In the high-stakes world of Renegade Immortal (仙逆), the latest power struggle has erupted into a full-scale war. Protagonist Wang Lin (王林) has committed the ultimate act of defiance, and now the three most terrifying cultivators in the starry sky are hunting him. This isn't just a simple chase; it is a convergence of pride, loss, and cosmic ambition. As Tian Yunzi (天运子), Ling Tianhou (凌天侯), and the Blood Ancestor converge on the Demon Spirit Land, Wang Lin finds himself with nowhere left to run in the entire star domain, forcing him to stake everything on a desperate gamble into the unknown.
The Puppet Master's Fury
The trouble began when Wang Lin made a terrifying discovery. He learned from Du Jian (杜建) that Tian Yunzi, his supposed mentor, is not a benevolent teacher but a predator. Tian Yunzi treats his disciples as prey, planting a Spiritual Brand within them to later devour their cultivation. This was the fate of Sun Yun, and Wang Lin realized he was next on the menu. Refusing to be a lamb for slaughter, he took the dangerous step of forcibly removing the brand from his body.
The moment the brand was destroyed, Tian Yunzi felt it. For a master of his caliber, this was the ultimate insult. He has no tolerance for "hunting targets" that resist. To him, a disobedient disciple is a flawed product that must be immediately recalled and destroyed. Wang Lin's act of self-preservation was interpreted by Tian Yunzi as an act of rebellion that warranted the swiftest and most severe punishment. The plan was set in motion instantly.
Tian Yunzi did not hesitate. He advanced his scheme to enter the Demon Spirit Land by a full decade and sent a transmission across thousands of miles to his two major rivals: Ling Tianhou and the Blood Ancestor. His message was simple and absolute: Wang Lin must not be allowed to live. For the first time, these three titans of the cultivation world found common ground, united by their shared desire to see one fugitive destroyed.
A Father's Grief and a Mentor's Rage
Ling Tianhou had his own reasons for wanting blood. Upon arriving at the Demon Spirit Land, he immediately noticed the silence of his beloved Sword Xiao (肖) Twelve Disciples. These were his favorites, each gifted with a life-saving sword intent. To ensure their safety, he even assigned the powerful Greedy Wolf to protect them. Discovering that nearly all of them were dead sent him into a violent fury. His careful arrangements had been shattered.
The betrayal cut deep. It wasn't just the enemy; it was his own agent. Greedy Wolf had trapped the Sword Xiao Twelve in the Tidal Abyss, attempting to sacrifice them for the Tidal Token. While Greedy Wolf failed to get the token and lost his second true body, the Ancient Thunder Dragon, he successfully shifted the blame. When Ling Tianhou summoned him, Greedy Wolf pointed an accusing finger directly at Wang Lin, painting him as the architect of the disciples' demise. Ling Tianhou's grief quickly turned into a burning hatred for Wang Lin.
Meanwhile, the Blood Ancestor was plagued by a different kind of torment: a father's fear. He knew his precious daughter, Yao Xixue (姚惜雪), was in danger. He had sent her to the Demon Spirit Land to secure a strategic advantage, but the plan had backfired horribly. Not only was Yao Xixue captured and imprisoned by Wang Lin, but the Blood Ancestor also lost the secret Fourth Void Mansion, a treasure he intended to use as leverage against Tian Yunzi and Ling Tianhou. Every scheme and investment had been stolen by one man.
To the Blood Ancestor, this was a catastrophic loss. Everything he had prepared—his daughter, his secret weapon, his future negotiations—had been taken by Wang Lin. It felt as though he had spent centuries weaving a beautiful robe, only for a stranger to walk away wearing it. His desire to find Wang Lin was driven by a need for revenge and the desperate hope of rescuing his daughter before it was too late.
Falling into the Abyss
As the three masters closed in, Wang Lin stood at the edge of the Tidal Abyss. He knew that staying in this starry sky meant certain death. The combined force of Tian Yunzi, Ling Tianhou, and the Blood Ancestor was an inescapable net. There was no alliance he could form, no shelter he could find. His only option was to leave the known star domain entirely and flee to the distant Luo Tian Star Domain, a place beyond their immediate reach.
Tian Yunzi made a final grab for him, extending his mighty power to capture the fugitive. But Wang Lin had already taken the ultimate risk. Instead of fighting the pull of the Tidal Abyss, he merged with it, using its terrifying suction power as his escape route. This act of surrender to the abyss' force created an obstacle that even Tian Yunzi could not overcome in time. The three masters could only watch as their prey was pulled into the depths.
In the end, the grand convergence of the three most powerful cultivators amounted to nothing. They arrived at the Demon Spirit Land to find it empty. Wang Lin was gone, swept away to another realm, and he had taken the precious Tidal Token with him. Their fury, their armies, and their centuries of planning were rendered useless. Wang Lin had escaped not by winning the fight, but by refusing to play by their rules, leaving the masters holding nothing but the cold emptiness of the space he once occupied.
