Chapter 146: Lin Taian's Shameless Conditions

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

The wind blades of the Nine Nether Sparrow were exceptionally sharp, like blades and swords, slicing through the bodies of many Lin Family cultivators, even cutting them in half at the waist.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two thousand Lin Family cultivators died miserably, their blood staining the earth red.

"Su Family, this Clan Guardian Spirit Beast is too powerful!"

"This giant bird is too heaven-defying; it is simply the nemesis of cultivators like us. No wonder the Su Family has been able to stand tall in the Donghua Continent for a million years without declining."

"With such a fierce beast guarding it, the Su Family can rest easy this time."

The crowd below was stunned, unable to help but gasp, their eyes filled with horror.

The ferocity of the Nine Nether Sparrow far exceeded their imagination; the Lin Family cultivators were simply unable to withstand a single blow.

"You wicked beast, how dare you!!!"

Seeing the Nine Nether Sparrow slaughter his own clansmen, Lin Taian was furious to the extreme, roaring repeatedly.

He held a long sword, stepped through the void, and transformed into a streak of thunderous lightning, heading straight for the Nine Nether Sparrow.

Swoosh!

Lin Taian flicked his arm lightly, and the long sword in his hand transformed into a shocking sword rainbow, carrying terrifying energy capable of tearing the firmament, and struck toward the Nine Nether Sparrow.

"Chirp~"

Facing Lin Taian's attack, the Nine Nether Sparrow exhaled two streams of hot air from its nostrils, its eyes flickering with a rich, ferocious, and bloodthirsty color. It opened its beak to emit a sharp cry, then flapped its wings and charged across.

Boom~

A violent roar resounded through the sky, and a cluster of scorching, dazzling white light suddenly surged out, illuminating half the firmament as if the sun had descended.

Against the backdrop of the white light, a sword radiance several dozen zhang long appeared, carrying the terrifying energy to split mountains and sever rivers, fiercely hacking at the wind blades formed by the Nine Nether Sparrow's giant wings, intending to extinguish the Nine Nether Sparrow's momentum.

"Hmph, mere petty tricks, and you dare to contend with this old man?"

Lin Taian sneered, his long sword continuing to hack, and one after another, sword radiances containing terrifying power slashed toward the wind blades.

Bang, bang, bang...

Many wind blades shattered inch by inch, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

However, beads of sweat seeped from Lin Taian's forehead; clearly, wielding the giant sword in his hand consumed a great deal of the Spiritual Qi within his body.

"Chirp!"

Seeing this, the Nine Nether Sparrow suddenly launched an attack, its speed incredibly fast, like a ghost, approaching Lin Taian in almost the blink of an eye.

Swish!

As one of its claws reached out, its sharp talons gleaming with cold light, it carved out beautiful, sorrowful arcs, attacking Lin Taian.

Just at this moment, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of Lin Taian's mouth, and he roared: "Close the net!"

As soon as his voice fell, the tens of thousands of Lin Family cultivators on the Flying Boat pulled on a white silk thread, continuously hauling it back.

Just as Qin Xinran and the others were confused, they suddenly discovered that at some point, a heaven-shaking net had appeared in the void.

And the net had already enveloped the Nine Nether Sparrow and Lin Taian inside!

"Oh no! Great-Granduncle is in danger!"

Seeing this, Qin Xinran felt a sense of foreboding and said, "Damn it, this Lin Taian is actually so insidious!"

However, the Nine Nether Sparrow was not panicked in the slightest; he knew that Lin Taian was the backbone of the Lin Family, and once he died, the Lin Family would scatter like beasts and birds.

"Go to hell!"

The moment its talons touched Lin Taian, it was as if it had grabbed tofu; it easily penetrated the protective spiritual aura and pierced into Lin Taian's chest.

"Hehe, did you really think you killed me? You stupid bird!"

Blood spilled from the corner of Lin Taian's mouth, and his face was as pale as paper, but he still revealed a cold sneer of a conspiracy fulfilled.

