153: Chapter 153 The Holy Lord's Voice Transmission: Laying the Line to Fish!

He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles cracking, but he didn't dare utter another word.

The Grand Elder looked up at the divine decree high in the sky, his chest feeling heavy and tight.

Luo Qinghan stood on the Yaochi Jade Platform, her long sword in hand, letting out a cold snort.

"It doesn't matter if you roll away slowly."

"I happen to have another sword strike to send your way!"

As soon as these words fell.

The Grand Elder's old face could no longer maintain its composure.

If he continued to make a scene, he wouldn't just be facing Luo Qinghan, but the entire Heavenly Profound Holy Land.

No matter how foolish he was, he wouldn't be so stupid as to keep resisting at this moment.

The old man gave his sleeves a heavy flick, sweeping up Xu Tian and the other Elders of Heaven and Earth Gate, and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Fine, Heavenly Profound Holy Land, remember this day!"

The Void Realm shook as the group fled in a pathetic state.

Even their departing figures carried an air of utter humiliation.

Inside and outside Yaochi, everyone finally breathed a true sigh of relief.

Xu Chen stared at the horizon and clicked his tongue twice.

"These old fogies came here in a rage, but they ran away like dogs being chased."

"As the saying goes, they came with a grand display of power, only to end up losing all their face!"

Chu Wanqing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Xu Chen, since when did you learn to recite poetry!"

Shen Qingyue stood beside Lin Yi, her previously tense shoulders relaxing slightly.

She didn't look at the horizon, but only turned her head to glance at Lin Yi.

That glance was very light.

But it was very warm.

Lin Yi noticed that her palm still carried a bit of chill, so he naturally took her hand.

"It's all right now."

Shen Qingyue nodded gently.

"Mm!"

The storm had just been suppressed.

Luo Qinghan landed, turned her face, and gave Lin Yi a look.

"Follow me."

Lin Yi didn't say much and stepped forward to follow her.

The two of them, one after the other, walked to a quiet Jade Bridge by the Yaochi Holy Lake.

A lake breeze swept past.

The faint fragrance of the Flat Peach Forest in the distance lingered.

After Luo Qinghan stood still, she raised her hand to set up a layer of isolating Restriction and got straight to the point.

"The fact that Wang Shuo was able to return alive last time wasn't because he was tough."

"It was because the Holy Land deliberately let him go, intentionally sparing his wretched life!"

Lin Yi's brows rose slightly, his expression calm.

Luo Qinghan glanced at him and continued.

"The Wang Family lost Wang Teng and Wang Lie, and they've exhausted many of their trump cards; they can't suppress the resentment in their hearts."

"With the scene Xu Tian caused today, Heaven and Earth Gate has also completely stepped out into the open."

"If they only hid in the shadows to plot, it would actually be more troublesome to clean them up."

"But if they dare to band together, unite with old enemies, and stretch out their claws all at once, then things will be much simpler."

Hearing this, the corners of Lin Yi's lips twitched.

The Holy Land was casting a line.

Casting a line long enough.

Waiting for the Wang Family, Heaven and Earth Gate, and those scumbags outside who still haven't given up to all take the bait, then they would catch them all in one net.

Luo Qinghan's tone remained cold.

"The Holy Lord's meaning is very clear."

"This time, we aren't afraid of them gathering; we're only afraid they won't!"

"The remnants of the Wang Family, Heaven and Earth Gate, and those fence-sitters who want to stir up trouble whenever the wind blows—it's best if they all gather together."

"It saves us from having to find them one by one later."

After listening, Lin Yi smiled.

The smile was very faint, yet it carried a bone-chilling coldness.

"Then let's not leave the net empty."

"This Disciple will fully cooperate with the Holy Land to pull in the net!"

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Luo Qinghan's eyes.

She raised her hand and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder.

"That's more like it."

"When cutting grass, one must remove the roots."

"To prevent filthy things from constantly popping up."

Lin Yi nodded.

"This Disciple understands."

Luo Qinghan looked outside again and added indifferently.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave these few days."

"If the other side really has the guts, their next move will surface soon."

"Once they jump out again, my Revered Master and the Holy Lord will send them on their final journey!"

