Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

"You'd better stay away from this crack. There are still remnants of his sword intent on it, and it's easy to get hurt."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qinlan, who had just been about to peek over the side, immediately stopped in her tracks, patting her chest with a look of lingering fear.

Dongfang Huaizhu, carrying her father on her back, looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground and sighed deeply.

Among these corpses were many figures she once knew, people she used to call uncles and elders, who were now reduced to cold corpses.

But these same people had previously plotted to seize their own bloodline.

Two conflicting emotions converged, leaving only a sigh to express the complex feelings within.

With the help of Tu Shan Ya Ya and others, the group quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

Aside from the magical artifacts destroyed in the battle.

In total, Lin Yu and his companions acquired over a hundred magical treasures, as well as various talismans and pills.

Looking at these dazzling magical treasures, Tu Shan Ya Ya, a money-grubber, was practically dazzled, just like a dragon that loves shiny things, wishing she could crawl inside and roll around.

For a moment, she even forgot about Feng Qi's existence, looking at these valuable magical treasures with great joy, constantly calculating their total value.

"You look so naive. If we're talking about value, all of this stuff combined isn't worth as much as a royal sword."

Lin Yu pointed at the Wangquan Sword, mocking Tu Shan Ya Ya for being ignorant.

"Tch, as if you don't know anything. But do you think just anyone can use the Wangquan Sword? If that were the case, what would be the point of the Wangquan family?"

Tu Shan Ya Ya said with a look of disdain, as if she was disgusted that Lin Yu didn't even know this basic common sense.

"is it?"

Hearing what Tu Shan Ya Ya said, Lin Yu became somewhat interested.

Does this mean that the Wangquan Sword also has a "master recognition" process, and only members of the Wangquan family can use it?

Or does it have some kind of characteristic, like Thor's hammer?

Lin Yu looked on curiously and picked up the Wangquan Sword.

The moment it was touched, the previously calm Wangquan Sword reacted.

This weapon seemed to have a life of its own, emitting soft hums and trembling in Lin Yu's hand, as if it were putting up some kind of resistance.

Lin Yu looked at the longsword in his hand with great interest and tentatively poured his inner strength into the Wangquan Sword.

Unfortunately, Wang Quanjian resolutely rejected the unfamiliar concept of internal energy.

Chapter 128 Smoke and Clouds Dissipate, the End of Everything

He tried not only internal energy, but also external qi, and it was equally useless.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu tossed the Wangquan Sword to Dongfang Huaizhu and asked her to give it a try.

Dongfang Huaizhu hurriedly took this most powerful magical artifact from humankind, tentatively infused it with magical power, and waved it around.

"Om."

A dazzling sword aura instantly erupted and shot off into the distance.

"Tsk, they've really stirred things up."

Lin Yu shook his head and said irritably.

This sword of kingship can only be activated with magic power, and it has almost no effect on him.

As for whether or not something possesses spirituality, that's utter nonsense.

Perhaps in a few hundred years, some magical artifacts may develop spirits due to technological advancements.

But the current Wangquan Sword, after being nurtured for so many years, has at most gained a bit of spiritual energy.

It's far from being able to choose its own users.

"As the strongest magic weapon of mankind, it would be problematic if someone who just destroyed the Dao Alliance could use it."

A sudden, chilling remark from Feng Qi drifted over, causing Lin Yu's face to darken.

"You're lying through your teeth. I only killed Jin Renfeng and Wang Quan Shouzhuo. You're the one who killed everyone else."

Jin Renfeng?

Upon hearing this name, Dongfang Huaizhu felt a surge of deep hatred.

However, upon learning that the guy who had almost ruined her family was dead, Dongfang Huaizhu looked at Lin Yu with some confusion.

I don't know why he would specifically kill Jin Renfeng in addition to Wang Quan Shouzhuo.

Noticing Dongfang Huaizhu's gaze, Lin Yu waved his hand.

"Don't overthink it. This guy has caused me so much trouble by leaking your information, so naturally I won't let him get away with it."

"If he hadn't come, that would have been fine, but since he did come and dared to show up in front of me, who else would die but him?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Huaizhu pursed her lips, put down her father, and pulled Dongfang Qinlan to Lin Yu's side, bowing deeply to him.

Without a word, everything was understood.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Yu and the others did not linger at Beishan.

The northern mountains of the Gobi Desert are desolate and barren, with sandstorms making it hard to stay any longer.

Carrying a large number of magical treasures, Lin Yu and the others flew into the sky and left this place.

Not long after Lin Yu and the others left, two thin figures appeared out of nowhere on the Gobi Desert.

Both figures looked rather thin. They walked silently across the devastated battlefield, gazing at the corpses on the ground that were gradually being covered by dust.

"Father, eldest brother, second brother..."

Words filled with deep-seated hatred rang out from behind one of them.

Li Muchen was wearing a hood, his eyes were red-rimmed, and his gaze was blank. His lost and dejected appearance made Xiao Tianhao feel an unbearable pang of heartache.

He wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't say a word.

All he could do was watch as Li Muchen muttered to himself, seemingly utterly defeated by grief.

"All the magical artifacts have been taken away. Luckily, we didn't come out earlier."

Xiao Tianhao's voice was somewhat hoarse, and as he walked through this land of corpses, his heart was equally heavy.

Li Muchen did not reply, but continued walking. Soon, she saw what she was looking for.

It was a head that died with its eyes wide open and its face full of anger.

The head was stained with blood, and there were several bloody holes on its face, which looked like marks left by fingers.

Li Muchen was neither afraid nor concerned about the blood. He knelt before the head, his hands trembling as he lifted it up and held it in his arms.

They continued onward until they found the mangled and bloodied corpses of Li Quzhuo and Li Zizai, which had been ravaged by the aftershocks.

Xiao Tianhao stood silently to the side, watching this scene.

He knew all too well the enormous impact today's events had had on Li Muchen.

The two older brothers died at Lin Yu's hands first.

When the Dao Alliance arrived, even her father and some familiar clansmen had perished.

All of this was completely different from what they had originally envisioned.

No one expected it to be such a one-sided battle. Even though they had a plan beforehand, the reality was devastating when it actually happened.

Even if they presented the results of their long-planned scheme, they were clearly no match for Lin Yu.

Just as Li Muchen and the others stood amidst the corpses, unable to extricate themselves from their grief and indignation, above the azure sky...

A figure shimmering with gold lay on its side in mid-air.

The Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom propped his cheek with his hand, watching with great interest what was happening on the ground.

"Interesting, really interesting."

"Martial arts, huh? That's quite a novel term."

As they spoke, the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom looked towards the direction of Tushan.

"Unfortunately, he is still too inexperienced and needs to be observed more closely."

Stretching lazily, the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom released a faint golden light from his body, flicked his finger, and instantly shot out, disappearing in the direction of Aolai Kingdom.

Having done all this, the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom vanished in a flash, disappearing into the direction of the Southern Kingdom.

. . . . . .

On the way back, Lin Yu and his group were finally able to walk openly in the town.

Although there will still be some ignorant cultivators who come to cause trouble because of the wanted poster, these are no longer a big deal.

When do you plan to deal with those powerful families?

In a small town restaurant, Feng Qi sat by the window, took a small sip of wine, frowned, and put the cup down with some disdain.

"Let's send them back first. Anyway, Tushan isn't that far away. At our current speed, it'll only take a day or two."
