Chapter 429: Want to Put on a Show

Not long after Huo Shui Xian left, Lin Yang, who was sitting indoors cultivating, felt a surge of restlessness.

He opened his eyes and involuntarily furrowed his brows.

Upon reaching the Golden Core Stage, he felt some vague intuition.

He furrowed his brow, wondering, "Could the Jiang Clan have already sent people to the southwest?"

Thinking of this, he called An Ni Shang.

He asked her to bring his younger sister and the others, and to stay at his villa if there was nothing else.

If they encountered danger, they must definitely go to his villa.

There, they could turn danger into safety.

After hanging up the phone, that indescribable feeling in his heart still made him feel uneasy.

Thus, he called his younger sister again and gave her instructions.

Even Zhao Feiyan and the others, he called them one by one.

After finishing the calls, he closed his eyes again, but found he could not focus.

He simply stopped cultivating and walked out three steps.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he arrived before the Rooster-crowing Temple.

The Rooster-crowing Temple furrowed its brows, and many people set up stalls there to tell fortunes.

As Lin Yang passed by with a bewildered expression, they kept promoting themselves.

Lin Yang smiled slightly and entered the Rooster-crowing Temple.

Inside the Rooster-crowing Temple, the incense flourished.

Many people came to offer incense and pray for safety.

Lin Yang saw someone in the main hall coming to draw lots, and on a whim, he also went to draw a lot.

He entered the main hall and began drawing lots.

However, he differed from those who knelt to draw lots.

He stood, looking at the deity's statue, and began shaking the lot cylinder.

When a bamboo lot fell down, an old monk picked it up.

The old monk picked it up, glanced at it, and asked Lin Yang.

"Dare I ask, what do you, benefactors, seek today?"

Looking at the old monk, Lin Yang said.

"I don't know; on a whim, I came here to draw lots."

The monks standing around, upon hearing Lin Yang's words, all furrowed their brows.

How does this kid's speech sound like he's looking for trouble?

The monk in charge of discipline approached Lin Yang and intended to escort him out.

But Lin Yang felt no fear at all, and he asked the old monk.

"Do you mean to drive me out?"

The old monk shook his head and said.

"Your Excellency bears an extraordinary status, surrounded by purple aura; you must be a remarkable person."

"Even if you have not yet reached the peak, your future achievements will be limitless."

Upon hearing the old monk's words, Lin Yang suddenly felt that the old monk before him had some cultivation, which piqued his interest.

"Oh, is that so? Then tell me."

"How is my lot today?"

The old monk grasped the bamboo lot, looked at Lin Yang, and shattered it with a single force.

"If an ordinary person seeks love, this is the worst lot; those who are mutually affectionate will surely part."

"If an ordinary person seeks wealth, this is the top lot; although they will face hardships, they will ultimately succeed."

"But for your lot, I see only a single character."

Lin Yang asked curiously.

"What character?"

"Kill!"

"Kill your enemies, kill those who defy you, kill those who resist you!"

"However, benefactor, you have killed too many, your karmic debt is too great; even if it does not fall upon you,"

"your relatives will also bear the karmic consequences."

Upon hearing the old monk's words, Lin Yang narrowed his eyes.

"If there truly is karma in this world, why did my father, who once did good to others, end up with his family destroyed and himself dead?"

"If karma truly exists, how could my enemy live high and mighty?"

"If karma truly exists, how could villains be exalted while the good are only bullied?"

Saying this, he clenched his fist and crushed the bamboo tube in his hand.

The crushed bamboo tube sent shards flying, all of which embedded themselves into the door.

Some of those who had come to seek love were startled.

The woman nearest to him was also startled, staggering and almost falling.

The person following behind him was a foppish young noble.

He saw the woman almost fall from fright, and his eyes lit up.

This is a great opportunity for me to show off.

Who knows, maybe I can win Luo Xin's favor.

Thinking this, he shouted into the hall.

"Who brought this out? It almost scared Miss Luo!"

But no one paid him any attention.

Those monks in charge of the precepts were all nervously watching Lin Yang.

The strength Lin Yang showed was truly terrifying.

If he were to attack the abbot, they'd have to find a way to stop him.

Liu Song, with his big pompadour, seeing that no one paid him any attention, flew into a rage.

"You actually ignore me; do you know who I am?"

Seeing that still no one paid him any attention, he wanted to step forward and grab Lin Yang's shoulder.

Luo Xin, seeing this, wanted to settle the matter peacefully.

She said: "Liu Song, anyway I'm fine, let's just leave it at that."

As soon as Luo Xin spoke, Liu Song instantly got worked up.

He excitedly said: "This won't do!"

"No one can bully you in the slightest in my presence."

"If anyone does, no matter who they are, I will fight them to the death!"

When he was still reaching out to grab Lin Yang's shoulder.

In Lin Yang's hand, a long sword appeared.

Today, for some reason, he was feeling irritable.

"I don't believe in karma; I only trust the sword in my hand!"

"Injustices under heaven, I can settle with a single sword stroke."

"No matter the myriad karmic ties, I will sever them with one sword strike!"

"Why should my kin and friends bear the burden!"

Saying this, he slashed a sword backward.

Peerless sword Qi left a gully on the ground, then split the incense burner outside the door in two.

He said in a deep voice: "I don't believe in karma!"

Liu Song, who had originally wanted to step forward, upon seeing this scene, instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Who would have thought a single sword could possess such terrifying power.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought they were filming a movie.

Even Luo Xin was startled, she whispered.

"Liu Song, be careful not to get hurt, come back quickly."

Upon hearing this, Liu Song thought Luo Xin was worried about him, and instantly wanted to put on a show.

He mustered his courage and said to Lin Yang.

"Hey, it was you who shattered that thing just now, right?"

"Besides, your sword almost injured me, you know?"

Lin Yang turned to look at Liu Song, his eyes full of indifference.

"Something up?"

Being given that indifferent glance by Lin Yang, Liu Song was frightened to the core.

"That gaze, it's truly terrifying!"

At that moment, he felt as if Lin Yang were about to kill him.

But after glancing at Luo Xin beside him, he still mustered his courage and said.

"My name is Liu Song!"

"My family is in the mineral trade, you know?"

"Everyone knows that being in the mineral trade, besides money, requires connections."

He wanted to use that to pressure Lin Yang.

Lin Yang looked at him and said lightly.

"Scram!"

Liu Song, told to scram, flew into a rage.

"You actually told me to scram!"

"If you have the guts, leave your name; I'll make it impossible for you to stay in Jinling!"

Lin Yang looked at him and said indifferently.

"I'm Lin Yang; if you want to find me, you're welcome anytime."

"Lin Yang?"

Liu Song suddenly felt that name was somewhat familiar.

Just as he was wondering, he heard Luo Xin beside him let out an exclamation.

"He's the recently famous Lin Yang who single-handedly wiped out the Chen family?!"

Upon hearing that, Liu Song's face instantly turned deathly pale!
