Chapter 2356 The Legend of the Past has Returned Again

"Rong Linhe, you are courting death!"

Ye Xiaoqi's eyes were bloodshot as he squeezed out that exclamation from between his teeth. He was clearly infuriated.

The high level figures of the Ye Clan also stood up suddenly with a fierce momentum. It was as if they would take action immediately as long as Ye Xiaoqi gave an order.

However, Rong Linhe was not afraid of the danger.

Instead, he smiled as usual and said slowly, "Everyone, please be patient. I said that this is just the beginning. If you take action now, you may not be able to see the good show later."

There is more?!

Ye Xiaoqi's heart sank. He took a deep breath and waved his hand as he said, "Let’s sit down first and witness what tricks he has up his sleeve."

Rong Linhe smiled and said, "Now that's the right attitude."

Suddenly, a panicked shout came from outside the dojo, "Patriarch, something bad has happened. The ninth steward and Third Young Master have disappeared together!"

"Although the third young master is young, he has the potential to turn into a dragon. I admire him very much, so I have invited him to visit my humble home,” said Rong Linhe casually.

Ye Xiaoqi and other elders of the Ye Clan felt more and more depressed. Their hands and feet had turned cold, and they had completely realized the seriousness of the problem.

Following that, every once in a while, there would be more bad news. It was like a series of blows, making Ye Xiaoqi and other higher ups of the Ye Clan feel cold and their faces became more and more ugly.

Rong Linhe seemed to be unaware of it. Every time there was bad news, he would simply comment casually. Those casual statements were like knives, stabbing the hearts of the Ye Clan members.

Even the clan leaders who had come with Rong Linhe couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Too cruel!

This was clearly a premeditated strategy to catch the younger generation of the Ye Clan in one fell swoop and force the Ye Clan to bow their heads!

In other words, in this situation, how could the Ye Clan not bow their heads?

After all, once the younger generation was eradicated, the Ye Clan would have no successors for a period of time. Since the aeth qi concentrations were recovering now, even if the clan itself could survive, without the younger generation, they were destined to be abandoned by this era!

The atmosphere was becoming more and more depressing, making people feel oppressed and breathless.

An elder of the Ye Clan said bitterly, "Patriarch, we can let go of the Nine Auspicious Aeth Springs, but those children...we have to make sure they come back safe!"

Other members of the Ye Clan also turned to gaze at Ye Xiaoqi, looking anxious, angry, and aggrieved. Unfortunately, they had to accept the bleak reality.

Ye Xiaoqi was silent, his face was ashen with minute expressions flickering.

He was also shaken.

Ultimately, losing the aeth springs wouldn’t be the end of the world. However, if something happened to the younger generation in the clan, they were doomed.

At this moment, Rong Linhe smiled and said, "Everyone, now it is not just a matter of Nine Auspicious Aeth Springs. If you want those young talents to come back alive and well, your Ye Clan must bow your heads and choose to submit fully to Heaven Axis Holy Land!"

At the end, he spoke loudly and resolutely.

Bang!

Ye Xiaoqi stood up and kicked the low table in front of him to pieces. He snarled with a grim look, "Rong Linhe, are you planning to force my Ye Clan to the brink of death?"

Rong Linhe picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, showing disdain, "Fellow Daoist Ye, the time has come. I may as well be frank now. In the eyes of Heaven Axis Holy Land, your Ye Clan is just a starving mutt on the verge of death. It will be easy for us to destroy the Ye Clan."

He swept his eyes over the Ye Clan members present with an indifferent and cold expression, "If it weren't for the fact that Heaven Axis Holy Land has just arrived and it would take some manpower to control this territory in the future, you would not be qualified to negotiate with us!"

This announcement showed his true domineering and majestic attitude, shocking everyone present.

Ye Xiaoqi's expression became uncertain. If it was just him, he would rather die and fight, but now his decisions and actions represented the entire Ye Clan. The lives and fates of thousands of clansmen were all weighing heavily upon him.

This forced him to endure and consider all kinds of consequences. No matter how aggrieved, angry, or helpless he was, he could only endure.

"Now, it's time to make a decision," announced Rong Linhe calmly, his eyes full of arrogance and disdain.

"I..." Ye Xiaoqi felt as if his throat had been blocked, and there was an unprecedentedly heavy weight upon his shoulders.

This was a decision that would determine the clan’s ultimate fate...which was an incredibly hard choice to make!

At this time, a panicked and restless voice suddenly came from outside the hall, "Miss Lingshuang, the clan leader and others are discussing matters..."

"Get out of the way!"

Everyone couldn't help but look over.

Then, they saw Ye Lingshuang, who was dressed beautifully in red, hurrying in. Beside her was a strange young man.

Rong Linhe couldn't help but frown. They were already at a critical moment, but they had been disturbed by a little girl. Anger bubbled within him.

However, when he saw the young man next to Ye Lingshuang, Rong Linhe's pupils shrank.

Such a familiar figure, could it be

that

young man from back then?

"Lingshuang?"

"Lass, you don’t need to be here, so why did you come in? Even if the heavens fall, we are still here to support you, so leave here quickly."

"Why did you bring a stranger here? Have you also been..."

The Ye Clan elders were also surprised. Furthermore, when they saw Lin Xun following Ye Lingshuang, their hearts tightened and their expressions changed suddenly, thinking that she had also been forced to come here.

