flowing and an indescribable vast wave spread out, causing the space to show signs of distortion.

From Lin Langtian's perspective, he could see dozens of huge city gates. At this moment, outside those city gates, there were long lines of people slowly pouring in. The popularity of the people was astonishing.

The scale of this city is the largest that Lin Langtian has ever seen. According to his estimation, this city alone can accommodate tens of millions of people.

This Dark City is indeed the headquarters of the Dark Temple. (End of this chapter)