Lin Yi raised his eyes, his smile deepening.

"Then this Disciple will first observe a moment of silence for them."

Luo Qinghan's lips curved up rarely, a faint smile rippling in her eyes as she gave a light scoff.

"You certainly are kind-hearted."

"When you have time, coax that girl Yu Xi more and keep her settled, so as to prevent a fire in your backyard."

Lin Yi: "..."

The two of them removed the Restriction and returned to the jade platform.

At this time, the Holy Mother of Yaochi had already brought Ji Yaoguang and several Elders to wait there.

The Holy Mother had just recovered from a serious illness, and her complexion was much better than before.

When she looked at Lin Yi and Luo Qinghan, her expression was very solemn.

First, she gave a slight bow to Peak Master Luo, then raised her head to bow toward the divine decree in the high sky that had not yet dispersed.

"For today's matter, I thank Peak Master Luo and Holy Lord Zhou."

"Yaochi will remember this."

Luo Qinghan waved her hand.

"No need for thanks."

"Since my Disciple is here with you, it's only right to protect him."

After saying that, she turned her head to look at Lin Yi, her tone suddenly becoming serious.

"Lin Yi, your Revered Master and the Holy Lord still have important matters to discuss and arrange."

"Behave yourself these few days; do not act recklessly."

"If you want to fish, you must first keep an eye on the bait."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen immediately stepped forward half a pace.

"Peak Master Luo, please rest assured."

"I'll keep an eye on Big Brother."

"Wherever Big Brother goes, I'll follow, serving as a personal bodyguard."

Luo Qinghan glanced at the little fatty.

"Keep an eye on yourself first."

"If you rush in recklessly again, a single shockwave from a Quasi-Emperor could send you rolling eight hundred miles away."

Xu Chen shrunk his neck and gave a cheeky laugh.

"Then I'll stay even closer to Big Brother and hug his thighs tightly!"

The atmosphere in the field relaxed quite a bit.

However, the Holy Mother of Yaochi did not join in the laughter.

She was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her right hand and made a cut on her wrist with her fingertip.

A strand of black line was forcefully forced out of her body by her.

As soon as that thing appeared, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped a notch.

The spiritual mist floating on the lake surface became turbulent.

Even several nearby peach leaves silently curled at the edges.

Ji Yaoguang's expression changed.

"Mother, this..."

The Holy Mother raised her hand to stop her, then handed the strand of black line to Lin Yi.

"This is the last strand of sickness within my body."

"Most of it was previously forced out by the Medicinal Pill, leaving only this strand, which was hidden very deeply."

"Over the years, Yaochi has checked many ancient books and consulted many Seniors, but we have never been able to identify its origin."

"We only know that this thing is related to a certain ancient restricted zone."

Speaking to this point, her tone became heavier.

"Saint Lin, since you have a way to handle this thing, I will leave it to you."

"Perhaps it will be of help to you."

Lin Yi did not stand on ceremony; he raised his hand to take it and placed it inside the immortal burial coffin.

The moment that strand of sickness entered the coffin, a strange emotion surged into his heart.

Decay, ruin, and coldness, making one lose their composure.

Lin Yi's eyes darkened, and the Primordial Immortal Pupil opened accordingly.

The black thread slowly elongated within the pupil's power.

Within it were hidden extremely faint remnant patterns, intermittent, like a projection left by some ancient terrain.

Shen Qingyue was standing close by, and the Shen Family ancient seal in her palm also began to tremble.

Her fingers quickly clenched, her knuckles turning white.

Chu Wanqing approached a few steps, her nose wrinkling.

"Brother Lin Yi, this thing is so scary."

"Just one look makes one feel uncomfortable."

Xu Chen also poked his head over for a look and immediately shrunk back.

"Holy cow."

"This thing is even more annoying than Xu Tian!"

The originally somewhat serious atmosphere was changed by this single sentence of his.

Chu Wanqing almost laughed again.

But in the next moment.

Su Yuxi suddenly raised her hand and spoke softly.

"Let me see."

Lin Yi turned to look at her and cautioned carefully.

"Be careful, this thing is very strange!"
