Dual Cultivator Reborn[System In The Cultivation World]

Chapter 1050: Emergency Quest

After leaving the river-shore city, Yohan and Elaine reached their first destination, where one of the branch families was situated.

​The two of them looked in the direction of a large settlement. The entire settlement was protected by high-tier arrays, and the security was exceptionally tight. Thousands of armored guards stood vigilantly on the high walls. It was a small city in its own right, surrounded by mountains and situated hundreds of miles away from the Lin Clan.

​’So they have indeed hired cultivators. Those elders were right; hiring that many rogue cultivators requires a massive amount of wealth... The Northern Royal Family truly is their backer,’ Yohan pondered, noticing multiple cultivators inside the settlement. However, all of them possessed insignificant cultivation bases. Most were just ordinary cultivators with lower realms, posing no actual threat to him.

​Apart from those ordinary cultivators, Yohan could sense only one strong presence among them. There was only a single aura that caught Yohan’s attention. He was deep in thought, planning his next move, when suddenly, a notification rang out inside his head.

​Ding!

​[EMERGENCY QUEST TRIGGERED: THE SEVEN-ROOT UPROOTING]

​■ Mission Description:

​[SYSTEM WARNING]

This is a path of absolute slaughter meant for a true apex predator. The Host is required to execute this mission entirely alone. Utilizing any external help will instantly trigger Quest Failure.

​This was the exact same notification that had taken place in Yohan’s head before—a reminder of the mission he had received from the system when he was still inside the Lin Clan. This was the precise reason why Yohan had refused to take anyone’s help; the emergency quest was meant for him alone. The only reason he had brought Elaine along was because she had promised him that she would do nothing to disrupt his actions. He had sternly warned her not to get involved, and she had accepted.

​Yohan was surprised to see the astonishing rewards section. If he completed the mission successfully without failure, he could achieve the next major realm with the system’s help, without even consuming the tremendous amount of Yin Qi stored inside his body. Furthermore, once he reached the next major realm, he would be able to restore one of the system’s primary functions, which had been temporarily disabled when he reached the maximum storage threshold for Yin Qi inside the system space.

​Apart from the major realm breakthrough, he would also obtain Heaven-grade items, a new title, and an amazing new passive skill.

​”Are you having second thoughts about your decision?” Seeing Yohan lost in deep thought, Elaine asked. She could somewhat understand if he felt hesitant about killing his own blood relatives.

​”Second thoughts, huh?” Yohan tilted his head and looked at Elaine with a smile. She was surprised to see such an expression on his face.

​”Do you really think I care about these vermin who dared to harm my family and plot against my clan? Lady Elaine, I am not a kind man. If someone dares to disrupt my peace, I will surely erase their very existence from this world. These people have crossed lines they should have never crossed in the first place!” Yohan added, his silver eyes flashing with extreme killing intent. Elaine was taken aback by his words and the sinister look in his eyes. She knew right then that he was completely serious, and that he had absolutely no intention of reconciling with these people or sparing their lives.

​”Do you still remember your promise?” Yohan asked, reminding her of the words she had given him before they left the river-shore city. Elaine’s facial expression shifted slightly upon hearing him, but she nevertheless nodded her head in response.

​”Don’t worry, I have no intention of getting involved in your personal affairs. I am merely an observer!” she exclaimed. Yohan simply smiled, satisfied with her words. In the next instant, he disappeared from Elaine’s side and reappeared right in front of the settlement, finally revealing himself to the guards stationed at the entrance.

​The guards were utterly taken aback by Yohan, who seemed to materialize out of nowhere. Panic spread among them as they saw him hovering directly above their heads. At this very moment, Yohan opened his closed arms and decided to confront the people of the branch family, giving them one final chance.

​”My name is Yohan Lin... From this day onwards, this branch family ceases to exist. The women and children may leave this settlement within one hour. I will not harm you if you decide to comply. However, if you choose not to comply and remain inside this place, I will not hesitate to destroy everything within these walls...”

​Yohan used his spiritual sense to connect with every single soul residing within the walls. Everyone heard his voice echoing loud and clear inside their heads. Instantly, the entire place turned upside down upon receiving Yohan’s warning. Everyone knew that something major was happening inside the family premises; guards and cultivators had been deployed everywhere, and the leader of the branch family had already placed a curfew for some unknown reason, strictly restricting everyone’s movements. Now that they heard Yohan’s voice, these people finally understood the reason behind such tight security. Most of them felt intense fear gripping their hearts at Yohan’s voice and the stern warning he gave. They were well aware of what he had done to the Nichole Clan; he was an absolute monster who had not only killed prominent figures inside the northern region but was also actively threatening the Northern Royal Family. No one in their right mind would ignore his warning. Fearing the absolute worst, people from the branch family began fleeing the premises, many of them cursing the leader of the branch family for putting their lives in danger by offending the young master.

​At the same time, the guards watching the sky turned pale, realizing that the person standing tall in the sky above their heads was none other than Yohan himself, the young master of the Lin Clan.

​At this exact moment, the figure of a middle-aged man appeared, followed by hundreds of cultivators. He looked up at Yohan, who stood in the sky with a calm expression. Yohan also looked down at the middle-aged man, who was watching him with a highly nervous gaze.

​”Young Master Yohan, what brings you here... Why are you threatening your own people? Don’t tell me you have come all this way just because I refused the official summons sent by Lady Alena?” the middle-aged man shamelessly exclaimed, pretending to be completely ignorant about his involvement with Northen royal family and the other leaders of the branch families.

​’That fucking bastard... He surely knows how to get on my nerves.’
