The arrival of the white-clad figure in mid-air instantly boosted the morale of everyone present.
Qu Youmeng was so excited that she almost cried.
The others also cheered with surprise.
"Sect Master!"
" Senior Lin!"
" Senior Lin is back! That's wonderful!"
Several days had passed since Lin Xuan chased after the Your Highness Ten. Even though they knew the Your Highness Ten was most likely dead, they were still worried when they saw Lin Xuan's name still hanging high on the Heaven Ranking.
Seeing Lin Xuan return safely, I felt relieved and relaxed. I was no longer anxious or fearful that the sect's protective formation would be breached.
However, the Alien Race Thearch Realm expert looked at the suddenly appearing white-clad figure with a look of astonishment.
The Human Race possesses jade talismans from the Great Emperor Treasury, which clearly show the changes in Lin Xuan's ranking, allowing them to deduce that he killed the Your Highness Ten. However, the Alien Race do not have such talismans.
Therefore, this Alien Race Thearch Realm was filled with disbelief when he saw Lin Xuan return.
Previously, when the Your Highness Ten, he was also on that battlefield, and when the Your Highness Ten Your Highness Ten left, he clearly received a message from him.
He understood perfectly that the Your Highness Ten intended to lure this Human Race to the battlefield in the Luminous Domain, and with the help of two Alien Race Thearch Realm experts there, use Secret Technique to kill the pursuing Human Race sword cultivator!
but...
Why did this Human Race swordsman return at this time?
This Alien Race Thearch Realm knew perfectly well just how powerful the Secret Technique of his God Clan race were.
That's why he was even more astonished.
He had assumed that this Human Race swordsman would never return once he left...
Unexpectedly, I saw him again on the battlefield of the Profound Domain!
What exactly happened?
How could he possibly come back alive?
Now that he's back alive, what about the Your Highness Ten...?
The Alien Race Thearch Realm's gaze suddenly became extremely solemn. He glanced deeply in Lin Xuan's direction, and without hesitation, turned to flee.
The situation is dangerous; he cannot stay here any longer. He must leave immediately and find out what exactly is going on with the Your Highness Ten!
But now that Lin Xuan has returned, how could he possibly give him a chance to escape?
The Alien Race Thearch Realm, his eyes grave, tried to flee without a word.
Lin Xuan snorted coldly, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly drew his sword, slashing at One Sword figure fleeing in a disheveled state!
The sword light streaked across the air in a dazzling arc, its brilliance magnified in the eyes of the crowd, and even more so in the eyes of the Thearch Realm who turned around in shock, before crashing down!
In mid-air, a figure whose eyes had lost their light, leaving only a dim silhouette, rapidly descended, its life force and Spiritual Power pouring out wildly.
boom!
The moment its body hit the ground, it directly unleashed a storm of Spiritual Power. Centered on its corpse, a massive amount of Spiritual Power emanated outwards, startling both the Alien Race and the Human Race present into wide-eyed disbelief.
With just One Sword strike, this powerful Thearch Realm expert from the Alien Race perished instantly!
"So... so strong!"
"What cultivation level is Senior Lin at now? That's terrifying!"
"Nonsense! Anyone capable of killing Thearch Realm expert must also be Thearch Realm! My Jade Balance Sword Palace also has an Thearch Realm expert behind it!"
"Too powerful! The Pavilion Master is truly too powerful!"
The disciples of the Sword Pavilion stared in awe at the white-clad figure, their eyes filled with indescribable admiration.
Chen Xiao took in everything and whispered to Wang Yan beside him.
"Senior brother, I suddenly think... white robes are so cool! What do you think, should I wear white robes like Master's in the future?"
Wang Yan gave him a speechless look and casually said, "If you're not afraid that Senior Sister will beat you to death, then go ahead and wear it."
Chen Xiao glanced at Su Lianxin ahead, shuddered, and quickly dismissed the idea.
certainly!
His master's prowess and heroic bearing were still firmly etched in his heart!
When Heavenly Venerable Yunli saw this scene, his pupils also contracted, but he quickly understood.
