Chapter 75: The Lin Family Fears No One!

~8 min read 1,490 words

Only to see the Haoqi Sect Elder leap down from the white vessel in the sky.

He crashed heavily onto the ground, a cold, fierce glint rising in his eyes.

The moment he appeared, Zhao San of the Zhao Family exhaled in relief, then a look of smugness spread across his face.

The reason the Zhao Family dared to challenge the position of the three great families was because they had the Haoqi Sect backing them.

For this Hundred Clans Assembly, the Zhao Family had already planned everything out.

Inside the Jiuxuan Blessed Land, kill the Lin Family's juniors, then have Elder Jin Long step forward and slay Lin Feng.

Although the plan hit a few snags, it could still be carried out.

"Elder Jin Long, you saw it all! How arrogant is this boy!"

Zhao San said excitedly: "According to the rules of the Hundred Clans Assembly, since the Jiuxuan Blessed Land has already vanished, any further grudges must be set aside!"

"He killed the Yun Family's Elder and the Yun Family's Young Master in broad daylight."

"This boy has no respect for law and order, is wildly arrogant — he deserves to die!"

Zhao San's impassioned accusations drew sympathy from many families among the Hundred Tribes.

They chose to help Zhao San precisely because they feared the Lin Family.

Such a family must be eradicated as soon as possible.

Best to wipe out those three Heaven's Pride along with them!

"Boy, this Elder finds you very displeasing to the eye! So wildly arrogant — could it be that you don't take our Four Great Sects seriously?" Elder Jin Long sneered coldly.

Panic rose in the eyes of the Lin Family's juniors — even the Haoqi Sect has stepped in?

Their Lin Family likely cannot escape this calamity.

"It's not that I don't take the Four Great Sects seriously…" Lin Feng said lightly, his tone flat, sounding more like he was backing down.

"Hmph! Then why don't you kneel at once?"

Elder Jin Long gave a cold snort — before him, the Lin Family dares to act so brazenly?

But once he finished speaking, even more killing intent welled up in Lin Feng's eyes.

"What I mean is, I have never once taken you people seriously."

The moment those words fell, Elder Jin Long's face changed drastically.

The people from the Yao Sect and Qingyun Sect all had their gazes darken, and a commotion broke out among the Hundred Tribes — at this moment, whether Clan Leader or Elder, everyone was utterly shocked.

The juniors of every family were even more astonished, every gaze fixed on Lin Feng.

"How dare he utter such treasonous words?"

"He's truly eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall!"

"Not taking the Four Great Sects seriously — this is the least funny joke I've ever heard!"

Discussion buzzed on all sides, while Zhao San and Ji Changyun were overjoyed — they had originally wanted to throw a few obstacles in the Lin Family's way, but they never expected this Clan Leader of the Lin Family to bring trouble upon himself.

Elder Jin Long's face turned green with rage.

He had thought Lin Feng was backing down, never expecting him to say such a thing!

"How dare you!"

Zhao San rushed forward excitedly and roared, shouting: "Do you know what you're saying? Disrespecting the Haoqi Sect — you're seeking death!"

Lin Feng's gaze turned cold, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and then the Tianhong Sword appeared in his hand.

A flash of sword light swept past.

In the blink of an eye, Elder Jin Long's pupils contracted sharply.

He darted to Zhao San's side and pulled him aside to dodge — although the reaction could be called godlike in speed, it was still a fraction too slow.

A thin red line appeared on Zhao San's throat.

Blood gushed out in a steady stream.

He could no longer speak — opening his mouth only brought up blood.

At this, no one dared speak out of turn again.

Ji Changyun retreated step after step, hiding behind the crowd.

Lin Feng struck without a word of warning — clearly he truly did not take them seriously.

The Lin Family fears no one!

Every Lin Family junior held their head up proudly — from this day forth, their Lin Family will fear no one.

So what if he struck right in front of the Haoqi Sect Elder?

A look of admiration rose in the Grand Steward's eyes.

