563: I'll take a night off tonight and update tomorrow.

"Father (Uncle), what exactly happened? What's the situation? Isn't Uncle Lin only at the first layer of the Boundary Realm? How could he kill the entire Bone Bloom Squad??"

After a moment of stunned silence, the children were filled with shock and curiosity, hurrying to ask questions.

Yue Duanjiang murmured in shock, "One move, my brother Lin only used one move..."

"And those Bone Bloom people... they died..."

"What?!"

The children instantly turned pale with fright:

"Uncle Lin, he killed the Bone Bloom people in one move??"

All of them were completely dumbfounded.

Yes, that's right.

Lin Yang killed all the members of this Bone Bloom Squad in a single move!

...Outside the city.

At this moment, Lin Yang himself was, frankly, a little bewildered.

Because he had absolutely not expected that with just one strike, these Bone Bloom guys in front of him would shatter like paper.

Even the two guys at the peak third layer couldn't withstand the power of a single blow from the Space Spirit Lock.

"I didn't use the power of Dao Rhythm at all, only merged a bit of the power of 'Boundary,' but when did the merged power of 'Boundary' become so outrageous?"

Lin Yang looked at the corpses, muttering inwardly.

He had originally intended to kill these guys without using the power of Dao Rhythm.

But the current result was no different from using the power of Dao Rhythm.

It was still an instant kill.

This was too outrageous.

"Could it be that after I grasped some of the power of Dao Rhythm, the 'Boundary' underwent some further change?"

Lin Yang pondered, concluding that this possibility was the most likely.

After all, he hadn't had any other improvements recently besides mastering Dao Rhythm. If the merged power of 'Boundary' suddenly became so exaggerated, it was likely inseparable from his mastery of Dao Rhythm.

"Although it's not an increase in the multiplier of power, the destructive force is truly monstrous..."

Lin Yang mumbled, increasingly sensing the extraordinary nature of the 'Boundary.'

Immediately, he stopped overthinking it.

Although the fighting process was somewhat beyond imagination, it didn't really matter.

After searching these guys, he turned and headed in another direction.

Killing this Squad was just the beginning.

What he truly intended to do was hunt down all the Bone Bloom scum outside the city!

At the same time, everyone in Yun Que City who was watching the battle from afar was completely stunned at this moment.

Two Boundary Realm peak third layers plus several ordinary third layers were instantly killed by Lin Yang in one move!

This was utterly earth-shattering!

"This, this..."

"He..."

The crowd in Yun Que City found themselves speechless.

This was too astonishing!

The entire city fell into shocked silence!

"An incredible figure has arrived in our Yun Que City..."

After a long time, someone exclaimed.

"It looks like Bone Bloom has hit a steel plate this time."

"His move just now had no Power of Rules from Dao Rhythm; it was pure strength!"

"Pure force suppression was enough to instantly kill two peak third layers—that's terrifying!"

"Was it the power of a treasure? But why didn't I sense any fluctuation of treasure power?"

"That's the most terrifying part! He didn't use a treasure, nor the Power of Rules from Dao Rhythm—just pure power, power refined to the extreme!"

"Can mere strength be cultivated to such a monstrous degree? Is this something a human can achieve? He's only at the first layer of the Boundary Realm!"

"..."

Everyone in the city was stunned.

The power Lin Yang displayed was so strong it seemed inhuman.

Moreover, no matter how they sensed it, his realm was only the first layer of the Boundary Realm.

But how could a Boundary Realm first layer raise their power to this extent?

People found it hard to believe.

They dared not believe it.

They were even unwilling to believe it!

Because this was too terrifying to contemplate!

If he was this monstrous at just the first layer, what would happen when he reached the second and third layers?

How terrifying would that be?

No one dared to imagine.

No one could picture it.

"Is he really not some big shot hiding his strength? I truly cannot believe that a Boundary Realm first layer could possess such terrifying power!"

There were also those who dared not, or were unwilling, to believe Lin Yang was a Boundary Realm first layer.

This was too damaging to morale!

"Although I can't be one hundred percent certain, he should be the first layer. The power fluctuations during a move cannot be perfectly hidden—unless he is so strong that he can ignore the power of the Formation Array within the city."

"What do you mean? Did the City Lord's Mansion use the power of the city's Formation Array to spy on him?"

"I don't know, but that's what I heard from the Patrol Team."

"Oh... then it seems he is indeed the first layer. The City Lord still has some tricks up his sleeve. Even those in the Returning Origin Realm probably can't hide perfectly."

"Alas, the gap between people is truly greater than the gap between humans and beasts."

"With this kind of talent and potential, he will probably soon receive invitations from major powers. I'm truly envious."