She knew this day would come when Lin Xuan defeated Wu Liang with One Sword strike.
He's a monster who survived Thirty lightning tribulations!
Now, this day has simply come too quickly.
She had expected this.
After slaying the Alien Race Thearch Realm with One Sword strike, Lin Xuan looked at the swarming Alien Race at the Jade Balance Sword Palace and frowned slightly.
He swung his One Sword again, wiping out the nearby Alien Race, before landing and looking around to ask a question.
What about Wu Liang?
Logically speaking, Wu Liang should be guarding this place at this time, but when he returned, he saw Heavenly Venerable Yunli blocking the Jade Balance Sword Palace's protective formation.
Where are the others?
Heavenly Venerable Yunli landed immediately afterward, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and then showed Lin Xuan the wisp of information-carrying aura that she had intercepted.
She gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"The Vice Pavilion Master couldn't return. Fortunately, the Pavilion Master returned in time; otherwise, I would have had to trouble the Pavilion Master to help me condense my physical body again."
Lin Xuan scanned the area with his Divine Sense, reading the information left behind by Wu Liang, and frowned.
How come the Chongming Bird Clan hasn't been wiped out yet?
That's not important.
Importantly, they actually forcibly took away their own deputy pavilion master.
Wu Liang didn't say much in the message, but Lin Xuan knew that, given Wu Liang's personality, only by forcibly taking him away would he abandon the affairs of the Sword Pavilion.
At the end of the message, Wu Liang repeatedly urged Lin Xuan to make a trip to Luo Heaven Domain in the Eastern Continent to find him.
' Eastern Continent...'
'It's Eastern Continent again...'
After reading the information left by Wu Liang, a look of emotion and reminiscence flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, and he slowly shook his head.
It seems he has no choice but to return to this old place.
Lin Xuan was filled with mixed emotions, but he did not immediately process the information left behind by Wu Liang.
Putting aside all those chaotic thoughts for the moment, Lin Xuan looked at the Jade Balance Sword Palace disciples who were gradually coming out and starting to clean up the battlefield, and asked Heavenly Venerable Yunli about the changes in the Profound Domain during his absence.
"What's the situation with the Ancient Alliance and the Profound Alliance?"
"Not good."
Heavenly Venerable Yunli shook his head.
"Fortunately, the flame was preserved."
"They left the Profound Domain through the High Antiquity teleportation array of the Nine Profundities Heavenly Sect, but unfortunately, the teleportation array was in terrible condition. Even if materials were found to repair it, it could only be used once, and it is now destroyed."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded slightly.
"As long as it's safe."
Immediately, Lin Xuan turned his head and glanced at the disciples of the Jade Balance Sword Palace, the elders of the Jade Balance Sword Palace surrounding him, the disheveled Youying, and his own disciples.
He pondered for a moment, then took out a map and handed it to Heavenly Venerable Yunli.
"Since there's hardly anyone left from the Profound Alliance and Ancient Alliance, you should all prepare to set off."
"I have marked the location for you. Head to the place I marked. There, there is an High Antiquity teleportation array that can be used and leads to the Eastern Continent."
Lin Xuan spoke casually, but everyone who heard him was stunned for a moment.
" High Antiquity teleportation array, Eastern Continent!?"
Heavenly Venerable Yunli took the map, glanced at it, and immediately discovered that the location marked by Lin Xuan was indeed within the territory of the Tangqing Empire.
There's actually a teleportation array there that leads directly to the Eastern Continent?
A storm raged in Heavenly Venerable Yunli's heart.
"Okay, go ahead."
Lin Xuan nodded slightly, his tone calm.
He didn't mention this High Antiquity teleportation array much, nor did he want to say more.
Because it concerns his background.
He was not a person of the Tangqing Empire, nor even a person of the Profound Domain.
He comes from the Eastern Continent!
Recalling his past, Lin Xuan's eyes became somewhat clouded.
He comes from the Saint Domain Lin Clan of the Eastern Continent.