Decisive, ruthless — this is the Lin Family's current Clan Leader.

And his Cultivation has already reached the Enlightenment Realm Ninth Layer!

Such a person — I must find a chance to report to the State Governor.

If he can be taken in as an obedient dog, then the Lin Family may be spared.

If not, the Lin Family will be a great thorn in our side…

"Lin Feng!"

Elder Jin Long flared up in fury, swiftly tapping out a finger to seal Zhao San's acupoints.

Although his life was saved, Zhao San would likely be mute for the rest of his life.

"A pity, my aim was a bit off." Lin Feng said with considerable regret.

From start to finish, there was not the slightest trace of Elder Jin Long in his eyes.

"Today, I will surely slay you, this overbearing wretch!"

Elder Jin Long roared, and surging waves of Spirit Qi instantly billowed from his body.

The power of Wudao Realm Eighth Level erupted in an instant.

The mere overflow of his aura forced everyone nearby to their knees in submission.

"Enough nonsense, this Clan Leader has long found you an eyesore!"

Lin Feng gave a cold laugh. Since the cards were on the table, there was no more pretending.

His sword tip lightly touched the ground, dense Sword Dao radiance contained within it.

A mere Elder of Haoqi Sect — today he'll kill one more to raise the Lin Family's fame!

Just then, Pill Master Gu Dan of Xuntian Sect immediately descended.

He positioned himself between the two; if he didn't intervene now, today would end in rivers of blood.

"Jin Long, have the four great sects forgotten the rule that we may not interfere in the Hundred Clans Assembly?" Pill Master Gu Dan said coldly.

The moment he spoke, Elder Jin Long couldn't help but pause slightly. He glanced guiltily at the Grand Steward, only to see the latter's face shifting between dark and light.

"Lin Clan Leader, let today's matter end here!"

Toward Lin Feng, Pill Master Gu Dan's tone carried several more notes of pleading.

The Hundred Clans Assembly happens once every ten years — letting it turn out like this would be hard to wrap up.

The Lin Family has already shown its edge, made its name, killed the Yun Family people, and vented its anger.

If this drags on, it won't be good for anyone.

"Hmph! If you want this matter dropped, it's not impossible."

At this moment, Elder Jin Long's eyes rolled. Face full of killing intent, he pressed: "Hand over your Lin Family's Three Heroes to me, and the Lin Family disowns them — then I'll spare your Lin Family."

Hearing this, Lin Yan and Lin Xuan's faces instantly changed.

Zhao San grew even more agitated, cooing wildly, fresh blood gushing from his mouth and spilling across the ground.

He clearly wanted to stop Elder Jin Long.

But plans can't keep up with change — Elder Jin Long's ties with the Zhao Family were only so-so. If he could take in the Lin Family's Three Heroes, what would he need the Zhao Family for?

"Well? Three lives in exchange for your Lin Family's peace and safety — quite the bargain, wouldn't you say?"

Elder Jin Long stared at Lin Feng, killing intent fully revealed in his eyes.

But Lin Feng merely smiled contemptuously. He looked at Elder Jin Long with unusual seriousness and said: "You cur, if you want to come at me then come!"

"Dragging out all this nonsense, and you want my Lin Family to hand people over? Have you been popping too many pills!"

These curses instantly made quite a few people snort with laughter.

Elder Jin Long's calculating beads were practically bouncing off people's faces, and he still thought he had the moral high ground?

Lin Feng's furious cursing instead made the people of Yao Sect and Qingyun Sect curl their lips, feeling immensely satisfied.

Only Elder Jin Long's face turned iron-blue.

"You damned little brat, you dare insult this Elder? Fine — today I'll kill you first, then flatten the Lin Family!" The Elder cursed back as well. He gritted his teeth and was about to step forward, but at that moment, a strand of Spirit Qi locked onto him.

The Grand Steward descended slowly, a hint of displeasure hidden in those cloudy eyes of his.

"Enough!"

Those two brief words quelled the dispute.
