154: Madness

Seeing this scene, several Elders hurriedly restrained him.

"Lin Tianming! What has gotten into you?! Why are you attacking your own kin?!"

The young Cultivator known as Lin Tianming ignored them, struggling continuously in the Elders' grip, with drool even flowing from his mouth.

"What is going on?! Why has he suddenly gone insane?!"

"Could it be that there has been some unexpected change within the Lingxu Battlefield?"

"Impossible! Even if he encountered some fatal calamity within the Lingxu Battlefield, it should absolutely not affect reality! Go and investigate! What exactly happened!"

"..."

Several Elders of the Family hurriedly reported this matter to their Lin Family Head.

But at this moment, the Lin Family Head was in his son's room, looking at the young man before him with a face full of smiles.

The young man was handsome, like an immortal descended to the mortal world, surrounded by wisps of Dao Rhyme. Between his eyebrows was a golden mark, and his features bore a slight resemblance to Lin Ye.

The child of the past had now grown into a young man.

Judging solely by the Dao Rhyme enveloping him, his strength was terrifying.

This was the reason why the Chang Sheng Lin Family had been growing increasingly powerful in the Upper Domain lately—entirely because their Family had produced a peerless Prodigy capable of leading the younger generation!

The gaze the Lin Family Head directed toward his son was filled with pride.

Just at this moment, urgent knocking sounded at the door.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Hearing the knocking, the Lin Family Head frowned. He had previously stated that he was not to be disturbed, no matter what happened.

He had not expected someone to be so tactless as to knock at such a time.

"Family Head! Family Head!"

Hearing the voice, the Lin Family Head was visibly startled. He had recognized that the person coming was one of his own direct-lineage Elders.

This was not someone comparable to a collateral-lineage Elder.

Creak...

The Lin Family Head pushed the wooden door open directly.

The Elder immediately spoke, "Family Head, something may have happened in the Lingxu Battlefield."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, the Lin Family Head was somewhat puzzled. The Lingxu Battlefield had existed for many epochs and had never encountered any issues.

Therefore, all major and minor forces were at ease letting their younger generations go to the Lingxu Battlefield. If something had truly happened inside...

It would likely cause tremors across the Ten Thousand Domains.

The Lin Family Head said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"Lin Tianming from the collateral line has awakened from the Lingxu Battlefield, but he has become insane and even attacked his own kin."

"I sent people out to scout for information, but discovered that so far, only our Family's people have become like this."

"only one person?"

"..."

Hearing the Family Head's question, the Lin Family Elder had intended to say something, but he suddenly received a sound transmission. His face immediately turned serious as he said, "Now there are two. Both people have gone mad after waking up."

"What?!"

The Lin Family Head's pupils constricted.

If it were one person, it might be a coincidence, but if two people were like this, then it was a major problem.

And furthermore, only his Lin Family's people were affected, while people from other forces were not?

In the current Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, who would dare to target their Chang Sheng Lin Family!

The catastrophe from many years ago had already passed; who was still targeting them?!

The Lin Family Head pondered for a moment. "Use the Soul-Searching Technique to investigate their memories!"

"We have already tried!"

The Lin Family Elder smiled bitterly. "I do not know what happened. After they went insane, even their memories became chaotic. The only useful piece of information is that a young man said one sentence to Lin Tianming. He said..."

"The ones he slaughters are the people of the Lin Family."

"How bold!!!"

The Lin Family Head was also shocked by this young man's arrogance.

This sentence was not said casually; it was clearly targeting his Chang Sheng Lin Family.

In the current Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which force would dare to target them so blatantly? Were they not afraid of igniting a Chang Sheng War?!

The Lin Family Head also realized where the problem lay: that so-called young man was clearly targeting their Lin Family!

"Send people to investigate and see who that arrogant brat is! I want to slaughter him!"

"Yes!"

The Lin Family Elder immediately turned and left, while the Lin Family Head returned to the room. Looking at his son's appearance, he said softly, "Minger, in the future of this Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, you will surely shake the world with your Emperor's might!"

"I believe that you will also be able to display your innate kingly Aura within this Lingxu Battlefield!"

...

Inside the Lingxu Battlefield.

The remaining Prodigies of the Lin Family looked at Lin Ye in front of them with horror.

Just a moment ago, they had already lost three people!

And they were all cut down with a single sword strike. The other party had not even used his Magic Treasure; using a finger as a sword—how terrifying!

Why had they never heard of such a person before?!

Even if it were the Lower Domain, someone with such talent would likely have been rumored to be in the Upper Domain.

What exactly went wrong?!

And what kind of deep hatred did this person before them have against the Lin Family?!

Lin Ye smiled as he looked at the remaining Lin Family Prodigies and said, "I will ask one question. If you answer, you live; if you do not, you die."

"Hehe!"

One of the Lin Family Prodigies let out a cold laugh. "Even if you are strong enough to kill us here in the Lingxu Battlefield, so what? This is not the real world. We will still be alive after we leave, but the Chang Sheng Lin Family will remember you! Lin Ye!!!"

"Oh?"

Lin Ye deliberately put on an expression of surprise.

"So that is how it is. It turns out that one cannot truly kill you in the Lingxu Battlefield?"

"..."

Everyone naturally saw the issue with Lin Ye's exaggerated expression.

One of the Lin Family Prodigies asked with some astonishment, "What do you mean?!"

Hum...

Lin Ye did not answer the other party; instead, he directly unleashed his Dao of Slaughter.

Once this Dao of Slaughter appeared, everyone once again felt a sense of difficulty breathing.

But they did not understand what the other party meant by this.

A moment later, someone finally reacted and looked at Lin Ye with horror. "This intent of slaughter is directly affecting the Divine Soul?!"

Divine Soul!

That is, the Soul of a Cultivator. Generally speaking, the Divine Soul is also extremely fragile, and Bao techniques targeting the Divine Soul are terrifying to the extreme.

If one were to accidentally fall for it and the Divine Soul were damaged, the best case would be the collapse of their path of cultivation, and the worst case would be turning into an idiot directly.

Never mind cultivation; even being a normal person would be difficult.

Therefore, upon feeling this intent of slaughter from Lin Ye, the Lin Family Prodigies were filled with expressions of horror.

They were deeply afraid that the other party's intent of slaughter would affect their own Divine Souls.

"No, that is impossible! Even if his intent of slaughter is powerful, how could it possibly affect us in reality!"

"That is right! Although Cultivation Techniques targeting the Divine Soul are rare, they are not non-existent. If they were truly useful in this Lingxu Battlefield, the Family would have warned us long ago!"
