If that was really the case, they wouldn't be able to rest in peace even if they died!

At the thought of this, the two of them felt more supportive of tonight's operation.

Lin Shen looked at Zhao Xueying, indicating for her to continue.

“The Wild Wolves' whereabouts are secretive. Most of the members are in one-way contact. Even if we occasionally capture a few members, it's very difficult to interrogate them and find more clues. It's rare to see such an operation tonight. This should be the Martial Enforcement Hall's largest capture operation against the Wild Wolves in recent years!

“In addition, according to the Martial Enforcement Hall's investigation, there's a high chance that there's more than one cultivator master inside the organization!” Zhao Xueying said solemnly.

Lin Shen nodded slightly, not surprised.

It was impossible for the Wild Wolves to survive under the eyes of the Martial Enforcement Hall for so many years without the support of cultivator masters.

Thinking about how he had been targeted by such a faction previously, Lin Shen couldn't help but feel lucky.

Thankfully, the Wild Wolves underestimated the speed at which his strength increased. They only sent Luo Yi to attack him. Otherwise, if they sent a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator, he wouldn't have been about to do anything even with the cat general's God Seeking Token.

“Looks like I have to be more careful from now on.”

Lin Shen thought to himself.

Even so, he wasn't too worried.

After all, he spent most of his time in the academy. No matter how much the Wild Wolves coveted him, it was impossible for them to wait outside the academy 24/7 for him to come out.

Moreover, it was obvious from the Martial Enforcement Hall's actions tonight.

In the future, the Martial Enforcement Hall's search for the Wild Wolves would only become more and more intense. The latter might not have the time to focus on him.

Lin Shen glanced at the manor.

As time passed, the battle cries there began to gradually weaken.

Scattered battle sounds came from the first layer of the encirclement.

It was obvious that someone was trying to fight their way out.

Unfortunately, the disciples guarding the periphery were all Long Breath Stage cultivators with extraordinary strength. It wasn't easy to break out of the encirclement.

In just a moment, the commotion over there quickly disappeared.

Just as the four people thought that there would be no more incidents tonight, a change suddenly happened!

In the direction of the manor, the commotion suddenly rose again. It was even more noisy than before.

“What happened?”

Lin Shen and the other three looked at each other.

Suddenly, Lin Shen frowned.

“Can you hear something?”

Zhao Xueying and the other two were stunned. They quickly focused their attention and listened. Indeed, they heard a faint buzzing sound mixed in with the distant battle cries. It was like the sound of wings flapping when some insect flew.

“What's going on?” Yu Shuying looked puzzled.

In just a short while, the shouts in the direction of the manor had weakened a lot.

On the contrary, the buzzing sound of the insect's wings was clearer and denser, and it seemed to be approaching them.

Soon, shouts and battle cries came from ahead.

Lin Shen and his team looked at each other, and their expressions became abnormally solemn.

They realized that something had clearly happened in the manor. The members of the Martial Enforcement Hall who had attacked the manor were probably dead.

And now, the source of the abnormality was attacking the encirclement formed by the academy's disciples. It would probably not be long before it reached them.

“What should we do?” Yu Shuying looked at the other three hesitantly.

To be honest, the best way to deal with this was to turn around and leave.

After all, even the Martial Enforcement Hall members in the manor had been defeated. One could imagine how powerful and terrifying the enemy was. What could a group of academy disciples like them do?

However, they had accepted the mission after all. If they fled without doing anything, it would be difficult to explain when they returned.

Zuo Manman and Zhao Xueying also frowned and looked hesitant.

However, they didn't hesitate for long. In the next second, they heard Lin Shen say in a deep voice,

“It's here!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the buzzing suddenly became louder.

They looked up and saw a large group of black shadows rushing over at high speed toward them.

Under the moonlight, they quickly saw what it was.

They were monsters that looked like wasps, but they were the size of an adult male's fist. They had a pair of blood-red compound eyes and pincer-like jaws.

“Hell Hornets!” Zhao Xueying cried out.

“You recognize those spiritual beasts?” Lin Shen turned to look at Zhao Xueying.

The girl nodded with a slightly pale face and quickly said, “It's said that the Hell Hornet comes from a pus and blood hell. It likes to enter its prey's body and devour its flesh, tendons, and bones, which is used as nutrients to give birth to offspring. It's an extremely ferocious poisonous insect!”

Yu Shuying and Zuo Manman's faces turned pale.

Women tended to be afraid of insects, and even cultivators weren't immune to them.

