Ling Tian Sword God

"Indeed, it's a powerful Bloodline."

Ling Chen was also startled by this formidable aura. He opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the enormous Three-headed Serpent's spectral image, shock reflected in his eyes.

To be born with such a unique and powerful Bloodline is undeniably a great advantage for any warrior.

Without a doubt, if Lin Yu were to activate the perfect Three-headed Serpent Bloodline within his body, his power would likely advance at a rapid pace, making breakthroughs by leaps and bounds.

"With this perfect Three-headed Serpent Bloodline, our Lin Family can hope to become a top-ranked aristocratic family in the Martial World!"

"Indeed, Young Master Lin Yu is too strong. Who would have thought that the third branch, which was squeezed out of the main family, would have such a genius!"

"Truly, heaven is favoring our Lin Family."

The Lin Family members were all ecstatic, dancing with joy, evidently extremely thrilled.

"This is all thanks to Young Hero Ling Chen for escorting Lin Yu to the Lin Family. If not for him, Lin Yu might have been killed on the road by the Elder Branch."

At this time, a rather fair-minded Lin Family Elder suddenly spoke up.

Hearing this, Lin Tianxiong also fell silent. He couldn't help but look towards Ling Chen, who was not far away, and sighed. Indeed, Ling Chen had done them a great favor. If not for Ling Chen, Lin Yu might have already been killed halfway, or even within the Lin Family. Yet, he had injured Ling Chen, which made him feel deeply ashamed.

By this time, the tremors at the center of the square had become increasingly violent. Lin Yu's Three-headed Serpent specter was also growing larger, causing the Energy in this section of the Void to become exceedingly turbulent, and the wind and clouds to lose their color.

"KEKEKE, it is indeed the perfect Three-headed Serpent Bloodline. For such a Bloodline not to serve my My Beast Gate is truly a great pity!"

Just at this moment, a sharp laughter suddenly echoed through the air. The next moment, a shadowy figure tore off his disguise, darted out from the Lin Family crowd, and appeared on a stone pillar in the center of the square.

"Who are you?"

Lin Tianxiong's expression changed. He stared at the shadowy figure in the air, and his heart suddenly sank, for the aura of that shadowy figure had actually reached the Great Grandmaster Eighth Layer!

"Who are you, and why have you infiltrated my Lin Family members?" a Lin Family Elder shouted sternly.

"Who am I?"

The shadowy figure in the air, clearly an old man in black robes, chuckled, then pointed towards the other side of the square. "You should ask the head of your Lin Family's Elder Branch."

As his words fell, numerous gazes turned in that direction. In their line of sight, a square-faced middle-aged man appeared at the edge of the square, a smug smile on his face.

The square-faced middle-aged man was none other than Lin Ba, who was supposed to be imprisoned.

"Lin Ba! How did you get out? Who released you!"

Seeing Lin Ba appear, Lin Tianxiong's expression darkened. This fellow had been confined by him to the rear mountain for solitary reflection. How could he be here?

"Who let me out? Naturally, it was this Demonic Beast Elder from the Myriad Beasts Sect."

A strange smile touched the corners of Lin Ba's mouth.

"What? Lin Ba, you treacherous son! You actually colluded with the Evil Cultivators from the Myriad Beasts Sect?!"

Lin Tianxiong was furious. He had initially thought that Lin Ba, however unworthy, was still a direct descendant of the Lin Family. But he had never imagined that this Lin Ba would actually conspire with people from the Myriad Beasts Sect to seize the position of Family Head!

"Who asked you, you old fool, to give the position of Family Head to an outsider?"

Lin Ba sneered coldly, a glint of malice in his eyes. "How much has our Elder Branch contributed to the Lin Family? Yet you turned a blind eye to all of it and chose to pass the Family Head position to a bastard from the third branch! This brat has a lowly status; what virtue or ability does he possess to usurp the Family Head's seat?"

"But he possesses the perfect Three-headed Serpent Bloodline," Lin Tianxiong shook his head, still insisting, "Only he can revitalize our Lin Family!"

"To hell with the perfect Three-headed Serpent Bloodline!"

"Father, you've occupied the position of Family Head for far too long; your eyes have grown dim with age. It's time for you to let go. Hand everything over to me," Lin Ba grinned, his smile utterly chilling. "With the covert support of the Myriad Beasts Sect, the Lin Family can still be revitalized. Besides, everyone in our Lin Family possesses the Three-headed snake bloodline. Joining the Myriad Beasts Sect will only benefit us, not harm us."

"Silence, you disgrace to the family!"

Lin Tianxiong was about to be driven mad by Lin Ba. This rebellious son was already incorrigible, beyond saving.

"Today, I will kill you first and cleanse the family!"

Enraged, Lin Tianxiong abruptly activated his Three-headed snake bloodline and struck out at Lin Ba with a furious palm.

Seeing Lin Tianxiong actually try to kill him, Lin Ba's expression changed drastically. Just as he prepared to retreat, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared before him and met Lin Tianxiong's palm strike.

BOOM!

The palms collided with a violent pneumatic explosion. Then, under numerous shocked gazes, Lin Tianxiong was sent flying, spewing a mouthful of blood, his face a deathly pale.

"Family Head Lin, I actually find your son's words quite reasonable."

The shadowy figure was precisely the Demonic Beast Elder from the Myriad Beasts Sect. His gaze fixed on Lin Tianxiong as he let out a chilling laugh. "A wise man submits to circumstances. It would be better for you to go with the flow; otherwise, the Lin Family will inevitably face a river of blood today."

His smile was filled with endless murderous intent, and his words clearly carried a hint of intimidation.

"Today, this Elder only wants this perfect Three-headed Serpent Bloodline. I can spare the rest of you. However, if you provoke me, I don't mind slaughtering the entire Lin Family to feed my little darlings."

"Demonic Beast Elder!"

Just then, Lin Ba hurriedly leaned in. "Don't forget, besides this perfect Three-headed Serpent Bloodline, there's also that brat Ling Chen. You promised me you'd take his life as well."

"Ling Chen? Just a mere 9th-Level Martial Artist. Killing him would be effortless. Alright then, I'll take his life too."

The Demonic Beast Elder glanced at Ling Chen, not recognizing him. Only the Elder of Myriad Beasts knew that Ling Chen had killed Xu Chao. However, while pursuing Ling Chen, the Elder of Myriad Beasts had suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Cyan-robed Guest, his soul nearly scattered from the terror. He had since returned to the Myriad Beasts Sect to recuperate in seclusion and had not spoken much about Ling Chen within the sect.

Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn't help but shake his head and smile. This guy is indeed intent on hounding me to death.

However, after his intense battle with Lin Tianxiong, his Vitality Energy was severely depleted. He couldn't even use the Ancient Saint King Battle Technique, let alone his usual strength. At this moment, even Lin Ba would likely be more than a match for him. If Lin Tianxiong were to choose to surrender, his own situation would immediately become extremely perilous.

"How can our Lin Family yield to Evil Cultivators! All Lin Family members, heed my command! Form the Heavenly Serpent Formation!"

Lin Tianxiong still had some backbone; he wasn't intimidated by just a few words. With a loud shout, the Lin Family Experts swarmed into the square. A full thirty to forty people formed a Great Formation resembling a coiled serpent, surrounding the Demonic Beast Elder and Lin Ba.

Seeing this, Ling Chen closed his eyes, accelerating his True Qi, desperately healing his injuries. He must recover to his peak condition before the Demonic Beast Elder breaks through the Lin Family's Array Formation.