"This respected individual's talent is indeed stunning, but looking across the entire Endless Spacetime, such monstrous individuals have appeared before; there have even been those more outrageous than him."

"That may be true, but those legendary figures are too far removed from us. This is someone we've seen with our own eyes, and it's still very exciting!"

"True, but even though he's monstrous, comprehending Dao Rhythm is one hurdle, and breaking through to the Returning Origin Realm after comprehending it is another hurdle. There are quite a few geniuses who fall right before that final step to Returning Origin Realm. If you don't reach Returning Origin Realm, even if you are invincible in the Boundary Realm, you will ultimately still be classified as low-level..."

"..."

People discussed animatedly, some shocked, some envious, and some feeling sour.

"Huh? After he killed the Bone Bloom Squad, he didn't continue into the wilderness or return to the city. Instead, he went to hunt down other Bone Bloom raiding parties?!"

"Holy cow..."

"Is he insane??"

Just as everyone was discussing, Lin Yang, with lightning speed, eliminated another Bone Bloom raiding party and continued toward the remaining teams.

In an instant, the entire city was shaken once more!

"This is truly... too crazy!"

"Is he trying to eliminate all the Bone Bloom raiding parties dispatched outside the city??"

"He's making an eternal enemy of Bone Bloom!"

"He wants to challenge the entire Bone Bloom organization by himself?"

People were stunned yet again!

Bone Bloom, as the largest underground force in Yun Que City, was a nightmare existence in the hearts of everyone within the Yun Que City region.

They were also an existence that could not be provoked.

Yet now, Lin Yang was actually counter-hunting Bone Bloom's raiding parties... This sent shivers down people's spines!

However, after the horror came excitement and anticipation!

"His power is so immense that probably no other member of Bone Bloom, besides the leader, is his match. He might truly be able to severely damage Bone Bloom by himself!"

"Haha, even though there are other underground forces besides Bone Bloom, if he can truly eliminate Bone Bloom, it would be a great thing!"

"Although his power is strong, if he hasn't mastered the Power of Rules from Dao Rhythm, he will likely have a difficult time facing the leader of Bone Bloom..."

"We'll see. Since he dares to do this, he must have some confidence, at least enough to save his life from the Bone Bloom leader."

"That must be it. Even if he isn't a match for the Bone Bloom leader, as long as the leader can't kill him, then until they do, every Bone Bloom member who leaves the city will die. I bet the people of Bone Bloom are having a huge headache right now."

"Who cares if they have a headache? I just feel satisfied!"

"Exactly! It's incredibly gratifying!"

"..."

At this moment, people both inside and outside the city felt a wave of exhilaration.

After all, Bone Bloom's robberies weren't limited to just those inside the city.

They would plunder anyone within the Yun Que City region.

Regardless of the final outcome of Lin Yang's actions, at least until that result came out, he had bought them time and opportunity to avoid being plundered!

He also crushed Bone Bloom's arrogance, essentially venting the frustration for everyone who had been plundered by them.

No one was not excited.

No one was not thrilled!

Suddenly, someone started speculating:

"Do you think he might be the person who previously isolated the He Family?"

This sentence immediately sparked a noisy discussion among the crowd.

"Hmm? That seems unlikely, right? Although his power is strong, it's still too far from being able to isolate a large area within the city for killing."

"Maybe he has other means he hasn't shown yet?"

"That still doesn't make sense. The mysterious expert isolated the He Family to kill someone. If it was him, why would He Linchuan have been killed? That was his disciple!"

"Is there a possibility that the two Bone Bloom guys hidden inside the He Family killed He Linchuan first, and he went to seek revenge?"

"That shouldn't be possible. If those two Bone Bloom people secretly infiltrated the He Family, the He Family couldn't possibly fail to notice!"

"Exactly. The residential compounds in various areas of the city have Formation Array warnings; infiltration is impossible. They can only mask the area and then forcefully attack. The appearance of those two Bone Bloom guys inside the He Family is confusing."

"Could the He Family and Bone Bloom have some secret dealings? Otherwise, it's genuinely hard to explain why those two guys appeared inside the He Family without making a sound."

"Secret collusion? Although the He Family isn't weak, they are incomparable to Bone Bloom. For Bone Bloom to cooperate with the He Family..."

"It must be Lin Yang. The only thing in the He Family that Bone Bloom would care about is the master-disciple relationship between Lin Yang and He Linchuan. Perhaps they were plotting how to deal with Lin Yang and steal his treasure?"

"If that's the case, then it makes a little more sense. Although we don't know the details, according to this deduction, the Bone Bloom people must have killed He Linchuan, and then Lin Yang went for revenge?"

"Could his treasure be a support-type item?"

