chapter-4059
Duan Ling Tian was not the only one who found Lin Yuan mysterious. The others shared the same opinion as well.
At this time, the people from the Profound Jade Mansion’s Howling Flames Sect were looking at Lin Yuan’s back as he flew into the sky with anticipation burning in their eyes. They were also not familiar with Lin Yuan since Lin Yuan only joined their sect not long before the Seven Mansions Feast began. As soon as Lin Yuan joined their sect, he defeated the strongest among the young disciples in the sect with one strike. Although not many people knew about it at that time and only a few people witnessed the fight, news about it eventually spread. Hence, they only knew that Lin Yuan was very strong, but they had no idea about the extent of his strength.
“Tuo Ba Xiu is very strong. I wonder if Lin Yuan will be able to defeat her.”
“If Lin Yuan can defeat Tuo Ba Xiu, he’ll rank in the top three. He might even rank first.”
Not only were the young disciples from the Howling Flames Sect looking forward to Lin Yuan’s fight, but even the high-ranking officials were looking forward to his fight. Among all the elders and high-ranking officials of the Howling Flames Sect present at the venue, Lin Dong Lai knew Lin Yuan’s strength best. After all, Lin Dong Lai was the one who recruited Lin Yuan. It was said that after Lin Dong Lai successfully recruited Lin Yuan, he requested two slots to enter the Secret Holy Realm if Lin Yuan managed to rank in the top three. It was also said that the high-ranking officials of the sect agreed to Lin Dong Lai’s request.Lin Yuan flew onto the battlefield, silently facing off with Tuo Ba Xiu. They made a move without another word as soon as Lin Dong Lai’s voice fell. To be precise, Tuo Ba Xiu made a move first.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Perhaps, due to Tuo Ba Xiu’s previous experience, she attacked aggressively as soon as she made her move. Whenever she moved, freezing energy swept out into the surroundings. In just a moment, she sealed the space around them in ice.
At the same time, Lin Yuan did not waste time and counterattacked. He moved so swiftly that Tuo Ba Xiu could barely stop him at all.
‘Tuo Ba Xiu wants to restrain Lin Yuan with her law of ice, but Lin Yuan isn’t so easy to deal with. Moreover, he comprehends the law of destruction that has high destructive power. Even if Tuo Ba Xiu erects walls of ice, Lin Yuan can easily shatter them unless her comprehension of the law of ice is exceptionally strong,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
In just a moment, the two opponents had already exchanged a dozen moves.
‘Lin Yuan really isn’t as weak as he presented himself to be.’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression was solemn. He noticed the beads of sweat that dotted Tuo Ba Xiu’s forehead even though they were quickly evaporated by her Divine Energy. On the contrary, Lin Yuan looked as though he was having a hard time on the surface, but he could see the calmness in Lin Yuan’s eyes.At this time, Duan Ling Tian suddenly narrowed his eyes. ‘Tuo Ba Xiu is going all out!’
At this time, explosive energy surged out of Tuo Ba Xiu’s body.
Everyone, including the high-ranking officials from various forces, was staring at Tuo Ba Xiu intently.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sounds of thunderous explosions rang in the air as Tuo Ba Xiu destroyed the walls of ice she had erected. The shards of ice transformed into knife-like icicles as shot toward Lin Yuan.
At the same time, ice appeared beneath Tuo Ba Xiu’s feet as she moved. The divine prominent artifact in her hand shone dazzlings as blood qi rose from her body. The blood qi formed the silhouette of a bird that could be clearly seen by everyone.
Soon enough, many people exclaimed in shock.
‘Blood Phoenix Bloodline!’
Even the elders of the Pure Yang Sect widened their eyes slightly upon seeing this.
“Blood Phoenix Bloodline… I should’ve thought about this when I heard that her surname is Tuo Ba. I didn’t expect that someone from the Tuo Ba clan survived,” Zhen Ping Fan said with a sigh.
“Tuo Ba clan? Blood Phoenix Bloodline?”
Duan Ling Tian and the others were puzzled.
An elder from the Pure Yang Sect glanced in the direction of the people from the Feudal Lord Mansion before he explained, “The Tuo Ba clan used to be an emperor-rank clan in the Feudal Lord Mansion; it was annihilated at some point. Rumor had it that it was done by a sect in the Feudal Lord Mansion.”
Meanwhile, the high-ranking officials and elders of one of the top forces in the Feudal Lord Mansion, the Primal Flame Sect, wore dark expressions on their faces. Most of them had risen to their feet in shock earlier. At this time, they were all looking at Tuo Ba Xiu murderously.
“She’s a survivor of the Tuo Ba clan!”
“Didn’t we kill everyone in the clan back then? How can there be a survivor?”
“Is she the illegitimate daughter of a direct descendant of the Tuo Ba clan?”
The Feudal Lord Mansion’s Primal Flame Sect had annihilated the Tuo Ba clan in the past. They did not even spare the young, the old, the sick, and the disabled; they had killed indiscriminately. As such, they did not expect there to be a survivor. This was natural not a good thing for the Primal Flame Sect.
