Someone's Always Got Their Eye on Me

On the Ancient Beast Platform, Lin Dong, Mu Lingsha, Wu Yun, and other disciples from third-rate families who had previously been considered unsuccessful all ascended the podium to receive their awards.

The hunt in Qingyang Town concluded successfully. Most people were quite surprised by this year's hunt. The Xie Family and Lei Family, who had been spotted earlier, had not produced a single disciple.

As Ye Feng had predicted, the final championship title went to the Lin Family. Wu Yun's Mad Blade Martial Hall came in second, followed closely by Mu Lingsha's Mu Family Village.

As for the Lei Family and Xie Family involved in this hunt, they gained absolutely nothing.

"Where's Lei Li? Where did he go?"

"Where is Xie Yingying? Is she dead?"

The heads of the Lei Family and Xie Family could not accept this reality.

"Patriarch, could it be that the Lin Family and the Mad Blade Martial Hall joined forces to kill our family's disciples?" a member of the Lei Family asked Lei Bao, the patriarch of the Lei Family.

"I want to see him alive or dead." Lei Bao stared intently at Lin Dong. He decided that if this was truly the case, he would wage war against the Lin Family and the Mad Blade Martial Hall.

Lin Dong noticed Lei Bao's gaze, but he simply ignored it.

As night deepened, the Lei Family hall was brightly lit, yet a somber atmosphere hung in the air. The heads of the Xie Family and Lei Family sat inside, listening to reports from their family disciples.

"Master, as you instructed, we conducted a thorough search with the Xie Family. We still haven't found any members of the family."

"How is that possible? How could they disappear without a trace, neither alive nor dead?"

"Patriarch, do you think they might have been... eaten by Demon Beast?"

"Impossible. They are not weak. Even if they were facing a master of the Earth Yuan Realm, they would still make a splash even if they died. How could they not leave a trace?"

Lei Bao, the patriarch of the Lei Family, never expected that Lin Dong possessed the Bone Chilling Flame. All the disciples from the Lei Family and Xie Family who participated in the hunt were reduced to ashes by him. In such a vast forest, how could some ashes not be able to be hidden?

"Patriarch, it must be the Lin Family and the Mad Blade Martial Hall who did this. They're the only ones in Qingyang Town who dare to oppose us. Lei Li and Xie Yingying should already be dead. In my opinion, let's go all out and start a war against them!"

"Good."

hiss

Lei Bao had just responded when he couldn't help but shiver. "Strange, why is it so cold?"

"Lei Bao, and the head of the Xie Family, you're here too."

Lin Dong's voice came from outside the hall.

A young man stood on the roof of the corridor in the courtyard of the hall.

Lin Dong, standing on the eaves, looking down at the Xie Family and Lei Family members who were walking out of the hall.

"Lin Dong, what brings you to my Lei Family so late at night?" Lei Bao asked.

"I ask you, Lin Dong, did you kill the members of my Xie Family?" The Xie Family head directly questioned Lin Dong.

"So what if it is? Before you die, I'll make sure you know why. Every member of your family who participated in this hunt will die in my Bone Chilling Flame. Tonight, I'm following my master's orders to annihilate both of your families," Lin Dong replied.

"You brat? You're asking for death." Lei Bao stomped his foot and flew towards Lin Dong.

"Go, Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus." Lin Dong, and the pale white lotus in his hand shot towards Lei Bao.

At the same time, Lin Dong lightly touched the ground with his toes and actually... actually moved away from the Lei Family Courtyard.

boom

The ground shook violently.

The air initially contracted towards the Lei Family Courtyard, then the suction transformed into thrust, sweeping wildly through the surroundings. A pale white light illuminated the sky over Qingyang Town. A mushroom cloud rose from the Lei Family Courtyard.

"Puff!"

Blood trickled from the corner of Lin Dong's mouth, and he spat out the remaining blood. His eyes were filled with fervor and shock as he stared blankly at the Lei Family Courtyard, now razed to the ground.

The Lei Family Courtyard and all Lei Family members, regardless of age or gender, were instantly wiped out by the Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus. It was as if they had never existed.

"Is this the power of the Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus?"

Lin Dong muttered to himself, feeling quite satisfied with the power of the ultimate technique that Ye Feng had taught him.

"Next up is the Xie Family."

Lin Dong's gaze was fixed on another large courtyard in Qingyang Town.

A moment later, another mushroom cloud appeared.

Lin Family Courtyard

Even after the Lin Family Courtyard was moved to Lin Dong's house, the Lin Family members could still see the two mushroom clouds rising into the sky over Qingyan Town.

"Dong'er succeeded," Lin Xiao said.

"From now on, only the Lin Family and the Mad Blade Martial Hall will remain in Qingyang Town." Lin Xiao's father, Lin Zhentian, felt a surge of excitement. The Xie Family and Lei Family, who had always been adversaries of the Lin Family, had become history.

Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao believed that it wouldn't be long before the people of Qingyang Town would forget about the Lei Family and Xie Family.

"Qingtan, why are you here so late?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Father, Wu Yun has arrived."

What's he doing here?

"They said they wanted to become disciples. They wanted to become disciples of Young Master Ye."

"Take Young Master Ye as his master? Him?"

"Um."

Lin Qingtan entered Ye Feng's room and soon met Ye Feng, explaining her purpose.

Ye Feng listened to Lin Qingtan's report, he used his soul power and indeed found Wu Yun kneeling at the bottom of the thousand steps leading to the Lin Family Courtyard.

Ye Feng used his soul power, and his voice reached Wu Yun's side.

"Wu Yun, what are you doing?"

Wu Yun looked around. Not seeing Ye Feng, his resolve hardened even further.

"Wu Yun has come as promised to become your disciple."

"You want to become my disciple? I never agreed to be your master."

"When you left today, you tapped my head three times. Then you turned and left. It meant that you were telling me to come and become your disciple at midnight tonight."

"Cut!"

Ye Feng laughed unkindly.

Sun Wukong came to mind.

Sun Wukong sought the elixir of immortality because of the way Bodhi Patriarch treated him; he understood Bodhi Patriarch's meaning.

However, Ye Feng really had no intention of taking Wu Yun as his disciple.

"Master, please accept my bow." Wu Yun made a gesture to kneel down in front of the Lin Family Courtyard on the steps, but a Space Lock held him up.

"Wu Yun, go back."

"I sincerely wish to become your disciple. If you... if you do not agree, I will remain kneeling here forever."

"Your trick won't work on me."

Even after Ye Feng finished speaking, Wu Yun still showed no sign of leaving.

"Wu Yun, I'll give you a chance. If you can climb these 1001 steps, traverse the Chaos God Light, and come before me within three years, I... will accept you as my disciple," Ye Feng said, changing his mind.

Wu Yun's aptitude for cultivating immortality is not bad.

In the Douluo Plane, Tang San spent a year climbing 333 steps.

Ye Feng gave Wu Yun three years to climb the 1001st step. If Wu Yun succeeded, it meant his talent surpassed Tang San's. If he failed, three years of cultivation within the Chaos God Light would be enough to transform Wu Yun, making him an unparalleled powerhouse.
