Beastmaster of the Ages

The two glanced at Dongshen Zhuojun. ”Where’s the children?” they asked.

”In the astralship,” said Dongshen Zhuojun.

”Let’s go! They’re good children. They must be protected, so no one can harm them,” Lin Xiao muttered.

”It won’t happen again, Lin Lao’er. I’ll protect them with my life,” said Dongshen Yue.

”Go, go.”

”Okay!”

Dongshen Zhuojun quickly joined them.

”By the way...” he said, turning around to take the corpses of the two divine wonderians with him, ”I’ll see if there’s any clues on these bodies. Who knows? I might find evidence. Although it won’t be enough to incriminate the ebons as a whole, we might be able to get some members of the Lin Clan to think twice. Not only did they fail to kill you, they’ve basically shot themselves in the foot. Their losses must be immense!”

”Yes, their good days are over,” Dongshen Yue fiercely said.

......

While the people on the other astralships were still shocked by the news of the Lin Sword of the Middle, Dongshen Zhuojun had already taken off and returned to the Oldgod Domain. Ebonia was destined to be turbulent today.

The two corpses were placed in a secret room on the astralship. The girls accompanied the old couple, who had already composed themselves and were no longer as heartbroken. They didn’t need comforting from the girls.

”It’s okay, don’t worry.” Dongshen Yue was rarely this gentle.

The three girls nodded.

Tugging Moran’s sleeve, Feiling winked at her.

”Are you sure?” she softly asked.

”Yes, Grandpa and Grandma can be trusted.” Feiling nodded.

”Alright.”

Feiling walked up to Dongshen Yue and said softly, ”Grandma, Little Fish needs the two bodies for something a little unusual.”

”What is it?” Dongshen Yue froze for a moment.

”You’ll see. They can enhance her divine wonders,” Feiling said.

”But that might destroy the bodies,” Moran added.

”That works?” Glancing at the girls, Dongshen Yue nodded. ”It’s fine. I can’t wait to tear them to pieces. It doesn’t matter if you destroy the bodies.”

In fact, Dongshen Yue had studied Moran numerous times, but never figured out how she could possess high-deific-class divine wonders despite her low cultivation level. Such a mismatch of strength and divine wonders was impossible; thus, she had her doubts upon seeing how strangely the two were behaving.

After asking Dongshen Zhuojun for a secret room, Dongshen Yue and the three girls left with Etherean Zhaohua’s bodies. A while later, Dongshen Yue shouted, ”Lin Lao’er, get in here!!”

......

The Infinitum Swordsea, Swordsoul Chamber.

Those who could stay in the main hall were core figures of the reformists. Lin Jie and Lin Yun were among them, but neither of them were in the main seat. The one occupying that position was a man dressed in a black and red robe, the tenth rex mundi, Chi Hun!

The entire group was watching the bees’ nest, as well as another special scene. In the beginning, they had been cool and calm, and even a little pleased. They laughed and chatted as if everything was under their control, but at a certain moment, everyone except for Chi Hun abruptly stood up.

”The Lin Sword of the Middle!!” everyone, including Lin Jie, exclaimed in shock.

”That’s impossible. He’s older than me! Any branch master or mistress who fails to obtain an ancestral sword before the age of three thousand will never succeed!” Lin Yun roared, the veins all over his body throbbing, his face twisted in an ugly grimace.

”That’s impossible!” Lin Jie bit his lip, tearing a wound.

”Yes! He’s almost at the end of his life!” Lin Xiaoyun was frozen in astonishment. He knew how difficult it was, because he was also attempting to obtain the third branch’s ancestral sword.

”This….”

Lin Wuyi had once thought that she could beat Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue. But the moment that sword had appeared, she felt a chill on the back of her neck and shrank back. Horrified and lost for words, they watched as Etherean Zhaohua fell under the sword and the two were beheaded. That was the picture given to them by Etherean Zhaohua. There was no way it could be fake.

Lin Yun and the others stumbled backward, eyes widened as if sluggish from the shock. Lin Yun’s hand was shaking.

”Lin Lao’er is truly tenacious. Even I’m surprised. The Lin Sword of the Middle?” Chi Hun clapped his hands, the loud sound of applause resounding throughout the main hall. It seemed to hit them in their swordhearts.

”It really is a surprise. You can even call it a miracle.” Taking a deep breath, Lin Jie said, his eyes gloomy, ”That old man’s always been a fighter. He’s given us such a big surprise.”

”More like a fright,” Lin Yun said, dumbfounded.

”The Lin Sword of the Middle is of great significance. He must’ve planned on keeping it as a hidden trump card. In a sense, it’s a good thing he was forced to show his hand now. Anyway, it’s just two dead divine wonderians,” Chi Hun lightly said. However, his clenched fists gave away his impatience; he wasn’t as calm as he sounded.

”The news will soon spread throughout the Lin Clan. And with his grandson’s performance.... It looks like we’ve been helping him each step of the way, allowing him to return to the council hall,” Lin Jie sneered.

”Lin Lao’er! He’s certainly capable. If it weren’t for Lin Mu, he would carry as much prestige as Ku. After all, he’s done a lot for your clan,” Chi Hun said.

”We must focus on dealing with him.... He might possess the Lin Sword of the Middle, but in terms of strength, he’s still far behind you, Rex Mundi.” Lin Yun coldly smiled.

”Are you implying that I should kill him?” Chi Hun asked.

”I wouldn’t dare!” Lin Yun nervously said. At that moment, he was more upset than everyone else. Although he could feel a serious decline in his strength, he had actually thought that Lin Xiao would be no match against him. But it turned out that he was still ahead of him.

”After the storm passes, we’ll come up with a more perfect plan. We can’t be so careless next time.” Chi Hun stood up. This time, the Lin Sword of the Middle had saved Lin Xiao; it was something he never could have expected. His gaze turned to another battlefield.

”Rex Mundi, it looks like Lin Feng’s in the same area as your son.”

Lin Yun exchanged a meaningful glance with the other experts of the Lin Clan. They were elated.
