Chapter: Malicious Attack and Unyielding Obsession
Lin Feiyu's self-reference was so endearing that it was clear the desire to adopt Lian Yun was not limited to Lin Nan alone; rather, all of Lin's Three Uncles seemed to share this intention.
However, Lin Nan, being the youngest brother and close in age to Lin Beiyan, had the best relationship with him, and since he only had one son, Lin Dong and Lin Xi allowed him to take precedence.
Since Lian Yun had rejected Lin Nan, there was no need for further discussion from Lin Dong and Lin Xi; the outcome would remain unchanged!
Nevertheless, this did not prevent Lin Nan from treating Lian Yun like a real brother, nor did it stop Lin Feiyu from seeing Lian Yun as a younger sibling.
Moreover, although Lin Feiyu was inquiring, he had not issued a formal challenge. His words carried an undeniable weight that left no room for refusal.
Lian Yun, however, was indifferent to this. With a swift motion, he found himself facing Lin Feiyu!
But just as Lian Yun was about to steady himself, Lin Feiyu launched an immediate attack. Unlike his usual demeanor of kindness and elegance, this time Lin Feiyu's assault was aggressive and even tinged with malice.
It seemed as if he aimed to destroy some precious item on Lian Yun.
Seeing this, Lin Nan's expression brightened with delight as he gritted his teeth. It appeared he believed that if his older cousin injured Lian Yun, it would keep him confined at home and prevent him from going to Yin Yang City.
Yet the worry hidden deep in his eyes was something that Keen Observer could easily discern.
Meanwhile, Lian Yun felt a deep sense of helplessness in response to the situation.
The people of the Lin family were a presence that would willingly sacrifice themselves without regret. This was absolute trust and deep love! With such a mindset, he instantly understood Lin Feiyu's intentions.
Lian Yun instinctively stepped back, avoiding the confrontation, yet helplessly said, "Brother, is it really necessary?"
"Hey, if you don't destroy the sword in your hand, how can you wholeheartedly choose a treasured blade? I just didn't expect your martial arts to progress so much. It's both delightful and frustrating!"
Clearly, Lin Feiyu understood Lian Yun's personality well, which was why he planned to use a 'scheme' to destroy the sword Lian Yun currently wielded. This way, Lian Yun could wholeheartedly seek out and sincerely treat the extraordinary sword that Lin Feiyu had chosen for him!
However, what he didn't anticipate was that the originally 'decisive' strike was easily evaded by Lian Yun, leaving him both surprised and delighted.
As he had said himself, Lian Yun's martial skills were indeed impressive, but they were also quite vexing. Because his cousin had realized his intentions, achieving his goal became somewhat difficult.
Nevertheless, as long as the battle continued, there was still hope! Thus, Lin Feiyu launched another attack. This time, as he approached Lian Yun, twenty ominous and fierce energies surged forth from his hands!
Ten of these energies instantly adhered to Lin Feiyu's body, 'transforming and merging' to create a massive phantom nearly ten meters tall around him, which looked exactly like Lin Feiyu himself.
This was the most distinctive combat style of the Armed Ghost Hunter! It was called the Ghost Battle Body.
The reason for this was that the opponents of the Armed Ghost Hunter were mostly Spirits that possessed objects. In the early twenty-first century and beyond, the large number of cars and machinery created by humans had turned into moving and attacking 'monsters.' With human beings standing just over a meter tall, even with great strength, it was difficult to fight against them.
Bai Yi's analogy was that in front of a passenger plane, humans were like ants compared to elephants; no matter how strong an ant might be, how could it possibly contend with an elephant?
Thus, within the Ghost Group, Ghost Slaves existed to enlarge their physical forms so that Armed Ghost Hunters could have the means to battle large monsters!
Was it really necessary for Lin Feiyu to go to such extremes? Even if Lian Yun had not taken the Explosive Ascension Pill or activated the Yin-Yang Stage three years ago, he would still be no match for him now.
As he sensed the remaining ten Spirits intent on invading his body and taking control, Lian Yun hurriedly shouted, "Stop! I’ll listen to you, brother!"
Lin Feiyu immediately recalled the twenty Ghost Slaves. As they landed in front of Lian Yun, he was filled with confusion, surprise, and deep concern.
