The Yin Mystic Sect, Elder Lu

"Hiss..."

"How ruthless..."

Among the onlookers, many were utterly horrified, drawing in sharp breaths without end.

Some of the more timid ones had already slipped away when no one was looking.

Watching the spectacle was all well and good, but their lives mattered more!

That was a legendary Golden Core expert!

Yet before this mysterious youth, he had not the slightest power to resist!

"Just where did he come from..."

At this moment, Lin Tian and Su Zhiyuan, who stood closest to Lin Yu and Li Yuan, were also watching with their jaws hanging open!

"Don't you like negotiating terms? What's wrong? Go on."

Lin Yu watched Li Yuan with interest.

By now, however, the latter was in too much agony to speak at all.

Li Yuan's face was contorted as he gasped for breath.

Clear venom showed in his eyes.

Li Yuan had never imagined that the person before him would act so ruthlessly!

He chatted and laughed while employing such vicious methods, without the slightest hesitation!

"You... you can't kill me!"

"If you kill me, you'll ruin the Yin Mystic Sect's grand plan!"

"The Yin Mystic Sect will hunt you until there's no road to heaven and no door into the earth! Ah!!!"

Li Yuan painfully forced out a few words between cries of agony.

With things having come to this, Li Yuan no longer entertained any thought of winning Lin Yu over.

He finally understood that the youth before him truly wanted him dead!

And wanted him to die in extreme agony!

"Oh? The Yin Mystic Sect?"

Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Li Yuan was instantly delighted.

Just as he thought.

This brat really did fear retaliation from the Yin Mystic Sect!

But upon hearing those words, Lin Tian's and Su Zhiyuan's expressions instantly turned extremely ugly!

Li Yuan had actually secured the Yin Mystic Sect as his backer!

It was different from Lineages in small cities like theirs.

The Yin Mystic Sect was a genuine cultivation sect!

Legend had it that the sect master of the Yin Mystic Sect had a cultivation of at least the eighth tier of the Golden Core Stage!

Moreover, many experts who rarely appeared in the world lay hidden within the sect!

There were even rumors that old monsters above Nascent Soul presided over the Yin Mystic Sect!

"The Yin Mystic Sect? How did Li Yuan get involved with the Yin Mystic Sect?"

"Who knows? That's a colossus completely beyond our imagining!"

"Now the Lin Household and Su Household are in serious trouble!"

"If what Li Yuan said is true, this man definitely won't dare touch him!"

"That's right. The Lin Household can't afford retaliation from the Yin Mystic Sect!"

Hearing Li Yuan's words, the watching cultivators were all utterly shocked!

The Yin Mystic Sect!

The Li Household actually had ties to that legendary Yin Mystic Sect!

"Hmph. He's right. You'd best not touch him."

At that moment, another figure suddenly emerged from the crowd of onlookers and spoke coldly to Lin Yu.

The man had an aged face and stared at Lin Yu with a gloomy expression.

A trace of eerie gray light shone in his eyes.

Seeing him appear, Li Yuan was overjoyed.

Elder Lu of the Yin Mystic Sect!

He was finally willing to intervene!

"Young man, perhaps you are very strong."

The gloomy old man spoke one word at a time.

"But you must understand that between heaven and earth, there are always some existences you cannot afford to provoke!"

"This world is vast."

"Experts beyond Golden Core do exist!"

Elder Lu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared straight at Lin Yu with a hostile expression.

He judged that Lin Yu's cultivation must be above the Golden Core sixth tier!

Only with such cultivation could Lin Yu leave Li Yuan, who had already reached Golden Core, utterly powerless to resist in his hands!

But did being at the Golden Core sixth tier mean he could do whatever he pleased?

That would be looking down on their Yin Mystic Sect far too much!

A cold smile curled at the corner of Elder Lu's mouth.

Of those their Yin Mystic Sect wanted to protect.

There had never been a single one they could not protect!

"It looks like the Lin Household is completely finished this time!"

"That young man should be about to yield. Even if his cultivation is at the Golden Core high tier, he has no choice but to be wary of the Yin Mystic Sect!"

"That's a naked threat. The Lin Household has only its own lack of strength to blame!"

"This elder should be very strong too, at least a supreme expert at the Golden Core fifth or sixth tier!"

"It looks like even that mysterious young man can't save the Lin Household!"

"I'm afraid the Lin Household's allotted fortune has run out."

People from every faction discussed it among themselves, exclaiming in amazement!

They had never expected today's spectacle to actually draw out an expert from the Yin Mystic Sect!

"Experts beyond the Golden Core Stage?"

"That really is terribly powerful."

Upon hearing this, however, a playful smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yu's mouth.

"Hehe, good that you know. If you know what's good for you..."

Elder Lu was only halfway through speaking when he abruptly stopped!

To his horror, he discovered that a force seemed to have seized him directly by the throat!

Intense terror filled Elder Lu's eyes, and towering waves surged through his heart!

He was a genuine supreme expert at the Golden Core fifth tier!

Even in the Yin Mystic Sect, his standing was high, and he ranked in the middle among the elders!

He had originally thought his estimation of Lin Yu was already very high.

Only now did he realize how outrageously wrong he had been!

"Nas... Nascent Soul..."

Elder Lu struggled to force a few words from his mouth.

All color had drained from his face, leaving it ashen!

Upon hearing Elder Lu's words, everyone present was shaken to their very souls!

A Nascent Soul expert?

Was this a joke?!

For the vast majority of those present, today was their first time seeing a Golden Core expert.

As for Nascent Soul, that was a legend among legends!

This handsome youth before them was actually a Nascent Soul expert?

They could not believe it no matter what!

"S-Senior... spare me. My Yin Mystic Sect guarantees it won't inter... ah!!!!!"

Before Elder Lu could finish his sentence, he suddenly screamed miserably, his features twisting in an instant!

It was no different from Li Yuan's wretched state earlier.

This Elder Lu of the Yin Mystic Sect had also had all four limbs severed in an instant!

"Just who is he..."

Countless stunned gazes converged on that young figure in the air.

Those were two supreme experts at the Golden Core Stage!

Before that mysterious youth.

They were actually as feeble as sheep, at his mercy to slaughter!

At that moment, in these people's eyes, Lin Yu was like a god.

"Everyone, listen carefully."

Just then, Lin Yu's majestic voice thundered through the air.

"If anyone targets the Lin Household or Su Household again."

"Their fate will be no different from these two!"

The next second.

Lin Yu extended his right hand and gently clenched it.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Unable to move, Li Yuan and Elder Lu were actually reduced to fine dust in an instant, before everyone's eyes!

"Hiss..."

All around, sharp intakes of breath rose one after another.

Everyone was too shocked to speak!

This mysterious youth's methods and strength were actually this terrifying!

Meanwhile.

Inside a great hall on a mountain wreathed in black mist.

A jade tablet engraved with the name "Lu Tao" shattered with a crash.

At the center of the hall, a young man who looked no older than thirty slowly opened his eyes.

A glint of eerie, sinister gray light flashed through his eyes and vanished.
