Chapter 325 325 Hope Three
"You're still as irritable as ever."
The Master of the Mingxin Society sighed deeply.
Without a sound, his figure vanished from beneath the giant sword.
When it reappeared, it was already several meters behind Lin Hui.
To his surprise, the giant sword reappeared before him.
It felt like everything was being replayed from the very beginning.
Everything around him vanished, leaving only the sword blade that occupied the entire world, falling down upon him.
"interesting."
He vanished again, reappearing in another empty space. This time, he kept his distance, no longer getting as close to Lin Hui as before.
But the greatsword reappeared, and unlike before, it was closer to him!
"Psychological warfare?"
The leader of the Mingxin Society only had time for this thought to flash through his mind before he was instantly struck head-on by the giant sword.
boom!!!
At this moment, heaven and earth, and the ocean, were completely divided in two.
The jade sea split open, revealing a thin, long black line that stretched to the horizon where the sky meets the sea.
The body of the Master of the Mingxin Society was split in two.
But he remained suspended in mid-air, and large patches of tiny blue-purple tentacles grew from the cut surfaces of his body, forcibly pulling his body back together and healing him.
"What a terrifying sword strike. But it's a pity." He raised his head and looked at the distance directly in front of him.
Lin Hui floated there, holding a Ruyi scepter, and walked slowly towards him as if walking on flat ground.
“You can’t kill me,” the leader of the Mingxin Society said calmly.
"So that's your reason for sending a clone here?" Lin Hui didn't make another move.
Immediately after making his move, he realized that the opponent was not the real entity, but merely a clone formed from a high concentration of marine pollution.
"I'm sorry," the Master of Mingxin smiled, "Although you may not believe it, I have come here with good intentions."
"Goodwill? You use your own niece's life as the price to quell my anger, and this is your goodwill?" Lin Hui said coldly.
He saw through the other party's arrangement; Song Feishi was merely a gift sent by them.
After all, most people outside the world now think he is a lecher, so it is indeed something that the other party would do to send Song Feishi as a gift.
Otherwise, why would this person dare to visit Hai Ming's home after knowing that Hai Ming had indirectly caused the death of his family?
At this moment, Song Feishi, who was far away, also changed his expression and stared intently at the Master of Mingxin Society.
She couldn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it.
Not only her, but Xia Si was also watching the battlefield from a distance with a solemn expression.
“It seems you’re not very satisfied,” the Master of Mingxin Society did not deny. “But Fei Shi is already the best gift I can offer.”
Upon hearing this, Song Feishi's face instantly turned pale, her eyes filled with indescribable disbelief. She never imagined that the Master of the Mingxin Society would actually abandon her and offer her as a gift to Qingfeng Dao, hoping to gain his forgiveness in return.
She has imperial blood!
She's the niece of the Master of the Mingxin Society!
How much has she done for him over the past thousand years!?
In the end, this is how he treated himself?!
An indescribable absurdity instantly shattered all the beliefs that had sustained her actions for thousands of years.
"She was so loyal to you, and this is how you treat her?" Lin Hui said coldly.
"I've said it before, everything can be sacrificed to achieve our goal," the Mingxin Sect Master said with a smile, as if Song Feishi was nothing more than a pet he could discard at will.
"But that's not enough!" Lin Hui drew his sword again.
"Not nearly enough!!"
He held the Ruyi scepter out to the side, his eyes gleaming with a blinding blue light.
Hiss hiss hiss hiss!
In the next instant, countless silver sword marks appeared all around, covering the sky, earth, and ocean.
All the sword marks intertwined to form a huge, three-dimensional circular sword sphere, completely covering an area of thousands of miles around.
Without any sword techniques or special effects, he simply swung his sword casually, yet achieved a power level far exceeding his previous all-out attacks.
This is the ability to control Qi with a sword that one gains after completing the Heavenly Saint Form.
Every sword mark that appears here is comparable to the maximum power of Xia Si and Song Feishi's all-out attack just now.
Countless sword marks have formed this massive sword array prison, enveloping the Master of the Mingxin Society within it.
Pfft pfft
Countless sword marks instantly appeared on his body, and his body was silently pulverized and cut into tiny pieces of flesh the size of sesame seeds.
Even after turning into minced meat, the Master of Mingxin Society still floated in mid-air, so he simply communicated with Lin Hui in the form of a pile of minced meat.
“I can just stand here and let you kill me. You can kill me as many times as you want. Don’t worry, the clone and the main body share the same pain.” His calm voice came from the center of the minced flesh.
"You think I wouldn't dare go directly to your headquarters?" Lin Hui laughed.
“I know you dare. But that doesn’t conflict with what I want to do right now,” the Master of the Mingxin Society replied. “If what I do succeeds, it will benefit you as well. But if I die, no one will continue to try. At that time, perhaps only you will be able to do it yourself.”
Lin Hui remained silent.
He knew that what the other person said was true.
But the corruption of his second aunt, teacher, and others made it impossible for him to vent his anger.
“Let’s cooperate,” the Mingxin Sect Leader said, extending his hand. “Together, we can eliminate all the empty and deep cores in the entire Federation. Perhaps then we can establish a long-lasting, stable, decay-free zone.”
"How confident are you?" Lin Hui asked coldly.
“One-tenth.” “Besides me, have you contacted anyone else?” Lin Hui smiled.
“There are three more. If it were just you and me, we wouldn’t even have a 10% chance,” the Master of Mingxin Society replied sincerely.
