Chapter 64: Li Yilan Runs into Trouble

Facing Yao Lao's attack, Lin Yang had no extra talk.

"Slay Immortal!"

Buzz!

In the sky, a crack suddenly split open; inside the crack, the aura was chaotic, and the imperial might blazed.

The Slay Immortal Imperial Sword emerged as if breaking free from an ancient seal; in an instant, splendid light shot up into the azure sky.

The sharpness was like electricity clearing away dust and redundancy, and the momentum was magnificent and eye‑catching.

Everyone gasped in amazement.

Upon seeing this, Yao Lao's steps, which had originally been charging toward Lin Yang, suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

Plop!

He directly knelt on the ground.

"No, don't kill me."

"I was wrong, don't kill me; you can keep me by your side. I have lived for over ten thousand years, I am well‑versed and knowledgeable, and have taught countless experts. I can guide you to dominate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"Peak Master Lin, give me one chance."

But to the woman inside the Green Ring, these words were just a joke.

Admittedly, her cultivation was not as high as Yao Lao's.

But she knew that, even after living several thousand years, she was only fit to wipe Lin Yang's shoes.

And yet this Yao Lao actually dared to hope to become Lin Yang's mentor—isn't that just asking for death?

She narrowed her eyes slightly.

Given Lin Yang's habit, he would surely kill Yao Lao.

"One Sword Slays Immortal!"

A sword thrust out, and heaven and earth suddenly tilted, winds and clouds trembled.

The sword's cry was like thunder, the whole sky seemed about to be torn apart, the sword gleam of One Sword Slays Immortal danced like a spirit snake; wherever it passed, everything was destroyed.

Ah! No……, don't ah!

Yao Lao's miserable scream was drowned out beneath this sword.

In the Ling Xuan Divine Province, the unsurpassable Yao Lao fell right then.

The entire place fell silent, not even a sparrow chirped.

The members of the Qing Yun Sect, old and young, stared at each other, still underestimating Lin Yang's strength.

The Back Sword Elder and Li Mu both stared in shock; before such an existence, they still dared to throw a tantrum—isn't that just asking for death?

The Qing Mu Sect Master was overjoyed, looking at Li Yilan and then at Lin Yang, feeling genuine happiness that Li Yilan had found such a formidable master.

Of course, the most shocked was Li Yilan herself.

She knew her master was formidable, but she hadn't expected him to be this formidable.

His sword way reached a peerless level, and his mastery of the Imperial Sword and control of One Sword Slays Immortal were hundreds of times superior to hers; at this moment, her admiration for her master was utmost.

Lin Yang merely smiled; it was all thanks to his disciple's feedback.

Truly refreshing.

A wave of spiritual power swept out, and the ring where Yao Lao dwelled, as well as a book titled Heaven's Way Pill Canon, fell into Lin Yang's hands.

He first flipped through that ancient book; it was Yao Lao's pill scripture, now in his hands, and it happened that during his idle days he could concoct pills.

Then he turned to the ring, which stored Yao Lao's abundant soul power.

Seeing this, the woman inside the Green Ring swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then another.

She loved this thing too much.

But this thing belongs to Lin Yang; unless the sun rises in the west, he won't give it to herself.

Immediately.

Lin Yang handed the ring to Li Yilan beside him.

Li Yilan was completely bewildered: "Master, what is this for?"

Lin Yang said slowly: "Give it to that senior on your hand."

"Pre, pre…?!"

Li Yilan's eyes widened bigger than her fists as she exclaimed incredulously: "Mas… Master, do you know there is a senior inside the Green Ring?"

Even the woman inside the Green Ring wore a look of utter disbelief.

She had clearly hidden herself very well.

How was she discovered?

Lin Yang said: "I discovered it long ago, but since she posed no harm to you, I simply kept it quiet."

Upon hearing this,

Li Yilan was startled again and again, yet feeling ashamed she lowered her head and said: "Master, I'm sorry; I have always concealed this from you."

"It's fine, I don't mind." Lin Yang said indifferently.

