Lin Feng and the others turned their heads and looked at Teng Gang oddly.
If it weren't for the fact that Teng Gang's face was already pale white at this moment, they would have asked him, 'Was this what he said about being innocent?'
He was innocent, my ass.
Even though they were his sworn brothers, Teng Gang didn't hesitate to kill them, and he even held their severed heads with his hand.
In this instant, everyone's outlook had been turned upside down, and the gaze towards Teng Gang became odd, and even they were wary of him now.
Honestly, if not for these memory images revealed by the Heavenly Emperor's remnant soul, they would have thought that an upright man like Teng Gang would never do such a thing.
Everyone almost turned the Heavenly Emperor into a scapegoat, but they became the clowns in the end.
…
Feeling the strange gazes around him, Teng Gang wasn't in the mood to pay attention at this moment.
Staring at the screen above, Teng Gang turned pale as he watched himself having a sinister smile and holding his sworn brothers Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian's severed heads in his hands, and as if that wasn't enough, he even struck a sharp sword into their hearts and bruised them all over.
"Were the Third and fourth Elder brothers actually ….were killed by me?"
Suddenly, a burst of dizziness assaulted Teng Gang's mind.
In the past, Teng Gang had suspicions about Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian's death, and he even suspected that the Heavenly Emperor must have killed them.
But, not even once did he think he killed his sworn brothers.
Teng Gang shared a great friendship with Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian, among all other Devil Hunting Squad members, while Lin Yan and Zhao Ling'er joined them later.
However, he was the one who killed the two with his own hands.adv*ncechaptersareavailable
Poof!
Teng Gang spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood from his mouth.
At the same time, the aura on Teng Gang's body suddenly flickered, and his aura became unstable.
Even the crowd around him could see that the nearly perfect Dao heart that emerged from Teng Gang's body was instantly shattered at this moment.
The moment the Dao heart shattered, Teng Gang's aura suddenly fell from the Immortal realm to the Sage realm.
If Teng Gang's realm continued to fall at this rate, his cultivation base would vanish completely, and he would become a cripple.
When Lin Feng saw this, he became anxious as Teng Gang had always been his long-standing supporter. Seeing how miserable Teng Gang had become, he tried to persuade, "...Big Brother Teng Gang, there must be something peculiar about this matter. Maybe the Heavenly Emperor is playing tricks, so you must not give up. Not to mention, there is still Miss Ling'er who needs your care."
That's right! The Young Sister Ling'er!
Teng Gang's face was already turned ashen as if death had embraced him, but when he heard the word 'Ling'er', he finally returned to his senses at once.
It so happened that when Teng Gang's realm dropped, Zhao Ling'er's soul fragment also became constantly staggering, as if it may disappear at any time.
Although Teng Gang's entire face was contorted as he grimaced in agony and his heart was numb, when he saw Zhao Ling'er, he pulled himself together and took out a few Soul-Soothing Treasures and helped Zhao Ling'er to stabilize her soul.
"Young Sister Ling'er, after I will cure you, I will personally visit the Third Brother and Fourth Brother's graves and take my life." Teng Gang said as tears rolled down his face.
When Lin Feng heard his words, he wanted to say something and opened his mouth. But in the end, he still couldn't say anything.
If the scene just now was only seen by them alone, Lin Feng could still find a way to appease the crowd and keep this matter a secret.
But now, the entire residents of Lingxuan Continent had seen Teng Gang kill his sworn brother.
If Teng Gang didn't die, others would point out this matter and even carry the lousy reputation of killing his sworn brother.
But, this alone was life-threatening for a righteous man like Tang Gang.adv*ncechaptersareavailable
"I can only wait for Big Brother Teng Gang to calm down for a while, and then I'll properly persuade him." Lin Feng muttered under his breath.
But in Lin Feng's heart, he had already given up on Teng Gang.
Teng Gang was actually in the Immortal Realm and had a high reputation among the many cultivators in the Heavenly Palace.
Such a Teng Gang was worth pulling in, but what about now?
The present Teng Gang had a broken Dao heart, had fallen to Sage Realm, and wasn't worth his energy.
…
(Within The Screen In The Sky of the Lingxuan Continent)
Lin Yan naturally had no idea of what was going on.