In the Eastern Continent, there is a Mysterious Profound Heaven Holy Land, one of the supreme Saint Realm forces in the Saint Domain.
The master of this holy land is a Saint Realm expert who controls the entire holy land.
Within the Profound Heaven Holy Land, the top forces are composed of the nine great Holy Clan. Although these nine Holy Clan do not have any Saint Realm, they are like the imperial clans of the Profound Domain. The reason they can be called Holy Clan is that their ancestors, to varying degrees, all produced Saint Realm experts.
The Lin Clan Lineage is one of the nine great Holy Clan.
Although the Lin Saint Clan is not the most powerful holy land in the Profound Heaven Holy Land, it is the oldest Holy Clan in the Profound Heaven Holy Land.
There is none other than that.
There were two people who founded the Profound Heaven Holy Land back then.
Firstly, he is the patriarch of the Profound Heaven Holy Land, the Great Saint Xuantian.
Secondly, there is the Lin Clan's ancestor, the Great Saint Jinghai.
It can be said that the Lin Saint Clan was one of the founders of the Profound Heaven Holy Land.
Although the Lin Saint Clan has gradually declined over the past ten thousand years and can no longer rank among the top three in the Profound Heaven Holy Land, in the Saint Domain, countless cultivators will involuntarily think of the Lin Saint Clan, a clan that was once incomparably glorious, whenever the Profound Heaven Holy Land is mentioned.
In fact, it could be said that without the Lin Saint Clan, the Profound Heaven Holy Land would have been destroyed long ago.
Especially the battle in the Eastern Continent ten thousand years ago.
The Profound Heaven Holy Land served as a battlefield. Lin Lan, the ancestor of the Lin Clan and one of the two saints there, was also the Saint Lan at the time. He spared no effort, burning his holy blood to kill a saint who had invaded the Profound Heaven Holy Land with his sword, and then perished.
If he hadn't sacrificed himself, the Profound Heaven Holy Land would probably have become a victim of history long ago.
But it was that very battle that led to the fall of the Lin Clan's saint.
Many of the Lin Clan's high-level Saint Realm also perished.
While the Profound Heaven Holy Land suffered a severe blow, the Lin Saint Clan also suffered an unprecedented setback.
This is also the fundamental reason for the fall of the Lin Saint Clan in the following ten thousand years.
but...
If things had continued like this, Lin Xuan wouldn't be in the state he is now.
More than 20 years ago, the Profound Heaven Holy Land suddenly launched an attack on the Lin Saint Clan, using "betrayal" as a pretext to firmly pin this heavy label on the Lin Saint Clan, and then expelled the Lin Saint Clan from the Profound Heaven Holy Land!
This event, back then, shocked the entire Profound Heaven Holy Land, and even the Saint Domain!
Did the Lin Saint Clan betray the Profound Heaven Holy Land, which they had single-handedly protected and established?
What an absurd and laughable argument.
It should be noted that the Profound Heaven Holy Land was founded by the Lin Saint Clan. In order to protect the Xuantian Saint Realm Profound Heaven Holy Land, all the members of the Lin Clan perished.
Did the Lin Clan betray the Profound Heaven Holy Land?
Outrageous!
This is absolutely outrageous!
But this high-sounding excuse was firmly pinned on the Lin Clan family, and they couldn't shake it off.
As a result, the Lin Saint Clan left the Profound Heaven Holy Land.
The real reasons and secrets behind this are rarely known to outsiders, and no one dares to inquire.
After all, how could the affairs of the Profound Heaven Holy Land be allowed to be discussed by outsiders?
However, what others might not know, Lin Xuan, as a direct descendant of the Lin Saint Clan, knew all too well.
The Lin Saint Clan, has never betrayed us!
And betrayal is impossible!
Within the Profound Heaven Holy Land, there exists a Holy Clan called the Yuan Clan.
Like the Lin Yuan Clan Saint Clan Lin Saint Clan one of the nine great Holy Clan of the Profound Heaven Holy Land. Compared to the Lin Saint Clan and other Holy Clan, the Yuan Clan Saint Clan is much younger.
