Chapter 806: Lin Xuan's Plan

"never mind?"

Sima Rui's face was extremely ugly. The Sima family had cultivated three geniuses in this generation, and now all of them had died in the Tianyuan Secret Realm. This directly caused a gap in their Sima family's talent pool. How could Sima Rui let this go?

Xu Chusheng felt the same way. His Xu clan had been declining with each generation, and now that Xu Tuo, whom he had painstakingly raised, had died, he couldn't bear it.

As for Xu Jingyao, she was completely ignored.

"Yan Sheng, how could you utter such treasonous words? If old man Yan Gong were here, he would never have allowed you to do such a thing!"

Xu Chusheng stared intently at Yan Sheng, his anger causing him to lose his composure.

Yan Sheng shook his head slightly and was about to speak when a heat wave swept across the sky, followed by a fiery red figure descending from the heavens. The figure that landed was none other than Yan Gong, the ancestor of the Yan Clan.

Yan Gong's aura was even stronger than that of Sima Rui and Xu Chusheng. As the ancestor of the second-largest family in the world, he was indeed extraordinary.

"This is not Yan Sheng's idea, it is my idea."

Yan Gong's words stunned everyone present.

Sima Rui and Xu Chusheng were both stunned for a moment, and then their expressions turned extremely ugly.

It felt like I'd been tricked.

The Yan Clan initially tried desperately to win over the two families, promising them many benefits. But now, at this critical juncture, the Yan Clan actually wants to disregard them and push the two families out.

"Yan Gong, this doesn't sound like something you would say."

"Yan Gong, are you trying to draw a line between yourselves and our two ancient clans?"

Sima Rui and Xu Chusheng, two ancient monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years, could no longer hold back and were furious at Yan Gong's shamelessness.

Sima Yi and Xu Ling, the two ancient clan leaders, also looked grim. They had thought it was a united front of the three major clans, but they never expected that the Yan clan would be the first to abandon the alliance.

The other factions all looked on with amusement at this scene.

They never expected to witness internal strife within the ancient clan alliance.

The forces that followed these three major families also began to consider whether or not to draw a clear line between them.

"My two old friends, we have been cooperating for nearly ten thousand years. I want to remind you both not to repeat the mistakes of ten thousand years ago. It is not shameful for our Yan Clan to be a little more patient in order to preserve our lineage. As for you two old friends, I hope you will consider this carefully."

Yan Gong's words pierced Sima Rui and Xu Chusheng's hearts like sharp thorns.

"Yan Gong, I really misjudged you. You're really getting worse as you get older!"

"Forget it, Yan Gong. I've figured it out after today's events. Your Yan Clan is destined to be just like that for the rest of your lives."

"Yan Gong, do you think we can live in peace just because we don't fight? What a joke!"

Sima Rui and his companion understood perfectly well that the relationship between their two families and the Lin clan was now irreconcilable. To think that they could simply end the war and make peace was nothing but wishful thinking.

Furthermore, Sima Rui and his companion did not believe that their two ancient clans would lose to the Eastern Continent if they joined forces. At most, the Eastern Continent only had two powerful forces: Lan Zhantian and Lin Xuan.

However, the Xu clan and the Sima family, when united, have twenty True Immortal Realm experts, so they are unlikely to lose to the Eastern Continent's fighting strength.

"That's all I have to say. This time, our Yan Clan will not participate!"

Yan Gong spoke loudly enough for Lin Xuan and the others to hear.

Lin Xuan listened with a slight sense of curiosity.

Did the Yan Clan really put aside these hatreds?

It should be noted that the Yan Clan also suffered extremely heavy losses this time. The Yan Clan's prodigies, Yan Zhan and Yan Yan, were both killed by the Eastern Continent. In addition, hundreds of other Yan Clan prodigies were killed by the Eastern Continent!

This hatred was essentially irreconcilable, but the Yan Clan actually let it all go.

Not only was Lin Xuan completely bewildered, but even the other powerful members of the Yan Clan were somewhat confused.

It seems that Dongzhou has little chance of winning.

"Hahaha, very good, very good. Since that's the case, this time when we take over the Eastern Continent, all the spoils will belong to our two great families. Your Yan Clan can just watch from the sidelines!"

Xu Chusheng laughed in anger and said "good" three times in a row.

Yan Gong simply nodded slightly upon hearing this, "Alright, we will not participate in the entire process. From now on, our Yan Clan will only be spectators."

