Clan Extermination War!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

[Proficiency: Yellow Emperor Sword Canon 80/100]

[Proficiency: Yellow Emperor Sword Canon 81/100]

[Proficiency...]

Lin You was still in seclusion, cultivating.

Suddenly, the system's notification rang in his mind.

[Quest Issued: Clan Extermination War!]

[Quest Reward: Super Crit Roulette x2]

[Crit Duration: One day!]

[Note: The Super Roulette guarantees at least a hundredfold acceleration!]

Lin You was dumbfounded.

What the hell?

Extermination?

Whose clan?

The Lin Family?

No way!

We haven't even advanced to the Sixth-grade Star Domain yet.

But this Super Crit Roulette...

It looked way too tempting no matter how you saw it!

At minimum a hundredfold, at most...

That would be insane!

Thinking of this, Lin You couldn't help the smile creeping onto his lips.

He was already fantasizing about soaring through the skies and doing whatever he pleased.

"Just a little more..."

"I'll break through to the True Fire Refining Spirit Realm soon!"

"Charge!!"

Lin You roared.

The spiritual energy within him had reached its threshold.

The True Fire Refining Spirit Realm—

that was the first step into stepping into a Martial Immortal.

Tempering the soul.

Once martial arts reached the profound, with the right opportunity, one could directly break through to the Martial Immortal Realm!

--Boom.

A terrifyingly powerful wave of air burst from around him.

The next second, a muffled explosion like a gourd cracking rang out from within Lin You's body.

Then his aura began to plummet wildly.

A miniature version of himself, identical in every way, erupted inside his body.

The moment it appeared, the miniature figure began to pulse like it was giving back.

Lin You's aura gradually climbed again.

True Fire Refining Spirit Realm!

He'd made it!

He clenched his fist and threw a light punch.

The void shattered inch by inch, groaning dully as if unable to bear the strain.

"So strong."

"If I fought Qin Feng right now..."

"I probably wouldn't even need to throw a move—just my pressure alone could crush him!"

Feeling the power in his palm, Lin You couldn't help but marvel.

He was just about to share his joy.

But then he was stunned to find.

That throughout the entire Lin Family, aside from the unrelated servants.

Not a single one of his uncles was present.

"Brother Tao?"

"Where is everyone?"

Lin You's heart sank.

Combined with the task the system had issued earlier.

He vaguely sensed something was wrong.

"..."

"Don't tell me that while I was in seclusion..."

"The Lin Family got wiped out..."

Lin You swallowed hard, slowly extending his Spiritual Sense.

But after searching the entire Lin Family.

He still couldn't find any trace of them.

"Waaah..."

"Uncle, uncles."

"You died so miserably."

"Whoever killed you, tell me in a dream tonight!"

"I'll avenge you!"

Lin You's tears were about to fall.

In just two short days.

The once harmonious family had vanished into thin air.

"Is this the fate of the system?"

"I don't want a doomsday start, dammit!"

Lin You wailed.

The next second.

Eight figures rushed in from outside the courtyard.

Their clothes were stained with blood, and they were gasping for breath.

Their auras were also extremely unstable.

Before Lin You could even ask what was going on, Lin Tao slapped him across the head.

"You little brat."

"What the hell are you babbling about?"

"Did cultivation rot your brain?"

"We could hear you wailing from a mile away!"

Lin You clutched the back of his head in pain.

"You guys aren't dead?"

—Smack.

Second Elder Lin Dong followed up with another slap.

"Can't you wish for something good?"

Right after, Under Lin You's bewildered gaze.

Everyone tossed over a storage pouch.

Opening it.

Inside were piles upon piles of spirit stones and all kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

If this were taken out.

It could probably nurture several True Core Realm cultivators!

The spirit stones were piled up like mountains.

Cheaper than roadside pebbles.

"This..."

"What the hell?"

"Brother Tao, what did you guys go do?"

Lin You asked, dumbfounded.

Lin Tao flashed a smug grin and stuck out his thumb.

"Swift vengeance."

