Chapter 68: All Throwing Out Olive Branches

"Special Physique?"

"Has she awakened some kind of Sacred Body?"

"Isn't that a one-in-ten-thousand existence?"

The Grand Steward's words utterly struck a chord in the hearts of everyone present.

The path of cultivation is fraught with peril; not everyone can climb to the peak.

An ordinary physique consumes countless resources, yet in the end still gets stuck at some barrier, unable to move forward.

That is a shackle that cannot be broken.

A wall that cannot be smashed through no matter how vast a sea of resources is thrown at it.

Only those who are one in ten thousand—true Heaven's Chosen—can ride smoothly along the path of cultivation.

Without exception, all such people possess a Special Physique.

Leiling Province's territory is vast; over thousands of years, countless Heaven's Pride have risen and fallen like shooting stars.

But only one shone as brilliantly as the sun and moon.

That person was the State Governor of Leiling Province—he was the one-in-ten-thousand Special Physique.

Now, another such person has appeared.

"Lin Family!"

Yang Cun Guang was utterly shocked; his fists were clenched tight, and his eyes were filled with crimson blood.

The Elders and Sect Masters of the Four Great Sect all appeared before Lin Feng at this moment.

"Lin Clan Leader, this girl—my Xuntian Sect wants her!" Pill Master Gu Dan drew a deep breath, his gaze like lightning.

"Bullshit! This girl—my Haoqi Sect wants her!"

Elder Jin Long, who had always looked down on the Lin Family, now actually came before Lin Feng and said with a fawning smile: "Lin Clan Leader, give this little girl to my Haoqi Sect, and from now on I'll guarantee your Lin Family five hundred years of prosperity!"

The Muscle Elder of the Yao Sect, who had long taken a fancy to Lin Ya, shoved Jin Long aside with one push.

He awkwardly scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Huang Ling'er hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lin… give that little girl to my Yao Sect, and this Saintess won't hold it against you for burying me."

"Furthermore, with my Yao Sect behind you, your Lin Family will stand unshakable in Leiling Province."

"Do you want to become the Fourth Great Family of Leiling Province? My Yao Sect can help you!"

Such treatment made the Hundred Tribes' onlookers envious and jealous; every one of them had reddened eyes, hearts full of grievance and fury.

Why must such a divine maiden be born into the Lin Family!

Isn't one great Sword Cultivator and one Alchemist already enough?

"Ahem…"

Qingyun Sect's Sect Master Bai Fangshan had only just opened his mouth to say something when he saw the Grand Steward take a step forward—he too had come before Lin Feng.

"Lin Clan Leader, is this girl betrothed?"

"If you are willing, this girl could marry into the Imperial Family."

The Grand Steward's words stunned the crowd even further.

Leiling Province is merely a fringe land of the Daqian Dynasty—a firefly beneath the bright moon.

But the State Governor of Leiling Province is an Imperial Clan Relative.

Through him, one could connect with the Imperial Family—that is the true dragon soaring through the nine heavens, the phoenix singing across the four seas.

To marry into the Imperial Family, even as a marginal figure, would allow one to wield power over the Daqian Dynasty.

At the very least, one would be assigned to govern a province and become a State Governor.

Precisely for this reason, the Grand Steward's words struck like thunder to the deaf.

"I'm sorry, but my little Xuan'er's future path is not for me to decide." Lin Feng said expressionlessly.

He had long since seen through the ugly faces of these people.

Hadn't every single one of them looked down on Lin Xuan just moments ago?

Now why are they scrambling to cozy up?

Lin Feng's attitude left everyone deeply embarrassed.

The Four Great Sect and the State Governor's office had all already made their offers, yet no one expected Lin Feng to refuse outright!

"Lin Clan Leader, this matter is of great importance—it concerns the future of the Lin Family. You must think it through very carefully!" the Grand Steward said with a fawning smile.

Possessing such a Heaven's Pride, even he had to treat Lin Feng with extra courtesy.

"This Clan Leader never interferes with a clan member's choices."

Lin Feng's brows furrowed slightly, a note of displeasure in his tone.

Seeing this, the Grand Steward asked no more.

"Enough, let the Hundred Clans Assembly continue—do not disrupt the order."

