44: Xihua Lin family, imperial amnesty!

The moment these words were spoken, the most surprised person was Lin Qingxue!

Her expression was one of astonishment, as she looked at Jiang Lin in disbelief.

It was as if she was asking Jiang Lin, "What do you mean?"

How dare you impersonate my Xihua Lin Family in front of me?

Are you tired of living?

That's right, the Xihua Lin Family was indeed Lin Qingxue's original Family.

Fifty years ago, her Family was annihilated, with only Lin Qingxue escaping to become a top combatant of the Dao Heaven Sect today.

Now, Jiang Lin was using this name, how could she remain calm?

"You brat, Black Cloud Peak isn't done with you!"

Sixth Leader Li Leopard leaned on the doorframe, limping his way out.

He hadn't heard of the Xihua Lin Family's name and thought it was just some small Family.

As he walked, he constantly plotted in his mind how to get his revenge!

Jiang Lin waved the folding fan in his hand and said softly, "Did I say I'd let you go?"

After speaking, he flicked the folding fan in his hand with a little force, and a wave of heat surged towards the heavily injured Sixth Leader Li Leopard.

Another surge of Evil Qi!

It was even more potent than the previous one!

"No, you can't kill me! Our Big Boss is a Peak Soul Transformation Cultivator; he won't let you off!"

Watching the approaching Evil Qi, Sixth Leader Li Leopard frantically threw Talismanic Incantations to resist, but it was like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot—completely useless.

He hadn't expected this young man to be so murderous!

How dare he?

I am the Sixth Boss of Black Cloud Peak!

Just as the heatwave was about to close in, a graceful figure suddenly appeared, directly striking and dispersing the heatwave.

It was an energetic girl dressed in black close-fitting clothes, with a Dragon-patterned token hanging from her waist.

"Lieutenant General Zhenyuan, Liu Yaner!"

"Fighting is prohibited within the city, and you've caused casualties, violating the Great Xia's Bright Law!"

"Given that the beast tide is approaching, you have been conscripted. If you can atone for your deeds, this time will be forgiven!"

Looking at the valiant Liu Yaner, Jiang Lin's thoughts returned to the original novel's plot.

In the original plot, Xiao Dong, while acting heroically in Zhao Family Village outside the city, offended the bandits of Black Cloud Peak, and was then pursued by their sixth boss into Black Yuan City for revenge.

During the ensuing conflict, Xiao Dong accidentally got poisoned, and Liu Yaner happened to encounter him, lending a hand, which marked their official meeting.

Next, they would jointly resist the beast tide and develop mutual admiration.

It wasn't until the fourth wave of the beast tide arrived that Liu Yaner suddenly received news that her younger brother had been kidnapped, and she had to go to Black Cloud Peak to rescue the hostage.

On one side were the people of Black Cloud City, and on the other was her own younger brother.

She unhesitatingly chose the former and successfully resisted the fourth wave of the beast tide.

Immediately after the battle, Liu Yaner rushed to Black Cloud Peak without thinking, to rescue Liu Ziyuan.

But what she and everyone in Black Yuan City hadn't expected was that this beast tide would have more than four waves.

Before Liu Yaner had even been gone for half an hour, the most terrifying beast tide in Black Yuan City's thousand-year history swept in.

The city walls were breached, and barely one in ten of the common people survived.

Most critically, the Yao Race took the opportunity to infiltrate and sever Black Yuan City's Dragon Vein.

After the Dragon Vein was severed, through a series of "unforeseen circumstances," all the benefits were absorbed by Xiao Dong.

After this battle, the Nine Provinces were shaken, the Xia Emperor was enraged, Liu Yaner was the first to take the blame, and Xiao Dong then used Xiao Zhan's old influence to smoothly execute a 'hero saves the beauty' scenario...

Jiang Lin's thoughts returned to that spirited face:

"Is that Liu Yaner? Speaking of which, she's my fiancée, and also the dream girl my Genius younger brother has been obsessed with since childhood. She's also the fuse for the later Jiang Family's official confrontation with Xiao Dong!"

"She's the fourth female lead in this book, second only to the Ruthless Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart, Zhang Wanmeng!"

"I can use her to complete the heart-stealing mission, raise my Bloodline Rank, and get the interception reward!"

"But I have to wait until Xiao Dong's Good Fortune as the Heavens ends, otherwise, who knows what might happen in between? Maybe I'd even end up doing all the work for him!"

Retrieving his thoughts, Jiang Lin looked past Liu Yaner at Sixth Leader Li Leopard, who lay on the ground like a dead dog.

"I'm sorry, General Liu, I can't follow your orders!"

"This bandit on the ground, I'm definitely killing him today!"

Liu Yaner's eyes turned cold as she stared at Jiang Lin, as if ready to act at any moment.

