Chapter 399: Scolded

Boom!

Two level-82 Forbidden Spellcasters self-destructed simultaneously, forming an orange-red beam of light that shot straight into the sky!

Even the clouds in the sky were torn apart by this terrifying explosion, scattering in all directions.

If not for the four Walls of Sighs blocking it, an area of a hundred miles would likely have been razed to the ground.

Rubble splattered everywhere, and smoke and dust filled the air.

After the shockwaves of the explosion dissipated, a massive circular crater appeared on the ground.

Ye Yushan, charred all over, lay in the very center of the crater; fresh blood gushed from his mouth with every cough, clearly having completely lost the ability to resist.

If no one said anything, no one would guess that this disheveled person before them was the renowned Tyrant of Green Thunder!

The people from the other major clans all looked at Ye Lin with immense wariness, and there was even a hint of relief in their eyes.

To be able to severely injure a Bright Moon Realm powerhouse while only in his early twenties.

It is fortunate that such a monster is in an adversarial relationship with the Ye family.

If this Ye Lin were a member of the Ye family, the reputation of the "Leaves Covering the Sky" would likely suffocate everyone.

By then, it would no longer be the five major clans, but the Ye family and its four hanger-on lackeys.

"Uncle, it's time to go. Ye Nange and the others miss you very much in the underworld."

A golden spear shot straight toward the heavily wounded Ye Yushan; Ye Lin intended to send this third uncle on his way with his own hands!

Just then, a black shadow flashed by and dragged Ye Yushan away; the golden spear pierced straight through the ground and vanished.

"Third brother, are you alright? Pull yourself together!"

The expression of the Dead Water Yin Lord, Ye Yuyang, was incredibly grim, and violent killing intent surged incessantly in his eyes.

He had not expected that in a one-on-one duel, Ye Yushan would actually lose to Ye Lin, and lose so miserably!

"Second uncle, you've come too? That's great, buy one get one free!"

Ye Lin gave a look to Zhuge Ni beside him; Ye Yuyang's strength was above that of Ye Yushan.

To ensure this old fellow could not escape, only by having Zhuge Ni strike together could they be foolproof.

"Rest assured, you absolutely won't get away today!"

Ye Yuyang's expression was icy.

"I ask the Fifth Elder to strike and capture this traitor of the Ye family!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present felt an incredibly scorching aura, and an old man in purple robes stepped forward.

His hair and beard were all white, and his face was covered in wrinkles, yet his eyes were as dazzling as the blazing sun!

Ye Lin's expression changed abruptly; he had not expected the Ye family's Blazing Sun Realm expert to arrive so quickly!

"Your mother stole the Ye family's ancestral origin artifact, causing the Ye family to lose it for twenty years. You beat your own uncle into a severe injury and even attempted to kill him. Truly, like mother, like son. You cannot be left alive; surrender now."

The Fifth Elder's voice was not loud, yet it was filled with a majesty that one dared not resist.

"Forbidden Spell: One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!"

"Forbidden Spell: Dance of the Instant!"

"Good cousin, run!"

Ye Lin left three clones in place, picked up Zhuge Ni, and made a run for it.

Between the Sun, Moon, and Star realms, the gap in strength between each level is a world of difference. Although his strength had greatly increased, he was not arrogant enough to think he could deal with the Blazing Sun Realm.

"Put me down, I can replicate your speed! I won't run any slower than you!" Zhuge Ni's face flushed slightly.

"No time! That old geezer is in the Blazing Sun Realm, and once the Zhuge family reacts, you won't be able to leave either!" Ye Lin said.

"Then can you stop touching my thigh?"

"It was just convenient. Did you say thank you?"

Seeing Ye Lin turn and run, the Ye family's Fifth Elder let out a cold snort.

"Want to run? Not that easy!"

The Fifth Elder's gaze narrowed, and a lifelike purple giant dragon condensed before him, with even the dragon scales on its body clearly visible.

