“Run.”
The three evil cultivators behind Ye Lin saw this, roared, and turned to leave.
The situation was clear now; why stay here and wait for death?
“Sword Control Skill, Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun.”
Looking at the long sword in front of him, Ye Lin chuckled, stretched out his index finger, and lightly flicked the sword’s body. Instantly, Evil Slayer transformed into a streak of sword light and flew towards the three distant figures.
In a moment, the three bodies lay on the ground, completely lifeless.
“Senior Brother Ye.”
“Senior Brother Ye.”
At this moment, the surrounding Qingyun Sect Disciples bowed to Ye Lin. Now, they were completely convinced.
“You go and inform Shaoyang Sect. From now on, this Xuan Yong City will be under the jurisdiction of Shaoyang Sect.”
Ye Lin looked at the sky with his hands behind his back and said softly.
Since you don't care, then I will.
“Yes, Senior Brother Ye.”
Hearing this, the Qingyun Sect Disciples had nothing more to say. They just needed to obey orders. As for the consequences, what did it matter to them?
At this moment, a Disciple nearby took out a jade talisman and held it to his ear. A moment later, the Disciple’s expression turned ugly.
“What happened?”
Ye Lin turned and asked the Disciple.
“Senior Brother Ye, the Sect has summoned us back. I heard that the Long family has rebelled, and they have started attacking our Qingyun Sect’s cities.”
The Disciple said through gritted teeth. How dared a small Long family do such a thing?
“You all go back first. I’ll be there shortly.”
“Yes.”
After speaking, several figures departed.
“The Long family, how audacious.”
Ye Lin’s face was filled with a cold sneer.
The Long family’s actions clearly showed they had completely broken ties with the Qingyun Sect. And if someone said Mo Yi wasn’t stirring up trouble behind the scenes, he would be the first not to believe it.
Once the Long family started this, the other forces would also be unable to hold back. The major forces supported Personal Disciples for the spiritual mine.
Once the Saint position was confirmed, chaos would erupt across the land, and all major forces would take action.
The major forces’ goal was the spiritual mine, while Mo Yi’s goal was endless blood. Only in chaos could he act without restraint.
And Ye Lin’s goal was to guard the spiritual mine and suppress all those who defied him. At that time, the resources within would naturally be inexhaustible.
“Relatively speaking, this next month or so will be the final period of calm.”
Ye Lin’s gaze was calm. Before the Saint position was finalized, it truly was the last bit of peace.
“My current state is almost ready. After becoming the Saint, I’ll prepare to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Peak.”
“As long as I Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Peak, even in front of a Golden Core Stage cultivator, I can retreat safely.”
After speaking, Ye Lin stepped on Evil Slayer and flew towards the Qingyun Sect.
Upon reaching a canyon, Ye Lin suddenly stopped, hovering silently in mid-air.
“Come out.”
Ye Lin looked around, his expression calm.
“Hahaha, as expected of the Qingyun Sect’s number one young talent. We are impressed.”
At this moment, two figures emerged from the front of the canyon. Both were old men, stroking their beards and smiling as they looked at Ye Lin.
“This old man is the Grand Elder of Heaven Sword Sect, Jian Bo.”
“This old man is the Grand Elder of the Li family, Li Tianming.”
The two introduced themselves to Ye Lin.
“Dead men don’t need introductions.”
“Hahaha, how bold! Talented and arrogant, but unfortunately, you’re too young to fall here.”
Ye Lin looked around. He had no time to listen to these two old men bicker. He kept scanning his surroundings, searching for Ren Dong and Wang Gang.
“Delaying will lead to complications. Let’s make our move.”
Li Tianming looked at Jian Bo, the Grand Elder of Heaven Sword Sect, beside him.
“Good, let’s attack together and resolve this person with a thunderous strike.”
After speaking, the two old men positioned themselves to Ye Lin’s left and right, forming a pincer attack that trapped Ye Lin in the center. If Ye Lin tried to escape, he would face their fierce assault.
