Chapter 771: 771 Lin Fanyin! [1st update]

The reason the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither is the leader of the Three Ancient Zithers is that it combines the attack effects of the Withered Wood Dragon Chant Zither and the defense and healing effects of the Primordial Lost Sound Zither.

But if one possesses both the Withered Wood Dragon Chant Zither and the Primordial Lost Sound Zither simultaneously, they can indeed neutralize the power of the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither.

Lin Baiwei’s face turned terribly grim: "That auction... it was you!"

She failed to secure the Withered Wood Dragon Chant Zither at the auction, and afterward, she sent people to investigate but found no clues.

This proves that there is a very powerful intelligence agency behind Ye Wanlan.

Lin Baiwei deduced this in just half a second.

The 723 Bureau!

No wonder all the information she gathered on Ye Wanlan was mostly mundane, as important details had already been wiped clean.

Well played, Ye Wanlan!

The people of the Lin Family who retreated to the side opened their eyes wide in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

Who doesn’t know the importance of the Three Ancient Zithers to the Heavenly Sound Sect and the Lin Family?

"The Withered Wood Dragon Chant Zither and the Primordial Lost Sound Zither are both in Ye Wanlan’s hands, and she can play the zither!"

"How old is she this year? Not even twenty, right? When the Patriarch was twenty, he didn’t have her prowess."

"Nonsense, didn’t you see that she couldn’t beat the Patriarch at all?"

"Wow, playing two zithers simultaneously, this feat is recorded in the Lin Family annals as something only the Sect Leader Fanyin could accomplish!"

"If Ye Wanlan were the Patriarch of the Lin Family, then we wouldn’t have to go to war with the other Four Great Families..."

Most of them did not want to stir up a war, as Shenzhou had been peaceful for a century.

If civil strife erupts now, what if the Global Center seizes the opportunity?

"A clever tactic." Lin Baiwei stared at Ye Wanlan, "You took out the Withered Wood Dragon Chant Zither and the Primordial Lost Sound Zither just to win over hearts."

"With hearts unsettled, how can one win them over?" Ye Wanlan replied calmly, "If you only thought of the Lin Family’s development, I would not move against you."

Lin Baiwei’s strength was formidable; under her tutelage, the people of the Lin Family were the most diligent among the Five Great Families.

However, she walked the wrong path, used incorrect methods.

"Ignorant child, how could you understand me?" Lin Baiwei tightened her grip, "I am not working for the Lin Family, but for Shenzhou!"

Since ancient times, the trend of division and union has prevailed, long divisions must unite, long unions must divide.

Only by uniting the power of the Five Great Families can we resist other forces itching to move.

Thus, she must subdue the other Four Great Families, regardless of the casualties!

"The principle of stabilizing the interior first before repelling the exterior, you won’t understand." Lin Baiwei’s expression was cold, "I will not change my plans and ideas, and if you block me, you are a sinner of Shenzhou."

"Zheng Zheng!"

The sound of the zither rose again, the offensive stronger.

Ye Wanlan’s gaze did not waver, her hands also playing both the Withered Wood Dragon Chant Zither and the Primordial Lost Sound Zither simultaneously.

Compared to Lin Baiwei’s anger and impulsiveness, she appeared much calmer.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Neither played any of the top ten ancient zither tunes, merely engaged in a simple sound wave duel, straightforward yet violent.

But under the clash of their powers, not a single person of the Lin Family could withstand it; everyone had already retreated again and again.

From afar, only could one see the golden light of the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither, the white light of the Primordial Lost Sound Zither, and the green light of the Withered Wood Dragon Chant Zither continuously colliding.

One sound after another, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Three hundred years ago, the clash of Jianghu experts hasn’t surpassed the current scene.

"Ye Wanlan, I admit, your talent exceeds mine, far surpassing that of your grandmother Lin Weilan." Lin Baiwei laughed coldly, "But your cultivation time is ultimately too short. Had you the cultivation of three hundred years, I would have been defeated by you in the first round."

Ye Wanlan did not respond.

Indeed, she experienced a time loop lasting nine hundred ninety-nine years.

But because at midnight each day, everything except her memories would be reset, her cultivation couldn’t be preserved.

All things considered, in this lifetime, she had only cultivated for about twenty years.

Even though she gained greater power by slaying two Time Punishers and one Time Judge, compared to Lin Baiwei’s three hundred years of cultivation, she was still a bit lacking.

Lin Baiwei’s smile was sinister, her inner strength gathering again: "Let your blood commemorate the great undertaking I am about to complete!"

The stage was set, she finally played the last note.

"Boom——!"

As the center point of their battlefield, within ten miles, buildings, flowers, trees, rockeries, streams... were flattened in an instant!

The immensity of this power was clear.

All the lights vanished in an instant, the sandstorm rolled, obscuring vision.

When everything settled, a scene of blood met the eye.

Blood flowed steadily down from Ye Wanlan’s left chest, where it still was a mass of flesh and blood.

Upon seeing this, an odd glint flashed in Lin Baiwei’s eyes.

This move, with eighty percent of her strength, could indeed break through the defense and attack of the Primordial Lost Sound Zither and the Withered Wood Dragon Chant Zither.

Yet Ye Wanlan’s capabilities supposedly should not have made such a grave mistake, how could she leave herself open to attack and take the brunt with her most vulnerable spot?

If it were someone else, they wouldn’t think of this, only believing their strength surpassed Ye Wanlan’s, that she had given up her struggle, and even mocked her.

But Lin Baiwei would not.

Within mere seconds, she realized the crucial point.

Ye Wanlan was definitely plotting something by trading her injury for this hit, even if Lin Baiwei totally did not comprehend her reasons, but there is certainly a trick behind the anomaly!

In an instant, Lin Baiwei withdrew her inner strength, immediately retreating.

Ye Wanlan raised her head, blood still flowing down her lips, dripping and shocking.

But she seemed to feel no pain, even smiled slightly, uttering two light words: "Too late."

"Buzz Buzz!"

Space shook again, the golden, white, and green lights rose anew.

At this moment, Lin Baiwei found all connections between her and the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither severed!

Three hundred years ago, she hadn’t succeeded in having the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither recognize her.

Throughout these three hundred years, she still couldn’t, but fortunately, she found a method to forcibly use the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither for a short time.

The shichen had not yet passed, how could the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither defy her command?

Moreover, to her horror, all the Three Ancient Zithers began to play autonomously.

As if an invisible hand was gently plucking the strings.

"What is this..."

Lin Baiwei’s body was frozen in the air by the strong spatial tremors, unable to retreat, nor advance to directly kill Ye Wanlan.

The light grew ever stronger, and a misty figure slowly coalesced.

At this moment, the ancient music crescendoed.

"Zheng!"
