Saintess Lin Lang was livid. She had always been the undisputed number one heaven pride of the Blood Lion Clan ever since she began cultivating. She was revered wherever she went, and even the bigwigs of the clan would show her some respect.
Who could have imagined that she would be tricked by a human youngster today? Not only had the Blood Lion Clan experts been killed, but even a third of the mysterious golden book had also been taken by him.
How could she feel anything besides hatred toward him?
The most humiliating part was that the youngster only had Spirit Sea cultivation!
Rumble!
A terrifying ripple spread from Saintess Lin Lang as chilling killing intent covered her face. Her eyes seemed to contain death itself as her blood-red hair danced around her, making her resemble a demoness.
However, just as she was about to bring her full wrath down on Lin Xun, an unexpected development occurred—
The chains around the dao platform at the end of the temple suddenly began to rattle loudly, and a furious roar sounded from the jade rock within, “How dare you take this king’s inheritance manual. Both of you deserve to die!”
The voice was shrill and young like a baby’s and filled with endless rage.
The entire temple began to shake as thousands of chains rattled ominously. They suddenly shot forth and swarmed toward Saintess Lin Lang and Lin Xun.
Saintess Lin Lang and Lin Xun gasped as an unprecedented feeling of danger washed over them.
“Go!”
Lin Xun did not dare to tarry. He pushed the Hornless Ice Dragon Step to the extreme as he hurriedly fled from the temple.
“Abominable!”
Saintess Lin Lang was so furious she was about to blow her top. She had originally planned to kill Lin Xun. Who could have expected such a turn of events?
Boom!
A chain arrived, suffused with terrifying dao light as it lashed at her.
Saintess Lin Lang defended with the blood-colored copper bell, but the impact still made her face turn pale and nearly cough blood.
The anger clouding her mind immediately dissipated, and she turned to flee without any hesitation.
The sudden turn of events in the temple was horrifying, to say the least, and it felt as if a dreadful creature was awakening from its deep slumber. Lingering a moment longer would only result in disaster!
Lin Xun had barely scuttled out from the green palace when he heard an earth-shaking rumble. The palace shuddered as the entire purple gold sacred mountain violently trembled.
Shit!
Lin Xun’s expression changed again. He did not dare to stay a second longer and bolted down the mountain.
Behind him, Saintess Lin Lang also dashed out, her blood-red hair fluttering wildly around her frosty face. She had clearly realized the danger, and no longer cared about him as she also fled at full speed.

Amidst the dreadful rumbling, the ancient green palace on the peak began to sink as it produced terrifying green lightning that made the sky change color.
Subsequently, sacred light rose like steam from the mountain as it also began to sink.
Next, even the lava lake began to boil as frightening fire waves rose from its depths. The island also began to crumble, turning into chunks of land that sunk into the lake.
It was pure terror!
An astonishing change had occurred to the entire Five Elements Holy Island. It sank into the lake amidst devastating restriction power shockwaves.
“Damnit! What’s going on?”
“Could that woman Lin Lang have triggered some kind of forbidden power and started a chain reaction that will destroy the island?”
On the other side of the lake, the Dragon Whale Clan experts retreated far away out of fear. Their expressions fluctuated indeterminately, afraid they might get caught up in the destruction.
There was no doubt that even a Life Death King Stage expert would be unable to escape death, let alone the likes of them!
The destructive power was far too terrifying and surpassed the realms of their imagination. It felt as if the entire land had descended into chaos, and everything was being destroyed.
Yu Xiaosheng's expression was also fluctuating indeterminately. However, icy-blue light soon flashed in his eyes as he shouted, “Get ready to fight!”
Swish!
The words had barely left his mouth when a figure bolted out from the Five Elements Holy Island side with unbelievable quickness.
Despite this, Yu Xiaosheng was still to identify that it was the human youngster!
“The Blood Lion Clan Saintess is right behind me. She stole the greatest treasure of the island which started this disaster!”
Lin Xun’s yell arrived before him, causing a slight commotion among the Dragon Whale Clan experts. They had speculated earlier that the drastic turn of events was likely related to Saintess Lin Lang.
Lin Xun’s words undoubtedly proved their speculation.
Some distance behind, Saintess Lin Lang was just about to catch her breath only to become exasperated upon hearing Lin Xun’s words.
Trying to frame her and draw all the trouble to her?
The human youngster is so shameless and despicable!
“Friend, no matter who obtained the treasure, you should also stay here for the time being!”
Yu Xiaosheng coldly said as he signaled the nearby clansmen to stop Lin Xun.
Meanwhile, he launched himself at Saintess Lin Lang.
Buzz!
A three-pronged trident made from dragon bone rose into the air, setting off thousands of secret runes as it boldly thrust forward.
The weapon was known as the Dragon Bone Trident and was an ancestral weapon of the Dragon Whale Clan that was no weaker than Saintess Lin Lang’s blood-colored copper bell.
Yu Xiaosheng clearly realized the severity of the situation and decided to use his full power from the start.