Upon hearing this,

The woman inside the Green Ring felt a pang in her heart; this feeling was like a flirtatious monkey desperately performing on stage while the audience below was empty.

It was sour.

"However, she might need Yao Lao's soul power; please pass it to her."

Lin Yang said indifferently.

"Soul power—he truly doesn't need it now; first, he lacks cultivation methods for it."

Second, he is really lazy and does not want to cultivate.

Thirdly, who can be sure he won't get a disciple with soul power in the entries?

His principle has always been to have the disciple cultivate and then return it to him.

Let the disciple handle the hard work.

And the woman inside the Green Ring, after obtaining Yao Lao's soul power, immediately changed her expression.

She excitedly said, "Today, the sun really rose from the west?"

"Senior, what does 'the sun rising from the west' mean?" Li Yilan naturally heard this.

"Ah? Nothing." The woman inside the Green Ring hastily said, "What I mean is, your master gave me something so precious; you should thank him for me."

"I've thought up the lines for you; just say them like this."

"Respected Peak Master Lin, this soul power is peerlessly rare; you actually bestowed it upon me, truly making me feel overwhelmed with favor. I originally thought someone as insignificant as me would never have such fortune, but I didn't expect Peak Master Lin's grace to be so great—like a lamp appearing in the dark night, warm waves rising in a cold pool. I will surely not disappoint Peak Master Lin's deep affection; I will expend all my strength to assist Miss Li, to repay this great kindness. Henceforth, I will certainly take Peak Master Lin as my guide, and even if I must lay liver and brains on the ground, I will have no regrets."

Li Yilan looked surprised and said, "Senior, aren't you always saying your master is bad?"

The senior's sudden change of expression actually caught Li Yilan off guard a bit.

The senior said, "Young people will always make mistakes; knowing and correcting them is the greatest good."

"Quickly convey this to your master."

Li Yilan nodded, and didn't dwell on the fact that she was saying she was young while dealing with someone who had lived thousands of years.

She conveyed these words to Lin Yang.

After Lin Yang finished listening,

He merely gave an "hmm".

This dealt another blow to the woman inside the Green Ring.

She gritted her teeth.

It must be that her cultivation is too weak, failing to catch Lin Yang's eye; she vowed to work hard at cultivation and never lag behind.

After Li Yilan's matter was settled, Lin Yang had the Five Elders and others gather the corpses of the Xiao family members together and send them all into the Nether Prison.

At that moment.

From within the Nether Prison came sounds of joy.

"Dad, dad, dad gave us food."

"Eat, eat, eat, eat until full."

"Ooh ooh ooh, so fragrant, so delicious."

Lin Yang rubbed his temples and didn't continue watching those ten guys wolf down their food.

And at that moment.

Li Yilan brought the Qingmu Sect Master to face Lin Yang.

"Master, I plan to go with my uncle to the Xiao family's rear courtyard to retrieve my parents' remains."

Lin Yang nodded and said, "I have nothing to do, so I'll go with you."

This girl encountered these things at sixteen; as her master, I naturally ought to accompany her in her most difficult times.

"Thank you, master." Li Yilan said emotionally.

"Peak Master Lin, thank you for accepting Yilan as your disciple and training her so well; as her uncle, I beg to bow to you."

The Qingmu Sect Master finished speaking and was about to kneel.

However, Lin Yang timely blocked him with a burst of spiritual power.

"Qingmu Sect Master, no need for such courtesy."

Lin Yang said, "Let's first take care of the business."

"Good!"

Immediately, the Qingmu Sect Master brought Lin Yang and Li Yilan, familiar with the route, to the Xiao family's rear courtyard.

Inside a house, Li Yilan saw two skeletons.

They were her parents' skeletons.

Plop.

Li Yilan knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"Dad, Mom, daughter has come to take you home."

At this moment.

Li Yilan's tears had already streamed down her face; she slowly rose.

Just as she was about to take her parents' skeletons.

And at that time.

"Hahaha, that last fish is finally hooked."

Boom!

Petals of purple fell from the eaves.

In an instant, it swept away Li Yilan and her parents' skeletons.
