Chapter 1319 Satisfactory Explanation

When Lin Huo saw that Zhou Yiqiao was actually planning to fight against a large number of people alone, a look of obvious contempt appeared on his face.

He sneered and was about to make a mockery, but was ignored by Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao's mind moved, and several innate ancient treasures were activated at the same time. The various colors of light reflected each other, directly changing the scenery of this world.

He did not dodge or evade, his Soul Binding Armor flashed with silver light, and an invisible wave enveloped his body, protecting Zhou Yiqiao tightly.

Although the protective shield continued to ripple under the attacks of Lin Huo and others, it remained as solid as a rock without any signs of cracking.

Under the protection of the Soul-Binding Armor, Zhou Yiqiao was like an undefeated god of war, calmly controlling the magic weapon and reaping the lives of his enemies.

The Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron was suspended in the air, emitting a powerful gravitational force. Several monks from the Yixiang Sect who were close to Zhou Yiqiao found themselves suddenly flying towards it uncontrollably!

The Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron was like a greedy giant beast. Before several Yixiang Sect monks could take any defensive measures, they were sucked into the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron the moment they came into contact with it, and transformed into a stream of pure energy, providing Zhou Yiqiao with a constant supply of spiritual energy support.

Under Zhou Yiqiao's control, the mouth of the purple gold gourd slowly opened, and streams of dark green poisonous mist gushed out of it, spreading rapidly towards the enemy like a living thing.

Wherever the poisonous fog passed, the grass and trees quickly withered and the rocks were corroded, showing extremely strong corrosiveness.

Although these plague poisons have not yet been fully upgraded like the Purple Gold Gourd, the capacity of the Purple Gold Gourd has been increased after the upgrade. Under the nourishment of the Andrographis paniculata, the power of the plague poison mist has also been greatly improved compared to before.

Upon seeing this, the monks of Yixiang Sect all showed horror on their faces, and used their body skills to dodge, trying to escape from this zone of death.

However, after the purple gold gourd was upgraded, it was able to change its position according to Zhou Yiqiao's will. The poisonous mist seemed to have spirituality. They twisted and circled in the air, as if controlled by an invisible hand, accurately tracking every Yixiang Sect monk who tried to escape.

Under the erosion of the plague fog, the monks' spiritual shields were like fragile paper, which collapsed at the slightest touch. Many people screamed miserably and staggered, and some even fell directly to the ground. Their skin began to fester and their vitality quickly faded away.

But this is not the end yet. The blood-drinking millstone is spinning in the air, and a bloody smell is spreading. Every time it rotates, it seems as if countless wronged souls are wailing.

The edge of the millstone was as sharp as a knife, flashing with cold light, and it automatically locked onto the Yixiang Sect monks who were weakened and slow in movement by the plague mist.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the Blood-Drinking Grindstone suddenly accelerated, turning into a bloody afterimage, instantly cutting through the bodies of several monks. Blood splattered, dyeing half of the sky red.

This millstone seemed to have its own will. It not only harvested lives, but also absorbed the essence and resentment in the blood, making it even more powerful.

When Lin Huo witnessed all this, his pupils suddenly shrank and he was filled with inexplicable horror.

He originally thought that Zhou Yiqiao was only relying on Lin Xiaotian's favor to occupy his weapon refining room and act arrogantly in the Lin family's territory.

However, at this moment, Lin Huo witnessed with his own eyes the amazing strength and unfathomable background displayed by Zhou Yiqiao, and the contempt and disdain in his heart instantly turned into deep fear.

He finally realized that the reason why the head of the family, Lin Xiaotian, took such good care of Zhou Yiqiao might be because the other party was someone that the Lin family needed to look up to.

Young Master Sun's face turned pale, he glared at Lin Huo with resentment, and began to regret his decision.

But it was too late. Zhou Yiqiao did not stop killing. His eyes were cold and resolute. He ignored the complicated looks of the two people and walked towards them step by step.

"No! It's none of my business. It's Lin Huo's idea!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Young Master Sun immediately pushed all the responsibility onto Lin Huo.

“You…you’re talking nonsense!”

Lin Huo's face was pale. He pointed at Young Master Sun and his voice trembled.

But Zhou Yiqiao seemed unaware. He slightly hooked his finger, and the flames and poisonous mist in the sky suddenly intertwined together, forming a doomsday scene around the two of them.

A moment later, except for Young Master Sun and Lin Huo, all other cultivators had fallen to the ground, their bodies corroded by the flames and poison, and no longer had any life.

Young Sect Master Sun and Lin Huo felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave when they saw the tragic scene in front of them, especially Young Sect Master Sun, who kept kowtowing to Zhou Yiqiao with a crying voice, completely forgetting his arrogant look just now.

"Zhou...Senior Zhou, I...we know we are wrong, please forgive me!"

"Yi Xiang Zong is willing to compensate Senior Zhou for all the losses. Senior Zhou, please be gracious and let me go as if I were a fart!"

Zhou Yiqiao looked at the two once invincible opponents coldly, without any ripples in his heart.

He slowly put away the magic weapon, allowing the flames and plague in the sky to gradually dissipate, but the invisible sense of oppression did not alleviate in the slightest.

