Chapter 764 - 694: Flag_1
“`
The ceremony was about to culminate.
A cold shout interrupted, causing everyone present to be shocked.
“A Venerable?”
“Who dares to cause trouble in the Zhenming Holy Land?”
“The Grey Mist Revered One… Is it someone from the Grey Mist Forces?”
Amidst the crowd’s astonishment, a cold shout continued to emanate:
“The Lin Family Envoy has arrived here. Owner of the Zhenming Holy Land, come forth immediately to welcome and meet them!”
The Lin Family!
As soon as these words were spoken, they stirred a commotion among the crowd.
“The Lin Family has actually come…”
“The Lin Family Ancestor has already become a God Emperor, and it was only a matter of time before he annexed the world. I just didn’t expect it to be so soon…”
And Honored Haoming, his expression also turned solemn, and he said to Mu Wanqing and Yun Chen:
“Lin Family Ancestor Lin Banyang has become the Grey Mist God Emperor!”
“This bodes ill.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Chen said in a deep voice:
“Let him in.”
Soon after.
A Grey Mist Revered One stepped into the midst of the assembly.
Two Ash Mist Divine Kings followed behind him.
“It’s the Lin Family’s Venerable Lin Lanshi!”
Someone recognized the identity of this person.
“Hehe, as soon as I entered the territory of the Zhentai Continent, I heard that the Zhenming Holy Land had changed hands and sought to abolish the Grey Mist Path?”
Lin Lanshi said with a cold expression:
“Laughable! How dare the Lord of the Desolate Heavens act so presumptuously…”
He had heard about the events that took place in the Zhenming Holy Land and held them in disdain.
In today’s world, their Lin Family was the master of the Misty Great Path.
To oppose the Misty Great Path was, to some extent, to oppose their Lin Family, wasn’t it?
He naturally harbored enmity towards this so-called Lord of the Desolate Heavens!
“The Lord of the Desolate Heavens is a supreme being. How dare you insult him!”
Shouted Honored Haoming in anger.
Lin Lanshi, with an indifferent face, said:
“Hehe… Fine, let’s not mention that ant-like Lord of the Desolate Heavens for now.”
“I have come here to seek justice!”
Saying this, his gaze fell on Saintess Zhen Xuan, and he said ominously:
“Zhen Xuan, I ask you, are you responsible for the death of our clan’s genius Lin Jiangsi, as well as Venerable Lin Lanshan and others?”
——Lin Banyang deduced causality and only saw the scene where Lin Jiangsi encountered Zhen Xuan in the Lower World.
Therefore, the Lin Family came here to seek justice under this pretense.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Xuan was silent for a moment but then said decisively:
“Lin Jiangsi was arrogant and haughty, seeking his own death. I watched them die with my own eyes!”
“They got what they deserved!”
Lin Lanshi immediately became furious.
He did not expect Zhen Xuan to actually admit it directly.
Moreover, so boldly and unapologetically, she did not seem to regard the Lin Family in the slightest.
“Good, very good!”
His face darkened, and the aura of a Grey Mist Revered One was released, as he said: “The Lin Family gives you of the Zhenming Holy Land one opportunity.”
“Immediately lead the entire continent in submission to the Lin Family!”
“Otherwise, for the death of our clan’s genius and Venerables, my clan will inevitably launch a clan war to avenge our genius and Venerables!”
This was an unabashed threat.
Yet, at this moment, a detached voice rang out.
“Revenge? You are looking for the wrong person.”
Yun Chen walked out from the crowd, looking indifferently at Lin Lanshi, he said:
“Lin Jiangsi, Lin Lanshan, Lin Wuming… All died at my hands.”
The people from the Lin Family all looked towards Yun Chen.
Then, everyone was suddenly taken aback!
“No… This person, this person is…”
“Yun Chen!”
“What? Wasn’t he supposed to have died long ago? How is he still alive?”
Everyone exclaimed.
Lin Lanshi’s pupils contracted as he scrutinized Yun Chen and said:
“You little beast, you actually survived… and moreover, you have become a Great God-King!”
In his eyes, a mixture of shock and rage was evident.
Yun Chen was once regarded by the Lin Family as a calamity; they had forced him to leave the Divine Realm and go to the Lower World, even attempting to secretly poison him.
To ensure his death, the Lin Family had even consulted Daowuyi, who predicted Yun Chen’s certain death.
How could he have defied fate?
Yun Chen stepped forward slowly, word by word, he said:
“I survived because… I want to annihilate the Lin Family!”
To annihilate the Lin Family!
Lin Lanshi became furious and said:
“You little beast, you think you have risen to the skies just because you’ve gained some cultivation level, and now dare to defy a God Emperor lineage?”
“You did not die back then; today, I shall make you take your last breath.”
With a raise of his hand, grey mist rolled out, engulfing the sky above the Zhenming Holy Land.
The gray mist transformed into a massive tiger, reminiscent of a mountain, pouncing towards Yun Chen.
This was the Lin Family’s secret art: the Divine Tiger Roaring Sky Decree!
Performed with the Origin of the Grey Mist, its power was increased by more than a hundredfold.
He intended to kill Yun Chen in a single blow.
Just as Honored Haoming was about to intervene, Yun Chen stopped him, saying:
“I will settle the grudge between me and the Lin Family on my own!”
