Tianqiong Clan, mid-air.
Lin Yun flew directly into the skies above the Tianqiong Clan.
“Who is that guy?”
Countless Tianqiong Clan members looked up at the figure in the air.
“The battle fluctuations from the mountain gate just now—could they be caused by him?”
“He’s radiating the aura of the Nine Revolutions Tribulation Realm. Isn’t he too bold? The Nine Revolutions Tribulation Realm is strong, but to dare storm our Tianqiong Clan alone—what’s the difference between that and seeking death?”
…
The Tianqiong Clan members buzzed with discussion. The commotion from the earlier battle at the gate had clearly reached them, sensed by the clan.
Lin Yun hovered in the air, his gaze sweeping over the entire Tianqiong Clan below.
“Tianqiong Clan, listen up! Hand over Yu Ying immediately!”
His booming voice, infused with powerful inner force, rang like a struck bell, instantly sweeping across the entire Tianqiong Clan.
“He’s here for the Saintess?”
Hearing Lin Yun’s words, the Tianqiong Clan members below immediately understood his purpose.
In the air.
After his shout, Lin Yun quickly released his divine sense, attempting to locate Yu Ying with it.
Boom!
As soon as Lin Yun’s divine sense spread out, a wave of divine sense nearly as powerful as his own surged forth, forcefully intercepting it.
“Boy, you’ve got some nerve, injuring our clan members at our gate and spouting such audacious words! Do you really think your strength can take on our Tianqiong Clan?”
With the shout, a gaunt old man with prominent cheekbones rose into the air from the buildings below.
“It’s the Great Elder! Even the Great Elder has been roused!”
Seeing the Great Elder appear, the Tianqiong Clan members’ discussions grew louder.
The Tianqiong Second and Fourth Elders, defeated by Lin Yun at the gate, had also hurried over.
The Great Elder looked at them, his face dark with reproach. “Second Elder, what were you doing? You were sent to drive this guy away, and you couldn’t even handle him?”
The Second Elder grimaced, unable to explain fully. “Great Elder, this guy’s strength is formidable, and he has a Heavenly Dao-level weapon. My weapon was outmatched, and I couldn’t beat him.”
“A Heavenly Dao-level weapon? As expected of the Huoyun Emperor’s disciple. In that case, I’ll have to bring out a Heavenly Dao-level weapon too!” After speaking, the Great Elder revealed a Heavenly Dao-level spear.
Heavenly Dao-level weapons were incredibly rare. This spear wasn’t personally owned by the Great Elder but was merely entrusted to him for use.
The Great Elder then looked up at Lin Yun. “Boy, if you’re smart, you’ll leave now. Otherwise, if we really fight, even if I spare your life out of respect for your background, I’ll make sure you suffer!”
“You’re the Tianqiong Clan’s Great Elder, right? Let me make this clear: if you don’t hand over my woman, this place will run red with blood!” Lin Yun’s voice was icy, his piercing gaze flashing with intense killing intent.
“Haha, you alone? What a joke!” The Great Elder burst into laughter.
“He said what? He’ll make this place run red with blood?”
“Haha!”
Laughter erupted throughout the Tianqiong Clan below.
To them, this was an absurd joke. This was their clan’s stronghold!
Even if the Nine Revolutions Tribulation Realm was powerful and something they looked up to, how could a single cultivator at that level shake the Tianqiong Clan? What a farce!
“Boy, since you’re so stubborn, I’ll have to teach you a lesson! Even if I don’t kill you today, I’ll carve a few pieces off you!”
“Second Elder, join me! We’ll take this guy down together!”
With those words, the Great Elder swung his spear, unleashing a terrifying storm. The spear tip became a pinpoint of cold light, shooting toward Lin Yun!
The Second Elder also charged, launching a fierce attack at Lin Yun.
“Come on!” Lin Yun, eyes bloodshot, swung his sword in response.
“This guy’s at the Nine Revolutions Tribulation Realm. With two Tribulation Realm elders attacking together, he’s doomed!”
The Tianqiong Clan members below watched the sky, brimming with anticipation.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The battle erupted in the sky.
Lin Yun first clashed with the oncoming Great Elder. Though also at the Tribulation Realm, the Great Elder’s divine sense, physical strength, and other attributes were a notch above the Second Elder’s, and he wielded a Heavenly Dao-level weapon.
The Second Elder soon joined, assisting the Great Elder with harassing attacks on Lin Yun!
As terrifying shockwaves spread through the sky, the battle grew fiercely intense!
“No one can stop me!!!”
Lin Yun’s bloodshot eyes blazed as he swung his sword frantically, his full strength unleashed!
“That guy’s ferocious! Even with two Tribulation Realm elders teaming up, they can’t fully suppress him!”
The Tianqiong Clan members below gasped in awe.
Even with two Tribulation Realm elders combined, the fight remained neck-and-neck.
This was far from what the Tianqiong Clan had expected.
Terrifying shockwaves spread downward, tearing off rooftops and scattering tiles!
…
Meanwhile.
In a cellar at the Tianqiong Clan’s back mountain.
Yu Ying was imprisoned there, bound by spirit-binding ropes, her face pale, her spirit visibly weakened.
“Yun-gege!”
Yu Ying suddenly looked up, a spark of joy flashing in her previously dim eyes.
She had clearly sensed the commotion outside and faintly heard the voices.
But after a brief moment of joy, her face filled with worry.
“Yun-gege, Ying’er… Ying’er shouldn’t have let you come…” Yu Ying clutched her clothes tightly, her heart heavy with concern.
She knew there was no way Lin Yun could take on the entire Tianqiong Clan.
…
Back above the Tianqiong Clan’s plaza.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Four more figures shot into the air from the buildings below, joining the battlefield.
Two were at the Nine Revolutions Tribulation Realm, and two at the Eight Revolutions Tribulation Realm!
“It’s Elder Bi and the others! They’re joining the fight!”
“These are our Tianqiong Clan’s top powerhouses below the immortal level, and they’re all stepping in!”
“No matter how strong that guy is, he can’t handle so many powerhouses alone, can he?”
The Tianqiong Clan members below looked skyward.
Sure enough, as the four Tribulation Realm powerhouses entered the fray, the six attackers formed a coordinated formation. With the Great Elder leading the frontal assault and the others supporting, Lin Yun was overwhelmed, falling into a defensive struggle and clearly at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, Lin Yun’s defences were strong enough, or he would likely have already been defeated!
“We’ve got the upper hand! It looks like the elders will soon crush this guy completely!”
The Tianqiong Clan members below cheered.
In the sky battlefield.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fierce battle made the surrounding space tremble violently.
Lin Yun’s body already bore several wounds.
“Boy, this is the price of not leaving!” the Great Elder taunted, continuing his relentless assault.
Boom!
The Great Elder’s spear, carrying tremendous power, swept toward Lin Yun again.
“It’s too early to talk about prices!” Lin Yun grinned ferociously.
At the same time, with a wave of his hand, the Metal Great Bear appeared instantly!
