36: Chapter 36 Now, I will make the following arrangements.

These are no longer ordinary Yasha; I must strike with a heavy hand.

Lin Yuan lunged forward, executing a crushing blow that shattered the Yasha's head with a single punch.

The massive gap in stats between the two meant the opponent had no chance to react.

The moment he killed it, a shrill sound of a conch shell suddenly echoed from the village ahead. Woo—woo—

"Have I been discovered?" Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That is fine; it saves me the trouble of searching everywhere."

He made no attempt to conceal his movements, walking brazenly toward the Yasha village.

At the village entrance, over a hundred Yasha stood with steel forks, as orderly as an army. In front of them stood a much taller figure.

Its appearance looked no different from an ordinary Yasha, but it had a pair of bat wings on its back. It was actually a Flying Yaksha.

Although race Rank does not equate to cultivation, a Flying Yaksha is by no means weaker than a True Aperture Martial Artist.

"There is a Flying Yaksha in a place like this?" Lin Yuan looked slightly surprised.

This is not a large tribe; it is just a small village.

But whether it is an ordinary Yasha or a Flying Yaksha, the result is the same; nothing will change.

"Human..." The Flying Yaksha had only just started to speak when its expression suddenly changed.

Lin Yuan struck instantly, drawing his white snow blade. The blade light flashed, slashing over at high speed.

A sneak attack! This young man does not follow the martial ethics of Jianghu.

Lin Yuan sneered coldly. Why talk about Jianghu ethics with evil heretics like you?

His strike was fast and ruthless, slashing into the Flying Yaksha's wing and crippling its ability to fly.

The Flying Yaksha was fierce enough; upon being attacked, it did not think to retreat. Instead, it gripped its steel fork and thrust it directly at his chest. Then, it opened its mouth and let out a sharp cry—it was a rare sonic Martial Skill.

"Hmph! Mere gravel, not even a fraction of me!"

Lin Yuan did not dodge or evade, taking the hit head-on. Then, his blade struck like lightning, directly employing a Martial Skill: Soundless Blade!

The strike, which broke the sound barrier, instantly severed the Flying Yaksha's head. The remaining force did not diminish, cutting down two or three ordinary Yasha behind it.

"Kill him!" Such a bloody scene not only failed to make the remaining Yasha retreat but instead ignited the cruelty in their bones.

A large group of Yasha swarmed over, with steel forks coming from all directions!

"You seek death!" Lin Yuan snorted coldly, standing with his blade held horizontally, continuously pouring True Qi into the white snow blade.

Profound Rank superior Martial Skill, Flying Sky Shadow Slash!

The True Qi gathered into a single line and was slashed out with a roar.

The world seemed to be torn into two parts by it; the black-red blade aura annihilated everything.

Yasha, steel forks, boulders, mushrooms... wherever the blade aura passed, nothing survived, and the rift stretched for a thousand meters!

With this one strike, dozens to hundreds of Yasha were killed, and the few lucky ones left lay on the ground wailing.

Master Lin Yuan is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see such suffering in the world, so he could only tearfully send them on their way.

After dealing with the Yasha army, Lin Yuan entered the village to collect clues.

Not a single shadow of a Yasha could be seen on the empty streets; it seems the hundred or so Yasha from just now were the entirety of this village.

Lin Yuan opened boxes room by room but could not find a token or anything of value. Slowly, he arrived at the center of the village.

There was a rough altar here, displaying countless blood-red stones. In the middle of the stones was a demon statue standing five or six meters tall. The statue's shape was similar to the Yasha, but it had more beast-like features.

It not only carried wings on its back and wore scale armor, but also had a vertical eye between its brows, looking down upon the world.

Lin Yuan determined at a glance that this was a statue of an Asura. The most famous characteristic of this creature is the Eye of Destruction between its brows.

Legend says it can shoot out flames of destruction, igniting the sea of stars when the world collapses.

He fumbled around on the altar, not holding much expectation, but unexpectedly found a surprise.

Under the Asura statue was a hidden compartment containing a pure white bone fragment.

On the bone fragment were dense Yasha Clan characters, seemingly recording an incredible secret technique.

Although Lin Yuan did not understand Yasha Clan characters, the Liuyun Sect surely had information on this, so he collected the bone fragment and headed toward the next Yasha Clan stronghold.

... In the core area of the Underground Abyss, there was a hidden valley covered by layers of twisted mushrooms and huge stone pillars.

A bonfire crackled, its light reflecting off faces that did not look human.

There were all kinds of sturdy and thick buildings here; it was the royal court of the Yasha Clan in the Underground Abyss.

Whenever a major event occurred, the leaders of the seven major tribes of the Yasha Clan would gather here to discuss countermeasures.

Clearly, the arrival of Lin Yuan and his group was a major event.

"They have come again!" "Just like in the past, treating us like mindless beasts in the forest, killing at will."

"Damned humans, bullying us because our Clan's Holy Ancestor has yet to return, they are becoming increasingly excessive!"

"Fight them to the death, let them know that the Yasha Clan is not to be bullied!"

Looking at the agitated leaders of the various tribes below, the oldest, Chieftain Chiyan, tapped his staff and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, stay rational..."

"Rational? How can you ask me to be rational? The tribal people are being slaughtered; are we just going to watch with our own eyes?"

The hot-tempered leader of the Rage Tribe flipped the table and stood up, pointing at Chieftain Chiyan and cursing.

"I have figured it out now; every time we propose fighting to the death, you old thing jump out to stop us! What is your intention? Did you take bribes from the humans? Did you become a Yasha traitor? Are you planning to collude with the enemy and wipe out our branch of the clan?"

Several tribal leaders who were on good terms with him immediately joined in: "That is right, Chieftain Chiyan, your stance is very suspicious..."

Splat! Before they could finish speaking, Chieftain Chiyan suddenly made a move. The flesh of his right claw surged crazily, turning into a man-eating beast, and he bit off the head of the Rage Tribe leader in one gulp.

A terrifying gnawing sound immediately echoed in the valley.

"If I do not show my power, do you really take me for a sick cat?"

A cruel look appeared on Chieftain Chiyan's face. "Asura Phases..."

None of the Yasha leaders present failed to understand the weight of this move.

The leader of the Blood Axe Tribe, who had originally joined in, suddenly sat down.

"...Thinking about it carefully, Boss Chiyan has exhausted his efforts for the survival of our branch and has given too much. How could such a hero betray the Yasha Clan?"

"Exactly, why was this Rage so bad? I think he was the real Yasha traitor!"

"I suggest a thorough investigation!"

... Arrogant at first and humble later; thinking of it makes one laugh!

Chiyan looked at them calmly and said: "Of course I know your thoughts. Instead of being kept like livestock, it is better to fight to the death; at least let the humans know the backbone of our Yasha Clan. But what if I tell you that we are not without a way to survive?"

"What?" The leaders were shocked. It was not that they were pessimistic, but could there really be a way to survive?

Trapped in the Underground Abyss, the only exit is filled with a large number of vampire bats, and near the exit is a human Sect. No matter how you think about it, it is a dead end. Could it be?

Their eyes instantly became fiery.

Chieftain Chiyan's mouth curled up: "It is exactly as you think. After day and night of non-stop prayer, the great Holy Ancestor has finally responded to me!"

"Really?!!!" The leaders were overjoyed. As long as the Holy Ancestor's will descends, everything will be fine.

"But the Holy Ancestor's will is supreme, and the specific operations must still be carried out by us. Now, I make the following deployments: the Shadow Hoof Tribe's city shall move five thousand meters to the right..."
