Chapter 130: Cunning Lin Yang, Crisis Descends

Lin Yang stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm as lake water.

"Yes, it is the Chaos Sacred Body; I helped him awaken it."

Jiang Tamu's eyes widened like copper bells, and he stared fixedly at the chaos light emanating from Zhou Tianming's body.

"This is the Chaos Sacred Body, after all; this thing, legend says, can disturb heaven and earth and master the origin of the world—once awakened, the cultivation path becomes smooth sailing, and all sorts of divine powers and spells come easily."

Lin Yang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it is the Chaos Sacred Body; I helped him awaken it."

Jiang Tamu's face was full of envy and amazement; he repeatedly sighed, "Zhou Tianming, this kid, at such a young age actually has such an opportunity—later on the Xuanhuang Continent, he will surely have his own place under heaven."

Lin Yang nodded again, a hint of relief in his eyes, and said, "Yes, the Chaos Sacred Body on him—I helped him awaken it."

Jiang Tamu opened his mouth, about to say something.

But then he suddenly noticed.

This Lin Yang seemed to have repeated the same sentence three times.

He deliberately didn't speak further, just stared at Lin Yang.

Lin Yang wore a smile and continued to speak to himself.

"Yes, the Chaos Sacred Body on him is exactly what I helped him awaken."

Upon hearing that.

Jiang Tamu's face turned ashen; he realized that Lin Yang had been asserting his claim, telling him that Zhou Tianming's Chaos Sacred Body was awakened by his help, and that if he wanted to take him as a disciple, there was no chance.

Damn it.

He gritted his teeth and stared fixedly at Lin Yang, that sly young fox.

However.

Lin Yang paid no heed, opened his mouth, preparing to repeat what he had just said.

"All right." Jiang Tamu irritably interrupted Lin Yang's words, and, seeming to guess what Lin Yang wanted to say, he said, "I know it's the Chaos Sacred Body—the Chaos Sacred Body you helped him awaken."

"Then that's good."

Lin Yang readily agreed, his face serious, no longer the unserious demeanor from before; now he conveyed that since you've already acknowledged it and I've heard it, the matter of Zhou Tianming being my disciple is settled.

Seeing that.

The veins on Jiang Tamu's face kept twitching; he knew he had been schemed against again by this brat.

He expressed his strong disapproval, staring fixedly at Lin Yang, his gaze seeming to want to see through him.

"You brat, did you also feed Zhou Tianming Chaos Dark Void Worms to force him into accepting you as his master?"

"I have always acted uprightly; I don't have your petty scheming." Lin Yang responded solemnly.

Upon hearing that.

Jiang Tamu choked a little, unable to retort, merely rolling his eyes.

His gaze then turned to Zhou Tianming, who was emitting chaos light and at the crucial stage of awakening, and a greedy thought arose in his heart.

"Such a talented disciple—I must take him as my student."

He curled his lip, full of confidence, and said bluntly to Lin Yang, "I think you just gave him a love potion; once he fully awakens, I will surely let him personally choose which master to follow."

"I, Old Jiang, have been rolling around in the Xuanhuang Continent for years; in terms of seniority, how can you, a greenhorn, compare with me?"

"What I've seen and experienced—just pick any one of them, and it's enough material to teach this child."

Saying that.

He proudly patted his chest, took out a few glowing manuals from his storage bag, waved them in front of Lin Yang, and boasted, "See? These are all top-tier techniques I've collected over the years; any one of them can help him avoid detours and quickly increase his strength."

As for that.

Lin Yang merely smiled; he sometimes really didn't want to discourage this old man.

Moreover.

With his junk, how could Zhou Tianming, who was a Great Emperor in his past life, possibly take a liking to these things?

However.

The old man was completely unaware that Lin Yang had already begun to despise him.

He continued, "This isn't even the end; I also have plenty of treasures."

Having said that.

He flipped his wrist, and several treasures suffused with spiritual energy appeared in his palm, radiant light shining forth—obviously not ordinary items.

Lin Yang's mouth twitched.

And the more Jiang Tamu spoke, the more excited he got, his proud expression nearly soaring to the heavens; he said, "Look, the corners of your mouth are sucking in cold air—aren't you scared?"

Actually, Lin Yang just wanted to vomit.

"Besides, I have wide connections; I know many powerful masters like clouds, and if I introduce him, all sorts of opportunities will surely come pouring in."

"I don't believe that, with all these advantages laid out before him, he would still wholeheartedly follow you; he will surely abandon you and choose me."

Jiang Tamu spoke with great confidence.

Lin Yang's mouth curled into a barely perceptible arc, as if mocking or sneering, yet he said nothing.

…………

Just then, several streaks of light came flying from the horizon.

These people were precisely the Grand Elder of the Qingyun Sect and the other elders.

After landing, they went straight to Li Yilan and Ye Xiaozi; the leading Grand Elder, his eyes anxious, asked, "Miss Li, Miss Ye, who is that youth at the cliff? How did he cause such a heavenly phenomenon?"

Li Yilan stepped forward gracefully, bowed, and replied crisply, "Grand Elder, that is the disciple newly accepted by my master, Zhou Tianming."

Upon hearing that, everyone looked at each other, their faces full of shock.

"Not long ago, Li Yilan used myriad miles of spiritual power to establish her foundation, already causing a sensation in the sect."

"Not long after, Ye Xiaozi, during her talent test, her talent energy directly shattered the Spirit Testing Pillar, fully displaying her extraordinary aptitude."

Now, how long has it been? Lin Yang has just recruited another extraordinary disciple.

This newly arrived boy actually caused such a heaven‑shaking, earth‑shaking commotion; look, that chaotic light envelops the four directions, as if possessing the power to lord over heaven and earth.

It seems this boy's talent and ability are no less than Li Yatou's and Ye Yatou's.

You say, how is this Peak Master Lin so formidable?

His disciples are each more terrifying than the last; truly strange and marvelous.

And the six peak masters were also present at the scene.

Seeing Lin Yang's recruited disciples, each one blossoming like flowers, while the disciples they recruited—can those even be called disciples?

Really, comparing people to people just makes one furious.

After learning the truth, these elders and peak masters simply began to discuss, each speaking in turn.

…………

Meanwhile, at another corner of Heavenly Dao Peak...

Jiang Taomu saw that Lin Yang no longer paid him any heed.

He secretly rejoiced in his heart.

One would think that after he produced his hidden treasure and technique...

This Lin Yang kid must feel inferior.

One can't blame him for being ruthless, after all his family background is so wealthy that he really can't stay low‑key.

All one can say is that Lin Yang really shouldn't have competed with him for disciples.

Instead,

He looked toward Zhou Tianming; at this moment, all of Zhou Tianming's surrounding chaotic aura was about to be completely devoured.

This also foretells that Zhou Tianming's Chaotic Holy Body awakening is about to be completely finished.

He smiled and said, "It should be ending soon; let's go take a look."

However.

Lin Yang, however, did not act; instead, he furrowed his brows tightly.

As if some major event were about to happen.

Just at that moment.

The winds and clouds suddenly changed!

A black cloud descended from the nine heavens, and Zhou Tianming, who was at the end of awakening his Chaotic Holy Body, was suddenly enveloped by this great mass of black cloud.

His body suddenly trembled violently.

With a "wah" sound.

He spat out large mouthfuls of blood................