"We hit the Li Family before they were ready."

"Those bastards were planning a sneak attack on us tomorrow, so we wiped one out today."

"One less to fight tomorrow."

What the fuck?

Lin You's face twitched.

So all this stuff was looted from their homes.

Clan Extermination War...

What the hell?

Eighth Elder cackled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"No doubt."

"Blood feuds have to be settled sooner or later."

"Those old bastards probably never knew we were watching them every second!"

"You'er, the biggest share in that storage pouch is from your Eighth Master!"

Sixth Elder wasn't having it.

"Don't listen to his crap."

"Mine's clearly the biggest—I snatched it right out of his storage pouch."

"You'er, take a good look. Your Sixth Uncle is the one who treats you best."

"Wait? Who's Eighth Master? Old Eighth, you trying to pull one over on me?"

The two instantly started brawling in the void.

The way they went at it.

You'd think they were really fighting to the death.

Eighth Elder roared.

"I knew that damn Rainbow Fruit didn't just vanish for no reason."

"I told you to take the pouch, and you played thief!"

Sixth Elder's face reddened, and he stuck out his neck stubbornly.

"What's yours is mine."

"How can taking your own stuff be called stealing?"

The void shattered inch by inch.

The two were in full swing.

Suddenly, the sky changed color.

Lin You thought they'd actually lost their tempers and quickly tried to break it up.

"Two uncles."

"Stop fighting!"

"You both have more!"

"More than Brother Tao, alright?"

The next second.

A figure shot out.

Eighth Elder was slammed deep into the ground, coughing up blood.

His aura plummeted to the brink.

On the verge of collapse!

"What's going on?"

"We're all brothers here."

"Old Sixth, don't you have any sense of restraint?"

Lin Tao let out a furious shout.

But right after that, the faint voice of the Eighth Elder rang out.

"It's... them."

"Go help Sixth Brother, now!"

"The grand formation blocks perception—they came prepared!"

--Boom.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened in an instant.

Second Elder Lin Dong's sleeves fluttered.

The mist shrouding the sky was swept away in an instant, revealing a figure.

Inside the red square formation, four Martial Dao Profound Realm cultivators were besieging the Sixth Elder!

"Sixth!"

"Lin Kai!"

"Quick, save him!"

Lin Tao led the other five elders charging into the sky.

But before they could get close, four figures emerged from the void, blocking their path.

Their auras were as decayed as ancient tombs, visibly aged.

Alongside them appeared the heads of the Four Great Families.

Counting those inside the formation, that made twelve Martial Dao Profound Realm cultivators in total!

The Daoist Robe Old Man's smile was icy.

"Fellow Daoist, in such a rush—have you run into trouble?"

"We all share the same domain; lending a hand isn't out of the question."

The Two-Headed Divine Shadow blocked their retreat with five others.

"Why waste words with them?"

"The Lin Family will be utterly wiped out today!"

Inside the formation, the Sixth Elder, under assault from four Martial Dao Profound Realm cultivators, was at a disadvantage.

No matter how strong the Lin Family's fighters were, they couldn't take on four opponents of the same realm alone!

Lin Tao clenched his fists, blood seeping from his palms.

Without a single wasted word, "Kill!"

A sky-shaking aura erupted!

"If you want to destroy our Lin Family,"

"do it in your next life!"

Lin Tao charged out first, clashing with three enemies in a chaotic melee.

Every second the Sixth Elder was surrounded, his danger grew.

The Eighth Elder had lost his combat ability.

The Lin Family was forced

to fight six against eight!

"Big Brother!"

"I'll help you!"

Second Elder Lin Dong roared, breaking free from his own entanglement.

"Don't worry about me!"

"Save Lin Kai!"

Lin Tao turned and barked.

In an instant, outnumbered yet holding his ground without falling behind!

The Daoist Robe Old Man suddenly spat out a mouthful of vital blood.

His already formidable aura surged once more.

"Hold them off!"

"Once the battle inside the grand formation ends."

"That will be the Lin Family's moment of destruction!"
