At this moment, Swallow spilled everything to Ryan Ling about what had gone down in the sect. After Lynn Long left, this woman named Hannah Yang started using her looks to win people over, all just to snatch the Saintess throne!
At first, grabbing the Saintess spot wasn't so easy for her, but somehow she hooked up with a powerful faction in the sect and got their backing. With their support, she finally became a Saintess candidate, then went nuts suppressing Lynn Long's crew. After that purge, almost all of Lynn's confidants were wiped out—Swallow was the only one left!
And they weren’t done yet—they wanted to use this chance to finish off Lynn Long for good. That’s why Lynn started coughing up blood, and it’s not over: if things keep going, she’s still in deep trouble. In the worst case, she might even start carving herself up, slicing out her own organs piece by piece. Total horror show. Basically, they hit Lynn with a brutal curse—one of those nasty spells that wreck everything. If it goes all the way, she might literally cut off her own flesh chunk by chunk.
So right now, that curse has got to go, and fast. If it’s not broken, Lynn’s done for—three days at the shortest, seven days tops!
With that info, Ryan Ling started scheming his next move. Since he couldn’t just stroll out of Elysium Sect, job one was to break the curse on Lynn Long—otherwise things would turn ugly real quick!
After a quick breather, Ryan followed Swallow’s directions straight to Hannah Yang’s place. She was the ringleader behind all this—if you wanted to break Lynn’s curse, taking out Hannah was priority number one!
"That big mansion up ahead is Hannah Yang's place. That bitch is inside, probably still dreaming about her so-called glory!" Swallow spat through gritted teeth.
"Got it. I’ll just go take her life now!" Ryan Ling gave a cold laugh. To him, that mansion might as well have zero defenses—if he wanted, he could blow the whole place up in a second. No hesitation at all; he stashed Swallow somewhere safe, then shot forward like a bolt of lightning. In a flash, he was gone!
"Damn, that’s fast!" Swallow jumped in shock. She hadn’t expected Ryan Ling to move like actual lightning. Gone in a blink, and with that kind of strength? Honestly, there probably weren’t many people in Elysium Sect who could even come close!
"Now this is luxury!" Ryan Ling had just stepped into Hannah Yang’s so-called mansion, and instantly felt how ridiculously lavish the place was—hundreds of times fancier than anywhere else. Plus, the defenses here were seriously tough; normal people couldn’t even get in. There was already a powerful holy aura in the air. Clearly, Hannah Yang saw herself as the real Saintess.
Clearly, Hannah Yang couldn’t wait another second! She was losing it—eyes wild, hands shaking with rage. If she didn’t get her way now, she’d probably explode on the spot.
“Got it, got it!” The men around her sounded like total lackeys, shouting their agreement right away. They were obviously terrified of Hannah Yang—not really her, but the big-shot faction backing her up. Ryan Ling knew that for sure.
But just then, a side door flew open and a panicked guy rushed in, blurting out, “Bad news! Something’s happened—someone snatched that woman away...”
“What? Speak up—what the hell happened? How could this even happen?” One of the men freaked out, and Hannah Yang’s face twisted too. She’d been angry before, but now she was losing it. If she didn’t wipe out Lynn Long and her whole crew tonight, she wasn’t getting any sleep!
“A guy just barged in out of nowhere—he’s insanely strong, like off-the-charts powerful! We couldn’t stop him at all. My big brother and the others... they’re all dead, dead...” The messenger was actually crying as he spoke!

“Quit your damn crying!” Hannah Yang was totally pissed and didn’t care what he had to say. Before he could finish, she smashed a fist into him—there was a huge boom, and the poor guy exploded on the spot, his body torn into pieces. Talk about tragic!
Seeing that guy get wasted like that, all the other men were scared out of their minds. They were terrified of Hannah Yang, but also super annoyed. If it wasn’t for the powerhouse backing her, nobody would care about her, let alone work for her—or get killed without fighting back.
