Chapter 831 Contracts and Breaking Alliances

Yue Hanzhang originally thought that Lin Laogui's power had reached this point, killing two Inner Realm Dao Lords of the same realm in just a few breaths, and his prestige was far-reaching.

When no one dared to say anything more in his presence.

But then, in the distance, another voice rang out, calm and serene, almost immediately after Old Ghost Lin finished speaking.

"Even without Brother Lin's words, the ironclad rules of both clans would still have to be followed."

"All the ancestors and kings of my Lei family have perished, but in this mortal world, there are still the proud descendants of my Lei family in Songzhou. The rise and fall of our family over hundreds and thousands of years is not due to the circumstances, but to the bloodline. Today, we have only fallen to the bottom."

"This may not be a bad thing. It is a new beginning from the very beginning. No matter what direction it develops in the future, it is moving upward."

"But young friend Yue has the blood of my Lei family's ancestors on his hands. Although there is the judgment of the Dao Alliance's laws, at our level, let's speak frankly and openly—"

Who exactly started this? Who is the mastermind?

"Is there any logic in the world to break the spearhead without destroying the real enemy?"

“Someone initially created discord within the aristocratic alliance, secretly forcing the Xiguan Wang family to rebel, and then bewitched us, the younger generation of aristocratic families, to be used as pawns.”

"Now they're even inciting the heads of various families to send messages to the outer star seas, which led to the Fu family brat breaking the ironclad rules and tricked the two Wang family brats into committing suicide!"

“Such a person is still alive, while my Lei family’s ancestors and kings died before him.”

"This ruling is unjust!"

"At the very least, this judgment reflects your selfish desire to further advance that so-called Daoist Alliance!"

Why am I being so clear about this today?

"Because they not only tried to use the Fu family brats as pawns, but also tried to make fools of us old folks!"

"Fortunately, Brother Lin has taken charge of things."

"Then let's settle this today and make it a real, written agreement."

"We've upheld the ironclad rules!"

"But from the moment our young friend Yue sets foot in the outer star sea, we will have to fight him! No matter what the reasons or causes are, we won't mention them before or after; they will all be in that battle!"

Upon hearing these words...

A half-smile suddenly appeared on Lin Laogui's face.

"I'm in charge..."

"You surnamed Lei, you haven't changed your wicked nature in a hundred or a thousand years. Are you trying to make this old man offend people?"

"I only concern myself with matters of ironclad rules."

"As for the rest, whether or not to arrange a duel, I have no say in that. You can discuss that with my friend Yue yourself."

As he spoke, even Old Ghost Lin turned around and looked at Yue Hanzhang.

Meeting Lin Laogui's gaze, and facing the distant sky, at this moment, wisps of steam rose up as if in response.

Yue Hanzhang faced the Inner Realm Dao Lord repeatedly today, yet his voice remained calm throughout his speech.

"All things in nature are different, and different people will have different perspectives on different things."

"That so-called injustice is just your perception."

"But it's not up to you to judge whether the sentence handed down to Yue is fair or unfair!"

"However, since you brought up the so-called spearhead and enemy, and said that everything today is also the same person behind the scenes stirring up trouble."

"That matter is much easier to handle."

"I might as well be frank: if that's the case, then there's no need for the stubborn aristocratic families to exist within the Dao Alliance."

"Remove all members from the prestigious families of Zhenzhou and reform the Zhenzhou Taoist Academy for Laozi!"

"There's no need for the Patrol Bureau to investigate."

"I believe what the Lei family patriarch said!"

"Any noble family that dares to resist will be punished with annihilation and extermination after all resistance is suppressed!"

"Breaking away the tradition of bloodline inheritance from a single family and clan, and instead relying on the flourishing of master-disciple relationships and the transmission of various paths, I, Yue, would like to ask the annals of history: what kind of selfish motives does this Daoist Academy Alliance have!"

"Did you understand, Dao Lord of the Lei family?"

Do you think Yue is afraid of threats from a few lonely old people like you?

"If you want to kill me, you'll have to stand in line with the old masters of the stubborn aristocratic families and compete for your place!"

"Those who can't contain their anger may break the ironclad rules again and come looking for me, Yue!"

"Those who don't have the guts, then wait until I've dealt with you good-for-nothing juniors before I deal with you!"

"I am only at the eighth level of the Outer Realm right now, and I haven't even condensed the eighth King Dao Aura yet."

"No matter how much you despise the Fu family patriarch by calling him 'child,' it doesn't change the fact that he is a Dao Lord of the Third Heaven of the Inner Realm."

He died by my hand!

"Wait until I reach the Ninth Heaven of the Outer Realm?"

"What if I reach the Inner Realm?"

"What if I also make a concerted effort and rush into the third level of the Inner Realm?"

"I don't care how many families you have or how many Dao Lords you have!"

"Those who want to die, come at me all at once!"

“From the time I started learning martial arts, the various sects and noble families have blocked my path!”

"Lao Tzu's path was paved with blood and fire."

"If such a battle were to truly occur, that would be wonderful. It would surely be the most vibrant and crimson chapter in my journey!"

At this moment, Yue Hanzhang once again became the center of the boundless starry sea.

Yes.

It is true that Lin Laogui possessed an irresistible power in the instant he killed two Inner Realm Dao Lords.

