Chapter 49 Divine Wind Sect

"Bage Country?"

"Yes! It's trash from Bage Country!"

"How can you be sure? Could it be an impersonation?" Lin Xing was somewhat puzzled.

"No doubt about it. Besides the trash from that country, no one else goes around cursing with 'Bage' all day."

"Bage?" Lin Xing paused, reminded of a despicable country from his other world that also constantly used such phrases.

"Right, 'Bage' is a curse word!" Li Da continued, "That's not the only reason. We recognized them not only by what they said, but also because they were all short, like dwarves, and their clothes were very distinctive, all black."

"The most distinctive thing was their weapons. They look like swords, but much smaller than our regular swords, and they're curved, very strange."

"And they can disappear and then suddenly reappear!" Third Brother cut in. "That's exactly why our brothers... why they were killed before they could even react." Third Brother's voice choked with anger as he spoke.

"Invisibility? And katanas? Ninjas?" A murderous glint flashed in Lin Xing's eyes. Thinking of the cruelty of the people from that despicable country in his other world towards his homeland, Lin Xing couldn't suppress the killing intent in his heart!

"Tell me about the behavior of people from this country!" Lin Xing was already seething with murderous intent! If the people in this world were like those in that other world, Lin Xing decided he would exterminate them! Wipe them out, root and branch!

Li Da and the others were startled by the killing intent in Lin Xing's words. They glanced at Lin Xing, not understanding why he was like this. Seeing their expressions, Lin Xing quickly reined in his emotions and said, "Li Da, continue."

Li Da nodded. "This Bage is a small country, not large. They're all despicable! Although it's a small country, their emperor is not satisfied with their current status and often launches wars, invading neighboring countries. Thanks to those invisible warriors of theirs, they often succeed in occupying other countries' lands."

"These despicable people, whenever they arrive somewhere, they carry out the 'kill all, loot all, burn all' policy! They rape women, their methods are extremely cruel!"

"Don't the invaded countries resist?"

"Resist? How could they? When they go on campaigns, they always bring those invisible bastards! They specialize in assassinating enemy generals! With no generals left, just soldiers remain, how can they fight?"

"Is there no way to counter these invisible people?" Lin Xing couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, there is. Some of those invisible people are very powerful, some are at the level of Sword Saints. With invisible sneak attacks, even a Sword Saint can't defend himself. Although some countries have united to deal with Bage, ultimately, they still can't defeat it."

"What does this have to do with the child kidnappings we heard about earlier? Could it be that their country is stealing children to raise?"

"No, the word is they want to revive their country's guardian deity—the Eight-headed God!"

"Eight-headed God? Guardian deity?" Lin Xing thought to himself, *What a coincidence. Eight heads?*

"Yes, this Eight-headed God is said to have descended from above. First, he became a god and ascended to the divine realm, but later, for some unknown reason, he returned from the divine realm to Bage Country and became their guardian deity. But..."

"I heard this deity was severely injured and doesn't have much power left. But even with not much power left, he's still much stronger than our Sword God. Previously, a Sword God went to challenge the Eight-headed God, but not long after, that Sword God was easily killed by him. That's why, although countries on the continent despise the people of that country, they don't dare to send troops against them. At most, they dare to fight only when they leave Bage! They fear that Eight-headed God."

"Revive the Eight-headed God!" Lin Xing frowned. This is big trouble. If the Eight-headed God is already so powerful while severely injured, what will happen when he recovers?

"Yes, they want to revive the Eight-headed God! That's why they're kidnapping children everywhere. I heard they need to capture a thousand boys and girls born on the same day!"

"Bastards!" Lin Xing couldn't help but curse angrily!

"Is it their emperor doing this?" A wave of killing intent surged through Lin Xing as he began hatching a plan—assassinate the emperor!

"No, it's the Divine Wind Sect!"

"Divine Wind Sect? What is that?"

"They're not something; they're a bunch of scum! Trash! Extremely despicable beasts! The Divine Wind Sect essentially serves as the state religion of Bage Country. Every one of them is scum who has committed heinous crimes!" Li Da said angrily.

Lin Xing looked at Li Da with confusion.

Li Da explained, "They embody all the characteristics of Bage Country, but are ten times more ruthless! Each one is a hardened criminal! Each one has blood on their hands!"

"And they're delusional enough to want to rule the continent! But they know they don't have the capability, so they cooperate with the Eight-headed God. They help the Eight-headed God recover from his injuries, and in return, the Eight-headed God agrees to be their enforcer!"

"Damn, this is really serious now," Lin Xing thought to himself.

However, a moment later, Lin Xing became somewhat suspicious. After all, this Li Da is just a mercenary; how does he know all this so clearly?

"Li Da, this can't be public knowledge, can it? How do you know all this so clearly?" Lin Xing inquired.

Li Da hesitated, remaining silent.

This made Lin Xing even more suspicious.

"Boss, just say it. Young Master Lin isn't a bad person!" Third Brother said.

Li Da glanced at Lin Xing, sighed, and said, "Young Master Lin, I'll be honest with you. The captain of the Leopard Mercenary Band is my father!"

Lin Xing looked at Li Da and simply nodded, saying nothing.

"That time, when we returned home, it wasn't because we completed a mission, but because we were being hunted! We were being hunted by the Divine Wind Sect!" Li Da's eyes were filled with rage as he spoke through gritted teeth.

Why was the Divine Wind Sect hunting the Leopards? Just as Lin Xing was about to ask, Li Da said, "Because we learned their secret! That secret is exactly what I just told you. My father and a few other brothers were on a mission outside, but in some remote mountains, they found out their secret! So they hunted my father. My father fought desperately and finally escaped, but the other brothers died!"

"After returning, my father immediately took our entire band back to our base, the Huaxia Empire. Only by returning to Huaxia would they give up the hunt. But before we could reach Huaxia, we... we..." Li Da choked up, unable to continue.

Lin Xing also fell silent. He believed them.

Having learned what he needed to know, Lin Xing prepared to take his leave.

"By the way, how can I recognize people from the Divine Wind Sect?" Lin Xing was afraid it would be hard to find them if they blended into the crowd.

"Young Master Lin, are you planning to look for people from the Divine Wind Sect? I suggest you don't. People from the Divine Wind Sect are very troublesome," Li Da said with concern.

Lin Xing smiled slightly. "It's fine. Just tell me."

Li Da had no choice but to say, "People from the Divine Wind Sect usually have an image of their deity tattooed on their left arm—a small snake with eight heads. It's easy to recognize. Also, people from Bage Country are all short and have a shifty appearance, very easy to identify."

Lin Xing nodded. "Alright, then I'll take my leave!"

"Young Master Lin," Li Da called out.

"What is it?"

"When you're alone, don't provoke those people. They're very troublesome."

"I'll remember that," Lin Xing said.

But Lin Xing had already decided to go provoke them!!
