Chapter 18: Severing Ties, Lin Yi Betrays the Clan?

Lin Yi paid no heed and continued to speak: "I ask Great Emperor Wutian to take me as his disciple; in the future, I shall certainly serve the Wang Family well!"

"You..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wutian's expression showed no sign of joy; instead, it was indescribably ugly, as if he had eaten excrement!

Because what he wanted was not someone who possessed both a Double Pupil and a Supreme Bone!

If that were the case, he could not bring him back to the Wang Family and immediately dig out the bone and gouge the eyes; he would have to wait until this brat Lin Yi reached the Great Saint cultivation level before he could dig out the bone and gouge the eyes.

Otherwise, it would be of no use at all!

This brat had actually completely disrupted his plan!

Could it be that behind him... there was an expert providing guidance?

Wang Wutian gritted his teeth until they made a sound, maintaining a smile as he probed:

"Lin Yi, did you dig out your younger brother's Supreme Bone on purpose, or was it an accident?"

Lin Yi cupped his hands: "Reporting to Master, I did it on purpose by accident. Such a good opportunity to defect to the Wang Family should rightfully belong to me, Lin Yi, alone!"

Wang Wutian was stunned; the brat before him spoke flawlessly, and he could not find a single issue!

Boom, boom, boom!

Hearing Lin Yi's reply, the Wang Family army surging rapidly behind could not help but reveal a trace of disdain in their eyes!

Wang Teng, at the front of the army, watched Lin Yi kneeling and stroked his chin beard, saying thoughtfully:

"This child is truly unscrupulous in order to defect to our Wang Family, actually digging out his own biological brother's bone. If we subdue him, we must train him well and grind down his ferocity!"

Hearing this, Wang Xiao waved his hand, unimpressed: "A declining Imperial Clan, what do they have to retain a heaven-gifted talent? Hmph, this heaven-gifted talent should rightfully belong to my Wang Family! Don't say he is only at the Dragon Transformation Realm; even if he were a Great Saint or a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert, after eating our Wang Family's Soul-Confusing Pill, he would still become the most loyal servant!"

Wang Teng nodded and said no more; with several ancestors present on this occasion, he did not have much to say.

To the side, the Third Ancestor Wang Wuxiang, who had been silent all along, stroked his chin and looked at Lin Yi—who had previously been as firm as iron, disregarding him and beating others at will, but now had betrayed the Lin Family—and thought to himself:

"It is absolutely impossible for this brat to betray the Lin Family just like this, but the facts are before my eyes, and I have to believe it. But it is truly strange..."

Having not figured it out for the moment, Wang Wuxiang continued to watch.

Lin Yi spoke loudly toward Wang Wutian again: "Please, Great Emperor, take me as your disciple!"

Wang Wutian looked deeply at Lin Yi and said in a low voice: "Since that is the case, then I shall take you, Lin Yi, as my disciple!"

Lin Yi suddenly looked up, his expression full of joy!

"Many thanks, Master!"

At the same time, step, step, step...

Among the angry Lin Family members below, a haggard figure walked out.

Lin Bufan!

His eyes were full of bloodshot veins as he said word by word: "Beast, you are no longer worthy of being my son!"

After roaring, he sighed inwardly: "Yi is acting too much like the real thing. The person with the deepest thoughts in the entire Lin Family is him; even I fall short, fearing I might not be able to keep up with his words and reveal the ruse."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yi looked back sharply.

Wang Wutian immediately stared fixedly at his expression; if Lin Yi showed even the slightest trace of hesitation or pain today...

Then that could only mean that Lin Yi must have an expert providing guidance behind him!

And perhaps even knew the truth about his Wang Family's Forbidden Technique!

Then he would not hesitate to break his oath, wipe out the Lin Family, and force that person behind him to come out or reveal a flaw!

Unfortunately, there was none.

