Chapter 231: I am the Leaf that Covers the Sky! Ye Mushuang!

After putting on the disguise mask, Ye Lin sped along.

He soon caught up to Wen Tianyan and Zhuge Ni; after all, with the two of them carrying six severely injured people, they naturally could not move fast.

The moment Ye Lin approached, Wen Tianyan sensed his arrival and abruptly turned her head to stare into the white mist.

"Who goes there?"

"Someone here to take your life!"

Without a word, Ye Lin launched into a smooth, small combo.

"Ice Ball Technique!"

"Ice Blade Technique!"

"Ice Spike Technique!"

"Snow Saber Technique!"

To avoid having his identity as a Forbidden Spellcaster recognized, Ye Lin used only the most plain and unadorned common skills.

Under the effect of Ultimate Sublimation, these common skills all bloomed with the power of forbidden spells.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted; the bone-chilling cold made people shiver, and even the thick mist was frozen into ice crystals that fell to the ground.

The terrifying power of ice raged in Ye Lin's hands like a violent storm, coalescing into one ice spear, two massive ice blades, and one giant ice ball like a meteorite.

These four attacks then struck directly toward Wen Tianyan and the others at an astonishing speed, shattering the poisonous mist along the way.

"Sword Shield Defense!"

Wen Tianyan summoned her broadsword again and thrust it hard into the ground in front of her; a translucent energy shield enveloped her and the Zhuge Ni group behind her.

The sharp ice blades slashed fiercely against the energy shield, emitting a harsh, grating sound, followed immediately by the ice spear and ice ball, which slammed heavily into the shield.

Subjected to one blow after another, the seemingly indestructible energy shield became covered in dense cracks.

Wen Tianyan's expression changed drastically, and she then threatened sharply.

"With such strength, you are definitely no mere nobody in the Capital! Who exactly are you? To dare lay a hand on the teachers and students of my Supreme Academy, are you truly tired of living?"

"I am the Leaf that Covers the Sky! Ye Mushuang!"

Ye Lin spoke in a deep voice, his tone resonant and loud, rolling out like thunder toward the distance as if he were afraid others wouldn't hear him; after all, the death of one teacher and six students from the Supreme Academy was no small matter, and he had to find someone to take the blame.

Given that Zhuge Qianxing had severed ties with the Zhuge family and the Xie family was wantonly killing people in Qingcheng, Ye Lin subconsciously felt that none of the five great families were good, so it was only fitting for the Ye family to take the fall.

Ye Lin's shout pierced through the white mist and traveled far away; although there were few people in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm, they were not entirely absent, and many heard this voice.

"The Leaf that Covers the Sky? The Leaf that Covers the Sky, rumored to cover the sky of Great Xia with a single leaf? They actually sent someone to the Dragon Pool Secret Realm too?"

"Ye Mushuang? I've never heard that name; could it be some newly risen young talent of the Ye family?"

"Hasn't the Ye family been in seclusion for years? Why would they suddenly appear? Could it be that a fortuitous encounter has emerged in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm?"

The crowd discussed it heatedly, but none had an accurate answer.

At this moment, in the deepest part of the Dragon Pool Secret Realm, a young girl with bare jade feet sat quietly beside a deep pool, her skin like mutton-fat jade reflecting the brilliance of the pool water.

Her short black hair was draped loose, swaying gently with the ripples of the pool, as if she had merged with this world, tranquil and mysterious.

The moment the voice arrived, the girl suddenly raised her head, her delicate little face filled with surprise!

"The Leaf that Covers the Sky?!"

Wen Tianyan's pupils constricted sharply, her eyes filled with shock; if it were someone from the Ye family, then having such strength was not surprising.

"The Ye family has no past grievances or recent grudges with my Supreme Academy; why would you attack us?" Wen Tianyan demanded.

"Because your heart harbors distracting thoughts!"

Ye Lin did not waste any more breath on this old hag; this was his first time facing an opponent as high as level 76, so he could not be careless.

The fact that he had just cast four forbidden spells without causing this old hag the slightest injury was enough to show that her strength was not to be underestimated.

"Extreme Cold Ice Body!"

Ye Lin directly activated Professor Shen's latest research; in an instant, his body temperature dropped at an incredibly exaggerated rate, yet his mind became increasingly clear. Many things he couldn't figure out before now had answers, while at the same time, more questions extended in his mind.

If humans are dominated by desire, can they still be considered truly alive?

Do humans live merely to satisfy their own desires?

Without desire, does human existence still have meaning?

What is the meaning of human existence? What exactly is the truth of the universe?

Ye Lin forced himself not to ponder these complex things; he could only be certain of one thing: he was now terrifyingly calm!

Ye Lin raised his hand and fired several more ice-type skills; one after another, the skills were thrown out by Ye Lin like bullets from a Gatling gun.

In an instant, everything around was covered in ice and snow; it even began to snow heavily in the sky, and the Dragon Pool Secret Realm, originally filled with poisonous miasma, instantly became bone-chillingly cold.

Wen Tianyan's pupils constricted, her face showing terror.

Why was this person's casting speed so fast, and why was every single one an instant cast? Did this guy not consume mana or have skill cooldowns when casting?

But there was no time for Wen Tianyan to ponder; she grabbed the broadsword in her hand and swung it, attempting to block the overwhelming ice-type forbidden spell attacks, but the power of these ice-type forbidden spells clearly exceeded her imagination, and soon she was completely submerged in ice and snow.

Taking advantage of Wen Tianyan being submerged in ice and snow, Ye Lin flashed to Zhuge Ni's side, and amidst her terrified gaze, he first punched her in the lower abdomen.

Zhuge Ni instantly doubled over, eyes wide, her face full of pain; then Ye Lin gripped her neck and threw her directly into the distance.

Zhuge Ni flew off like a kite with a broken string, tracing a graceful parabola as she flew far away.

Not to mention that Zhuge Qianxing had done him a favor, he would feel guilty if he killed Zhuge Ni; who knew if someone like Zhuge Qianxing had left her with some life-saving means?

Rather than having Zhuge Ni here getting in the way, it was better to just throw her far away so she wouldn't be a nuisance.

After all, with Zhuge Ni present, many of his methods were inconvenient to use.

After tossing Zhuge Ni into a remote corner, Ye Lin stopped holding back and directly activated Burning Reincarnation!

With his equipment configuration of a full legendary set, plus the doubled boost from Burning Reincarnation, Ye Lin's three-dimensional attributes instantly reached an incredibly exaggerated level!

Wen Tianyan had just poked her head out from the ice and snow when she saw Ye Lin, who was burning with blood-colored flames and looked like a deity.

"Is this a forbidden spell that burns life force to increase strength? Are you crazy?" Wen Tianyan screamed shrilly.

She did not understand why, having never met this person from the Ye family before, he would go as far as burning his life force just to kill her.

Ye Lin raised his hand, the Imperial Gold Spear appeared in his grip, and he thrust it fiercely toward Wen Tianyan.

This time, facing Ye Lin—whose three-dimensional attributes had doubled and who was using a divine artifact—Wen Tianyan's pride-and-joy defensive power no longer played any role; the Imperial Gold Spear instantly pierced through her body, pinning her to the ground.

"Pfft!"

Wen Tianyan opened her mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, which instantly froze into blood crystals.

Realizing that Ye Lin truly intended to kill her, her face was instantly filled with fear.

"You dare kill me! The Supreme Academy will never let you go! Killing me is equivalent to declaring war on the Supreme Academy; even if you are from the Ye family, you cannot bear the consequences!"