On the other side, Lin Xun was quickly surrounded by the Dragon Whale Clan experts. They had long prepared for this, and there was no way they were going to let him slip away so easily.
A battle immediately erupted.
Saintess Lin Lang wielded the blood-colored copper bell against Yu Xiaosheng. Their battle was devastating and intense. Terrifying energy chaotically surged around them, creating a horrifying scene.
One was the Blood Lion Clan Saintess while the other was the Dragon Whale Clan Saint. With both of them facing off and each wielding a supreme weapon, it was basically a clash between the pinnacle of the younger generation that would make anyone’s heart shiver in awe.
On the other side of the battlefield, Lin Xun was starting to feel the heat. There was no lack of older-generation advanced Heaven Ascension experts among the Dragon Whale Clan members, and it was easy to imagine how frightening it was when all of them were swarming a single person together.
Lin Xun was just barely able to keep them at bay using the Hornless Ice Dragon Step and could see no quick way to break free of the encirclement.
“Stinky woman, it looks like these guys aren’t going to let us off. How about forming a temporary alliance to break out and settle things between us at a later date?”
Lin Xun suddenly howled as he glowed brightly. The Broken Blade swept through the air and hacked apart a serpent spear. Although he could not break out of the encirclement, he displayed immense power that could not be suppressed.
“Sure, you come over and help me deal with Yu Xiaosheng first!”
Saintess Lin Lang’s reply was very straightforward. She hated Lin Xun, but she understood that cooperating with him was the only way for both of them to survive.
Yu Xiaosheng’s and the other Dragon Whale Clan experts’ expressions immediately changed. If the two of them joined forces, it was indeed very likely that they would be able to break out.
Somewhat anxious, Yu Xiaosheng roared, “Do all you can to stop him! They can’t be allowed to join up!”
“Kill!”
The Dragon Whale Clan experts did not dare to tarry and immediately redoubled their efforts to stop Lin Xun.
Lin Xun yelled, “You come over, I can’t get out. If you don’t, neither of us will be able to escape!”
“Abominable!”
Saintess Lin Lang’s lips trembled in anger as she inwardly cursed.
However, there was nothing else she could do but fend off Yu Xiaosheng as she tried to move closer to Lin Xun.
How could Yu Xiaosheng allow them to join up? With a bellow, he channeled all of his power into the Dragon Bone Trident, causing it to shine like the sun. The amplified attacks pushed Saintess Lin Lang further onto the backfoot.
Urgh!
In the end, she was caught by a sweeping attack from the trident which injured her and made her cough blood. However, she also managed to use the momentum to close in on Lin Xun’s battlefield.
“Kill!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith a howl, she raised the Heavenly Blood Thunder Bead and unleashed thousands of thunderbolts that blasted down upon the Dragon Whale Clan experts.
“Scram!”
Lin Xun also attacked with a roar. His back abruptly arched as he executed Bixi Collision!
Several of the Dragon Whale Clan experts behind Lin Xun were caught off-guard by the bizarre technique, resulting in them being sent flying as they coughed blood.
A crack had opened in the encirclement.
Swish! Swish!
Lin Xun and Saintess Lin Lang naturally would not miss such an opening. They simultaneously used their movement arts to escape from the crack.
“A bunch of useless trash! Quickly go after them!”
Yu Xiaosheng was infuriated and immediately pursued.
However, the Dragon Whale Clan experts were dumbfounded because Lin Xun and Saintess Lin Lang had immediately split up and were fleeing in two different directions.
Who should they chase?
“Nitwits! What are you guys still standing around for? Go chase that kid and leave the woman to me!”
Yu Xiaosheng’s roar boomed like thunder as he pursued Saintess Lin Lang.
He was feeling very frustrated. He originally possessed the absolute advantage in their ‘oriole, mantis, and cicada’ situation.
Who could have imagined that a drastic change would occur on the Five Elements Holy Island and catch him off-guard?
When they attacked Lin Xun and Saintess Lin Lang, who could have anticipated that the feuding mantis and cicada would ally together in order to escape?
Everything had been turned on its head in an instant!
It was easy to imagine how sullen Yu Xiaosheng was feeling.
Lin Xun pushed the Hornless Ice Dragon Step to its limit, causing his body to flicker like an illusion as he fled while being pursued by a large group of Dragon Whale Clan experts.
He was also feeling a little depressed. He had recently resolved the danger of the Blood Lion Clan only to be targeted by the Dragon Whale Clan soon after. It was a situation that made him feel very angry.
Do they think I am a pushover that anyone could bully?
Since you guys don’t know what’s good for yourselves, let’s up the stakes!
Lin Xun ground his teeth as he ran.
Abominable! Truly abominable!
Meanwhile, Saintess Lin Lang was on the verge of going crazy from anger, gnashing her teeth so hard that they almost shattered.
The Blood Lion Clan had paid a tragic price today and had essentially been wiped out!
The most infuriating part was that Yu Xiaosheng was hot on her heels even at this juncture. He was like a ghost that refused to leave, and his actions were simply intolerable!
After all, the Gold Treasure Tree Sapling had been stolen by this very same bastard!
