“Yes, I have a way,” Lin Yi replied.
“Haha.”
After Lin Yi’s response, Mu Hu and his followers burst into laughter.
“Zhou Yi, boasting in front of us is one thing, but you have the nerve to brag in front of the Grand Elder? Do you have no shame at all?” Mu Hu sneered.
He then turned to Xia Xuan. “Xia Xuan, I really don’t understand why you’d fall for this guy. Am I, Mu Hu, not a thousand times better than Zhou Yi? In terms of strength or background, how can Zhou Yi compare to me?”
“Enough, all of you,” the Grand Elder waved his hand dismissively.
He then looked at Lin Yi. “Zhou Yi, your talent is indeed remarkable. Though you haven’t been with the Wind Thunder Sect for long, your performance among your peers is impressive. Your loyalty to the sect is commendable, but this is a matter beyond your ability to handle.”
Boom!
At that moment, a powerful aura appeared in the sky, accompanied by over a hundred figures.
“Wind Thunder Sect Leader, come out and face your death!”
A thunderous voice echoed through the clouds.
“Damn it! They’re here!” The Grand Elder’s face paled.
The arrival of these hundred figures sent the entire Wind Thunder Sect into a panic.
Disciples across the sect looked up at the sky.
Though the enemy’s numbers were few, their strength was formidable.
“All disciples, assemble in the plaza immediately and form the array!” the Grand Elder’s voice rang out across the Wind Thunder Sect.
At his command, disciples rushed to the plaza.
“Xuan’er, let’s hurry over too.” Lin Yi grabbed Xia Xuan’s hand and headed for the plaza.
In the sky.
Whoosh!
A middle-aged man in a white robe shot up from within the sect.
“It’s the Sect Leader!”
The disciples recognised him instantly.
In the air.
“Elder Kang Yangyuan, this is all a misunderstanding. Let’s sit down and talk,” the Wind Thunder Sect Leader said.
“No discussion. Today, not only will you die, but your Wind Thunder Sect will also fall!” Kang Yangyuan’s voice boomed.
Hearing this, the Wind Thunder Sect disciples in the plaza turned pale with fear.
“Break the array!”
Kang Yangyuan wasted no more words. Leading his group, he launched an attack on the protective array surrounding the Wind Thunder Sect.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As they assaulted the array, terrifying shockwaves rippled outward.
The disciples in the plaza channelled their energy to reinforce the array.
But under such ferocious attacks, the array couldn’t hold for long and shattered with a resounding crash.
“Kill!”
Kang Yangyuan, leading the charge, dove down.
“All elders and protectors, follow me to meet the enemy!” The Sect Leader rushed forward to engage.
“We’re doomed!”
The disciples in the plaza turned ashen with fear.
“Don’t be afraid, everyone. With me here, I’ll ensure your safety,” Mu Hu said to his followers.
“Thank you, Brother Mu! We’re lucky to have you!”
His group showered him with gratitude and flattery.
Mu Hu glanced at Xia Xuan nearby.
“Xia Xuan, if you come to your senses and join me now, there’s still time. Otherwise, you’ll die alongside that Zhou Yi,” Mu Hu said.
Xia Xuan didn’t even turn her head, ignoring him completely.
“Brother Mu, this Xia Xuan is so clueless. I don’t know what spell Zhou Yi has cast on her,” one of Mu Hu’s followers said.
“Hmph, that wretched girl. When death comes, we’ll see if she’s scared, we’ll see if she begs me!” Mu Hu said viciously.
At that moment, Lin Yi stared anxiously at the sky.
“The enemy is here. I don’t know if Father can make it,” Lin Yi muttered nervously.
He trusted that his father would come after receiving his message.
But what if Lin Yun was in secluded cultivation? Or what if he was with the dragon clan and couldn’t arrive in time?
In mid-air.
The battle had begun, with Kang Yangyuan facing the Wind Thunder Sect Leader.
Pfft!
Against Kang Yangyuan’s superior strength, the Sect Leader could only hold out briefly before spitting blood after a single clash.
“Wind Thunder Sect Leader, this is the price for crossing me. Die!” Kang Yangyuan unleashed a killing move, intent on ending the Sect Leader’s life.
The Wind Thunder Sect disciples, witnessing this, held their breath in tension.
Boom!
Just as Kang Yangyuan was about to strike the fatal blow, a terrifying aura swept across the battlefield.
“Stop!”
A commanding voice instantly dominated the scene.
“Who!” Kang Yangyuan spun around, as did his followers.
“What a terrifying aura. Who is it?”
Every member of the Wind Thunder Sect, from the Sect Leader to the disciples, turned to look.
It was Lin Yun!
“It’s… an Immortal!”
Though most had never seen Lin Yun, they could tell from his fearsome aura that he was an immensely powerful Immortal.
“Why is an Immortal here?”
“What does this Immortal want by coming to the Wind Thunder Sect? Who… who is he here to help?”
Everyone watched Lin Yun, their hearts pounding with nervous anticipation.
This included the Sect Leader and Kang Yangyuan, both of whom grew tense, unsure if this Immortal was friend or foe.
The battle came to a complete halt.
Everyone knew what the arrival of an Immortal meant!
“Your Excellency, I am Kang Yangyuan of the Kang Clan. Forgive my ignorance, but may I know your esteemed name?” Kang Yangyuan asked with utmost respect.
All eyes, filled with awe, were fixed on Lin Yun in the sky, eager to learn his identity.
“Fire Cloud Empire’s National Teacher, Lin Yun!” Lin Yun’s gaze swept the crowd as he answered.
After the last Heavenly God List ranking, the Fire Cloud Emperor had appointed Lin Yun as National Teacher, a position second only to the Emperor himself in the Fire Cloud Empire.
“It’s… His Excellency Lin Yun!”
The crowd erupted in shock upon hearing his name.
“Greetings, Your Excellency Lin Yun!”
From Kang Yangyuan to the Wind Thunder Sect Leader, elders, and others, all bowed to Lin Yun.
Their hearts were filled with astonishment. Why would someone as great as Lin Yun appear here?
“Greetings, Your Excellency Lin Yun!”
The disciples in the plaza knelt and paid their respects.
Though they didn’t know Lin Yun personally, his deeds were legendary throughout the empire.
The scene grew quiet.
“Father!”
As everyone wondered why Lin Yun had come, a loud voice rang out from the disciples in the plaza.
Then, under the gaze of the entire crowd, Lin Yi shot into the air, his face beaming with excitement, rushing toward Lin Yun!
