Chapter 81: Issuing an Imperial Decree, Calling the Entire Emperor Alliance to Account!

Lin Potian's footsteps stopped immediately; he was very familiar with this female voice, and he turned his head with a light chuckle:

"Zhong Lin, what is it? Are you here to prepare to criticize me?"

Yet in his heart, he secretly thought, 'Why did Zhong Lin come? Could it be that she still holds a grudge because I once peeked... cough cough, accidentally saw her bathing?'

Zhong Lin shook her head repeatedly, her voice mixed with complex emotions, her eyes like water as she looked at Lin Potian, and she said softly: "I have no reason to criticize you; I only want to say that if one day you are to protect the Heavens again and drive out the Yiyu, please take me with you. I also want to contribute to the Heavens!"

"That sounds great, I'll definitely take you along when the time comes! I still have things to do, see you later!"

Lin Potian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart; it was fortunate that it was only this matter!

He was truly afraid that Zhong Lin would bring up the past again and chase after him to make him marry her; if that happened, things would be a big deal!

If Liuli found out, would he be able to keep his third leg?

Not daring to stay long, Lin Potian waved his hand, took a step, and fled in a panic!

"If life... could just be like our first meeting, why would the autumn wind grieve the painted fan." Zhong Lin's gaze fixed on the direction where Lin Potian disappeared, lost in a daze for quite a while.

The autumn wind blew gently, lifting a few strands of dark hair from her forehead, dancing with the wind, and a faint smile curled at the corners of her mouth—a smile carrying bitterness and relief.

Finally, she shook her head lightly and turned to leave, but she did not return to the Zhong Family; no one knew where she went.

At the same time, Lin Potian arrived at the Central Heaven where the Emperor Alliance was located, and he looked back with lingering fear to see if Zhong Lin had caught up!

"Good thing, good thing she didn't catch up; otherwise, if she wanted me to marry her again, that would be truly troublesome! I don't know if Liuli is secretly monitoring me; if she finds out, that little vinegar jar will definitely tip over again!"

Seeing that Zhong Lin had not caught up, Lin Potian felt much more relaxed and gave a light, bitter laugh:

"I really did feel guilty toward Zhong Lin for that incident back then. Although my original intention was to find some opportunities, who knew that while searching, I would end up in her boudoir, and just happened to bump into her bathing? She thought I was a lecherous pervert; who can I reason with about that?"

"The most speechless part is that this woman chased me to kill me, and after failing to kill me, she actually wanted me to take responsibility and marry her? How could that work! Sigh, but I still feel guilty in my heart..."

Lin Potian felt incredibly complex about Zhong Lin.

The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart; the Warm Fragrant Jade Pendant hanging on Lin Potian's neck flickered slightly for an instant.

And this pendant was the protective talisman Liuli had given to Lin Potian, containing a clone with fifty percent of her combat power from her peak period!

But what Liuli didn't tell Lin Potian was that as long as this clone remained unused, she could monitor every move of his, Lin Potian, anytime and anywhere!

"Yo yo yo, you're feeling guilty now? Heh, men!"

In a cultivation room of the Immortal Domain's Chu Family, Liuli stopped her cultivation, her delicate fists clenched tight, and she almost rolled her eyes to the heavens!

And Lin Potian continued to feel ashamed to himself, and after feeling ashamed for another two and a half seconds, he summoned the Tongtian Command Spirit and asked in a deep voice:

"Xiaoxiao, is there any news about the Tongtian Tower?"

"Young Master, still, still... no, but don't panic, give me a little more time!"

"I know Young Master is in a hurry, but I am even more anxious than you!"

The spirit appeared with a look of irritation, scratching its head constantly, and the ponytail on its head was rubbed into a mess!

Seeing the spirit acting like an ant on a hot pan, Lin Potian felt embarrassed to keep pressing it.

He chuckled: "It's fine, then you keep looking."

Immediately, his gaze looked coldly into the distance, he put away the Tongtian Command, took another step, and arrived at a magnificent ancient palace.

On both sides of the palace gate stood two huge stone statues, holding long swords, their gazes like torches; on the golden plaque above the ancient palace, two characters were written with sweeping strokes—Emperor Alliance!

But the Emperor Alliance, which should have been the gathering place for the Great Emperors of the Zhutian Wanjie, was surprisingly quiet at this moment, or one could even describe it as deathly silent!

Lin Potian focused his gaze inside and didn't see a single figure; let alone a person, there wasn't even a ghost!

But it was normal; when the Ji Family was first wiped out in the Highest Heaven, the Heavens were already shaken, and it was only natural that the Emperor Alliance would run away after receiving the news.

Lin Potian gave a light hum, "Escaping so fast? But... it's useless!"

His eyes turned sharp in an instant, and as his fingers danced, a sheet of white paper spread out rapidly in his palm!

