Chapter 24: Is Qingyun Sect All That Impressive?

Ji Bo's smile was unsettling; Lin Xuan knew at a glance that this man harbored no good intentions.

"What do you want?" Lin Xuan bit down on her silver teeth and asked coldly.

"Nothing much, of course. I simply wish to invite this beauty to come away with me, to share the clouds and rain and journey to Mount Wu. What do you say?"

Ji Bo laughed loudly and immediately reached out to seize her.

But just at that moment, a flash of white light swept past and took Lin Xuan away directly.

Before long, the Lin Family people arrived and surrounded the area.

"Clan Leader!"

Lin Xuan's tense body gradually relaxed—it turned out Lin Feng had come.

Lin Feng held Lin Xuan in his arms and looked her up and down. Seeing she was unhurt, he finally set his mind at ease.

"You little girl, what are you doing running out here for no reason?"

"If this Clan Leader hadn't arrived just in time, you would have been snatched away!" Lin Feng said, scolding her in exasperation.

Tears welled in Lin Xuan's alluring eyes, a glistening pool swirling in their rims.

"Wuwu… Clan Leader, you're being mean to me!"

"I was just too bored at home, that's why I ran out!"

Lin Xuan sobbed wuwu, but Lin Feng paid her no attention at all. He set Lin Xuan down, then walked over to stand before Qin Long and Ji Bo.

"Qin Long, surrender!"

"You can't escape—this place is already sealed off by us!"

The Lin Family people shouted one after another. This street had already been surrounded by the Lin Family so tightly that not a drop could leak through; everyone had been driven away.

"Hahaha! Lin Feng, you've finally shown yourself!"

At this moment Qin Long let out a great laugh, his eyes brimming with savage killing intent.

With his ability, he could naturally easily evade the Lin Family's scouts.

Yet he had deliberately exposed himself, all to lure out the Lin Family people.

"You destroyed my Qin Family, killed my father and my Ancestor. Today, I, Qin Long, will surely avenge them!"

At these words, Lin Feng's face immediately took on a strange look. "Just on you? I'm genuinely curious—who gave you the courage, you mere Wu Dan Eighth Layer brat, to dare come seeking revenge against me?"

Qin Long's cultivation was nowhere near enough to be a threat; rather, it was the white-robed youth Ji Bo whose cultivation was not low.

"Hmph! Today is the day your Lin Family is wiped out!"

Qin Long gave a cold snort, then quietly instructed Ji Bo: "Second Senior Brother, they're the ones who destroyed my Qin Family. Please lend a hand and help me!"

However, Ji Bo merely let out a cold laugh, immediately stepped back to create distance, and declared that he did not know Qin Long.

"You must be the Lin Family Patriarch. I'm not very familiar with this fellow—your grudge with him is yours to settle as you wish."

No one had expected Ji Bo to suddenly change his tune.

This attitude left everyone dumbfounded.

"Second Senior Brother, you…"

Qin Long's face was full of bewilderment—this wasn't right!

"I am Ji Bo, Personal Disciple of the Inner Elder of Qingyun Sect. Lin Clan Leader, I've taken a liking to one of your Lin Family people. How about this—give me this girl, and I absolutely won't interfere in today's matter. How does that sound?"

Ji Bo smiled amiably; his gaze had been fixed on Lin Xuan all along.

This lecher had never intended to help Qin Long seek revenge in the first place.

Now that he had taken a fancy to Lin Xuan, he was even less likely to stand on Qin Long's side.

At this moment, Lin Xuan's pretty face shifted slightly. The other party was from Qingyun Sect—the Lin Family did not dare offend them.

As things stood now, it seemed the only way to defuse this crisis was to hand herself over.

For a moment, every Lin Family person present looked toward Lin Feng.

At a time like this, sacrificing a pawn to save the king was the wise move.

One person could resolve the conflict between the Lin Family and Qingyun Sect. If it were Lin Zhengshang, he would probably truly agree.

But the one Ji Bo faced was Lin Feng!

"Give her to you?"

Lin Feng's voice turned cold: "Selling out a Clan Member in exchange for profit—that's not my character, Lin Feng, nor is it the way of my Lin Family."

