77: Aftermath

Thump! Crack! Bang bang!

After the great battle, the isolated Ji Bai was thoroughly dealt with.

First, the old monsters of the Holy Emperor Sect directly crippled his cultivation, then cruelly dug out the Supreme Bone from his body, and finally threw the harmless Ji Bai to the Lin Clan people to vent their anger.

And the Lin Clan, having experienced the catastrophe of their clan being exterminated and many of their people dying tragically, were already furious beyond measure.

Simply killing Ji Bai was no longer enough to quell their rage.

They wanted this naturally born Supreme from the Upper Realm to experience what it meant to wish for death before he died!

Immediately, the Lin Clan, in order to torment Ji Bai, began to display their Divine Abilities.

“You dog bastard, you killed my wife, children, and elders without batting an eye. Today, I will make sure you beg for death but cannot find it!”

Someone brought dozens of livestock, fed Ji Bai strange medicines, and forced him to continuously mate with the animals.

After Ji Bai could no longer continue, someone even made him switch from offense to defense.

This went on dozens of times, with extremely cruel methods.

Both Ji Bai’s body and Soul were completely ravaged.

Even the old monsters of the Holy Emperor Sect, who had witnessed many tortures in the world, felt a chill down their spines and could not bear to watch.

However, compared to the slaughter Ji Bai had committed earlier, even tormenting him a hundred more times would probably not be enough for the Lin Clan to vent their anger.

Therefore, not many people were willing to sympathize with such an executioner.

After all, if not for that drop of Lin Yang’s blood today, perhaps everyone present would have been crushed to death on the spot by Ji Bai’s Great Emperor grandfather.

How could they still have the opportunity to exclaim about the cruelty here?

“Lin Yang!”

Just as many of the Lin Clan were busy tormenting Ji Bai to vent their anger, Lin Canghai and Su Xin hurried over.

The expressions on their faces were incredibly complex, with joy, pride, and endless emotion.

As Lin Yang’s parents, they were deeply honored and proud to have such an outstanding son.

“Father, Mother.”

Looking at the two middle-aged parents with excited expressions, Lin Yang also smiled and walked forward to greet them.

“Good child, you’ve grown up!”

“To see you achieve such accomplishments today, even if your mother and I truly died this time, we would have no regrets!”

Lin Canghai stretched out his large hand and heavily patted Lin Yang’s shoulder.

Lin Canghai had spent most of his life confined to the Lin Clan’s small territory, achieving little of significance.

The thing he was most proud of in his life was having such a good son as Lin Yang.

Seeing Lin Yang had now grown into a strong individual capable of standing on his own, he couldn’t express how happy he was.

It truly was a death without regrets.

“What nonsense are you talking about? I haven’t even seen Lin Yang bring a wife home for me and have a big, fat grandson, how can I die now?”

As soon as Lin Canghai finished speaking, Su Xin, beside him, elbowed him hard and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

“Hahaha, Mother is right. Father and Mother must live well, perhaps in the future, you’ll still need to help me take care of the children,” Lin Yang laughed.

“Hehe, then you better hurry up. Your mother often talks about wanting to hold a grandson…”

“……”

After a while, after comforting his parents, Lin Yang turned to the Saintess Ji Ru Qianlong and the old monsters of the Holy Emperor Sect, solemnly expressing his gratitude.

Although, apart from the Saintess Ji Ru Qianlong, the other old monsters didn’t help at all and were all kneeling on the ground.

However, this gesture of providing help in a time of need was extremely precious.

Unconsciously, it also greatly increased Lin Yang’s recognition of the Holy Emperor Sect.

Especially Ji Ru Qianlong’s self-sacrificing act.

Even now, Lin Yang still found it somewhat unbelievable.

Why was this Saintess so concerned about his safety?

“Could it be… the Saintess truly fell in love with him?!”

Only love would make a powerful female protagonist lose her rationality!

Lin Yang looked at Ji Ru Qianlong thoughtfully.

Under his gaze, Ji Ru Qianlong merely met his eyes for a moment before immediately averting her gaze, a clear hint of evasiveness appearing on her face.

