168: Your life is left to the heavens!

Lin You said.

Everyone stared in disbelief.

A person in charge of a third-rate Longevity Family stammered, "Re... really?"

"As long as we pay thirty million Spirit Stones, our two Families will no longer be enemies?"

Lin You nodded.

"Good, good!"

This deal was too cost-effective.

The former Lin You was just an ant that could be crushed at any time.

They naturally wouldn't let him go, but the current Lin You had become a genuine Quasi-Emperor Realm expert.

For someone of such status and strength, thirty million Spirit Stones to resolve grievances—there was no better deal in the world.

The spokesperson for the third-rate Longevity Family clenched his fists in excitement, threw a Storage Pouch without looking back, and turned to leave the main hall.

"Young Friend Lin You, we shall meet again!"

"No..."

"Better to never meet again!"

"Let's pretend we never saw each other!"

After saying this, he fled the main hall as if escaping.

Seeing that Lin You really kept his promise, everyone hurriedly threw down their Storage Pouches.

"Uh... Senior."

"We're square now, right?"

"Well... let's call it even, call it even, hahaha."

One by one, Storage Pouches containing tens of millions were thrown over as if they were worthless.

Lin You merely swept them with his Divine Thought; he asked for thirty million, but everyone gave more than enough.

They were all old foxes; in this situation...

No one could remember who gave too much.

But if anyone gave too little... that might be remembered very clearly!

Everyone who escaped the main hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally...

Only the Head of the Ximen Family remained in the hall.

He looked at Lin You, his eyes filled with indescribable complexity, and finally, he closed his eyes as if accepting his fate.

"The winner takes all."

"I understand."

"This matter started because of me, if you want to kill... then kill me."

"It has nothing to do with the others in the Ximen Family."

"If you kill me today, this matter is settled. You have already entered the Quasi-Emperor Realm; even if the Emperor Realm Old Ancestor of our clan returns, he might not necessarily attack you."

"To the Heavens, to the demons, you are an irreplaceable existence."

"Kill me, and you leave. We will still retain a shred of dignity, and the Emperor Realm Old Ancestor will not trouble your relatives and friends when he returns."

Lin You raised his long sword.

"You are quite open-minded."

"And what you said... also makes some sense."

"If it weren't for you, how would that group of people have run to my place to cause trouble?"

He took a step and walked slowly toward the Head of the Ximen Family.

Every step seemed to land on the other's heart, causing a sharp pain in his chest.

A biting Sword Intent surged into the sky.

The Head of the Ximen Family gritted his teeth; he knew he would die, but he didn't take a single step back.

Instead, he opened his arms and waited quietly for Lin You's long sword.

He wanted to die standing... to win the last shred of dignity for the Ximen Family's doomed ending.

—Clang.

The Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivation erupted fully, and the entire main hall was instantly shattered.

The sound of the sword almost tore people's eardrums.

One step forward, and the hand fell!

Lin You lightly sheathed his long sword and left without looking back.

"Your life."

"Leave it for the Heavens."

"If one day, while fighting the foreign races, you dare to retreat even half a step, even if a Great Emperor protects you, I will kill you all the same!"

"If you are not convinced... I, Lin You, will wait for your clan's Great Emperor to come."

In the hall,

The Head of the Ximen Family's pupils trembled; a strand of long hair drifted slowly to the ground along his shoulder.

At his waist...

The spot where the Storage Pouch originally hung was empty.

Lin You had left.

He didn't kill him.

He only took the valuable Storage Pouch from his body.

He turned around with difficulty, watching the white-clad figure gradually moving away with complex eyes.

This guy...

He is like a god and a demon, like a human and a monster.

He causes millions of deaths and blood to flow for thousands of miles at every turn.

He is as cold as a piece of ice that has been frozen for a thousand years.

But...

He is also like a scale with a world of his own in his heart...

He knew that the only reason he could survive... was that he was the Head of the Ximen Family, a first-rate Longevity Family; it was Lin You who spared him, and it was the Heavens... that saved his life.

At this moment, inside the Sima Family.

Everyone was on high alert.

Countless figures in the black mist looked toward the Void Realm with vigilant eyes, as if wary of someone's appearance.

That aura just now...

They were all too familiar with it...

It was Lin You!

That guy was back.

Not only was he back, but he had also stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm!

Damn it...

How could this be, how could this be!!

"We can't wait any longer..."

"Quick, invite the Old Ancestor back!"

"Go to Outer Heaven and invite the Old Ancestor to return!"

"Now that Lin You's wings have grown, we cannot stop him on our own."

"That escape route... should be prepared."

"Now... right now!"

Inside the Sima Family, someone spoke with a trembling voice.

But his voice received no reply.

In the darkness...

He saw a figure walking slowly toward him.

White clothes?

The man was carrying a long sword... strolling leisurely in the black mist...

Everywhere he passed, there were corpses on the ground.

He shuddered violently, "Impossible... Impossible!"

"Our clan's grand array is clearly intact..."

"He won't... He can't get in..."

The figure got closer and closer.

Until...

He saw the person's appearance clearly.

Young, calm.

White clothes, and that long sword that could not be more familiar...

It was Lin You!

—Clang.

The sword light lit up, and the black mist was completely torn apart!

A head full of unwillingness flew into the sky!

In the moment his consciousness remained, he finally understood everything.

Lin You had somehow isolated them from the Sima Family...

Countless Sima Family Cultivators... were already decapitated.

Outside the black mist,

Those clansmen who had not been isolated were roaring, using all their might to rush toward Lin You.

With the last sound of the sword,

Their Divine Souls... were utterly destroyed!

"Presumptuous, how presumptuous!"

"Lin You, you have such nerve!"

"To actually enter my Sima Family and kill people at will!"

"Do you really think my Sima Family is easy to bully?"

In the black mist, someone let out an unwilling roar.

Lin You's clothes were stained with blood; he looked up, returning the words.

"Oh?"

"So people from the Sima Family... can also die."

"I thought... your heads were harder than others, and your necks couldn't be cut."

"You have repeatedly tried to put me to death."

"You Sima Family... have such nerve!"

"Do you really think that I, Lin You, am easy to bully!?"

—Boom.

The Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivation erupted fully.

Lin You, alone with his sword, plunged directly into the depths of the black mist and fought with countless Sima Family Cultivators!

The brilliant sword light churned in the black mist, like lightning tearing through the night sky, piercing the darkness from time to time.

Lin You's cold voice echoed under the Void Realm!

"I came here today to completely settle the Karma!"

"The lives of your Sima Family, from top to bottom, every member of the clan!"

"I, Lin You, will take them!"
