Ahh Han Yunchong screamed in agony as he looked at his right hand that had been mangled beyond recognition. The excruciating pain caused his face to alternate between shock and anger. He couldnt believe what he saw.

His released aura alone was able to counter my attack and wound me.

Han Yunchong had seen a lot and been through many hardships ever since he started his cultivation journey. He could be regarded as a ruthless, bloodthirsty character, but he had to admit that he had never seen something so unbelievably terrifying.

In the blink of an eye, an ordinary-looking young man transformed into a god of war and wounded him, an upper Heaven Ascension cultivator. Ifif he told someone what he saw, no one would likely believe him, right?

It became utterly silent and still.

Only qi continued to roar around Lin Xuns body.

At that moment, he resembled an awakened dormant dragon. His black eyes were like abysses, radiating a cold and deep sheen. His body was covered with divine brilliance and Dao Ripple, adding an ethereal air around him like that of an immortal.

He...how could he be so strong? Ye Lingtong should have been ecstatic, but she, instead, was overwhelmed with shocked disbelief.

Hes so strong!

The feeling was akin to watching an ordinary youngster transform into a God of War and stand above the nine heavens, displaying his might.

That kind of strength was beyond Ye Lingtongs comprehension. She couldnt imagine how a youngster could defeat Han Yunchongs blow with just his aura alone.

Han Yunchong was an expert of the upper Heaven Ascension Stage! He was a fierce character of the older generation who had earned a great reputation in the East Sea decades ago!

Unfortunately, such an unbelievable situation had happened to him.

Ye Lingtong thought she was dreaming if she hadnt repeatedly confirmed it was the reality.

The youngster turns out to be a master in disguise! Ye Dongkes countenance also changed.

A truly talented individual never showed off their true skills!

The servants froze to the spot, eyes wide and jaws hung open.

That was Lin Xuns current power.

Given his present strength, he could be called a king of the Heaven Ascension Stage, able to suppress all enemies at the same cultivation stage!

As for Han Yunchong, he might be regarded as a top figure in the Ziyao Empire, but in Lin Xuns eyes, he was inferior to even Qing Yunyang, whom he regarded as a mediocre saint!

Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Han Clan!? Han Yunchongs face was livid and solemn, but he didnt dare to make another rash move.

The young man opposite him had suddenly become his number one enemy.

Lin Xun frowned. What Han Clan? All I know is that you want to kill people to silence them. If thats the case, then why are you still talking so much nonsense?

Someone had ruined his rare moment of peace. How would he not be annoyed?

What he couldnt tolerate the most was that Han Yunchong wanted to kill even him, an outsider. It seemed too tyrannical and unnecessary.

He could imagine Han Yunchong indiscriminately getting rid of anyone who accidentally stumbled into his killings.

Perhaps, this is just a misunderstanding. If you reveal your identity and can prove that you have nothing to do with this matter, I will promise, in the name of the East Sea Han Clan, that I will not make things difficult for you again. Han Yunchong took a deep breath before he continued in a deep voice, Friend, you must also know that no one dares to oppose the Han Clan in the East Sea region.

His words were akin to an iron hand in a velvet glove. It was oozing with threats and warnings. Anyone who wasnt an idiot could tell what he truly meant.

Young Master, the old bastard is bluffing. In the East Sea, my Ye Clan is also not afraid of the Han Clan, Ye Dongke suddenly interrupted.

He turned to face Lin Xun and gave a cupped fist salute. In my opinion, that old bastard has disrespected you and he is now trying to threaten you. You shouldnt tolerate his despicable attitude. I hope you dont hold back and eliminate him right now!

Young master, please rest assured that the Ye Clan will take full responsibility for his death, and we will guarantee that you wont suffer retaliation from the Han Clan under our protection!

It was clear that Ye Dongke wanted to borrow Lin Xuns hand to kill Han Yunchong and promised that, in the name of the East Sea Ye Clan, he wouldnt suffer trouble in the future as a result.

Han Yunchongs expression changed slightly. Friend, the Ye Clan can protect you for a while, but they cant protect you for a lifetime. I hope you consider it carefully!

How difficult will it be? Given the young masters strength, he can easily join the Ye Clan and serve as a guest elder. We will be a family then. Lets see if your Han Clan will dare to get revenge then! Ye Dongke had regained his composure, and even took the opportunity to recruit Lin Xun into the East Sea Ye Clan.

In his view, given the background and power of the Ye Clan in the East Sea, the role of a guest elder would attract countless experts from all over the world.