She detested the way this young man looked at her, as if she were naked standing before him.

"You want to defy my orders?"

As soon as her voice fell, the power of Soul Transformation directly erupted, surging towards Jiang Lin!

Liu Yaner joined the army at fourteen, went to the Reincarnation Battlefield at seventeen, commanded a battle of ten thousand at nineteen, and achieved Soul Transformation at twenty.

It could be said that her strength was forged step by step, built upon the blood of foreign races.

Facing Liu Yaner's Soul Transformation power, Jiang Lin gently waved the folding fan in his hand, and the Evil Qi's heatwave flew out again.

The next moment, the Soul Transformation power was actually forcefully blocked between the two by this crimson heatwave.

Lin Qingxue's eyes lit up: "This Fire God's Evil Qi is truly overbearing; it can actually allow Jiang Lin, with his Nascent Soul strength, to resist the pressure of a Soul Transformation Cultivator."

Seeing Liu Yaner's expression gradually turn cold, as if she was about to strike again at any moment, Jiang Lin calmly spoke: "My elder sister is Lin Qingxue, the Blade Wielder of the Dao Heaven Sect. The Xihua Lin Family is under imperial pardon; the Great Xia's Bright Law cannot control me!"

Lin Qingxue!

At the mention of this name, the entire scene froze.

Lin Qingxue gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Jiang Lin in half.

First, he steals the name of my Xihua Lin Family, and then he dares to impersonate my younger brother in front of me!

Fine, fine, fine. If you don't explain the Blazing Flames Burn the Heavens and Boil the Seas Technique thoroughly to me later, I'm not done with you!

Shangguan Yaoyao looked at Lin Qingxue, then at Jiang Lin, her face full of confusion.

This shouldn't be!

Lin Qingxue is someone who hates evil as if it were her enemy. How could she allow that scoundrel to impersonate her younger brother and disgrace the reputation of the Xihua Lin Family?

What exactly happened between the two of them?

Also, I can't figure out what Jiang Lin's actions are for?

No, I'm increasingly unable to keep up with his thinking!

I must quickly gain his trust and become his confidante to better analyze his thoughts!

On the first floor, Liu Yaner's face was clouded with uncertainty.

Lin Qingxue, the Daoist Blade Wielder!

The Lin Family is naturally under imperial pardon!

Liu Yaner had never met Lin Qingxue!

But her reputation was well-known throughout Great Xia.

Her strongest record was single-handedly venturing deep into the Demon Domain, slaying ten Body Integration Rank Yao Race generals, and then retreating completely unharmed!

Even the Liu Family Old Ancestor wouldn't dare provoke that madwoman.

When she was young, Lin Qingxue had always been her idol; she had always aspired to become a top expert like Lin Qingxue.

Rumor has it that the Xihua Lin Family was already annihilated, wasn't it?

But that was just a rumor; Lin Qingxue had never confirmed it.

Now, looking at Jiang Lin, he didn't seem to be faking it.

To dare to say it so openly in such a public place,

If it were false, she wouldn't even need to act; Lin Qingxue wouldn't let him remain in this world.

But what she hadn't expected was that the person herself was sitting upstairs, without even a change in appearance.

And Sixth Leader Li Leopard, upon hearing Jiang Lin speak, immediately ran outside.

Damn it, the opponent is a steel plate, and one ten thousand meters thick!

What could he use to fight against them?

A Peak Soul Transformation Big Boss?

Damn it, upon hearing the three words 'Lin Qingxue,' he'd probably flee overnight.

Run!

Can't afford to provoke them, not at all!

Before he could run two steps, a lazy voice came from behind him.

"Actually, 'Evil Qi permeates all directions' also has another saying..."

Lin Qingxue suddenly asked excitedly, "What?"

"Where Evil Qi passes, a trace remains; when the trace shatters, heaven and earth are destroyed!"

Sixth Leader Li Leopard couldn't hear the rest of the words; he only felt his body seemed to expand greatly, and his consciousness gradually faded.

Boom!

The remaining Evil Qi within Sixth Leader Li Leopard's body suddenly exploded.

"The famous Cultivation Technique of the ancient Fire God, Zhurong, truly lives up to its reputation!"

Lin Qingxue's expression was excited.

Just three lines of the Cultivation Technique allowed Jiang Lin to kill a Peak Nascent Soul Cultivator with a mere flick of his hand, and the opponent had no power to resist whatsoever.

She had truly found a treasure!

On the other side, Liu Yaner looked deeply at Jiang Lin, her eyes full of vigilance.

This Evil Qi is truly terrifying!

On the battlefield, it would definitely be a great weapon!

At the same time, the poison in Xiao Dong's body was also completely forced out.

He heard Duan Tianya from the depths of his Soul say: "Fire God Evil Qi, that kid cultivates the Fire God Rong's Cultivation Technique!"
