Chapter 355: With Zhong, You Call Yourself a Celestial King; Without Zhong, You’ll Be Begging for Your Life!
Lin Ruoxi’s words immediately froze the guards in their place. For the first time, they felt the sting of undeniable truth.
“Hmm? Could it be that I am mistaken?”
Lin Ruoxi frowned, sensing something amiss.
Could it be that my mother did not crush those people?
“Madam, it is like this.”
The guard hesitated, cursing the situation inwardly.
Don’t you realize the pitiful lineup? How could they withstand the combined efforts of several Sages?
“Hmph… This is within my expectations!”
Lin Ruoxi insisted stubbornly, “Even if they couldn’t win, surely holding them off would have been effortless, right?”
“It’s not possible!”
The guard exhaled, ready to tell the truth.
“This isn’t possible, that isn’t possible, so what actually happened? Are you mute or something?”
Upon hearing this, the guard lost his pretense, standing upright: “Madam, they are dead!”
Lin Ruoxi froze momentarily, blurting out: “Who died?”
“Your mother is dead!”
“Blasphemy! You cursed dog servent, how dare you curse my mother. Why don’t you dare to speak even bolder!”
“Fine, I won’t keep secrets then. The truth is, your entire Lin family that went to the battlefield has perished. I swear on my life; every word I’ve said is the truth!”
Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes back and faintly gasped, collapsing unconscious.
“Madam! Madam!”
Li Congxin rushed forward immediately, tightly holding Lin Ruoxi in his arms, and questioned the guard: “Is what you said true?”
“Absolutely true, no falsity whatsoever!”
“Indeed, it’s… too tragic!”
Li Congxin himself hadn’t noticed, but an involuntary smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
Although he truly loved his wife, Lin Ruoxi always relied on her family’s power, maintaining an arrogant demeanor. This left him, the husband, feeling quite suppressed.
Now that her mother’s family was gone, Lin Ruoxi had lost her support. Once she woke up, she’d truly have no choice but to bow her head, just like anyone else under the eaves.
He could guarantee that from now on, if he told Lin Ruoxi to go east, she wouldn’t dare to go west. The prospect of such control thrilled him immensely!
“Someone! Since the rulers of the Lin family are entirely gone, my wife is the sole inheritor!”
“Quickly, head to the Lin family estate and take control of their treasures. Absolutely ensure no other vermin gets the chance!”
Upon his words, even the people of the Profound Sky Hall showed blatant disdain.
Li Congxin called others “vermin” because he himself was the biggest rat!
After dispatching the servants, Li Congxin, thinking about his soon-to-be-docile wife and the upcoming influx of wealth, couldn’t help but hum softly in satisfaction.
“Leader of the household, do you think we should announce this matter to illustrate their barbarity?”
Someone suddenly asked.
“Does that even need asking? Of course, we must! Only by doing so will more people grow fearful, making it easier for us to make enemies with them!”
“Let the title of the announcement be– The monster that has eradicated the Lin family!”
“Understood!”
After receiving the order, the Li family’s warriors quickly departed.
“Explore continuously, monitor the battlefield situation closely. Any sign of movement must be reported to me.”
…
Central Continent, Profound Yin Mountains!
The clash between two mighty forces had led them here, causing a darkened sky.
Zhou Tong no longer directed his men to attack in unison because that would cause the enemies to collapse too quickly. Instead, he chose the mode of general combat!
Even when acting a part, one must play their role completely; otherwise, the characters like the Xuanwu Clan would become mere background.
At this moment, the opponents were none other than Zhou Tong’s disciple and his daughter!
Zhong Ningxue deployed the God-King Gu in twenty forms and entered the state of Three Elements Unification, yet she was merely evenly matched with Lan Tian.
Bear in mind, Lan Tian was only at the Fourth Layer of Half-Sage cultivation at this time, whereas Zhong Ningxue, in this state, could defeat ordinary warriors at the Seventh Layer of Half-Sage.
Given that their current match was perfectly balanced, it was clear that Lan Tian possessed deeper potential.
Though Zhong Ningxue was at the top tier of the cultivation boundary for her level, Lan Tian as the embodiment of Laws could fight across levels, showing great ease.
“Are you the disciple of my Father, King? You seem rather unimpressive. I don’t think you deserve to be his disciple!”
Lan Tian was the first to launch a psychological attack.
“Hmph… You understand nothing. I haven’t even used my full strength. If I had, I would have crushed you already!”
“Hahaha… You big talker, don’t mention it. I haven’t used my full strength either. Who knows who will win eventually?”
After hearing these words, Zhong Ningxue lost her composure.
She, as the most “cherished” younger generation, couldn’t be surpassed by someone who claimed Zhong as his father. It was absolutely unforgivable!
Just as they were about to go all out, Zhou Tong noticed they had arrived above the Profound Yin Mountain.
“Great opportunity, this farce should end. Mirror, strike quickly and remove their weapons!”
“I’ve been waiting for this!”
The four Slashing麟 Mirrors, in a frenzied state, unleashed a silver circle that took away all weapons from the opposing camp, including the base of their formations!
With that, the Great Xuanwu Formation immediately collapsed, sending the opposition into chaos.
“Brilliant!”
Zhou Tong was handling the obtained weapons when he suddenly saw a jade bell. This sight made his pupils contract sharply.
“Trouble!”
Just as he raised his head, he saw Lan Tian unleashing her utmost speed, rushing toward her old “father”!