If he could recruit a top young expert such as Lin Xun into the Ye Clan, then it would be worth the effort.

He believed that Lin Xun would feel his sincerity as long as he knew about the Ye Clans background.

Did you think I helped out to obtain some benefits from your Ye Clan? Lin Xun snorted, his dark eyes turning cold.

Ye Dongkes expression changed slightly. Of course not. I just want to seek fortune for you. After all, cultivation also requires resources. Given your strength, if you join the Ye Clan, you will no doubt have the Ye Familys full support.

Lin Xuns expression grew increasingly cold.

Ye Lingtong palpitated as she watched on.

Then, she hurriedly said aloud, Cousin, dont say any more!

Ye Dongke was taken aback at first, but he also noticed Lin Xuns cold attitude and immediately went silent. He donned an apologetic expression and dared not utter another word.

They still needed to rely on Lin Xuns power to get out of trouble, so how would they dare to offend him?

Since this friend doesnt want to have anything to do with the Ye Clan, he must have thought over it clearly and doesnt want to get involved in this matter. Han Yunchong smiled confidently. Friend, if you leave now, I guarantee that the Han Clan wont make things difficult for you!

His one sentence made Ye Dongke and the others turn pale.

Lin Xuns attitude was a little cold, and he seemed annoyed by Ye Dongkes suggestion. Would he choose to protect himself and avoid the little storm as Han Yunchong said?

Ye Lingtong was trembling anxiously as she looked imploringly at Lin Xun and complained about Ye Dongkes recklessness in her heart.

How could he think about using the role of a guest elder to recruit the young master at such a time? Does he want to add more chaos to the situation?

Also, what makes him think the remarkable youngster would be tempted to be recruited by the Ye Clan as a guest elder?

He is so stupid!

Lin Xun ignored Ye Lingtongs gaze. He found it absurd as he looked at the confident look on Han Yunchongs face.

The Han Clan of the East Sea?

He had offended many high clans and sects in the Forbidden City, so why would he be afraid of a clan in the East Sea?

Moreover, he had slaughtered countless saints in the Spirit Burial Sea. Had he ever shown a tinge of fear towards the clans behind those saints?

Most importantly, he was different from the past. He had met true Saints. He had seen many Saint corpses in the Deva Secret Realm. He had been viciously pursued by many Life Death Stage Kings yet he was still living leisurely.

With that kind of experience, when he heard about Ye Dongkes proposal and Han Yunchongs threat, he understandably found it very...absurd.

Under the gaze of Lin Xuns cold eyes, Han Yunchongs heart trembled nervously and he couldnt help but say, Well friend, do you really plan to stubbornly go your own way and disregard the Han Clan? You must know that even Cyclic Derivation cultivators in the East Sea dont dare to disrespect the Han Clan.

Is that right? Lin Xuns voice sounded somewhat ice-cold.

He thought the guy had a death wish to be still threatening him with the power of the Han Clan.

Friend, what exactly do you want? Han Yunchongs expression changed slightly as if he realized his situation wasnt good.

Its very simple. An eye for an eye. Lin Xun grinned, showing his white teeth. Just now you launched a palm strike at me, so now I should do the same. If you can block it, then I will leave immediately!

You Han Yunchong was about to say something when Lin Xun stretched out his right hand.

His hand was slender and fair, circulating with faint azure Dao Ripple like it was polished from azure stones.

Han Yunchong subconsciously let out an enraged roar as he sensed an indescribable feeling of danger surge in his heart. Blood and qi started to riot in his body and his clothes torn into pieces, revealing his tough, bronzed body. Waves of blazing aeth power spread out from him, making it obvious that he had become much stronger.

It was the Great Bronze Spirit Demon Art, a remarkable defense art. It could defend against mountains and was impenetrable to swords and spears. Even aeth tools could only cause scratches under the power of such an art.

Do you think I would be afraid of a little guy? Han Yunchong thundered like a mighty god, causing the sea area to vibrate.

Ye Lingtong and Ye Dongke turned ashen-faced. Even if they had great confidence in Lin Xun, they couldnt help but feel helpless and terrified after witnessing Han Yunchongs power. They felt like ants looking up at an enraged god!

Rumble!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun thrust his palm forward. The air boomed violently and the earth quaked, as though an ancient giant was lifting a sacred mountain or a Saint was pushing the sun and the moon.

It was the third transformation of the secret artBian Stamp!

A dazzling azure palm shot out from the air and crashed down. Under the giant palm, Han Yunchong seemed particularly tiny.
