Back when they were on Blood Kill Battlefield, Zhao Xingye had agreed to let Lin Xun come with her if she went to ask for an explanation from the Qin Clan.

And tonight, Zhao Xingye and Lin Xun came together.

The bewildered expressions and stunned reactions on the faces of the big shots of the Qin Clan made it clear that Qin Chu hadnt told the Qin Clan of what he had promised on the Blood Kill Battlefield.

However, this was irrelevant. Lin Xun came to watch Zhao Xingye ruthlessly slaughter the Qin Clan. He didnt care about the other things.

Half an hour later.

With a satisfied smile, Lin Xun left the Qin Clans residence with Zhao Xingye.

As for the Qin Clan, bursts of angry roars mixed with the shatter of teacups erupted from their residences, which could be heard from afar.

Lin Xuns smile widened.

During the negotiation, the important figures of the Qin Clan all turned green in the face when they heard that Qin Chu was going to donate all the wealth and power of the clan to the empire. Every one of them almost went berserk with rage.

However, they didnt dare to protest in front of Zhao Xingye and had no choice but to contain their anger. Lin Xun couldnt help but grin at the thought of their dark and aggrieved faces.

In the end, under Zhao Xingyes high-handed attitude, the Qin Clan paid a heavy price.

In terms of gold coins alone, they donated tens of millions. Additionally, they also contributed one hundred thousand high-grade aeth crystals and promised to mobilize an army of tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Qin Clan to fight on the Blood Kill Battlefield.

They paid a tremendous price!

Even though the Qin Clan was a high clan of the empire, the amount they donated was no different from taking a chunk of flesh from their body.

Little guy, are you satisfied? There was a faint smile on Zhao Xingyes plump red lips, and her big and charming eyes shone brightly.

But Qin Chu still failed to fulfill his promise after all, sighed Lin Xun.

Zhao Xingye rolled her eyes. You need to learn to be content. The Qin Clan is a high clan of the empire after all. I don't even dare to push them too far. Its impossible to make the Qin Clan contribute all their wealth and powers willingly, unless

Unless what?

Unless you have the power beyond a Life Death Stage King!

I

Lin Xun narrowed his black eyes and said after a while, It seems like I will have to solve this matter myself in the future.

Then Ill look forward to hearing your good news, said Zhao Xingye half-heartedly.

To transcend the Life Death Stage, a cultivator had to set foot onto the longevity tribulations path. Given Lin Xuns current cultivation stage, there was still a long road until he reached that level.

Based on Lin Xuns talent and foundation, she speculated that it would take him at least one hundred years to reach that level, only if he ran into no obstacles or problems along the way.

Lin Xun smiled and said nothing else.

Indeed, it was too early to talk about that, but if he had the power to overthrow the Zuo and Qin Clans in the future, he wouldnt hesitate to do so!

Mind Cleansing Peak.

After defeating Qing Zhe and demanding a huge amount of compensation from the Qin Clan with Zhao Xingye, Lin Xun seldom left the house and lived a low-profile life.

He was making preparations to go to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Nameless Pagoda, Broken Blade, No-Nonsense Bow, Biluo Arrow...I have to always carry these treasures. He organized the treasures he had harvested over the years.

After going through them, he came to realize that he had accumulated many rare treasures over the years.

Among them were precious rune materials, rare elixirs, and treasures looted from enemies

Of course, there were also some treasures that he considered precious in the past, but now, they were nothing special in his eyes.

In the end, after careful filtering, he decided to keep the majority of the treasures in the Lin Clan for use by other clansmen.

As for himself, he only kept the Nameless Pagoda, the Broken Blade, the No-Nonsense Bow and the Biluo Arrow. Additionally, there were two other secret treasures stored within the Nameless Pagoda: the Heaven Sealing Trident and the Disorderly Devastation Ruler.

They were secret treasures of the Dragon Whale Clan and the Jade Qilin Clan of the Spirit Burial Sea respectively!

Even though the two treasures had been suppressed in the Nameless Pagoda, they were still fighting to break free. So far, they could not be tamed and appeared extremely mysterious.

Lin Xun had a hunch that he wouldnt be able to subdue them with his strength alone if he released them from the pagoda!

Fortunately, the Nameless Pagoda possessed miraculous powers, and its wonder-gold dao light had a restraining effect to suppress the treasures.

Theres also the refining gourd! Lin Xun exclaimed. He almost forgot about this treasure!

It was as bright and smooth as a piece of fine fire jade, and the surface emitted a spiritual glow as though wisps of divine flames were flickering around it.

On a closer look, one would discover mysterious and cryptic dao runes in ancient patterns such as flowers, birds, insects and fish. Each one seemed to be imbued with a natural intelligence like they were alive.

They were traces of the dao, known to be mysterious and unfathomable!

The refining gourd was an ancient treasure that Lin Xun obtained from the blood wasteland of the Ancient Spirit World, and it had remained undamaged since ancient times!