Seeing Ji Ru Qianlong afraid to meet his gaze, Lin Yang became even more convinced of his inner thoughts.

This Saintess actually liked him!

Ji Ru Qianlong pretended to gaze into the distance, her eyes fixed straight ahead, while secretly muttering in her heart: “Why is Lin Yang staring at me? Could it be that he’s fallen for me?”

“But we are people from different times and spaces, something would go wrong if we were together…”

……

Upper Realm.

Moonlight Divine Hall.

At the peak of the divine mountain, clouds steamed and mist swirled, hazy and indistinct.

Within the mist, a peerlessly beautiful figure in white robes, whiter than snow, slowly emerged.

The woman was as graceful as a startled swan, as agile as a soaring Dragon, with brows like distant mountains, eyes like a starry sea, a face like congealed cream, skin like white snow, a waist like a bound sash, and teeth like contained pearls. Her temperament was like a painting, beautiful as a dream, beyond compare.

It was Li Shiya, the Divine Maiden of the Moonlight Divine Hall.

At this moment, Li Shiya’s bright eyes gazed in the direction where the Emperor battle had previously occurred, a look of trance appearing in her beautiful eyes.

Just now, she had actually sensed the aura of that old acquaintance from five hundred years ago!

“Is it him?”

“Impossible, I personally sent him off for the last time five hundred years ago…”

……

Upper Realm.

Emperor Clan, Ji Clan.

“Sacred Body brat!!!”

In an Ancient Realm, the severely weakened Emperor Anlan roared in anger, his voice shaking the universe, collapsing a section of the Void Realm.

In his hand, he held a shattered life tablet.

That was Ji Bai’s life tablet.

Now shattered, it meant he was dead.

That was their Ji Clan’s naturally born Supreme, with the potential to become an Emperor, yet he had died in vain in the Lower Realm.

It was truly a huge loss!

“Old Ancestor, calm your anger. That Sacred Body brat from the Lower Realm was only able to harm you by relying on the power of that peculiar drop of blood.”

“Now, presumably, the power of that blood has disappeared. If we meet again, there’s no need for Old Ancestor to act; any one of our Ji Clan’s strong individuals can capture and kill that boy.”

A middle-aged man in a golden robe stood behind him, speaking respectfully.

“Hmph! Easier said than done. Now that the Sea of Laws has been ignited by the Emperor battle, sealing the passage between the two realms, how can there still be an opportunity to capture this child?” Emperor Anlan snorted coldly.

Just thinking about the scene where Lin Yang was publicly beaten earlier, even with Emperor Anlan’s ancient, unperturbed state of mind as a six-generation Emperor, a few veins still throbbed on his forehead.

He wished he could immediately descend to the Lower Realm and capture that boy!

“Old Ancestor, I have already investigated clearly. Although the passage between the two realms is sealed by the Sea of Laws, there are still some spatial rifts that can be utilized. Strong individuals above the Saint level cannot descend to the Lower Realm, but sending a few exceptionally talented juniors down is not a problem.”

The golden-robed man spoke respectfully again.

“Oh?”

Emperor Anlan pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said: “It’s not about the number of soldiers, but their quality.”

“You go and make arrangements. After this storm passes, have Ji Kun long secretly descend to the Lower Realm to complete the mission that Bai’er failed to complete. Additionally, after he completes the mission, he must find an opportunity to capture that Sacred Body brat named Lin Yang from the Lower Realm and bring him back to the Ji Clan!”

“Yes, Old Ancestor!”

The golden-robed man respectfully agreed, then accepted the order and departed.

……

Western Wilderness.

Deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Rumble!

Not long after the Emperor battle erupted in the Eastern Wilderness, a violent tremor suddenly came from deep within the mountain range. A vast and mighty world-shaking aura emanated, shaking the Ten Thousand Mountains, and millions of Vicious Beasts prostrated on the ground.

Then, beams of light shot out from the various great mountains, and countless rays of light converged in mid-air, gradually forming a protective light barrier that covered the sky.

The moment the light barrier formed, a phantom image of an Ancient Tomb quietly appeared in the Void Realm deep within the mountain range…
