Most Conceited War God

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. We'll follow behind and see what's going on. The moment we sense that something is amiss, we'll immediately evacuate."    

He had a nagging feeling that things were not as simple as he had imagined. If he followed them, perhaps they really would have had a great harvest.    

Even if there were no major gains, once he discovered that the Demon Bat Army was controlled by humans, he would immediately bring the people of the Green Cloud Sect away from the Ten Thousand Killing Lake. They had already experienced the destructive power of the Demon Bat Army earlier, and if there were still people who wanted to snatch that blood-red blade, then no matter if it was the Myriad Thunder Sect or the Green Cloud Sect, they would never be able to fight against the other forces that controlled the Demon Bat Army.    

"Alright, then we'll do as Young Sect Master says. However, if anything happens, I'll immediately bring you away."    

The second elder, You Tianxuan, waved his palm, signaling the eight disciples of the Qing-Yun Sect to follow him. Then, everyone followed behind Ling Jian and chased after the black torrent.    

About a quarter of an hour later, the blurry black torrent once again appeared in their line of sight. Due to the dazzling brilliance of the torrent, they did not leave it behind, but even so, it made those from the Qing-Yun Sect afraid to breathe.    

"Young Sovereign, it seems as though these demonic bats have stopped."    

The group followed behind them. The second elder, You Tianxuan, hurriedly spoke after sensing the change in front of him.    

"Hmm, they seem to have really stopped."    

Ling Jian also lifted his head to look over. After he had followed till here, the sound of the distant flute had become extremely clear, causing his heart to be filled with a grave expression. Gazing into the distance, he seemed to see a crystal clear flute in the middle of the army of Demonic Bats.    

"It's a flute, could it be that this flute is a tool to control the Demonic Bat Army?!"    

Ling Jian's eyes were wide open as they flickered. Other than him, no one else could see the flute clearly. Only the scope of the eye technique could see it clearly. This was Ling Jian's advantage in one aspect.    

"Second Elder, I have something to ask of you. Please help me deal with it."    

Ling Jian suddenly lowered his head and said something to the Second Elder's side. When the Second Elder heard this, his expression instantly changed.    

"No, no. Young school head, this is too dangerous."    

He was certain that this was the base of the Demonic Bat Army. They were currently at the edge of the territory, so if they tried to do something here, they would most likely be trapped by the Demonic Bats.    

"Second Elder, believe me, I won't act recklessly."    

Ling Jian's eyes were calm. Within those pitch-black eyes, there was no hint of recklessness, causing one to feel extremely at ease.    

"Alright, since the Young Sect Master has requested it, then even if we are to be smashed to pieces, we must still do it."    

The Second Elder, You Tianxuan, thought for a moment and then no longer hesitated. He trusted that the young man would not act rashly. He then turned around and instructed the Qing-Yun disciples, leading them towards a certain direction.    

After the men from the Qing-Yun Sect left, Ling Jian turned his gaze towards the place where the Demonic Bat Army was flocking. In his field of vision, he could only see a small section of the flute.    

In the midst of this black torrent, roughly a few hundred Demonic Bats could be seen.    

Roughly a quarter of an hour later, a group of roars came from the forest in the distance. There were tremors coming from the ground, causing Ling Jian to feel a little bit. Then, he hid his body within the red forest and began to carefully observe.    

Through the red forest, the scene before their eyes also bloomed before Ling Jian. Fierce Beasts with a cultivation of seven or eight Layered Heavens were madly rushing towards the direction of the Demonic Bat Army.    

"It seems like the Second Elder and the others have succeeded."    

This scene was witnessed by the young man. He immediately nodded. He had previously instructed the Second Elder and the disciple from Qingyun Peak to act.    

Buzz.    

The air seemed to tremble a little. Those bloody eyes hidden in the black torrent emitted a sinister look. One by one, the demonic bats turned into black clouds, hiding their blood-red bodies. Then, they swept towards the vicious beasts that were madly running towards them.    

The ferocious beasts that were madly running in front also noticed the Demon Bat Army in front of them. Immediately, they started to follow the path they had come from. It was evident that they had also realized that danger was approaching and had disappeared in the blink of an eye.    

However, the speed of these torrents was clearly much faster. In the blink of an eye, they had caught up to them. Then, from behind, Ling Jian could hear the screams of the vicious beasts that were frantically running about …    

"These unlucky fellows are finished."    

Ling Jian smiled, but showed no sympathy. Instead, he straightened his body and looked over.    

"It's actually a floating rock?!"    

The departure of the Demonic Bat Army allowed Ling Jian to see everything much more clearly. When he saw the rock that was hundreds of feet tall floating in the air, his heart trembled.    

"There are still some scattered Demonic Bats, but nothing to fear."    

After looking around, Ling Jian was able to clearly see the surroundings of the floating rock. He steeled his heart and immediately summoned out the strand of sword Qi from his sea of consciousness that was condensed from the Heaven Decimating Myriad World Sword.    

The sword aura vibrated. In the next moment, it turned into a ray of light under Ling Jian's feet and quickly carried Ling Jian as it directly shot out explosively. Within a breath's time, it appeared above the floating rocks.    

Along the way, there were a few scattered demon bats that tried to attack Ling Jian, but before they could even get close to him, they were already destroyed by the Sword Qi.    

Tap.    

Ling Jian landed steadily on the mountain cliff. After which, his gaze swept his surroundings, but nothing was left except the bare rock, and the flute suspended above the rock.    

On the surface of the flute, there were clear and mysterious veined patterns. It looked extremely mysterious, causing the already extraordinary flute to appear even more mysterious.    

"Is this it?"    

After looking at the flute for a long time, Ling Jian could faintly hear the sound of air flowing, and then, it slipped into the flute hole, making a slight noise.    

"..."