At this moment, Ye Xiaoqi, who was sitting in the center, jumped up as if he had been stabbed by a needle in the bum. He stared fixedly at the young man next to Ye Lingshuang in disbelief, and his mouth dropped wide open.

"Fatty, long time no see."

Lin Xun smiled, his eyes full of emotion. The Ye Xiaoqi he had remembered from back then was pale, pure, and naive-looking.

Now, he stood tall and straight, with a strong chin and a hint of experience in the corners of his eyes. He had turned into a completely different person.

A hundred years had passed, and the world had been transformed. Now, his old friend in his memories had also faded away!

Fatty?

Everyone present was stunned. This was the head of their Ye Clan, the uncrowned king of the East Sea! Ever since he had taken over the power of the clan, he had already established a great reputation.

Even the older generation of cultivators had to respect him!

Yet in the mouth of the strange young man, he was a ‘fatty.’

Furthermore, what unfolded next stunned everyone present.

Their esteemed patriarch, who was as majestic as the sea in their hearts, was so excited that he trembled and he blurted out almost incoherently, "Hahaha, you finally have a conscience and have come to see me, your old friend!"

His resounding voice full of joy spread throughout the audience.

Everyone slanted a look over as they could see that the head of the Ye Clan, who was usually very much a closed book, had lost control of himself. His face was full of pure ecstasy and excitement.

For a moment, they couldn't help wondering who this strange young man was, and how he managed to make Ye Xiaoqi lose his composure as soon as he appeared.

Ye Lingshuang was now completely relieved. All this proved that the senior beside him had not been lying. He was indeed his grandfather's friend.

Lin Xun sighed lightly, looked around the whole place, and said, "If I hadn't come, then how would I know that you are in such a difficult situation now?"

This sentence calmed Ye Xiaoqi down. He looked gloomy and shook his head bitterly, "Brother Lin, I..."

Lin Xun waved his hand and interrupted, "No need to say more, I already know everything that has happened. Since I'm here, leave this matter to me."

His statements were light and casual.

However, the Ye Clan elders were all flabbergasted.

He’s so sure of himself, but Heaven Axis Holy Land is the one oppressing us!

The Ye Clan couldn't even raise their heads earlier!

How could he solve it alone?

Even Ye Lingshuang, who had brought Lin Xun all the way here, couldn't help but be astonished.

"What a farce. My friend, do you know the identities of the people here? How dare you be so arrogant?"

Suddenly, an old man in a gorgeous robe sneered. He was one of the many clan leaders who had come with Rong Linhe.

Seeing him speak, the other clan leaders nearby also smirked.

This young man clearly didn't see the situation clearly. The ignorant were truly fearless!

However, Lin Xun glanced at the old man in the gorgeous robe and said, "How dare you, a slavish dog, bark in front of me?"

As soon as his voice fell, the old man in the gorgeous robe began bleeding from all seven orifices, and he fell to the ground, convulsing, as if had been struck with epilepsy. He couldn't speak anymore.

His soul had been shattered!

The whole audience gawked at this, all in shock. With just one sentence, a Saint-King was severely injured!

Only Ye Xiaoqi looked normal. Inwardly he sighed.

This guy is still as domineering as before.

The scene had descended into chaos, with screams everywhere. All the other clan leaders panicked as they had realized how terrifying Lin Xun was.

At this moment, Rong Linhe stood up and locked his eyes on Lin Xun like lightning, "Lin Xun, it's really you!"

He finally realized that the young man in front of him was Demon God Lin, who had been crowned as the Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield decades ago, a young man who was a legend!

However, after not seeing him for so many years, Lin Xun's temperament and appearance had changed, so Rong Linhe couldn't recognize him at first.

Lin Xun!

When they heard this name, the whole audience was shocked and astounded.

For the Ye Clan members and the clan leaders present, this name was absolutely well-known and legendary. Even after many years, there were still rumors about him in the All Dao Realm.

Lin Xun was unparalleled in their world, and everyone had heard of his name.

He was the head of the Lin Clan of Mind Cleansing Peak, and an unrivaled genius with great skills. He had fought in the mountains and rivers and killed countless enemies of the empire, dyeing the battlefield with lots of blood.

He had once conquered Blood Kill Battlefield and single-handedly turned the tide by destroying the Magi Brute army and breaking the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races. He was like the sun that ruled all.

Once...

There were too many legendary deeds and stories about him!

However, as time went by, the aeth qi concentration began to improve, and the younger generations of experts began to rise up. In addition, Lin Xun had disappeared from the lower world for many years, so recently, very few people still mentioned him.

As the saying went, there were talented people in every generation, and each of them could lead the trend for hundreds of years.

The elegance of the past was always blown away by the wind and rain. No matter how amazing and brilliant the previous heroes were, after disappearing for many years, they would fade from the people's memories and lose the brilliance they had in the past. Only some rumors would still remain in the world.

However, no one had expected that this legend, who had attracted worldwide attention in the distant past, would return now!

For a moment, all eyes turned to Lin Xun, revealing pure shock.

Ye Lingshuang's cheeks flushed with excitement, and she clenched her beautiful hands tightly. Since she was a child, she had heard her grandfather talk about many things about the man called "Lin Xun.” During her childhood, she had many daydreams and thoughts about him and had regarded as a role model she desperately wanted to follow.

Despite all that, she had never thought that this senior who had saved her earlier was actually the legend she had admired the most since she was a child!