Upon saying that, he took a step forward.
The Three Thousand Great Dao raged!
Yun Chen, in the guise of a Great God-King, rose against the tide, fusing the Three Thousand Great Dao into one sword strike, and slashed out.
“`
At that moment, the long sword pierced the sky, and the grey tiger was instantly annihilated!
“What? You actually managed to destroy my Grey Mist Divine Tiger?!”
Lin Lanshi was shocked.
He was furious and exerted all his strength.
In front of the Zhenming Holy Land, a great battle erupted in an instant.
The battle power astonished the heavens, grey mist spilled out, and the fluctuations shook the wilderness.
Onlookers retreated thousands of li, not daring to get close.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred exchanges.
“No!”
A cry of agony suddenly rang out.
Yun Chen emerged from the grey mist spreading across the Sky Vault, his body shrouded in a layer of white mist. In his left hand, he held a human head.
The head of Lin Lanshi!
In his right hand, he held a mass of the Origin of the Grey Mist, within which a soul fluctuated, clearly that of Lin Lanshi.
Yun Chen was bathed in blood, his expression extraordinarily cold and indifferent, as if he were an Asura.
He tossed the head before several Divine Kings of the Lin Family.
“Take this head back and tell the Lin Family that I, Yun Chen, have returned.”
“The accounts of the past, this time, I will personally visit to settle them one by one!”
He stated coldly.
Seeing this, the few Divine Kings shivered in terror.
Yun Chen… had become so formidable!
As a Great God-King, he slayed a Venerable of the Grey Mist…
An invincible figure!
They picked up Lin Lanshi’s head, stumbling and fleeing in panic.
The Lin Family was defeated!
At this moment, many forces in the Zhentai Continent were also shaken.
“Yun Chen, the Divine Realm prodigy who was killed by the Lin Family years ago, has actually returned. The Divine Realm… will not be peaceful again.”
“To destroy Zhenming Laozu, to challenge the Lin Family… behind Yun Chen, could that Lord of the Desolate Heavens be no weaker than a God Emperor?”
“Very likely! We… might consider joining the Desolate Heaven Alliance.”
Many people spoke out!
“And with the soul of Lin Lanshi, let’s offer a sacrifice to the flag of the Desolate Heaven Alliance!”
Yun Chen walked up to the flagstaff and burst the Origin of the Grey Mist held in his hand into pieces!
Immediately, Lin Lanshi was utterly annihilated, disappearing like smoke.
“This flagstaff shall struggle against the Grey Mist to the very end…”
“To sacrifice a Venerable to the flag indicates that the Desolate Heaven Alliance is determined to oppose the Grey Mist all the way!”
“Our Divine Sword Sect requests to join the Desolate Heaven Alliance, to resist the Grey Mist Forces together!”
There was a clamor in the scene for a moment.
Many forces openly requested to join on the spot.
——In fact, legends of the Calamity Epoch, ancient prophecies and ancestral teachings, had always been widely circulated.
There were many who despised the Grey Mist.
However, in the current Divine Realm, forces like the Lin Family, Wang Family and others wielding the Grey Mist were too powerful, covering the sky with one hand, pressing down so that people could hardly breathe.
But many forces, many cultivators, did not want to follow this path.
Now, the Desolate Heaven Alliance has offered a different choice with a stance of iron and blood.
On that day, although many forces within the Zhentai Continent did not directly join the Desolate Heaven Alliance, they became its affiliates, subject to the Alliance’s orders and protection.
…
Soon.
Lin Family.
“Terrible news… Venerable Lanshi is dead!”
The news came back.
Commotion exploded within the family!
“What? Lin Lanshi is dead?”
“How is that possible, has the Zhenming Holy Land gone mad? How dare they lay hands on our Venerable…”
“Seeking death, seeking death!”
Many strong figures within the Lin Family were outraged.
“What exactly happened?”
Lin Lanfeng, the head of the family, roared in a thunderous voice in the grand hall.
Looking at the head of Lin Lanshi before him, his eyes nearly burst with flames.
Yet another Venerable… was dead.
For the current Lin Family, this was a challenge, a humiliation.
“Reporting to the family head, elders!”
“The Zhenming Holy Land has been replaced by a power called the Desolate Heaven Alliance.”
“The Desolate Heaven Alliance venerates someone they call the Lord of the Desolate Heavens and, moreover, opposes the Grey Mist Path!”
“The most abominable thing is… Yun Chen, who was once forced by our family to the Lower World, did not die. He has joined this force, and moreover, he has become a Great God-King.”
“Elder Lin Lanshi died at his hands.”
The returned Divine King spoke nervously.
Upon hearing this, a wave of turmoil rose amongst the Lin Family.
“Yun Chen is not dead…”
“That little beast can now slay a Revered One of the Grey Mist?”
“Has Dao Wuyi miscalculated the fate?!”
Many were astonished!
“Moreover, he specifically asked us to bring back the head, saying, saying…”
A Divine King faltered.
“Saying what?!”
Lin Lanfeng’s expression turned dark.
“He said he would personally come to settle the score with the Lin Family!”
Having said this, the Divine King immediately bowed his head.
Hearing this, fury erupted in Lin Lanfeng’s eyes!
The entire Lin Family… was enraged…
…
Goodnight