But staring at Teng Gang in front of him, Lin Yan's face was unsightly at this moment.
The scene where Teng Gang himself killed Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian had caused his eyes to take on a vague rage.
"Teng Gang, what the hell is wrong with you?" Lin Yan shouted angrily at Teng Gang.
"Naturally, it's because they become slaves of our Extraterrestrial Devils."
Beside Lin Yan, soft laughter sounded.
Zhao Ling'er's body, which had changed to resemble a small snake at this moment, wrapped Lin Yan entirely.
However, Zhao Ling'er's pair of eyes had turned into a completely pitch black color and Teng Gang, who was in front of Lin Yan, looked similar.
"...The Extraterrestrial Devil." Lin Yan squeezed out these three words from his mouth.
At the same time, Lin Yan also added suspiciously, "Impossible, I have already used the Devil Tracking Technique and didn't find any presence of the Extraterrestrial devil aura on you guys."
Lin Yan, peering down at Teng Gang, continued, "The Extraterrestrial Devil is just a mass of evil qi. There is no way it would have such an awake consciousness to communicate with me…."adv*ncechaptersareavailable
"Fool."
Before Lin Yan finished his sentence, Teng Gang, who was beside him, revealed a cold smile, "We, the Extraterrestrial Devils, have invaded the Lingxuan Continent for hundreds of millions of years. You cultivators have created countless ways to target us, but you couldn't defeat us so far. Now, we evolved a bit."
Lin Yan's face was gloomy as he slowly said, "So, this is the reason my Devil Tracking technique, can't find you?"
"That's natural. From today onwards, all of your means of searching for Extraterrestrial Devils will be completely invalid."
Then, with a smug expression, Teng Gang added, "Moreover, we, the Extraterrestrial Devils, control you under the leadership of Phase-less Devils."
The Phase-less Devils!
Lin Yan silently made a note in his mind.
Zhao Ling'er wrapped Lin Yan's body around her and pressed her red lips to Lin Yan's ear, she said, "Lin Yan, in the entire Lingxuan, the Phase-less Devil Lord has taken a fancy of your body. So, you'd better obediently give it up and become part of us."
Lin Yan turned his head and almost came face to face with Zhao Ling'er.
Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Lin Yan's expression, however, was completely calm at this moment, "I have studied quite a few of the Extraterrestrial Devils, and learned that your power comes from your evil and chaos. But, although you have evolved now, you have become more like ordinary beings. For you, this evolution has both benefits and as well as disadvantages."
When Teng Gang and Zhao Ling'er heard Lin Yan's words, their expressions changed.
And before they could react, Lin Yan freed himself and said coldly under his breath, "I can guess, although you have wisdom and your aura has become subtle, your power has declined… That is to say, you can only exert the power of the host body itself at this moment, right?"
Lin Yan hadn't finished yet and reached out and grabbed Teng Gang. Then he instantly poured down a wave of law power from the top of Teng Gang's head.
It made Teng Gang, possessed by the Extraterrestrial Devil, unable to move the slightest bit anymore.
"Lin Yan, you are worthy of being the one that Lord Phase-less Devil has fascinated with, you saw through us at a glance. But so what, unless you kill the two people in front of you, you can't help them at all." The Extraterrestrial Devils inside of Teng Gang let out a smug laugh.
Hearing that, Lin Yan's face turned blue.
He then reached out and grabbed both Teng Gang and Zhao Ling'er and held them in his arms.
But when Lin Yan glanced backside and looked at Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian's body lifelessly lying on the side, he fell silent.
Earlier, Teng Gang struck too abruptly, and Lin Yan was too late to save the two.
The figure of Zhuo Yang was holding a wine bowl, loudly greeting him over drinks, and the silent Xu Jingtian, calling him Elder Brother occasionally, flashed before Lin Yan's eyes.
But after today, this would never happen again.
Looking at the two lifeless bodies, Lin Yan was silent for a long time, and only then did he reach out and bury them.
Naturally, as their sworn brother, Lin Yan buried them properly.
Only after doing all this did Lin Yan take Teng Gang and Zhao Ling'er and disappear with a flash.
This time, he went toward the direction of the Heavenly Palace, which he had just escaped a month ago.
