Chapter 71: Legacy of the Immortal Sect

The situation in Absolute Cliff Valley couldn't be displayed by the Eight Mirrors at all.

"Why isn't the situation in Absolute Cliff Valley being shown?"

Lin Feng frowned, his eyes filled with unease.

Knowing Lin Ya's temper, he must have gone into Absolute Cliff Valley.

Pill Master Gu Dan slowly shook his head and said, "Absolute Cliff Valley is the most dangerous place in the Jiuxuan Blessed Land, and also the only place that has yet to be thoroughly explored."

"Precisely because it cannot be scouted, the information within is unknown, and to this day no one has been able to obtain its fortuitous opportunity."

Hearing this explanation, Lin Feng's frown deepened.

"Then if someone dies inside, no one would even know?"

Lin Feng took a deep breath, a dangerous glint radiating from his gaze.

Seeing this, Pill Master Gu Dan said softly, "Lin Clan Leader, don't be anxious. Lin Ya is a blessed soul—heaven will surely watch over him, and he'll turn danger into safety."

Such words of comfort only filled Lin Feng with contempt.

"Don't say such things to my people. Those who just entered Absolute Cliff Valley—they're the ones who should be worried about safety."

Lin Feng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, cold light surging in his eyes.

Hearing this, Elder Jin Long standing nearby smiled disdainfully and mocked, "Just wait! When the time is up, let's see whether your Lin Family people can walk out of Absolute Cliff Valley!"

……

Inside Absolute Cliff Valley.

A battle had already erupted.

Lin Qi held off three people—his opponents were from the Zhao Family.

Those three all had the strength of Foundation Building Sixth Layer, and under their joint assault, Lin Qi had no power to fight back—after all, Lin Qi was only at Foundation Building Realm, Fifth Layer.

Relying on the Golden Light Mantra and the Huntuangong, Lin Qi was barely holding on.

Meanwhile, the remaining dozens of people were all surrounding and attacking Lin Ya.

"Get lost!"

Lin Ya roared, and the Iron Sword in his hand suddenly erupted with a chilling, heart-piercing gleam.

The sword light flashed, and everyone was forced back.

They seemed to have long anticipated Lin Ya's attack patterns, even able to predict them in advance. With such an imbalance in intelligence, Lin Ya was also struggling greatly to cope.

Already outnumbered, besieged by so many working together, and with his moves seen through.

How could this be fought!

"Hmph! You're nothing but a cornered beast putting up a last struggle."

"Kid, today you should be buried here!"

"If you must blame someone, blame your Lin Family for being too dazzling!"

One taunt after another came at him, weighing heavily on Lin Ya's mind. This group had come prepared—they seemed to already know many things.

The Lin Family had shone too brilliantly at this Hundred Clans Assembly, making it inevitable that they'd be targeted.

"Just the likes of you? You're not even worth a single hair on Brother Yan!"

Lin Ya gritted his teeth and roared in fury, and the Iron Sword in his hand once again released Sword Qi.

Although his Cultivation was at Foundation Building Realm, Seventh Layer, the more Sword Qi he released, the greater his expenditure.

Half a quarter-hour later, he had also gained several wounds, and his entire aura instantly withered.

A Sword Cultivator is not invincible either!

A pack of wild dogs can, through sheer numbers of bites, wear down and kill a lion.

"Brother Lin Ya!"

Lin Qi watched Lin Ya fall into a bitter fight, about to collapse. Panic seized his heart, and he had just thought to rush forward to help when a sword from a Zhao Family man pierced straight through his shoulder blade.

"Dueling us, and you dare let your mind wander?"

The Zhao Family man laughed coldly—Lin Qi's distraction meant death.

"You all deserve to die!"

Lin Ya's eyes filled with streaks of sword light. The Spirit Qi within his body rapidly transformed, and the Sword Qi around him became like blazing flames, beginning to release a scorching aura.

All of this played out under Yun Duan's observation.

"The people of the Lin Family truly are unyielding," Yun Duan marveled inwardly.

Such a figure—if he were a child of their Yun Family, they would certainly mobilize the best resources to cultivate him, and dispatch people to give him the most thorough protection.

Unfortunately, they were born into the Lin Family—destined to astonish the world for a moment, only to fall like a meteor.

Only a single instant of brilliance before they must perish.

