Four-Seal Stacking

"Your attacks are completely useless against me," Lin Langtian said with a smug smile.

"Haha, do you think you're the only one with a Spirit Treasure? It's just that dealing with trash like you isn't worth using one." Lin Mu smiled, sounding somewhat blustering.

His ten fingers moved so swiftly they became phantoms. The energy of heaven and earth gathered around Lin Mu, forming a storm. The immense Primal Energy made everyone feel an overwhelming pressure.

"Vermilion Bird Seal!"

"Black Tortoise Seal!"

"White Tiger Seal!"

"Azure Dragon Seal!"

"Four-Seal Stacking!"

The four sacred beasts cried out in unison, and heaven and earth lost their color. With a low shout from Lin Mu, the four great sacred beasts charged wildly toward Lin Langtian. The Vermilion Bird's blazing flames spread across the land, the Black Tortoise's shell was as unyielding as a boulder, the White Tiger's roar shook the heavens, and the Azure Dragon churned the clouds and rain.

The smile vanished from Lin Langtian's face at the sight. Although the Spirit Wheel Mirror could reflect attacks, there was a limit to what it could repel.

Primal Energy surged forth and poured into the Spirit Wheel Mirror, transforming into black light that gathered above it.

The four sacred beasts descended from the heavens, breaking through the clouds as they rushed toward Lin Langtian.

Boom!

Primal Energy erupted. The massive rock beneath Lin Langtian's feet exploded, sending fragments flying in every direction, while Lin Langtian continued to hold on with difficulty.

Everyone present fixed their eyes on Lin Langtian. Could he withstand Lin Mu's earth-shattering attack?

"Pfft!"

Lin Langtian hardened his heart and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. After absorbing it, the Spirit Wheel Mirror emitted a scarlet glow. Lin Langtian knew that doing everything in his power to resist was his only chance of survival.

"Spirit Wheel Mirror, Heaven and Earth Wheel Rotation!"

Lin Langtian's vicious shout rang out as Primal Energy poured into the Spirit Wheel Mirror as though his life depended on it. The blood-red glow flared brilliantly, and a crimson beam burst from the mirror, charging fiercely toward the four sacred beasts.

Bang!

A violent storm of Primal Energy spread through the sky. The crimson light struggled against the four sacred beasts, but the beasts clearly held the upper hand.

"Lin Langtian, do you think this is enough to stop me?" Lin Mu said with a smile.

His hands formed seals rapidly once more. The dimming light around the four sacred beasts brightened again, instantly driving back the crimson beam as the beasts charged forward.

Boom! Boom!

The four sacred beasts slammed into the Spirit Wheel Mirror, and the light on its surface immediately dimmed considerably. The Earth-tier Spirit Treasure had clearly sustained some damage.

Pfft!

Although the Spirit Wheel Mirror blocked the impact of the four sacred beasts, Lin Langtian was still injured by the tremendous force. The churning blood and energy in his chest could no longer be suppressed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Lin Langtian, the number one genius of your Lin Clan isn't much after all. Don't worry, I won't kill you today. At the clan gathering, my second brother will defeat you. We'll reclaim the dignity my father lost back then," Lin Mu sneered.

"Kid, hand over the Spirit Treasure you took from me earlier. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting rough." Lin Mu turned toward Wang Yan, who stood nearby.

"The head of my Wang Family is in the Nirvana Realm. Do you think your little bit of strength lets you run wild?" Wang Yan said, even bringing up the Wang Clan.

"Haha, do you think I'm afraid? My master once said that being defeated by someone your own age only means you're trash. But if some old fossil bullies the young, he'll beat them so badly they won't know north from south. Forget one Wang Family—even the entire Great Yan Dynasty couldn't withstand a single slap from my master." Lin Mu laughed without the slightest fear.

Since he had already borrowed the tiger's might, he might as well see it through. As long as he made them wary and bought himself a little time, by the time they investigated, he would have long surpassed some trash who had only just entered the Nirvana Realm.

"I'll count to three. If you still don't return my Spirit Treasure, don't blame me for being impolite," Lin Mu said.

"One!"

As Lin Mu counted, Primal Energy surged from his body, placing enormous pressure on Wang Yan and the gray-robed old man.

"Two!"

Lin Mu continued counting as killing intent burst from his body. Everyone nearby shuddered and unconsciously drew back their necks.

"I'll give it to you!" Just as Lin Mu was about to say three, Wang Yan could no longer hold out. He took out the Universe Bag, preparing to hand the Golden Spear over to Lin Mu.

"Throw the Universe Bag over as well. The contents inside will count as interest," Lin Mu said.

Wang Yan gritted his teeth and threw over the Universe Bag. He had already handed over the Golden Spear, so he no longer cared about what remained inside the bag.

Lin Mu caught the Universe Bag, checked it, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Since your attitude in admitting your mistake is fairly sincere, I'll let you off this time. If you dare steal my Spirit Treasure again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Lin Mu smiled.

Wang Yan nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. When had he ever stolen Lin Mu's Spirit Treasure?

"Xiao Dong, let's go!" Lin Mu called to Lin Dong and headed out of the mountain range. No one around them dared say a word.

Not long after they left, Lin Mu noticed someone following them in secret. He immediately knew who it was and smiled faintly. "Xiao Dong, you all go on ahead. I have something to take care of."

"Mm." Lin Dong nodded and left first with Qing Tan and Ziyue.

After Lin Dong had gone far away, a graceful figure appeared before Lin Mu.

"Miss Qingzhu, are you still following me because something is the matter?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.

"What happened in the Ancient Tomb must stay buried in your stomach. You must even forget it yourself and act as though it never happened," Ling Qingzhu said coldly.

"Impossible. Any woman this young master has slept with belongs to this young master," Lin Mu said.

"Are you seeking death? You will never understand the gap between you and me." Ling Qingzhu spoke coldly, Primal Energy flickering around her body as though she might strike at any moment.

"Isn't it just the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace? Its strongest expert is only in the Reincarnation Mirror Realm. What's so impressive about that? When the Hundred Dynasties War begins, I'll come find you." Lin Mu curled his lip.

"You know so much?" Ling Qingzhu asked in surprise.

"I know far more than you think I do. If that old man hadn't said my strength was still too low and given me some resources to remain in the Great Yan Dynasty for training, do you think the Great Yan Dynasty could produce a genius like me?" Lin Mu said with a smile.

"That has nothing to do with me. There will never be any possibility between us," Ling Qingzhu said coldly.

"No matter what you think, I'll come find you someday and take you away. If your master refuses, I'll cultivate until I'm stronger than her and snatch you out of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace!" Lin Mu declared domineeringly.

"You should wait until you reach that level before saying such things." Ling Qingzhu spoke coldly, then turned and left.

"Wait for me! I'll definitely come find you!" Lin Mu shouted.

Ling Qingzhu, who had already left, heard Lin Mu's words and felt an unfamiliar emotion stir within her. She still could not treat the man who had taken her body like a stranger.