Similarly, the other young disciples from the various forces were also confused when Tuo Ba Xiu revealed her Blood Phoenix Bloodline and exploded with strength. At the same time, their elders were shocked, and when they recovered, they instinctively looked at the people from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Primal Flame Sect. Many of them sighed inwardly.
“An eye for an eye…”
“I didn’t expect there to be a survivor from the Tuo Ba clan. Although she’s still young and has yet to grow into her potential, she now has the support of the Underworld Mansion. The Feudal Lord Mansion’s Primal Flame Sect won’t be able to do anything to her…”
“She’s already grown so strong and displayed great potential. Even if the Primal Flame Sect offers to pay the Underworld Mansion to hand her over to them, the Underworld Mansion likely won’t agree to it.”
“It’s not just that. Who would’ve known that not only is there a survivor from the Tuo Ba clan, but the survivor also inherited the bloodline power, Blood Phoenix Bloodline? After all, not all direct descendants of the Tuo Ba clan could awaken this bloodline power.”
“Tuo Ba Xiu didn’t use the Blood Phoenix Bloodline previously. Did she just awaken this bloodline power?”
“That’s right. If she had used the Blood Phoenix Bloodline when she fought Yuan Mo Yu, she might not have lost.”
Everyone’s attention at this moment shifted from the mysterious Lin Yuan to Tuo Ba Xiu. Her bloodline power was too eye-catching, after all.
The young disciples from the various forces were unaware of the history between the Tuo Ba clan and the Primal Flame Sect. They also knew nothing about the Tuo Ba Clan’s Blood Phoenix Bloodline. They only learned about the matter from their elders.
In the past, someone from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Tuo Ba clan, who awakened the Blood Phoenix Bloodline, joined the Primal Flame Sect and participated in the Seven Mansions Feast. Most importantly, that person ranked first in the Seven Mansions Feast. After that, he left the Primal Flame Sect, intending to return to his clan. He wanted to lead his clan and bring it to new heights. He hoped that his clan would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Primal Flame Sect and the other top forces in the Feudal Lord Mansion. For that reason, the Primal Flame Sect became dissatisfied with him. After all, how could they allow someone they had cultivated to compete with them? Initially, the conflict was not too big, but as time passed, the conflict grew bigger and bigger. In the end, the Primal Flame Sect expended a lot of effort before finally annihilating the Tuo Ba clan.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian continued observing Tuo Ba Xiu.
‘She should’ve just awoken this bloodline power…’
Duan Ling Tian could sense the instability of Tuo Ba Xiu’s bloodline power. Although it was powerful, it had a flaw.
At this time, Lin Yuan suddenly took action. Similar to Duan Ling Tian, he had discovered the flaw of the Blood Phoenix Bloodline. With that, he did not hesitate to activate his bloodline power. Then, he attacked Tuo Ba Xiu, using her flaw to his advantage. In just a moment, he countered her bloodline power and sent her flying.
Tuo Ba Xiu spat out a mouthful of blood as she was sent flying back.
“Surrender.”
Lin Yuan placed his hands on his back as he hovered in the air and looked at Tuo Ba Xiu from a distance. His blood qi also subsided at the same time. He had to admit she was a rather formidable opponent. After all, although it was just for short a moment, she managed to force him to use his bloodline power.
“I surrender,” Tuo Bai Xiu, whose face was flushed red, finally said. Her eyes flashed with unwillingness as she looked at Lin Yuan. Alas, there was nothing she could do. She was severely injured while Lin Yuan was completely unscathed.
Under normal circumstances, everyone’s attention should be on Lin Yuan at this moment. However, at this time, everyone’s eyes darted between Tuo Ba Xiu and the people of the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Primal Flame Sect. After all, most of them had learned about the history between the Tuo Ba clan and the Primal Flame Sect.
Suddenly…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A few high-ranking officials from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Primal Flame Sect flew toward Tuo Ba Xiu.
After a beat, three figures of average height flew out as well, blocking the path of the high-ranking officials from the Primal Flame Sect like three insurmountable mountains. The trio was the intermediate Emperors of Gods from the three top forces in the Underworld Mansion.
One of the high-ranking officials from the Primal Flame Sect, who was also an intermediate Emperor of Gods, looked at the trio with a gloomy expression on his face. He said bluntly, “I’m sure you’re all aware of the enmity between our Primal Flame Sect and the Tuo Ba clan. I’ll assume you were unaware of her identity previously so I won’t hold you accountable for harboring and cultivating this bast*rd child. However, now that you know, let me tell you… This bast*rd child must die today!”
Although there were many people from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Primal Flame Sect who attended the Seven Mansions Feast this time, the man was the only intermediate Emperor of Gods present.
Conversely, Tuo Ba Xiu not only had protection from the Underworld Mansion’s Yuwen clan, but she also had protection from the other top forces in the Underworld Mansion.
How could one man from the Primal Flame Sect be a match for the three intermediate Emperors of Gods from the three top forces from the Underworld Mansion?
