Chapter 69: An Ominous Premonition!

"A Martial Dao phantom — the ultimate illusion."

"Her constitution is the one-in-a-million Martial Dao Sacred Body!"

The Grand Steward's gaze tightened; at this moment he had finally confirmed exactly what constitution Lin Xuan possessed.

And at this moment, within Lin Feng's mind, the performance rating regarding Lin Xuan also surfaced.

【Ding! Clan Member Lin Xuan's performance rating is Golden.】

【Clan Member Lin Xuan's Martial Dao Sacred Body has reached Small Success. Reward obtained: Five-Star Pill Void Spirit Pill ×200, Meridian-Opening Pill ×100, Six-Star Spirit Treasure Soaring Cloud Boat, Qi Luck Value +1500.】

With the system's reward issued, the corner of Lin Feng's mouth curved upward.

Although he was optimistic about Lin Ya and Lin Yan, only when Lin Xuan broke through and grew did the system give the most generous rewards.

She was the Lin Family's true child of destiny!

"She must be killed!"

Yang Cun Guang viciously crushed the Ancient Jade in his hand, transmitting the final message.

Within the Jiuxuan Blessed Land, Yang Bingyun had already abandoned everything.

He was seen delivering that sword without the slightest hesitation.

At the same moment, Lin Xuan also struck out with a sword.

Sword Qi against Sword Qi, Sword Path against Sword Path.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

A string of explosions rang out, and many people within the Jiuxuan Blessed Land raised their heads one after another.

In the area where Lin Xuan stood, every great tree within a one-li radius was cleanly sliced in two.

A vast expanse of open ground appeared.

The Golden Human Shadow behind Lin Xuan began to dissipate, and a trace of pallor appeared on her pretty face.

Standing in place, still holding the sword-striking posture, Yang Bingyun's Spirit Qi was utterly drained, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.

Behind him was a deep Sword Gorge stretching over a dozen zhang.

"Aiya, still not as good as one sword from the Clan Leader — the Clan Leader is truly a monster!" Lin Xuan sheathed her Spirit Sword and said, sticking out her tongue.

She didn't spare Yang Bingyun so much as a glance.

Only a heavy thud was heard, followed by a pillar of blood shooting skyward.

Hot blood soaked the grass, dyeing the green ground with a crimson sheen.

Yang Bingyun — the carefully nurtured Young Master of the Yang Family, one of the three great houses of Leiling Province, and a cultivator at Foundation Building Realm Ninth Layer.

Beheaded in a single strike!

"No!"

On the Black Boat, the Yang Family elder Yang Cun Guang shot forth in agitation, wishing he could charge straight into the Jiuxuan Blessed Land and slay Lin Xuan.

The Grand Steward's gaze darkened, and he struck out with a stream of Spirit Qi.

Yang Cun Guang was knocked unconscious on the spot.

"No one is permitted to violate the rules of the Hundred Clans Assembly. Should any outsider interfere, next time it will be death!"

The Grand Steward's voice was calm, yet no one dared offend again.

Lin Feng cast him a look of contempt.

"Earlier Yang Mingxuan said he was a branch of the Leiling Prefecture Yang Family — could this Yang Family be the Main Family?"

Lin Feng guessed inwardly, but paid it no mind.

The Yang Family of today was no longer anything to fear.

Within the Jiuxuan Blessed Land, Lin Xuan skipped away. She had just been about to take out a Golden Origin Fruit to eat one, but then recalled Lin Feng's warning.

"Hmph! Stinky Clan Leader!"

Lin Xuan pouted and gave a hum, only then putting the Golden Origin Fruit back.

The onlookers outside broke out in cold sweat — this little ancestor was truly reckless!

At the same time, the younger generation of the various clans had already spent five days within the Jiuxuan Blessed Land.

One day outside equaled ten days within the Jiuxuan Blessed Land.

The schedule was now half over, and over five hundred Golden Origin Fruits had already fallen into various hands.

The disciples of every major family had suffered casualties; only a handful still retained ten members present.

The Lin Family was among them.

The higher a family's ranking, the more special means they possessed to communicate with their disciples inside the Jiuxuan Blessed Land.

In just five days, the clansmen of many families had already banded together.

Only the Lin Family's ten juniors remained scattered across the land.

By now, among the Hundred Tribes, quite a few families had already used various means to send messages inside.

