Chapter 64: If a Man Bullies Me, I Will Repay Him a Hundredfold!
Inside the Jiuxuan Blessed Land.
Lin Yan caught up to that junior of the Wang Family and killed him with a single punch.
Under the crushing weight of their cultivation gap, that Wang Family member had no way to escape at all.
Not long after, Lin Yan returned to where he had been and saw Lin Xiao healing his wounds.
"Brother Yan, if you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have…"
Lin Xiao gave a bitter smile. He had ultimately been careless, having no guard up at all, and had nearly been schemed against by the Wang Family people.
If he weren't injured, he could still fight.
"Don't waste words." Lin Yan said indifferently, "Your injuries are severe. Take the Fuchun Pill."
Lin Yan took out a pill.
Before setting out on this trip, Lin Feng had prepared two Fuchun Pills each for Lin Yan, Lin Xuan, and Lin Ya.
This item was a Five-Star Pill, capable of saving one's life at a critical moment.
"Brother Yan, if you give it to me, what about you?"
Lin Xiao was deeply moved. This was something that could save a life, and his injuries were indeed very severe.
But after recuperating a while, finding a place to hide, he could hold on until the Hundred Clans Assembly ended.
"Less nonsense!"
Saying so, Lin Yan shoved the pill straight into Lin Xiao's mouth.
A moment later, the medicinal effect took hold. Streams of pure medicinal power flowed into Lin Xiao's body, and the sword wound on his back began to heal rapidly.
Such a miraculous pill made the people outside tremble inwardly.
They did not understand the grade of this pill; only the upper echelons of the Four Great Sects and the three great families could see through it.
This was a Five-Star Pill!
Just how many secrets was this Ziyun City Lin Family hiding?
Once Lin Xiao recovered, their image vanished from the screen. The Eight Mirrors outside the Jiuxuan Blessed Land would switch around at will.
The people shown on them were also random.
Through the Eight Mirrors, the people outside could very easily grasp what those inside had obtained and what they had encountered.
That Jiuxuan Blessed Land truly lived up to its name as a Blessed Land.
Quite a few Hundred Tribes disciples had obtained fortuitous encounters—pills, Spirit Treasures, medicinal ingredients—many different kinds.
As time went on, quite a few conflicts also broke out.
But up until now, no one had found the Golden Origin Fruit.
"Pill Master Gu Dan, could you tell me about the Golden Origin Fruit?" Lin Feng asked, quite curious.
Pill Master Gu Dan, who stood to one side, glanced at the Grand Steward, then began to explain.
The fortuitous encounters within the Jiuxuan Blessed Land were nothing much to the Leiling Province Prefecture.
The Golden Origin Fruit alone was the exception.
This item was a Six-Star Spirit Medicine, extremely precious.
Only within the Jiuxuan Blessed Land did the Jinyuan Fruit Tree grow.
Moreover, it ripened only once every ten years—one tree, one fruit-bearing cycle, yielding a thousand fruits.
This fruit had long been monopolized by the Prefecture, and absolutely no one was allowed to hide any for themselves.
"The Golden Origin Fruit can refine the Six-Star Pill, the Holy Body Jinyuan Pill. It is said that within the Prefecture, the State Governor's beloved daughter needs this pill, and so the Golden Origin Fruit has been monopolized."
After Pill Master Gu Dan finished his explanation, he once again cast a deep look at the Grand Steward.
"After the Hundred Clans Assembly ends, your Lin Family must remember to hand over the Golden Origin Fruit. You absolutely must not hide any for yourselves. Otherwise…"
Looking at Pill Master Gu Dan's obscure gaze, Lin Feng naturally understood what the second half of his sentence was.
Offending the Prefecture was not worth it.
At this moment, the Grand Steward's eyes lit up.
His gaze locked tight as he looked toward one of the mirrors.
He saw eight people appear in the mirror—seven of them surrounding a Lin Family disciple.
"It's Lin Ya."
Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. He saw Lin Ya standing beside an ancient tree, a golden, gleaming fruit in his hand.
It was the Golden Origin Fruit!
Inside the Jiuxuan Blessed Land, Lin Ya held an ordinary Spirit Sword in his hand. His gaze was sharp as he scanned his surroundings.
"Ji Family, Zhao Family, you joining hands against me—surely it's not just for this Golden Origin Fruit, is it?" Lin Ya said coldly.
Though young in age, his temperament had already been thoroughly tempered.
Faced with a situation of being surrounded and attacked, he showed not the slightest panic.
