Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 343 City Chaos
After entering Wudi City, the two began to inquire about the whereabouts of Lingyue Sword Immortal Feng Ning, intentionally or unintentionally.

After entering the city, whether they stay here or return to the ancient kingdom, they will inevitably leave a mark.

And the result... did not disappoint the two.

They soon learned that the disciple of the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor had entered the Feng family.

However, it doesn't seem to be about recognizing one's ancestors; the purpose remains unknown.

"Let's go to the Feng family."

Lin Jing and Gao Sheng exchanged a glance and headed straight for the Feng family.

Meanwhile, the Lei family, one of the eight great families of Wudi City.

A powerful aura surged into the sky, accompanied by an angry shout, but it was quickly suppressed by several other auras.

"Lei Qianren, what do you want to do?"

Several elderly men held down the middle-aged man whose hair was flying with the electric arcs, and spoke with a warning look on their faces.

"Lin Jing, who killed my son, has entered Martial Emperor City!!"

"The one who killed Lei Zhen was clearly a young man named Fire Dragon Alchemist, not the Holy Son of the Demon Court!" Several elders said solemnly.

The disheveled middle-aged man looked at them coldly: "Now that the other party himself has no intention of hiding his identity, are you still deceiving yourselves? That Fire Dragon Alchemist is none other than the Holy Son of the Demon Court, Lin Jing!"

“I know you don’t want to offend the Demon Court because of this.”

“As a member of the Lei clan, I should also prioritize the overall situation. Therefore, I did not cause trouble for that Demon Court Holy Son, whether he was in Qingzhou or the Western Desert. But now he is ignoring this grudge and running right under my nose. Do you still expect me to tolerate this?”

"Hmph, you're just a Nascent Soul cultivator. What can you do if you can't bear it? The protector of that Holy Son of the Demon Court is the ancestor of the Thunder Dragon Clan. Do you think you can harm even a hair on his head? You're courting death and dragging your family down with you!"

"That's my son, and also the pride of the Thunder Clan!!!" Lei Qianren roared, "Ever since the Holy Son of the Demon Court appeared in the Western Desert, I have been keeping a close eye on the area around Martial Emperor City. I can sense through lightning that the ancestor of the Thunder Dragon Clan is not here, and the spirit of Martial Emperor City will not allow a Void Profound Demon Ancestor to enter the city!"

"So this is my only chance."

He unleashed his magical power, repelling everyone.

"From this day forward, I, Lei Qianren, sever all ties with the Lei clan and withdraw from the family. My actions thereafter are no longer related to the family."

After saying that, he got up and left, and his real name disappeared from the family genealogy. Upon seeing this, the expressions of several elders changed, but just as they were about to stop him, a voice suddenly came to their ears.

"Let him be."

"Ancestor!!" Several elders looked in one direction in disbelief, not understanding why their ancestor Kongxuan would condone Lei Qianren's foolish behavior.

"It's all fate." The patriarch of the Lei clan sighed in his seclusion. Perhaps some cultivators would decisively abandon everything to save their lives when faced with a powerful threat, including family ties, but there are exceptions. The weight of Lei Qianren's son in his heart clearly surpasses everything.

Even if Lei Qianren were to retaliate for this, he would still be in the wrong...

The struggle for survival in the grotto is a matter of life and death in the hands of fate, but this principle only applies from the perspective of bystanders and does not apply to the relatives of the deceased.

“Since he has severed ties with his family, we don’t need to care about him. Whatever the outcome, if the Demon Court wants revenge, let them come. My Lei clan may not be a match for the Demon Court, but the alliance is still in effect. The City Lord’s Mansion and the other seven major families will not stand idly by.”

Back then, the City Lord's Mansion of Martial Emperor City and the nine forces of the Eight Great Families signed an alliance, promising that they would share both glory and ruin. If one ally suffered annihilation, the other had to provide full assistance; otherwise, their own fortune would be negatively impacted, and their bloodline would be doomed. It is precisely for this reason that, although the Eight Great Families of Martial Emperor City may occasionally decline, they will never be completely destroyed.

…………

Wudi City, Feng Family.

