Chapter 41: The Imperial Clan Competition Ends, Lin Yi... Dies!
Whoosh...!
Lin Potian tore open the Star Gate and stepped out.
"Feng'er, Xiaoyue, why haven't you left yet?"
He saw two people standing outside the gate; it was Lin Feng and Ji Xiaoyue. Both wore expressions of worry and were pacing back and forth anxiously!
Lin Potian was dumbfounded. Hadn't he teleported them away?
Were they truly not afraid that Xingsu Daoren might emerge and wipe them out with a wave of his hand?
Hearing his voice, Lin Feng stood up, looking excited. "Ancestor, you actually didn't die?"
Lin Potian's face darkened. Did he have to be dead, then?
Realizing he had misspoken, Lin Feng looked embarrassed. He rubbed the tip of his nose and chuckled sheepishly: "I meant that I knew the Ancestor would surely turn misfortune into a blessing! I could still sense that the Ancestor's life soul was alive, so we didn't leave!"
Ji Xiaoyue's nose turned red, and she suddenly burst into tears: "Master, it's so good to see you again!"
Lin Potian waved his hand, feeling a warmth in his heart. As expected, there were still people worried about his safety, but this was not the time for such talk. Lin Potian said in a deep voice:
"The Taixuan Realm Imperial Clan Competition is about to end. To avoid any accidents, we must return to the Lin Family immediately!"
Lin Potian was truly worried; he always had a bad premonition!
That brat Lin Hao might be slaughtering the geniuses of the Wang Family in the Imperial Clan Competition, thereby inciting the monstrous fury of the Wang Family's Great Emperor!
But Lin Feng looked relaxed and didn't care at all: "It's fine! Ancestor, the Lin Family will surely be worry-free!"
Lin Potian was puzzled. "Feng'er, what do you mean?"
Lin Feng chuckled: "Ancestor, just after Xiaoyue and I came out, we met two seniors with horns. They said the time had come, and since they couldn't wait for you, they went to the Taixuan Realm first to protect our Lin Family!"
Hearing this, Lin Potian reacted instantly. The ones with horns...
Weren't those Ao Yin and his son Ao Wushuang?
He had indeed told them that if they came out first, they should help go to the Taixuan Realm to protect the Lin Family!
Lin Potian thought for a moment and muttered to himself: "The two dragons are powerful. With them protecting the family, it should be worry-free, right?"
"Then I will go settle accounts with the three Great Emperors of Taichu first and save Wan'er!"
Lin Potian made a decision in an instant, choosing to go to the Imperial Pass first to rescue his younger sister, Lin Wan'er.
"Feng'er, Xiaoyue, I am going to the Imperial Pass first. Do you want to come with me?"
Lin Potian looked over.
Ji Xiaoyue lowered her head and said nothing. Lin Feng scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Ancestor, we won't go with you. First, our strength is low, and we can't help you with anything; we would only become a burden! Second, Xiaoyue and I have decided to go out and venture on our own..."
Hearing this, Lin Potian narrowed his eyes slightly. Feng'er's expression...
Something is up!
He beckoned and walked into the distance: "Feng'er, come here for a moment."
Lin Feng walked over. "Ancestor, what is it?"
Lin Potian chuckled in a low voice, looking as if he understood: "Feng'er, do you like this girl Xiaoyue?"
Lin Feng's expression froze on the spot!
He took a deep look at Ji Xiaoyue in the distance, turned back, lowered his head, and said in a faint voice: "Ancestor, do... do you believe in love at first sight?"
Lin Potian thought to himself, as expected!
From the very beginning, when Lin Feng pleaded for Ji Xiaoyue and asked him to teach her cultivation, Lin Potian had felt something was off!
It was more than just a little off!
But regarding this, love at first sight?
He had no experience with that either!
Lin Potian couldn't help but think of some things. Recalling for a moment, his expression became strange: "The Ancestor only believes that love grows over time. Forget it, since you have already decided, then go. Remember not to neglect your cultivation! A forced melon is not sweet; don't you bully little Xiaoyue, or I won't spare you!"
Lin Feng waved his hands repeatedly, his expression firm: "I definitely won't!"
"Alright, Xiaoyue, you come over too."
Lin Potian nodded slightly, beckoned Ji Xiaoyue over as well, gave them some protective items, and two Jade Tablets that could summon him, then said in a deep voice:
"Don't go around flaunting my name when you are out, but don't be afraid of trouble when you encounter it! If there is a problem you cannot solve, crush this Jade Tablet, and my avatar will descend!"
The two nodded repeatedly. Lin Potian raised his arm, shot a golden light from his fingertips, and a path was blasted open!
This was a safe path that led to a great world far away from the Imperial Pass.
As for the Imperial Pass, Lin Potian was all too familiar with it; he knew the terrain by heart!
"Then you go from here!"
"Alright, Ancestor/Master!"
Lin Feng and Ji Xiaoyue bowed and left.
Watching the two leave safely, Lin Potian turned around and calculated with his fingers. A sharp light appeared in his eyes, and killing intent surged. He growled:
"Taichu, Mangcang, Tianni, your Grandfather Potian is coming!"
Rip!
Lin Potian tore open the space here and flashed away!
At the same time, in the Taixuan Realm domain, in the Small World where the Imperial Clan Competition was being held.