Among the two groups before him, the Ji Family's Leader for this trip, Ji Xuan, emanated Spirit Qi all over—his cultivation had already reached Foundation Building Seventh Layer. The other three Ji Family disciples were all at Foundation Building Fourth Layer.
The other three were all Zhao Family disciples, their cultivations all at Foundation Building Sixth Layer.
Such a lineup—even Lin Yan facing it would find it extremely grueling!
"Finally caught one of the Lin Family."
"Kill him!"
"Just killing him, how could that vent our hatred? Rip him open! Chop off his head and hang it on the tree!"
The people of the Ji and Zhao families laughed darkly.
Over these past few months, the Lin Family's main enemies had been the Ji Family and the Zhao Family.
The Ji Family had lost a Young Master—precisely Ji Xuan's elder brother. The Zhao Family had lost the Pingtian Trading Guild, suffering a grievous blow.
Given all this, it was understandable that the Ji Family and Zhao Family had joined forces against Lin Ya.
"Kid, state your name. This young master doesn't kill nameless nobodies!" Ji Xuan said with a cold laugh.
He gathered the Ji Family disciples at the first opportunity and happened to run into three Zhao Family members.
The two sides had long since formed an alliance, dedicated to killing Lin Family disciples.
"Lin Family, Lin Ya," Lin Ya said coldly.
Ji Xuan snorted coldly: "What a fine Lin Ya. Hand over the Golden Origin Fruit, and this young master will give you a quick death."
"This young master's sword is very fast. Rest assured, it won't hurt."
"Have you died before? How would you know it doesn't hurt!" Lin Ya curled his lip and asked, visibly displeased.
"Young Master Ji, don't waste words with him. Killing him is the safer option. Give the Golden Origin Fruit to our Zhao Family — this time our Zhao Family is going to break into the top three rankings."
The Zhao Family members frowned; they didn't want to waste time.
Ji Xuan felt a little annoyed inside, but said nothing more. He saw him stride forward quickly, and the Ji Family people moved at that very moment as well.
Seven against one — no matter how you looked at it, that one person had no chance of winning.
"Are you certain you want to provoke me?"
Lin Ya exhaled a long breath. The Iron Sword in his hand hummed and buzzed — it was something he had found in a treasure vault within the Jiuxuan Blessed Land.
This sword was fated to be with him.
"It's not provoking you — it's killing you!"
The Ji Family disciple stepped forward, his broadsword falling in the blink of an eye.
In a split second of lightning and flint, no one saw clearly how Lin Ya had moved his hand.
But with a sweep of wild wind, the arm of that Ji Family disciple holding the blade was severed.
Sword Qi swept across, cutting through the Ji Family crowd, and from the large stretch of forest behind them came a deafening sound of collapse.
Several dozen trees as thick as a rice bowl were sliced clean through by a single sword strike.
"What?!"
Ji Xuan's pupils contracted sharply, and he retreated several steps in rapid succession.
That sword strike just now had shaken him to the core.
"You're the ones who forced my hand. I didn't want to kill anyone."
Lin Ya put away the Golden Origin Fruit. In his view, wasn't the Hundred Clans Assembly simply about contending for opportunities and collecting Golden Origin Fruits?
The Blessed Land was already riddled with traps everywhere, causing tremendous casualties among the Hundred Tribes.
Why add fratricidal fighting on top of that?
"This kid is strange — don't give him a chance. All of you, attack together!"
The three Zhao Family members' eyes flashed, and they one after another drew their weapons. Their Cultivation was stronger, and they were not the least bit afraid of Lin Ya.
"Attack!"
Ji Xuan regulated his breathing. He possessed the strength of Foundation Building Seventh Layer — the strongest among the Ji Family's younger generation. Why should he fear a mere Lin Family junior!
"The Clan Leader said: if a man bullies me, I will repay him a hundredfold!"
Streaks of Sword Qi manifested around Lin Ya's body. The Sword Heart within his dantian bloomed into a flower, and from every petal of that Sword Flower seeped astonishing comprehensions of the Sword Path.
"Hmph! Putting on airs!"
Ji Xuan charged forward with his sword. The Spirit Sword in his hand was a Four-Star Spirit Treasure — a treasure the Ji Family had spent no small number of Spirit Stones to purchase.
This one strike would sever Lin Ya's final delusions!
"Sword Qi Rising to Nine Heavens!"
With Lin Ya's explosive roar, a Sword Qi storm instantly materialized.
