At this moment, countless members of the Lin Clan watched Lin Feng with excited expressions.
The Lin Clan's true dragon!
For a thousand years, the strongest expert in the Lin Clan had only been in the Dao Condensation Realm. That had already been a goal the Lin Clan yearned for beyond measure.
Yet today, Lin Feng had displayed strength nearly equal to that of a Dao Condensation Realm expert at such a young age.
How far could he go in the future?
The Venerable Realm?!
At this thought, many Lin Clan members began breathing heavily. They did not dare imagine it—simply did not dare continue imagining.
A Venerable!
If the Lin Clan produced a Venerable, then, without the slightest exaggeration, their Lin Clan could change the dynasty and become the rightful rulers of the Great Yan Dynasty!
"Young Master!"
"Thank you, Young Master!"
"If not for the Young Master today, more than half of us Lin Clan members would have died!"
The Lin Clan members were stirred with emotion.
Many wore expressions of utmost reverence, even more respectful than they usually were toward the Lin Clan Ancestor.
Some even directly knelt in worship before Lin Feng. He was their savior, after all—what was wrong with kneeling before him?
Lin Feng's expression remained calm as he said, "We are all of the same lineage. There is no need for this."
Then, he turned his gaze toward Lin Zhan at the side. "Father, where is the Xu Clan?"
At those words, Lin Zhan's expression changed slightly. "Feng'er, are you going to the Xu Clan now?"
"That's right." Lin Feng remained composed. "The Xu Clan has chosen the road to death themselves. They dared send two small fry to invade the Lin Clan; their destruction is not far off."
Everyone swallowed hard. If Lin Feng had said this three years ago, they would only have thought him mad. But now that he had displayed incomparably powerful strength, who would dare question him?
"Feng'er, it is said that the Xu Clan's Qilin Prodigy has a Dao Condensation Realm expert by his side. I know you are strong, but the Dao Condensation Realm..." Lin Zhan was concerned for Lin Feng.
After all, the Dao Condensation Realm was above the Palace of Destiny Realm. Although the strength Lin Feng had displayed was formidable, could he truly fight a genuine Dao Condensation Realm expert?
"The Dao Condensation Realm?"
Lin Feng's expression remained indifferent. Clearly, that Dao Condensation Realm expert was no peerless genius. After all, the Tyrant Blade Sect was only at this level; it was impossible for it to possess any top-tier genius.
The Lin Clan members believed this was all of Lin Feng's strength.
Yet they did not know that Lin Feng had not gone all out at all.
He had not activated the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, nor had he used his Half-Saint-grade Divine Ability. That was his absolute trump card. Even if a Dao Condensation Realm expert attacked, Lin Feng was confident he could sever their head with a single sword.
After all.
That was a Half-Saint-grade Divine Ability!
In the Azurebillow Domain, let alone a force like the Tyrant Blade Sect, even within the Limitless Sacred Land, Half-Saint-grade Divine Abilities were incomparably precious. Ordinary people were not qualified to learn them.
Not to mention that Lin Feng had already cultivated his Half-Saint-grade Divine Ability to perfection. That was even more terrifying.
"No matter. I can handle it," Lin Feng said.
Lin Zhan looked at Lin Feng. The latter's confidence seemed ready to overflow. Recalling Lin Feng's attack just now, Lin Zhan could not help wondering whether Lin Feng possessed some powerful trump card that allowed him not to fear the Dao Condensation Realm.
That was right!
Since he had a powerful trump card, there was no need to cower and shrink back!
At that thought, fire surged in Lin Zhan's heart as well. These past few days, the entire Lin Clan had been restless with fear, worried that the Xu Clan's Qilin Prodigy would bring calamity down upon them one day.
But now, their Lin Clan had produced a true dragon!
Why should they keep hiding?
"Good!" Lin Zhan said. "Feng'er, I'll take you there."
Lin Feng nodded slightly.
Just as they were about to leave.
