Lin Zhan's eyes brimmed with tears.
These past few days, he had been living in constant fear.
After all, the Lin Clan had stood for a thousand years. Those thousand years had been fraught with hardship, but never had they been driven into such a desperate corner. Without outside aid, the Lin Clan would very likely be wiped out by the Xu Clan. The hatred between the two clans was simply impossible to reconcile.
That was why, in his letter, Lin Zhan had repeatedly urged Lin Feng to find an Outer Disciple from the Limitless Sacred Land and have them come lend the clan support.
Who would have thought that Lin Feng himself was an Inner Disciple of the Limitless Sacred Land!
Such an incomparably noble status was beyond anything Lin Zhan had dared to imagine!
It could be said that if the Great Yan Imperial House learned this news, they would absolutely send imperial relatives to pay a personal visit. Fine gifts would arrive in an endless stream, and all the great families of the imperial capital would come to offer their congratulations!
That was the majesty of the Limitless Sacred Land!
Inner Disciples were true disciples. Should anything happen to them, the Limitless Sacred Land could never stand idly by!
The Lin Clan's ancestor also wept with joy!
Over these past days, he had continuously called upon old connections, hoping to find someone capable of contending with the Xu Clan's Qilin Prodigy. Yet his former friends had vanished one after another as though swallowed by the earth, directly refusing to acknowledge him.
It had left the Lin Clan's ancestor lost and bewildered, feeling that the Lin Clan's destruction was imminent.
Yet who would have expected this?
The Lin Clan had produced a Qilin Prodigy as well!
Strictly speaking, an Inner Disciple of the Limitless Sacred Land still had a certain gap compared to a true disciple of the Tyrant Blade Sect.
After all, the latter was an absolute core figure of the Tyrant Blade Sect—someone who could even compete for the position of sect master in the future!
An Inner Disciple of the Limitless Sacred Land, on the other hand, was relatively ordinary and still far from being qualified to vie for the position of headmaster of the Limitless Sacred Land.
But it was enough.
With this connection, even if that Xu Clan Qilin Prodigy was a true disciple of the Tyrant Blade Sect, he would not dare lay a hand on the Lin Clan!
The Lin Clan was saved!
At that moment, Elder Zhu of the Limitless Sacred Land watched everything from the sky and could not help smiling faintly. Returning home in glory seemed to be everyone's dream.
Elder Zhu had already learned what had happened to the Lin Clan. His gaze turned thoughtfully toward a certain direction, where the aura of a Venerable Realm expert seemed to flicker...
Elder Zhu narrowed his eyes. If there truly was a need, he would take action as well.
After all, Lin Feng's talent was now exceptionally high. Even mighty figures beyond the Venerable Realm had taken notice of him. His future was bound to be limitless!
Adding flowers to brocade was easy; sending charcoal in the snow was far too difficult.
Below.
Seeing the excited expressions on his elders' faces, Lin Feng felt deeply moved.
Sure enough, one still needed strength!
Without strength, the Lin Clan truly would have been destroyed.
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard.
The footsteps were extremely urgent. Before long, two Lin Clan disciples came running over with panicked expressions.
"Clan Head, Clan Head!"
"Something terrible has happened! The Xu Clan sent people over and demanded that all the Lin Clan's upper echelons go discuss matters with them. The Xu Clan's people used brutal methods—many of our clan elders have been injured!"
"Clan Head, judging by their clothing, they do not seem to be from the Xu Clan. They may be disciples of the Tyrant Blade Sect!"
Upon hearing this.
Lin Zhan's body jolted as he looked at the newcomers.
The two Lin Clan disciples who had rushed over were also stunned, because they saw Lin Feng in the courtyard. They both knew him. After all, he was the clan head's son, the true young master. When they were children, they had often trailed behind Lin Feng.
Seeing Lin Feng's return, the two disciples hurriedly greeted him.
Lin Feng gave a slight nod.
"The Xu Clan has gone too far!" Lin Zhan gritted his teeth. Was this how they came to invite them to discuss matters?
