Chapter 74: The Lin Clan Princess Was Taken Down

In Profound Yang Sect, no one is unaware of the name of Eldest Senior Sister Lin Xue. She is a legendary figure of an era; as a disciple, in the records of Leize Secret Realm, she surpassed many elders. At the Foundation Establishment stage, she cleared eight passes in succession. At a ruin site, to cover the retreat of the sect's disciples, Lin Xue held the rear alone; at Spirit Transformation First Layer she single-handedly resisted three Spirit Transformation Second Layer enemies, without losing ground in the slightest. She possesses a sense of responsibility and courage, extraordinary talent, and peerless beauty; almost all male disciples of Profound Yang Sect regard her as a fairy in their dreams. Lin Yu had once seen Lin Xue at a disciple gathering; now she is so excited her delicate body trembles. "Eldest Senior Sister…… I, I am here." She can hardly control her words. Such a heavenly pride, and also a personally transmitted disciple of the sect leader—if there were no important matter, how would she come to find her?

"Qin Yu…… the humiliation of being shut out back then, I will surely repay it in the future!" Lin Yu muttered to herself. She had always borne a grudge; when Qin Yu was cultivating in the wooden hut, she had come to his door to take all his spirit stones, only to be turned away. At that time, Qin Yu was merely a foolish person; now, although he has risen in the world, he is still just an inner disciple—how could he be compared with Eldest Senior Sister? Many outer disciples in the scene showed envy. "I never expected that Lin Yu would have such fortune, having once missed Qin Yu, and now Eldest Senior Sister personally comes to seek her." "It must be something important; if there were ill intent, a casual word would have tens of thousands of disciples willing to act for Eldest Senior Sister." If one wanted to harm Lin Yu, there are plenty who would act—no need for Eldest Senior Sister to make a special trip; it would be pure waste of time.

Lin Xue lightly opened her vermilion lips, and a pleasant sound rang out: "Come with me for a trip." Lin Yu, unable to control her excitement, hurried into the flying boat and waited silently. At this moment, Lin Xue noticed the plain-clothed man beside her, and stared in surprise. "Uncle Lin Wu Ren? Aren't you in closed-door training, preparing to assault the Venerable Realm? Why are you here?" The sect has long rumored that Lin Wu Ren was in seclusion at a blessed spot, and even the Lin family internally knew this. The Lin Clan of Canglan Yu once was extremely powerful, with several Heavenly Origin cultivators holding the fort, serving as top external support for Profound Yang Sect. The Lin Clan of Canglan Yu is said to originate from an extremely ancient lineage; only, back then they chose the wrong side and suffered a catastrophic extermination. Lin Xue's father is none other than Lin Wu Ren's younger brother. Lin Wu Ren initially fell into a deadly dead end, went qi deviation, and finally the sect leader led a team to intervene, saving the remaining Lin Clan disciples, including Lin Xue. The plain-clothed man's face showed a bitter smile; he was eventually discovered and said lightly: "Here, I can experience the vicissitudes of the mortal world and calm my inner turmoil. Since you have found me, let's leave together—I am also preparing for a breakthrough, to fulfill a wish." He originally wanted to temper his Dao heart and do something for the sect; he had stayed here for years, yet never expected to be discovered by his martial niece. Such is fate. But in his view, the timing is also ripe. Profound Yang Sect should also produce a new Venerable; otherwise it cannot suppress the troublemakers of all quarters.

"Damn! The legendary Lin Wu Ren, the most monstrous existence in Profound Yang Sect for thousands of years, and now the pinnacle of martial arts, a Grand Master who overcomes the Venerable Realm?" "He actually gave us lectures for three full years—I can hardly believe it; what kind of treatment is this that even many inner disciples and true transmission disciples don't get?" "Having this treatment…… we damn well most of us haven't even entered the outer door, it's embarrassing to talk to outsiders." An outer disciple covered his face and wept; this is too humiliating—Profound Yang Sect's strongest Heavenly Origin cultivator personally gives lectures, yet they often don't pay attention. Off and on for three years, they've still only reached the second and third layers of Body Tempering. If this got out, people would want to die, being scolded as trash for a hundred years. But now, Lin Wu Ren has arrived on the flying boat, looking toward Lin Xue, and said: "What do you want this person for?" "Grant her death." Lin Xue smiled enchantingly, as if making the whole heaven and earth dim. Lin Wu Ren heard this and blinked slightly. "Just an outer disciple—why would he provoke my niece?" Know that my niece is uncompetitive, unquarreling, neither happy nor angry, like an ice‑snow celestial maiden. The two have basically no interaction. But he said nothing, waited silently, because Lin Xue surely has her own plan. Besides, this Lin Yu is no good thing; among outer disciples she has done many wicked deeds, injuring many disciples, even causing some to have their cultivation ruined. Yet Lin Wu Ren never bothered. Everyone has their own karma; once on the stage, it's a duel, life and death are one's own choice. Just like Qin Yu earlier—because of Lin Yu's humiliation he opened his martial apertures, now he's doing well in the inner door, perhaps he will even become a true transmission disciple of Profound Yang Sect in the future. Of course, when he encounters Qin Yu and the like, Lin Wu Ren will still lend a hand.

Lin Yu paused slightly, her clear‑pretty face showing shock; she hurriedly knelt and spoke in a trembling voice: "Senior…… Eldest Senior Sister, I don't know what I did wrong." Lin Xue lifted her eyelids a little, her beautiful eyes like ice, and calmly said: "I have investigated what you have done in the outer door, causing many outer disciples to vie for your favor, even having people collect spirit stones for you. These…… are nothing. But you should not have set your sights on Qin Yu in the first place." Even if I did not act, after a while the sect leader would send people to clean up these loose ends. After all, if one day Qin Yu patrols the sect and finds an acquaintance—still someone who once bullied him—his status would prevent him from acting, lest he be called petty. So the sect leader will also find a way to settle these matters; however…… Lin Xue believes that, having chosen to assist Little Martial Uncle, she ought to fulfill some responsibility.

Lin Yu was dazed, utterly bewildered. Qin Yu…… how could he have become involved with Eldest Senior Sister? He has only just entered the inner door—how long has it been? This is the legendary celestial immortal of the whole Profound Yang Sect, yet it seems he is speaking up for Qin Yu? Before she could think further, the maid beside her turned the slender short sword in her hand into a cold gleam and flashed it. Behind Lin Yu, bright red blood flowed out; she lost all vitality on the spot.

However, at that very moment, Lin Wu Ren also stared in shock. "Qin Yu?" "You mean the Qin Yu who, just a few days ago, went from outer disciple to inner door, won first place in the outer door grand competition, and entered the inner door?" Lin Wu Ren felt a bit uneasy; a few days ago he had casually planted a seed—could it have been stolen from the Lin family's rear garden? One must know that Lin Xue is the princess of the entire Lin Clan and Profound Yang Sect, with an extremely high atavistic bloodline, extraordinary talent, a bright martial future, and even capable of leading the Lin Clan should he fail his breakthrough. Only Lin Xue could bring the Lin Clan back to the ancestral land, to recognize ancestors and return to the clan—this has always been the goal of their Lin family. And now, that brat who was merely an outer disciple a few days ago has taken her down? Lin Wu Ren's anger surged upward, bubbling up! This brat is utterly lacking in virtue, isn't he?
