Chapter 278 The Moon Worship Cult Attacks

The next morning, sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto the ground, creating patches of mottled light and shadow.

Just as Lin Tian packed his bags and prepared to take Zhao Linger away from Xianling Island to travel, his sharp eyes suddenly caught an unusual movement on the sea in the distance.

I saw wooden boats slowly sailing towards the Fairy Island, with a group of mysterious people in black tights standing on the boats.

They are agile and their movements are in unison, and you can tell at a glance that they are well-trained.

As the wooden boat gradually approached Xianling Island, Lin Tian could clearly feel the chill and hostility emanating from them.

Seeing this scene, he was certain that these people must be from the Moon Worshiping Cult.

And looking at their aggressive appearance, their purpose is self-evident—Xianling Island! More precisely, they came for Zhao Linger on the island.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn't help but frown and turned to look at Zhao Linger beside him.

At this time, Zhao Linger had already sensed the approaching danger. Her beautiful big eyes were fixed on the wooden boat that was getting closer and closer, but there was no worry on her face.

Seeing this, Lin Tian softly asked, "Ling'er, I'm sure you've noticed that not far from our Xianling Island, there's a group of men in black rushing towards us with menacing and ferocious looks. There's no doubt they have ill intentions."

Zhao Linger nodded slightly, indicating that she had indeed noticed this group of uninvited guests.

Seeing this, Lin Tian continued, "In my opinion, their target must be Xianling Island. If we let them break into the island so easily, I'm afraid a bloody massacre will be unavoidable. So..."

At this point, Lin Tian paused for a moment, then looked at Zhao Linger with an inquiring look and continued, "Linger, we now have two choices. Either you take action against these villains, or I will handle this matter. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Zhao Linger took a deep breath, and her beautiful and smart eyes instantly became extremely firm, looking straight at Lin Tian like two bright stars.

She opened her red lips slightly and said in a firm tone, "Brother Lin Tian, please believe me, let me get rid of them once and for all this time!"

After hearing these words, Lin Tian didn't say much. He just nodded slightly to express his trust and support for Zhao Linger.

Then, his eyes, as deep as the sea, stared quietly ahead, as if he had foreseen the fierce battle that was about to come.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Tian and Zhao Linger flashed and walked in the air like two lightning bolts, rushing straight towards the group of men in black hiding in the darkness.

Their figures drew graceful arcs in the air, causing a gust of strong wind to whistle past.

Just a moment later, the group of men in black sensed the threat from the air.

When they looked up and saw Zhao Linger approaching rapidly, their faces darkened and they glanced at each other quickly.

Immediately afterwards, these well-trained killers picked up the gleaming weapons in their hands without hesitation and rushed towards Zhao Linger like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

However, facing such a fierce attack from the enemy, Zhao Linger remained extremely calm.

She gently raised her jade hand and muttered something. In an instant, a dazzling magical light gushed out from her palm, like a roaring dragon rushing towards the men in black.

As time went on, the battle became more and more intense.

But what is amazing is that Zhao Linger always suppressed this group of men in black with an overwhelming advantage.

Every spell she cast hit the target accurately, repeatedly frustrating the attacks of the men in black.

In the end, after a thrilling and life-and-death struggle, the outcome was no surprise.

Relying on her unfathomable magic power and super high cultivation, Zhao Linger successfully killed the group of men in black one by one.

The originally noisy and chaotic battlefield gradually returned to calm.

After the battle, Zhao Linger slowly landed on the ground. Looking at the horrific corpses scattered around, her pretty face revealed a trace of shock and discomfort that was difficult to conceal.

After all, this was her first time experiencing such a bloody and cruel scene.

Although she had already prepared herself mentally for all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, the devastated scene before her still had a great impact on her.

Seeing this, Lin Tian patted her on the back and said, "Ling'er, you did a great job protecting Xianling Island and Grandma and the others."

Then, Lin Tian hugged Zhao Linger into his arms again and comforted her softly: "Linger, those people you killed were all bad guys, so don't feel too burdened and there's no need to be so sad!"

Lin Tian's gentle and considerate words seemed to have magical power. The moment they reached Zhao Linger's ears, they dispelled the haze lingering in her heart.

She slowly raised her head, and a faint smile gradually appeared on her originally tense face, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.

She blinked her big, watery eyes, looked at the man in front of her who made her feel at ease, and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Lin Tian..."

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar. It turned out that it was my grandmother and several maids who hurried here.

Grandma looked around anxiously at first, and only after confirming that everyone was safe did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, she quickly walked over to the bodies lying on the ground, squatted down and carefully turned them over. After a while, she found several strange-looking tokens from one of the bodies.

When she saw the pattern engraved on the token clearly, her face suddenly changed drastically. She cried out in shock, "Oh my! I never expected these guys to be from the Moon Worship Cult!"

Hearing her grandmother's exclamation, Zhao Linger couldn't help but feel curious. She asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Grandma, do you know them? What kind of organization is this Moon Worship Cult? Why have I never heard of it?"

You know, she was still young when she followed her grandmother to leave Nanzhao Kingdom, so she naturally knew very little about many things in the outside world.

Hearing this, a complicated expression appeared on grandma's weathered face. She slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on Zhao Linger's pretty face.

After staring for a moment, grandma sighed softly, and the sigh seemed to carry the heaviness and helplessness of the years.

Then, grandma's slightly hoarse but loving voice sounded, and she began to tell Zhao Linger the story that was buried deep in the dust of history - the grievances and hatreds between the Moon Worship Cult and them.

Grandma's words were like an ancient scroll, slowly unfolding, showing Zhao Linger the bloody battles, love and hate entanglements of the past.

When this story was finally told, grandma raised her head and turned her gaze to Lin Tian beside her, with a bit of pleading and expectation in her eyes.

She bowed slightly and said to Lin Tian, "My benefactor, now that the Moon Worship Cult has come to our door, I'm afraid this place is no longer safe. I beg you to take good care of Ling'er and protect her in the future."

Hearing this, Lin Tian nodded without hesitation. A resolute look appeared on his resolute and calm face, and he responded solemnly: "Don't worry, Grandma. Since I promised to protect Ling'er, I will do my best, even if it means going through fire and water!"