The mouth of the gourd was engraved with secret runes that resembled spiraling flames like it had been stamped with a fire seal.

Lin Xun already knew about the origin of the refining gourd when he got his hands on it. It came from an ancient sect called the Pure Land of Supreme Unity, and it had sealed a drop of purple blood within it.

Thinking of this, Lin Xun reddened with shame. The refining gourd and the drop of purple blood in it were both precious treasures that were unheard of.

But he almost forgot about them...

Bang!

He held the refining gourd in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally he couldnt help activating the secret rune seal at the mouth of the gourd once again.

A purple flame frantically gushed out, instantly incinerating the surrounding space and sending a terrifying wave of scorching heat across the area.

Lin Xun was used to seeing the spectacle so he calmly activated his spirit sense.

In the depths of the gourd, the single drop of purple blood rotated as it floated, emitting a magnificent glow and releasing a terrifyingly destructive aura. A bright spark seemed to be looming inside the drop of blood.

When Lin Xun first obtained the treasure, he was only at the Spirit Sea Stage and had a much weaker spirit than now. That was the reason his mind was shaken at the mere sight of the drop of purple blood.

But now, his cultivation had reached the Heaven Ascension Stage, and he had embarked on the supreme path. Even so, he still tensed up, and a chill ran through him when he attempted to sense the drop of purple blood.

It was unbelievable that a drop of blood could contain such boundless divine powers that had an oppressive and suffocating effect on people.

Boom!

A streak of bright light suddenly flashed out from the purple blood, striking Lin Xuns spirit sense.

Without any hesitation, Lin Xun activated the Sun Illumination and instantly obliterated the streak of light.

Almost at the same time, a cold and furious roar resounded.

Old Man Wujiu, when I break free, I will launch a blood bath on the Pure Land of Supreme Unity!

The voice sent a shudder through Lin Xuns mind-sea, but Lin Xun was prepared and didnt panic one bit.

Not long after that, he resealed the refining gourd and sank into deep thought.

He already knew that the drop of purple blood was from the heart of a terrifying great figure in ancient times and that it contained the dao truth of the owner of the purple blood.

Dao truth was a kind of mysterious power that contained the inheritance of the great dao according to the legend!

Old Man Wujiu of Pure Land of Supreme Unity extracted three thousand drops of heart blood from the owner of the purple blood to precisely destroy the will of the purple blood owner and seize the inheritance of the great dao.

The only certain thing was that the owner of the purple blood and Pure Land of Supreme Unity were mortal enemies, and the enmity between them had been created in ancient times and countless years had passed since then.

It might even be possible that the Pure Land of Supreme Unity had already been destroyed in that long period.

Its unfortunate that the aura contained in this drop of purple blood is too frightening. I likely wont be able to grasp the dao truths contained within it until I have reached the Cyclic Derivation Stage Lin Xun sighed as he put away the refining gourd.

Even without the drop of purple blood, the refining gourd wasnt ordinary, as indicated by the mysterious great dao inscription remaining undamaged and flawless despite being eroded by time.

Toady and Xia Zhi are going to leave with me.

After sorting out his treasures, he remembered that he had one more thing to do before he left, My priority now is to select someone to be in charge of Mind Cleansing Peak...

A few days later, Mind Cleansing Hall.

He summoned all the higher-ups of the Lin Clan and announced that Lin Huaiyuan would be taking care of Mind Cleansing Peak on his behalf in the future!

Lin Zhong and Spirit Vulture were to act as elders and assist Lin Huaiyuan in taking charge.

This was decided after a long discussion between Lin Xun, Lin Zhong, Spirit Vulture and others. Although Lin Huaiyuan had done some foolish things in the past, his ability and powers were undeniable.

Furthermore, he had already wholeheartedly promised to serve Lin Xun, so he was no doubt the most suitable candidate to take over Mind Cleansing Peak.

Moreover, with the help of Lin Zhong and Spirit Vulture, there shouldnt be any major problems.

Even so, the announcement shocked everyone, especially Lin Huaiyuan, who was struck dumb.

He had never thought that he would be selected, so he wasnt prepared at all!

He quivered all over. Emotions welled up inside him. Lin Xun trusted him so much that he let him take charge of the power of the Lin Clan. He almost struggled to form words around the lump in his throat.

He suddenly stood up, took a deep breath and solemnly swore, Patriarch, rest assured! I will definitely take care of our Lin Clan affairs! I promise there wont be any trouble or problems!

At that moment, even if Lin Xun wanted him to die, he would not wrinkle his brows.

Since the lord treats me as a scholar, I wont hesitate to repay him as a scholar! This was Lin Huaiyuans feelings at that moment!

After the announcement, all the higher-ups of the Lin Clan realized that their young patriarch would soon leave for the Ancient Wasteland Domain!
