37: Jade Glass's Hatred

At this moment, within the Lin Clan, countless forces scrambled to send their congratulations, expressing their goodwill towards the Lin Clan.

This was the Supreme deterrence established by the Lin Clan, which had stood firm in the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain for hundreds of millions of years.

"Jade Void Sect, gifting Saint-Grade medicinal herbs, a pair of ten-million-year-old Ghost King Ganoderma!"

"Heavens, it's a ten-million-year-old Ghost King Ganoderma, that's a priceless treasure!"

"West Ridge Sect, gifting Saint Realm Heaven And Earth Treasure, three pounds of extraterrestrial meteoric iron."

"It's extraterrestrial meteoric iron, a rare item, essential for forging Sacred Artifacts, a gram is worth a thousand gold."

"Great White Sword Sect, gifting Ancient young beasts, one Jade Qilin and one Serene Dragon Fish!"

"What?! A Jade Qilin and a Serene Dragon Fish! These two Ancient young beasts, upon reaching adulthood, can possess the strength of a Half-Saint Realm Expert. The Great White Sword Sect is truly generous; it truly lives up to its reputation as the number one Sect among the Eight Great Powers."

Almost every time a major force's gift was announced, it would invariably draw exclamations and envy from countless smaller forces. This brought honor to the Lin Clan and also to the gifting forces, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Today, within the Lin Clan, various rare treasures and young Ancient exotic beasts, which were rarely seen outside, were piled up as if they were free.

This truly made many people from smaller forces' eyes light up with envy.

However, of course, even if they had a hundred lives, they wouldn't dare to steal.

Not to mention that today, several Saint Realm Ancestors were present in the Lin Clan.

Simply put, the Lin Clan's coronation ceremony today had invited countless forces from the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain, and there were certainly a few super experts among them.

If one were to steal something within the Lin Clan and be discovered by those super experts, it would mean becoming the laughingstock of the entire Ancient Desolate Dao Domain.

Every time a Sect Disciple went out, they would be talked about by others. Under such circumstances, would your Sect still want to continue operating?

Once your reputation was tarnished, countless remedial measures would be useless.

Moreover, this is not to mention whether the Lin Clan would spare the thief, but the force whose gift was stolen would certainly not let it go easily.

As more and more gift-givers arrived, many people gathered within the Lin Clan.

Most of them were engaged in lively discussions, hoping to use this opportunity today to weave a vast network of connections for themselves.

But just then, a clear voice from the Lin Clan's gate announcer suddenly attracted the attention of countless people.

"Sacred Emperor Sect, gifting one sword-shaped Sacred Artifact."

"What? People from the Sacred Emperor Sect are here too?" someone in the crowd exclaimed, looking towards the entrance.

A beautiful woman with an indifferent expression walked in, as arrogant as an empress.

"Who is this person? Her Aura is so strong. Could she be a ten-thousand-year-old monster who Cultivated the art of rejuvenation?"

"Are you sure this is someone from the Sacred Emperor Sect? Our Sect and the Sacred Emperor Sect are old family friends, but I don't remember anyone like her in the Sacred Emperor Sect."

"Look at her Aura, she's at the Peak King Sealing Realm. I guess she must be an Old Ancestor of the Sacred Emperor Sect who recently awakened."

"I don't know if she's from the Sacred Emperor Sect, but she's really beautiful. Even the princess of the Imperial Dynasty in the neighboring Dao Domain isn't as beautiful as her."

"That's true."

Countless forces looked at the representative of the Sacred Emperor Sect, discussing animatedly.

There was curiosity, praise, and a lively atmosphere.

The woman they were talking about was none other than...

Yu Liuli, the Ancient Prodigy of the Sacred Emperor Sect, who had suddenly awakened from her slumber a few months ago, vowing to kill Lin Xiao to vent her hatred.

Ignoring the chatter around her, Yu Liuli feigned indifference and walked up to Lin Changtian, the Lin Clan Chief.

She looked up at Lin Changtian, and her calm eyes seemed to hold a hint of emotion.

"Sigh, still so familiar," Yu Liuli thought to herself.

Looking at Lin Changtian: "Father-in-law… oh, no, Clan Chief Lin, my name is Yu Liuli. I have been ordered by my Old Ancestor Qingxu to attend the Lin Clan's ceremony."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Yu Liuli immediately realized she had misspoken and quickly corrected herself, a faint blush appearing on her face.

However, this faint blush completely disappeared when Yu Liuli recalled Lin Xiao's past actions towards her, and her Aura became cold again.

"Haha, so it's the Heaven's Proud Daughter from the ancient era of the Sacred Emperor Sect, what a pleasure to meet you!" Lin Changtian laughed after hearing Yu Liuli's self-introduction, not noticing the subtle change in Yu Liuli's demeanor.

Yu Liuli saw this and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing Yu Liuli's words, the other forces present, besides the Lin Clan, began to discuss animatedly.

"The Lin Clan and the Sacred Emperor Sect truly deserve their reputation as old family friends for hundreds of millions of years. The Ancient Prodigies of other immortal forces are still hiding, but the Sacred Emperor Sect has directly sent an Ancient Prodigy to attend the Lin Clan's ceremony."

"Indeed. And they even gifted a legendary Sacred Artifact. To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen a complete Sacred Artifact."

While everyone was talking, Yu Liuli had already taken a seat in the chair specially prepared for the Sacred Emperor Sect by the Lin Clan. She looked around, searching for Lin Xiao's figure.

"What's going on? According to my memories before Rebirth, as the fourth in line of the Lin Clan, shouldn't Lin Xiao be here today with his father, as well as Lin Caifeng and Lin Haotian, to entertain the distinguished guests?" Yu Liuli muttered.

She looked around and saw Lin Caifeng and Lin Haotian, but she didn't see Lin Xiao.

"Excuse me, may I ask where Young Master Lin Xiao of your Clan is currently?" Yu Liuli searched for a long time but still didn't see Lin Xiao, so she casually found a maid from the Lin Clan and asked.

The maid simply assumed Yu Liuli was one of Lin Xiao's admirers and didn't ask further, casually replying, "Reporting to this Young Miss, our Young Lord Lin Xiao, as the first in line of our Lin Clan, should currently be in the ancestral land bathing and changing, preparing for the upcoming coronation ceremony."

After speaking, the maid left.

Yu Liuli, however, was stunned after hearing the maid's words.

"First in line? When did that vicious scoundrel Lin Xiao become the first in line? Wasn't he the fourth in line?"

"No, I must find someone to clarify this."

Yu Liuli thought, her gaze falling on Lin Haotian not far away, and her eyes lit up.

She called Lin Haotian over, and just as she was about to ask about the Lin Clan's succession order...

But when Yu Liuli noticed the Aura on Lin Haotian, she suddenly froze.

"Isn't Lin Haotian's Physique an Innate Sword Bone? How did it become the Supreme Sword Physique now? How strange." Yu Liuli muttered in her heart.

"Hello, esteemed guest, is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Haotian asked, somewhat puzzled, seeing Yu Liuli call him over but not speaking.

"Forget it, whatever his Physique, I should first figure out where that scoundrel Lin Xiao is," Yu Liuli thought to herself.

She was about to ask about Lin Xiao, but before the words could leave her mouth...

She saw Lin Xiao, dressed in luxurious robes, walking into the main hall with a child, chatting and laughing.

In an instant, Yu Liuli was enraged, and the hatred in her heart erupted completely.

She was about to rush forward and kill Lin Xiao, but upon sensing Lin Xiao's Cultivation and clearly seeing who the child beside Lin Xiao was, Yu Liuli immediately froze in place.
