Binding a second villain: when a divine-grade appears, not even Heaven can stand in its way?
Yue City, Lin Mansion!
Lin Boyun, who was nearing middle age, scrutinized Ling Yi with a critical eye.
Standing beside Lin Boyun were three young men and an old man.
All eyes were on Ling Yi, except for one young man with a sinister appearance who stared intently at Fu Xiyao.
Fu Xiyao felt uncomfortable under this person's gaze and involuntarily hid behind Ling Yi.
Ling Yi stared coldly at the man, who, upon noticing Ling Yi's gaze, not only did not restrain himself but instead revealed a murderous intent towards Ling Yi.
That's perfect!
Lin Boyun also noticed his second son Lin Lan's misbehavior and was about to reprimand him when his pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted angrily, "Stop!"
Suddenly, another Ling Yi figure appeared behind Lin Lan Ying Yi grabbed Lin Lan by the neck.
The next moment, a terrifying Ice Aura surged forth, and an ice shell instantly appeared around Lin Lan Lin Lan inside.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. By the time everyone reacted, Lin Lan had already been sealed inside the ice shell.
Lin Boyun stared intently at Ling Yi's Clone and said coldly, "Young friend, haven't you gone too far?"
Ling Yi's true form sneered and replied, "Is that too much? I never expected Lin Cheng's son to be such a despicable person."
Lin Boyun knew what kind of person his second son was. If his youngest son, Lin Tian, was a spoiled brat, then Lin Lan was a Madman.
But no matter what, this is his own son, and it's not up to outsiders to bully him in front of him.
Lin Boyun looked at Ling Yi's real body and then at Ling Yi's Clone, and for a moment he couldn't tell which was real and which was fake.
This tactic made Lin Boyun very wary.
At this moment, Lin Lan felt an icy chill sweep over her entire body. Not only was her body sealed by the ice shell, rendering her unable to move, but even her Spiritual Power was sealed and completely unable to circulate.
Moreover, the temperature inside the ice shell is getting lower and lower.
He could clearly Perception that if he stayed in this icy shell for even a moment longer, he would die.
"Father, kill him!" Lin Lan roared, staring intently at Ling Yi.
At this moment, this guy wasn't thinking about getting Lin Boyun to save him; instead, he wanted Lin Boyun to kill Ling Yi first.
Ling Yi already harbored murderous intent; this person must...
But just then, a system notification sounded in Ling Yi's mind.
"Ding! Target Lin Yue, a villainous character, has been detected. Bind?"
Ling Yi was taken aback for a moment. After confirming that it was Lin Yue and not Lin Lan, Ling Yi chose to bind.
If it were Lin Lan, Ling Yi would rather give up this opportunity to become bonded.
Target bound to: Lin Yue!
Villain rating: Five stars!
Cultivation level: Golden Core Stage First Layer!
Inner Power Technique: Flame Spirit Art - Proficiency ( Second Pin )
Kung Fu:
1. Fire Cloud Sword Art - Proficiency ( Third Pin )
2. Fire Control Technique - Proficiency ( Third Pin )
3. Breath Concealment Technique - Proficiency ( Second Pin )
Spiritual Root: Third Pin Fire Spiritual Root, First Pin Dark Spiritual Root!
Good heavens, they really know how to hide it. Golden Core Stage First Layer, but they're only showing up as at the Foundation Establishment Stage First Level.
This is a classic case of playing dumb to outsmart someone.
Lin Boyun's expression was grim, but he did not retaliate against Ling Yi.
On one hand, Ling Yi came to save his youngest son, Lin Tian. Regardless of whether he could save him or not, it was an opportunity for Lin Tian.
On the other hand, he couldn't figure out Ling Yi's background.
Ling Yi's methods were somewhat unbelievable; even he couldn't see Ling Yi's movements, considering that he was at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage stage.
Lin Boyun came to Lin Lan's side, and a ball of Huoyan rose in his right hand, which he pressed onto the ice shell.
However, as the Huoyan approached the ice shell, they gradually shrank and disappeared before even touching it.
Ling Yi's God Grade Ice-Element Spiritual Root has reached a level close to the Dao.
Even though Lin Boyun was powerful, his Huoyan were ultimately just Spiritual Qi Huoyan, and had no effect on the ice shell whatsoever.
This greatly surprised Lin Boyun.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Lin Boyun gave up and looked at Ling Yi instead.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said, "Young friend, you certainly have impressive skills."
"Heh, if I didn't have some tricks up my sleeve, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to leave your Lin residence today."
Just then, the old man next to Lin Boyun suddenly moved, rushing towards Ling Yi with lightning speed.
Unexpectedly, this old man also possessed the strength of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, and it seemed that he cultivated a lightning-attribute technique.
However, the closer the old man got to Ling Yi, the slower he became, until he was almost completely still when he was half a meter away from Ling Yi.
No, not just his body, but the Lightning power surrounding him also seemed to have stopped.
Ling Yi ignored the old man and, with Fu Xiyao in tow, turned and walked out, saying as he went, "What an overbearing Lin Clan! An ancient cultivation family? Bah!"
Lin Boyun's face was gloomy, but he still did not make a move, or rather, he did not dare to make a move.
Because he still couldn't figure out how Ling Yi's Clone had disappeared.
"Father, Father, I... I'm dying, save me!"
Lin Lan, now trapped inside the ice shell, was pale and her body was beginning to stiffen.
Lin Bo looked at Lin Lan with undisguised disgust. If this wasn't his son, he would have slapped him to death long ago.
This was the first time Lin Lan had ever seen her father look at her like that, and she realized she had gotten herself into a huge mess.
But such brainless people never reflect on their own mistakes; they only push all the blame onto Ling Yi.
