The rune array rippled, and powerful spiritual energy began to condense at the center of the array. As the spiritual energy condensed wildly, a strange flame suddenly shot out from the center of the rune array.
This flame looks like an ordinary fire, but it is actually a transformation created by spiritual power condensed to a certain level.
The flame was no more than the thickness of a thumb, but the violent mental fluctuations it emitted were extremely terrifying.
This fluctuation was also noticed by Yue Shan on the other side, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes. But at this moment, he could no longer stop, so he could only hurriedly mobilize the Yuan power in his dantian and pour it into the blood-red greatsword in his hand!
"call out!"
Lin Yi stared indifferently at Yue Shan, then suddenly pointed his finger out into the air. The flame at the center of the talisman array trembled violently, and then shot out with a whoosh!
Chapter 71 Distribution of Profits: Gratitude and Shock! [Please Read On]
"Boom!"
As the flames shot out, the surrounding air suddenly vibrated, and an invisible shockwave roared out, compressing the air and producing a series of low sonic booms!
"boom!"
In an instant, the flames collided with the crimson blade light emitted by Yue Shan.
That seemingly powerful blade light crumbled almost instantly, and even the long sword in Yue Shan's hand was burned on the spot!
The flames, however, continued their rapid ascent, creating a violent surge that hurtled straight towards Mount Yue!
The flames traveled along the long sword, directly igniting Yue Shan's arm and rapidly spreading upwards.
"what!"
Yue Shan let out a cry of pain, frantically channeling his Yuan Power in an attempt to extinguish the flames on his arm, but to no avail.
Seeing the flames about to spread from his arm to his shoulder, Yue Shan gritted his teeth, picked up the large knife dropped by a nearby gang member with his left hand, and swiftly severed his right arm at the shoulder!
Before Yue Shan could even relax, he suddenly felt a chill.
"Shhhhhh!"
A dozen or so cold lights shot towards his vital points from all directions at the same time!
Yue Shan frantically waved his left hand, holding the knife, trying to block the cold light of the attack, but his right arm was destroyed, his body lost its balance, and his movements became much slower, so he was unable to block all the cold light.
"Chichi!"
Several sharp sounds rang out as Yue Shan's legs, dantian, and back were simultaneously pierced by the short sword, causing blood to spurt out!
"puff!"
Yue Shan spat out a mouthful of blood, his legs were injured, his dantian energy collapsed, and his body immediately collapsed to his knees uncontrollably. He supported himself with his left hand on the ground with his knife, and his face was as pale as paper.
"it's over!"
Lin Yi shook his head slightly, and with a thought, another short sword suddenly shot towards Yue Shan's brow from the darkness!
Just as Yue Shan was about to dodge, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.
"laugh!"
The next instant, the short sword pierced through Yue Shan's brow.
Yue Shan's eyes widened, and his body fell backward limply, quickly losing all signs of life.
Lin Yi casually made a move and took away Yue Shan's Qiankun bag.
Meanwhile, Xia Wanjin, Xuan Su, and the others had also dealt with the remaining rabble of the Blood Wolf Gang and the Knife Slaughter Gang.
Upon seeing Lin Yi kill Yue Shan, Xia Wanjin, Xuan Su, and the others were overwhelmed with emotion once again.
"Young friend Lin Yi, this time, we owe you a great debt."
Taking a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart, Xia Wanjin walked towards Lin Yi and clasped his hands in gratitude.
"President Xia, you're too kind. The Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce and Steward Su have taken good care of me before, and I also hold the title of a patron of the Chamber of Commerce. It's only right that they lend a helping hand," Lin Yi said with a slight smile.
“I originally planned to search for some treasures in that ancient tomb, but it seems we have no choice but to turn back now,” Xuan Su said softly from the side.
Although this battle essentially wiped out the Blood Wolf Gang and the Knife Slaughter Gang, the Wan Jin Merchant Guild also suffered heavy losses.
Lin Yi said, "The main force of the Blood Wolf Gang has been completely wiped out, and there are probably not many people left. You might as well return to Yan City and completely wipe out the remaining forces of the Blood Wolf Gang. This way, you can eliminate them completely and also take over their assets."
Xia Wanjin nodded and said, "What young friend Lin Yi said is exactly what I was thinking. However, the reason why Wanjin Chamber of Commerce was able to destroy the Blood Wolf Gang was entirely due to young friend Lin Yi. After we return and eradicate the Blood Wolf Gang, we will hand over the Blood Wolf Gang's assets to the Lin family for disposal."
Xia Wanjin made this decision both out of gratitude to Lin Yi and because he wanted to deepen his relationship with Lin Yi.
A genius like Lin Yi is worth the huge sum of money he spends to win him over.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "President Xia, you are mistaken. The Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce was the main contributor to the destruction of the Blood Wolf Gang. How could my Lin family take such a big advantage?"
"Moreover, the Lin family has limited manpower, and it would be difficult for us to take over the Blood Wolf Gang's assets. How about this, the Blood Wolf Gang's liquid assets will go to the Lin family, the Lin family will only take 30% of the fixed assets, and the remaining 70% will go to the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce."
Lin Yi had already planned to bring the Lin family to Yan City after destroying the Blood Wolf Gang, so he followed Xia Wanjin's lead and made the decision on behalf of Lin Zhentian.
Xia Wanjin said, "Young friend Lin Yi may not know, but the Blood Wolf Gang's fixed assets in Yan City are of extraordinary value..."
Lin Yi interrupted Xia Wanjin directly and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Chairman Xia. Let's distribute it as I suggested. Chairman Xia, please don't blame me for taking too much."
"Young friend Lin Yi is too kind. Since you insist, let's do as you say," Xia Wanjin said quickly upon hearing this.
