Chapter 500 - 220: Lin Xiao and His Great-Grandfather! Han Laozu Strikes, Killing with a Flick, Gaining a Huge Surprise!_4

Han Li murmured softly to himself, his Divine Sense probing back and forth over the jade seal on Lin Xiao’s chest, unbeknownst to Lin Xiao or his grandfather.

Lin Xiao and the handsome youth were communicating through secret sound transmission; even though the handsome youth was deliberately concealing it, Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm wouldn’t hear the content without intentionally eavesdropping. However, to Han Li, this was akin to no defense at all.

His Divine Sense was extremely powerful, comparable to a Saint of the Fifth Heaven in the Saint Abyss Realm. Even when scattered casually, he could hear every word of their conversation clearly.

“The show starts now.”

Han Li noticed that Lin Xiao had caught up with the Tian Ya Sect’s marriage procession and immediately took a step forward, appearing silently above everyone’s heads in the firmament.

Below was the territory of the Yinyang Sect, with Lin Xiao blocking the way of the Great Elder, Lu Qingxuan, and others, exuding a momentum as if he would go forth even against thousands of foes.

“Sister Qingxuan, I’ve come to take you away. Are you willing to go with me?”

Lin Xiao’s handsome face was filled with anticipation, his fists clenched tightly as he awaited Lu Qingxuan’s response.

In his mind, the chances of Lu Qingxuan agreeing were high. As long as Lu Qingxuan agreed, he would take her away even if it cost him his life.

The marriage procession came to a halt.

Seeing Lin Xiao’s one-sided infatuation, the Great Elder and the Second Elder snickered, thinking Lin Xiao really dared to come.

“Qingxuan, just give him an answer so Lin Xiao can die with a clear understanding.”

The Great Elder had already locked Lin Xiao tightly with martial intent as he spoke to Lu Qingxuan.

The Second Elder glanced at the four Hollow Realm Elders, everyone making their preparations. Once they received the Great Elder’s command, they would strike with full force to suppress Lin Xiao, the traitor.

The breeze passed by, revealing a part of Lu Qingxuan’s exceptionally beautiful visage under the light veil, dimming the surrounding scenery.

Looking at Lin Xiao across from her, Lu Qingxuan said indifferently, “Junior Brother Lin, you shouldn’t have come. You know I have no feelings for you.”

“What kind of joke is this?”

Lin Xiao staggered, unable to help taking several steps back, his face filled with shock and unwillingness.

He was so outstanding. Why wouldn’t Lu Qingxuan choose him instead of becoming one of Han Li’s many wives?

Just because Han Li’s cultivation was higher than his?

Just because Han Li was more handsome?

Just because Han Li had more resources?

Just because Han Li was a reincarnated powerhouse?

….

“Pff~”

Lin Xiao suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, overwhelmed by rage and frustration.

He wished he hadn’t compared himself to Han Li, for the comparison revealed that, aside from potential, he was inferior in every way.

Lu Qingxuan watched unmoved, thinking that Lin Xiao had brought this upon himself. Surely she wasn’t required to agree to be his dao companion just because of his unrequited feelings.

The Great Elder secretly communicated to the other Elders, and the six of them seized the opportunity to quietly close in on Lin Xiao.

“Lin Xiao, don’t just stand there stunned. Run,” said the voice of the handsome youth from within the Jade Talisman, as he noticed this development, urgent in Lin Xiao’s mind.

Lin Xiao came back to his senses, gave Lu Qingxuan one last look, and then attempted to flee.

But the Great Elder, Second Elder, and the others would not let him escape. Before he could even react, they had already struck out at him.

Lin Xiao activated the Secret Technique bestowed by Brother Tiger, barely blocking the attack, but his body was sent tumbling away, vomiting several more mouthfuls of blood.

“Brother Tiger, I can’t hold on. You take over,” Lin Xiao said, prompting Brother Tiger to take control of his body and show his strength to escape.

“It should’ve been this way from the start.”

The handsome youth’s voice echoed in his mind, as he took over Lin Xiao’s body, his right hand turning into a claw and striking out at the Tian Ya Sect’s Elders.

In an instant, a colossal Demon Tiger tens of zhang in size condensed and launched an attack on the Tian Ya Sect’s Elders, clashing with their onslaught.

Seizing the chance, the handsome youth controlled Lin Xiao’s body, intending to escape directly.

Lin Xiao’s silhouette vanished from the original spot. The faces of the Tian Ya Sect’s Elders changed as they no longer sensed Lin Xiao’s presence — not this move again.

But the next moment, their faces lit up with surprise. Lin Xiao’s figure reappeared dozens of zhang away, blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth, clearly forced out of hiding.

Their first thought was that the patriarch of the Han Mansion had arrived; only Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm was capable of this feat.

In the next instant, they saw a figure in white robes emerging from the nine heavens, hands clasped behind his back, his demeanor graceful and calm, with a smile on his lips, looking down tranquilly at everything unfolding below.

It was as if an Immortal had descended to the mortal realm!

It was Han Li.

“We greet Patriarch Han!”

The Elders of Tian Ya Sect immediately called out with utmost respect.

The patriarch of the Han Mansion had actually come in person. This was a sign of high regard for Lu Qingxuan and Tian Ya Sect, and it also relieved them.

With Patriarch Han here, there was no escape for Lin Xiao—he was doomed today.

“What’s happening?”

The handsome youth, controlling Lin Xiao’s body, tried to escape but realized that an invisible barrier surrounded them, one he couldn’t pass through.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao was also panicking; if he couldn’t flee, it was all over for him.

“Brother Tiger, quick, think of something,” Lin Xiao urged frantically.

The handsome youth said nothing; he had heard the cries of the Tian Ya Sect’s Elders, his expression turning ugly as the worst scenario unfolded.

The patriarch of the Han Mansion, Han Li, had actually come in person!

They had considered this situation, but it seemed too improbable, especially since Han Li hadn’t even attended the marriage processions of Emperor Wu’s City and the Da Jing Empire.

The handsome youth took a deep breath and said to Lin Xiao, “Second brother, there’s no other choice now. I must use my last strength to take you away.”

“However, I’ll have to sleep for a while afterward, and you’ll be on your own. Don’t be reckless again in the future,” he continued.

Lin Xiao’s eyes immediately moistened as he hastily replied, “Don’t worry, Brother Tiger. I won’t ever behave like this again.”
