Chapter 49: This firepower is excessive

The next morning, on Tiandao Peak, Lin Yang violently punched that egg.

After a surge of power, the egg remained unharmed and bounced back to his hand with a swoosh.

Get lost!

He was really going to be annoyed to death by an egg.

He fiddled with it all night, but a blade couldn't shatter it, force couldn't break it, and fire couldn't scorch it.

Moreover, he didn't even know what it was.

And it was super sticky.

Even if thrown a hundred and eight thousand miles away, it would swoosh back to his hand.

How annoying.

He threw the egg on the ground and stomped on it hard a few times.

But the egg returned to his hand again.

He looked utterly devoid of any will to live.

He's really a simp.

————————

At that moment, two graceful figures walked out of the courtyard; the morning breeze brushed past, and soft strands of hair danced on their faces.

It was quite a beautiful sight.

Master.

Li Yilan and Ye Xiaodie greeted Lin Yang in unison.

Seeing the two girls come out, Lin Yang stopped fussing with the egg and slipped it into his pants pocket.

After spending the night together, the two little ones clearly got along well.

Last night he also overheard them whispering; in front of their master they addressed each other as senior and junior sisters, but when the master wasn't around, they called each other older and younger sister.

Such a relationship was actually quite good.

He immediately said, 'Since you're awake, then as I instructed last night, Xiaodie, stay on the peak to guard the home.'

"Li Yatou, we'll head to Qingyun Square right away to meet up, then we'll march on the Xiao Family."

Yes!

Li Yilan's eyes suddenly turned stern as she silently vowed, 'Xiao Family, you destroyed my clan, killed my parents, locked me in a dog cage, took my bloodline—today I will make you pay.'

Ye Xiaodie also nodded and said, 'Master, Senior Sister, you must be extremely careful on this trip; I'll wait for you on Tiandao Peak.'

Last night she heard her senior sister's ordeal at the Xiao Family, cried all night, and though her cultivation was insufficient to help, she could only send her blessings.

The two nodded, then turned into a stream of light and headed toward Qingyun Sect Plaza.

————————

When they landed on the square, they were stunned by what lay before them.

"Master, are these all the people who went with us to the Xiao Family?"

Li Yilan glanced in surprise; the twenty elders standing in the front row were exactly those she had seen at the Elder Council, venerable and respected.

However, at this moment they stood in two neat rows on the square, upright and dignified, full of righteous bearing.

Lin Yang also glanced over; there were over two hundred people, and he approached the Grand Elder at the front.

"How can there be so many people?"

The Grand Elder smiled narrowly and said, 'Since we're going to exterminate the clan, we naturally need sufficient firepower.'

"This time, I've summoned everyone from the sect who is at Minor Saint Realm or above."

"Oh dear..."

"Nonsense!"

The Grand Elder pointed at the disciples behind the troops and shouted, 'Those over a hundred people at the rear were eliminated yesterday; why are you still lining up at the back? Go somewhere cool to stay.'

"Grand Elder, the rise and fall of the sect is everyone's duty; let's slack off a bit," the disciples at the rear obstinately replied.

"All of you, get lost!"

The Grand Elder sternly dispersed a few people, then chuckled and said to Lin Yang, 'Take this Qingyun Bell.'

"Thanks, Grand Elder!" Lin Yang bluntly accepted the Qingyun Bell.

It was a fist-sized bell engraved with runic symbols, small yet indeed an imperial artifact, a treasure of the Qingyun Great Emperor.

It is also specifically used to deal with spiritual entities.

If used against the Medicine Elder behind Xiao Huo, it would surely hit the mark every time.

After seeing Lin Yang accept it, the Grand Elder continued smiling and said, 'The sect still has some miscellaneous affairs, so I won't join you. However, I've equipped you with twenty Minor Saint–ranked elders; I wish you victory and a swift return.'

Twenty Minor Saint Realm cultivators already constitute over two-thirds of Qingyun Sect's fighting force; if they all went, wouldn't the sect be left empty?

Moreover, using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken for the Xiao Family?

"Grand Elder, I really don't need that many people; I'll just casually bring three or five," Lin Yang said with a bitter expression, 'This lineup would surely scare the Xiao Family to death.'

"That won't do; I still think these twenty Minor Saint Realm elders lack sufficient firepower, so I've outfitted them with all the magical equipment I can provide."

"The firepower lever."

"Furthermore, take a look at that person," the Grand Elder pointed to the side.

Lin Yang followed his gaze and saw an old man in plain clothes, looking very aged, carrying a sword, his expression as calm as an ancient well.

The Grand Elder threw a flirtatious glance, nudged Lin Yang with his elbow, and said, 'Our sect has only three elders; I've summoned one for you—a Late-Stage Great Saint who will obey your commands. Now the firepower should be enough, right?'

Lin Yang gave a wry smile, 'This lineup would surely uproot the Xiao Family completely.'

At that moment, the sword-carrying old man approached Lin Yang, glanced at him, and said coolly, 'I'll handle those above the three-sword level; you deal with those below it.'

Afterward, the old man concealed his aura and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The Grand Elder came over: "He's a senior expert, his temper is just like that; you don't need to take it to heart."

"Alright, it's about time; you all set off quickly, go early and return early."

Seeing the Grand Elder so insistent, Lin Yang didn't refuse any further.

"In that case, please trouble all the Elders to accompany me; let's display the might of Qingyun Sect."

"Yes!"

"Good!"

"Alright!"

The crowd sharpened their knives, responding with fervent excitement.

Li Yilan also bowed to everyone on her own accord and said:

"Disciple Li Yilan, thank you, Elders, for your joint support."

She knew these Elders were going with her to avenge the Xiao family, and she would naturally keep this favor in mind.

Immediately.

Lin Yang took Li Yilan and turned into a streak of light as they departed.

Behind them, the Elders also did not lag behind at all.

Buzz—

Their eyes flashed with sharp light, they stomped their feet hard on the ground, their bodies shot out like arrows leaving the bow, their sleeves seeming to be caught by a fierce wind like dark clouds, turning into flowing mist as they vanished.

The disciples on the ground first stared blankly, then widened their eyes as dust and sand swirled on the square; many disciples instinctively raised their hands to block.

After everyone left, they looked at each other, then began to whisper among themselves.

They exclaimed in astonishment: "When Qingyun Sect moves out, not a blade of grass grows."

Within Qingzhou.

Qingyun Sect's such abnormal behavior naturally caused the various major sects to become tense.

That sky-covering aura could devour a whole sect at that time; moreover, Qingyun Sect had just destroyed the Blood Demon Sect not long ago.

Thus, everyone in Qingzhou began to feel alarmed and worried.

Rumor after rumor also appeared.

"Oh no, someone's been killed—Qingyun Sect killed someone!"

"Oh no, a fire's been set—Qingyun Sect set a fire!"

"Oh no, things are being looted—Qingyun Sect is going to loot things!"

"Oh no, a family is about to have no grass grow?"

Thus, amidst all the discussion, Lin Yang and his gang of maniacs were extremely overbearing; even a mosquito blocking the way would be sliced by a great sword cultivator.

Fortunately, they finally arrived at the Xiao family.

And at this moment.

By Lin Yang's ear, a system notification suddenly sounded.

【Ding dong…】