As soon as Yan Gong finished speaking, he immediately returned to the Yan Clan's camp.

Yan Sheng looked at his ancestor, wanting to ask something, but in the end, he swallowed the question.

Since their ancestor, the Yan Clan, took the throne, the Yan Clan has developed rapidly and efficiently, and has been able to shield itself from many dangers in a timely manner.

The Yan clan had great faith in Yan Gong, and Yan Sheng was no exception. Although he didn't understand what his ancestor was thinking, Yan Sheng still chose to believe him and stood silently beside Yan Gong without saying a word.

"Are you trying to ask me why I remained indifferent to this seemingly insurmountable situation, and why I even strained the relationship between the Sima family and the Xu family?"

Yan Gong stared straight ahead, but he could immediately guess Yan Sheng's thoughts.

Yan Sheng thought for a moment, then immediately nodded firmly.

“That’s right, Ancestor, Yan Sheng is just curious as to why you did this. If the Eastern Continent were to face the combined forces of our three ancient clans, they should have no chance of winning. But why did you…”

Yan Gong simply smiled when he heard Yan Sheng's question.

"You only see what's on the surface, but what about what's behind the scenes? What have you seen?"

Yan Sheng was slightly taken aback by Yan Gong's words, because Yan Gong's question was very pointed.

However, Yan Sheng remained somewhat stubborn.

“That shouldn’t be the case, Ancestor. If the Eastern Continent still had secrets, they should have been exposed long ago. Why did they have to wait until now to begin?”

"Because it wasn't necessary before, but if it really comes down to a life-or-death moment, the Lin family's trump card should be revealed."

Yan Gong's words clearly showed that Lin Xuan had a hidden trump card, and he was certain that the power of this trump card was extremely strong.

"Furthermore, from the very beginning, Lin Xuan has maintained a calm and composed demeanor, and he remains so even now. He is either a fool or he has enough confidence to resolve this situation. Compared to the first possibility, I am more inclined to the second one."

Yan Gong's explanation made Yan Sheng understand completely, but Yan Sheng still had a little bit of resentment and doubt.

"Ancestor, if the Xu clan and the Sima family really join forces this time to wipe out the Eastern Continent and obtain all its resources, what should we do?"

Yan Sheng's unwillingness was also the sentiment of other Yan clan members.

Yan Gong merely glanced at Yan Sheng beside him.

Yan Sheng immediately withdrew his last question after being looked at like that by his ancestor.

Seeing this somewhat dramatic scene, Huang Yunzhi did not step forward to stop it. Instead, he waved his hand to summon Gu Zhanxian of the ancient clan.

"Do you have any information on Lin Xuan of Dongzhou, or rather, information on all the people of Dongzhou? Give me a copy."

Gu Zhanxian immediately agreed and handed over all the information collected by the ancient clan to Huang Yunzhi.

All of this information was collected on a recording stone.

Huang Yunzhi held the recording stone in his hand, and all the information in the recording stone rushed into Huang Yunzhi's mind.

The first piece of information is about Lin Xuan. The information shows that he is at the Half-Immortal Realm, but he can fight to a draw with a mid-stage True Immortal Realm cultivator, or even suppress him.

Besides these, there are Lin Xuan's Dharma forms. Apart from the most well-known Nine Heavens Golden Thunder Dragon Dharma form, there is also the Demon Dharma form.

However, the ancient clans did not know which type of demon Lin Xuan's demonic avatar belonged to, so they could only describe some of the characteristics of this demonic avatar.

"This demonic form is quite interesting. Why does it resemble the legendary Asura? But wasn't the Asura race wiped out long ago...?"

Huang Yunzhi frowned slightly and continued reading the documents.

It includes all the supernatural abilities Lin Xuan has displayed so far, as well as the weapons he has used and the power of laws he has demonstrated. All of these are recorded in detail. It even records that Lin Xuan possesses a special physique, but this special physique is only a guess of the ancient clan.

Because Lin Xuan had a history of defeating opponents by greatly increasing his combat power.

Furthermore, when combat power increases significantly, there is no visible increase from martial arts techniques or foreign items; this can only be attributed to physical constitution.

Huang Yunzhi never expected that this person from the lower realm would have such an impressive stat, and he was even more surprised that this person was not even a hundred years old. Under such circumstances, this person is extremely valuable to cultivate.