But if he attacked, attacking one would allow the other to sneak attack.
“Sword Control Skill, Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun.”
Suddenly, Jian Bo roared, and a long sword flew out from behind him, striking towards Ye Lin’s head with lightning speed.
Ye Lin knew this move well, and he was also very clear about the weakness of Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun, because he could also perform this move.
“Magic Shadow Without Trace.”
Ye Lin silently recited, and his body vanished like a ghost from their sight.
“Tiger's Roar in the Mountains and Forests.”
Upon arriving behind Jian Bo, Ye Lin threw a punch without hesitation.
Accompanied by a tiger's roar, although Ye Lin was fast, Jian Bo was even faster.
The long sword was held horizontally across his chest, blocking Ye Lin’s fatal blow.
“Actionless Palm.”
Li Tianming roared in anger, striking a palm towards Ye Lin’s face with astonishing power.
“Seven Kill Fist, Kill.”
Boom!
A punch and a palm collided, creating a huge sound that caused cracks to appear in the boulders beneath their feet.
Ye Lin’s body slid rapidly backward, while Li Tianming looked at his trembling right arm with horror.
That last palm strike was his full-power attack, and Ye Lin clearly resisted it in a hurry. Even so, he was still slightly at a disadvantage.
“Two Foundation Establishment Peak experts. Without using Phoenix Fire and Dao Platform power, it’s a bit difficult.”
“Keep killing. Since we’ve made our move, there’s no turning back.”
After Li Tianming finished speaking, the two rushed towards Ye Lin at high speed.
They knew Ye Lin had a Master in the Golden Core Stage. If Ye Lin escaped today, and his Master sought revenge in the future, they would surely die.
Even if their Sects had Golden Core Stage cultivators guarding them, they were very old men, whose lifespan was almost at its end. They would not take action unless the Sect was on the verge of destruction.
“Three Swords of Life and Death, First Sword of Death.”
Instantly, the Evil Slayer in Ye Lin’s hand transformed into a white long sword, stabbing towards Li Tianming.
“Petty trick.”
“Cloud Dispelling Palm.”
Li Tianming snorted disdainfully, and countless phantom palm prints appeared behind him, striking towards Ye Lin. Each palm print had the power of the Foundation Establishment Stage Late Phase.
“Be careful.”
At this moment, Jian Bo looked at the black sword that had quietly appeared behind Li Tianming and roared.
Hearing Jian Bo’s roar, Li Tianming immediately adjusted his position, but he was still a second too late.
Only the sound of a long sword piercing flesh was heard, and Li Tianming’s left arm fell to the ground.
Looking at his severed arm, Li Tianming’s face was grim. He never expected this person to have such a vicious trick.
“How dare you, brat! Sword Control Skill, Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun.”
Jian Bo roared, and his long sword swiftly sped towards Ye Lin.
At this moment, Ye Lin suddenly stared into Jian Bo’s eyes, and a transparent, several-centimeter-long spear instantly drilled into Jian Bo’s mind.
The next moment, the long sword fell to the ground, and Jian Bo lay on the ground, clutching his head and rolling.
“No… Ah, what did you do to me? Mental Martial Skill… You actually possess a Mental Martial Skill.”
“Kill me, quickly kill me.”
Jian Bo’s screams reached Li Tianming’s ears. He couldn’t imagine what kind of pain could make a dignified Foundation Establishment Peak expert lose control like this?
“Young friend Ye, a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. I’ve long heard of Young friend Ye’s exceptional cultivation. Seeing it today, it’s truly so.”
“That was just a sparring match. This is all my worldly possessions. Let’s end this matter here, how about it?”
At this moment, seeing Ye Lin looking at him, Li Tianming smiled broadly, holding a cloth bag in his hand.
Faced with death, he still chickened out.
“You seem to have misunderstood something.”
“What is it?”
After Li Tianming spoke, his eyes widened as he lay on the ground, a long sword, precisely Evil Slayer, plunged into his chest.
“Killing you, that’s mine too.”