Lin Boyun clenched his right hand in the Void, and a fiery red longsword appeared out of thin air, striking the ice shell with a single blow.
"Bang!"
A crack appeared in the ice shell.
Lin Boyun's face showed even greater astonishment. This was First Pin magic weapon, yet it couldn't break through the ice shell with a single sword strike; it was simply unbelievable.
"Bang bang bang, crack!"
Lin Boyun slashed three times before the ice shell finally shattered. Lin Lan's body stiffened, and she collapsed to the ground, her eyes rolling back as she fainted.
At this moment, the old man over there finally recovered.
"What terrifying power, what bizarre ability," Old Tu said with great apprehension.
"Is Retainer Zhao injured?" Lin Boyun asked.
"I'm not injured, but..." Retainer Zhao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I was reckless. If this person wanted to kill me, it would only take a moment."
"Can you tell what level of cultivation the other party has and what kind of technique they are using?"
Retainer Zhao shook his head!
At this moment, Lin Yue, who had been silent until now— Ling Yi's second supporting villain—slowly spoke up, " Divine-Grade Spiritual Root!"
Upon hearing these four words, Lin Boyun and Retainer Zhao instantly understood, followed by expressions of disbelief.
"That's right. He's so young. Even if he cultivated from the womb, his cultivation level wouldn't be very high. Since that method wasn't a cultivation technique, it can only be explained by the innate talent of his Heavenly Spiritual Root."
The Lin Clan is, after all, Gu Clan. Most cultivators in the Heavenly North Continent are unaware that there is a divine-grade Spiritual Root above the First Pin Divine-Grade Spiritual Root root.
"According to the family records, once one reaches the Divine-Grade Spiritual Root, even if one's cultivation level is not high, and even if one has not cultivated any techniques, Spiritual Power will naturally carry the Power of Rules heaven and earth."
"Once Divine Pin is produced, nothing can stop it!"
"Moreover, this person possesses more than one type of Spiritual Power. We must either nip this person in the bud or befriend them; otherwise, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for our Lin Clan."
Lin Boyun asked Lin Yue, "Yue'er, what do you think we should do?"
"If we want to kill this person, we can only ask the Ancestor to take action."
"But Father should know the current situation of our ancestor. Even if we can kill Ling Yi, those with ulterior motives will likely see through our disguise, and there may be great disaster in the future."
Lin Boyun frowned, "Then we have no choice but to befriend them?"
Lin Yue shook his head and said, "Father, although the Lin Clan is Gu Clan, its foundation has been exhausted. If there is no way out, the Lin Clan will completely decline after the ancestor passes away."
We need to choose a new path forward!
The message is quite clear: simply being on good terms isn't enough.
"Father, don't forget, Divine-Grade Spiritual Root have the power to defy fate and change destiny. If our ancestor could obtain their assistance, he could advance even further..."
Lin Boyun was startled; the gloom in his heart dissipated, and his eyes brightened.
Lin Yue knew his father had come to terms with it, but he gave a wry smile and said, "Father, I'm just afraid they won't think much of the Lin Clan."
Then the three of them looked at Lin Lan was lying unconscious on the ground.
Lin Boyun gritted his teeth and said, " Retainer Zhao, send this brat to the ancestral land, cripple his cultivation, and forbid him from ever leaving again."
"Then send someone to investigate this person's background, but be careful not to alert them and offend them again."
"Good!"
Retainer Zhao bent down, picked up Lin Lan, and turned to leave the room.
Lin Boyun said to Lin Yue, "Come with me to see the Ancestor and ask for his opinion."
After the two left, an inconspicuous Shitou in the corner of the room vanished into thin air.
On the other side, Ling Yi, who was shopping with Fu Xiyao, couldn't help but reveal a strange look on his face.
Lin Yue, like Bai Feng, doesn't seem like a villain at all.
On the contrary, Lin Lan perfectly embodies the villain's character.
Ling Yi became even more certain of one thing: the so-called villains were simply the Protagonist's enemies.
However, since Lin Feng is the villain, who is the Protagonist corresponds to him?
"Once Divine Pin is produced, nothing can stop it? Interesting!"
Meanwhile, on the ruins of the Mystic Heaven Sect, an old man dressed in coarse linen clothes stood on Mystic Heaven Peak with Xuan Miao.
" The Final Master, the Cloud Firmament Sect is the real culprit. If they hadn't spread rumors, our Mystic Heaven Sect wouldn't have suffered such a disaster!" Elder Xuanmiao said with a sorrowful voice.
The old man was Elder Xuan Wan, who had disappeared three hundred years ago, and was also Xuan Miao's the Final Master.
It is said that his strength had already reached the Spirit Transformation Realm back then, making him a prodigy even more talented than the founder of the Mystic Heaven Sect.
After that, he went to the Desolate Ancient Demon Forest and disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, he has now reappeared and returned to the Heavenly North Continent.
Xuan Wan shook his head, but he did not agree with Xuan Miao's statement.
"How can the millennia-old heritage of the Mystic Heaven Sect be severed? Now that I have returned, I will surely restore the Mystic Heaven Sect to its former glory."
"Come with me to the Cloud Firmament Sect, and from now on, the entire Heavenly North Continent will revere my Mystic Heaven Sect."
After Xuan Wan finished speaking, he and Xuan Miao disappeared from the spot.
In the central area of Desolate Ancient Demon Forest, a cloud of black mist was slowly spreading outwards.
A wolf that had not yet taken human form howled in agony upon touching the black cesium mist.
Its body was Rapid Speed growing taller and longer, and all its mane was falling out quickly, replaced by patches of jet-black scales.
After a long while, the demon wolf, its eyes bloodshot, stood upright. After looking around, it surprisingly spoke in human language, "What a nostalgic taste! Mystic North Realm, I've finally returned."