“Find him! You’d better find that guy for me, or you can all just go die!” Hannah Yang screamed at the top of her lungs, and it still wasn’t enough—she kept yelling, “Go! Move it! What are you waiting for?!”
With Hannah Yang going berserk, none of the men dared hesitate for even a second—they scattered instantly. They had zero choice now; if they didn’t pull off this job, Hannah Yang would kill them all. She was the only Saintess candidate left, so her word was basically law—anyone who defied her was just asking to die.
But Ryan Ling wasn’t about to let these bastards escape—he was way above them now, and honestly, they were scum. With barely any effort, he sealed the whole building inside and out. In a blink, it was done. The people inside had no clue Ryan had already made his move; they just kept frantically trying to get out.
“Something’s wrong—big trouble! Looks like our room’s been sealed shut, we can’t get out at all! How is this even possible? Who did this?!”
“Yeah, we can’t get out either! What’s going on? Who the hell dares to make a move in Elysium Sect HQ? Freaking insane—whoever did this, show yourself!”
“This is nuts! Someone actually attacked us here? Was it that guy who snatched Swallow?”
...
Everyone started shouting—their anger was off the charts. They’d already taken enough crap from Hannah Yang, and now this? No way they could handle it. Of course, if they didn’t bust out now, Hannah would flip out and go after them too. So without a second thought, they all powered up, ready to fight their way out.
But there was no breaking out—Ryan Ling had the whole place locked down tight. Trying to escape was basically suicide. A bunch of guys tried to rush the exit and got hit with a massive shock, twitching like they’d grabbed a live wire. Eyes rolling back, strength draining—total insanity!
“How is this possible? What the hell is going on?” Now nobody dared rush forward. That scene had freaked them out—this opponent was way out of their league. Even Hannah Yang was getting nervous; you could see the fear in her eyes.
“Get word to the rest of the sect—call everyone here, we need backup to take him down for good!” Hannah Yang knew their current strength was useless against Ryan Ling. Only hope was to get reinforcements—fast!
But as soon as Hannah finished, one guy stammered, “Saintess, there’s no way to get a message out now. Every inch of space is locked down—we’re totally cut off!”
“No way! Try every exit—we’ve got tons of escape routes. I don’t believe he’s sealed every single one! Even if he’s an Immortal King, that’s impossible!” Hannah Yang shouted, full of arrogance. She just couldn’t accept that Ryan Ling had locked her down with no way out!
She tried to escape herself, but things didn’t go her way—every single passage was totally sealed, even her secret escape tunnels were blocked off!
“What the hell is this guy? How can he be so strong?” Hannah Yang couldn’t believe it. Everything was locked down, no way to escape, and now the air inside was getting thinner. If they didn’t break out soon, surviving here would be seriously tough!
“We’ve got nowhere left to go—charge!” Hannah Yang yelled, leading the way herself. But just as she was about to make her desperate dash, Ryan Ling made his move. His attack was off-the-charts powerful—a thunderous boom, and half her forces were slaughtered on the spot! Most of them were Hannah’s loyal followers. Ryan didn’t bother hiding at all; he just flashed out into the open. Everyone stared at him in terror—there was no way they could stand against him. Ryan’s strength was just on another level, smashing through everything!
“Who—who are you? Why do you have to mess with me?” Hannah Yang screamed hysterically, practically ready to fight Ryan to the death!

“I’m not here to chat. Stop tormenting Lynn Long right now, or I’ll skin you alive!” Ryan Ling wasn’t wasting words—his voice got louder and colder, his killing intent overflowing!
“You—you’re with that bitch?” Hannah Yang was absolutely furious, screaming like she was about to go berserk!
But before she could finish, Ryan Ling slapped her hard—CRACK! Hannah Yang went flying. The force was insane, and her men looked like they’d seen a ghost, all stumbling backward!
They all knew, better than anyone, they were totally outmatched by Ryan Ling!
“Shut down your damn Blood-Demon Array right now, or you’re all dead!” Ryan Ling wasn’t messing around—Lynn Long’s situation was dire, and if they didn’t stop that array fast, she’d be in real danger. Nothing else mattered; this had to be handled now!
