Chapter 6: Rewards Credited

Xiao Potian, standing nearby, heard Lin Yang's words and his expression suddenly froze.

Then he looked at Luo Wuqing.

Buzz!

Luo Wuqing instantly brandished a rainbow‑light longsword, and without a word he rushed to kill them.

"No, what is it?"

Xiao Potian felt his vision go black and his head buzz.

Wasn't that letter the threatening note written by his son Xiao Huowen in a flirtatious style?

How could Lin Yang, upon seeing it, suddenly order Luo Wuqing to slay them?

Exactly where did something go wrong?

The family head felt bitter inside.

The other Azure Cloud Sect disciples were also filled with bewildered confusion.

This was truly sudden—no one expected that Lin Yang, after merely glancing at the letter's content, would suddenly order Sect Master Luo to kill Xiao Potian and the others.

What, exactly, did the letter mention?

Moreover, Sect Master Luo acted rashly—without clarifying the circumstances, he struck as soon as he heard Lin Yang's words.

Li Yilan's heart softened.

Is my master really this protective of his disciples?

It's too moving.

Having come to this point, Xiao Potian dared not think further; he hurriedly ordered the two beside him.

"Resist with all our strength."

He and the two Xiao family members beside him hastily brought out their treasures to resist.

But it was like trying to extinguish a fire with a cup of water.

Boom!

A strike from Luo Wuqing in the Great Saint Realm—how could they possibly block it?

Bang!

The two Xiao family members were instantly flung backward.

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

Severely injured, they collapsed limp on the ground.

Xiao Potian likewise felt intense pain radiating from his five viscera and six bowels.

Whoa!

In the end, it was still impossible to suppress.

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

He then looked at his full-body armor.

It was shattered to pieces.

Had it not been for the armor protecting them, they would likely have been cleaved in two by a single sword.

"Sect Master Luo, do you really intend to heed the words of a Nascent Soul Realm waste and wipe us out?"

He couldn't fathom how Lin Yang, just like Luo Wuqing, would attack him at the slightest touch.

Luo Wuqing would attack them like a madman, completely disregarding the status and position of the Xiao family head.

"Cut the nonsense—hand over your lives."

Luo Wuqing's eyes turned cold, a flash of killing intent crossed his gaze, and he again rushed to kill Xiao Potian and the two Xiao family members.

Seeing this,

Xiao Potian's face changed drastically; without the armor's protection, they could not withstand even a single move from Luo Wuqing.

The only option——

"Of the Thirty‑Six Stratagems, fleeing is best!"

"Sect Master Luo, for treating me and the Xiao family disciples this way today, I, Xiao Potian, will remember this shame."

"And you, brat—thirty years east of the river, thirty years west; we'll see how it plays out."

The words fell!

Xiao Potian shouted angrily.

"Go!"

Then the three each displayed their abilities and fled in panic.

And……

Yet the phrase "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west" acted like a poison needle, once again triggering Lin Yang's perception.

Oh no, this is bad!

Even Xiao Potian can casually utter that saying—there must be a master guiding the Xiao family behind the scenes, or perhaps a Medicine Elder.

If we let the tiger return to the mountain and allow the Xiao family to grow, everyone here will die, and the sect could even be annihilated.

When it's time to cut, cut.

When it's time to be ruthless, be ruthless!

He shouted loudly.

"Sect Master! Don't let them get away."

Upon hearing that!

The Azure Cloud Sect disciples were stunned.

What exactly is that letter?

Why is Lin Yang so obsessed with wanting to completely exterminate Xiao Potian?

And this remark was naturally heard by Xiao Potian, who had just escaped.

He turned his head to glance at Lin Yang, his face hideous and terrifying, as if he wanted to kill Lin Yang with his gaze alone.

What exactly have I done to offend him?

Why go to such extremes to exterminate?

Now look at Luo Wuqing.

Hum!

She really is ruthless—no sooner had Lin Yang's words fallen than she launched a relentless pursuit.

Seeing this, the scene fell instantly silent.

Now the Qingyun Sect and the Xiao Clan have truly become enemies.

Moreover, the warning tone Xiao Potian left before departing lingered long in everyone's hearts.

Anyone can tell that Xiao Potian will absolutely not let this go.

A layer of gloom hung over everyone's heads.

……

And at this moment.

The woman inside Li Yilan's ring also couldn't help praising Lin Yang.

"I have to say, although your master is useless in skill, he's not bad as a person—when there's trouble, he really steps up."

Li Yilan nodded, moved.

Who would say otherwise?

From this moment on, she wholeheartedly accepted this master.

……

Because Luo Wuqing went off to pursue the three Xiao Clan members, it sparked a wave of discussion throughout the crowd.

Li Mu let out a cold snort.

He was extremely dissatisfied with Luo Wuqing's actions in his heart.

As the sect leader, he disregarded the sect's greater good for his pretty face, provoking enmity with the Xiao Clan—truly a misfortune for the sect.

From the start, he strongly opposed a woman taking the position of Qingyun Sect Leader; now the flaws have shown, and it's time for him to accelerate his grand plan.

He said, "Alright, everyone, stop discussing—since things have come to this, saying more is pointless."

"Let's first complete the disciple-acceptance ceremony."

Everyone also nodded in agreement.

But Han Ya said, "Peak Master Li, in my opinion, this matter arose because of Lin Yang, and we absolutely cannot let him off lightly."

"I suggest we first capture him, hand him over to the Elder Council for judgment, and then strip him of his position as Peak Master of the Seventh Peak."

"What do you all think?"

As Han Ya's words fell, the Body Tempering Peak and many people raised their arms and shouted in unison.

"That's right, Peak Master Han is correct."

"Since this matter started because of him, he should be apprehended and made to pay the appropriate price."

"I agree!"

"Agreed!"

"Seconded!"

"……"

The crowd shouted in unison, demanding Lin Yang's capture.

Li Mu watched coldly.

He naturally knew that Han Ya did this precisely to help him suppress Lin Yang.

So he chose to indulge.

And Han Ya, besides helping Li Mu suppress Lin Yang, also harbored personal grudges.

A Nascent Soul Realm waste of a person still dares to talk back to him.

As the Peak Master, I won't let you suffer humiliation to the point of being unable to lift your head—otherwise I wouldn't be Han Ya.

Lin Yang naturally also knew that Han Ya was using this affair to give him a hard time.

He was just about to speak.

Meanwhile, Li Yilan stepped forward and stood before Lin Yang.

"Master, this is all because of me; I will bear the responsibility alone."

Then she looked at Han Ya and the others and said, "Don't hand my master over to the Elder Council for judgment—if there's anything, I'll take responsibility."

She is certainly not ungrateful; her master has borne so much for her, and she would not shrink back now.

It's just that she has encountered such a good master.

She hasn't yet had the chance to show her filial devotion.

And now she's about to die.

She couldn't help but look at Lin Yang with reddened eyes and say, "Master, if there is a next life, I will still be your disciple."

Hearing this, Lin Yang raised his head to look at Li Yilan.

The matter really isn't that serious.

How is this girl still crying?
