Partial Unification, Gui Xu Yin! Concession? Counterattack!

At those words, Fang Ruyu's ever-present smile finally faded away.

"Shen Yue, I didn't come here to reminisce with you. Today, I'm protecting the Alchemy Lin Family. You... can't touch them!"

Fang Ruyu's gaze was calm as she met Shen Yue's eyes.

As their gazes collided, sparks seemed to flicker through the void.

At the same time, another person appeared beside her—another Saint Realm expert!

After receiving Lin Hu's voice transmission, the Lin Family naturally could not have sent Fang Ruyu alone.

There might even have been more than two Saints here!

"Oh? Then I'd like to see whether I can move them or not!"

Shen Yue's temper flared as well. With old grudges and new hatred piled together, if she did not fight, she feared she would not be able to quell the anger in her heart!

Lu Ming took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Shen Yue.

His gaze was indifferent, and he did not place Fang Ruyu or the other Saint Realm expert in his eyes at all.

Even among Saints, there were differences in strength!

Though he always appeared to be bullied by Shen Yue, the truth was that he was far stronger than her!

"Come to think of it, I haven't fought in several hundred years. Right now... I'm furious!!"

Lu Ming's eyes darkened as an ultimate devouring intent erupted from within him.

The void behind him suddenly shattered, transforming into a colossal Taotie maw that seemed capable of swallowing all matter!

Feeling that familiar aura, Lu Qingyun raised a brow.

"Gui Xu Yin?"

Judging by his proficiency, he had even delved slightly deeper into it than Lu Qingyun currently had.

He could already be considered to have achieved minor mastery of the second layer.

Hearing Lu Qingyun's voice, Lu Ming turned back, his face full of pride.

"That's right, it is indeed Gui Xu Yin!"

"After entering the Saint Path, I found my progress too slow, so I selected this supreme devouring technique from the clan's technique repository. In merely several hundred years, I took it from nothing and broke through to the second layer! I even feel that in my lifetime, I can break through to the third layer and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Taotie Divine Body!"

"The supreme seat in the future may not be without a place for me! Hahaha!!"

Lu Ming laughed wildly, yet the two people opposite him did not show the slightest trace of mockery.

Instead, their faces were grave and filled with vigilance!

Their expressions, as though facing a formidable enemy, left Lu Qingyun utterly baffled.

Wasn't it just the second layer of Gui Xu Yin?

Something I mastered in ten days—is it really that impressive?

Yet the facts were right before him. Lu Ming merely stepped forward and revealed the aura of Gui Xu Yin, and the Lin Family's two Saints no longer dared to act rashly!

"Thirteenth Sequence, perhaps we can continue our discussion. Just as you said at the beginning, we will only kill the current main branch of the Alchemy Lin Family and spare the rest. How about it?"

As an elder of the Lin Family, Lin Hu naturally knew of the peculiar technique known as Gui Xu Yin.

He understood that anyone who cultivated this technique to a profound level was extraordinarily powerful.

Their two Saints... truly might not be able to defeat him.

Thus, if they could compromise, that would be for the best.

After all, all he wanted was the entire Alchemy Lin Family. Even if the main branch was wiped out, the impact would not be too great.

"Oh? It seems our opinions have reached a partial agreement."

"Since that is the case, Elder Lin, please make your move."

Lu Qingyun raised a hand, signaling Lin Hu to act.

Lu Ming wanted to say something from the side, but Lu Qingyun stopped him. He could only remain silent, somewhat unwillingly.

Seeing this, Lin Hu no longer hesitated.

In an instant, he struck and killed Lin Tianhao in the distance!

As the current head of the Alchemy Lin Family, Lin Tianhao was naturally no weakling. Even in the Venerable Lord Realm, he was considered an expert!

Yet before Lin Hu, he could not even withstand a single exchange and was instantly slain!

This was the gap between top-tier forces and ordinary forces—so vast it was unimaginable!

Seeing Lin Hu instantly kill Lin Tianhao before continuing his slaughter within the Lin Family's giant city, Lu Qingyun nodded slightly.

Signaling that Lu Ming and Shen Yue could take him back.

Though the two were extremely unwilling, under these circumstances, they did not go against Lu Qingyun's wishes.

In the end, Shen Yue shot Fang Ruyu an icy glance, the killing intent in her eyes undisguised.

At this moment, Fang Ruyu said nothing more, unwilling to stir up unnecessary trouble.

Before, he might still have dared to give it a try, but now he no longer had the nerve.

After successfully returning to the Lu Family, Lu Ming and Shen Yue were feeling dejected and were about to leave.

But Lu Qingyun called out to stop them.

"You two, could you return to the Alchemy Lin Family and help me check whether the Lin Family's Fifteenth Elder has completed the partial unification I discussed with him? If he has, then I'll have to trouble you both to fulfill another part of my wish."

At those words, Lu Ming and Shen Yue's eyes lit up.

Their earlier gloom was swept away, and they eagerly turned back to launch a surprise return attack!

That other part of his wish—wasn't it to wipe out the entire Alchemy Lin Family?

Besides, Fang Ruyu and the others were most likely still there. This time... debts of blood would be repaid in blood, grievances answered with grievances!

Watching the two of them impatiently tear open space and leave, Lu Qingyun also let out a sigh of relief.

Those two really were reckless. Had they not considered how a Thirteenth Sequence like him was supposed to fight over there?

This was a battle between Saints!

Even if the Lin Family's Fifteenth Elder joined in, the final outcome would never be anything good.

Not to mention a little Blood Moving Secret Treasury nobody like him.

Perhaps Lu Ming and Shen Yue were confident they could protect him, but he had never been in the habit of placing his life in someone else's hands!

"Looks like I should watch less excitement in the future. I nearly put myself in danger. I should be punished!"

"I'll punish myself by challenging one Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng per bite!"
