With the Knife Slaughter Gang dealt with, the morale of the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild was greatly boosted.
They quickened their pace.
As they ventured deeper into the mountain range, the number of teams they encountered decreased, but the number of demonic beasts began to increase. Many of them actively attacked, and they were all demonic beasts above the Core Formation Realm. However, they were all easily handled by Lin Yun's pet beasts.
The slain demonic beasts were thrown into Lin Yun's Cosmos Sack.
He planned to refine them into Blood Pills to be used as snacks for his pet beasts!
Two more days passed, and they finally passed through a forest barrier that seemed natural, arriving at a massive mountain peak.
The mountain peak had no sharp point, and lush green vegetation spread across the mountain. However, faintly, one could still see some ancient stone-like structures peeking out from the mountain top, which was covered by the lush greenery.
"We're here. The ancient tomb estate is on top of that mountain!" Xuan Su pointed at the mountain peak ahead.
Lin Yun looked over. Under his Insightful Eye Technique, the ancient tomb was clearly presented in his eyes, protected by a formation barrier that isolated it.
At the foot of the mountain, Lin Yun saw a camp.
Quite a few people had already gathered there, including Elder Tao of the Lin Clan, Lin Ke'er, and others.
Everyone quickened their pace, and after more than ten minutes, they arrived at the camp at the foot of the mountain.
This camp was formed by the combined efforts of many teams. The depths of the Heavenly Flame Mountain Range were fraught with danger. Powerful demonic beasts would occasionally rush out. Even those at the Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm were in great danger facing the demonic beasts here alone.
Therefore, everyone had tacitly gathered together to defend against the demonic beasts.
Before entering the tomb estate, as long as there were no conflicts of interest, everyone was still good friends.
Lin Yun and his group also casually found a place to set up camp.
Next was to wait for the powerhouses of the four major clans to arrive and break open the formation.
The next day at noon!
When the sun rose to the center of the sky.
Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, a rumbling sound of breaking air came from afar, and a red light streaked across the sky.
The red light breaking through the air stirred the Origin Power of heaven and earth, creating a terrifying momentum.
When the red light slowed down, everyone finally saw that it was a giant eagle formed by Origin Power.
Standing on the giant eagle was a man. He wore a green robe, stood with his hands behind his back, and his long hair fluttered in the gentle breeze, appearing extremely unrestrained. That demeanor impressed many people.
"Lin Langtian!"
"It's him, the number one genius of the Lin Clan."
"Brother Lin Langtian is finally here."
Everyone in the camp looked up at him, and Lin Chen and others were even more excited.
This kind of entrance was full of flair. Coupled with Lin Langtian's indifferent, condescending gaze, his demeanor instantly created a gap between him and the people at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Dong stared intently at Lin Langtian, unable to hide his resentment.
"Relax, he's just at the Qi Creation Realm. By the time of the Clan Competition two years from now, you'll definitely be able to step on him."
Lin Yun patted Lin Dong's shoulder, comforting his younger brother.
Lin Dong took a deep breath and asked curiously, "Brother Lin Yun, with your current strength, can you beat Lin Langtian?"
"We'll only know after trying. We'll find a chance to try later!" Lin Yun smiled frankly.
He had no good feelings towards Lin Langtian, and even felt contempt for him in his heart.
Actually, Lin Langtian was quite useless. In terms of talent, with the help of an old man and backed by the Lin Clan, after so many years, he was only at the Qi Creation Realm.
His character was even worse. He was outwardly fierce but inwardly weak, bullied the weak and feared the strong, and was a tyrant at home, striking hard against the weak branch families while enduring humiliation from powerful external forces.
Being of the same clan as such a person, Lin Yun felt it was a disgrace. If he had the chance, he wouldn't mind stepping on him a few more times.
However, Lin Yun's thoughts today were not on these people.
He was looking forward to that woman!
He really wanted to see what the number one beauty in Martial Universe looked like.
"Haha, Lin Langtian, you've gotten ahead of me again!"
At this moment, a wild and arrogant laugh came from the horizon.
A golden light streaked through the air, and a powerful aura also spread out between heaven and earth.
The Origin Power of heaven and earth fluctuated. Finally, the golden light hovered in the sky, transforming into a golden spear several dozen feet long. On the spear was a figure in a golden robe with disheveled long hair. A surge of arrogance soared into the sky, as if he were a peerless, arrogant spear standing between heaven and earth.
"Wang Yan of the Wang Clan, Peak of Shapeshifting Realm!"