"Kill him, and you'll be rewarded with a hundred thousand Spirit Stones!" Yun Duan roared.

He immediately took out a Storage Bag and slammed it onto the ground with a clang. The Spirit Stones inside spilled out in abundance, and everyone's eyes gleamed with greed.

"Kill!"

"Absolutely don't let him escape!"

Under a heavy reward, there will always be brave souls.

Even those who feared Lin Ya's sword now stepped forward alone, unhesitatingly striking at Lin Ya.

"His aura has already withered—this is the perfect chance!" someone shouted loudly.

As the words fell, several more stepped forward, each with Cultivation at the Foundation Building Sixth Layer realm—surely the carefully nurtured core members of their respective clans.

The attacks were about to fall.

Lin Ya pulled a Fuchun Pill from his bosom.

This item had been given to them by Lin Feng to save their lives—used at this moment, it could just save them.

When the Fuchun Pill was swallowed, a surging tide of energy immediately surged forth. Using a Six-Star Pill to restore Spirit Qi — such extravagance was something only Lin Ya could pull off.

"Sword Qi Rising to Nine Heavens, winds and clouds fall!"

"A single sword dances alone, cleaving the Heavenly Officials!"

Lin Ya roared out, and the Iron Sword in his hand suddenly erupted with blinding bursts of Sword Qi.

It was as if some kind of inheritance had entered Lin Ya's mind. In an instant, he charged forward sword in hand, dodging every single attack.

"Not good!"

In the span of a single blink, everyone who had rushed in was struck by the Sword Qi.

No flourishes, no frills — where the sword passed, wounds followed; where the sword struck, bodies were split apart.

A spray of blood rose up, even obscuring the Sword Qi itself.

Those elites from the various great clans couldn't last a single move against Lin Ya!

"What?!"

Yun Duan was greatly shocked.

Just now Lin Ya's aura had clearly been withered, on the verge of collapse, looking as if he was about to be killed — how could he possibly erupt with such terrifying power in such dire straits?

At the same time, in Lin Feng's mind out in the outside world, the system's voice rang out.

【Ding! Clan Member Lin Ya has obtained the Nine Swords Inheritance of the Wanxian Ancient Sect. The Host is synchronizing...】

【Ding! Clan Member Lin Ya has broken through in the midst of battle. His realm has advanced to: Foundation Building, Eighth Layer.】

Lin Feng's pupils contracted!

Though he couldn't see the situation inside the Absolute Cliff Valley, the change in Lin Ya sent a jolt through his heart.

Very soon, a stream of Sword Path inheritance flooded into Lin Feng's mind.

"Wanxian Ancient Sect — is that the name of the sect that once belonged to the Jiuxuan Blessed Land?"

"Nine Swords Inheritance — invincible within the Wudao Realm at Small Success, and invincible below the Sage realm at Great Success?"

Lin Feng rejoiced secretly in his heart.

The Jiuxuan Blessed Land truly was a fine place. Lin Ya had actually obtained a Sword Path inheritance, and moreover mastered an extremely fierce Sword Path sword art.

Now Lin Ya should have comprehended the first sword, and the system had granted Lin Feng the Nine Swords Inheritance at Small Success.

So long as Lin Feng unleashed the Nine Swords, he would be an invincible existence within the Wudao Realm!

"Interesting."

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth curved up, and he felt even more at ease about Lin Ya.

At this moment, inside the Absolute Cliff Valley.

Lin Ya slew eight men with a single sword. Fresh blood drenched the earth, and ultimately flowed inward.

One could see the small towers at the center of the Absolute Cliff Valley, as if coated with a layer of blood.

"Come again!"

Lin Ya stood with sword in hand, the blade pointing at the elites of the various clans surrounding him.

His entire body radiated an unmatched, fierce Sword Qi, inspiring awe in all who looked upon him.

"Come on!"

Lin Ya roared in fury. He stepped forward, and that group of people retreated three steps.

"This..."

These people had come to kill Lin Ya, not to throw their lives away.

Lin Ya's slaying of eight men with a single sword just now had thoroughly terrified them.

"I said come again!"

Lin Ya roared. At this moment, his momentum had climbed to its peak.

Even if fifty more came, he feared he could slaughter them all!

The man was like a sword; his Sword Qi pierced the heavens.

"Lin Ya! Take one more step forward, and he dies!"
