Chapter 2515 The Truth According to Luo Ling

In the deep dark night, Bai Jianchen stood with his hands on his back, frowning in silence. His snow-white hair fluttering behind him in the wind, while his handsome youthful face flickered dimly.

He knew Yun Muzhe's details better than anyone else and was well aware of how terrifying a supreme figure he was.

The other party might act humble and courteous in front of him, treating himself as an elder, but Bai Jianchen knew that in Yun Muzhe's eyes, he was no different from anyone else. The younger man did not hold him in high regard and treat him with sincerity.

Heaven was without compassion as it saw everything as expendable. This saying meant that Heaven was neither humane nor inhumane, it merely viewed and treated everything in the same way.

Such was, in Bai Jianchen's opinion, Yun Muzhe’s mindset; because he was strong enough to think like that. In the eyes of supreme Emperor Ancestors, there was no difference between tiny ants and powerful Emperors.

Therefore, hearing such a request from Yun Muzhe right before his departure, which was uttered so suddenly and seemingly casually, Bai Jianchen was caught off guard, astonished even.

Just what on earth would incite the hostility of a figure like him toward a young man from the Ancient Nebula Road?

Bai Jianchen couldn't guess the reason, but he was certain that it was not Dugu Youran. With Yun Muzhe's character, there was no way that he would have killing intent out of jealousy or competition over a woman.

If one looked at Yun Muzhe in this manner, then they would be severely underestimating such a legendary supreme Emperor Ancestor. Moreover, he was Dugu Youran's cousin, and the two had been cultivating together since they were little.

If he had revealed the slightest romantic affection toward her, then the Dugu Clan would have been most happy to see them become a couple instead of racking their brains to arrange one blind date after another for her like they had been doing.

It was no exaggeration to say that one had to have a brain fart if they thought Yun Muzhe was someone who was obsessed with women.

Therefore...what could possibly be the cause of his killing intent?

After a long silence, Bai Jianchen sighed softly. A flash of determination surfaced in his eyes.

......

Bidding farewell to Xiang Xiaoyuan and the others, Lin Xun returned to the inn. He took no break before he summoned the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron and released Luo Ling, who had been imprisoned in it.

Previously, in the Dao Ruins, he had killed all the experts from the three great Immortal Imperial Clans but had captured Luo Ling alive in order to pry out information about the Luo Clan!

Her aura was feeble as she lay on the ground, her tall and slender figure making a delicate curve.

Lin Xun had to admit that her appearance was extremely outstanding. With healthy, ivory skin and a clear, elegant beauty, it was not surprising Wen Shaoheng would fall in love with her.

Lin Xun leisurely sat down on a chair. “Since you're awake, let's talk.”

Luo Ling lifted her head. There was nothing but indifference in her bright eyes as she said, “You think you can make me bow down because you captured me?”

Lin Xun smiled and pointed to the chair next to him, “Sit, and then we talk.”

Luo Ling was silent for a moment before she struggled up from the ground and took the seat. Her face was pale and her breathing was weak, but her every movement was composed.

“I know there is a Spirit Locking Seal on your spirit, so soul searches will be futile,” said Lin Xun casually as he looked at her.

“Since that's the case, why are you still spouting nonsense?” asked Luo Ling coldly.

“That does not mean I can't destroy you, though,” said Lin Xun. “That’s why I was able to kill Wen Shaoheng. Otherwise, why do you think the Wen Clan loathes me so much?”

Luo Ling was stunned, then she sneered, “Then why don’t you do it and see if I'm scared of death?”

Lin Xun laughed, “I only want to talk about some trivial stuff, so you don’t have to be so on edge. In fact, I know full well that while I’m in the Great Thousand Battle Domain, the Luo Clan will keep sending more experts to deal with me. However, this only means more and more opportunities for me to find out information I want.”

He paused briefly, his eyes unfathomable, “After all, other people of the Luo Clan may not all be as fearless of death as you are.”

At his remark, Luo Ling's expression faltered slightly, “What do you want to know?”

The smile on Lin Xun's face faded. He went quiet for a moment before he said, “Let’s talk about the grudge between my mother and your clan.”

Luo Ling was surprised, “You don't know?”

Lin Xun said, “I have only guessed some of it.”

A hint of ridicule flashed through Luo Ling's beautiful face, “You actually have no idea why your mother betrayed her clan, huh? Interesting.”

“Interesting?” Lin Xun's eyes instantly became chilling and deep as an abyss.

Luo Ling found herself suffocating, and the snide remark that had just reached her tongue suddenly couldn't be uttered.

Knocking on the table, Lin Xun blandly said, “I only want you to talk, not piss me off, so don’t do that again. Your life may be precious to the Luo Clan, but to me, you’re nothing more than a helpless prey to be slaughtered.”

Luo Ling's face clouded over as an indescribable sense of humiliation welled up in her.

Only after a long time did she take a deep breath and say, “Whether you accept it or not, the current Luo Clan sees your mother, Luo Qingxun, as a traitor. A long time ago, she stole the Omega Secret-Realm left for us by the Omega Lord and fled from the Eternal True Realm under the protection of her elder brother, Luo Xingyan.”

