118: Search Mountain

The middle-aged Cultivator was engulfed in flames, his body burning with desire...

This terrifying Nanming Li Fire, the most potent Yang flame in the world, was not something a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator could easily extinguish.

It would have been fine if he hadn't touched it, but now his body was already ignited by the flames.

Within a few breaths, he was reduced to ashes.

Even his Storage Pouch, hanging at his waist, was not spared.

This scene was naturally witnessed by the other Inner Sect Disciples of Qinglan Sect; they were all shocked to see their Senior Brother burned to death by the flames.

The cultivation of the other few people was inferior to that of this middle-aged Cultivator; if their Senior Brother was like this, it would be even harder for them to withstand the power of this flame.

A young Cultivator shouted, "Everyone, let's kill this young lad first! He's only at the Qi Refinement Stage, so he probably can't unleash such powerful flames continuously."

Want to strike first?

Lin Yongmao raised an eyebrow, seeing that many Cultivators were already forming hand seals, looking as if they were about to cast Spells.

As for those Cultivators skilled in close combat, they were also wary of Lin Yongmao's flames and did not rush to attack, instead casting a few minor Spells.

Several Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators working together still posed a relatively large threat to him.

Lin Yongmao first consecutively threw out several Second-Order defensive Talismans to block the Spell attacks, while his other hand had already opened a small Jade Slip, where a Talisman paper lay.

Talisman Treasure: Qingyuan Sword

There was more than one Qingyuan Sword Talisman Treasure; Lin Yongmao had given one to his father, Lin Yucheng, and he still had two in his possession.

A large amount of Spiritual Qi was instantly injected into the Talisman, and a green Flying Sword slowly emerged.

This was Lin Yongmao's second time using the Talisman Treasure, and the activation process was seamless.

The first time he used it, Lin Yongmao was only at the Qi Refinement Stage. If he hadn't temporarily consumed a thousand-year purple jade fruit, he might not have had enough Spiritual Qi to power the Talisman Treasure.

But now that his cultivation had reached the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, he had enough Spiritual Qi to activate and control the Talisman Treasure.

The Qingyuan Sword officially manifested, the Lin family Old Ancestor's Lifebound Treasure reappeared, and a beam of green light shot straight into the sky.

The Lin Family's Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators immediately noticed this green light and instantly knew that something unusual had happened in Cloud Mist Mountain.

Lin Yuheng and Lin Yumo happened to be in one place, and seeing this, they quickly headed towards the source of the soaring green light.

"This is... the direction Lin Yulian is in. Let's hurry over."

Under Lin Yongmao's control, the Qingyuan Sword erupted with a powerful aura. The Qinglan Sect Cultivators, seeing that it was a Talisman Treasure attacking them, all wanted to retreat.

Lin Yongmao would not give them this chance. Those who dare to offend the Lin Family shall die!

Relying solely on the Talisman Treasure Qingyuan Sword might not be enough to kill all these Qinglan Sect Disciples, but Lin Yongmao had far more methods at his disposal.

Sword Shadow Dividing Light Art

The Qingyuan Sword began to multiply from one to two, from two to four, and from four to eight.

Eight Qingyuan Swords each targeted a Cultivator, and how could this group of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators be a match for a Talisman Treasure?

The Qingyuan Sword killed all the Qinglan Sect Inner Sect Disciples present.

Before inspecting the bodies, Lin Yongmao first looked at Lin Yulian.

"Aunt, it's alright now."

Lin Yulian's body was still slightly trembling; she was quite shocked by the scene before her.

In her impression, Lin Yongmao was still just a little kid, so how could he have both advanced to a First-Order Spiritual Planter recently and now displayed such powerful combat strength?

Only after Lin Yongmao's reminder did Lin Yulian come back to her senses.

Lin Yulian suddenly thought that the same situation might be occurring in other parts of Cloud Mist Mountain, so she quickly said,

"Oh no! Yongmao, we must quickly inform your Second Uncle and the others."

Lin Yumo and Lin Yucheng arrived together.

"No need, we are already here," Lin Yumo said.

"Second Brother, Fourth Brother."

"Father, Second Uncle."

Lin Yulian and Lin Yongmao quickly called out.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Lin Yumo said, "This must be Qinglan Sect's retaliation against our Lin Family. We must quickly stop the Qinglan Sect Cultivators from destroying the spirit plants and harming our Lin Family members."

Lin Yucheng said, "Lin Yulian, retreat back into the Formation. Second Brother and Yongmao, let's go together and kill these damned Qinglan Sect Cultivators."

At first, Lin Yumo was still somewhat hesitant, but hearing Lin Yucheng's decisive words, his blood also began to boil.

Their Lin Family had been suppressed too severely by the Qinglan Sect these past years.

Especially Lin Yumo, who had suffered greatly from it.

He had originally broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, but he could only conceal his cultivation, pretending to be a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator who had failed to break through, which made him feel very frustrated.

Now, in this situation, he had to take decisive action.

"Good, those who trespass into my Lin Family's Cloud Mist Mountain shall be killed!"

Lin Yucheng, Lin Yumo, and Lin Yongmao formed a small team and began to hunt down the Qinglan Sect Cultivators who had intruded into the Lin Family's Cloud Mist Mountain territory.

All three of them were Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, and their combat strength was extremely impressive, belonging to the strong among Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

Lin Yongmao did not continue to use the Talisman Treasure; he simply used the leaves of the sword soul grass as Flying Swords and then cast the Sword Shadow Dividing Light Art to kill enemies.

Ordinary Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators were basically instantly killed.

Lin Yumo showed a relieved smile and said, "Yongmao, I didn't expect you to be so strong. Second Uncle might not even be your match."

Lin Yongmao quickly said, "Second Uncle, you flatter me. I merely learned a secret art from my great-grandfather."

Lin Yongmao did not lie; this Sword Shadow Dividing Light Art was indeed a secret art Jade Slip found in his great-grandfather'sLegacy Storage Pouch.

However, these leaf Flying Swords were not part of that category.

While killing the Qinglan Sect Cultivators, Lin Yongmao also encountered several severely injured Lin Family members.

Xuanyin True Water

This type of water has healing properties. Lin Yongmao disguised it as a Second-Order Spell to heal his clansmen.

He already possessed a water-attribute Spiritual Root, so learning water-attribute healing Spells was also very reasonable.

Cloud Mist Mountain covers a very large area, and a complete cleanup would take a long time.

On the way, the trio coincidentally met Lin Yuheng returning from Yang City.

"Big Brother." x2

"First Uncle."

Lin Yuheng saw that Cloud Mist Mountain was currently enveloped in a faint haze of smoke and quickly asked, "What happened?"

Lin Yumo said, "Qinglan Sect deliberately retaliated, harming many of our clansmen and destroying many spirit plants."

Lin Yuheng's face turned extremely grim, and he said, "Qinglan Sect actually has such a mindset. Kill all the Qinglan Sect Cultivators who intruded into Cloud Mist Mountain."

Lin Yucheng said, "We have already killed several groups. Now we are checking if there are any remaining."

"Good. Second Brother, you go check on the injuries and deaths of the clansmen, as well as the extent of damage to the spirit plants. Fourth Brother, Yongmao, and I will continue to search for Qinglan Sect Cultivators."

Lin Yuheng immediately assigned tasks, his eyes turning red due to the deaths of some of his clansmen.

This group of Qinglan Sect Cultivators showed no demeanor of experts; they harmed many Qi Refinement Stage Lin Family members.