However, before he could cause any bloodshed, Yue Hanzhang had already stained his hands with the blood of a Dao Lord of the Third Heaven of the Inner Realm!
His power is now no less than that of Old Ghost Lin!

Being able to kill the patriarch of the Fu family means that at this moment, Yue Hanzhang, relying on his own combat strength, has become one of the most outstanding individuals in this boundless starry sea!
Of this small group, Yue Hanzhang was the most unique one.

Others have already reached the end of their path; all the creations of the Tao must be obtained from the passage of time.

Yue Hanzhang hadn't even reached the end of the first realm of the Outer Realm yet. Within the rigorous and accessible framework of Daoist arts, he still had a long, smooth path ahead of him, which was quite enviable. No wonder.

Upon hearing what the Lei family patriarch said, Old Ghost Lin immediately said that this was an offense.

The trap that the Lei family patriarch had just built for Yue Hanzhang with his words vanished in an instant. Even the arrogance he had displayed was crushed by Yue Hanzhang's few words!

After all, no amount of sweet talk will change anything.

But Yue Hanzhang's natural talent is undeniable!

then.

As Lin Laogui gazed into the distance with a half-smile, half-serious expression.

After a few breaths of silence.

The Lei family patriarch, lacking in imposing aura, let out a cold snort.

"The creation of hundreds and thousands of years..."

As they were talking, perhaps he suddenly remembered that the patriarch of the Fu family had said the same thing to Yue Hanzhang.

The Lei family patriarch immediately realized that his words were somewhat unlucky.

He quickly stopped talking.

When he finally spoke, his already weak momentum waned even further.

"In that case, let's consider it an agreement for our battle in the future, young friend Yue."

"Today's verbal sparring is nothing to worry about. We'll settle things once we've fought it out!"

As soon as the words were spoken.

Perhaps he knew that his response was somewhat undignified.

The bursts of energy that had been reflected in the distant sky all vanished from Yue Hanzhang's perception at that moment.

And in the same place.

Before leaving, Lin Laogui nodded slightly to Yue Hanzhang, as if apologizing for his unintentional slip of the tongue, "Whether he is alive or dead."

After all, without that sentence, there might not be the process of establishing a written contract today.

Meanwhile, Yue Hanzhang silently watched Lin Laogui's departing figure.

He never took the challenge to heart.

Instead, he was pondering the details of the aura of the jade cauldron he had just glimpsed from afar.

obviously.

In the past, when he performed magic in front of Old Ghost Lin, he had already taught Old Ghost Lin the key to dissipating the radiation energy level in the source of extraordinary power.

Old Ghost Lin is on the same path as himself, exploring the source of extraordinary power.

and.

They went further than I did!

Yue Hanzhang still had his own path of cultivation and various other matters to attend to.

Lin Laogui, standing outside the realm, facing countless wandering demons and fierce ghosts, could focus all his attention on this jade cauldron.

Unbeknownst to anyone, he had already unleashed a storm of collapses far exceeding Yue Hanzhang's expectations.

"There's probably only about 30% left..."

After a while.

After pondering for a while, Yue Hanzhang came to a rough conclusion before turning around and heading towards the Dao Alliance Starfield, becoming the last to leave this completely desolate borderland.
-
Swah——

After a while.

When Yue Hanzhang's figure suddenly appeared in the Dao Alliance's territory with a whooshing sound.

The shock he brought to all the ancestors and kings of the world today is still fermenting and brewing, plunging the entire star field into a kind of mental and emotional tremor and silence.

then.

Yue Hanzhang was not made to wait any longer.

When his gaze fell towards the direction of the Tao family in Xinghu, Yuzhou.

Almost instantly.

An unfamiliar young figure suddenly appeared in the sky above Star Lake Sacred Realm.

Although the figure was unfamiliar, it displayed the aura of a late-stage Outer Realm cultivator. Moreover, within the rising aura, there was even a wisp of bloody malevolent energy that Yue Hanzhang was extremely sensitive to.

Clearly, his long and bloody battles had deeply ingrained himself in his physique and aura, and it would be difficult to change in a short period of time.

These are descendants of the Tao family who "proved their way through killing" on ancient battlefields.

The two exchanged glances for a fleeting moment.

Even though the Lei family patriarch had not named anyone, it was still possible.

But everyone knows it.

Who exactly was he referring to?

From the moment when even a Dao Lord at the third level of the Inner Realm was forcefully killed by Yue Hanzhang.

The matters within the explored star field are now entirely up to Yue Hanzhang to decide!
This means that it's time to settle all the scores for what the Tao family head has done before!

then.

After that brief eye contact, the young man bowed deeply to Yue Hanzhang.

"This junior greets Senior King Lingye."

"My Tao family's former patriarch was drunk and unfortunately drank poisoned wine brewed by Dao Tu Zun Wang, another top poison master of my Tao family. By the time he discovered it, he had already perished."

"As the new head of the Tao family, I believe that the previous head of the family committed many perverse acts and committed heinous crimes that cannot be resolved by the life or death of one person alone."

"Therefore, I am willing to follow the example of my predecessors, represent the Xinghu Tao family, and take the initiative to join the Taoist Alliance. I am willing to contribute to the Lingye Wang Geding Stubborn Faction Family Alliance."

"I earnestly hope that King Lingye will take this opportunity to leniently punish the Tao family of Xinghu."
