Chapter 836: Arriving Together

Zhang Yiren did not take Xue Bingxiao and Lin Muxi seriously at all.

Although the Joyous Union Sect had obtained a fortuitous encounter and risen to power within a mere thousand years.

Compared to long-established sects, the Joyous Union Sect lacked the most important thing: a foundation!

The Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate could easily wipe out the Joyous Union Sect by sending just a few elders, let alone having their Sect Master, Zhang Yiren, take action personally.

After blasting Xue Bingxiao and Lin Muxi away, Zhang Yiren’s gaze and the gaze of the Qilin divine beast phantom landed on Ye Lin simultaneously.

"You have a lot of courage."

"In all the years I have spent cultivating, I have yet to find a second person as brave as you."

"So I will not kill you easily; I want to pry open your skull and see exactly what is inside!"

Even now, Zhang Yiren could not understand where this guy in front of him got the courage to kill an elder of his Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate right in front of him.

Facing the enraged Zhang Yiren, Ye Lin took out the Human Emperor Flag and reached out to grip its pole.

A long-lost forbidden power began to surge within his body.

Rumble!

High above in the distant firmament, countless blood-colored vortices suddenly appeared, and incomplete fragments of laws began to burn.

At the center of those blood-colored vortices, it was as if eyes were weeping blood, staring fixedly at the earth below.

Cracks spread out in all directions, and eerie black energy surged out from the fissures; one could even faintly hear shrill, miserable screams.

Clatter!

Blood-colored rain fell from the sky, and the sun and moon shone together, appearing on the firmament at the same time.

Everything was in chaos, as if this era had reached the moment of impending destruction.

This terrifying celestial phenomenon caused Zhang Yiren’s expression to change wildly; he could clearly feel the emotions coming from the firmament!

The sky was roaring, angry, frantic... and even... afraid!

That was the Heavenly Dao, which looked down upon all cultivators from high above; how could the Heavenly Dao have feelings of fear?

"What exactly is happening? Has some forbidden-level existence been resurrected?"

Zhang Yiren did not connect this to Ye Lin, as Ye Lin was merely a small cultivator in the mid-stage of the Soaring Realm.

And Ye Lin also raised his head, looking toward the sky.

It seemed that the sky had already recognized him.

"No time to waste on you."

Zhang Yiren’s gaze toward Ye Lin was full of killing intent, and he then urged the Qilin divine beast phantom to attack Ye Lin.

After killing Ye Lin, he had to immediately go and check what exactly had happened to cause such a terrifying celestial phenomenon.

This matter was far more important than killing Ye Lin.

As the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate, Zhang Yiren could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.

Watching the Qilin phantom, Ye Lin was just about to disregard everything and strike, but at that moment, a plain white figure blocked his path.

A fair, jade-like hand, which seemed to contain a vast world, slapped directly toward the Qilin phantom.

Bang!

Energy fluctuations rolled out; the Qilin phantom was shattered, but the plain white figure also retreated several steps, unable to stop a muffled groan.

Ye Lin looked at the newcomer in astonishment, clearly not expecting the other party to appear here.

"Kid, you caused trouble and chose to sever ties just because you were afraid of bringing trouble to the sect, right? Who taught you to do that? Acting on your own! Thinking you're clever! Self-righteous!"

A familiar voice scolded, and nine figures appeared behind Ye Lin.

Master of Heart Peak, Xuan Jizi.

Master of Soul Peak, Chen Kaiyong.

Master of Artifact Peak, Mu Yuan.

Master of Spirit Peak, Situ Qi.

Master of Strength Peak, Man Yin.

Master of Fury Peak, Nie Xiong.

Martial Peak sword cultivator, Jun Chuanxiong.

Master of Momentum Peak, Zheng Tongfei.

Master of Pill Peak, Danyangzi.

The nine peak masters of the Immortal Cloud Sect had arrived together!

And the one at the very front who had just blocked the Qilin phantom was naturally the Sect Master of the Immortal Cloud Sect, Fang Xitui.

It could be said that the entire upper echelon of the Immortal Cloud Sect had come out in full force!

Ye Lin’s nose felt a bit sore, and he forcibly suppressed the restless power within his body.

