Dressed in a splendid purple robe, the young man exuded a heroic and remarkably elegant bearing. His aura circulated him like the flames of the giant furnace, making him unusually threatening and terrifying.
It was a sign that his blood and qi had been tempered to an extremely terrifying level.
A group of attendants, composed of both women and men, closely followed him like stars surrounding the moon and made him look even more extraordinary.
Zuo Yang!
Instantly, many people recognized the purple-robed youngster. He was a dazzling genius of the younger generation of the Zuo Clan. He had extraordinary talent and was seen as a dragon among men.
The attendants following him were no doubt all from the Zuo Clan!
As one of the seven high clans, the Zuo Clan had monstrous authority and a terrifying foundation. They even had a Life Death Stage King within the clan!
Their appearance made Xiaoke, Spirit Vulture and the others assume solemn expressions. The people behind the scenes had finally shown up.
As soon as the purple-robed youth Zuo Yang arrived, he looked up at the sky and gave an order, “Sixth Uncle, stop!”
Boom!The skinny old man who was locked in a fierce battle with Lin Zhong suddenly let out a roar, withdrew from the battle, and returned to stand next to the purple-robed youth.
The skinny old man was Zuo Yang’s sixth uncle.
“Qin An, you should also come back.”
A deep voice sounded from another area like a metallic ring. Then, a dignified young man with gray hair and dark clothes stepped forward in large strides.
He had a metal-like aura around his body, bright eyes, a majestic gait, and a calm graceful bearing.
A group of attendants were also following the young man like Zuo Yang.
Qin Xing!
He was a descendant of the Qin Clan and a genius who had long made a name for himself in Forbidden City. He had unfathomable potential, extraordinary talent, and possessed the innate talent of Golden Bone Body.
Spirit Vulture’s and Xiaoke’s faces became overcast. Now that the people of the Qin and Zuo Clans appeared, a huge storm would no doubt break out soon.
“Uncle Zhong and Third Old Zhu, come back,” Lin Xun said aloud.
His expression remained indifferent and calm. He might not recognize Zuo Yang and Qin Xing, but he could tell that they were from the Zuo and Qin Clans!
Third Old Zhu and Lin Zhong stood behind Lin Xun.
Lin Zhong’s face was overcast with worry.
Third Old Zhu was as still and quiet as ever.
On the opposite side, the group of people from the Zuo Clan and the Qin Clan had come onto the battlefield, which made the situation appear to be a tripartite confrontation.
However, everyone knew that the Zuo Clan and the Qin Clan were allies working together to defeat Lin Xun!
Xiaoke, Spirit Vulture, and the clansmen of the North Light Lin Clan all realized the seriousness of their situation and that a true threat had come.
Lin Zhi and the group of cultivators from the Lin Clan collateral branches were nothing but a group of small potatoes. Conflicts with them could only be regarded as internal strife in the Lin Family.
However, the appearance of the Zuo and Qin Clans indicated that the internal strife had escalated to a situation of fending off foreign enemies.
The Zuo Clan and the Qin Clan!
They were both part of the seven high clans of the empire. Their clans had tremendous foundations and countless masters. They were behemoths with the powers to perch high in the Ziyao Empire.
In comparison, Mind Cleansing Peak wasn’t even considered a lower aristocratic clan. The difference between them and the high clans made many people feel hopeless and despair.
“You’re Lin Xun? I thought you were hiding on Mind Cleansing Peak and didn’t dare to come out. I didn’t expect you to kill someone from your Lin Family. You surprised me!” Zuo Yang crossed his arms as he spoke. His calm expression was tinged with a hint of conceit and his voice had a touch of mockery.
“This is an internal matter of my Lin Family. What does it have to do with you? What are you? Do you want to be killed for intervening in the affairs of my Lin Family?” Lin Xun retorted, his expression indifferent and his words became even ruder.
Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture trembled inwardly as they had realized that Lin Xun was ready to risk anything to vent his fury.
Xiaoke couldn’t help but ask, “Is this…a good idea?”
“We have nowhere to go now, and Lin Xun wants to break the situation with force. It might work, but the risk is huge.” Spirit Vulture’s calm eyes sparkled with stars of wisdom.
“How dare you! How dare you be rude to my young master! Hurry up and apologize! Do you want to die!?”
The attendants behind Zuo Yang bellowed when they heard Lin Xun’s words.
The area outside of Mind Cleansing Peak belonged to the Lin Clan, but even servants dared to lecture Lin Xun. This showed how arrogant the Zuo Family was.
“You’re just a bunch of slaves. If you dare to bark again, don’t even think about leaving here alive today,” Lin Xun warned them.
The servants were boiling with rage. That kid is so crazy! Does he not have any eyes? Can’t he see what the situation is?
“Little junior, you want to die!”
Zuo Yang’s sixth uncle was also seething and exuding a baleful aura.
“Old thing, you’re the one who wants to die.”
Lin Xun’s black eyes were ice-cold. “You not only interfered in the internal affairs of my Lin Family but you also caused a scene on Mind Cleansing Peak. Do you want me to cut off your tongue?”
