Chapter 997: 906 Master Xuanfu Returns to His Heart

Tianxuan Realm, Yang Family.

In a secluded manor, Yang Yiwei, Yang Yixin, Yang Xueqing, and Yang Yulan were sitting inside a green stone pavilion, chatting about something.

"What? Descendants of the Lin Family appeared in the Mysterious Fire Realm? And they even used the Hanwu Black Tortoise Dharma Nature? A True Spirit attacked the Profound Yin Palace and was severely injured by Taoist Friend Shen from the Qianling Sect."

Yang Xueqing said in surprise.

"Indeed, there are several eyewitnesses to these two incidents, so there should be no mistake. It seems a centipede won’t topple over dead even when it’s stepped on, so many years have passed, several descendants of the Lin Family have reached the Mahayana Realm and have shown themselves in various realms, what are they up to?"

Yang Yiwei wondered aloud.

"Perhaps they are declaring their presence to their enemies? It’s not strange to occasionally discover descendants of the Lin Family, but for them to be so overt, that’s not quite normal."

Yang Yixin said with a puzzled expression.

"If I were a descendant of the Lin Family, I would definitely hide my identity, diligently cultivate to increase my strength, rather than popping up everywhere, unless it is to answer the call of my fellow clan members, or some sort of agreement. Yes, the descendants of the Lin Family appearing in various realms may be to respond to each other, they may want to converge together."

Yang Yulan analyzed.

"That possibility cannot be excluded. What’s the deal with this True Spirit? Did it really escape from the small world controlled by the Lin Family?"

Yang Yixin asked in confusion.

"Many Taoist friends received help in cultivating into True Spirits with Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruits in that small world, so it is not strange for True Spirits to emerge from a small world. Indeed, some eighth-rank Monster Beasts have escaped from the small world, but the motive of this particular True Spirit is unclear. First, it attacked the Mahayana from the Horned Dragon Clan and then attacked the Profound Yin Palace. Who will be its next target?"

Yang Yiwei said with curiosity.

"That’s unknown. Maybe it is gathering resources."

Yang Yulan guessed.

"Right now, it’s a time of chaos. I’ve already ordered strict checks on all cultivators entering our clan. Our Clan Protection Formation is not so easily breached."

Yang Yiwei said with a grave voice.

The other three, including Yang Xueqing, deeply agreed, as the gathering storm clouds made it important to ensure their own safety.

······

Chiming Realm, Chiming Clan.

In a tranquil manor, a tall and thin elderly man in green robes was sitting with a slender woman in white dress inside a green stone pavilion, discussing something.

"Where did all these descendants of the Lin Family come from?"

The man in green robes asked puzzledly.

Bo Sen, Great Vehicle Early Stage.

"I don’t know, it was quite sudden, and there are three True Spirits committing crimes everywhere. Ordinary Mahayana are no match for them."

The woman in white dress said, frowning.

Baoxue, Great Vehicle Early Stage.

Currently, the Chiming Clan only had two Mahayana members and dared not wander about in the turbulent Cultivation Realm.

A loud alarm sounded, the ground shook and the mountains trembled.

"What’s happening? Has a True Spirit come to kill us?"

Bo Sen turned pale with shock and leapt out.

A huge red light barrier enveloped half of the Chiming Mountain Range, on which the surface of the red light barrier was covered with profound runes, and numerous Chiming Clan cultivators rushed out of their homes in panic.

A large white dragon with a thick waist hovered high in the sky, with Master Xuanfu standing on the head of the white dragon, his expression cold.

Master Xuanfu had taken an Eighth Rank Elixir refined by Shen Long and had mostly recovered.

"May I ask where we have offended you?"

Bo Sen asked with a furrowed brow.

"Back in the day, you collaborated with the Blood Shadow Clan to exterminate my Lin Family. Today, I have come to settle the score with you—blood debt must be paid in blood."

Master Xuanfu’s tone was icy, his hands forming a spell, and a gigantic shadow of the Hanwu Black Tortoise materialized above his head.

"Dharma Nature of the Hanwu Black Tortoise! Descendants of the Lin Family."

