Chapter 2077: And There Is Still a Mastermind
At the moment, Lin Dong temporarily halted the eruption of the Asura Needle.
After the eruption stopped, General Ying's pain finally subsided.
However, it took him a full few minutes to recover and speak fluently.
"Master, I will take you to all the major branches of Brahman. All I ask is for you to spare my life. If you fear I might retaliate in the future, you can destroy my cultivation level. If you fear I might reveal your identity, cut off my tongue..."
Even at this moment, General Ying still wants to survive.
He is willing to let his cultivation be destroyed and even his tongue cut off.
Even then, he still wants to live.
Lin Dong heard his words and said disdainfully, "You are not qualified to negotiate with me."
"Yes, yes..." General Ying was worried that Lin Dong would trigger the Asura Needle in his body again, so he quickly shut his mouth, not daring to negotiate any further.
After seeing him close his mouth, Lin Dong said, "How much do you know about the secrets of this Blood Spirit Snake?"
"Was this Blood Spirit Snake raised by your master?"
General Ying's eyes flickered, his mind still pondering over something.
However, at that moment, Lin Dong said something that led him to complete despair.
"Are you still hoping for your master to come rescue you? Let me tell you the truth, your master is already dead. In the Hidden Dragon Cave, I personally slaughtered her."
"No one can come to rescue you. If you do not want to endure torture worse than death, you better stop playing tricks. Your little schemes are no different from a child's naive thoughts in my eyes."
At this moment, cold sweat was flowing down General Ying's back, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Upon learning Lin Dong's identity as Dragon Country's Master Lin, he had suspected whether his master had died in the Hidden Dragon Cave.
But he couldn't be certain.
Now, hearing Lin Dong say it himself, he naturally believed that Lin Dong wouldn't lie to him on purpose.
Because there's absolutely no need.
He quickly lowered his head, almost touching the ground, and said, "I dare not play tricks in front of you, Master. Everything I know, I will truthfully tell you."
He didn't even dare to call him 'Master Lin' because he knows the other party doesn't want his identity exposed.
Therefore, even though there were no martial artists present, he dared not directly address Lin Dong as 'Master Lin.'
Lin Dong looked at him, waiting for his answer to the question he just asked.
General Ying said, "Master, regarding this Blood Spirit Snake, I don't know much. But I can confirm that the snake was not raised by my master."
"Instead, someone instructed her to raise it. As for who is behind all this, I am also unclear. Although I am my master's only direct disciple, and she values me highly, I still do not have the privilege to know about this matter."
"It is highly likely that it involves Heavenly Realm martial artists, those big shots..."
Lin Dong listened to his words, judging if he was lying.
He believed that, at this point, General Ying would absolutely not dare to play tricks.
Additionally, Lin Dong had previously guessed that the owner of the Blood Spirit Snake may not be the Sect Leader of Brahman.
His guess is based on one reason—because the Sect Leader of Brahman is not an alchemist. If she truly is the mastermind, even if she successfully raised the 'Blood Spirit Snake' and it produced a snake pill capable of refining the 'Spirit Elixir,' she would not be able to turn it into a Spirit Elixir.
Moreover, the current strength of the Blood Spirit Snake is already very powerful, almost surpassing Brahman's Snake Lord. If Snake Lord were its owner, wouldn't he be backfired upon?
Thus, Lin Dong previously conjectured that the Sect Leader of Brahman was merely helping someone else raise the Blood Spirit Snake.
"When I find out who that person is, even if he is a Heavenly Realm martial artist, I will not spare him!" Lin Dong said to himself.
Unfortunately, Brahman's Snake Lord had already been killed by him, causing this lead to break.
He could only wait until later to deal with it.
At this moment, he looked at those 'female slaves.'
There were still dozens of 'female slaves' here at the Brahman Headquarters.
They all kneeled on the ground, trembling in fear.
One, slightly bolder, quickly spoke, "Thank you, this master, for saving us—may I ask your name?"
Lin Dong naturally did not tell them his real name or mention the name 'Wei Jiulong.'
Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Saving you was only a small effort."
"When you go outside, if others ask who rescued you, just say it was Brahman's internal chaos."
"Each of you, go find your respective country's consulate in Southborne!"
These people were from all over the country, and Lin Dong clearly could not escort them one by one.
He still had more important things to do next.
Following this, he grabbed General Ying and vanished from the place.
And these 'female slaves' knelt toward the direction Lin Dong left.
Someone choked up, saying, "Thank you, benefactor! Rest assured, benefactor, we will not reveal anything about you."
They all observed that the benefactor was not willing to expose his identity to the world. Given this, they naturally would not utter a word.
Lin Dong rescued them from 'hell,' and they felt immensely grateful. Never mind helping Lin Dong conceal an identity; even if Lin Dong wanted them to do anything, they were willing.
Even if the benefactor wanted their bodies, they wouldn't hesitate for a moment.
Of course, they also knew that the benefactor, such a personage, would never request such a form of repayment.
Lin Dong and General Ying left the Spirit Cave, wearing masks.
Next, he planned to annihilate the entire Brahman with an unknown identity.
"Master, our Brahman has a total of thirty-six branches in Southborne. The weakest hall master of each branch is a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, while some major branches even have Earth Realm martial artists on guard!"
"Each branch has no fewer than three hundred martial artists! In larger ones, there are even over a thousand."
General Ying, while leading Lin Dong to the other branches, told him about the specifics of Brahman's situation.
He did this solely for survival!
To save his life, he concealed nothing, disclosing some of Brahman's hidden affairs to Lin Dong.
After Lin Dong listened, his face grew increasingly grim.
It wasn't because he was intimidated by Brahman's strength but because he felt that such a powerful force with so many martial artists was being used for wrongdoing.
A multitude of martial artists committing evil deeds was a disaster for innocent people.
It's unknown how many people lost their lives at their hands.
No wonder the Blood Spirit Snake could devour so many lives.
These people were direct accomplices.
With anger in his heart, Lin Dong and General Ying quickly arrived at Brahman's number one branch.
According to General Ying, this branch had powerful Earth Realm martial artists overseeing it and housed over a thousand martial artists.
Lin Dong said to General Ying, "Take me inside!"
He didn't kill his way through; that approach could alert others too soon.
His goal was to annihilate the entire Brahman!
Hence, he planned to use General Ying's 'influence' to have the hall master summon all the people in the branch first.
Then lock them in and slaughter them!