Lin Jing and Gao Sheng stood outside the Feng family's main residence, waiting.

Just now, they revealed their identities to the guards. Gao Sheng's identity was nothing special, but Lin Jing's identity made the guard tremble and run inside.

"Speaking of which, the famous Holy Son of the Demon Court only caused a stir after revealing his identity. Along the way, no one even noticed you!" Gao Sheng exclaimed in surprise.

"You forgot about illusions." Lin Jing smiled. In order to conserve his power, his clone's illusionary power was not strong, but it was still easy to prevent some low-level cultivators from bothering him.

"I see..." Gao Sheng was about to say something when Lin Jing suddenly narrowed his eyes. His pine rat clone, which had been dozing off on his shoulder and was practically invisible like a pendant, also opened its eyes instantly and jumped toward the bewildered Gao Sheng. In an instant, it used spatial teleportation to carry Gao Sheng on a spatial jump.

At the same time, a thunderclap ripped across the sky outside the Feng family's residence, followed by a thunderous sound that fell upon the city.

"Holy Son of the Demon Court, the hatred for killing your son is irreconcilable, regardless of the reason. Today, I, Lei Qianren, representing only myself, will take your life!!!"

boom! ! !
A lightning blade, embodying the combined power, mind, and will of a Nascent Soul cultivator, fell from the dark clouds, crushing towards the forest realm. The violent lightning directly sealed the forest realm within a lightning cage. Gao Sheng, who had been knocked away by the Pine Leaf Rat, stared wide-eyed and stretched out his hand in the distance... towards the lightning-shrouded forest realm.

When they entered the city earlier, Lin Jing mentioned that he had an enemy in Martial Emperor City. Gao Sheng hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but now, he never expected that this person would be so audacious as to directly attack and kill the Holy Son of the Demon Court!
You must understand, for the sake of the Holy Son of the Demon Court's prestige, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court personally went to annihilate a major sect with a Dao Seeking expert in charge. How dare you, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator of the Thunder Clan?!

"Don't worry about me, save him!!!" Gao Sheng didn't understand why, at this critical moment, the leaf rat wasn't taking Lin Jing with him to escape, but was instead concerned about him.

“Squeak…” The pine needle rat clone, which had been resting, curled its lip. What’s the big deal about a wooden hammer? It’s just a clone. It’s dead if it dies. A living clone is useful, but a dead clone also has value. In the future, it can extort a sum of money from the Lei clan.

And...at this very moment...

Although he was the one facing a "life-or-death crisis," Lin Jing looked at the lightning blade descending from the sky and still quite respected the owner of the lightning blade above the clouds. He didn't think the other party's actions were wrong.

However, despite acknowledging the situation, Lin Jing did not intend to let the other party off the hook afterward.

At the Burial Immortal Volcano, a powerful aura rose from Lin Jing's true form, instantly alarming the Thunder Dragon Ancestor who was guarding the area. However, in the next instant, Lin Jing's aura quietly dissipated.

Outside the Feng clan, as the lightning blade reached its limit and nearly crushed Lin Jing's illusory body, a terrifying Void Profound Power rose up from within the Feng family, seemingly determined to save Lin Jing from this attack.

It was not the Void Profound Ancestor of the Feng family, but a ghostly and divine power that moved countless cultivators in the city.

"You're courting death." Suddenly, a red-clad ghost bride appeared in the sky, instantly obliterating the massive lightning blade. Above the clouds, Lei Qianren was relieved to see that the Thunder Dragon Ancestor was indeed not there. But the next moment, a ghostly hand pierced through his chest. He stared blankly at the terrifying red-clad ghost, utterly incredulous.

“Void and mysterious ghosts.”

"Impossible! How could there be a Void Spirit within Martial Emperor City..."

In that instant, the series of changes in Martial Emperor City caused many cultivators to show horrified expressions... How could such a Void Profound Ghost appear in Martial Emperor City? Many cultivators realized that the spirit of Martial Emperor City was probably having problems at this moment, otherwise, it would never have allowed a Void Profound Ghost to enter the city.

"Wait, no, what are you doing here? Don't try to scam me."
