Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Great Purge
In Qingshan Town, at the Lin family home.
Lin Feng and Miaomiao had just arrived at the entrance of Lin Village when they spotted Lin Longyu waiting for them on the stone tablet at the village entrance, as if he had anticipated their arrival.
Kneeling before Lin Longyu were three figures: the Lind Couple and Lin Xiao.
Lin Feng saw his parents looking disheveled, covered in dust, their hair in disarray, forced to kneel. He let out an angry roar, "Lin Longyu, you scoundrel, I will kill you!"
After that, Lin Feng charged toward Lin Longyu like a wolf sprinting at full speed.
"Don't come any closer!" Lin Xiao shouted, causing Lin Feng to halt in his tracks.
"Dad..." Miaomiao called softly, her heart aching at the sight of her father in such a state, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Lin Xiao said, "Feng'er, don't worry about us. You and Miaomiao need to leave here quickly. That letter was written by that old scoundrel Lin Longyu; you mustn't fall for his tricks. Stay alive."
Lindor urged as well, "Child, hurry and go, the farther the better. One day, avenge us."
Lin Xiao understood that his children had only been training in Solitary Moon City for less than a year; how could they possibly contend with Lin Longyu and his entire faction?
Lin Longyu revealed a sinister smile. "You think you can leave after killing my precious grandson?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures emerged from the village entrance and stood behind Lin Feng, blocking their escape.
Miaomiao looked at Lin Feng and whispered softly, "Lin Feng, when I make my move, take the chance to save our parents. Protect them well."
"Okay." Lin Feng replied without hesitation.
Lin Xiao saw the determination in Miaomiao's eyes and shook his head repeatedly, trying to stop her. "Miaomiao, you must be obedient and leave here quickly with Lin Feng. There is something I need to tell you. You are not my biological child; I found you by the seaside. When your cultivation reaches its peak in the future, do not forget to find your parents."
"What?" Miaomiao was about to take action when she heard this news, which struck her like a thunderous roar.
Lin Feng reminded her, "Miaomiao, now is not the time to be distracted. First save your parents and deal with that old thief afterward."
"Alright."
Miaomiao acted swiftly, summoning the Azure Twilight Sword. She unleashed all her cultivation energy, and as she swung the sword, intense vital energy transformed into streams of sword qi that shot forward.
"To think she has reached the pinnacle of cultivation realm in less than a year?" Lin Longyu showed a look of surprise but quickly regained his composure. "After all, she's just a girl. What can she do? Everyone, attack!"
With Lin Longyu's command, his clansmen rushed toward Lin Miaomiao, weapons drawn.
Miaomiao showed no mercy; her strikes were lethal. Those opponents were no match for her. She advanced as if in an uninhabited realm, and those who surrounded her fell at the first encounter.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Feng moved with incredible speed, like an arrow shot close to the ground. He reached Lin Longyu in an instant and unleashed a full-force Angry Dragon Fist.
"Seeking death," Lin Longyu shouted as he raised his hand to counter. The two fists collided rapidly. Due to Lin Feng's swift attack, Lin Longyu was caught off guard and did not fully unleash his cultivation realm.
Bang...
With a resounding crash, Lin Longyu felt a tremendous force hit him, forcing him to stagger back several steps, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"This... how is this possible?" Lin Longyu exclaimed in shock; being pushed back by a Foundation Realm cultivator exceeded his understanding.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Feng helped his parents and Lin Xiao up before retreating to a nearby house. He positioned them against the wall to prevent any surprise attacks while he stood in front of them to fend off the crowd.
The Lin Family practiced True Qi, which was inherently inferior to the Vital Energy Power cultivated by Lin Feng and Miaomiao. Moreover, Miaomiao had reached the peak of her Foundation in the Cultivation Realm, making her unmatched in Qingshan Town. In just a short while, countless members of Lin Longyu's faction had been killed or injured. The remaining individuals dared not advance; instead, they stood around, watching from a distance with fear etched on their faces.
At that moment, Lin Longyu realized the terror of these two. He never expected them to become so powerful in less than a year. Now, the only chance to turn the tide lay in relying on a spiritual weapon for a single strike; unfortunately, his family's ancestral spiritual weapon had already been used by Lin Qing.
Lin Longyu turned to several elders and said, "Everyone, what are we waiting for? It's time to summon the spiritual weapons!"
The elders exchanged glances, unsure of what to do. The spiritual weapons could only be used once; after that, they would lose their last means of protection for their families.
"If we don't act now, are we just going to wait for them to kill us?" Lin Longyu shouted.
"Fine, let's do it."
One elder produced an ancestral spiritual weapon—a piece of beast bone inscribed with intricate characters.
"Today, it's either you die or I live."
Another elder also revealed an ancestral spiritual weapon, which was likewise a piece of beast bone.
Not far away on a mountain peak, two figures quietly observed everything unfold. They were Lin Qing and a man in black. This entire scenario had been orchestrated by the man in black. He had informed Lin Longyu beforehand that Lin Qing had been killed by Lin Feng in Solitary Moon City.
This revelation enraged Lin Longyu, prompting him to decide to kill Lin Feng and his wife. However, he did not expect to encounter resistance from Lin Xiao. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Longyu wiped out Lin Xiao's faction and thought it wouldn't be bad to take over as Head of the Lin Family.
After capturing Lin Xiao and his companions, Lin Longyu wrote to Lin Miaomiao, inviting her back to meet her demise. Ultimately, he sent her entire family on their way.
