Chapter 356: His Daughter Likes Him…

Lin Xun walked out of the plain step by step. Everyone watched him, their throats dry.

At this moment, Lin Xun had already withdrawn all his pressure and spiritual power, appearing just like an ordinary person.

Yet even so, in their eyes, Lin Xun was like a demon!

A demon so terrifying that this world would not tolerate him.

Watching Lin Xun walk toward them.

The Elders protecting the Nine Continents geniuses with the Magic Formation felt their calves trembling.

Even as members of the Upper Five Realms, they had lost the thought of resisting at this moment.

If this Lin Xun were to raise a blade against them, they only hoped he would strike quickly.

Praying that he wouldn’t leave them with any unnecessary pain.

That was all they could hope for.

“Young ladies, you mustn’t—”

Just then, a soft cry came from within the Magic Formation.

Lin Xun looked over.

Wang Chen, Sikong Wangxing, the Dragon Cry Twin Girls, and the others ran out of the Magic Formation toward the fallen Holy Lord and Sect Masters.

But they would pass right by Lin Xun.

Everyone’s hearts tightened, cold sweat drenching their backs.

However, to their surprise, Lin Xun did nothing to them.

Instead, he let them run past.

Wang Chen helped up Abbot Grandfather, and Sikong Wangxing also helped up her father.

The Bodhi Holy Lord and the City Lord of Tianji City were only injured, their realms temporarily dropped. Though their injuries were not light, their foundations weren’t damaged. With a period of recuperation, they would be fine.

They knew this was because Lin Xun had held back.

The Dragon Cry Twin Girls ran to their father’s side, casting Spells to treat his wounds.

“I won’t die.” Long Ming shook his head, looking at Lin Xun’s retreating back.

The Dragon Cry Twin Girls also looked up, their expressions incredibly complex.

In the Rootless Secret Realm, he had saved them twice and even given them that Thunder Pearl.

These were all acts of kindness.

But he had harmed their father.

Although they knew that among Cultivators, one bears the consequences of their own Karma, and it was their father who tried to harm him first.

Lin Xun’s retaliation wasn’t wrong.

But out of human sentiment, even if the sisters understood these principles, their feelings remained complicated.

“There’s no need to hate him. It was us who bullied him with numbers, yet we were outmatched. Him sparing my life is also a favor.”

Seeing his two daughters staring at Lin Xun, Long Ming thought they wanted revenge and explained.

“Help me up.”

Long Ming coughed, his face turning increasingly Pale.

The sisters helped their father up with pained expressions.

Long Ming took a deep breath. With his cultivation entirely crippled, he bowed to Lin Xun: “Long Ming thanks Your Excellency for sparing my life.”

“There is no difference between killing you and crippling you.”

From beneath the mask, Lin Xun spoke indifferently, his voice devoid of emotion, not even turning his head.

“If you want to seek revenge against me, then wait until the next time we meet.” Lin Xun’s voice drifted from behind.

“When I see you next time, I will challenge you with my sword!” As Lin Xun passed by Jiang Yuerou, she bit her red lip.

“Then we’ll talk when we meet again.”

Lin Xun brushed past Jiang Yuerou. A breeze blew, and Lin Xun’s messy hair and Jiang Yuerou’s black hair lightly touched each other.

“By the way, your Disciple is excellent. Nurture her well.”

With those words, Lin Xun disappeared from the plain.

In the blink of an eye, he was nowhere to be found.

Only after confirming Lin Xun had truly left did the Elders feel as if they had been granted a grand amnesty. It felt like they had walked through the gates of hell, and they let out deep sighs of relief.

No longer maintaining the Magic Formation, the Elders slumped to the ground.

They all knew that the Magic Formation they had maintained was useless against Lin Xun.

It was nothing more than a thin sheet of paper; if Lin Xun wanted to pierce it, he could do so with a single poke.

The Nine Continents geniuses went to find their Masters.

Fortunately, they all found them, and their Masters were still alive.

Unfortunately, after experiencing that great battle, both their own and their Masters’ Dao Hearts had become unstable.

“Wang Chen… do you hate Abbot Grandfather?”

Complete Tranquility looked at Wang Chen, a bitter smile appearing on his aged lips.

Wang Chen shook her head, a flash of disappointment in her eyes.

“Wang Chen doesn’t hate Abbot Grandfather. Wang Chen knows that Abbot Grandfather did it for the reputation of the Bodhi Holy Land and for Wang Chen. It’s just that Wang Chen doesn’t understand…”

Complete Tranquility coughed and looked in the direction Lin Xun had left: “Don’t understand what?”

Wang Chen raised her Stainless Buddha Eyes:

“Wang Chen doesn’t understand. Grandfather didn’t want to’subdue the demon’ originally, so why do so for the reputation of the Bodhi Holy Land and for the world’s opinion?”

“Wang Chen doesn’t understand. Abbot Grandfather used to say that the path of the Buddha must be walked by oneself, and how others interfere is all an illusion.”

“So why did Abbot Grandfather want to sever Wang Chen’s Heart-dust for Big Brother Lin by Subduing the demon?”

Listening to Wang Chen’s words and looking into her pure Buddha eyes, Complete Tranquility was first stunned, then smiled.

“Because…”

Complete Tranquility stroked his granddaughter’s forehead, his kindness as gentle as a cloud.

“Abbot Grandfather is not just a monk; he is also Wang Chen’s Abbot Grandfather.”

Since he was her grandfather, what grandfather in this world wouldn’t look out for his granddaughter?

“I really didn’t expect that kid to be so strong.”

The City Lord of Tianji City clutched his chest and slowly stood up with his daughter’s support.

“Father…”

Sikong Wangxing looked at her father seriously.

“Daughter, don’t worry.”

The City Lord of Tianji City coughed and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face turning paler.

“Although I failed this time, regarding your marriage contract, Father will definitely find a way!”

“Even if I die, I will never let you fall into that Devil Head’s hands!”

“Father!”

“Hmm?”

Sikong Wangxing bit her red lip tightly.

After a long time, the young girl looked up and spoke slowly: “Daughter… Daughter likes him.”

“Master.”

Jiang Qingshang came before her Master and bowed while holding her sword.

Jiang Yuerou didn’t look at her Disciple but instead toward the direction he had left.

“That Lin Xun… he just praised you, saying you’re excellent. Did you two fight in the Rootless Secret Realm?”

“Yes.” Jiang Qingshang did not hide it at all.

“What was the result?”

Jiang Qingshang said frankly: “Due to the time constraints, under the Golden Core Realm, the outcome was undecided. However, if we had fought to the end, this Disciple feels that Lin Xun would have been slightly superior.”

“Mhm.” Jiang Yuerou nodded. “Old Man Tianji’s words won’t be empty. If one day Lin Xun brings disaster to the world, the only person who can stop him is you.”

Jiang Yuerou withdrew her gaze and looked at her only Disciple: “Qinger, do you have that confidence?”

The girl’s eyes were like swords, sharp and piercing: “If that time truly comes, Qinger will cut off his head!”

Jiang Yuerou spoke no more, looking at her only Disciple with a gratified smile.

On the day after the Rootless Secret Realm ended.

The news of Lin Xun’s reappearance spread throughout the world like a bolt of lightning.
