Chapter 62: Refuse? Then I'll Send You to Meet King Yama!

In Leiling Province, most families cultivate Three-Star or Four-Star techniques.

Now seeing someone able to produce a Five-Star Technique for their clan members to cultivate, they were instantly amazed as if witnessing a miracle.

A while back, everyone was spreading the word that the Lin Family had obtained a great treasure and an enormous opportunity.

Looking at it now, this matter is probably true!

Otherwise, how could a small family like the Lin Family of Ziyun City possibly obtain a Five-Star Technique?

"What absurd luck!"

"Hmph! A Five-Star Technique—can the Lin Family even hold onto it?"

"Wealth should not be shown. Since they've shown it…"

In an instant, the gazes of the many families participating in this assembly toward the Lin Family all changed.

A mere Lin Family, holding a Five-Star Technique.

This is their death sentence!

The sharp gazes from all around—Lin Feng paid them no heed whatsoever.

Since he had decided to come participate in the Hundred Clans Assembly, he already knew this outcome would come.

The secret of the Five-Star Technique cannot be hidden.

Within the Eight Mirrors, Lin Xiao had already dealt with the young master of the Liu Family.

Immediately after, he walked toward the Sky Cloud Silver Light Grass, brimming with joy.

The Three-Star Medicinal Material Sky Cloud Silver Light Grass was quite precious.

Put on the market, every single stalk could fetch a considerable sum.

Now there was a whole patch free for the taking. Lin Xiao's heart leaped with joy, yet without realizing it, he let his vigilance over his surroundings slip.

Seeing this scene from the outside, Lin Feng could not help but furrow his brow.

Within the Jiuxuan Blessed Land, danger lurked everywhere.

Not to mention the perilous traps left behind by predecessors, the young men of the various clans who had entered together were themselves sources of danger.

Letting down one's guard was utterly fatal.

Sure enough, just as Lin Xiao was rapidly harvesting the medicinal materials, a streak of sword light suddenly came attacking!

That sword light was exceptionally fierce, and in the span of a single blink, it had already reached Lin Xiao's back.

With a "slash," blood sprayed in all directions!

"Who is it?!"

Lin Xiao was greatly shocked—he hadn't expected anyone else to be here.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Liu Kan was merely the mantis; he was taken down by Lin Xiao, and now the true oriole had already appeared.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Lin Family does have some skill, to actually produce a Five-Star Technique for you youngsters to cultivate."

A cold laugh rang out, and two youths in brocade garments stepped out from within the forest.

Of the two, one used a sword, the other a saber.

The one who had struck just now was the sword-wielding youth.

The sword-wielding youth stepped forward, a Jade Token hanging at his waist, engraved with the character "Wang."

He was a member of the Wang Family, one of the Hundred Tribes.

"How dare you launch a sneak attack on me!"

Lin Xiao was in so much pain he was grimacing, his entire body tensing up.

The sword wound on his back was seeping bright crimson blood.

"Sneak attack? What can you do to me?"

The Wang Family youth strode forward with a vicious grin, and without hesitation released his cultivation—it was actually the strength of the sixth level of Foundation Building Realm.

He sneered coldly: "I had originally thought Liu Kan could slay you, but I didn't expect you to have cultivated a Five-Star Technique."

"This Sky Cloud Silver Light Grass, I, Wang Ji, don't care for it, but your Five-Star Technique—you must hand it over!"

As his words fell, Lin Xiao retreated step by step.

So this fellow had his eye on the Golden Light Mantra all along.

"And if I refuse to hand it over?" Lin Xiao ground his teeth in fury.

"Refuse? Then I'll send you to meet King Yama!"

Wang Ji let out a cold laugh, and his Spirit Sword slashed out in an instant.

This fellow's cultivation was no weak matter—he could suppress Lin Xiao to begin with.

And having landed a sneak attack beforehand, Lin Xiao now had no power to fight back at all.

The sharp sword howl came rushing in, and Lin Xiao's pupils shrank to pinpoints.

This time, he was truly going to die!

"Whoosh…"

Suddenly, a blast of fierce flame came sweeping in, and in an instant it actually burned Wang Ji into retreating repeatedly!

A figure stood in the forest, his eyes brimming with intense killing intent.

