151: The inheritance of the ancient god-slaying array

Pause?

Listen, is that a human thing to say?

Lin Xiao was killed on the spot, without even a chance to escape!

You know, this is the Combination Realm!

Even in the cultivation world, a Combination Power can thrive anywhere, easily becoming a sect leader or a monarch of a country without exaggeration!

On Blue Star, Combination is the strongest being walking the world, the unspoken human authority for every cultivation family!

Killing a junior from a family might just be a personal grudge.

But, killing Lin Xiao, especially under the guarantee of Director Lin and Director Wei, and forcefully slaughtering him, is a naked slap in the face to the Lin Family, to all the families in the world, and to the high-ranking officials of the 654 Bureau!!

“This Meng Yun…”

The Dean stood behind the grand array, which usually gave him a sense of security, but now he only felt it was as fragile as paper.

With two Tribulation Transcendence cultivators blocking him, Meng Yun still killed a Combination in one encounter. This level of strength, he might have directly ascended to Tribulation Transcendence!

How old is he?

He's only twenty!

Compared to Meng Yun, his own hundred-plus years seemed to have been lived in vain!!

Unlike the Dean, Xu Yuan's expression was complex at this moment. Her small hands tightly clutched her clothes, her eyes filled with worry for Meng Yun.

Due to the Reishi Bath Water, she had, unknowingly, developed a peculiar sense of belonging to Meng Yun.

“Meng Yun… actually went to such lengths for me…”

Xu Yuan murmured softly.

She had forgotten to be shocked by Meng Yun's power.

She was only worried about his current predicament.

In front of a Tribulation Transcendence Power, her strength as a God Art Master was far from enough to resist.

Become stronger.

She must become stronger!

“I want to become stronger!!!” Nangong Jing gritted her teeth in hatred. The five figures in the sky were the focus of this world, while she herself was nothing.

A sense of powerlessness surged in her heart. She wanted to stand up for her friend, but as a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, she didn't even have thequalifications to stand by his side.

How many days has it been?

Meng Yun, without a sound, had actually raised his strength to such a level!

And he finally met a terrifyingly powerful opponent!

…

In the sky, Lin Changhe smiled coldly.

Very good, very good.

If this child is not severely punished today, what will become of their future glory?!

Lin Changhe was so angry he laughed. He and Director Wei joined forces to unleash a fierce palm strike towards Meng Yun.

Want to plead for him, do you?

It's not too late to talk after this Meng Yun kid dies!

Eastern Abyss and Yu Jingshen's eyes narrowed, their hearts gradually growing heavy.

Two Tribulation Transcendence Powers acted without any mercy. Meng Yun…

Perhaps there's no hope for him?

Most likely, he's beyond saving.

Clang! Clang!

The palms of the two Tribulation Transcendence cultivators suddenly produced a metallic clang.

In Meng Yun's hands, two long swords appeared, one on the left and one on the right.

One was an invisible, sharp sword, wreathed in dark Hellfire.

The other was a replica of the Dharma Banishment sword, similarly emitting a brilliant golden sword light that shot into the sky.

The two swords, carrying two supreme profound techniques, completely blocked the attacks of the two Tribulation Transcendence Powers.

“Hmm?”

“Holy cow?!!!”

“Hiss~~~”

Although the attacks of the two Directors were hastily gathered, they were still genuine Tribulation Transcendence attacks!

How could Meng Yun, a mere Soul Transformation cultivator, block them?!

But he did, indeed, accomplish this fantastical feat!

Meng Yun disengaged with one strike, using the force from the Tribulation Transcendence Powers to retreat directly towards Eastern Abyss and Yu Jingshen's position.

Despite achieving such a world-shaking feat, Meng Yun's true self was not as calm as he appeared.

Without the Spirit Food Battle skill's bonus, he had completely relied on his true strength to withstand it.

The dull pain in his wrist made him suspect that he had already suffered a comminuted fracture.

