134: The powerful Qingtan, the champion belongs! [Seeking follow-up reading]

Today was the day the Lin Clan held its Clan Gathering.

The Lin Clan's Clan Gathering was considered a grand event within the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

Today, Lin City was arguably the most bustling place in the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

Countless powerhouses and people from various factions arrived from all directions, causing the human traffic in Lin City to reach a terrifying level.

At the very center of Lin City, there was an enormous and captivating arena.

The arena covered nearly ten thousand zhang, majestic and grand, with a powerful and imposing aura rising into the sky, commanding admiration.

This colossal arena, capable of accommodating a million people, was the most important venue for the Lin Clan's Clan Gathering.

At this moment, this immense arena was already overflowing with people.

The arena was divided into an inner and outer section; the outer section accommodated ordinary people, while the inner section was for the various influential powerhouses within the Great Yan Dynasty.

Here, one could see almost eighty to ninety percent of the Great Yan Dynasty's top factions.

Lin Fan had promised Clan Leader Lin Fan that he would not participate in this Clan Gathering, so he and the Elders of the Lin Clan sat directly on the Elder's seats.

Representatives from various factions couldn't help but size up Lin Fan several times.

For a recent period, almost all the circulating news within the entire Great Yan Dynasty were about Lin Fan's glorious deeds!

Moreover, many people in the arena had personally witnessed Lin Fan slaying Lin Langtian that day, and their hearts were filled with awe towards Lin Fan.

Lin Fan, however, couldn't be bothered with the representatives from various factions; at this moment, he was idly watching the duels in the arena below.

To Lin Fan, these duels were like children playing house.

Yet, they carried the decades-long hopes of many, like Lin Zhentian.

It was just a pity that most people's hopes would likely be dashed.

"Xuan City Branch Family, Lin Dongtian, wins!"

"Lin Clan, Lin Huasheng wins!"

"Lin Clan, Lin Yang wins! Yan City Branch Family, Lin Hong loses!"

"..."

Suddenly hearing a familiar name, Lin Fan couldn't help but turn his head to look.

He saw that Lin Hong was currently in a rather miserable state from being beaten.

Although there was no longer Lin Langtian deliberately arranging people to target him, Lin Hong's strength still had a gap compared to those from the main clan, so his defeat was not unexpected.

However, this time, no one dared to mock Lin Hong aloud.

At least, not openly.

Three people from the Yan City Branch Family participated in this Clan Gathering: Lin Hong, Lin Xia, and Lin Qingtan.

As for Lin Dong, he had not returned yet.

Lin Hong was eliminated in the first round, and Lin Xia persevered until the second round.

Only Qing Tan advanced steadily, winning every match, until her opponent became Lin Mu, one of the top three of the Lin Clan, a half-step Manifestation Realm expert!

"Although your strength is not weak, this is where you stop!"

Lin Mu roared, his Yuan Power surging wildly within him, and a vast amount of Yuan Power erupted, condensing into a gigantic demonic stele, a hundred zhang in size, above his head!

The demonic stele floated in the sky, exuding a shocking oppressive aura!

"Sky Shattering Demonic Stele Palm!"

Lin Mu let out a low growl, and then the gigantic demonic stele whistled down, carrying an extremely powerful destructive force, slamming fiercely towards Qing Tan under countless nervous gazes!

Evidently, facing the not-so-weak Qing Tan, Lin Mu dared not be negligent, and after only a few exchanges, he directly used his strongest technique.

"Great Desolate Sea Splitting Seal!"

Facing Lin Mu's attack, Qing Tan's small face also grew solemn, and she let out a delicate cry, simultaneously rapidly forming a seal with both hands.

In an instant, vast and powerful Yuan Power surged and billowed behind Qing Tan like hundred-zhang ocean waves, the momentum terrifying!

Whoosh whoosh!

The Yuan Power-condensed waves appeared out of thin air behind Qing Tan, even producing the sound of rushing water. Qing Tan's figure flickered, and she sank into the sky-filling waves.

