Chapter 148: Ye Lin in a Rage

"Five great clans? What is that?"

Ye Lin was a bit confused; he had never heard of this term.

"You operate near Qingcheng, so you must have heard of Mr. Student Zhuge, right?" Xie Xiaoxiao asked.

Ye Lin nodded: "I have naturally heard of Mr. Student Zhuge's great name. Without Mr. Student Zhuge, Qingcheng would probably have been destroyed by monsters long ago."

"The five great clans have a long heritage and are the five clans with the longest history in all of You Daxia. Each one has monstrous power and produces many talented people. Even the Son of Heaven of You Daxia has to give the five great clans some face."

"Mr. Student Zhuge... comes from the Student Zhuge clan, one of the five great clans. The Student Zhuge clan has the fewest people among the five great clans, but every one of them is a brilliant talent."

Listening to Xie Xiaoxiao's explanation, Ye Lin's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

This was the first time he had learned of Student Zhuge Qianxing's background. He had previously only known that Student Zhuge Qianxing was famous in the capital, and later, tired of the bustling capital, he found a small place like Qingcheng to live a pastoral life.

He hadn't expected Student Zhuge Qianxing's background to be so astonishing!

Looking at it this way, his guess was probably not far off. The one who caused trouble at Student Zhuge Qianxing's funeral must be this head of the Xie family, Xie Hong!

Thinking that the person who had been investigating and hunting him down not long ago had such a great background, Ye Lin broke out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself that he was truly lucky; if he hadn't used a fake identity, he would probably have been sliced up for research by now.

At the same time, he couldn't help but worry about Guo Qin. This guy, hadn't he already been caught?

"Hmph hmph! How about it! After knowing my identity, do you still dare to boast that you will come to find me?" Xie Xiaoxiao asked.

"Of course!" Ye Lin's gaze didn't waver in the slightest. "What about the five great clans? Are kings and nobles born with high status? What I, Ye Mushuang, have decided, I will definitely accomplish!"

Xie Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Lin deeply, as if she wanted to remember Ye Lin's appearance thoroughly in her heart.

"I'll wait for you! Remember, my name is Xie Xiaoxiao!"

Xie Xiaoxiao withdrew her gaze and walked toward the exit.

Ye Lin took a deep breath, adjusted his complex emotions, and then followed her out.

At the exit of Realm No. 79, a middle-aged man in luxurious robes stood there. His face had wrinkles, and his brows were full of majesty.

The Lord of Sucheng, Hu Weng, stood behind this middle-aged man like a servant. Seeing Xie Xiaoxiao's figure, Hu Weng breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes full of surprise.

It was fine if Xie Xiaoxiao was alive; if Xie Xiaoxiao had really died here, Hu Weng suspected that the entire Qingcheng would be washed in blood.

"Dad..."

Seeing this middle-aged man, Xie Xiaoxiao walked over with her head lowered, like a frost-bitten eggplant.

Clearly, this middle-aged man was the head of the Xie family, Xie Hong!

"Quite capable, aren't you? Shaved your head and learned to run away from home?" Xie Hong said lightly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"I know I was wrong... but look! I can deal with the Demon Clan now!"

Xie Xiaoxiao took out the pink mobile phone and pulled up the video Ye Lin had filmed for her.

In the video, Xie Xiaoxiao faced more than twenty Demon Clan members alone, killed one, and broke out gracefully.

Xie Hong took the phone expressionlessly. Xie Xiaoxiao looked at him eagerly, as if expecting her father's praise.

But the next second, Xie Hong's thick palm exerted a slight force, and the pink mobile phone was crushed into a pile of scrap metal. Xie Xiaoxiao's face turned pale instantly.

"And then?"

"What does this prove?"

"Have you ever thought that the family spent so much energy and resources to cultivate you? It's only right that you can do these things. If you couldn't do it, you would truly be a piece of trash."

"You disappoint me too much. After going back, go into the Dragon Pool Realm to reflect."

Hearing the name Dragon Pool Realm, Xie Xiaoxiao's petite body trembled violently, clearly terrified of this realm.

