Chapter 1378 Three Sword Strikes to Demolish the Qin Clan

The higher ups of the Zuo Clan had been swept clean, so the destruction of the clan was not far away!

After all, once an upper clan had lost all of its most powerful members, its power was bound to drop into the abyss. At that time, numerous ravenous wolves would be waiting in the periphery to bite off a piece of fatty meat.

But for Lin Xun, this was not enough.

Tonight, he was planning on crushing the Zuo Clan’s entire political and military power and eradicating its information base. That way they would have no way of coming back ever again!

Lin Xun looked away and began to float into the air before transforming into a rainbow and flying away.

If the current emperor or Blood Kill King Zhao Tailai were still around, then they would have definitely stopped him from going on his rampage.

But perhaps the heavens were smiling upon him tonight. There was no one in the Forbidden City who could stop Lin Xun right now!

......

Emerald Cloud Peak

On the territory of the Qin Clan, one of the seven high clans of the empire.

Within the opulent and magnificent hall, surrounded by the distinguished higher ups and guests of the clan, the clan head of the Qin Clan, Qin Baoji, stood up and raised his cup as he said, “From tonight onwards, the Lin Clan is destined to fall. This couldn’t have happened without the help of everyone here. Come, let me toast you all.”

“Let us toast!”

On the dias were some honored guests seated there. They all raised their cups together and emptied them.

“After the Lin Clan’s demise, the Qin and Zuo clans will each occupy thirty percent of their old property. Twenty percent will be given to the imperial family, and the remaining twenty percent will be divided amongst all your factions.” Qin Baoji continued calmly, “I believe this is a result that everyone is happy to see.”

“Naturally, naturally.”

The guests present all nodded and smiled happily. In the past few years, their forces had all participated in operations against the Lin Clan. In fact, some forces that were originally on good terms with the Lin Clan had also drawn a clear line separating themselves from them.

And now, the Lin Clan was about to be destroyed, so it was time to start dividing the spoils. How could the representatives here not be happy about this?

Suddenly, someone suddenly asked, "Brother Qin, may I ask who will take charge of Mind Cleansing Peak once it becomes vacant?"

The atmosphere in the main hall immediately fell silent. Everyone knew that the most juicy piece of meat of the Lin Clan was their Mind Cleansing Peak.

As one of the seventy-two aristocrat peaks in the Forbidden City, Mind Cleansing Peak had also become a rare paradise with dense spiritual energy after the drastic changes in the world. It was so rich that it would be coveted by any major force.

Furthermore, any clan that occupied Mind Cleansing Peak would have it become a symbol of their identity and power!

Qin Baoji smiled and said, "It is up to the third prince to make the decision on such a major matter. The Qin and the Zuo Clans can only follow orders."

After hearing this, everyone began to speculate and scheme. They now knew that if they could cut a deal with Third Prince Zhao Jingwen, they might be able to take Mind Cleansing Peak in the end.

High in the night sky, Lin Xun floated silently.

His consciousness had already covered the entire Qin Clan, and all the scenes that were happening in the hall were under his purview.

There was a hint of coldness on the corner of his lips as he announced, "You're all so anxious to start holding a celebration party?"

That one sentence exploded like thunder in the sky above Emerald Cloud Peak. For a moment, the echoes rumbled and stirred up the surrounding areas.

In the bustling hall, all other noises were suppressed, and the exquisite wine service on the banquet table exploded into pieces with a burst of banging sounds.

“Who is it?”

In the main hall, everyone's expression became distorted, and they stood up. Qin Baoji's face darkened as he got up. At this moment, someone had dared to come and disturb them. This was obviously not giving the Qin Clan any face!

“Just a single person?”

Everyone couldn’t help from being stunned.

Within the Forbidden City, was there anyone left who dared to come to the Qin Clan and provoke them in such an arrogant and condescending manner?

Were they that eager to seek their own deaths?

Someone recognized the intruder and hastily shouted, “It’s him, Lin Xun!”

For a moment, the whole place was in a state of agitation and uproar, as if they had just confronted a gruesome ghost.

No one had expected that the person that they considered to be stuck in the Ancient Wasteland Domain would actually appear here tonight!

“Lin Xun?” Qin Baoji's pupils constricted and then he sneered, “He’s come at the right time. Now that the Lin Clan is on the brink of destruction, we can kill the leader while we’re at it to avoid future trouble!"

Immediately, the eyes of everyone present flickered. From their understanding, Lin Xun was still the same young man who had been the most famous youth in the Forbidden City more than ten years ago.

Although they were caught off guard by his sudden appearance, they all agreed with Qin Baoji's opinion after calming down for a moment. Indeed, Lin Xun had arrived on his own. Thus, he would definitely be unable to save himself!

Furthermore, they were in the Qin Clan’s inner territory. Consequently, him appearing here was no different from throwing himself into a trap.

"There is a road to heaven, but you don't take it. Yet, even if there is no door to hell, you still come knocking. Lin Xun, if you’ve come to plead for the Lin Clan, then I can only tell you that it's impossible for the Lin Family to survive!" said Qin Baoji in a very calm and conceited manner.

Other guests also chimed in, "Lin Xun, the Lin Clan is over, so you should just obediently surrender. This is the Qin Clan’s territory, and you alone are destined to be unable to make any changes in this situation."

When Lin Xun saw this, he couldn't help but laugh. His laughter was like thunder, resounding through the night.