"The spear under his feet is the Wang Family's Great Luo Golden Spear, a high-grade Spiritual Treasure. It's very powerful. With this Spiritual Treasure, he can fight against a Qi Creation Realm expert."
The understanding chief secretary, Xuan Su, introduced him to Lin Yun beside him.
The geniuses of the four major clans this time were not big secrets. As long as one inquired a little, they could find out.
"The Wang Family has two great geniuses. Wang Yan is just one of them. Above him is an older brother, Wang Zhong. It is said that Wang Zhong's strength is no less than Lin Langtian's, but he didn't come this time."
Just as Wang Yan arrived, another sound of breaking air came from behind.
A green light filled the sky, and a Wind Phoenix Bird, dozens of feet large, flapped its wings, hovering in the air. A powerful aura swept out from within the Wind Phoenix Bird.
Above the Wind Phoenix Bird was a man in a blue shirt. His face was handsome to the point of being demonic, with a gentle smile and a touch of elegance. His appearance was slightly better than Lin Langtian's.
"This is Qin Shi from the Qin Clan. He's at the Shapeshifting Realm, and his demonic beast, the Wind Phoenix Bird, is also comparable to the Shapeshifting Realm," Xuan Su introduced briefly.
"Sister Su, you're really thorough with your information gathering. You're a little expert at handling things. It's so convenient having you by my side," Lin Yun praised Xuan Su.
Xuan Su teased softly, "If you want this sister to follow you, you'll have to support her!"
Lin Dong interjected, "Three of the four great clans are here. The Huangpu Family should be here too."
Xuan Su shook her head, "The Huangpu Family doesn't seem to have sent anyone."
Lin Langtian and the others standing in mid-air were also talking about the Huangpu Family.
"Let's make our move. What are we waiting for? Didn't the Huangpu Family say they weren't sending anyone?" Wang Yan asked the two with a frown.
"Wait a moment. The Huangpu Family isn't planning to send anyone, but they've invited someone even more powerful," Lin Langtian said with a smile.
Just then, a light and ethereal voice came from the horizon.
"Hehe, Brother Langtian is too kind to Qingzhu. With the top young experts of the Great Yan Dynasty here, Qingzhu fears she won't gain much this time."
Everyone was attracted by the pleasant voice.
The voice was extremely beautiful, as if it contained a special magic. Many people's eyes immediately showed a dazed and intoxicated look.
Just the voice alone made people unable to resist wanting to see her in person.
A green light swept from the distant sky and finally transformed into an Azure Lotus.
Standing on the Azure Lotus was a graceful figure. Although her face was covered by a thin veil, her pair of eyes, as clear as crystal, instantly dimmed this part of the world.
The woman wore a light-colored plain dress. Her eyebrows were like green feathers, her skin like white snow, and her waist like aShu Su (a type of sash). On her face, covered by a thin veil, her clear eyes flowed with charm, making the world lose its color.
Her temperament was astonishing, rarely seen in the human world! As soon as this woman appeared, the scene immediately became silent. Although the woman's face was covered by a thin veil, the faintly visible outline revealed a nearly perfect facial curve, making people want to tear off the veil and see the stunning beauty that could make all flowers pale in comparison.
"What a beautiful woman!"
Lin Dong's gaze shifted, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"No matter how beautiful she is, she doesn't belong to you!" Xia Zhilan pouted and grumbled unhappily beside him.
"Uh... cough cough, compared to Zhi Lan, she's still a bit lacking," Lin Dong said awkwardly.
Holy crap, she's really fcking beautiful...* Lin Yun also stared at the graceful figure. She wore a plain dress, her bare jade feet stepping on the Azure Lotus. She was pure and flawless, ethereal and graceful, not like a mortal, but even more beautiful than a fairy.
Among the women Lin Yun had seen, Xuan Su could be considered the most charming, a true temptress, but in front of Ling Qingzhu, she was still slightly inferior.
Lin Yun glanced at Lin Dong, who was pulling and tugging with Xia Zhilan beside him.
Oh, little brother, you're not living up to expectations... Lin Yun couldn't help but have some wicked thoughts, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up wildly. "A wife delivered to my doorstep, I won't be polite!"
"Let's try setting up a task first!"
Lin Yun immediately tried.
Task: Intercept Ling Qingzhu in the ancient tomb. Reward: Physique +10, Charm +10, Top-tier Spear Technique Talent!
Seeing the task reward, Lin Yun's eyes lit up, and his resolve in his heart grew stronger.
"Let's do it!"