A ring of raging fire coiled around his fingers.

"Brother Yan!"

Lin Xiao turned his head to look and instantly cried out in shock.

The newcomer was none other than Lin Yan.

"I heard the commotion and rushed over immediately. I didn't expect it to be you, kid."

Lin Yan smiled, and fury surfaced in his eyes as he saw the deep sword wound on Lin Xiao's back, blood gushing out.

Lin Yan's voice was like frost: "Was it them?"

Wang Ji narrowed his eyes; he had very little intelligence on the Lin Family and didn't recognize Lin Yan yet.

Still, that blast of raging fire just now was truly terrifying.

"Who are you!"

Wang Ji grew wary, his grip tightening on his Spirit Sword, already prepared to defend himself.

"Lin Family, Lin Yan."

Hearing the name, Wang Ji had no impression of it at all.

Before the Hundred Clans Assembly begins, every major family would frantically gather intelligence on the others; generally, the data on core figures could be found.

But the Lin Family was rather special — over the past few months, they had been cultivating on Ziyun Mountain and Thatched Cottage Mountain, and had not sparred with outsiders.

Therefore, no one could learn any information about the Lin Family's younger generation.

"Hmph! Just a minor character!" Wang Ji sneered. "You must have cultivated a Five-Star Technique as well, haven't you?"

"As long as you hand over the technique, I'll grant you a quick end."

The moment those words fell, Lin Xiao trembled all over with rage.

This man not only wanted their technique, but also wanted to kill them.

It was simply too much of a bully!

"If you kneel and apologize right now, I can grant you a quick end."

Lin Yan advanced step by step, the Spirit Qi on his body beginning to transform into flames.

The watching crowd saw this scene, and their eyes all lit up.

"This man can actually make Spirit Qi ignite into fire — he's an Alchemist!"

"The Lin Family actually produced an Alchemist, how interesting."

"This boy's talent is indeed not bad, but it's a pity he ran into Wang JI of the Wang Family."

The crowd buzzed with discussion; the Wang Clan Leader's lips curved, and the people of some families beside him had already begun cupping their hands in congratulations.

This Wang Family, in the previous Hundred Clans Assembly, ranked fifty-fifth, a remarkable achievement.

That Wang Ji was moreover the Wang Family's Young Master.

Based on the available data analysis, Wang Ji was a genius the Wang Family had carefully cultivated.

In this Hundred Clans Assembly, he was bound to shine brilliantly.

"Lin Clan Leader, that young man of the Wang Family will not be easy to deal with!"

Pill Master Gu Dan took a deep breath, a flicker of worry in his eyes.

Back then, he had taken a liking to Lin Yan and wanted to take him as a Tudi.

But the Lin Family's depth made Pill Master Gu Dan dare not overstep.

Now, seeing Lin Yan participate in this Hundred Clans Assembly, he felt a good deal of helplessness in his heart.

What an Alchemist excels at is refining Pills, not martial combat.

Sending Lin Yan to the Hundred Clans Assembly was tantamount to sending him to his death.

He truly couldn't fathom what Lin Feng was thinking — wasn't he afraid Lin Yan would die young?

Lin Feng's expression was like an ancient well, utterly calm.

On the screen, Lin Yan had already closed in on Wang Ji.

That Wang Ji raised the Spirit Sword in his hand, a cold, fierce smile curving his lips.

"You're truly arrogant. So be it — I'll kill you first, then force the other to reveal the secret of the Five-Star Technique!"

In an instant, Spirit Qi erupted from Wang Ji's body, and the man surged forward like a fierce tiger.

His speed was astonishing, dazzling to the eye.

Yet Lin Yan not only did not retreat, he even took a sudden step forward.

He was seen taking a deep breath, clenching his fist, and throwing it straight at the sword edge.

Spirit Qi igniting into fire is a characteristic of Alchemists.

But this Spirit Fire's effect against enemies was not particularly powerful.

Therefore Alchemists were generally weak, unable to face opponents of the same realm in martial combat.

Even when facing enemies weaker than themselves, they were at a loss.

Yet now Lin Yan was meeting force with force, using his fist against a sword blade.

This scene appearing on the screen immediately caused the crowd outside to burst into snickers.