"Go!"

The purple giant dragon carried a world-destroying momentum and charged straight at Ye Lin.

In the Fifth Elder's eyes, it was impossible for Ye Lin to escape his grasp.

But just then, one of the clones suddenly rushed over and raised its hand.

"Forbidden Spell: Wall of Sighs!"

A black stone wall rose from the ground; the purple giant dragon did not dodge or evade, crashing head-on into the black stone wall, intending to destroy it directly.

But an unexpected scene occurred: after the purple giant dragon slammed into the black stone wall, everyone had expected the wall to be smashed into rubble.

Yet the result was that the purple giant dragon was shaken to the point of dissipating on the spot, not even leaving a mark on the black stone wall!

"This is impossible!"

The Fifth Elder's eyes were filled with shock; his full-force strike as a level-97 Blazing Sun Realm powerhouse hadn't even caused a ripple?

But there was no time to think; the Fifth Elder no longer maintained his lofty demeanor and charged out directly, like the scorching sun crossing the sky.

The other two clones summoned Walls of Sighs to block, but the Fifth Elder had already detected the flaws in the walls; he bypassed them, killed all three clones, and then crossed space, heading straight for Ye Lin's true body!

Feeling the suffocating pressure of the Blazing Sun Realm behind him, Ye Lin's expression was grave.

The speed of a Blazing Sun Realm powerhouse was too fast; if this continued, it was only a matter of time before he and Zhuge Ni were caught.

Just then, a large hand grabbed Ye Lin and pulled him to the side.

Ye Lin and Zhuge Ni vanished from the spot immediately.

When the aggressive Fifth Elder chased over, there was no longer any sign of Ye Lin and Zhuge Ni.

"The aura has vanished? How is this possible!"

Sharp light flickered in the Fifth Elder's eyes; as a Blazing Sun Realm expert, how could he have lost them?

"Issue the 'Leaves Covering the Sky' kill order! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground across the entire Great Xia, find that brat for me!"

The Fifth Elder immediately issued the order.

Clearly, Ye Lin's performance today had completely awakened the prehistoric beast that was the Ye family!

What Ye Lin would face next would inevitably be the Ye family's overwhelming pursuit!

On the other side, Ye Lin and Zhuge Ni finally saw who had pulled them away.

This person wore silver-white armor, carried an ancient battle saber on his back, and had a very ordinary, scruffy appearance, yet he gave Ye Lin an extremely dangerous feeling.

Ye Lin had a premonition that the Fifth Elder from earlier probably wouldn't last ten moves in front of this guy.

"Many thanks to the senior for saving us. May I ask who the senior is?" Ye Lin said with a fawning smile.

"Dongfang Su," the man said coldly.

"Oh~ so it is Senior Dongfang Su! I have truly long admired your name; it is like thunder to my ears. Hearing of you a hundred times is not as good as seeing you once!"

Although he had never heard the name before, it did not stop Ye Lin from starting to flatter him.

Praising others is a virtue; Ye Lin had always kept this in mind.

"Say less of this empty, hollow talk, or I can't guarantee whether I'll be able to resist giving you, this animal, a slash."

Dongfang Su looked coldly at Ye Lin, a gaze that made Ye Lin feel a chill throughout his body.

Dongfang Su had seen everything Ye Lin did at the exit of the Heaven Refining Secret Realm clearly through the Eight-Foot Bronze Mirror.

Slaughtering the innocent—in Dongfang Su's view, such a person was a demonic heretic.

If it weren't for the Human Emperor specifically asking to see Ye Lin, he would have already cut this animal down with a single slash.

Ye Lin felt aggrieved; who insults someone as an animal upon their first meeting? Are you polite?

Aggrieved as he was, Ye Lin obediently shut his mouth.

From Dongfang Su's eyes and tone, Ye Lin knew clearly that this guy wasn't joking; if he kept blabbering, this guy would really cut him down.