"My Lin Family will absolutely never treat its Clan Members as tools!"

At these words, Lin Xuan's eyes filled with little stars, and her gaze toward Lin Feng brimmed with utter adoration.

All the Lin Family people were further invigorated.

"Lin Clan Leader, didn't you hear me clearly? I am a Personal Disciple of Qingyun Sect!"

Ji Bo's face darkened, his expression tinged with anger.

"I don't care whether you're a personal disciple or an outer one—this is a grudge between me and the Qin Family."

"You'd best step aside, so you don't get splashed with blood later!"

Lin Feng looked over in annoyance. Is Qingyun Sect all that impressive?

"How dare you!"

Seeing this, Qin Long was overjoyed in his heart.

That Lin Feng was truly arrogant—refusing such a good deal and insisting on going against Ji Bo.

In that case, then he, Qin Long, would not hold back!

"Second Senior Brother, wipe out the Lin Family. Not to mention this one woman—even if you took all the women of their entire clan to be your Furnace Cauldron, it wouldn't matter!"

At this point, Ji Bo too grew angry.

"Giving you face and you won't take it. Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for wiping out your entire clan!"

Ji Bo snorted coldly and immediately took out a slender Spirit Sword from his Storage Bag.

The thing shimmered with a cyan sheen, looking radiant — it was at the very least a three-star Spirit Treasure.

"Hahaha! Lin Feng, today is the death day of your Lin Family!"

Qin Long also laughed loudly, releasing his aura all over his body.

Lin Feng's expression didn't change; he simply stared quietly at the two before him.

"It's you who don't know what's good for you. Since you've come, then stay — both of you!"

As Lin Feng's words fell, Qin Long struck first.

Gripping a sharp sword in his hand, he reached Lin Feng in the blink of an eye.

"Die!"

That sword thrust was terrifyingly fast, stabbing toward Lin Feng's throat — the instant it was about to touch him, a burst of Spirit Qi erupted violently.

"Kneel!"

Lin Feng gave a cold shout, reached out and grabbed Qin Long, then slammed him down hard.

"Thud!"

With a tremendous crash, Qin Long's legs shattered, and he was forced to his knees on the ground; blood burst from his knees, staining the earth red.

At the same time, Ji Bo also made his move.

"Wudao Realm? Hmph! A Wudao Realm cultivator from some backwater background — and you think you can compare to a proper disciple of Qingyun Sect like me?"

"Ridiculous!"

Ji Bo smiled contemptuously. Though such a backwater Wudao Realm cultivator had reached the realm, his strength still couldn't keep up.

Only by joining a sect could one have a complete system, equipped with powerful cultivation arts.

This was the reason Ji Bo didn't take Lin Feng seriously.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The slender Spirit Sword in Ji Bo's hand thrust toward Lin Feng, like a nimble swimming serpent — swift and ferocious, a spirit snake flicking its tongue.

"Clan Leader!"

Lin Xuan watched with worry.

All the Lin Family members held their breath.

This time they were facing a Tudi of Qingyun Sect — could Lin Feng handle it?

"You kneel too!"

Lin Feng reached out and grabbed — somehow bypassing the Spirit Sword to seize Ji Bo's wrist.

"Bang!"

Ji Bo's body was hurled high into the air, then slammed heavily onto the ground.

For a moment, the surroundings fell utterly silent — so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Qin Long being beaten down was one thing, but how did even Ji Bo get completely crushed by Lin Feng?

And the opponent was still a Wudao Realm Tudi of Qingyun Sect?

"Seems like the people of Qingyun Sect aren't all that impressive either…"

"Yeah, never seen one this weak."

"Good thing I didn't go cultivate at Qingyun Sect — looks like they're not all that great either!"

The Lin Family Tudi buzzed with discussion.

Lin Xuan's eyes filled with delight, little stars sparkling in them.

The Clan Leader is truly amazing!

As long as Lin Feng is here, the Lin Family need not worry.

Ji Bo's face was full of disbelief — the Lin Feng before him was about the same age as him, yet the difference in strength was this huge?

But… how could this be possible!