Young Sect Leader Sun and Lin Huo were delighted, thinking that Zhou Yiqiao was finally willing to let them go, and they kowtowed to express their gratitude.

However, Zhou Yiqiao ignored the two of them, and turned his head with Li Mubai to look up at the sky and spoke to that side.

“Patriarch Lin, although this place has left Wangxianyuan, it is still under the control of the Lin family. Lin Huo is also a member of your Lin family. It is up to you to decide how to deal with it.”

Lin Xiaotian's figure slowly condensed in the void, with a smile on his face.

Zhou Yiqiao was able to leave the decision of the two people's life and death to himself, which was entirely out of consideration for the Lin family's face. Naturally, Lin Xiaotian would remember this favor.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou's methods really opened Lin's eyes."

There was some admiration in Lin Xiaotian's words. His gaze stayed on Zhou Yiqiao for a moment, then turned to Lin Huo and Young Master Sun, and his face instantly became gloomy.

"Lin Huo, as a member of my Lin family, you actually colluded with people from the outside sect and intended to harm our clan's distinguished guest, Daoist Zhou. Do you know your crime?"

Although Lin Xiaotian's voice was not loud, it was as cold as ice and made Lin Huo tremble all over.

Lin Huo's face turned pale. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Chief, I know I was wrong, please forgive me..."

Upon seeing this, Young Sect Leader Sun immediately knelt down in front of Lin Xiaotian and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Patriarch Lin, I was confused for a moment and was bewitched by Lin Huo. Please spare my life for the sake of the long-standing friendship between Yi Xiangzong and the Lin family!"

Lin Xiaotian didn't even look at Young Sect Master Sun, he stared at Lin Huo and said in a cold voice.

“Lin Huo, as a member of the Lin family, you should have put the family honor first, but you colluded with the outer sect and tried to harm the guests of my Lin family. This is extremely disrespectful and disloyal!”

"The family law does not allow you to quibble."

As he spoke, Lin Xiaotian gently waved his sleeves, and an invisible force lifted up Lin Huo, suspending him in mid-air, making him unable to move.

Lin Huo's face became even paler, and his eyes were full of despair and regret.

"Since you still have some regrets and haven't caused any serious harm, I will not execute you."

"But death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided."

"From now on, you will be confined to the Lin family, deprived of all family resources and status, and will forge magical instruments for the family for eternity. Do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, although Lin Huo felt unwilling, he knew that he was lucky to be alive, so he had no choice but to bow his head and plead guilty.

"Linhuo... no objection."

Lin Xiaotian nodded, then turned his gaze to Young Master Sun beside him, his tone cold and expressionless.

"As for you, Young Master Sun, you are not a member of our Lin family. What you did today has touched the bottom line of our Lin family."

"Although my Lin family and Ikamune have an old relationship, the rules cannot be broken."

"I, Lin Xiaotian, will not take your life directly, but I will abolish your cultivation and hand you over to the Yixiang Sect Elders Council. They will decide your final fate."

Upon hearing this, Young Sect Master Sun was struck by lightning. Having his cultivation abolished meant that he had fallen from a high and mighty sect master to an ordinary person, and might even face even more cruel treatment.

His eyes were wide open, his face full of disbelief, but he could only lower his head in despair and accept this cruel reality.

"Friend Zhou, are you satisfied with Lin's handling of this matter?"

Lin Xiaotian turned around and asked Zhou Yiqiao, his tone revealing a hint of respect and temptation.

"Patriarch Lin is fair and just, so Zhou is naturally satisfied."

If it were based on Zhou Yiqiao's personality, the two of them would naturally not be able to see tomorrow's sunrise.

But now he is within the Lin family's sphere of influence, and he has long-standing interests with them. Lin Xiaotian's ability to handle it this way has already given him enough face.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian showed a look of relief and gratitude on his face. He knew Zhou Yiqiao's strength and status very well, and it was rare for the other party to be so generous.

So he bowed slightly and spoke sincerely.

"Brother Zhou is so magnanimous. I am very grateful to him."

"What happened today is actually the fault of our Lin family's lax discipline. I'm sorry that Brother Zhou was frightened."

"In order to express my Lin family's apology and sincerity, I have decided to give 20% of all the profits from the Golden Toad to Daoist Zhou. I hope Daoist Zhou will accept it."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly, his eyes deep. He understood that this was not just material compensation, but also a kind of respect and goodwill from Lin Xiaotian.

But even so, he still waved his hand and refused.

“Since it was decided that all the proceeds from the Golden Treasure Toad, except for the Toad Spirit Jade, would be given to the Lin family, Zhou will definitely not break his promise.”

"It's just a small conflict. Zhou won't take it to heart. Patriarch Lin, don't worry. It won't affect our cooperation."

After he finished speaking, he didn't give Lin Xiaotian a chance to continue speaking. He nodded slightly to Li Mubai beside him, then turned and left.

Lin Xiaotian watched the two people disappear, shook his head helplessly, and suddenly raised his hand to slap the young master Sun's dantian, destroying the latter's spiritual sea.

Young Sect Master Sun's cultivation was completely wasted, and he turned to look at Lin Huo and said in a cold voice.

"Take him with you and let's go back to Xiancheng."