Nobody dared speak. All eyes turned to Hannah Yang, who was burning with hate. She cursed at the top of her lungs, “Never! I’d rather die than give that little slut even a shred of hope!”
“Oh? Still got some backbone, huh?” Ryan Ling smirked. Without hesitation, he grabbed Hannah Yang and glared—her face looked like it was being sliced up with knives. Talk about tragic!
The men were so shocked they nearly spat blood—some were losing it, a few even dropped to their knees, begging for mercy. Guess they had some kind of bond with Hannah Yang after all!
“Go stop it—NOW! Or you’re all dead!” Ryan Ling shouted even louder, voice booming through the room!
The men nodded frantically, but just as they moved to shut down the Blood-Demon Array, Hannah Yang shrieked, “No way! If any of you try, I’ll make sure you die horribly!”
“What did you just say?” Ryan Ling had had enough. He grabbed Hannah Yang and snapped both her legs, then yelled, “Bitch, open your mouth again and I’ll break your arms too!”
Done with the drama, Ryan Ling turned to the men and shouted, “What are you waiting for? Go stop that array, or every last one of you dies—and she dies too!”
“Got it, I’m on it! Right now!” The men didn’t dare hesitate—they all nodded, knowing this was life or death. If Hannah Yang died here, the sect would execute them for sure. They needed her alive!
As soon as they spoke, some men rushed to shut down the Blood-Demon Array. But right at the crucial moment, Hannah Yang shrieked with all her might, “Don’t let that bastard boss you around! Even if I die here, I’ll make sure that little slut dies too!”
Ryan Ling hadn’t expected Hannah Yang to be so hardcore. She clung to him and suddenly started blazing with red light—actual flames! This woman was nuts, burning herself alive for a suicidal attack. No wonder she’d clawed her way to Saintess; she was ruthless!
“Damn, I really underestimated you. Not afraid to die, huh? Planning to take me down with you?” Ryan Ling shouted, attitude as tough as ever. Hannah Yang screamed back in response.
“You got that right! Even if I die, you’re coming with me—I refuse to believe you can survive my self-destruction!” Hannah Yang was completely unhinged. Her men’s eyes blazed too; they knew if she died, they were doomed anyway. Might as well go out with a bang and take the enemy with them. That way, even if they died, at least they’d be remembered as loyal in the sect!
The whole crew rushed Ryan Ling, blocking every escape route. They all started burning with red flames, totally losing it—just trying to kill Ryan and go down together. Pure madness!
Things got seriously grim. To outsiders, Ryan looked like he was doomed—no Immortal Kings around, but these were all Saint Immortals, and their rank wasn’t low. They weren’t just fighting; they were blowing themselves up! That kind of self-destruction was a hundred times stronger than their normal attacks. The intensity was terrifying—like the sky was falling!
Everyone went wild, unleashing their power. The whole Saintess Hall shook with chaos—Ryan was right in the blast zone. If this went off, he’d be dead for sure. No way out!
But then, something unbelievable happened. Ryan Ling leapt into the air, his power exploding out—way beyond Saint Immortal level. In an instant, he froze everyone’s self-destruct move, locking them in place like they’d been paralyzed. It was torture!
“What are you? This can’t be real! You’re just some low-level Saint Immortal—how can you be this strong? Impossible!” Hannah Yang was totally losing it. She’d thought she could take him down with her, but now she didn’t even have the chance. It was pure agony.
“You want to take me down with you? You wish. These losers are just signing their own death warrants—so I’ll send you all to hell right now!” Ryan Ling didn’t hesitate. His mind made up, he unleashed his power; the men’s bodies exploded, the whole place rocked with killing intent—total carnage!
As soon as they spoke, some men rushed to shut down the Blood-Demon Array. But right at the crucial moment, Hannah Yang shrieked with all her might, “Don’t let that bastard boss you around! Even if I die here, I’ll make sure that little slut dies too!”
