Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 816 - 814: Sima Linyuan

The Witch Fiend Sect should be Ye Ming's so-called Otherworldly Religion, as for Hades Supreme, should be an individual.

"Hades Supreme."

Ling Chen slightly furrowed his brows, then looked at Yu Wei, "Is the intelligence only detailed to this extent?"

"Of course, the Witch Fiend Sect is considered an evil religion within the Imperial Court, where many people from the Four Wilderness reside, it has long been ordered to be banned by the Empress, operating in secrecy. Without access to the Heavenly Secret Tower, you wouldn't be able to obtain intelligence about the Witch Fiend Sect at all."

Yu Wei spoke seriously.

"Understood."

Ling Chen nodded, at least having acquired the intelligence on the Soul Resurrection Technique, no matter the cost, it was worth it.

Having gathered the needed information, Ling Chen was ready to turn and leave.

"A word of caution, Murong Ying and Tang Ze have probably set their sights on you, waiting for you to exit the city then make a move. If you don't have any urgent matters, I advise you not to leave the city during this period."

Yu Wei gave a reminder.

"Thank you for the warning."

Ling Chen cupped his hands in thanks, but he wasn't too concerned in his heart. He came here to attend the Green Mountain Association gathering, naturally he couldn't stay in the city all the time.

"This lad seems not to heed my warning, he might be in trouble."

Yu Wei murmured, whether Ling Chen lived or died had nothing to do with her, she merely disliked Murong Ying and Tang Ze, hence the kind reminder.

At this moment, Ling Chen had already left the Heavenly Secret Tower, arriving in the bustling market of Panlong City.

Now, it's time to meet up with the Green Mountain Association people.

West of the city, Wang Que Tower.

Wang Que Tower is the largest entertainment venue in Panlong City, also a favored place by the geniuses of the Southern Martial World, naturally, today, it's where the Green Mountain Association members gather.

"Brother Ye, are you sure that young man named Ling Chen will come? A month has passed, with his talent, he might have already been snatched up by other genius factions."

On the seventh floor of Wang Que Tower were the members of the Green Mountain Association, including Ye Ming and Yuwen Jie.

Speaking with Ye Ming was a young man in blue, carrying a long staff, looking quite capable.

"He won't. Ling Chen is a man of his word, once he promised to join the Green Mountain Association, he definitely won't switch allegiances to another faction."

Ye Ming shook his head, very confident in Ling Chen's character, he didn't believe Ling Chen would lose trust.

"That may not be certain, since Ling Chen is now hailed as the number one genius of the Southern Martial World, many factions will surely want to recruit him, our Green Mountain Association's influence isn't strong enough, he might not resist the temptation."

A member of the Green Mountain Association spoke.

"Our Green Mountain Association always acts according to fate, if Ling Chen comes, he's one of us, if not, we won't force it. This gathering is merely to explore the Burial Dragon Ancient Land together, one less person won't matter."

At this time, a young knife wielder spoke, standing out above the crowd, extraordinary. He was the Green Mountain Association's president, Sima Linyuan.

"The Burial Dragon Ancient Land is a forbidden land, yet also an ancient treasure land. If he doesn't come, it's his loss."

Another member of the Green Mountain Association spoke.

During the exchange among the Green Mountain Association members, unknowingly, the time reached evening.

"After today, we'll set out tomorrow morning, why hasn't Ling Chen arrived yet?" Yuwen Jie was somewhat anxious.

"Probably because it's too far!"

Ye Ming furrowed his brows.

If Ling Chen didn't come, it'd be quite a blow to him.

However, just as he furrowed his brows, a young figure appeared in their sight.

"Ling Chen, you finally came, we thought you wouldn't make it to the gathering!"

Ye Ming's eyes brightened, so happy that he stood up.

Huff huff!

Ling Chen slowly exhaled, smiling: "Newly arrived in Panlong City, sorry for the wait, my apologies."

"Glad you came." Ye Ming's eyes shined with delight, glanced at Ling Chen, noticing the latter's aura was deeper, indicating breakthroughs in certain aspects.

"Your Excellency is Ling Chen, I've heard your great name."

Sima Linyuan cupped his hands at Ling Chen, the latter's arrival changed his view of Ling Chen. If Ling Chen hadn't come, he'd think the latter looked down on the Green Mountain Association. Though it didn't matter, individually, it'd make everyone uncomfortable, but Ling Chen's presence was different, his honor of keeping his word made Sima Linyuan admire him greatly.

"Ling Chen, this is our Green Mountain Association's leader, Sima Linyuan."

Ye Ming quickly introduced him to Ling Chen.

"Pleasure to meet you."

Hearing it was the Green Mountain Association's leader, Ling Chen also clasped his fists, noticing the large-scale setup of the gathering, likely signaling significant actions from the Green Mountain Association.

"Brother Sima is a direct descendant of the Sima Family, second only to Sima Xiaoyao in talent, ranked eighth on the Southern Hidden Dragon List."

Yuwen Jie also chimed in.

Being inferior to Sima Xiaoyao, a renowned genius of the Southern Martial World, wasn't something shameful.

"Haha, compared to Brother Ling Chen, the number one genius of the Southern Martial World, my little fame is utterly insignificant."

Sima Linyuan looked at Ling Chen and laughed.

"Brother Ling Chen's extraordinary talent is known to all, his joining our Green Mountain Association might be a sign of our great prosperity."

"Well said, though the Green Mountain Association doesn't seek empty fame, other factions always compete with us. Now that Brother Ling Chen is here, let's see how they compare."

"Alright, enough idle talk, Ling Chen, here's your identity waist tag."

Sima Linyuan handed a metal waist tag to Ling Chen, "This token isn't much, but every Green Mountain Association member has one, while traversing Jianghu, you might encounter fellow members, with the waist tag, it's easier to recognize each other."

Nodding, Ling Chen took the waist tag and attached it around his waist.

"Ling Chen, this time we're gathering mainly to adventure in the Burial Dragon Ancient Land together, be mentally prepared." Sima Linyuan said.

"Burial Dragon Ancient Land!"

Ling Chen wasn't hearing this name for the first time, he heard these same words earlier from Yu Wei at the Heavenly Secret Tower, and now again from Sima Linyuan.

But genius gatherings often involve mutual exchanges and sparring, or jointly exploring Martial World forbidden lands, and treasure hunting adventures. Upon hearing the plan to venture into the Burial Dragon Ancient Land, though surprised, Ling Chen wasn't shocked.

From Sima Linyuan's words, he learned that the Burial Dragon Ancient Land emerged as a forbidden land recently, quite peculiar, preserving the ancient times' appearance, and encircled by a barrier formed by Heavenly Earth Energy.

The Burial Dragon Ancient Land's infamous reputation derives from the discovery of a huge dragon remains, even if it's not a true giant dragon, it's likely a powerful Exotic Beast with Dragon Clan bloodline.

This Burial Dragon Ancient Land is filled with rare external fiendish energy, massively restricting warriors, where true qi circulation becomes difficult, potentially corroding a warrior's consciousness, easily leading them into madness, descending into a frenzied state.