Lin Hui was too lazy to waste words.
The surrounding prison of sword marks instantly contracted.
boom!!
The sky above the sea was completely transformed into a blur of sword shadows. Calamity surged forth, instantly shattering and destroying the avatar of the Master of the Bright Heart Sect.
A few seconds later, the silver sword mark slowly faded, became transparent, and disappeared.
His face was cold as he turned to look at the three people, Song Feishi and his companions, who looked utterly defeated in the distance.
"Take him back and lock him up in the Wind Prison."
Xia Si excitedly responded from the side. She rushed forward and bound the three of them with one hand. The golden calamity energy transformed into a rope, carrying the three of them straight towards Qingfei Mountain.
Fengyu was a place established by Qingfengdao to detain important criminals.
Located deep within Qingfei Mountain, the area is surrounded by numerous array formations and calamities, forming a terrifying prison. Once inside, only Lin Hui can safely release him.
Essentially, this is a gap in the formation constructed by combining the Nine Heavens Thunder Sound Formation with other formations.
To break through the escape route, it is necessary to destroy the entire protective formation of Qingfei Mountain in one fell swoop.
After the others left, Lin Hui looked again in the direction where the Mingxin Society leader was.
"What is it?" he asked inexplicably via telepathy.
hiss.
An aged figure slowly emerged from there; it was none other than Bai Lu Fan Yuntian of the Zhenlong Divine Palace.
He was dressed in a gray-white robe, with white hair and a youthful face. His expression was peaceful as he surveyed the surrounding sea and the remaining calamity energy.
"The Daoist Master is quite angry. But that's understandable. Those evil bastards from the Mingxin Society have killed countless people for their so-called own purposes. They still dare to show their faces in front of you; they're simply courting death."
"Get to the point." Lin Hui frowned slightly.
“That’s right.” Bai Lu Fan Yuntian nodded. “The Divine Palace just received news from other divine groups that the Mingxin Society is getting serious. They’ve opened the largest pollution channel in history, completely connecting the entire Sea of Life and Death to the Sea of Echoes Realm. The diameter of the rift in the realm is about 300,000 to 500,000 miles.”
"What does this mean?" Lin Hui squinted.
"This means that the Sea Echo Realm will face unprecedented, terrifying pollution, far surpassing worlds like the Purgatory Extreme Cold Ash. This is the erosion of the realm, and the Supreme Abyss will inevitably intervene. It signifies that the level of war has directly risen to its peak," Bai Lu replied.
"so what?"
“That’s true. For you, it’s not something you need to pay too much attention to. After all, the real problem lies here.” Bai Lu said sarcastically.
He paused, then continued.
"The massive erosion caused by pollution means that we can only fight a battle on the front lines. Even the Mist People and Mist Gods will be suppressed to the extreme when they go to the polluted area of Haiming. Losing their regenerative ability is a minor matter; their strength may be suppressed by several levels. Under such circumstances, if Mingxin destroys all the deep cores within the Federation, this area may really be completely occupied by Haiming."
"So, you're here as a lobbyist too?" Lin Hui asked in return.
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare, but I'm somewhat sentimental. If there's even a ten percent chance, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But more than taking the risk, I'm worried that if the Dao Lord makes a move, it might trigger the eruption of the source power behind you. I personally think it's best for you to remain in seclusion and not act rashly," Bai Lu said, bowing his head.
"Bring me the medicine you've been taking for a while, and you can go back now," Lin Hui said coldly.
"Yes." Bai Lu smiled, unconcerned, and pulled a delicate black mother-of-pearl box from her sleeve. She tossed it forward.
The pearl box floated gently to Lin Hui's feet, where he caught it.
"Your subordinate takes his leave." Bai Lu took a few steps back and his figure disappeared silently.
Lin Hui was left alone, adrift at sea.

August.
The pollution from the Sea Roar finally reached its limit, and several other large-scale pollution outbreaks also occurred simultaneously within the Federation.
The Mingxin Society successfully led its members to become the first to shut down the second air core, causing a stir.
Then, one by one, the deep cores began to be destroyed.
The number of Sea-Sounding monsters assimilated by pollution is increasing. And the Sea-Sounding monsters entering the world are growing stronger.
As the pollution spread further, the Mingxin Society's army gradually shifted its focus, conquering all the deep cores along the way and heading straight for the inner palace capital.
In mid-August, just as Lin Hui had completed the evolution and control of the evil weapon.
The decisive battle around the royal city has finally broken out.
Boom!!
Above Black Cloud City.
The massive sea rift suddenly trembled violently, and once again a huge white bone hand emerged from it.
This time, however, it did not strike the city's protective array below directly. Instead, it supported itself above the array and used the force to pull its entire body out in the opposite direction.
Seconds later, from the crack in the sea, a giant skeletal creature with white bones all over its body and a ball of blue flame burning between its chest bones slammed into the shallow waters of the Jade Sea.
Its size occupies almost half of the entire Black Cloud Inner City.
Upon closer inspection, one can see countless grayish-white spiky maggots crawling on its white skeleton.
As soon as the skeletal giant appeared, it didn't even glance at the dark clouds and headed straight for the capital.
He strode through the seawater, and soon his massive figure was shrouded in thick fog, disappearing from sight forever.
All that remained were the distorted waterfalls of Haiming water, cascading down from the sky and crashing into the abandoned area of the Black Cloud Outer City.
The dark blue waters of Haiming Realm gradually transformed the surrounding outer city area into a vast ocean.