It has only been a few thousand years since it joined the Profound Heaven Holy Land.
Although the period was short, the Yuan Clan Saint Clan rose to power at an extremely rapid pace.
However, due to ancestral conflicts, his relationship with the Lin Saint Clan was not good, and there were constant conflicts and frictions.
These conflicts and grievances accumulated day by day.
Until more than twenty years ago, the two Holy Clan had an irreconcilable feud.
The Grand Elder of the Yuan Clan Saint Clan perished in the secret realm, and the surviving Yuan Clan Saint Clan cultivators insisted that their Grand Elder was killed by members of the Lin Saint Clan.
The Lin Saint Clan, of course, would not accept this.
Why should you admit to something you didn't do?
If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext!
Although the two races have a bad relationship and many conflicts, they all come from the Xuan Profound Heaven Holy Land Profound Heaven Holy Land and work together to protect it and maintain balance.
The Lin Saint Clan must be insane to assassinate the Grand Elders of other Holy Clan!
In particular, in recent years, the situation has become tense, and the relationship between the Profound Heaven Holy Land Peaceful Heaven Holy Land is extremely strained, with a high possibility of war breaking out.
Although the Lin Saint Clan has declined, there are no fools among them, so of course they would not do something so stupid.
However, the Yuan Clan Saint Clan, as the victims, insisted that their Great Elder was killed by the Lin Saint Clan.
They even threatened the Profound Heaven Holy Land, saying that if the Profound Heaven Holy Land did not give them an explanation, their Yuan Clan Saint Clan would withdraw from the Profound Heaven Holy Land!
The news that a Holy Clan was leaving the holy land alarmed the higher-ups of the Profound Heaven Holy Land, and even the lord of the holy land was alarmed.
After all, compared to the increasingly declining Lin Saint Clan, the Yuan Clan Saint Clan's overall strength ranked among the top three of the nine Holy Clan at that time.
If the Profound Heaven Holy Land wants to contend with any powerful enemies it may face and prepare for war, then the power of the Yuan Clan Saint Clan is indispensable.
Once the Yuan Clan Saint Clan breaks away from the Profound Heaven Holy Land, the Profound Heaven Holy Land will be in a precarious situation when facing the Peaceful Heaven Holy Land!
The Yuan Clan cannot retreat!
This was the consensus among all senior officials at the time.
Besides, there was another reason why the Yuan Clan Saint Clan could not be allowed to leave: their current Holy Son, Yuan Ying, was also exceptionally talented.
He was the most outstanding young genius among the Celestial Clan in the Holy Land at that time, and the one with the greatest potential to become a saint.
There is none other than that.
But the Lin Saint Clan... no matter how much they have declined, they are still a Holy Clan, a powerful force.
Therefore, at the very beginning, the higher-ups in the Holy Land wanted to mediate the relationship between the two sides.
Unfortunately, the Yuan Clan Saint Clan didn't buy into that at all.
They only had one sentence.
Two choices! Either be expelled from the Lin Clan, or lose the Yuan Clan!
Only one of the two Holy Clan can exist.
The Yuan Clan Saint Clan's attitude was resolute.
These words sealed the fate of the Lin Saint Clan.
After all, choosing between a powerful and thriving Holy Clan and a declining Holy Clan is a simple matter.
At this point, right and wrong are no longer important.
How exactly the Grand Elder of the Yuan Clan Saint Clan died is not important.
Whether the Grand Elder was actually dead or not was no longer important.
The only important thing is the answer to the question of what to choose and what to discard.
Ultimately, the Lin Saint Clan was branded a "traitor" and expelled from the Profound Heaven Holy Land!
At that time, the patriarchs of the five great Holy Clan, several supreme elders, and the holy land lords voted together. Except for the Ling Saint Clan, which had been on good terms with the Lin Saint Clan for generations, everyone else sided with the Yuan Clan Saint Clan.
The Lin Clan was thus expelled.
But the story didn't end there.
Because what the Yuan Clan Saint Clan wants is not just the departure of the Lin Saint Clan, but...