Hiss—
Many people gasped. The skinny old man was called Zuo Shengjin and was Zuo Yang’s sixth uncle, an older generation Heaven Ascension cultivator.
However, Lin Xun wasn’t the slightest afraid. He called him an old thing and threatened to cut off his tongue!
Zuo Shengjin angrily laughed. “Little guy, are you not afraid of death? Don’t tell me you think that the little strength of Mind Cleansing Peak can challenge our Zuo Clan?”
His expression turned chilly. “I’m not afraid to tell you that it won’t be long before your branch of the Lin Clan will be wiped out!”
“Old thing, can you do nothing but talk?” Lin Xun shot him a sidelong glare as though he was unafraid.
The clansmen of the North Light Lin Clan smacked their lips. Although they had heard about Lin Xun forcing the Marquis of Rising Sky to kneel, they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes. It was only now that they had finally witnessed his strength and power.
Zuo Shengjin was so furious that he almost coughed up blood. How could he stand being called an old thing by a kid?
“Hahaha.”
Peals of laughter rang in another area. The group of cultivators from the Qin Clan watching afar couldn’t help but laugh mockingly.
Many Zuo Clansmen’s faces darkened. They hated the fact that they couldn’t immediately skin Lin Xun alive and crush his bones.
Zuo Shengjin was about to say something when Zuo Yang stopped him “Sixth Uncle, please step back. Leave Lin Xun to me.”
As he was speaking, his expression was colder than ice, but his body was blazing like a cauldron, and he was haloed with terrifying light and mist.
Zuo Yang was no doubt extraordinary since he could release such a terrifying imposing bearing from just the circulation of his aura. He was no doubt one of the top figures of the Spirit Sea Stage.
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. He had to admit that the Zuo Clan had a powerful foundation since they could cultivate a genius such as Zuo Yang.
“Lin Xun, do you dare to fight against me?”
Zuo Yang asked as his eyes locked on Lin Xun like sharp blades. His voice echoed like a clap of thunder, stirring the wind and clouds.
“You want to fight against me?” Lin Xun sounded surprised.
“Correct.”
Zuo Yang’s eyes were threatening and aggressive. “I heard that you defeated Chi Cangfeng and forced the Marquis of Rising Sky to kneel. I’m very curious whether those rumors are true, so I want to find out for myself.”
Zuo Yang was very prideful so he wanted to suppress Lin Xun with his strength.
Many people on the Mind Cleansing Peak’s side turned ashen-faced. Zuo Yang came prepared!
However, Lin Xun shook his head. “No, you’re not qualified.”
He spoke nonchalantly like it was an insignificant matter.
The entire audience was dumbstruck.
Zuo Yang was a dazzling genius figure known throughout the Forbidden City, but Lin Xun felt that Zuo Yang wasn’t worthy of challenging him! How arrogant!
“Kid, could it be that you’re afraid? You don’t dare to fight against our young master?” mocked one of the attendants of the Zuo Clan.
“He’s a coward who only knows how to act tough!”
The people from the Zuo Clan ridiculed and humiliated Lin Xun in different ways.
“Haha, you guys are shameless. Lin Xun dared to force the Marquis of Rising Sky to kneel at the empress’ birthday banquet. Who here would dare to do the same?” someone from the North Light Lin Clan couldn’t help but interrupt. “Your young master is indeed not qualified to fight against Lin Xun!”
It was just a sentence, but it shut everyone up. Everyone in the Forbidden City knew that the Marquis of Rising Sky had been forced to kneel, so if Lin Xun was a coward, how would he dare to do so?
“Hmph, the Marquis of Rising Sky and my young master are different people! Lin Xun, if you are afraid, just admit defeat!”
The clansmen of the Qin Clan couldn’t help but laugh mockingly at the farce.
“The high and mighty Zuo Clan is arguing with a child like the women bickering on the streets. How embarrassing!”
“Haha, I didn’t expect the Zuo Clan to be so useless to be humiliated by Lin Xun. How funny!”
Zuo Yang’s face darkened. All his people glowered at the Qin Clan. These guys are fanning the flames! How irritating!
“Leave Lin Xun to me.”
Qin Xing stepped forward with the majestic gait of a king and the corners of his lips curled in an imperceptible smile.
“Lin Xun is my opponent!”
Zuo Yang’s expression was ice-cold as his scorching and terrifying aura pervaded the air, threatening Qin Xing from afar.
“Ridiculous! You can’t stop me!”
Qin Xing’s expression also turned chilling and filled with confidence and conceit.
Instantly, the atmosphere had palpably altered. No one had expected Qin Xing to intervene at such a time.
It became still and quiet.
Zuo Yang and Qin Xing were both superb genius talents with a monstrous clan behind them. How would people not be surprised to see famous figures like them fight over the chance to go up against Lin Xun?
“I understand. If someone can defeat Lin Xun, it is equivalent to them defeating Hua Wuyou, Chi Cangfeng, and the Marquis of Rising Sky. After all, Lin Xun has defeated them all!” whispered someone from the North Light Lin Clan.
“This is the chance to step on Lin Xun and rise to fame!”
Many people suddenly understood that Lin Xun was like the highest mountain peak of the younger generation. Whoever stepped on him would become famous in the empire!
