A wooden pavilion was constructed on the rock garden, and on the other side of the cliff was a waterfall cascading down like a white dragon, splashing jade-like water beads across perfectly arranged rocks.

Chi Lingxiao, the clan leader of the Chi Clan, was sitting inside the wooden pavilion in a spotless white robe. He leisurely read the dao scripture in his hand, feeling content.

But Chi Cangmei, who was standing next to him, looked a little distracted.

“The Zuo and Qin Clans are impressive. They immediately dispatched several great Cyclic Derivation cultivators. Each one of them is a fierce character who has made a name for themselves years ago. Not a single one of them is ordinary. Based on that, it seems that Lin Xun has no hope of surviving,” Chi Cangmei murmured.

The news surprised her a little because she never thought that the Zuo and Qin Clans would be so ruthless.

Finally, she couldn’t help asking, “Father, why did the Zuo and Qin Clans mobilize so many people?”

Chi Lingxiao’s gaze never left the dao scripture in his hand as he casually answered, “They just want to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. They want to warn the world that the high clans mustn’t be insulted or provoked.”

Chi Cangmei nodded and fell silent.

As far as she knew, all the major clans and sects in the Forbidden City had dispatched spies to observe the storm.

Even the high clans including the Chi Clan, Song Clan, Hua Clan and Xie Clan were paying attention to everything.

After all, nothing similar had happened in the Forbidden City in many years. Naturally, it had attracted worldwide attention like a raging storm.

On one side was the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan, a deteriorating family inferior to even the lower aristocratic clans. Only Lin Xun of the Lin Clan had many splendid titles and achievements. He was known all over the world as a young genius.

On the other side were the powerful Zuo and Qin Clans. They were like behemoths that would never topple even in the wind and rain. Their forces spanned across the empire and their majesty was known throughout the world.

The conflict that had broken out between the two parties was like a tremendous earthquake shaking the Forbidden City. No one would be able to sit still.

“It’s a pity that the kid is too impatient. Given his foundation and potential, if he waited a few decades then he might have the power to compete with the high clans. But he overestimated his own ability and took action.”

In Chi Cangmei’s view, Lin Xun’s action was no different from throwing away his life.

“I used to think that he was a peerless figure who had appeared since ancient times who could shake the world, but now it seems he has too many obvious flaws. His flaw of recklessness can already cost him his life!”

Chi Cangmei stated her judgment of Lin Xun. His good points were obvious, but his flaws were fatal.

“According to the time, this storm should be over now.” Chi Lingxiao suddenly raised his head from the dao scripture.

“Father, what do you think the result will be?” Chi Cangmei asked hastily.

“Haha.” Chi Lingxiao chuckled. “Don’t you already have the answer in your heart? Girl, remember that the aristocratic clans mustn’t be insulted. Anyone who insults them will have to die.”

An indescribable surge of pity rose in Chi Cangmei’s heart.

She had always regarded Lin Xun as the most difficult opponent to deal with. Even her Chi Clan had dealt with Lin Xun in the past, but Lin Xun still managed to resolve the issue and survive.

Her younger brother Chi Cangfeng had almost died in Lin Xun’s hands during the empress’ birthday banquet!

So, she had always been thinking of ways to defeat Lin Xun, but she never imagined that her rival would die under the attacks of the Zuo and Qin Clans.

She couldn’t help but feel melancholic and a tinge of regret.

“It’s a pity. The empire finally managed to cultivate such a monster, but he is about to fall today...” Chi Cangmei sighed.

“You don’t understand. Many peerless monsters have been born since ancient times, but most of them died at a young age. They are like the shooting stars in the sky—splendid and dazzling but fleeting.” Chi Lingxiao chuckled. “In this great vast world, only our high clans can remain standing forever, surviving all wind and rain! You will soon understand that the so-called geniuses and heaven prides are nothing in front of the aristocratic clans.”

“Lingxiao, the patriarch has summoned you. Quickly come to the ancestral hall!”

The echoing of a deep voice startled Chi Lingxiao. “Patriarch has left closed-door cultivation? What matter could alarm him?”

“It’s related to the kid Lin Xun!”

Chi Lingxiao’s body stiffened and his eyes widened with bewilderment. Did that boy not die in the storm?

Without a single word, Chi Lingxiao hurried away with a flash.

Only Chi Cangmei continued to stand there, her beautiful face crossed with puzzlement. “Is it related to Lin Xun? But why would his life and death alarm the patriarch?”

The patriarch of the Chi Clan had been in closed-door cultivation for many years, but he had withdrawn from his cultivation and summoned the big shots of the clan to discuss Lin Xun.

“Miss—” Before long, a spy frantically appeared and stated hastily, “Miss, it’s not good! Lin Xun…isn’t dead!”