Exterminate them all!
They joined forces with the powerful Yun Saint Clan, two of the most prestigious Holy Clan in the Qi Saint Clan Profound Heaven Holy Land, to relentlessly hunt down the Lin Saint Clan members after they left the Profound Heaven Holy Land, determined to leave no one alive!
With the strength of the Lin Saint Clan alone, it was naturally impossible for them to be a match for the Yuan Clan Saint Clan plus the two other Holy Clan.
In the end, they could only scatter and flee, each one managing to escape as quickly as possible.
In that battle, countless members of the Lin Saint Clan perished, with only less than a hundred managing to escape thanks to the desperate protection of the clan leader and the Supreme Elder.
Lin Xuan...
He was one of those hundred or so people.
Besides, Lin Xuan's older brother, older sister, and younger sister are all still alive.
However, after escaping to the Saint Heaven Realm, they were separated...
Finally, when they were chased to the brink of despair, they luckily discovered an High Antiquity teleportation array.
However, due to the passage of time, only one person can be teleported...
At that time, Lin Xuan's elder brother, Lin Yu, also discovered the teleportation array.
Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Lin Yu did not hesitate. He slapped his younger brother on the back and, to Lin Xuan's disbelief, pushed him into the High Antiquity teleportation array, activating the array and teleporting Lin Xuan away.
Finally, Lin Xuan used the High Antiquity teleportation array to arrive at the Profound Domain, which was extremely far from the Eastern Continent.
At that time, he was young and had not yet formally practiced the Lineage's Cultivation Method. All the Lineage's belongings he carried were taken by Lin Yu to prevent anyone from finding his whereabouts by divination of the Lineage's items.
He arrived in the Profound Domain empty-handed, bewildered and terrified.
And Lin Yu...
He was unaware of life or death, but the probability of him surviving was extremely slim.
Since transmigrating to this world, Lin Xuan has been born into the Lin Household.
He was of average talent from a young age, not as good as his older brother Lin Yu, nor as good as his younger sister Lin Ling.
Even so, Lin Xuan did not encounter any contempt or rejection, nor did he suffer from cold looks or bullying.
His parents only had each other, and they loved each other their whole lives.
The elder brother is steady, reliable, and dotes on his younger brother.
My younger sister is clever and mischievous, but she respects her older brother.
Although her eldest sister was usually cold and stern, Lin Xuan knew that she was always warm-hearted beneath her cold exterior, especially towards him.
Even his other clansmen and uncles did not treat Lin Xuan differently because of his mediocre talent.
Although he was a time traveler and somewhat regretted not having any cheat codes or exceptional talents, these things became insignificant in the face of his harmonious family and loving clansmen.
Having been given a second chance at life, Lin Xuan cherishes his family immensely. Apart from his cultivation progressing a bit slower, he has absolutely no worries.
Moreover, even though he was of mediocre talent, his parents never discriminated when they obtained good things during their adventures; they always divided them equally among the four siblings...
But the sudden pursuit and assassination destroyed everything.
Even though so much time has passed, Lin Xuan has never forgotten his hatred for the Yuan Clan Saint Clan and the Profound Heaven Holy Land.
Or rather, every member of the Lin Saint Clan could never forget it.
But he had never revealed it before, nor had he mentioned it to anyone.
It's not that he forgot, it's just that it's meaningless.
Mentioning it would not only put him in danger, but even if it were mentioned, given his strength at the time, he would have no way to take revenge on the Yuan Clan Saint Clan.
It's even less likely that they could overthrow the behemoth that is the Profound Heaven Holy Land.
Therefore, he buried all his hatred and resentment deep in his heart.
Lin Xuan thought that, given his talent, he would probably never have the chance to successfully take revenge in his lifetime.
After all, that's a sacred land in the Eastern Continent, home to the Saint Realm realm.
Until... he awakened the system!
This gave him hope!
As his thoughts returned, Lin Xuan lowered his eyes, concealing the depth in his gaze.
" The Yuan Clan Saint Clan, and... the Profound Heaven Holy Land, await my arrival!"