"A Boundary Realm first layer, no matter how strong his power, couldn't possibly mask such a large area in the city—unless he truly possesses a treasure, and that treasure is a support-type!"

"A support-type treasure capable of isolating all auras within an area in the city is even more valuable than an attack-type one!"

"Haha, everyone's imagination is certainly wild, but it feels about right."

"It seems that if he is that mysterious expert, the sequence must be: Bone Bloom secretly colluded with the He Family to kill He Linchuan; he used that support-type treasure to isolate the He Family and avenge his disciple. Given the power he displayed, the rapid conclusion of the battle after the He Family was isolated also fits."

"..."

The people inside the city opened their minds and brainstormed, quickly surmising the entire sequence of events with high accuracy. Although there were some discrepancies in the details, the overall direction was correct.

It was just a pity that Lin Yang was currently focused on hunting Bone Bloom members; otherwise, upon hearing the deductions of these guys, he would surely praise them for their sharp thinking!

"In that case, if he is that mysterious expert, then his earlier support for He Linxue's ascension wasn't to seize some He Family assets, but genuinely to prop up the He Family for his deceased disciple?"

"Judging by the power he has displayed now, whether he is the mysterious expert or not is irrelevant. His current strength is sufficient to support the He Family!"

"This... the He Family is truly lucky. A relatively untalented He Linchuan exchanged his life for unprecedented prosperity for the He Family!"

"His life was well spent, then. If Lin Yang continues to support the He Family, they will usher in unprecedented prosperity, and it's not impossible for them to become the Sixth Great Family!"

"Haha, those who chose to leave the He Family just now are probably regretting it terribly."

"..."

Suddenly, some people started watching the spectacle.

The reality was indeed so.

After Lin Yang's power was revealed, all the major family forces that had been planning to divide the He Family's assets immediately gave up the idea.

Are you kidding me?

Now, perhaps only those who have mastered the Power of Rules from Dao Rhythm would have the confidence to fight Lin Yang.

Therefore, those family forces instantly slipped away, no longer daring to harbor any covetous thoughts.

Meanwhile, at the gate of the He Family.

Indeed, some people who had previously taken severance pay and chosen to leave had returned!

Furthermore, after the speculation that Lin Yang might be the mysterious expert spread, they immediately knelt at the main gate and shouted:

"Patriarch, we know we were wrong! We were blinded and misled to leave the family just now. Please give us another chance to return to the family!!"

"That's right, Patriarch! We promise to work hard for the family in the future and never be disloyal!!"

"Wuwu... Patriarch, please forgive us this once, for the sake of us being kin..."

Some were yelling, some were weeping; all were regretting their past actions, crying and begging to rejoin the family.

However, He Linxue watched all of this with cold eyes, showing no signs of softening.

She even directly ordered people to drive away everyone who was crying loudly near the He Family gate.

Then, she coldly scanned the crowd and warned them frigidly:

"I will warn you one last time: from the moment you took the money and left, you ceased to have any connection with the He Family, and we are no longer kin."

"If anyone dares to cry loudly or say inauspicious things at my family's gate again, don't blame me for showing no final mercy."

After delivering the warning, He Linxue ordered someone to draw a cordon line in the area near the He Family gate:

"Those who cross the line and cause a disturbance will face the consequences!"

This line was essentially at the boundary between the He Family's private territory and the public area.

Those hundred or so people instantly looked as if they had lost their parents.

Causing a disturbance within the family's territory was fine, but causing a disturbance and gathering a crowd in a public area could lead to immediate expulsion from the city!

He Linxue's coldness made them realize that they had missed the most important opportunity in their lives.

There was no longer any possibility of returning to the He Family.

Some people slowly walked away, crestfallen.

No one dared to say anything more.

Because the Patrol Team had arrived.

Over a hundred people without property in the city would be regarded as vagrants and immediately expelled!

...Outside the city.

Lin Yang finished hunting down the last Bone Bloom raiding party and began his journey back to the city.

Of course, he deliberately walked very slowly.

He wanted to see if the leader of Bone Bloom could resist coming out directly to deal with him.

However, he had somewhat underestimated the Bone Bloom leader's patience.

So far, Bone Bloom had not taken any action or made any response, which was slightly beyond his expectation.

"Quite patient, but I want to see how long you can keep it up!"

After slowly approaching the city entrance area, Lin Yang's eyes flashed, and he entered the city directly.

He now possessed detailed information about Bone Bloom and held considerable initiative. Even if the opponent was patient, their lair was known to him, so they couldn't escape!

Swish.

The next moment, Lin Yang felt his vision blur. The Old Man Grey Robe who had previously given him information quietly appeared before him again, smiling:

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, my Young Master wishes to meet you. Would Your Excellency grant him the honor?"
