319: Lin Ye is dead?

Boom!!!

The ground collapsed in layers, and Martial Dao City was reduced to ruins, with even the distant city walls collapsing as a result.

One could see just how ruthless the Lin Family Old Ancestor was when he struck.

The shockwave caused by this blow left Wu Mingyue and Empress Wu, who were rushing over from not far away, stunned in their tracks.

They clearly saw that red figure push Lin Yu away just moments ago, while he himself took the Lin Family Old Ancestor's attack head-on.

Above the firmament, the clouds were instantly dispersed, the Void Realm collapsed in its wake, and the myriad Daos shattered.

The power of a Supreme's strike, unobstructed by any grand formation, was evident.

The corner of Martial Saint Emperor's mouth twitched slightly.

The opponent had just instantly killed many residents within Martial Dao City, including Cultivators from various large and small factions; so many people from different factions had been implicated.

After the matter was finished, the people from the Chang Sheng Lin Family could just wipe their hands and leave.

But what about him?!

Everyone in Martial Dao City would resent, or even be hostile toward, him as their Saint Emperor, especially with people from those various factions dying here for no reason.

And there was the Righteous Qi Sect, the Profound Moon Holy Land...

A trace of regret emerged in Martial Saint Emperor's heart.

Why did he agree to this deal with the Lin Family?! Now things had gotten serious! Wouldn't he be inexplicably tied to the Lin Family?

After all, when the Righteous Qi Sect came for revenge, his Wu Dynasty would definitely bear the brunt of it.

"Damn the Lin Family! Damn you bastards! I will have you..."

"Lin Ye!!!"

Martial Saint Emperor's voice was drowned out by a heart-wrenching scream, and Empress Wu rushed directly toward the battlefield.

Wu Mingyue had been immersed in sorrow, but her mother's cry brought her back to her senses, and she hurriedly rushed toward the battlefield as well!

They saw that a deep crater had appeared in the middle of the battlefield, with blood and bones everywhere.

Those with weaker cultivation had even been vaporized into ash.

The bodies of the Lin Family members had also disappeared.

Standing on the field were only a few people: Lin Right and the Lin Family Old Ancestor who had just struck.

On the ground lay a piece of tattered red clothing, symbolizing the existence of that person.

Dao Rhyme covered Empress Wu's delicate body, and her fair, jade-like hand slammed toward the Lin Family Old Ancestor.

Hm?!

Boom!!!

With a roar, the Lin Family Old Ancestor was caught off guard and sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of Supreme blood which dripped onto the ground, causing the entire earth to tremble.

Empress Wu did not pursue, but instead landed on the ground, staring at the tattered red clothing.

Her beautiful eyes were already moist.

"Lin, Lin Ye..."

Empress Wu reached out her jade hand and picked up the red clothing; underneath it was a pool of blood, with no body left to be found!

Wu Mingyue arrived at this moment as well, and as she was equally sorrowful, her pretty face was filled with an expression of disbelief.

That high-spirited youth from before, just dead like this?

Impossible! How could he just die like this?!

Boom, boom, boom...

Wu Mingyue's hands continuously unleashed Dao Rhyme, striking the earth and blasting out one deep crater after another; she did not believe that Lin Ye had died just like that.

Before, she had always thought that a so-called Dao Companion was merely an exchange of benefits.

If being with Lin Ye could allow her to become the Saint Emperor of this Wu Dynasty, then it was worth it!

But as they spent time together, Wu Mingyue's heart had just begun to soften, and she seemed to understand what romantic love was.

But this softening had ended just as it began?!

Wu Mingyue bombarded the ground like a madwoman.

Empress Wu, who was beside her, came back to her senses and hurriedly grabbed Wu Mingyue: "Mingyue, enough... Lin Ye, he..."

"I don't believe it!"

Wu Mingyue shook her head, her face full of determination.

It seemed she would not stop until she had completely pierced through the ground.

"Alright, Mingyue!!!"

Empress Wu hurriedly stopped Wu Mingyue's actions, then looked at Martial Saint Emperor with cold, phoenix-like eyes.

The latter walked slowly from the Void Realm down to the ground; it was unclear whether the angry expression on his face was genuine or feigned.

Martial Saint Emperor said coldly: "Chang Sheng Lin Family, you have deceived me! You are simply courting death!!!"

On the other side, Lin Yu's gaze was dull.

His eyes were bloodshot, and a scene seemed to be constantly echoing before him: the scene of Lin Ye pushing him away.

Elder Ming kept calling his name with Divine Thought.

"Kid Yu! Kid Yu! Take advantage of Martial Saint Emperor's arrival and leave quickly! As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood! Hurry..."

"Shut up!!!"

Lin Yu said these words almost through gritted teeth.

His tone carried resentment, killing intent, and brutality.

Hearing this voice, Elder Ming was stunned; this was the first time Lin Yu had spoken so disrespectfully to him.

He had always been very polite before.

Clearly, Lin Ye's death had completely devastated Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's eyes stared fixedly at the Lin Family Old Ancestor.

The latter had just been sent flying by Empress Wu, and now that he had returned, he also fixed his gaze on Lin Yu.

Originally, Lin Ye was their first choice to take back.

After all, the combat power Lin Ye had displayed was terrifyingly strong, and he also carried the Human Emperor Sword.

This was of the utmost importance to Lin Ming, who possessed the Human Emperor Body.

Pacifying Chaos Sword Art, Killing Life Tathagata Legacy, Human Emperor Legacy...

It could be said that these were all things Lin Ming had specifically requested, yet now, they had killed Lin Ye and left Lin Yu behind.

"The Star God Body will do too! Even if Lin Ming can't use it, it can be assimilated into his Dao Rhyme to increase its power; furthermore, this Lin Yu's combat power is equally astonishing. If we could..."

"What are you saying?!"

Before the Lin Family Old Ancestor could finish speaking, Martial Saint Emperor interrupted him directly.

At this moment, cold light glinted in Martial Saint Emperor's eyes.

One had to know that Lin Ye being killed in front of him versus being killed not in front of him had an essential difference.

The latter could still be explained away, but if it were the former, it would simply give the Righteous Qi Sect an excuse to attack his Wu Dynasty directly.

The start of an Immortal War would absolutely plunge living beings into misery, and shattering a few Star Domains would be effortless.

After all, if an Immortal War were truly triggered, the foundations of the orthodoxy would be fully unleashed!

Thinking from another perspective, Martial Saint Emperor felt that if a peerless Prodigy like Lin Ye were suddenly killed on his side, he would definitely go mad and retaliate against all enemies.

Plus, the Righteous Qi Sect was full of lunatics!

Thinking of the future retaliation, Martial Saint Emperor had a massive headache.

Yet this Lin Family Old Ancestor was actually talking about targeting Lin Yu right under his nose?!

And then have the Profound Moon Holy Land fight his Wu Dynasty to the death?!

This old fogey was simply courting death!

"Hehe..."

Regarding Martial Saint Emperor's gaze filled with killing intent, the Lin Family Old Ancestor didn't care at all, and even sneered: "Martial Saint Emperor, since our deal has already begun, you don't think you can stay out of this, do you?"