"What do you mean?" Hearing this, the Nine Nether Sparrow immediately sensed something was wrong.

This Lin Taian was, after all, an expert at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm; how could he be killed by himself so easily?

He looked at the Lin Family members on the Flying Boat and indeed discovered the clue.

No one on their faces showed any sorrow or fear; instead, they were still pulling the net!

Immediately following, Lin Taian's voice resounded in the void once again.

"Stupid bird! Is this Head of the Family really so easy to kill?"

Suddenly, another Lin Taian appeared on the Flying Boat. Glancing at the corpse of Lin Taian in his hand, the Nine Nether Sparrow seemed to realize it had been tricked.

Lin Taian had used a clone at the late stage of the Quasi-Emperor Realm to deceive it.

It was all to lure it into the big net.

The Nine Nether Sparrow's eyes shifted unpredictably, its gaze scanning the surroundings, trying to find a way to escape.

"Chirp~"

He roared in anger, his eyes blood-red, and he suddenly flapped his giant wings. Instantly, countless wind blades attacked the big net, wanting to cut through the net that had trapped him.

"Bang, bang, bang."

When the wind blades approached the big net, it was as if they had struck an incredibly hard iron wall, blocked by layers of soft white material.

This was a Secret Treasure passed down by the Lin Family for millions of years, made from three special materials; it could not only seal fierce beasts below the Great Emperor Realm but also seal the Heavenly Emperor Spiritual Qi within them.

Only a powerful being whose strength reached the Great Emperor Realm could forcibly break the Spirit-Restricting Net.

Therefore, as the Nine Nether Sparrow flapped its giant wings, it felt the surrounding Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth become somewhat thinner.

"Hahaha, stop struggling like a trapped beast; it's useless!"

"Seal for me!!!"

Lin Taian looked up and laughed, his palm suddenly gripping the net lines. The big net erupted with an even more brilliant white glow, rapidly shrinking and imprisoning the Nine Nether Sparrow within the net.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Immediately following, a series of collapsing sounds came from the Nine Nether Sparrow's massive wings, and dense cracks appeared, covering the entire wings, which was hair-raising.

"Chirp~~~"

The painful wail resounded through the void, deafening; the Nine Nether Underworld Sparrow's tragic cries made everyone's bodies tremble and their pretty faces turn incomparably pale.

This was the Nine Nether Underworld Sparrow, a terrifying existence possessing the strength of a peak Quasi-Emperor, yet it was actually trapped by Lin Taian using a special large net, unable to escape, and was being tortured into shrill, miserable screams.

It must be said that this Lin Taian was also a ruthless man; he did not hesitate to use his own late-stage Quasi-Emperor avatar as bait—this method was far too vicious.

"Head of the Family Lin, please show mercy! Let my Martial Uncle-Grandmaster go."

At this moment, Qin Xinran could no longer care about saving face and hurriedly cupped her hands to plead with Lin Taian.

"Heh, let it go?"

Lin Taian curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a sinister smile as he said, "If it weren't for your son Su Chen, my Feng'er would not have come here, and even less would he have lost his Great Treasure Sword. I, Lin Taian, only have this one son!"

Having said that, he looked down at Qin Xinran and the several women beside her, his eyes incomparably bloodshot, filled with monstrous hatred.

"I still ask that Head of the Family Lin show mercy and let my Martial Uncle-Grandmaster go. You may name any condition; as long as my Su Family can do it, we will certainly satisfy you."

Hearing this, Qin Xinran remained standing in place, cupping her hands to plead with Lin Taian.

"Heh, if the Su Family Matriarch wants this old man to release this silly bird, it is not impossible."

Seeing that Qin Xinran was single-mindedly trying to rescue the Nine Nether Underworld Sparrow, Lin Taian revealed a lecherous look and said, "The condition is that you immediately lead the entire Su Family to surrender to my Lin Family, and you and your daughters-in-law must become this old man's concubines to help my Lin Family continue its lineage."