They had directly injured the Lin Clan's elders—what was the meaning of this?!
Arrogant! Far too arrogant! Their insolence had reached the extreme!
One Lin Clan disciple said bitterly, "Clan Head, those two disciples who came are both extraordinarily powerful. They should... should be above the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. They are very likely in the Palace of Destiny Realm!"
The Palace of Destiny Realm!
At those words, Lin Zhan's pupils contracted. The Lin Clan only had one Palace of Destiny Realm expert—the Lin Clan's ancestor.
Who would have thought that two people sent over at random would both be in the Palace of Destiny Realm? No wonder they could injure the clan elders!
Clearly, the Xu Clan did not possess such terrifying power. There was an overwhelming chance they were disciples of the Tyrant Blade Sect!
At that moment, Lin Zhan looked toward the Lin Clan's ancestor. It seemed that only the ancestor could step forward now.
Yet the Lin Clan ancestor's gaze fell upon Lin Feng!
Because he knew how powerful Lin Feng was—at the very least, he was at the Dao Condensation Realm!
"Feng'er..." the Lin Clan ancestor said.
Lin Feng's expression remained calm. "Let's go take a look."
But inwardly, he sneered.
Two Palace of Destiny Realm disciples dared to run wild in his clan?
That was not how one went looking for death.
He had only just emerged from seclusion, his strength overwhelmingly powerful. His aura immediately erupted once more, and an aura belonging to the Palace of Destiny Realm appeared.
At that instant, everyone present felt it.
Their Lin Clan had a Palace of Destiny Realm expert too!
Then Lin Feng walked at the very front, with Lin Zhan and the others following behind him!
At that moment, within the Lin Clan's main hall.
Countless elders glared furiously at the two Tyrant Blade Sect disciples who had arrived.
Both Tyrant Blade Sect disciples were lean in build, with a saber strapped across each of their backs. The stench of blood around them was thick, as though their blades had been steeped in the blood of countless people.
The two Tyrant Blade Sect disciples were incomparably arrogant and haughty. Their gazes seemed as if they intended to crush everything beneath them.
"Where is your Lin Clan's clan head? Why has he not come out yet?"
"Utterly outrageous! The mere clan head of the Lin Clan has not even shown himself before us core disciples of the Tyrant Blade Sect. How arrogant!"
"Although Senior Brother Xu told us not to destroy the Lin Clan for now, I think killing a few of them to feed my treasured blade should not be much of a problem, right?"
The two disciples spoke one after another, their tones grim and menacing.
Quite a few Lin Clan elders felt ice seep through their bodies!
Were they about to begin a slaughter?
The entire Lin Clan had only the Lin Clan ancestor in the Palace of Destiny Realm. The other elders were merely in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.
If these two Tyrant Blade Sect disciples began a massacre, even the Lin Clan ancestor might not be able to stop them!
Forget stopping them—even if the Lin Clan ancestor fought them, he might not even be able to escape!
After all, he was already advanced in years, his vitality declining. How could he compare to people whose blood and qi were at their peak?
"Who cares? Let's make a move first." A ferocious grin appeared on one Tyrant Blade Sect disciple's face as he removed the great saber from his back. With a boom, the heaven-and-earth essence energy poured into it, activating it!
The great saber immediately trembled, as though roars were emanating from it. Those roars were like a terrifying god of death, coming to claim lives!
The other Tyrant Blade Sect disciple merely watched calmly. The two had already agreed to take turns. Once the first finished killing, it would be his turn.
Boom!
In that instant.
The Tyrant Blade Sect disciple swung his great saber in a horizontal slash. A terrifying blood-red light instantly appeared, as though it would devour souls and seize spirits!
Many Lin Clan elders were overcome with terror. They wanted to retreat, only to discover that there was nowhere for them to retreat to!
That crimson saber light was like a life-reaping chain, seeking to swallow more than half the Lin Clan members present.
At that critical moment, a streak of sword light suddenly shot over from afar, as though it had crossed the river of stars to arrive!