Bo Sen’s complexion changed.

A thick beam of white light burst forth from the shadow of the Hanwu Black Tortoise, striking the red light barrier, which immediately frosted over, with the ice layer swiftly spreading.

The white dragon roared towards the heavens, spewing out a white sonic wave headed straight for the red light barrier.

At the same time, oversized white snowflakes drifted down from the void; before even touching the ground, they transformed into white ice spears, each a hundred yards long, charging directly at the red light barrier.

Bo Sen and Baoxue’s expressions drastically changed, and they both flew towards a tall peak, attempting to escape using the Transference Array.

The defense of the Chiming Clan’s Clan Protection Formation was still fairly strong and should withstand the onslaught for a while.

With thunderous booms, the red light barrier trembled violently, its spiritual light dimming.

The right claw of the white dragon struck the red light barrier, which caved in and shattered instantly.

A ripple spread above Bo Sen’s head in the void, as a gigantic white dragon claw materialized and slapped down directly towards him.

Almost simultaneously, a powerful gravitational force emanated from the ground, firmly rooting Bo Sen in place.

With no way to escape, Bo Sen spat out three round beads flickering with green light, which circled around him. A thick green light barrier appeared, enveloping his whole body.

The white dragon claw struck the green light barrier, causing it to cave in instantaneously, and it soon shattered, Bo Sen’s head was crushed to pieces. His corpse emitted a ray of green light, and transformed into a section of spirit wood that flickered with spiritual light, a substitution wood.

With a muffled sound, the spirit wood was shattered, and thousands of miles away in the void, a green light blossomed, revealing Bo Sen’s figure, his eyes filled with terror.

"A True Dragon? You’ve actually nurtured a True Dragon."

Bo Sen exclaimed in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

Elsewhere, a golden tower swept up Baoxue.

"Today is the day of doom for your Chiming Clan."

Master Xuanfu’s voice was as frosty as ever, as the right claw of the white dragon beneath him struck towards the void.

A ripple again spread in the void above Bo Sen’s head, as a gigantic white dragon claw materialized and slapped down towards him.

Just as Bo Sen tried to dodge, a seductive female voice rang out: "It would be better for you to surrender graciously!"

Hearing these words, Bo Sen’s gaze became dull, and many Chiming Clan Cultivators fell into an illusion.

The white dragon claw smashed Bo Sen into a mass of flesh, and the moment his Nascent Soul left the body, it was engulfed by a blue aurora and drawn into Shen Jiu’s mouth, swallowed down.

Shen Jiu opened his mouth and sprayed out a large expanse of blue aurora, enveloping some of the Chiming Clan Cultivators. Their Nascent Souls left their bodies and took flight, only to be swallowed down by the blue aurora drawn into Shen Jiu’s mouth.

In less than half an hour, not a single living Chiming Clan Cultivator could be seen here. Of course, a small number of Chiming Clan Cultivators managed to escape using the Transference Array, and that was intentional.

Shen Long flew in from a distant horizon, alighting in front of Master Xuanfu.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I am beyond grateful. From now on, my life is yours."

Master Xuanfu bowed deeply, expressing his gratitude.

After saying this, Master Xuanfu cried out loud. Years had passed, and he had longed for this moment, yet he lacked the strength to do so.

If it wasn’t for Shen Long’s intervention, Bo Sen and Baoxue might have had a chance to escape.

"When the time comes, I will definitely help you rebuild the Lin Family. But let’s deal with the urgent affairs first!"

Shen Long said with a smile.

He released Shen Ou and the others, allowing them to scavenge for resources.

An hour later, they left the place, and all the corpses of the Chiming Clan Cultivators had been consumed by Shen Ou and the others.

They left behind a green stone stele engraved with a row of large characters—’A blood debt must be paid in blood’, the words of the Descendants of the Lin Family.

This was a warning; the Descendants of the Lin Family were settling accounts with their enemies. Shen Long’s actions were meant to divert attention and also to vent Master Xuanfu’s pent-up anger, ensuring his loyalty.