Immediately, a brilliant light suddenly erupted from within!

In that moment, the gigantic waves actually contracted at a visible speed!

Following that, the enormous waves seemed to be forcibly torn apart by an irresistible force!

A brilliant pillar of light shot into the sky, condensing into a mysterious light seal nearly a hundred zhang in size!

In an instant, that gigantic light seal, with an extremely terrifying momentum, crashed into the enormous demonic stele unleashed by Lin Mu!

"Boom!"

The light seal and the demonic stele collided, and a deafening roar echoed throughout the entire arena.

The onlookers were all amazed at this sight.

In the area where the Yan City Branch Family was located, Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, and others naturally witnessed this scene.

Lin Xia's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in shock, "I never thought that the little girl who used to wander around the back mountain every day would grow to such an extent; her strength is too formidable!"

Lin Zhentian was also overjoyed, "I truly didn't expect that not only is Lin Fan powerful, but Qing Tan is also so strong."

"Qing Tan's performance is indeed unexpected," Lin Xiao also nodded in amazement, then said with some regret, "I wonder how Dong'er is doing; is he going to miss this Clan Gathering?"

Lin Zhentian said, "Perhaps Dong'er is on his way back."

Not only the people of the Yan City Lin Family, but also people from various factions in the square were discussing the powerful Qing Tan.

At the same time, they were also very much looking forward to the outcome of their battle.

"Bang!"

Just as everyone watched nervously, after the light seal and the demonic stele collided, they both exploded simultaneously, and terrifying fluctuations spread out, making even the air seem to tremble!

Under that powerful counterforce, both Qing Tan and Lin Mu flew backward, their faces slightly pale.

On the Elder's seats, Lin Fan saw this scene, shook his head slightly, then his figure flickered, instantly appearing behind Qing Tan, catching her in his arms, "Why be so stubborn?"

Qing Tan leaned in Lin Fan's embrace and whispered, "I just don't want to lose."

After catching Qing Tan, Lin Fan looked at Lin Mu, who was opposite them, and said indifferently, "This round, let's call it a draw, how about that?"

Lin Mu's condition at the moment was not much better than Qing Tan's; hearing Lin Fan's words, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright."

Lin Mu had a twin brother, Lin Qing, who, like him, was in the half-step Manifestation Realm.

In Lin Mu's opinion, now that both he and Qing Tan had lost most of their combat strength, the champion of the upcoming Clan Gathering would be his brother, Lin Qing.

There was no need for him to continue fighting Qing Tan to the death.

Lin Fan nodded slightly, and taking Qing Tan, he directly returned to the Yan City Branch Family's position.

The referee then announced the result of the battle, to which no one had any objections.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a sound of rushing wind came from mid-air.

Hearing the sound, everyone subconsciously looked over.

"Brother Lin Dong!"

"Dong'er!"

"..."

Seeing that figure, everyone from the Yan City Lin Family exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

Lin Dong landed at the location of the Lin Family members, and they exchanged greetings for a while.

When Lin Dong heard that Lin Langtian had already been killed by Lin Fan, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, "I came too late!"

Lin Dong naturally wouldn't blame Lin Fan for acting before him; after all, Lin Langtian had even attacked Qing Tan, so who could guarantee he wouldn't attack other members of the Lin Family?

Only by killing him could future troubles be prevented!

Lin Dong took a deep breath and said, "Fortunately, the Clan Gathering hasn't ended yet. I missed killing Lin Langtian, but I can't miss this Clan Gathering championship!"

Next, Lin Dong represented the Yan City Lin Family and participated in the Clan Gathering competition.

With Lin Langtian dead and Lin Fan not participating, the championship undoubtedly fell into Lin Dong's hands!

After witnessing Lin Dong's cultivation strength at the Minor Achievement of Manifestation Realm, everyone naturally had no objections.

Clan Leader Lin Fan was both surprised and delighted; the Lin Clan had gained another Genius!