Deep anger flooded her expression as she continued, “Losing the Omega Secret-Realm means losing our core treasure, a pillar to us. It was from then on that the Luo Clan went on a decline, and in the years to follow, we have been subjected to countless humiliation.”

Her words exuded immense hatred, “Before this happened, our clan was a towering hegemony in the Seventh Heaven Domain who wielded a ninth grade Heaven Rank law. Who dared to be disrespectful to us then?

“But now? Not only were we expelled from the Seventh Heaven Domain, but our position in the Sixth Heaven Domain has also become embarrassing!”

Reaching this point, her eyes were filled with bone-deep hatred as she stared deeply at Lin Xun and stressed every word, “All of this is thanks to your mother!”

Lin Xun looked unperturbed. One’s stance depended on where one sat, so Luo Ling's narrative was naturally in favor of the Luo Clan.

He asked, “Then do you know why my mother took the Omega Secret-Realm?”

Luo Ling frowned, “Why even ask about something so simple? It was to usurp the clan head! Because the Omega Lord made a rule that whoever takes control of the Omega Secret-Realm will be the next leader.”

“Oh?” Lin Xun’s gaze was cold, “However, the Omega Secret-Realm fell into my mother's hands, so why didn't she become the matriarch but instead...a traitor?”

Luo Ling said angrily, “Because she is a thief, she stole the treasure! How could such a thief be qualified for the position of clan head?”

Lin Xun asked expressionlessly, “You saw her do it with your own eyes?”

Luo Ling was stumped, but she then laughed derisively, “Our elders personally went through that time themselves, and it has long become the consensus of everyone in the Luo Clan, so how could it possibly be wrong?”

Lin Xun repeated, “I only want to ask you, did you see it with your own eyes?”

Luo Ling's expression was gloomy and uncertain for a long time before she finally replied, “I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the history told by the clan elders cannot be wrong.”

Lin Xun couldn't help but snort out a laugh, “Clan elders? Yeah right. If they united and lied to cover up the truth, then how do you know if what you are told is true?”

Luo Ling also revealed a sneer full of ridicule, “I'm not going to argue with you, because the traitor is your mother, so of course you can't accept the fact that she's a traitor. But what you can't deny is that she stole the Omega Secret-Realm! And it is this loss that puts us in a state of decline and humiliation these countless years!”

Saying that, she exhaled deeply, “Also, no need to try to argue anymore. I’ve already said everything there is, so if you want to kill me, go ahead.”

Her face was calm and resolute.

Lin Xun stared at her for a moment and asked, “Nowadays, everyone in the Luo Clan thinks like you?”

Luo Ling didn’t hesitate, “That’s right!”

Lin Xun fell silent. No more words were spoken for a long time.

His abnormal behavior suddenly gave Luo Ling an idea. She said, “If you find this hard to accept and wish to atone for your mother's sin, I can ask the clan to give you a chance. As long as you hand over the Omega Secret-Realm and return to the Luo Clan with me, it already counts as redemption.”

“Redemption?” Lin Xun laughed, but there was not a shred of warmth in his eyes, only utter frost. “The moment I was born, the Luo Clan destroyed everything I could have had. You probably aren’t clear about it, but a long time ago, I have already sentenced the Luo Clan to death!”

When he was just born, his Origin Aeth Artery was dug out, and his parents disappeared in a bizarre way. He was then raised by Mister Lu in a difficult situation, only for Yanxing to appear out of nowhere and destroy that mine prison, along with which Mister Lu went missing...

Growing up, many of the fatal tribulations on his cultivation path were thanks to the Luo Clan! Whether it was the Nameless Esteemed Emperor, Heavenly Emperor Shi, Luo Xingfeng, or Luo Chen... There were just too many!

The hatred had long been seared into Lin Xun's bones!

Luo Ling smiled coldly, “You only have your mother to blame. She grew bitter fruits, and your misfortune is one of them.”

Lin Xun extended his hand, lifted Luo Ling's chin, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, “On the day I destroy the Luo Clan, I will also tell you that I, Lin Xun, is not who you should blame, but your Luo Clan is. That they grew this bitter fruit, and the misfortune that befalls you is called a well-deserved punishment.”

Luo Ling's sneer remained the same, “Destroying the Luo Clan? With just you? You probably don't even understand what it means to be an Immortal Imperial Clan. No matter how much we have fallen, we’re simply not something that you, a bumpkin from the Ancient Nebula Road, can shake!”

Buzz~

In Lin Xun's palm, a jade slip emitted a rain of light as it recorded what was happening.

“What are you doing?” Luo Ling frowned.

Lin Xun put away the jade slip and grinned, revealing two rows of neat, white teeth, “When the Luo Clan is destroyed, I will make you hear what you said today again as celebration.”

Looking at the calm and smiling Lin Xun, a chill inexplicably and uncontrollably creeped up Luo Ling's heart.