In mid-air, two young figures stood like peerless blades, facing each other sharply.
Lin Hao was dressed in black, panting heavily, his long hair dancing wildly in the wind, his eyes burning with fighting spirit!
And the person opposite him was none other than Lin Yi!
His white clothes were stained with blood, and he held a long sword. The tip of the sword trembled slightly, and his condition was much better than Lin Hao's.
Below, the battlefield of the Small World had already become an Asura hell, with densely packed corpses of geniuses covering the ground!
Among them, the number of Wang Family geniuses was the highest; all of them had fallen!
Lin Yi shook his head incessantly; honestly, he had not expected this outcome.
Once he entered the Small World, Lin Yi had tried every possible way to trap Lin Hao and the other geniuses of the clan who had come here, to avoid a direct confrontation, but he had not expected Lin Hao to actually break out!
And he had pursued the Wang Family geniuses all the way; by the time Lin Yi arrived, the scene had already turned into a slaughterhouse!
But this completely disrupted Lin Yi's plan; he had originally intended to hunt down another Imperial Clan that had a feud with the Wang Family, thereby lowering their ranking so that the Lin Family would not end up in last place, but this move by Lin Hao had caused the plan to fail completely!
Now the Lin Family was in first place!
The Wang Family geniuses were all dead, while on the other hand, the clansmen were all still alive; what would Wang Wutian think of this?
Lin Yi did not even need to think about it; Wang Wutian would definitely be in a Thunderous rage!
But clearly, Wang Wutian no longer had the time to stay in the Taixuan Realm!
Lin Yi had seen the Emperor Alliance envoys come more than once to urge Wang Wutian to head to the Imperial Pass to participate in the Imperial War and resist Yiyu!
But now, Wang Wutian would definitely disregard the previous hundred-year ceasefire agreement with the Lin Family and personally take action to annihilate the Lin Family before leaving!
Now there was only one way left that could still stall Wang Wutian...
However, this involved an element of gambling.
He had once heard that Great Emperor-level powerhouses could bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones in an instant, but he did not know if it was true or false.
If it were true, that would be good.
If it were false, so be it.
Lin Yi was tired.
Looking at Lin Hao, who was burning with fighting spirit opposite him, Lin Yi was truly tired and sighed faintly:
"Little brother, just how far can this pair of eyes of yours see?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, then retorted with an angry laugh: "Indeed, I cannot see as far as you, the traitor of the Lin Family! The Imperial Clan Competition is about to end, and now my Lin Family is first. The Wang Family? They have also been trampled under my feet! Your cultivation resources also all belong to my Lin Family. Haha, this is your choice, Lin Yi; it is truly laughable!"
Lin Yi smiled, looked at his naive younger brother Lin Hao, shook his head, and said: "Do you think the Lin Family can hold onto these things now?"
Lin Hao was stunned, "What do you mean? Speak clearly!"
Lin Yi did not speak, but simply wielded his sword and slashed down at Lin Hao's head, though there were many openings!
How could Lin Hao see that? His emotions flared up instantly, and his eyes turned blood-red, "Lin Yi, you actually want to kill me?!"
Lin Hao felt distressed and heartbroken; his older brother actually wanted to kill him?
Clearly, he had not even used his full strength earlier, yet his older brother actually wanted to kill him for the sake of the Wang Family people?
Lin Hao did not hesitate, or perhaps out of self-preservation, he threw a punch at Lin Yi!
Boom!
Lin Yi's long sword slipped from his hand!
The fist pierced through Lin Yi's chest, punching straight through!
Lin Yi collapsed to the ground...
Lin Hao was stained with blood; he subconsciously caught Lin Yi, his expression blank for an instant, and then...
He burst into loud, broken sobs!
"Why? You could have blocked it! Why didn't you block it!"
Lin Yi spat out blood continuously, shook his head, and smiled with relief: "Cough, cough... little brother, congratulations, the traitor of the Lin Family has been eliminated by you. It's just that, sometimes, you really aren't smart enough..."
"Think carefully about why I trapped you and the clansmen earlier."
Having said that, Lin Yi's gaze gradually grew unfocused; he had not blocked this punch, and his heart meridian had been completely shattered!
"Lin Yi, speak clearly! Wake up and speak clearly to me! I don't understand, I really don't understand!"
Lin Hao sobbed uncontrollably, but he could not stop Lin Yi's life from slipping away; he did not understand, he really did not understand!
"Lin Yi, wake up!"
"Brother... brother, don't die!"
As Lin Yi's life force was completely severed, Lin Hao completely collapsed, and a line of blood and tears streamed from his eyes!
Rumble!
The Small World also opened at this moment; the time for the competition had arrived!
The people of the Wang Family, the people of the Lin Family, and the other Imperial Clans all looked over simultaneously!
Wang Family Patriarch Wang Teng did not even look, turned around, and said arrogantly, "No need to look! The first place is definitely our Wang Family!"
The Wang Family powerhouses behind him also laughed, with expressions that said it should be so.
But the next second, the scene was deathly silent, even terrified into silence, where one could hear a pin drop!
Only in the void, the voice of Wang Wutian, who had descended in one step, roared out word by word, chillingly!
"Junior, you, are, courting, death!"
"Lin Family, all of you, must be buried with the geniuses of my Wang Family!!!"