Xie Hong discarded the crushed phone as if throwing away a pile of trash. Xie Xiaoxiao lowered her head, tears already swirling in her eyes, but she didn't dare to refute Xie Hong in the slightest.

"Yes... daughter knows she was wrong, I will reflect well."

Xie Hong ignored Xie Xiaoxiao and his gaze fell on Ye Lin not far away. Ye Lin's heart tightened instantly; he felt as if he had been stared at by a prehistoric giant beast!

"Who is he?" Xie Hong asked in a deep voice.

"An ice-type mage with decent strength. In Realm No. 79, many Demon Clan members were killed by him." Xie Xiaoxiao replied.

"Oh? Are you very familiar with him?" Xie Hong said lightly.

"Not familiar! But we have fought side by side." Xie Xiaoxiao hurriedly defended herself. She felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat; since she was a child, this was the first time she had lied in front of her father, Xie Hong!

"Is that so? Then let's go."

Xie Hong didn't say much more and left with Xie Xiaoxiao. Hu Weng hurriedly followed respectfully.

Not until Xie Hong had walked far away did Ye Lin breathe a sigh of relief.

The pressure Xie Hong gave him was simply too strong. Except for Student Zhuge Qianxing inside the Gate of Apocalypse, Ye Lin had never felt such intense pressure, making it difficult even to breathe.

It was also thanks to Xie Xiaoxiao that he had seen the true face of this mastermind.

"The Xie family, one of the five great clans?"

Ye Lin's eyes were full of wariness. To put it bluntly, the current Xie family could crush him like an ant. Fortunately, his identity hadn't been exposed yet. If the Xie family wanted to find Ling Ye, let them find him.

Realm No. 79 was settled, and Ye Lin was also prepared to return to Qingcheng to have tea with those blacksmiths and alchemists. He had always been kind to others and didn't like holding grudges, so he didn't like having enemies living in the same world as him.

But not long after walking out, Ye Lin's footsteps suddenly stopped. As if he had felt something, he suddenly twisted his body hard in another direction.

Whoosh!

Just as Ye Lin moved, a sharp arrow pierced his shoulder. If he hadn't twisted his body, that arrow would definitely have pierced his head!

"Hmm? Didn't die?"

A puzzled voice sounded, and then a man carrying a longbow walked out of the darkness, wearing a ghost mask with a sticking-out tongue!

Ye Lin's heart tightened. This man clearly came from the same organization as those masked people who appeared at Student Zhuge Qianxing's funeral.

It seemed... Xie Hong still didn't intend to let him go!

"To be able to dodge my arrow without knowing it, you can be considered gifted. It's just a pity you shouldn't have gotten so close to the young lady. Have a better reincarnation in your next life."

The tongue-sticking masked man pulled the longbow, aimed at Ye Lin's brow, and shot another arrow!

This arrow contained terrifying power. If it hit, Ye Lin's head might explode directly.

Ye Lin was a bit angry. He was wearing a 'Phantom Face' mask. If the tongue-sticking masked man had aimed at other vital parts, he would have let the other party hit him and then pretended to be dead.

But this tongue-sticking masked man aimed at his head every time. If his head was shot through, it was a small matter, but if the Phantom Face mask was ruined, the problem would be huge.

Ye Lin captured the trajectory of this arrow as much as possible, then summoned an ice blade to slash at the arrow. The arrow was slashed by him, immediately deviating by a few points, and it happened to pierce his heart.

Bang!

The power on the arrow exploded. A bloody hole was blown through Ye Lin's heart. Ye Lin stared at the tongue-sticking masked man unreconciled, blood constantly gushing from his mouth, and then his whole body went limp, his life force constantly disappearing.

The tongue-sticking masked man walked over coldly. Seeing Ye Lin still twitching, he raised his bow and arrow again, aiming at Ye Lin's head.

"I'll give you a quick end."

Now Ye Lin couldn't pretend anymore.

"Grass! You motherfucker, you have to shoot me in the face, right?"