Lin Yi's face was full of resentment, chillingly cold, as he pointed at Lin Bufan and shouted sharply:

"Just because you are a mere newly-promoted Great Saint, you are worthy of being my father? I do not have such a weak father! Since you said it yourself today, then I will lay my cards on the table with you: from now on, I sever the father-son relationship with you!"

"No, I want to sever ties with the entire Lin Family!"

As the words fell, the whole scene went silent!

Pfft!

"Unfilial son...!"

A large mouthful of blood sprayed from Lin Bufan's mouth, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed!

Fortunately, he was supported by the Lin Family members.

Everyone's eyes were red as they cursed and roared:

"Lin Yi, get lost! Don't let us see you again!"

"Don't you fall into our hands, otherwise we will definitely make you, this traitor to the clan, die without a burial place!"

A large group of the younger generation of the Lin Family cursed wildly at Lin Yi!

The clan elders behind also looked at him with unkind expressions.

Not only that, the disdain on the faces of the Wang Family members deepened!

If such a person did not have excellent talent, their Wang Family would not want him!

Unfaithful, unrighteous, and unfilial; simply heartless!

Seeing this, Wang Wutian clicked his tongue; he almost believed it, the corners of his mouth curling into a strange arc, and then he closed his eyes to rest his mind.

He felt there was no need to keep watching; if judging only by the present, he really could not tell if it was true or false.

But it did not matter; once he fed this Lin Yi a Soul-Confusing Pill, Lin Yi would be obedient!

"A bunch of ants, among the younger generation, who is a match for me in a single exchange? Oh right, except for my good brother Lin Hao who can trade a few moves with me, you are all trash!"

Lin Yi glanced down with a faint, disdainful look and mocked lightly.

Having said that, he walked directly behind Wang Wutian and stood there, closing his eyes as well, and never looked down again.

"Lin Yi, one day, our Lin Family will definitely purge you from our ranks!"

The entire younger generation of the Lin Family was completely ignited, their eyes surging with fighting spirit!

Lin Yi's eyes were tightly shut, yet he still spat out two words indifferently: "Ants."

"Cough, cough..."

In an instant, Lin Bufan seemed to have aged more than ten years; his body hunched, and he looked at Wang Wutian with a miserable, incessant laugh, "Great Emperor, in this way, can you let our Lin Family go?"

Wang Wutian opened his eyes and nodded impatiently, his deep gaze lost in thought, before he turned and waved his hand: "This Emperor keeps his word; I will not move against your Lin Family within a hundred years! However, for the Imperial Clan Competition of the Taixuan Realm five days from now, your Lin Family, as an Imperial Clan, you... must come!"

"This time, our Wang Family will bring out the Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, the Samsara Disk, to compete! And the rules of the competition, I believe you should understand them, right?"

Having said that, he used a World in the Palm to take away Lin Yi and the entire Wang Family.

He didn't even deign to speak more to the members of the Lin Family!

Leaving behind only the humiliated members of the Lin Family, pounding the ground in frustration!

The Imperial Clan Competition is held every ten years.

The rule is that the seven Imperial Clans of the current Taixuan Realm each send three hundred members of the younger generation to enter the Ancient Battlefield to slaughter each other!

Whichever family has the most people left at the end is the winner, and then they divide the rewards of the last-place family according to their rankings!

The reason the Lin Family had fallen into such a slump was because they had been in last place for three consecutive competitions...

Their cultivation resources had been almost entirely carved up!

And the Wang Family had taken first place for ten consecutive competitions!

The first-place Imperial Clan of each competition can designate the competition reward; if the Wang Family brings out an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon as a reward this time, then all other Imperial Clans must bring out an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon to wager!

But the Wang Family's strength was formidable, and they had always won steadily!

The other Imperial Clans, just like the Lin Family, were suppressed to the point of helplessness!

Everyone fought with all their might, as no one wanted to become the target to be carved up!

"It's over. If we lose this time, I'm afraid even the Immortal Cauldron will be lost!"

