292: The Changsheng Lin family is here!

Therefore, the Martial Saint Emperor wanted to strike against Lin Ye immediately.

But he could not!

At this moment, the veins on his arms were bulging, yet Lin Ye, witnessing all of this, showed no intention of defending himself.

He merely gently rubbed the blood-colored rosary with his hand.

After a long while, the Martial Saint Emperor seemed to have thought of something and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Lin Ye, you really are too clever. With such talent and such a vicious eye, I must say, if I were of the same generation as you, I might have completely lost confidence after being crushed by you."

"Rest assured, I will not strike against you, and you also know that I cannot strike against you! I cannot afford to provoke your Supreme Bliss Holy Land for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye spoke indifferently: "Let me correct you: it is the Righteous Qi Sect."

"Hmm?"

The Martial Saint Emperor glanced at Lin Ye in surprise. After noticing the other's expression, he said with deep meaning: "I have heard about your affairs before. A Cultivator of the Righteous Path? The Righteous Qi Sect? Hahahaha, I originally thought you were being kept in the dark, but now it seems..."

"It turns out everyone has been kept in the dark by you."

"In this Golden Age, the Prodigies who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you can be counted on one's fingers."

Lin Ye spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The Martial Saint Emperor praises me too highly."

"How about we make a deal?"

The Martial Saint Emperor finally began his true purpose.

"Mingyue is your future Dao Companion; she is a very good match for you. But since you now know my thoughts, you can understand why I want this position of Martial Saint Emperor."

"Only one's own strength is true strength; background forces are merely external objects. Ten thousand years later, isn't it all just a handful of yellow earth? Even if one attains the Dao, how long can one really live?"

"Therefore, I give you a promise: I can temporarily hand the position of Martial Saint Emperor to Mingyue, but in the future, when I have lived another life, the position must be returned to me!"

"At that time, I will gift you an Opportunity."

"There is one more thing. You should have heard by now that the Chang Sheng Lin Family has sent people down. I can strike against these people for you and slaughter them all. Even in the future, if you want to conquer the Upper Domain, I can help."

"If I fail to live another life, this Imperial Dynasty will belong to the two of you. No matter what, you will not lose out. This is my sincerity!"

The Martial Saint Emperor looked at Lin Ye with burning eyes, awaiting his reply.

Lin Ye chuckled: "A win-win deal; I have no objections. However, the people from the Chang Sheng Lin Family do not need you to deal with them; I can handle it personally. You only need to tell me their location."

"Good!"

The Martial Saint Emperor was full of joy: "I truly did not misjudge you! Rest assured, today's matters are known only to the two of us. Since the deal is struck, I will not keep you, but before you leave, go and see Mingyue's mother."

"She is incredibly satisfied with you as her virtuous son-in-law. Earlier, she even threatened me, saying I could not strike against you. Go and see her so she can rest easy. This is my token."

As he said this, the Martial Saint Emperor handed a token to Lin Ye.

"With this token, you can go anywhere in this palace, except for the ancestral grounds. The Empress is at the Phoenix Dance Palace; you may go."

"Hmm."

Lin Ye took the token, nodded, and then turned to leave.

After the Martial Saint Emperor was left alone in the study, the look of joy on his face vanished, replaced by a cold chill.

"Lin Ye, you are truly too clever, and your talent is too strong. On the path to immortality, you are an obstacle. When I have lived another life..."

...

In the Ninth Prince's palace.

His mother, Consort Shu, brought a group of people. These people exuded a powerful Aura, and the leader was a young girl.

She seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Dressed in luxurious clothes, with a quirky and spirited Aura, and those bright, large eyes, she was truly a beauty in the making. Who else could it be but the Lin Family's Lin Yueer?

She was different from her previous unruly self; a trace of fear occasionally flickered in her eyes.

Clearly, she had been left with deep psychological trauma by Lin Ye in the Lingxu Battlefield.

The reason the Lin Family brought Lin Yueer to the Lower Domain this time was because the Lin Family Head felt that Lin Yueer's Dao Heart was damaged, so he let her see with her own eyes that Lin Ye was defeated and even killed. Only then, he estimated, would she be able to recover.

The Lin Family members who came to the Lower Domain this time, apart from Lin Yueer, were all powerhouses of the older generation.

There were over a dozen of them!

It is evident how much the Lin Family values Lin Ye!

Seeing the heavenly beautiful Lin Yueer, the Ninth Prince's eyes lit up instantly. Although he could marry into a family for the sake of his future, if the other party was this beautiful, it would simply be a huge bargain!

"If you look at me with those eyes again, I will dig your eyeballs out!"

Lin Yueer was extremely terrified of Lin Ye, but towards others, she still maintained her nasty personality. Therefore, upon noticing the Ninth Prince's gaze, she showed immediate disgust.

These blunt words made the Ninth Prince pause. He had not expected that beneath such a heavenly appearance, she would have such a nasty personality; just one look and he would have his eyes dug out?

I am the Ninth Prince of the Wu Dynasty!

I will soon become the Crown Prince, and even the Martial Saint Emperor. We are both Immortal Dao Lineages; why should I fear your Lin Family?!

The Ninth Prince stood up and looked at Lin Yueer with a cold expression.

Sensing the malice from the other side, several people from the Lin Family blocked Lin Yueer behind them. The leader spoke coldly: "What? Does your Martial Saint Emperor want to go to war with my Chang Sheng Lin Family? But you are only the Ninth Prince; you are not qualified!"

"Everyone! Please calm down; we are not enemies. Royal son, step down for me!"

Just at this moment, the Ninth Prince's mother, Consort Shu, spoke. One sentence immediately made the Ninth Prince sit back down.

Although Lin Yueer's offensive words made Consort Shu very angry, she understood that now was not the time to flip the table; after all, they had a common enemy.

Seeing the Ninth Prince obediently go back and sit down, those Lin Family members relaxed.

They came this time to kill Lin Ye, but that did not mean they could not strike against the Ninth Prince.

The Immortal Dao Lineages of the Lower Domain, except for a few, were still different from the Immortal Dao Lineages of the Upper Domain; after all, the environmental conditions of heaven and earth were different.

The accumulation of many epochs had long since created a gap in strength between the Upper Domain and the Lower Domain.

Consort Shu walked forward and smiled: "I already know the purpose of your visit; it is for that Lin Ye and Lin Yu, correct? Currently, Lin Ye is within my Wu Dynasty, which is the reason I invited you all here. Shall we cooperate?"

The leader of the Lin Family nodded and then asked: "What do you want us to help you do?"

"Help me kill Lin Ye, and stabilize my royal son's position as Martial Saint Emperor."

"The position of Martial Saint Emperor? Is that old man of your Wu Dynasty really about to kick the bucket?"

Hearing such insulting words, Consort Shu suppressed the anger that had reignited.

"That's right, he is almost done for. In the future, it will be my royal son who rules over the entire Immortal Dynasty!"