These bastards are so ignorant. Do they really think that I lost my wits due to anger and rushed here to die alone?

"You’ve all over-thought this. Tonight, the Qin Clan will be destroyed, and you all..."

Lin Xun suppressed his smile. His dark eyes were cold as he scanned everyone in the hall one by one. "I won't let anyone go!"

As he finished, he drew a stroke with his fingers. Sword qi that swept out into the sky appeared, shining like a divine rainbow, tearing the night sky apart and creating a dazzling sight.

“Slash!”

When the sword qi fell, it was like a river of stars stretching across the sky, striking hard at the formation that protected Emerald Cloud Peak with an irresistible force.

When Lin Xun spoke, everyone thought that he was crazy. A single youth wanted to destroy the Qin Clan. Wasn’t that a sign of insanity?

And when Lin Xun took action, many people sneered. This was the Qin Clan. Did he think he could shake this place with his measly power?

But when Lin Xun's sword qi fell, no one could laugh anymore. They were all dumbfounded and filled with terror!

What kind of sword qi is this?

It was so blazing, vast, and concise. In addition, it was filled with a power that could oppress all living beings! The strength contained in this sword qi was so mighty that it completely exceeded all their imaginations. It made them almost suffocate just by looking at it.

With a loud boom, the earth trembled and the mountains shook, and the color of the heavens and earth changed.

With a single sword qi, he cut through the Qin Clan’s mountain-protecting formation. Thousands of feet of sword energy cut a deep crack into Emerald Cloud Peak. The sword qi surged, causing rocks and vegetation to explode.

Any cultivator who was close to the place where the sword qi struck was instantly wiped out! That was the power of Lin Xun's sword strike.

It was also at this time that he used his true power. Of course, if it weren't for the fear of destroying this peak, the power of that one sword qi would be far more than that!

Boom!

The grand hall where Qin Baoji and the others were located was also split open by the sword energy and collapsed.

For a moment, there were endless screams and shouts. The guests all fled in panic, with fear and horror imprinted on their faces. Only then did they realize that their previous speculation was incredibly wrong!

“How bold!”

"How many years has it been? I can’t believe someone has still dared to come to my Qin Clan to cause trouble."

Such a big commotion had instantly alarmed the old monsters of the Qin Clan who were living in seclusion on Emerald Cloud Peak. Thus, they all jumped into the air and showed themselves

At a glance, there were actually more than ten people who appeared!

However, when they saw that Lin Xun was the only one who had come to cause trouble, these old monsters at the king stage were obviously stunned and surprised. They all had the exact same expression that Zuo Cen and others from the Zuo family had before.

"Ancestor, we must kill this beast!" snarled Qin Baoji as he gritted his teeth. He was almost going crazy with hatred.

“Slash!”

At this time, Lin Xun remained calm and struck out with his sword qi again. There was only one way to describe it: quick and incredibly fast!

It looked like it was breaking the constraints and boundaries of space. It simply flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight, and its trajectory could not be followed at all.

But in the next moment, everyone in the Qin Clan saw the power of this sword.

Puff!

A line of blood suddenly appeared at the throat of an old monster at the king stage. Then, their entire head flew up, and blood splattered into the night sky.

Puff, puff, puff!

Immediately afterwards, the heads of the old king stage monsters who were standing on the sides were also blown away.

From a distance, the bloody heads falling in the night sky looked particularly gruesome and shocking. With one sword qi, all the king-level cultivators of the Qin Clan who had shown up were decapitated!

This shocking scene made Qin Baoji, who was furious and furious, suddenly freeze up and cry out, "This..."

As for the guests who had come to attend the Qin Clan’s banquet, they were all stunned silly and it felt as if their souls had left their bodies. One sword qi had killed a group of kings! When had they ever seen something so horrific within their lifetimes?

“Run!”

Without hesitation, these people all chose to escape. The Qin Clan was no longer as impregnable as they had imagined. Instead, a desperate situation had appeared in which they could lose their lives at any moment!

As for the Qin Clan, all the clansmen and powerful people living on Emerald Cloud Peak had already been frightened. They were panicking, crying for their parents.

No one had thought that on a night where they were celebrating their imminent victory that such a catastrophic disaster would occur!

Standing under the night sky, Lin Xun was like a cold and unfeeling god that casted a shadow over Emerald Cloud Peak and brought death to the Qin Clan...!

"Slash!"

Lin Xun's expression was as indifferent as before, and the scenes that were happening to the Qin Clan were reflected in his dark eyes. Without hesitation, he launched the third blow.

This time, one hundred and eight rays of Taixuan sword qi swept out. They resembled the rain of a divine rainbow as they rose into the sky, traced out paths, and fell into the Qin Clan. Bloody heads were easily chopped off.

In the end, none of the guests survived! While they were dying, they couldn't believe that such a thing would happen to them. After all, just moments ago, they were thinking about how to carve up the properties of the Lin Clan like a piece of fatty meat...

Poof!

Qin Baoji lost his head.

His face was full of unwillingness, fear, despair and bewilderment. Just earlier, he was entertaining guests and friends, arrogantly arranging matters to divide up the Lin Clan’s property, but now...

Everything had been in vain!

That night, after the Zuo Clan, the Qin Clan also suffered a great disaster.

Lin Xun's three sword strikes destroyed the Qin Clan’s mountain-protecting formation, slaughtered their kings, and slew Qin Baoji and other important figures.

Emerald Cloud Peak was now stained with blood.
