Chapter 185 - I'll take his life myself!

Everyone felt a chill colder than the wind and snow of this world.

The remaining disciples of the Cang Family were shivering even more, many of them fainting away.

However, Second Master Lin did not lay a hand on the ordinary disciples of the Spirit Sea Realm.

He just stared at the severely injured Great Elder of the Cang Family.

The Great Elder of the Cang Family was in a frenzy, looking towards the sky with a pleading look.

He did not want to die; he was only a little over a hundred years old, and by the lifespan of the Spirit Merging Realm, he had only lived half of it.

There was a much longer time awaiting him to enjoy; how could he die here?

But facing Second Master Lin in the sky, he had no confidence at all.

“It was my Cang Family’s fault this time; my Cang Family is willing to compensate with everything!” the Great Elder of the Cang Family said in a low and subservient voice.

“Second Master Lin, please calm down.

Perhaps…”

People nearby began to intercede.

Lin Cheng did not pay attention to everyone else but landed on the ground.

“Uncle!” Lin Xuan stammered.

“You’ve grown up!” Lin Cheng’s eyes shone brightly, “You can finally start cultivating!”

“I was powerless back then; I failed to protect you.

But from now on, no one dares to touch a single hair on you!”

Lin Xuan looked at the majestic man before him, feeling stirred.

“His life or death, I’ll leave it to you!”

Lin Cheng pointed at the severely injured Great Elder.

Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Xuan, while the Great Elder of the Cang Family was a mix of shame and anger.

He couldn’t believe that his fate was now in the hands of a youth.

He was a powerful figure of the Soul Fusion Realm!

However, in the current situation, he could only bow his head in contrition.

“Young Hero Lin, I was blind to your eminence; please don’t hold a grudge against me!”

Everyone was dumbfounded, hardly believing the scene before them.

“Uncle, let him go,” Lin Xuan said indifferently.

Everyone was surprised, not sure what Lin Xuan was thinking.

Had his heart softened?

The Great Elder of the Cang Family, too, felt a surge of hope; as long as he could survive this ordeal, he would have plenty of opportunities to assassinate Lin Xuan in the future!

“I want to deal with him myself!”

Lin Xuan’s voice was like a sharp blade, piercing the cloud peak, and an invisible aura of dominance ascended to the heavens.

So arrogant, too arrogant!

A martial artist of just the Spirit Sea Third Level claimed he could kill a Soul Fusion Realm expert; it was almost like a dream.

Nobody believed Lin Xuan’s words, but Lin Cheng burst into laughter.

“Truly a man of the Lin Family, indeed you have courage!”

“This old dog’s life is in your hands; I believe it won’t take long for you to achieve it!”

Everyone was speechless; this father and son were too confident.

The Great Elder of the Cang Family’s face swelled to a liver color, swearing inwardly that once he had the chance, he would tear Lin Xuan apart!

Just then, a cold voice came through.

“Lin Cheng, you seem to have forgotten something!

This kid has been expelled from the family!”

Everyone’s expression froze again; they felt like their brains couldn’t keep up.

“Do you think you can expel someone just by saying it?” Lin Cheng looked forward, “You, Lin Ye, are not the head of Sword Pond Prefecture!”

“This was the decision of the Elder Council.

Do you intend to defy it?” Lin Ye sneered, not intimidated by Lin Cheng.

Lin Xuan gazed at the middle-aged man, his heart burning with rage.

That middle-aged man was Lin Feng’s father, and it was he who had secretly orchestrated Lin Xuan’s expulsion from the family.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Lin Xuan said solemnly, “Uncle, don’t worry.”

“One year from now, at the family meeting, I will return to the family in full glory!”

“The things that originally belonged to me, I will take them all back!” Lin Xuan didn’t utter these words, but this was indeed his goal.

“Second Uncle believes in you!” Lin Cheng patted Lin Xuan’s shoulder, revealing a trace of a relieved smile.

Originally, the inability of Lin Xuan to cultivate had brought a crisis upon their lineage.

But now, everything would get better!

Lin Cheng did not leave immediately but instead announced to all directions, “According to the rules of the martial world, if the younger generation competes and gets injured or even dies, I, Lin Cheng, will not say a word.”

“However, if someone disregards their status and attacks the younger generation, don’t blame me for not being courteous!”

This was a warning that spared Lin Xuan from many potential dangers.

“Alright, now that the matter is resolved, let’s continue discussing business,” said an elder of Wenxue Sect.

A group of elders dispersed and went back to the grand hall.

Having given a few instructions, Lin Cheng also stood up and left.

The Great Elder of Cang Family gave Lin Xuan a deep look, then, supported by the crowd, also left.

Lin Xuan did not linger either, quickly heading towards his residence.

After he left, the news of what had just happened spread in all directions like Xiang Fei’s disappearance; almost everyone was aware of Lin Xuan’s identity.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng’s face turned exceedingly gloomy.

“Although I don’t know why you can cultivate, trash is still trash, and I will personally take care of you!”

This news left others in a state of shock.

They knew Lin Xuan was extraordinary, but they did not expect him to be a disciple of Sword Pond Prefecture.

Lin Xuan returned to his room and remained behind closed doors.

Currently, he was extremely pressed for time; he had only one year left before he was to return to Sword Pond Prefecture to reclaim what was his.

And before that, he had to guard against various schemes.

The people of the Cang Family would not take things lying down, and it was likely that Lin Feng’s lineage would also make a move in secret.

Only with strong power would he be able to handle everything.

Currently, he had understood about forty percent of the Wind Inheritance, just enough to barely use the Wind Emperor’s Sword.

In terms of Thunder Power, he also had about forty percent, but he could not improve at the moment.

With regard to Soul Power, progress was gradual, but reaching the level of a Second Grade Rune Master was not something that could be completed in a short period.

Improvement in Sword Intent was even more difficult.

What he could do now was to fully integrate the powers of Wind and Thunder; as long as he could merge the Wind and Thunder Power, his strength would immediately improve.

Under Lord of Wine’s guidance, Lin Xuan began to merge the powers of Wind and Thunder…

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

Lin Xuan’s hut was very calm, without a trace of disturbance.

Over these days, many people had visited, but they were all repelled by the array inside the hut.

Only Liu Yang and Weiwei were still waiting outside.

This day, a surge of energy suddenly emanated from the tranquil hut.

Clouds gathered, and Thunder clashed, with a terrifying presence spreading in the air.

However, this presence lasted only for a moment before disappearing quickly.

Liu Yang and Weiwei looked at each other and stood up.

Not long after, the Defensive Array was removed, and a handsome young man walked out.

On his shoulder, a Snow White Monkey was hopping joyfully.

“Brother Lin, you’ve finally come out!” Weiwei said with a smile on her face.

“You haven’t been waiting here for too long, have you?” Lin Xuan said, touching his nose.

Weiwei rolled her eyes at him, “You’re now a big celebrity, you don’t know how many people were at your door the past few days!”

Lin Xuan: “…”

“Alright, we came to tell you that there’s a celebration tomorrow, and we hope you can join us.”

“A celebration?” Lin Xuan was obviously not very interested.

“They say all the heroes of the younger generation will be there, and there’s bound to be some competition and exchanges,” Liu Yang said.

“Competition, you say?” Lin Xuan’s interest was suddenly piqued.
