Chapter 642: Threats and Recruitment



Han Yunchong had seen a lot and been through many hardships ever since he started his cultivation journey. He could be regarded as a ruthless, bloodthirsty character, but he had to admit that he had never seen something so unbelievably terrifying.

In the blink of an eye, an ordinary-looking young man transformed into a god of war and wounded him, an upper Heaven Ascension cultivator. If…if he told someone what he saw, no one would likely believe him, right?

It became utterly silent and still.

Only qi continued to roar around Lin Xun’s body.

At that moment, he resembled an awakened dormant dragon. His black eyes were like abysses, radiating a cold and deep sheen. His body was covered with divine brilliance and Dao Ripple, adding an ethereal air around him like that of an immortal.

“He...how could he be so strong?” Ye Lingtong should have been ecstatic, but she, instead, was overwhelmed with shocked disbelief.

He’s so strong!

The feeling was akin to watching an ordinary youngster transform into a God of War and stand above the nine heavens, displaying his might.

That kind of strength was beyond Ye Lingtong’s comprehension. She couldn’t imagine how a youngster could defeat Han Yunchong’s blow with just his aura alone.

Han Yunchong was an expert of the upper Heaven Ascension Stage! He was a fierce character of the older generation who had earned a great reputation in the East Sea decades ago!

Unfortunately, such an unbelievable situation had happened to him.

Ye Lingtong thought she was dreaming if she hadn’t repeatedly confirmed it was the reality.

“The youngster turns out to be a master in disguise!” Ye Dongke’s countenance also changed.

A truly talented individual never showed off their true skills!

The servants froze to the spot, eyes wide and jaws hung open.

That was Lin Xun’s current power.

Given his present strength, he could be called a king of the Heaven Ascension Stage, able to suppress all enemies at the same cultivation stage!

As for Han Yunchong, he might be regarded as a top figure in the Ziyao Empire, but in Lin Xun’s eyes, he was inferior to even Qing Yunyang, whom he regarded as a mediocre saint!

“Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Han Clan!?” Han Yunchong’s face was livid and solemn, but he didn’t dare to make another rash move.

The young man opposite him had suddenly become his number one enemy.

Lin Xun frowned. “What Han Clan? All I know is that you want to kill people to silence them. If that’s the case, then why are you still talking so much nonsense?”

Someone had ruined his rare moment of peace. How would he not be annoyed?

What he couldn’t tolerate the most was that Han Yunchong wanted to kill even him, an outsider. It seemed too tyrannical and unnecessary.

He could imagine Han Yunchong indiscriminately getting rid of anyone who accidentally stumbled into his killings.

“Perhaps, this is just a misunderstanding. If you reveal your identity and can prove that you have nothing to do with this matter, I will promise, in the name of the East Sea Han Clan, that I will not make things difficult for you again.” Han Yunchong took a deep breath before he continued in a deep voice, “Friend, you must also know that no one dares to oppose the Han Clan in the East Sea region.”

His words were akin to an iron hand in a velvet glove. It was oozing with threats and warnings. Anyone who wasn’t an idiot could tell what he truly meant.

“Young Master, the old bastard is bluffing. In the East Sea, my Ye Clan is also not afraid of the Han Clan,” Ye Dongke suddenly interrupted.

He turned to face Lin Xun and gave a cupped fist salute. “In my opinion, that old bastard has disrespected you and he is now trying to threaten you. You shouldn’t tolerate his despicable attitude. I hope you don’t hold back and eliminate him right now!”

“Young master, please rest assured that the Ye Clan will take full responsibility for his death, and we will guarantee that you won’t suffer retaliation from the Han Clan under our protection!”

It was clear that Ye Dongke wanted to borrow Lin Xun’s hand to kill Han Yunchong and promised that, in the name of the East Sea Ye Clan, he wouldn’t suffer trouble in the future as a result.

Han Yunchong’s expression changed slightly. “Friend, the Ye Clan can protect you for a while, but they can’t protect you for a lifetime. I hope you consider it carefully!”

“How difficult will it be? Given the young master’s strength, he can easily join the Ye Clan and serve as a guest elder. We will be a family then. Let’s see if your Han Clan will dare to get revenge then!” Ye Dongke had regained his composure, and even took the opportunity to recruit Lin Xun into the East Sea Ye Clan.

In his view, given the background and power of the Ye Clan in the East Sea, the role of a guest elder would attract countless experts from all over the world.

If he could recruit a top young expert such as Lin Xun into the Ye Clan, then it would be worth the effort.