Seeing the Grand Steward speak, Qingyun Sect's Sect Master Bai Fangshan, who had yet to get a word in, could only turn back in regret.

He cast glances at Lin Feng from time to time, quite reluctant to part.

Unlike those great figures above, among the Three Great Families, the upper echelons of the Yun and Yang families had already turned ashen-faced.

"Damn it! Kill them! Wipe them out!"

Yang Cun Guang gritted his teeth, a murderous glint in his eyes.

He clutched the Ancient Jade, continuously transmitting messages—he must make Yang Bingyun kill Lin Xuan.

Only by cutting off the Lin Family's monster's path to life within the Jiuxuan Blessed Land would he escape the Clan Leader's blame.

If they waited until Lin Xuan came out, killing her would be as hard as ascending to heaven!

Over at the Yun Family, there were also people continuously sending messages—the demand was the same: Lin Xuan must die!

All of this happened right under the noses of the Four Great Sects, yet they did not intervene.

The Hundred Clans Assembly has its own rules; they could not be broken.

Besides, Lin Feng's attitude was clear — he would not easily agree to their demands.

Apart from Pill Master Gu Dan, the other three families sat back to watch the tigers fight.

A prodigy is indeed a prodigy, but only a prodigy who survives is worth cultivating.

"Lin Clan Leader! Your Lin Family is in danger this time…"

Pill Master Gu Dan wiped a cold sweat from his brow, his face helpless.

If Lin Feng had casually agreed to any one of them, someone would have stepped in to protect Lin Xuan.

Now…

Lin Feng said nothing, merely watching in silence.

That day in Jinyun City, Lin Xuan's physique had not fully awakened.

Now, facing an opponent, she could fully unleash the power of the Martial Dao Sacred Body.

He, too, wanted to see just how far Lin Xuan could go…

Inside the Jiuxuan Blessed Land.

Facing Lin Xuan, who was enveloped in a Golden Halo, Yang Bingyun — even if he were a fool — realized she was no ordinary person.

When he received Yang Cun Guang's message, it further confirmed his suspicions.

"A Special Physique? Hmph! Such a one-in-a-million talent, and it landed on someone like you — why not me!"

Yang Bingyun roared, reached out and grabbed, and a Spirit Sword blazing with radiant light appeared in his hand.

That was one of the Yang Family's clan-protecting treasures — the Six-Star Spirit Treasure Cloud Mist Sword!

"Clang!"

With a sword-cry, flowing light shimmered along the Cloud Mist Sword.

As streams of Spirit Qi were channeled in, ferociously extreme Sword Qi sprouted forth.

"Using a sword?" Lin Xuan's brows knit slightly.

She was in a very foul mood right now; the aura within her body made her fighting spirit surge.

She had not wanted to release this power — she did not like fighting.

"One sword, and I will surely kill you!"

Yang Bingyun said coldly, and before his words had even fallen, he stamped out with one foot.

Sword Qi surged like tides, wave upon wave.

Each wave a towering surge, each wave a terrifying sight!

"Clouds rise from Purple Mountain Ravine, sword gorge of ten thousand layered towers!"

Killing intent gleamed in Yang Bingyun's eyes as he unleashed the full force of his Foundation Building Realm Ninth Layer Cultivation.

Spirit Qi wrapped around his arm and spread onto the blade.

That single sword strike actually carved a deep sword gorge into the ground.

"In swordsmanship, you are no match for Brother Lin Ya."

Lin Xuan's beautiful eyes flashed, and somehow, she had actually spotted Yang Bingyun's opening.

That sword strike clearly had not been cultivated to perfection.

"I too will use a sword, and defeat you."

As the words fell, Lin Xuan drew a sword from her Storage Bag.

It was a Standard Spirit Sword issued to the younger generation of the Lin Family — a mere two-star.

The Yellow Halo surrounding Lin Xuan suddenly gathered behind her back.

The halo merged into one body, and then further evolved into a human form.

A Golden Human Shadow raised a Virtual Shadow Spirit Sword, and with a single motion alone, the surroundings fell utterly silent.

Leaves drifted down, floating through the air.

The Golden Human Shadow behind Lin Xuan resembled the towering figure of the Lin Family Patriarch, and the sword in its hand was exactly like Lin Feng's strike that annihilated the Pingtian Trading Guild back in Jinyun City!