It was fine if it was an ordinary insect, but a ferocious poisonous insect like Hell Hornet really made Yu Shuying and Zuo Manman feel scared and repulsive from the bottom of their hearts.

Even Zhao Xueying couldn't help but tighten her grip on the longsword in her hand and purse her lips tightly.

Lin Shen wasn't afraid of insects, but what puzzled him was why this kind of poisonous insect that was said to have come from hell would appear here.

The Martial Enforcement Hall clearly didn't know that there were a large number of Hell Hornets here. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been defeated unprepared.

Unfortunately, reality didn't give Lin Shen much room to think. In just a few seconds, the hundreds of Hell Hornets had already rushed to within 30 meters of them.

Lin Shen immediately took action. He suddenly opened his mouth and let out a long roar. The sound wave seemed to have materialized and exploded in all directions like a tsunami, causing a large ripple in the air.

Wherever the ripples passed, the Hell Hornets instantly exploded.

Blood splattered everywhere, turning into a red color that filled the sky!

In an instant, more than twenty Hell Hornets died!

This scene undoubtedly gave the three girls great confidence.

Zhao Xueying's eyes lit up.

“Awesome!”

Yu Shuying and Zuo Manman also looked at Lin Shen in pleasant surprise. They didn't expect this new chief disciple of the Nine Yang Academy to be so powerful.

Clang!

There was suddenly the sound of a drawing sword.

Along sword had appeared in Lin Shen's hand when the others weren't looking. With a wave, flames instantly appeared out of thin air.

A few Hell Hornets that had charged forward were instantly engulfed by the fire and turned into ashes before they could even react.

Zhao Xueying, who was preparing to participate in the battle, saw this scene from the corner of her eye, and her eyes widened.

Six Yang Talisman Sword?!

Why did Lin Shen have such an enchanted armament?

Zhao Xueying was stunned.

The Six Yang Talisman Sword was a middle-grade enchanted armament worth 20 minor merits. Lin Shen was a freshman who had been in the academy for less than two months. Where did he get so many merit points to exchange for the sword?

Swoosh!

She heard the noise of something flying fast in the air.

Zhao Xueying only felt a gust of wind brush past her ear. Then, she heard a sorrowful cry behind her.

She turned around and saw a Hell Hornet a few meters away. Its head had been pierced through, and it fell to the ground with a plop. It twitched a few times and stopped moving.

“Stay focused in battle!” Lin Shen glanced at Zhao Xueying and continued to attack the swarm of insects.

Zhao Xueying blushed and quickly focused on dealing with the insects.

However, she was even more shocked.

Now that she thought about it, that gust of wind was clearly the Essence Sword Finger!

Lin Shen actually cultivated the Essence Sword Finger!

Lin Shen waved his long sword rapidly, emitting scarlet light to kill the insects. The sword technique he used was clearly the Supreme Yang Swordplay!

Six Yang Talisman Sword, Essence Sword Finger, and Supreme Yang Swordplay… to exchange for these three enchanted armaments and martial techniques required a total of 34 minor merits!

Zhao Xueying felt Lin Shen was more like a disciple of influential families than she was.

Even with the support of her family, she couldn't come up with more than 30 minor merits at this stage.

Zhao Xueying felt she knew even less about Lin Shen.

Lin Shen didn't know what Zhao Xueying was thinking. He was focused on dealing with the swarm of insects in front of him.

After fighting for a short while, he was already confident of what he was doing.

“They're probably at the late-phase of the Spirit Awakening Stage. It's not difficult to deal with an individual one, but there are a lot of them.”

There were about 300 to 400 Hell Hornets attacking them.

This number was already very shocking.

Other four-member teams at the first or second level of the Spirit Awakening Stage would have been eaten up by three to four hundred late-phase Spirit Awakening Stage Hell Hornets.

Fortunately, Lin Shen was around.

He alone had blocked nearly half of Hell Hornet's attacks.

With Forbidden Golden Armor, Lin Shen didn't have to worry about Hell Hornet's poisonous jaws at all. He just had to focus on killing the poisonous insects.

The Six-Yang Talisman Sword in his hand seemed to have turned into a ball of light that was dancing rapidly. It minced the Hell Hornets who dared to approach.

In just two to three minutes, as many as 50 to 60 Hell Hornets had died under Lin Shen's blade

The three girls' eyes sparkled, and their morale was greatly boosted.

At the same time.

while Lin Shen and the others were fighting the insect swarm, two figures were watching the battle from the treetop half a kilometer away..