After Lin Xuan, the next person to read about Lan Zhantian is Lan Zhantian. Lan Zhantian's information is equally impressive, especially the reasons for his past despondency, which are also written in his information.

"It seems that this Lan Zhantian has married a woman from the celestial realm."

Huang Yunzhi was quite knowledgeable. Although there were very few examples of celestial maidens from the upper realm going to the lower realm to marry people from the lower realm, not many in the entire Immortal Realm, it didn't mean it didn't happen. Occasionally, such a thing would occur.

However, in most cases after such an event, the fairy's family forcibly breaks the path to the fairy realm and then forcibly takes their daughter back.

Those with a modicum of kindness would simply take their daughters back, but those with a more ruthless nature would exterminate the person who defiled their daughter and their family.

Besides these, there is the most ruthless one, which is to destroy the entire lower realm.

This behavior is indeed too cruel, but in the eyes of many people in the Immortal Realm, the lower realm is nothing but ants and beasts, not even human. How can they be compared to them? Destroying a small world is as simple as killing a chicken.

"Hehe, marrying a woman from the immortal realm and still being alive is enough to show that he does have some luck. He is indeed very valuable to cultivate and can be taken back to the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect directly."

Huang Yunzhi smiled and continued reading, and saw that these young people from Dongzhou were all quite remarkable.

A sword cultivator who practices the Overlord Sword Path.

A young man possessing the true dragon elemental form.

A fire cultivator with 100% fire affinity.

A physical cultivator with an extraordinary physique.

……

They all have extremely high cultivation value.

So the Lin family really can't be wiped out by that so-called ancient clan, otherwise the loss would be huge.

At this moment, in the sky, Lin Xuan and Lan Zhantian were still confronting Sima Rui and Xu Chusheng.

“Your Eastern Continent killed my family members, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully, and your Eastern Continent must pay a bloody price!”

At Sima Rui's command, several powerful members of the Sima family gathered together, including Lin Xuan's 'old friends' Sima Benlei and Sima Tianri.

"All the Xu clan experts, come forth!"

At Xu Chusheng's command, all the powerful members of the Xu clan rushed to the scene.

The reason why the two did not attack Lin Xuan at first was that they were still waiting for their family's experts to come and provide support.

Sima Rui and Xu Chusheng are both seasoned veterans. Although they are very confident in their abilities and believe they can defeat Lan Zhantian and Lin Xuan, they are not confident in their abilities.

However, this time the two hoped to eradicate Dongzhou completely, and naturally did not want anyone to escape.

So the two of them managed to calm Lin Xuan and Lan Zhantian down, and then immediately brought out all their experts.

At this moment, the Sima family, including their ancestor Sima Rui and patriarch Sima Yi, had a total of ten True Immortal Realm experts, almost all of them had been mobilized.

Looking at the Xu clan's direction, there are also nine True Immortal Realm experts.

In this way, the two ancient clans together have a total of nineteen True Immortal Realm experts.

Compared to the experts from the Xu and Sima families, Lin Xuan's side was far inferior in both quantity and quality, and could not compare at all.

Seeing this, everyone felt that Dongzhou was in grave danger; the gap was simply too great, they were not even in the same league.

However, Lin Xuan remained calm and composed.

"Hehe, so, are all the people from both families here now? If they are, then we can begin, saving me the trouble of searching everywhere."

Lin Xuan's words stunned everyone present.

Even Sima Rui and Xu Chusheng were stunned.

The two of them were waiting for someone, and it seemed that Lin Xuan was also waiting for their people.

"This Lin Xuan is truly interesting. I'd like to see how he'll handle this situation."

Huang Yunzhi became interested in Lin Xuan. Although he was determined to protect Dongzhou this time, he was more interested in seeing how Lin Xuan would resolve the current crisis.

"Very well, it's been a long time since I've seen someone so arrogant. Lin Xuan, is it? I'll kill you and leave you with a whole corpse!"

Sima Rui took a step forward and arrived directly in front of Lin Xuan, then suddenly threw a punch at Lin Xuan.

The power of a punch from a late-stage True Immortal Realm cultivator should not be underestimated.

However, Lin Xuan remained calm and threw a punch as well.

"boom!"

The two separated.

Lin Xuan's lips curled up slightly as Zhan Cangtian's final trial card in the system was finally activated!
