Chapter 3

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the cultivators of the Lin family unleashed their spiritual energy one after another.

Such a display of power truly left the cultivators of the Zhou family in awe!

Whoosh---

Subsequently, figures directly charged towards the cultivators of the Zhou family. Those present were all core members of the Lin family, naturally possessing formidable strength.

How could the cultivators of the Zhou family possibly resist such spiritual energy?

Crack!

Then, a series of sounds echoed, and the right leg of every cultivator from the Zhou family was directly shattered by the spiritual energy.

Aaaah---

A series of miserable cries came from the mouths of the Zhou family cultivators.

At this moment, outside the Lin family's gate, many people had gathered.

Lin Yan had become a cripple, his fate unknown. Lin Nan, who was a peak Transcendent Realm expert, had been severely injured and had his legs crippled.

Now that the Zhou family had come to bully them, many people were watching, wanting to see if the Lin family could still stand up to them!

However, at this moment, many people heard these sounds and then saw the Lin family's cultivators unceremoniously throwing the Zhou family's cultivators out of the Lin family's compound!

Sigh~~~

Seeing the Zhou family's cultivators, who were covered in blood, many onlookers drew in a sharp breath.

"Lin---Lin Yan, you are now just a cripple, yet you dare to harm the people of the Zhou family. Aren't you afraid---" At this moment, a cultivator from the Zhou family shouted outside the Lin family's gate.

However, just as he finished speaking, everyone saw a young man walk out from within the Lin family.

This young man's face was extremely pale, but everyone recognized him as Lin Yan.

However, Lin Yan now held a long sword and suddenly struck down on the man.

The sword fell, and the man's breath ceased!

The Zhou family's cultivator was killed on the spot.

"Has anyone in the Lin family ever been afraid?" Lin Yan said.

These words were not only directed at the Zhou family's cultivators but also at the onlookers.

After speaking, Lin Yan turned and left.

"This---this is the genius from back then. Even though he is now a cripple, such a display of power is hard for anyone to match!" A middle-aged man in the crowd said.

"Unfortunately, I once measured his soul, and his talent for spiritual energy cultivation was unparalleled. However, his soul was extremely weak, making it impossible for him to become an alchemist or a talisman master. Now, with his pale complexion, he can only stand by sheer willpower. A once great genius will ultimately turn to dust and be forgotten!" The old man beside the middle-aged man said.

"Can even Master Feng do nothing about it?" The middle-aged man frowned, knowing that Feng Yuan was one of the top talisman masters in the Yunton Empire and was also proficient in alchemy, highly respected in the empire.

"Brother Yun, even I am powerless. Unless he has some extraordinary ability, his life will be like this! Your royal family's engagement proposal half a month ago was too hasty. Now, the princess will surely suffer!" Feng Yuan looked at the middle-aged man, knowing that he was a member of the royal family, the emperor Yunran's younger brother, Yunzhe.

"Since Lin Yan is now a cripple, our royal family will not do anything to disgrace our family. This engagement will not be recognized by anyone." Yunzhe said and then left.

Feng Yuan sighed slightly, the world is indeed cold and indifferent!

Inside the Lin family, Lin Jian looked at Lin Yan and the Lin family cultivators who had taken action and said, "Yan, this is a bit too impulsive, isn't it?"

"Grand Elder, they all came to bully us. There are many onlookers outside. If we don't act today, what will be left of the Lin family's dignity? We would become a laughingstock in the capital!" A Lin family cultivator said.

"Ah---" Lin Jian was also in a difficult position. His expression then turned serious, "Gather the young generation of the Lin family, open the Forbidden Courtyard, and let them enter for cultivation. Others, take turns to guard the Lin family to prevent the Zhou family from retaliating. Ruyun, help Yan back to rest!"

"Yes, Grand Elder!" Ruyun nodded and helped Lin Yan back to rest.

At this moment, anyone could see that Lin Yan's complexion was pale, and his body was swaying.

"This physical body is indeed too weak!" Lin Yan sighed inwardly, as this body had a meridian and a bone removed, and most of his blood had been drained. Lin Yan could stand here only by sheer willpower.

On the way, Ruyun looked at Lin Yan and said, "Young Master, will the Zhou family seek revenge?"

"Are you afraid?" Lin Yan asked.

"Ruyun has grown up in the Lin family and has served Young Master since childhood. If Young Master is not afraid, neither is Ruyun!" Ruyun said.

"Don't worry, the Zhou family won't make a move. Before the royal family's stance is clear, they won't dare to do anything to the Lin family." Lin Yan said.

"Even if they come, Grand Elder will have a plan. Our Lin family has a deep foundation!" Ruyun clenched his fist and then helped Lin Yan onto the bed to rest.

Ruyun then left.

"Forbidden Courtyard!" Lin Yan muttered on the bed. Even with Lin Yan's memories, he only knew that the Forbidden Courtyard of the Lin family was not opened except during special times, containing the Lin family's techniques, secret manuals, and martial arts. However, Lin Yan had never entered it before.

However, Lin Yan was not too concerned about this and immediately sat cross-legged.

The Zhou family and even the Xuanjing Sect, Lin Yan did not take them seriously at all!

He wanted to avenge Tianyu and prove his name.

However, with his current body, it was extremely difficult to cultivate to become an emperor. Fortunately, Lin Yan possessed the soul of an emperor, though only a trace of it remained. But this trace was enough for Lin Yan to cultivate talisman techniques and alchemy.

Buzz!

At this moment, Lin Yan's expression focused, and he entered a cultivation state, trying to activate his soul power!

In the cultivation world, not only is there spiritual energy cultivation, but there is also soul power cultivation. Talisman masters and alchemists cultivate soul power, and their levels are consistent with spiritual energy levels.

At this moment, a buzzing sound echoed, and a golden light was released in the room. Then, a book appeared in Lin Yan's mind!

"Heavenly Book!" Seeing the book, Lin Yan showed a look of joy.

Lin Yan entered the Heavenly Hall, comprehended the myriad principles of the universe, and became an emperor in a day!

However, Lin Yan knew that the most mysterious thing in the Heavenly Hall, which appeared once every ten thousand years and contained the ancient mysteries of the universe, was a floating Heavenly Book!

But when Lin Yan entered the Heavenly Hall, he only glanced once and found that the Heavenly Book had disappeared.

He never expected that the Heavenly Book was actually contained within his soul, and it had now appeared in his mind.

"The Heavenly Hall is a legend of ten thousand years, and it is rare for anyone to enter. Those who enter will surely become emperors! The Heavenly Book is said to contain the myriad principles of the universe, and those who obtain it will surely achieve immortality!" Lin Yan was deeply moved, as this ancient and unparalleled treasure had fallen into his hands.