"Also, I'm heading to the Ancient Tomb Mansion soon, and I don't know when I'll be back. I'll ask President Xia to look after my family. As for the Lin family's move into Yan City, we'll discuss that when I get back," Lin Yi said after a moment's thought.
Xia Wanjin said in a deep voice, "Young friend Lin Yi, rest assured, as long as my Wanjin Chamber of Commerce still exists, we will never allow anything to happen to the Lin family."
"Thank you," Lin Yi said, cupping his hands in thanks. He continued, "President Xia, Steward Su, please rest for a while and then head back to Yan City. I'm with the Lin clan this time, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Lin Yi waved his hand, and Xiao Yan, covered in the smell of blood, rushed over. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaped onto the tiger's back, waved to Xia Wanjin and the others, and then Xiao Yan transformed into a fiery red shadow and rushed towards the camp.
When Lin Yi returned to the camp, it was still peaceful, with the campfire flickering slowly. It was a completely different world from the chaotic place he had left behind.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and noticed a beautiful figure in a white dress standing gracefully at the entrance of the camp. It was Lin Ke'er.
"You're back. Did everything go smoothly?" Lin Ke'er winked at Lin Yi and asked with a smile.
"It seems you already know what happened," Lin Yi said with a smile.
Lin Ke'er smiled and nodded, "When I was cultivating my spiritual power, I sensed the fluctuations of your departure, and then I paid more attention to it."
That's right, Lin Ke'er is also a talisman master with considerable spiritual power.
"Cough cough," just then, a faint cough suddenly rang out.
Lin Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Elder Tao was lifting the curtain and looking at them. "You should all get some rest."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi cupped his hands in greeting to Elder Tao and then went straight into his tent.
"This kid is really something..." Old Tao murmured as he watched Lin Yi's figure disappear from sight.
Lin Ke'er nodded slightly and said, "His strength is indeed very strong. In the battle just now, two Yuan Dan Great Perfection cultivators died at his hands."
"Hiss... That old guy Lin Zhentian is really lucky to have such a grandson..." Upon hearing this, Old Tao couldn't help but gasp, his words filled with envy for Lin Zhentian.
"Alright, you should go and rest too. We have to keep going early tomorrow morning."
"Ah."
Lin Ke'er nodded slightly and turned to enter her own tent.
Chapter 72 Great Yan's Geniuses Gather, Ling Qingzhu Arrives! [Please Read On]
The following morning, as a thin mist enveloped the mountains, Lin Yi and the others set off again, embarking on their journey to the ancient tomb.
Along the way, they encountered almost no new groups, but occasionally they were attacked by monsters in the forest.
However, those demonic beasts did not cause any damage to their team. Instead, they contributed their demonic crystals, which allowed Xiao Yan, who was following Lin Yi, to benefit from them.
As darkness was about to fall completely, Lin Yi and the others finally passed through what seemed like a natural forest barrier and appeared outside a huge mountain peak.
The mountain peaks have no summits; lush greenery spreads throughout the mountains. However, one can still vaguely see some ancient, boulder-like buildings peeking out from the lush, verdant summits.
"That is the location of the ancient tomb," Lin Ke'er said with a smile as she looked up at the mountaintop.
Tao Lao sighed, "There is still a seal at the top of that mountain. It is not easy to enter. The Nirvana Realm experts are indeed accomplished. The seal they set up is still so powerful after so many years."
Lin Yi nodded upon hearing this. With his spiritual perception, he was also able to sense some peculiar fluctuations in the sky above the mountaintop.
"It's getting late, let's hurry up and set up camp at the foot of the mountain to rest," Tao said with a smile.
No one had any objections to this, and the group quickened their pace, arriving at an open space at the foot of the mountain a dozen minutes later.
A large camp has already been formed there.
This camp was clearly a joint effort by numerous groups, with people from all over the country, making it quite a mixed bag.
The appearance of Lin Yi and his group also attracted the attention of many people in the camp. When they saw the clan emblems on the chests of Lin Ke'er and the others, their eyes showed fear.
Thanks to the prestige of the Lin clan, Lin Yi, along with Elder Tao and the others, entered the camp with great ease.
"The Wang clan has also arrived." After entering the camp, Lin Ke'er and the others suddenly looked towards a high ground not far away, where some people were watching them.
"The Wang clan..." Lin Yi's heart stirred slightly, and he looked up, roughly memorizing the faces of several members of the Wang clan.
Once inside the ancient tomb, conflicts with the Wang clan are inevitable.
The group chatted as they set up camp. After the camp was set up, they had a simple dinner and then went back to their tents to rest.
This large camp, jointly established by numerous forces, was quite safe, and no monster attacks occurred.
Time continued to pass, and everyone in the camp was eagerly anticipating the ancient tomb, but they could only silently wait for the powerful figures from various forces to come and break the seal.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, at noon the next day, a thunderous sound of wind breaking suddenly echoed from the distant horizon.
Lin Yi stood atop a giant rock, looking up at the northern sky, where a red light, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, was hurtling towards him!
The crimson light pierced the sky, drawing upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth; its power was truly terrifying.
"Wow!"
Under the watchful eyes of many, the red light streaked through the air at an extremely rapid speed. As the red light drew closer, everyone was surprised to discover that the red figure was actually a giant, magnificent eagle with a completely crimson body.
The giant eagle moved with incredible speed, its wings flapping several times before appearing in the sky with the sound of wind and thunder.
As the giant eagle slowed down, everyone's gaze immediately fell upon it. There stood a figure in a green robe, hands behind his back, his long hair fluttering in the breeze, exuding an air of nonchalant elegance.
"Brother Lin Langtian has arrived!"