“What?”

Chi Cangmei froze. Didn’t he die? That means six Cyclic Derivation cultivators failed to kill him. Could it be that someone intervened and rescued him?

That must be it!

Otherwise, how could he survive given that he only possesses the strength of the Heaven Ascension Stage?

Chi Cangmei drew a deep breath and tried to calm herself down before she asked, “Who rescued him?”

The spy looked taken aback before he realized that Chi Cangmei had misunderstood. He quickly explained and recounted the incident in the Auspicious Sun Treasure Pavilion.

Chi Cangmei felt her head explode when she learned that Lin Xun had defeated Qin Xuandu, Zuo Baoying and other Cyclic Derivation cultivators with just a spear.

“He…he…how is he so strong?” Chi Cangmei cried out.

She knew that she had forgotten her manners, but she couldn’t care less about it now.

Thinking of Lin Xun's heaven-defying and savage feats, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable and her face clouded over.

“What? Qin Cangjia, the patriarch of the Qin Clan, also appeared?! This…” Chi Cangmei gasped.

Finally, she realized why the patriarch of the Chi Clan had become alarmed and the reason why her father had been summoned all of a sudden.

It turned out that a Life Death Stage King had appeared in the storm!

Unbelievable!

In recent years, nothing similar had happened in the Forbidden City.

Immediately, Chi Cangmei realized something and asked, “If Qin Cangjia took action, then doesn’t that mean Lin Xun is already dead?”

However, the spy shook his head in disappointment. “No, Qin Cangjia admitted defeat and left in a panic. Miss, even now I still don’t understand why Qin Cangjia would admit defeat after three Cyclic Derivation cultivators of the Qin Clan had been killed. Is he really a Life Death Stage King?”

“Admit defeat…” Chi Cangmei was completely dumbfounded. Who in the Forbidden City could have such terrifying power to make Qin Cangjia admit defeat and willingly leave?

She went still for a minute. The news was so unbelievable that she couldn’t accept it for a good while.

“Who did it?”

“The boss of Sky Martial Arena, Zhao Tailai.”

“Nonsense! That fat man is just a slick and sly character of the imperial family, so how can he have the ability to scare away a Life Death Stage King?”

“But... it’s true! Besides me, all the other spies who were present also saw it with their own eyes. I won’t be mistaken. It seems that Zhao Tailai has another identity.”

“What is it?”

“Blood Kill King!”

Chi Cangmei looked the most perplexed she had been since this conversation started. The name was very unfamiliar to her, and she had never heard of it before.

However, her intuition told her that the Blood Kill King was a terrifying existence, and his appearance had alarmed the patriarch of her clan!

“Lin Xun…is it really impossible to kill him?” she murmured as complex emotions swirled in her heart.

“Father is wrong. That guy is not a fleeting shooting star, nor is he reckless. It turns out that he has support from the start!”

A strong surge of bitterness rose in Chi Cangmei’s heart. Lin Xun! What kind of person are you?

On the same day, the senior members of the Chi Clan gathered together and came to a decision. Going forward, they must not interfere in any matters related to Lin Xun!

Chi Cangmei fell into a daze when she heard the announcement. Since even her own clan had made such a decision, no one would be able to suppress Lin Xun from rising in the empire in the future!

……

Just as Chi Cangmei had guessed, the Hua Clan, Song Clan, Xie Clan and the other high clans all held an emergency meeting and made a similar decision as the Chi Clan!

They had decided to never provoke Lin Xun, but also to not be afraid of him!

It was tantamount to covertly acknowledging Lin Xun’s status in the Forbidden City.

The other clans and sects in the Forbidden City were also in disbelief when they heard all the news.

They were shocked by Lin Xun’s heaven-defying strength and also the Blood Kill King’s ability to scare Qin Cangjia away with one sentence.

“From now on, who in the Forbidden City will dare to provoke the Lin Clan of the Mind Cleansing Peak?”

“Lin Xun alone is comparable to an aristocratic clan! As long as he is around, the Lin Clan will undoubtedly rise to become one of the high clans again!”

“Even though I have lived in the Forbidden City for many years, I have never seen someone as amazing as Lin Xun!”

That day, the Forbidden City was completely thrown into an uproar. All sorts of news swept the various clans like a monstrous wave.

In the central area of the Forbidden City, the giant rune transmission light screen broadcasted the battle that stirred the capital.

Moreover, as the news was broadcasted, a senior Cyclic Derivation cultivator was specially invited to provide commentary.

However, the invited guest seemed too excited and nervous. After holding back for a long time, his face reddened and he exclaimed a sentence, “The Young Master is unrivaled, his brilliance fills the capital!”