He knew that his cousin was not someone who would shy away from a challenge. The only reason for such a decisive compromise was that Lian Yun feared he would cause significant harm to his own Ghost Slaves, even to the point of killing them!
The main issue was that his cousin could not control himself.
Before he could even feel joy at achieving his goal, he was already worried about Lian Yun's physical condition.
However, Lian Yun shook his head and comforted him with a hint of helplessness. "You don’t need to worry about my body, big brother. Although it's hard to control, there’s no danger at all!"
"Ha!" Lin Feiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Yun'er, whom even your grandmother couldn't handle, has been easily subdued by you, Feather. This really proves that old saying: nothing is absolute in this world; one thing can overcome another!" Lin Xi also chuckled heartily.
But Lin Nan wore an angry expression, sulking in silence.
Yet his displeasure went unnoticed, as if no one cared about him.
Lin Feiyu brought Lian Yun down to the ground and then took out a miniature projector, activating it to display a three-dimensional projection in front of Lian Yun.
Before them, a mountain made entirely of countless long swords loomed, a magnificent sight. Floating above this sword mountain were nearly a hundred vividly colored swords.
The sheer presence of the millions of long swords that formed the mountain exuded an extraordinary aura, and the nearly hundred floating swords above it were undoubtedly akin to divine beings.
Yet, what drew the most attention was the sword perched at the very peak!
It appeared simple, yet it radiated a brilliant light, surrounded by a misty white aura.
The entire projection resembled a court, with the sword at the summit as the King, while the divine swords floating above the mountain represented esteemed generals. The millions of long swords that constituted the mountain symbolized the common people.
There was an overwhelming sense of one standing above ten thousand below.
Noticing Lian Yun's dazed expression, Lin Feiyu smiled gently and said, "Originally, I intended to visit Divine Sword Mountain to seek out Tai'a Sword for you, not to search for a legendary divine sword. However, upon arriving at Divine Sword Mountain, I heard that the founder plans to wander and will not forge any swords for now. Fearing that the swords on Divine Sword Mountain might be snatched away by others, I thought it best for you to make the journey yourself."
"Although I have heard of this divine sword's name before, seeing it in person atop Divine Sword Mountain made me feel as if this sword was tailor-made for you. So—"
Before Lin Feiyu could finish his sentence, Lian Yun interrupted with a mix of laughter and exasperation, "I'll go then!"
Withdrawing his gaze momentarily, Lian Yun's eyes slowly drifted downwards to a sword at the foot of Divine Sword Mountain, his expression revealing a deep affection.
To Lin Feiyu and the others, it seemed as if Lian Yun was reluctant to part with it.
However, Lian Yun interrupted Lin Feiyu's words because if what Lin Feiyu said were true, then in his heart, Lian Yun would be an unparalleled existence that no one could rival. With such significance placed upon him, how could Lian Yun bear that weight?
To understand, if Lian Yun could break through to Monarch level, he would immediately possess the strength of an Emperor, especially considering the past endowment of Lian Yun and the historical figure Emperor Yi. This is why the master did not grant Lian Yun the title of Prince, but instead referred to him as the Cloud Emperor; it is simply difficult to become a great emperor.
In today's world, there are several Emperors, but almost all of them have lineage extending back thousands or even tens of thousands of years to the Demon Emperor. Among the human race, no Emperor has been born.
Back then, Emperor Yi was merely a fleeting moment.
However, the contracts signed by Emperor Yi with several Demon Emperors provided the alliance with time to develop. The alliance consumed vast amounts of manpower and resources to create three imperial-level Ghost Slaves, which ensured that humanity would not face extinction.
This is likely also the reason why the Demon Clan does not allow Lian Yun to continue growing.
As for why the Human Alliance does not permit Lian Yun's existence, it is probably related to its internal corruption and the pressure from the Demon Clan.
This is also why Lian Yun has never considered retaliating against the Huaxia Alliance; it is not that he lacks the ability, but even if he did have it, he could not seek revenge. After all, the Huaxia Alliance protects all of humanity. Therefore, seeking revenge would equate to endangering the entire race, including his own family, the Lin Family.
It is a state of extreme helplessness and powerlessness.
Thus, even with the Lin Family as his refuge, he cannot remain in the Land of Huaxia and must seek out a third-party force that exists outside both human and demon realms—Yin Yang City.