Led by the Yun Family, a chaotic situation was taking shape.

On the Black Boat, the elder the Yun Family had sent this time was named Yun Shanguan.

He was seen smiling as he spoke, inviting the Ji Family, Zhao Family, and other highly ranked families to board the Yun Family's Black Boat to discuss matters of importance.

Such a move was naturally observed by Lin Feng.

Pill Master Gu Dan narrowed his eyes and reminded Lin Feng: "Lin Clan Leader, you must be careful."

"As the saying goes, when a tree stands taller than the forest, the wind will surely topple it. The most dazzling dark horse of this Hundred Clans Assembly is your Lin Family."

Lin Feng gave a slight nod. Among the Hundred Tribes present, no one would sit idly by and watch the Lin Family grow strong.

Especially with three outstanding talents in a single house.

"Do you have any plan?" Pill Master Gu Dan asked in puzzlement.

"There's no way." Lin Feng answered truthfully.

The Lin Family disciples had still not gathered together, and compared to other families, the disadvantage was extremely obvious.

Fortunately, the Lin Family disciples were not weak, and they had still kept their quota of ten people.

Even the Golden Origin Fruit — they had already collected close to a hundred of them.

"Lin Clan Leader, your Lin Family's Lin Ya is in danger."

At this moment, a Xiao Family elder, one of the three great families, suddenly sent a voice transmission over.

Lin Feng looked over, somewhat surprised.

He saw that the Xiao Family elder Xiao Xuanming had actually cast him a friendly gaze, releasing goodwill.

This strange move made Lin Feng somewhat puzzled.

The Xiao Family, it seemed, held quite a favorable opinion of the Lin Family.

"Lin Clan Leader, within the Jiuxuan Blessed Land, there is a place that hides ninety-nine Jinyuan Fruit Trees, called Absolute Cliff Valley."

"That place hides a legacy of the Blessed Land, and for many years no one has been able to obtain it."

"The reason is that the place of the legacy is fraught with peril — besides a few mapped traps, there are also many unknown, terrifying prohibitions."

Xiao Xuanming continued explaining: "Your family's Lin Ya — the place he's heading to right now is precisely Absolute Cliff Valley!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng's gaze darkened.

On a mirror, he saw Lin Ya heading toward a valley.

"Lin Ya, don't go into the valley ahead!" Lin Feng immediately sent a voice transmission.

He could only use the system to contact those inside the Blessed Land three times.

Contacting Lin Xuan had already used one chance.

This was the second.

"Clan Leader?" Lin Ya, carrying an Iron Sword on his back, looked somewhat surprised. "Clan Leader, how can you send me a voice transmission?"

"Don't worry about that for now — you can't go ahead." Lin Feng said in a low voice.

He had a vague, ominous premonition.

Back then, choosing to plant a Sword Heart in the Bitter Sea for Lin Ya was choosing an extremely difficult path for him.

And the system had given an explicit hint that this child would likely face many killing perils in the future.

Once struck, it would be a falling star — dim and lightless.

"Why can't I go?"

Lin Ya was even more puzzled. He looked at the valley ahead, and could already see the ninety-nine Jinyuan Fruit Trees.

As long as they took these Golden Origin Fruits, their Lin Family might well take first place at the Hundred Clans Assembly.

This was the wish of everyone in the Lin Family.

"There is danger inside—"

Lin Feng's voice transmission had not yet finished when he saw a Lin Family disciple appear ahead, who happened to walk into Absolute Cliff Valley as well.

"If there is danger, then I cannot let my clan members take the risk!"

Lin Ya frowned. He still remembered what Lin Feng had said — to bring every single Lin Family disciple back!

Lin Ya stepped forward, walking toward Absolute Cliff Valley.

"This kid!"

Lin Feng's mouth twitched. After all his calculations, he had not expected another Lin Family junior to have set his sights on Absolute Cliff Valley. Knowing Lin Ya's character, he would never sit by and watch his clan members face danger.

"Eh? How did that kid get into Absolute Cliff Valley?"

Pill Master Gu Dan looked at the mirror image and saw Lin Ya walk into the valley.

In an instant, the image in the mirror dimmed, and then switched directly.

No one could investigate the situation inside Absolute Cliff Valley.

"What's going on?"

Lin Feng's brow furrowed even deeper, and his ominous premonition grew stronger…