"Damn Lin Yi! As our clan's number one genius, he actually betrayed the clan at this critical moment, watching as our Lin Family heads toward destruction!"

"Bah! Bullshit number one genius, he's just a wolf-hearted, dog-lunged piece of trash!"

The younger generation of the Lin Family cursed Lin Yi, who had already left with Wang Wutian, to the point of being bloody-headed, and dragged Lin Bufan into the cursing as well.

Lin Bufan shook his head and laughed miserably, not bothering to argue; he carried his second son, Lin Hao, who had been dug of his Supreme Bone and was unconscious, on his back, and turned to walk away, leaving a bloody footprint with every step.

With his face covered in tears, he muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear: "Ancestor, the Wang Family still won't let us go. The delaying tactic cannot hold them off. If you don't return, I really won't be able to hold on either..."

Watching Lin Bufan's departing back, Lin Yanran, who had been silent all along and whose eyes had long since turned red, finally couldn't hold back and shouted sternly:

"I think Lin Yi was still too lenient with you; you are just a bunch of losers who only know how to complain! If you're done cursing, get out of here and cultivate!"

"If there's really no one to step up, I'll go up and do it!"

As the big sister of the Lin Family's younger generation, Lin Yanran had quite a lot of prestige, and at her stern shout, the crowd slunk away.

After everyone had left...

Only Lin Yanran remained on the plaza, looking toward the direction of the Wang Family, her delicate body trembling as she whispered to herself: "Lin Yi, take care!"

"One day, you will prove to the world that you, Lin Yi, are the man with the most guts in the entire Lin Family and the entire Zhutian Wanjie!"

At the same time, in the Wang Family's main hall.

There were only two people in the hall.

Wang Wutian sat on the highest seat, looking at the dazed Lin Yi, and asked in a deep voice: "Why on earth did you personally dig out your younger brother Lin Hao's Supreme Bone? Could it be... that someone behind the scenes instructed you?"

He had actually used the great divine ability of the Soul Hypnosis Technique on Lin Yi!

Cautious, extremely cautious!

Aside from a certain Great Emperor who had been beaten to tears, no Great Emperor was a pushover!

They were all people with firm Dao Hearts and extremely deep schemes!

Lin Yi tilted his head and said dully: "No one... instructed me. I, Lin Yi, was born with a Double Pupil and am destined to become a peerless genius. Having an extra Supreme Bone will only make me like a tiger that has grown wings!"

"Then why did you join the Wang Family and take me as your master?"

Lin Yi said: "There is an old saying in the Taixuan Realm: those who understand the times are heroes. Being able to join the Wang Family and take the Great Emperor as my master is my, Lin Yi's, great fortune!"

"Understand the times, are heroes?" Wang Wutian's expression sank. Could it really be a coincidence?

If that were truly the case, then he must cultivate this Lin Yi well; once he became a Great Saint in the shortest time possible, he would immediately dig out the bone and gouge out the eyes!

Swish...!

He waved his hand to undo the divine ability, and Lin Yi's eyes instantly became clear!

With a look of panic, he said: "Master, what just happened to me? Why did I feel like my brain was out of control? I didn't say anything I shouldn't have, did I?"

Wang Wutian smiled: "It's nothing, you were just tired. Go down and rest. Take these Creation Pills and cultivate well! Do not let down the expectations I have for you!"

He raised his hand, and several pills fell into Lin Yi's hands.

Lin Yi cupped his hands and said with great joy: "Thank you, Master!"

Wang Wutian waved his hand and said softly: "Go."

"Alright." Lin Yi put away the pills and left.

Wang Wutian turned around with his hands behind his back, a sneer flashing in his eyes, "Eat them. As long as you eat my Wang Family's Soul-Confusing Pill, regardless of whether you have other thoughts, you will become the most loyal dog!"

At the same time, in the Boundary Sea.

Lin Potian had already cleared the first level and reached the entrance to the second level of the Tongtian Tower!