Lin Feng suddenly thought of something. He halted and said to the Lin Clan Ancestor and the many Lin Clan elders, "Ancestor, Elders, come with us."
Everyone was stunned, unable to understand what Lin Feng meant.
"The Xu Clan is destined for destruction. At the same time, it is time for our Lin Clan to shake the entire Great Yan Dynasty and become one of its foremost aristocratic clans," Lin Feng said calmly.
Everyone was shaken.
They had not expected Lin Feng's ambitions to be so great.
Many people became excited. With such a Young Master, why would the Lin Clan fear that it would not prosper?
Then, everyone headed together toward the Xu Clan.
At this moment.
The Xu Clan!
The Xu Clan had usually been only a second- or third-rate aristocratic clan in the Great Yan Dynasty. In the eyes of true powers, it was nothing at all.
But things were different now.
That Xu Clan disciple who had joined the Tyrant Blade Sect had returned—and he had actually become a core disciple!
Core disciples held extremely high status, akin to the ten sequences of the Limitless Sacred Land. They were figures qualified to compete for the position of sect master!
At that level, barring any unforeseen circumstances, reaching the Venerable Realm in the future was already a sure thing!
The Dao Condensation Realm was even less worth mentioning.
Within the Great Yan Dynasty, Dao Condensation Realm experts already held sway over the rise and fall of all things!
When the Great Yan Dynasty learned that the Xu Clan's Qilin Prodigy had returned, the Xu Clan's threshold was nearly worn flat by visitors.
Those coming to offer gifts came in an endless stream. More than three hundred forces, large and small, had arrived—aristocratic clans, sects, and even officials of the dynasty—all seeking to curry favor with the Xu Clan.
Even several of the Great Yan Dynasty's most powerful aristocratic clans had sent people over.
Of course, this was also at the Xu Clan Qilin Prodigy's instruction. He wanted to summon everyone in the Great Yan Dynasty here.
At this moment, within the Xu Clan's main hall.
A graceful young man sat in the Xu Clan Head's seat, while a middle-aged man stood beside him with an incomparably respectful expression. He was none other than the current Xu Clan Head.
The main hall was already packed with guests. Every single one wore an utterly deferential expression, as though the one seated in the Xu Clan's seat of honor were their master!
The Xu Clan's Qilin Prodigy was named Xu Junting.
His expression was calm. Sitting there, he looked as though everything lay within his grasp!
Xu Junting then swept his gaze around, only to discover that no one from the Lin Clan had arrived. His eyes could not help turning cold.
"How strange. Why hasn't the Lin Clan come yet?" Xu Junting's tone began to turn icy. "Making me wait this long—the Lin Clan truly has some nerve."
"Everyone, don't you agree?"
Then, his gaze fell upon the aristocratic clan heads seated in the hall.
Hearing Xu Junting's question, everyone shuddered.
They immediately began denouncing the Lin Clan.
"That's right! The Lin Clan simply deserves to die!"
"Qilin Prodigy, you are a core disciple of the Tyrant Blade Sect. In the future, you can become a lofty and boundless figure like the Tyrant Blade Sect Master. Yet the Lin Clan still has not come—they are simply courting death! I say their entire clan should be exterminated!"
"The Lin Clan is vile by nature. Daring to disrespect the Tyrant Blade Sect, they indeed deserve to have their entire clan exterminated!"
Quite a few aristocratic clan heads declared their stance one after another.
Each of them appeared to hate the Lin Clan to the bone, as though they bore some unforgettable blood feud against it.
Xu Junting smiled without smiling. "Well said."
He felt immensely satisfied. Once upon a time, he had merely been a nobody, able only to look up to these aristocratic clan heads and live by their favor. But now, he had become a core disciple of the Tyrant Blade Sect, and his strength was tens of thousands of times greater than before.
Those figures who had once been beyond his reach were now here like lapdogs. Whatever he said, they had to echo it!
This was what powerful strength brought!
At that moment, a thunderous voice suddenly rang out from outside.
"The Great Yan Imperial House has arrived!!!"
