313: The final blow
Therefore, after Lin Huaizhong had communicated with the people from the Lin Family previously.
The Lin Family Old Ancestor who came to the Lower Domain immediately prepared several plans, one of which was to give the Longevity Medicine to the Martial Saint Emperor, letting him ignore the Lin Family attacking Lin Ye and Lin Yu.
Now it seems that it was a success.
The Lin Family Old Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief. Three of them had come down, and they had already sensed that there were no hidden experts around the Wu Dynasty.
In other words, as long as the Martial Saint Emperor did not intervene to protect them, Lin Ye and Lin Yu would be meat on the chopping block, ready to be manipulated at will.
The flying boat was moving slowly across the sky, with no intention of landing at all.
Empress Wu and Wu Mingyue had already returned to the residence.
Just a moment ago, Wu Mingyue had ordered all of her subordinates to go into Martial Dao City to gather information and find out Lin Ye's location; even if they couldn't find him, they could at least search for that flying boat.
The Lin Family Old Ancestor and the Martial Saint Emperor had left on the flying boat.
If they were going to where Lin Ye was, then the flying boat would be the target.
But a long time had passed, and no news had arrived—neither news of Lin Ye nor of the flying boat.
Watching the people coming and going from the residence, Wu Mingyue's beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety.
Beside her, Empress Wu seemed to have realized something, her beautiful face turning pale.
"Mother, what have you thought of?"
Wu Mingyue noticed Empress Wu's abnormality and hurriedly asked.
Hearing this, Empress Wu sighed softly and said seriously, "If I am not mistaken, your good father, the Martial Saint Emperor, has likely been bribed."
"Hmm?"
"The Lin Family Old Ancestor took your Imperial Father away alone on the flying boat; he must have said something to him. Otherwise, how could it be that so much time has passed and the flying boat still hasn't landed?"
"Now it seems clear that he has sold Lin Ye out."
Empress Wu wore a bitter expression; after all, the Martial Saint Emperor had always been such a person.
Previously, because of his transaction with Lin Ye, both Empress Wu and Wu Mingyue had relaxed their vigilance.
Thinking about it carefully now, the Lin Family Old Ancestor indeed had such a move.
He, who had originally intended to go to war with the Martial Saint Emperor, had suddenly changed his tune and even took the initiative to suggest taking the Martial Saint Emperor to find Lin Ye.
How could the hatred between the Chang Sheng Lin Family and Lin Ye simply pass like that?
"Empress, Your Highness!!!"
Just as the two were anxious, a figure hurried in; it was one of Wu Mingyue's subordinates.
Seeing the subordinate arrive, Wu Mingyue seemed to have grabbed a lifeline and asked anxiously, "How is it? Have you found Lin Ye?! Speak quickly!"
The subordinate took a deep breath, steadied his breathing, and reported to Wu Mingyue.
"Reporting to Your Highness, Lin Gongzi's tracks have not been found, but we have seen that flying boat."
"Where is it?!"
"The flying boat seems... seems to be circling constantly above the sky of our Martial Dao City, with no intention of landing at all."
"What?!"
Hearing the subordinate's report, how could Wu Mingyue not know that her mother's conjecture was correct?
The reason the flying boat wouldn't land was because they were waiting for Lin Ye to be killed by the Lin Family's people!
Damn bastard!!!
Wu Mingyue's delicate body swayed; if not for Empress Wu's support, she would likely have fallen to the ground.
"Wu Zhen!!!"
Wu Mingyue's pretty face was now full of anger, and she even called the Martial Saint Emperor by his name. The subordinate kneeling on the ground hurriedly lowered his head, pretending he hadn't heard anything.
Wu Mingyue was too angry, killing intent swirling in her beautiful eyes.
"Alright, Mingyue!"
Empress Wu's beautiful face was also covered in frost, but she was still able to remain calm.
"The top priority right now is to find Lin Ye; other matters can be discussed later."
"Hmm..."
Wu Mingyue nodded, then spoke to the subordinate, "Tell everyone to investigate! Investigate what happened after Lin Ye left the Princess's residence! Investigate everything for me!!!"
"Yes!"
The subordinate ran out again.
Wu Mingyue did not stay idle either; at this time, one more person meant finding Lin Ye faster. She transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from the residence.
In the vast residence, only Empress Wu remained.
She murmured in a low voice, "Wu Zhen, if anything truly happens to him, I guarantee you will not live to see a second life!"
... Inside the great formation.
Previously, Lin Ye and Lin Yu had already suppressed those few Lin Family members, and Lin Ye had even killed the two Lin Family members he was fighting on the spot!
Just as he intended to go over to help Lin Yu and kill the last person remaining on his side...
Two old men suddenly appeared in front of them.
The two old men had white hair and youthful complexions, and they looked somewhat similar. They were both wearing Lin Family robes. Even though the corpses of the Lin Family members were right beside them, neither of them showed any expression of anger.
Instead, they looked at Lin Ye and Lin Yu with smiles on their faces.
Lin Ye and Lin Yu looked at the people in front of them with heavy gazes.
Although the other party did not reveal even a trace of Qi, just standing there seemed to make all Daos submit.
Lin Ye directly activated the Insight Eye.
With this look, his pupils constricted.
Supreme...
Two Supremes!!!
For the sake of the two of them, the Lin Family had actually dispatched two Supremes, and they were even in the Late Stage of the Supreme Realm—experts who had reached the Supreme Realm for many years.
They were clearly the Old Ancestors of the Lin Family.
To deal with two members of the younger generation, they had sent two Old Ancestors of the Supreme Realm.
They were leaving them absolutely no path of survival.
Lin Yu had also learned of their cultivation Realm through Elder Ming.
Just as Lin Ye and Lin Yu were thinking about how to break the deadlock in their hearts, one of the old men stepped forward.
His face carried a gentle smile, as if he were looking at his own descendants.
"Lin Ye, Lin Yu... you are both members of my Lin Family. Because of some misunderstandings, you ended up drifting into this Lower Domain. Now, it is time for you to return to the Lin Family with me."
"Ah, right, I forgot to introduce myself. Old Man Lin Zuo. According to seniority, I am an ancestor of you two; both of your bodies flow with my blood."
Hearing this, Lin Ye sneered, "Can't you see those pieces of trash beside you? I slaughtered them."
"I see them."
Lin Zuo nodded, still maintaining his smile, "As Young Lords of the Lin Family, you can naturally dispose of these people at will. Moreover, you are direct descendants; since they offended you, they naturally deserved to die."
"Is that so?"
Lin Ye said with interest, "In other words, in the Lin Family, I can do whatever I want?"
"Naturally."
Lin Zuo nodded, "You are both direct descendant Young Lords of the Lin Family; naturally, you can do whatever you want."
Speaking of this, Lin Zuo looked at the sole survivor of the five who had come to besiege Lin Ye.
"Even if you want to kill him, you can."