Almost simultaneously, Lin Potian wrote with sweeping strokes, every character containing immense pressure, every word heavy as a thousand jun!

After writing, Lin Potian blew on it lightly, and the white paper moved without wind, flashed with light, and turned into a Golden Decree, hovering in mid-air, its characters flowing with radiance and revealing an unquestionable majesty!

Boom!

A brilliant and dazzling light suddenly erupted from the decree, turning into golden ripples that spread toward every world in the Zhutian Wanjie, and it expanded rapidly; let alone cultivators, even mortals could see it!

A voice like the sound of the heavens rang out automatically, reciting the content on the decree:

"I limit those of you who participated in the siege of the Lin Family to return to the Emperor Alliance within one stick of incense, otherwise... bear the consequences yourselves!"

"As for Taichu, Mangcang, and Tianni, I... only give you half a stick of incense!"

After the heavenly voice finished speaking, the decree did not dissipate; a stick of incense condensed from Immortal Essence appeared on it, and the countdown began!

A passerby cultivator in a Great World looked up at the decree in the sky in horror and exclaimed in fear: "Who is it that dares to call the Great Emperors by their names? Is he not afraid of being punished by the Heavenly Dao?"

A second passerby cultivator heard this and laughed out loud: "Do you think someone who can write such a decree would be afraid of this Heavenly Dao punishment? You are truly a frog in a well! No, the Emperor Alliance is in the Central Heaven; with my Saint Realm cultivation, I can arrive in two sticks of incense, maybe I can even watch the show!"

Having said that, this second passerby cultivator set off directly toward the Central Heaven!

"Lin Family? Which Lin Family? Why haven't I heard of it? But this move is equivalent to challenging the entire Emperor Alliance; no, I have to go watch the show too!"

A third passerby cultivator also rushed toward the Central Heaven without stopping!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!

The entire Heavens instantly set off a wave of people heading toward the Central Heaven, with at least hundreds of millions of cultivators with decent cultivation rushing over!

And in a certain Great World, a delicate-looking youth who was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, but had extremely high cultivation, reaching the Saint King realm, widened his eyes and stared blankly at the dazzling decree in the sky, his voice carrying a trace of disbelief as he asked the pretty girl beside him in confusion:

"Xiaoyue, listen, why does this voice sound like... like the voice of my ancestor?"

As he spoke, his fingers trembled slightly, pointing at the Golden Decree hovering in mid-air, his eyes filled with immense shock!

And this youth was none other than Lin Feng, who had been traveling outside!

The girl beside him was naturally Ji Xiaoyue, the mortal disciple Lin Potian had taken in the Boundary Sea Great Wilderness.

But now she was no longer a mortal; although her cultivation was not high, barely reaching the Dragon Transformation Realm, she was indeed inferior compared to Lin Feng, but if counted across the entire Heavens, she was considered to be at an upper-middle level!

After all, her starting point was too low, being a mere mortal, and the probability of wanting to reach the sky in one step was almost zero; for mortals to cultivate into Immortals had always been difficult.

Ji Xiaoyue had already furrowed her delicate brows, listening carefully to the heavenly voice, and then she nodded, joy appearing in her eyes, and she quickly responded:

"It seems... it really is Master!"

"Then what are we waiting for, Xiaoyue, let's go over and take a look too! While we're at it, we'll ask the Ancestor what happened to the Lin Family. I truly don't believe the Lin Family is just gone like this!"

Lin Feng's eyes were bloodshot; he and Ji Xiaoyue had previously returned to the Taixuan Realm, originally intending to go home for a visit, but they never expected that the Lin Family Ancestral Land had vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a massive crater with a diameter exceeding ten thousand miles!

It was as if a terrifyingly powerful expert had used a great divine ability to pull it up by the roots, soil and all, and snatched it away!

Lin Feng did not know that the Lin Family had already escaped danger and was safe, and that the crater was left behind when Ao Yin rescued the Lin Family, roots and soil together.

But Lin Feng was unaware of the situation; at the time, he had truly almost gone mad, and if not for Ji Xiaoyue constantly comforting him, he really would not have known how to go on living.

Fortunately, today, Lin Feng heard the Ancestor's voice once again!

Furthermore, an Imperial Decree had been issued, spreading to every great world, letting the entire Heavens know that today, the Lin Family was going to hold them accountable!

Yet Lin Feng felt no excitement; instead, he felt very dejected, his eye sockets red and his fists tightly clenched: "The Ancestor is already holding them accountable; has the Lin Family... really been destroyed?"

Seeing Lin Feng's expression of such pain, Ji Xiaoyue was extremely worried and hurriedly said, "We will immediately rush to the Highest Heaven to ask Master and get to the bottom of this. Don't worry..."

"Hey, hey!"

Before Ji Xiaoyue could finish speaking, Lin Feng, burning with impatience, picked Ji Xiaoyue up by the waist and rushed toward the Central Heaven at top speed!