As that forbidden-like power subsided, the terrifying phenomenon between heaven and earth also began to dissipate bit by bit.

"Why... did you all still come?" Ye Lin couldn't help but ask.

Clearly, when he was at the Immortal Cloud Sect, he had already broken the hearts of these old men.

"Hmph, when a junior causes trouble outside, we old men naturally have to come out to settle things," Jun Chuanxiong snorted with a cold face.

"But didn't you say before that if you meddled in my affairs, you would be my son?" Ye Lin asked.

"......"

Jun Chuanxiong was silent for a moment.

"Can you not say such buzzkill things at a time like this?"

"You made a Dao oath," Ye Lin reminded him.

"Damn you!"

Jun Chuanxiong grabbed his sword, intending to strike Ye Lin first; this kid was truly infuriating.

Ye Lin’s current mood was like someone who had already pulled out a knife, determined to have a desperate one-for-one exchange with the opponent.

But at this moment, his father figure appeared by his side, slowly patting his shoulder to comfort him.

"Things aren't that bad yet; if the sky falls, there's Dad here to hold it up."

The appearance of the nine peak masters and Fang Xitui calmed Ye Lin down, who had been prepared to give up and let everything go to ruin.

"Immortal Cloud Sect!"

Zhang Yiren also recognized Fang Xitui and the others, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"What is the meaning of this? Just because you won first place in the Eastern Profound Sect Tournament, you really think you are the number one sect in the Eastern Profound Region? You actually dare to meddle in the affairs of my Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate?"

Fang Xitui stepped forward and smiled ingratiatingly.

"Xitui would not dare. The Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate has a vast family and great business; our Immortal Cloud Sect naturally lacks the courage and ability to provoke you."

"But Ye Lin is the Holy Son of our Immortal Cloud Sect. As his elders, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and come out to resolve the trouble he has caused."

"I wonder if Sect Master Zhang could show some leniency and not hold it against a junior?"

Hearing Fang Xitui’s words, Zhang Yiren couldn't help but laugh wildly.

"Hahahaha! My Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate has lost over a dozen disciples and even an elder; you say don't hold it against him, so I shouldn't? Do you think you're worthy?"

"I am determined to kill this Ye Lin today! I am also determined to wipe out this Joyous Union Sect. If your Immortal Cloud Sect doesn't know what's good for you, I don't mind wiping out one more sect!"

"Since the Age of Dharma Decline, the Eastern Profound Region has not seen blood for too long. Those who don't know might really think my Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate is a soft persimmon that anyone can squeeze!"

Facing Zhang Yiren’s mockery, Fang Xitui’s expression remained unchanged, only continuing to offer a fawning smile.

"The Immortal Cloud Sect is naturally no match for the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate, which is why Xitui wants to discuss a feasible strategy with Sect Master Zhang. No matter how difficult the conditions, the Immortal Cloud Sect is willing to agree."

"But if Sect Master Zhang insists on acting arbitrarily, then the Immortal Cloud Sect doesn't mind burning both jade and stone together. After all, there are still a few ancestors sleeping within the Immortal Cloud Sect."

Zhang Yiren’s expression instantly became somewhat ugly.

On the surface, the strength of the Immortal Cloud Sect and the Joyous Union Sect did not differ much, but if they really fought, two Joyous Union Sects tied together would not be a match for the Immortal Cloud Sect.

The most important factor in this was the sect's foundation!

The Immortal Cloud Sect had existed for a long time; once they were pushed to the edge, they could truly dig out a few old monsters who had attained the Dao before the Age of Dharma Decline.

"Are you threatening me? Are you willing to fight my Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate to the death for the sake of a Soaring Realm disciple?" Zhang Yiren shouted angrily.

Fang Xitui hurriedly lowered his head respectfully.

"Xitui would not dare. Xitui only wishes to ask Sect Master Zhang to be calm; the dead cannot be brought back to life."

"Even if you kill Ye Lin, Elder Kuanglong and the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate cannot be resurrected. But if Ye Lin lives, the Immortal Cloud Sect might be able to compensate for the losses of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate."

"What do you think?"