He unhesitatingly used Life Alchemy on himself, instantly re-forging his wrist.

As long as he wasn't dead, Meng Yun had a way to heal any injury, no matter how severe!

Eastern Abyss subtly shielded Meng Yun behind him.

This wasn't because he wasn't afraid of death.

He simply believed that the powerful Wei Family and Lin Family, both also high-ranking officials of the 654 Bureau, would never involve his Dongfang Family in some grudges!

What's more, giving face to the Dongfang Family and Yu Jingshen would only benefit, not harm, their Wei and Lin Families!

Except for a killer like Lin Xiao, smart people knew how to make choices!

Eastern Abyss's subtle actions naturally did not escape Lin Changhe's gaze.

Even with two Tribulation Transcendence cultivators working together, they failed to make Meng Yun pay with his life. At this moment, Lin Changhe was already filled with shock and anger.

He stood with his hands behind his back, forcefully suppressing the displeasure in his heart. His gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at Eastern Abyss and slowly spoke:

“Nephew Dongfang?

I've been busy with matters recently, so it's been a long time since I've visited…” He said with a reminiscent look: “How is Patriarch Dongfang Aotian doing lately?”

He exchanged a few pleasantries to show closeness.

Then he brought up the Dongfang Family elder, implying that Eastern Abyss was merely a junior.

When adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt. Go play!

Eastern Abyss was as shrewd as they come, but he acted as if he didn't notice the implication: “Grandfather is doing well. A few days ago, he even reminded me to do whatever I please when I'm out.”

Go wild.

If the sky falls, the Dongfang Family will catch it for you.

Lin Changhe's tone faltered, then he chuckled, getting straight to the point: “That's very good.

Xiao Yuan, you've also seen that Meng Yun publicly slaughtered Lin Xiao. It's better if you don't get involved in this matter…”

“Alas, Uncle Lin, your words truly put Yuan in a difficult position…” Eastern Abyss said with a troubled expression: “Yuan just recently became Meng Yun's disciple, preparing to learn Arcane system knowledge from him, so…”

Become Meng Yun's disciple?!

You've got some nerve saying that!

Is this Meng Yun even twenty years old?!

Except for a select few who knew the inside story, almost no one believed it!

Lin Changhe's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this.

Was this Eastern Abyss not clearly trying to make him lose face?

Being protected by Eastern Abyss in such a way, Meng Yun felt a slight twinge of guilt.

To be fair, he had often used Eastern Abyss's face to bluff and deceive in the simulation world.

“Brother Dongfang, if it's too much, just hand me over.”

Meng Yun said softly.

Hand him over.

Whether one person died or two, it was truly uncertain!

“No,” Eastern Abyss replied without looking back: “Adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt.”

Just like that, Eastern Abyss and Lin Changhe stood in confrontation, neither willing to back down.

The air gradually grew tense.

With the Dongfang Family's background, a direct fight would definitely not happen.

But both sides were prominent figures. If no one provided a way out, this situation would likely continue to be deadlocked…

“Um…” Yu Jingshen said helplessly: “My second volume of the God Slaughtering Array Secret happens to require a Heavenly Earth Strange Flame to open the trial. Why don't the two Directors be magnanimous and let Brother Meng Yun accompany me for a trip?”

He continued: “If I successfully find the inheritance, I can construct a Spirit Gathering Array that increases cultivation speed by fifty times. At that time, the Lin Family and Wei Family can each have one, wouldn't cultivating their Soul Transformation and Combination Realm juniors be twice as effective?”

Silence.

As Director Wei, who had less animosity with Meng Yun, he pondered for a moment, realized that his family could gain significant benefits, and then advised Lin Changhe:

“Director Lin, what Yu Jingshen said is absolutely true. Now is precisely the time when we need people. If Meng Yun can truly help Yu Jingshen's array attainments reach a higher level, it would be a good thing for both of us.”

Lin Changhe's face was unpredictable.