Lin Qing finally understood the meaning behind the words of the man in black from that day. He said, "My grandfather is no match for them; please help him."
"Don't worry; the fight isn't over yet," the man in black replied with a chilling smile.
Lin Longyu had seven elders under his command, four of whom possessed ancestral spiritual weapons. All four took action and dripped their blood onto the spiritual weapons. These were relics left by top-tier experts in the Cultivation Realm, equivalent to a full-force strike from a peak-level cultivator.
Four individuals struck together, equivalent to a combined attack from four peak experts of the Cultivation Realm.
Lin Longyu revealed a fierce expression as he said, "Lin Miaomiao, let's see how you withstand this. Today, you all shall accompany my Qing to the grave."
The four spiritual artifacts activated, emitting blinding white light, with intense Vital Energy continuously flowing out, causing the surrounding void to tremble.
Lin Feng planned to summon the Ancient Cauldron for protection. He said, "Miaomiao, stand behind me when the time comes; I will take this hit."
"There's no need for that."
Miaomiao replied and directly soared into the air with Zimo in hand. Under the illumination of the spiritual artifacts' white light, her sacred aura could not be concealed. Her flowing hair and fluttering garments made her appear like an otherworldly fairy as she gracefully extended her hand.
"Seeking death, kill her."
With Lin Longyu's command, the four spiritual artifacts launched their attack simultaneously towards Lin Miaomiao's figure. Unfazed and fearless, Miaomiao maintained her composure. All her cultivation surged forth as the Sword Embryo and Azure Twilight Sword within her fused into one, showcasing Zimo's most powerful strike.
Bang...
Zimo pierced into the white light sphere formed by the four spiritual artifacts, producing a thunderous explosion that echoed throughout Qingshan Town.
Almost instantly, that white sphere collapsed before Zimo, crumbling under its might.
The four elders who had summoned their spiritual artifacts suffered backlash, their figures being thrown backward and crashing heavily to the ground. They coughed up blood, struggling to rise.
"This is impossible."
Lin Longyu displayed a look of shock. If he had known that the sword in Miaomiao's hand was a Ninth-Grade Treasure, perhaps he wouldn't have been so astonished. He could never have imagined that a disciple who had just entered the sect less than a year ago could possess a Ninth-Grade Treasure.
With even the spiritual artifacts failing to harm Miaomiao in the slightest, Lin Longyu felt as if he had lost all strength; he stumbled and nearly fell over.
Miaomiao looked at the four elders on the ground and the crowd beside them, asking, "Father, should we kill them?"
This was Miaomiao's first experience with murder. When she first saw her father injured and humiliated, her heart was filled with killing intent, driven solely by a surge of emotion. Now that the situation had settled, the intensity of her rage had diminished significantly, leaving her feeling somewhat uneasy.
The feeling of killing was not pleasant.
As she gazed at the bodies of the Lin Clan members and the blood-soaked ground, Miaomiao felt a heaviness in her chest and a wave of nausea. Compared to killing ferocious beasts, taking a human life made her scalp tingle, especially when it involved her own kin.
Lin Xiao stepped forward to the center. Noticing Miaomiao's discomfort, he said, "Miaomiao, leave the rest to me. Lin Feng's parents are untrained and have sustained serious injuries; you should take them back to rest."
"Um..." Miaomiao hesitated. Although the situation was under control, she didn't want to leave, fearing that something unexpected might happen that could endanger her father.
After settling his parents, Lin Feng approached and said, "Head of the family, let's finish things here before we go back to rest."
"Alright then, I'll handle the remaining matters."
Lin Xiao picked up a knife from the ground and walked over to the four elders who had used spirit weapons against him without mercy. He then addressed the remaining clan members: "These four intended to kill my daughter with their spirit weapons; they cannot be allowed to live today. To the rest of you, if you wish to continue siding with Lin Longyu, you will not be spared. However, if you choose to abandon darkness for light, I, Lin Xiao, will not hold past grievances against you."
Upon hearing this, all those who had previously sided with Lin Longyu surrendered their weapons. Only Lin Longyu remained on the battlefield.
Lin Xiao approached Lin Longyu and raised his large blade. "Lin Longyu, you have committed many crimes; it is time for you to die."
"Wait."
Lindor shouted as he rushed over. He glared at Lin Longyu in anger. "You old fool! You’ve caused my child to lose his home and nearly killed my wife and me! Just one stab won't be enough to quench my hatred!"
Lindor swung his fists at Lin Longyu's chest like he was hitting a sandbag. However, having never trained in combat and being severely injured himself, his punches lacked any real strength.
From a distance, Lin Qing watched everything unfold. Seeing a country bumpkin recklessly beat up his beloved grandfather filled his heart with anguish and fury.
Lin Qing knelt on the ground, pleading, "Senior, please save my grandfather. I will do anything you ask."
"Your grandfather must die," the man in black said calmly.
Lindor, exhausted from the fight, felt his anger dissipate significantly. Lin Feng helped him up, concerned that he was injured too severely.
"Lin Longyu, you can rest now. Reincarnate in the next life."
Lin Xiao finished speaking and, with both hands gripping the knife tightly, thrust it fiercely toward Lin Longyu's chest. Just as the sharp blade was about to pierce Lin Longyu's heart, a shadow suddenly appeared, like a gust of wind blowing in and then blowing away.
When Miaomiao and Lin Feng regained their senses, Lin Longyu had already vanished.
