Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Wei Yunhang was already convinced that Lin Yun wanted to seize Celestial Eagle Valley’s Spirit Grass. The only thing left was to get Wei Yunhang to keep Lin Jianhong occupied.

Lin Yun couldn’t make a move right now, nor could he let Wei Yunhang discover his serious injuries. Therefore, Lin Jianhong had to be dealt with by Wei Yunhang.

Looking at Wei Yunhang, Lin Jianhong knew in his heart that if Taiqing Academy got involved, he would be no match for them. He immediately spoke up, "Wei Yunhang, stay out of this. Do me this favor, how about it?"

Even now, Lin Jianhong still thought Wei Yunhang would honor his request. Hearing this, Wei Yunhang smiled and replied, "Brother Lin Yun is my friend. Since my friend needs help, I can’t just stand by and watch. Lin Jianhong, you can only blame your own bad luck today."

After speaking, Wei Yunhang looked at Lin Yun. "Brother Lin Yun, I’ll lend you a hand today."

"Many thanks, Brother Wei. Our goal is only to take the Spirit Grass they’re carrying. Brother Wei just needs to hold up Lin Jianhong. That shouldn’t be too difficult, right?" Lin Yun replied.

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Wei Yunhang didn’t suspect a thing and nodded in agreement. Killing Lin Jianhong would be quite difficult, but just holding him back wasn’t a problem for Wei Yunhang.

In Wei Yunhang’s mind, Lin Yun’s plan was probably to quickly annihilate the Celestial Eagle Valley disciples, which coincided perfectly with his own intentions.

"Taiqing Academy disciples, annihilate the disciples of Celestial Eagle Valley! Kill!" Wei Yunhang roared. Perhaps to show his sincerity, Wei Yunhang was the first to make a move.

Seeing this, Lin Yun also shouted to the Flawless Palace disciples, "Kill!"

In an instant, the disciples of the two powers charged toward the Celestial Eagle Valley disciples. As for Lin Jianhong, he was completely tied down by Wei Yunhang.

Facing the combined assault of two great powers, the Celestial Eagle Valley disciples were naturally no match. Watching his disciples fall one by one, Lin Jianhong roared anxiously, "Wei Yunhang, are you really going to stand in my way today?"

"Lin Jianhong, if you stay obediently on the sidelines, I won’t attack. But if you want a fight, I can oblige you," Wei Yunhang replied coolly.

Blocked by Wei Yunhang, Lin Jianhong had no way to support the Celestial Eagle Valley disciples. His heart burned with rage, and he no longer held back, truly engaging Wei Yunhang in a fierce battle.

Lin Yun didn’t join the battle, only sending Little Ape to help. Since the outcome was already decided, there was no need for Lin Yun to personally intervene. Besides, given his current physical condition, he was in no shape to fight.

The battle was almost completely one-sided. Although Lin Jianhong attacked Wei Yunhang like a madman, he could never break through his blockade.

Fighting Lin Jianhong, Wei Yunhang had no intention of attacking; he only needed to hold him back. Even so, facing Lin Jianhong’s frenzied assault, Wei Yunhang still sustained some minor injuries.

At this moment, noticing that Lin Yun hadn’t joined the fray at all, a dark look appeared on Wei Yunhang’s face.

He didn’t consider that Lin Yun was severely injured. Instead, he thought he had likely been played by Lin Yun. But it was too late now. He was locked in battle with Lin Jianhong; if he were to retreat, not only would the Flawless Palace disciples suffer, but his own Taiqing Academy disciples would as well.

’This guy is not to be underestimated. He even managed to scheme against me,’ Wei Yunhang thought, annoyed.

The two sides clashed for no more than half an hour before every last disciple of Celestial Eagle Valley was slaughtered. Only then did Wei Yunhang pull away from Lin Jianhong and state coolly,

"Lin Jianhong, all your Celestial Eagle Valley disciples are dead. Do you still want to keep fighting?"

Hearing Wei Yunhang’s words, Lin Jianhong’s face turned grim. How could he have expected this? He had set an ambush to rob Flawless Palace, but then Wei Yunhang and Taiqing Academy had shown up out of nowhere, completely changing the outcome.

"Good, good, good. Wei Yunhang, I’ll remember what happened today. In the future, I’d better not run into any Taiqing Academy disciples, or I’ll kill every single one I see." Repeating "Good" three times, Lin Jianhong’s hatred for Wei Yunhang now surpassed his hatred for Lin Yun.

Without giving Wei Yunhang any chance to explain, Lin Jianhong flew directly toward the exit of the relics as soon as he finished speaking.

With Lin Jianhong gone, the two forces began to divide the Spirit Grass and valuables from the bodies of the Celestial Eagle Valley disciples. Landing beside Lin Yun, Wei Yunhang wore a strange smile and chuckled.

"Brother Lin Yun, you have my admiration. To think you even schemed against me."

Hearing Wei Yunhang’s words, Lin Yun smiled faintly and didn’t deny it. "Brother Wei, at least your Taiqing Academy obtained Celestial Eagle Valley’s wealth and Spirit Grass without any casualties. Isn’t that a good thing?"

"Haha, it is! Brother Lin Yun, we should get closer in the future. I really like people like you," Wei Yunhang laughed heartily and turned to leave.

After gathering their things, the group set off again. They were not far from the relics’ exit, and there were likely no more treasures left inside. Lin Yun’s party headed directly for the exit.

In just half a day, Lin Yun and his group arrived at the exit of the relics. Traveling with them, of course, were Wei Yunhang and the disciples of Taiqing Academy.

Just as they stepped out of the exit, Lin Yun saw the members of the Five Great Forces looking at him in surprise. Of course, the people from the Wuji Sect and Celestial Eagle Valley were filled with hatred.

Unlike those two forces, the four Supreme Elders of Flawless Palace were all smiling. When they saw Lin Yun and the others emerge, the four of them nodded in satisfaction.

"Lin Yun, you dared to kill hundreds of my Wuji Sect disciples! If we don’t execute you on the spot today, where will the Wuji Sect’s honor be?" But just then, a Supreme Elder from the Wuji Sect roared in fury.

"My Celestial Eagle Valley is willing to aid the Wuji Sect and eliminate this treacherous and cruel villain!" a Supreme Elder from Celestial Eagle Valley also bellowed.

Song Tianyang and Lin Jianhong had left the relics one step ahead of Lin Yun’s group. When the Supreme Elders of the Wuji Sect and Celestial Eagle Valley saw that only those two had emerged, they naturally had to ask what happened.

After questioning them, the Supreme Elders of the two great forces nearly coughed up blood from rage. Everyone else had died inside the Saint’s Relics; only Song Tianyang and Lin Jianhong had managed to escape.

And worst of all, it was all Flawless Palace’s doing.

Since when did Flawless Palace have the strength to annihilate everyone from two other great forces?

It was safe to say that in this expedition to the Saint’s Relics, the Wuji Sect and Celestial Eagle Valley had suffered disastrous losses. Their own disciples were dead, the disciples of their vassal forces were also killed—a sacrifice of several hundred people. And the most unacceptable part was that all the treasures and Spirit Grass they had obtained in the relics had been stolen by Flawless Palace.

Not only had they lost face, but they had also paid such a painful price. How could the Supreme Elders of the two great forces not be furious?
