97: A Saint Realm expert who was diluted with water

But as soon as he finished speaking.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, with a violent explosion.

The entire sky was instantly covered by a scorching, hot Qi.

The space three hundred meters around the middle-aged man was also sealed by a strange spatial force.

No matter how he struggled, he couldn't shake that strange spatial force in the slightest.

"Damn it, what's going on?"

"May I ask which Senior is residing here, and why are you attacking this Junior without reason?" the middle-aged man asked.

He looked around in all directions with eyes filled with infinite fear.

But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find a single trace of anyone else.

"Damn it, could it be that the plan has been exposed?"

"But that's impossible. The total number of people involved in this plan doesn't exceed ten."

"Could it be those two?" the middle-aged man murmured.

He thought of Wushan and Tian Yi.

However, this idea had barely appeared in his mind before he quickly dismissed it.

Because Wushan and Tian Yi had never left his sight since they learned about the plan.

Therefore, he deduced that it couldn't have been those two who leaked the secret.

"If it wasn't those two, could there be a traitor in the Xiao Family?" the middle-aged man wondered.

But soon, he couldn't think about it anymore.

Because at the very moment the space around him was sealed, he saw four figures.

They were slowly emerging from a spatial rift—it was Lin Xiao and the three recently revived Lin Clan Ancestors.

"Lin Xiao! And three Saint Realm Experts?"

"Who are you? Why have I never seen you on any list of Saints in the Lin Clan?" the middle-aged man asked, somewhat fearfully, looking at the three Lin Clan Ancestors behind Lin Xiao.

He had basically seen most of the lists of Saints in the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain, but for some reason, three Saint Realm Experts he had never seen before had appeared in the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain today.

"Could they be newly promoted Saint Realm Experts?" the middle-aged man wondered.

However, this idea had barely appeared before he dismissed it.

Because the cultivation of Lin Qianhe and the other two was truly terrifying; they were almost all top-tier experts among Saint Realm Experts.

Beings of this level absolutely could not have become Saints only within the last hundred thousand years.

After some thought, a terrifying idea that made him shudder emerged in his mind.

"Could these three Saints be beings from the Lin Clan who have been in seclusion for tens of millions of years and were erased from the history of the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and the middle-aged man began to feel a bit scared.

Because this Ancient Desolate Dao Domain didn't seem as simple as he had imagined.

If the Lin Clan had such hidden Old Ancestors, then did the other seven great immortal powers also have them?

If this added up to thirty or forty more Saint Realm Experts.

His Xiao Family's plan would probably fall through.

"Hmph, you want to kill my Lin Clan Divine Son, and you still ask who we are."

"Your brain must have been kicked by a donkey, you scum of the Xiao Family."

Lin Qianhe scoffed, looking at the middle-aged man.

He thoroughly hated the Xiao Family; they had tried to kill Lin Xiao repeatedly, which was practically trying to lead the Lin Clan to its demise.

"You... you old geezer, how dare you insult me?"

Upon hearing Lin Qianhe's words, the middle-aged man immediately spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Since childhood, he had been a Genius praised by the Xiao Family.

With his extraordinary talent, he had achieved the Saint Realm in just a few million years, admired and praised by countless people.

But now, someone was actually insulting him like this—this was simply outrageous!

"Tsk tsk tsk, your Dao Heart isn't strong enough. You're already spitting blood from anger?"

"I really don't know how you became a Saint. Did you take some shortcut?" Lin Yuanzhi laughed, looking at the middle-aged man's disheveled appearance.

He was no longer surprised that this member of the Xiao Family, whom he considered a younger generation Disciple, could become a Saint.

To have his Dao Heart destabilized by a single sentence—how could this be through a legitimate path to Sainthood?

Either he consumed some Heaven-Defying medicine, or he used some strange secret technique.

Otherwise, someone without even a basic Dao Heart could never achieve the Saint Realm in their lifetime.

As soon as Lin Yuanzhi spoke, the middle-aged man immediately broke down.

"You old geezer, what do you know? I was trapped in the Half-Saint Realm for a full five hundred thousand years."

"Do you know how I spent those five hundred thousand years? Becoming a Saint was my greatest wish in this life; if I didn't become a Saint, I would die."

"Anyway, you old geezers wouldn't understand. The era I was born in was far from the Golden Great Age. In my era, no matter how Heaven-Defying one's talent, they couldn't achieve the Saint Realm."

"But I was unwilling! I, Xiao Tianzhan, was born extraordinary. Why should I be unable to achieve the Saint Realm just because I was born in the wrong era?"

"I hate it, I hate it! But thankfully, just as I was about to despair, Jue Tian Palace sent me a Saint-Breaking Pill, allowing me to successfully enter the Saint Realm."

"From then on, I swore that I, Xiao Tianzhan, would definitely go through fire and water for Jue Tian Palace, without hesitation."

"Jue Tian Palace's mission for me was to conquer the entire Ancient Desolate Dao Domain, but since you are now blocking my path, you will die with me."

Saying this, the middle-aged man, Xiao Tianzhan, suddenly burst into laughter.

At the same time, a violent energy fluctuation erupted from his body.

"No, he wants to self-destruct!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, a strong sense of crisis rising in his heart.

The power unleashed by a Saint Realm Expert's self-destruction was unimaginable.

If he wasn't careful, Lin Xiao might die here, reduced to dust.

"Don't worry, with the three of us here, he won't be able to self-destruct." But just then, Lin Yuanzhi suddenly laughed, looking disdainfully in the direction of Xiao Tianzhan, and waved his hand.

Instantly, space trembled, and spatial runes filled the sky, swarming to surround Xiao Tianzhan.

In no time, Xiao Tianzhan, who had intended to self-destruct, instantly became like an old man on his last legs.

The terrifying energy he originally possessed completely vanished at this moment.

"This... how is this possible? Could it be the Lin Clan's Seal Sovereign Scripture?" Xiao Tianzhan roared in disbelief.

"You know, yet you still ask? Do you really want this Old Ancestor to treat you like an idiot?" Lin Yuanzhi laughed, about to kill Xiao Tianzhan directly.

But just then, Lin Xiao's voice suddenly rang out.

"Old Ancestor, wait a moment. Leave this person to me; he is of great use," Lin Xiao laughed.

"Oh? Still useful?"

"Alright, then I'll leave him to you. Let's see what kind of tricks you can pull off, young man," Lin Yuanzhi said, looking at Lin Xiao with some anticipation.

"Greetings, Young Master."

At the same time, the voices of Wushan and Tian Yi sounded behind Lin Xiao.
