Lin Fan made his move! Hunting down Qin Wuyou! The fallen Holy Son stunned a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert!

Demon God Valley.

The Underground Cavern.

The moment he entered the Underground Cavern and saw the cultivators fleeing in all directions, Lin Chaozong avoided those lowly cultivators with disgust.

Born into a Heaven-Rank Family, he looked down on the cultivators of these backwater places from the depths of his bones.

"Ah, we really owe Qin Wuyou this time! If not for him, we would've all died in this Underground Cavern!"

"You can say that again! Those bastards from the Seven Kills Hall were absolute animals. They actually wanted to kill us all. Fuck, if I had anyone backing me, I'd have razed the Seven Kills Hall to the ground!"

"What good would backing do? The disciples of the Xuantian Holy Land have backing, don't they? But their sect's experts wouldn't wipe out the Seven Kills Hall just because a few ordinary disciples died."

"Didn't you see? Even Fang Han, the Xuantian Holy Land's foremost True Disciple, nearly died at the Seven Kills Hall's hands! If Qin Wuyou hadn't stepped in, those Xuantian Holy Land disciples probably wouldn't have survived either."

Lin Chaozong had intended to head straight into the Underground Cavern, but he stopped when he heard the cultivators' conversation.

"Qin Wuyou? Could they mean the Qin Wuyou the Young Lord ordered me to capture?"

Confusion filled Lin Chaozong's face.

According to the information he had received, Qin Wuyou was nothing but trash.

Yet the Qin Wuyou these cultivators described was a great hero who had saved them all.

Whether he was a hero or a zero was none of Lin Chaozong's concern.

But their conversation had given him a crucial piece of information.

"Qin Wuyou dealt with an opponent even the Xuantian Holy Land's foremost True Disciple couldn't handle. Could he be stronger than their foremost True Disciple?"

For a moment, Lin Chaozong could not help questioning the accuracy of the information he had received.

"I'd better find someone and get this straight."

Before long, Lin Chaozong seized a cultivator who had fallen behind.

"Answer every question I ask honestly. Get even half a word wrong, and you should know what will happen to you."

Looking at the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator trembling in terror, Lin Chaozong asked his first question. "Is the Qin Wuyou you were talking about the Xuantian Holy Land's fallen Holy Son?"

"Y-yes."

The Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator answered in a shaking voice.

Lin Chaozong's powerful Myriad Phenomena Realm aura had almost scared him into wetting himself.

Faced with such a powerful cultivator, he did not dare utter even half a lie.

"Tell me everything you were discussing, from beginning to end. Leave anything unclear, and I won't mind sending you on your final journey!"

Lin Chaozong barked, his expression dark.

Under his intimidation, the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator poured out every conflict that had unfolded in the Underground Cavern over the past few days, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

When he heard that Qin Wuyou had challenged the Seven Kills Hall alone, a trace of surprise appeared in Lin Chaozong's eyes.

"This Qin Wuyou doesn't seem to be the trash the Young Lord described."

How could a piece of trash dare challenge the Seven Kills Hall?

Granted, he did not know much about the Seven Kills Hall himself.

As he continued listening, Lin Chaozong's expression shifted from indifference to shock, then outright disbelief!

When the cultivator described how Qin Wuyou, who had only just entered the Purple Mansion Realm, had crushed a primordial spirit with one hand, even Lin Chaozong was stunned.

"He could crush a Seventh Heaven Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator despite only just entering the Purple Mansion Realm?"

"Hiss! If that's true, Qin Wuyou's strength really can't be underestimated!"

Once he had learned everything he wanted to know, sword light flashed in Lin Chaozong's hand, splitting the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator in two.

Wiping the blood from his sword, Lin Chaozong sneered coldly. "Don't blame me. Blame Qin Wuyou! If you hadn't gotten involved with him, this disaster would never have fallen out of the blue onto your head!"

He was the one slaughtering an innocent, yet he shoved all the blame onto Qin Wuyou.

That alone showed the depths of his shamelessness.

After killing the witness to silence him, Lin Chaozong began piecing together the information he had obtained.

"Qin Wuyou, Holy Son of the Xuantian Holy Land. His title has yet to be revoked."

"Unless his title is revoked, my Young Lord cannot become the Holy Son."

"So this fellow is blocking my Young Lord's path. He must be eliminated first."

