Territory. Inheritances. Bloodline. All of it had been left behind by generations of Lin Clan seniors. It was all thanks to them that the Lin Clan members of today enjoyed a lofty status. Treachery in the council hall was a grave sin that the clan couldnât accept!
Lin Yun and Lin Zijingâs deaths caused the emotions of the people in the Infinitum Swordsea to boil over.
âLin Jie, surrender!â
âAccept the clanâs punishment!â
âStop the battle at the council hall!â
âMore of the Lin Clan members rushed over and shouted.
Lin Jieâs response was to blast the black star with the Judgment. The black star was consumed by black and white flames.
âLin Feng!â
The next moment, everyone saw that the black star was unharmed. All of the nova source on its surface had been sucked into the hexagonal aperture, the starâs appetite seemingly endless.
The next moment, an attack that was exactly the same as the Judgmentâs was spat out of the aperture. There was a bright black and white flash as the astralship was struck and sent crashing into a distant mountain.
âItâs a miracle!â
âLin Jie, youâve lost!â
âSurrender! Surrender!â
The entire clanâs shouts formed a wave that struck Lin Jie. He spat out a glob of blood as he venomously looked at the black star. He hadnât expected Tianming to transform and ruin his plans.
âItâs fine. Tianxi and the alien monster should be thinking of a way to handle this. The duel on Mount Taia should also remove those two eyesores.â At that moment, a gold transmission stone lit up in Lin Jieâs hands.
The figure on the other end only said one sentence before cutting off the line. âChi Hun has fallen and it was likely Yi Daiyanâs machinations, run now if you havenât succeeded yet!â
Lin Jie dropped the transmission stone to the floor. Then he staggered backward and fell to the ground. âI fell into the abyss when I was just one step from the throne of the Lin Clan.â All of his ambitions over the years had turned into pain. âHow could Lin Xiaodao be so strong? How could the current Lin Clan have such luck?â
It was the clan he had been disappointed in!
Then he saw the black star advancing toward the Judgment. It was thanks to the astralship that he had avoided Lin Yunâs fate for the moment. He hurriedly shifted all its nova source to its mobility as he remembered the order to ârun nowâ!
The Judgment immediately overcame the devouring force and sped off into the sky.
âSwordgod Lin Clan, Infinitum Swordseaâ¦. Iâll be back one day, and through the front door at that!â Lin Jie said with all the venom he could muster. However, the merciless black star had imprinted itself in him as a nightmare.
â¦â¦
Although Lin Jie had survived, seeing him fleeing like a rat was enough to help the Lin Clan members feel like their anger had been vented.
As for his four thousand astral god followers, they all fell to their knees, filled with despair and regret.
The winner was king.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The council hall conflict was more or less over; however, people were still afraid as Tianxi and the alien monster hadnât shown their faces yet. Theyâd been about to, but Tianmingâs transformation had made them rethink it.
The fight inside the council hall was still ongoing.
The first branch master, Lin Chongyao, excitedly ran into the council hall and shouted, âLin Yun and Lin Ziqing are dead! Lin Jie has run away! You all might be allowed to live if you surrender.â
He noticed that the Fishguts had a hole in it, but the ladies inside were fortunately fine.
Lin Chongyaoâs younger brother, Lin Chongjing, had clearly seen whatâd happened outside. âRun!â
âYou all can run, yes. But what about your wives? Your children? Do you still want your descendants to be branch masters?â Lin Xiong sneered.
The five traitors froze. Apart from Lin Chongjing, the remaining four were all of their branchâs main lines of descent!
âLetâs kneel to the ancestors!â Lin Chongjing said.
All of them fell to their knees with looks of utter despair.
âLin Chongjing, kneel to father!â Lin Chongyao angrily roared.
âLin Chongyao, fine, you win this time! But donât laugh too soon. After the second patriarch dies and Lin Jie returns, I wonât give up as long as you donât kill me!â Lin Chongjing snarled, then knelt toward the ancestral hall.
âChildish.â Lin Chongyao reminded Lin Xiong and the rest to take care of Feiling and the rest, then flew out.
Everyone was still watching the black star. What was it doing? Had it scared off Tianxi and the alien monster? They all wanted their questions answered.
âProtect him!â The Lin Clan members present all surrounded the black star and held hands, keeping it in the center.
The black star seemed to have used up much energy and was falling into hibernation mode. Then it began sinking, shrinking as it descended toward the council hall.
Lin Chongyao flew the Phantavoid over. âLin Feng should still have his rationality and is preparing to go into the council hall!â
The black star had shrunk to a hundred meters in diameter. It was already touching the formation when Lin Chongyao felt a fatal sense of danger as one streak of golden light and one streak of black light shot toward the shrinking star!