He believed that Lin Xun would feel his sincerity as long as he knew about the Ye Clan’s background.

“Did you think I helped out to obtain some benefits from your Ye Clan?” Lin Xun snorted, his dark eyes turning cold.

Ye Dongke’s expression changed slightly. “Of course not. I just want to seek fortune for you. After all, cultivation also requires resources. Given your strength, if you join the Ye Clan, you will no doubt have the Ye Family’s full support.”

Lin Xun’s expression grew increasingly cold.

Ye Lingtong palpitated as she watched on.

Then, she hurriedly said aloud, “Cousin, don’t say any more!”

Ye Dongke was taken aback at first, but he also noticed Lin Xun’s cold attitude and immediately went silent. He donned an apologetic expression and dared not utter another word.

They still needed to rely on Lin Xun’s power to get out of trouble, so how would they dare to offend him?

“Since this friend doesn’t want to have anything to do with the Ye Clan, he must have thought over it clearly and doesn’t want to get involved in this matter.” Han Yunchong smiled confidently. “Friend, if you leave now, I guarantee that the Han Clan won’t make things difficult for you!”

His one sentence made Ye Dongke and the others turn pale.

Lin Xun’s attitude was a little cold, and he seemed annoyed by Ye Dongke’s suggestion. Would he choose to protect himself and avoid the little storm as Han Yunchong said?

Ye Lingtong was trembling anxiously as she looked imploringly at Lin Xun and complained about Ye Dongke’s recklessness in her heart.

How could he think about using the role of a guest elder to recruit the young master at such a time? Does he want to add more chaos to the situation?

Also, what makes him think the remarkable youngster would be tempted to be recruited by the Ye Clan as a guest elder?

He is so stupid!

Lin Xun ignored Ye Lingtong’s gaze. He found it absurd as he looked at the confident look on Han Yunchong’s face.

The Han Clan of the East Sea?

He had offended many high clans and sects in the Forbidden City, so why would he be afraid of a clan in the East Sea?

Moreover, he had slaughtered countless saints in the Spirit Burial Sea. Had he ever shown a tinge of fear towards the clans behind those saints?

Most importantly, he was different from the past. He had met true Saints. He had seen many Saint corpses in the Deva Secret Realm. He had been viciously pursued by many Life Death Stage Kings yet he was still living leisurely.

With that kind of experience, when he heard about Ye Dongke’s proposal and Han Yunchong’s threat, he understandably found it very...absurd.

Under the gaze of Lin Xun’s cold eyes, Han Yunchong’s heart trembled nervously and he couldn’t help but say, “Well friend, do you really plan to stubbornly go your own way and disregard the Han Clan? You must know that even Cyclic Derivation cultivators in the East Sea don’t dare to disrespect the Han Clan.”

“Is that right?” Lin Xun’s voice sounded somewhat ice-cold.

He thought the guy had a death wish to be still threatening him with the power of the Han Clan.

“Friend, what exactly do you want?” Han Yunchong’s expression changed slightly as if he realized his situation wasn’t good.

“It’s very simple. An eye for an eye.” Lin Xun grinned, showing his white teeth. “Just now you launched a palm strike at me, so now I should do the same. If you can block it, then I will leave immediately!”

“You…” Han Yunchong was about to say something when Lin Xun stretched out his right hand.

His hand was slender and fair, circulating with faint azure Dao Ripple like it was polished from azure stones.

Han Yunchong subconsciously let out an enraged roar as he sensed an indescribable feeling of danger surge in his heart. Blood and qi started to riot in his body and his clothes torn into pieces, revealing his tough, bronzed body. Waves of blazing aeth power spread out from him, making it obvious that he had become much stronger.

It was the Great Bronze Spirit Demon Art, a remarkable defense art. It could defend against mountains and was impenetrable to swords and spears. Even aeth tools could only cause scratches under the power of such an art.

“Do you think I would be afraid of a little guy?” Han Yunchong thundered like a mighty god, causing the sea area to vibrate.

Ye Lingtong and Ye Dongke turned ashen-faced. Even if they had great confidence in Lin Xun, they couldn’t help but feel helpless and terrified after witnessing Han Yunchong’s power. They felt like ants looking up at an enraged god!

Rumble!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun thrust his palm forward. The air boomed violently and the earth quaked, as though an ancient giant was lifting a sacred mountain or a Saint was pushing the sun and the moon.

It was the third transformation of the secret art—Bi’an Stamp!

A dazzling azure palm shot out from the air and crashed down. Under the giant palm, Han Yunchong seemed particularly tiny.