His eyes shifted as he muttered under his breath,

"His current cultivation is just inside the Purple Mansion Realm. He should be at the First Heaven, or the Second Heaven at the absolute most."

"But he possesses a powerful treasure suspected to be a demonic artifact, and he's mastered a mighty divine ability. His actual combat strength far exceeds the Purple Mansion Realm and should match a peak Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator."

That was all the information Lin Chaozong had obtained so far.

Although it differed greatly from what Lin Fan had told him, it was still of little consequence.

Never mind Qin Wuyou merely matching a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator—even if his combat strength rivaled the Myriad Phenomena Realm, Lin Chaozong had nothing to fear.

After all, he was at the Tenth Heaven of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, with actual strength comparable to an early-stage Void Training Realm expert.

"A mere Purple Mansion Realm cultivator."

Lin Chaozong licked his lips, revealing a cruel sneer.

"Qin Wuyou, you won't escape the palm of my hand!"

After entering the Underground Cavern, Lin Chaozong did not linger on the first few floors, instead heading straight for the Fifth Floor.

"With Qin Wuyou having only just entered the Purple Mansion Realm, he'll definitely be on the Fifth Floor of the Underground Cavern if he wants to improve his cultivation."

As someone who had walked this path before, Lin Chaozong knew these Underground Cavern demons well.

Underground Caverns were alike across the entire continent.

Their demons were distributed floor by floor according to strength.

The only difference was that Underground Caverns of different grades had different numbers of floors.

The more floors an Underground Cavern had, the stronger the demons within it.

As for the first few floors, nearly every Underground Cavern was the same, with little difference.

Thus, Lin Chaozong could quickly determine Qin Wuyou's current location.

The moment he entered the Fifth Floor of the Underground Cavern, he released his powerful primordial spirit's Divine Sense, blanketing a thousand-li radius.

Within that range, no demon, living creature, or cultivator could escape his primordial spirit's scrutiny.

Primordial spirit power!

Qin Wuyou, who was refining demons on this floor, immediately sensed that powerful wave of primordial spirit power and swiftly concealed his aura.

The moment he activated the Heaven-Seizing Creation Art, his aura seemed to vanish completely.

The primordial spirit power was still hundreds of li away, but even if it were right before him, it could not detect his presence unless he stopped concealing his aura.

While evading that wave of primordial spirit power, Qin Wuyou's eyes shifted rapidly.

This fellow's primordial spirit power is so strong. He's definitely beyond the Primordial Spirit Realm—at least a peak Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator.

The Demon God Valley Underground Cavern isn't particularly powerful. Even Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators rarely come here, let alone Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivators.

A Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator appearing here and releasing his primordial spirit power immediately means he's clearly searching for something—or someone.

There was nothing on the Fifth Floor of this Underground Cavern that a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert would need, so the most likely explanation was that he was searching for someone!

Qin Wuyou suddenly shivered, and his gaze turned icy.

This Myriad Phenomena Realm expert who had suddenly appeared was almost certainly here for him!

He just did not know whether this Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator belonged to the Seven Kills Hall or the Lin Lineage.

Probably not the Lin Lineage!

The Lin Lineage is only a first-rate lineage, after all. Their strongest Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator is a lineage Attendant they hired at great expense.

That lineage Attendant generally doesn't make a move lightly. Besides, he's only at the Sixth Heaven of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, far below this man.

In an instant, Qin Wuyou deduced that this man probably did not belong to the Lin Lineage.

But he undoubtedly had ties to them!

After all, even if he belonged to the Seven Kills Hall, the Lin Lineage would have paid to hire him.

Ultimately, then, the appearance of this peak Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator could not be separated from the Lin Lineage.

With my current strength, I shouldn't fight an expert of this caliber.

Forget it. I'll avoid his sharp edge for now!

Once I break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, I'll deal with him!

Qin Wuyou was no fool.

Although his combat strength towered to the heavens and his magical power was hundreds of times that of ordinary cultivators, he still could not handle a peak Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator.

To be safe, Qin Wuyou chose to leave for the time being.

Once his strength recovered to the Primordial Spirit Realm, he would face this Myriad Phenomena Realm expert.

Just as the Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator's primordial spirit power swept away into the distance, Qin Wuyou, his aura concealed, silently entered the sixth floor of the Underground Cavern.

The moment he advanced to the Primordial Spirit Realm would be the moment he slew this man!
