Chapter 224 Taking the Initiative

"What?"

Lin Yuan frowned.

"Why didn't he attack when I killed the head of the Shangguan family?"

Lin Yuan looked at Xue Shenyun in confusion.

"He left this shadow, it shouldn't be to protect the Shangguan family."

Xue Shenyun also frowned, and said with a serious look, "He should be coming for me."

"Huh?"

Lin Yuan was even more confused after hearing this.

"In the East Wilderness, I am the only one in the Saint Realm."

"The Saint Lord Lingxiao has reached a bottleneck in his cultivation and is preparing to break through in seclusion. The only person who may hinder him is me."

Xue Shenyun seemed to have figured out the key to the matter.

She looked at Lin Yuan solemnly, "So... the whole thing, including the Shangguan family, should be just a pawn in the hands of the Lingxiao Saint."

"I see."

After hearing this, Lin Yuan suddenly realized, "You mean, the Lingxiao Saint needs to break through the bottleneck and is worried about being disturbed, so he pushed the entire Shangguan family to the stage to attract our attention?"

"That's right."

Xue Shenjun nodded and looked at Lin Yuan with relief, "The breakthrough he is about to make now must be very important, so in order to avoid being ruined by us, he must throw out a chip with enough weight."

"The Zhao family and the Ning family are from the same branch, and both families are protected by the Tianyun Holy Land."

"And the Shangguan family has no holy land backing, and a cave ancestor in the family was killed by you, so naturally it became the best abandoned pawn."

Xue Shenjun looked a little solemn.

After hearing this, Lin Yuan's face became serious.

"These people from the Central Domain Holy Land are really cruel."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and said coldly.

He thought for a moment, then looked at Xue Shenjun and asked, "Do you know where the Holy Lord Ling Xiao is breaking through?"

"I don't know."

Xue Shenjun shook her head.

But she immediately said, "If you want to find it, it shouldn't be difficult. When a Saint Realm expert breaks through, his aura is very obvious. I am also in the Saint Realm, so I should be able to sense his aura."

After she said that, she looked at Lin Yuan with some doubt.

"Why are you asking this?"

After hearing this, Lin Yuan sneered, with a sharp look in his eyes: "The more this Saint Lord Ling Xiao is worried about us disturbing his breakthrough, the more it shows that he is not sure about this breakthrough."

"In this case, we can definitely intervene."

After hearing this, Xue Shenjun looked at him deeply.

"Okay, I'll go find it for you right away, but Xiaoyuan, I need to remind you first that Lingxiao Saint Lord is in the Saint Realm after all."

"Even if he is trapped in the limit of breaking through, we can't kill him easily."

"I understand."

Lin Yuan nodded after hearing this, "I didn't think about killing him by force, but if I can do something to make Lingxiao Saint Lord suffer, it will definitely be a sure win."

"That makes sense."

Xue Shenjun looked at him in agreement, "Anyway, we have already made enemies with Lingxiao Holy Land. Even if you go to the Central Region in the future, the Holy Academy will definitely become a thorn in their eyes."

"Instead of passively taking a beating, it is better to take the initiative. This is the style of my Donghuang Holy Academy."

After that.

Xue Shenjun tore through the space and left.

Xu Qingyue and Xing Lan looked at Lin Yuan with some concern.

"Don't be afraid. If there is any danger, I will not show up rashly."

Lin Yuan gently patted the backs of the two women and said softly, "The head of the Shangguan family should not have the courage to arrest you directly. The person who did it must be related to Lingxiao Holy Land."

"So, no matter what, I will settle this account with them."

"Lin Yuan (Master), be careful!"

The two women looked at Lin Yuan seriously after hearing this.

Lin Yuan nodded, and while Xue Shenjun was investigating, he sent the two women back to Xu Qingyue's residence, and then quickly adjusted his state to the peak.

An hour later.

Xue Shenjun went and returned.

"How is it, did you find it?"

Lin Yuan looked at Xue Shenjun.

"Well, they are in the Great Wilderness Secret Realm."

Xue Shenjun nodded.

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned after hearing this: "Great Wilderness Secret Realm?"

"That's right."

Xue Shenyun nodded and said, "A few days ago, I secretly manipulated a disciple of Lingxiao Holy Land. Although he was only an outer disciple of low status, with the help of his vision, I can confirm that the place where Lingxiao Saint Lord is is the Great Wilderness Secret Realm."

"I understand."

Lin Yuan nodded after hearing this, "Then let's set off now."

...

Great Wilderness Secret Realm.

Lingxiao Saint Lord sat cross-legged above the big city.

With his body as the center, the surrounding spiritual energy gathered like a torrent and rushed into his body frantically.

This state has lasted for a whole day and night.

Almost 70% to 80% of the spiritual energy in the entire Great Wilderness Secret Realm was swept away by him.

At the beginning, hundreds of disciples of the Eastern Wilderness Saint Academy practiced hard in Taoyuan for three days, and the spiritual energy in the secret realm did not change at all.

And now.

Lingxiao Saint Lord almost took less than a day to almost sweep away the spiritual energy in the Great Wilderness Secret Realm.

"It's a pity that I didn't get the Great Wilderness Sword."

"Otherwise, with the secret method of my Lingxiao Holy Land and the residual soul of the Great Wilderness Supreme, the entire Great Wilderness Secret Realm would be refined by me for my own use."

A trace of regret flashed across the eyes of the Holy Lord Lingxiao.

He is now in the third level of the Holy Realm and is about to break through the bottleneck of the fourth level. The spiritual energy in the Great Wilderness Secret Realm is far more abundant than in other secret realms, so it naturally becomes the best place for the Holy Lord Lingxiao to break through.

At this time in the Great Wilderness Secret Realm.

The entire secret realm has been put under martial law by the people of Lingxiao Holy Land.

Countless warriors of Lingxiao Holy Land are on high alert.

Almost every corner of the secret realm is guarded by warriors of Lingxiao Holy Land. Outside the big city, there are twelve stone tablets standing deep underground, which seem to form some kind of mysterious formation.

It is precisely because of this formation that the Holy Lord Lingxiao can absorb the spiritual energy of the entire Great Wilderness Secret Realm at the same time.

At this time.

A corner of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm.

A piece of space was quietly torn apart, and then two figures appeared out of thin air in the secret realm.

These two people are Lin Yuan and Xue Shenjun.

Xue Shenjun did not bring anyone else with him.

After all, the Holy Lord Lingxiao is a holy realm. Even for her, it is not an easy task to avoid the other party's perception.

If you bring too many people, it will be easy for the Holy Lord Lingxiao to detect it.

"Lin Yuan, I have helped you cover up your aura."

Xue Shenjun reminded in a low voice.

"Yeah."

Lin Yuan nodded, and he looked around and soon saw several disciples of Lingxiao Holy Land.

These disciples were dressed in gorgeous and noble clothes, and their aura was extremely powerful. None of them was lower than the Dao Palace Realm.
