Chapter 38: A Thunderclap on a Clear Day (Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks)

  The tree falls, and the monkeys scatter!

  Wei Bu Ping fell down, and the last bit of faith in the hearts of all his trusted disciples collapsed instantly.

  Lin Xi gave a cold hum and withdrew his gaze.

  He didn't go after the Five Thunder Sect disciples to kill them. Although he himself didn't mind killing them, the part of his soul that was once the Young Master of the Five Thunder Sect wasn't willing to create more karma. In comparison, dealing with Wei Wuping, this enemy, seemed more important.

  Dada!

  Lin Xi slowly walked over, thirty feet away under a large tree, Wei Bu Ping lay in the dry leaves, unable to move. Lin Xi's blow had taken away all his strength to resist, and he couldn't even run away.

  "Wei Bu Ping, you didn't think it would come to this today, did you?!"

  Lin Xi stood tall, looking down at Wei Bu Ping. With one step, he ruthlessly trampled Wei Bu Ping into the mud, dry branches and withered leaves covering his face.

  What is a winner?

  Lin Xi's current attitude is that of a winner. After enduring humiliation on the Five Thunder Mountain for so long, being cursed as a beast and an abomination, swallowing all the resentment, it was all for this moment.

  Cough! Cough!

  Wei's mouth was bleeding from the corner, and he had a violent cough. His eyes, staring at Lin Xi, were full of terror.

  When Lin Xi similarly used Wind Thunder Palm and thoroughly defeated him at that time, the previously high-and-mighty Wei Elder was also thoroughly knocked down.

  "Wait a minute, Lin Xi! I'm an elder and a meritorious figure of the Five Thunder Sect. You can't kill me! A disciple can't kill an elder..."

  Wei's face turned pale, his lips trembling, and he completely lost his previous tough demeanor.

  He felt it, the murderous intent emanating from Lin Xi's body. He was going to kill him.

  "Can't a disciple kill an elder?"

  Lin Xi coldly smiled and suddenly slapped Wei Bu Ping's face, causing half of his cheek to swell up instantly.

  "Wei Bu Ping, didn't you scold me as a bastard at first? Didn't you say that neither my dad nor I are decent people? Scold! Why don't you continue to scold? What's the point of begging for mercy?"

  Wei's face turned pale, but he kept making excuses nonstop:

  "Lin Xi, I'm getting old and muddled. I was tempted by Meng Jun and lost my head? Lin Xi, you grew up in front of me, have you forgotten that when you were young, you used to call me uncle? Uncle really made a mistake, can't you forgive me? I know I've committed a great error, hand me over to the Council of Elders, and let them decide my fate. This way, your hands won't be sullied either."

  "Hehe."

  Lin Xi shook her head, hearing Wei Bu Ping's two completely different speeches before and after, she felt a huge sense of irony in her heart.

  "Wei Bu Ping, you really are capable. Now that death is imminent, you're playing the family card. When you were on the mountain and wanted to kill me, why didn't you think about how I used to call you uncle when I was young? When you colluded with Meng Jun and Lie Yang Zong, why didn't you think about how my grandfather treated you? Now that death is imminent, you suddenly remember."

  Lin Xi coldly smiled. If he was still the former young master of the Five Thunder Sect, perhaps he would have been moved. However, unfortunately, he wasn't. Wei Bu Ping had calculated his chances and wanted to hand him over to the Elder Council.

  However, four of the six great elders of the Wu Lei Sect were on the same wavelength as Wei Bu Ping and Meng Jun. Handing Wei Bu Ping over to the Elder Council would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains.

  Wei Bu Ping was being treated like a child and deceived.

  "Wei Bu Ping, you can rest assured on your way. Since you are an elder, I will burn a few sticks of incense for you."

  Lin Xi calmly and directly sentenced Wei Bu Ping's fate.

  "You!"

  Wei Bu Ping's eyes suddenly widened. However, the next moment, his body straightened up, and his hands flashed like lightning towards Lin Xi's leg bones, unexpectedly accumulating enough power in secret, and suddenly launching a surprise attack at this moment.

  "Hmm!"

  A cold snort, like thunder exploding in Wei Bu Ping's ear. Wei Bu Ping's final resistance was, in Lin Xi's eyes, not worth mentioning. He simply pressed down on Wei Bu Ping's body with his right leg, and immediately crushed Wei Bu Ping's counterattack.

  "Ah! ——"

  Wei Bu Ping suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body like a toad, deeply nailed into the ground. He was originally severely injured, and after Lin Xi's kick, he directly entered a state of critical condition.

  However, for some reason, a red glow surged up on Wei Ping's face, and he looked as if he hadn't been injured at all.

  "Reflecting light and shining back."

  Lin Xi suddenly realized that Wei Ping should be almost dead. When this last breath is exhausted, it will be the time of his death.

  "Damn it! Don't be too happy too early!"

  Wei's face suddenly appeared a strange excitement, as if it was going to die, and the beast counterattacked with one blow.

  "Do you think you've won? Haha, you're wrong! --- Not bad, I'm going to die today, but even if I die, your aunt will be buried with me!"

  Rumble!

  A bolt from the blue!

  Lin Xi was shocked pale, his face bloodless, his feet floating, and he retreated several steps in a panic.

  "Auntie's in trouble!......"

  It was like a thunderbolt, and Lin Xi was instantly stunned by the news. All he could hear was Wei Bu Ping continuing to speak:

  "...your aunt and you exchanged secret letters, thinking we didn't know. We planned accordingly, three months later, we sent someone to tell your aunt that you had an accident in the Beast Mountain Range. She was so anxious that she couldn't sit still for a moment, hastily rushing down the mountain. Heh heh, unfortunately, she didn't expect that before she even arrived at the Beast Mountain Range, she ran into us halfway."

  Wei's mouth was spewing blood in large mouthfuls, his breathing getting heavier and heavier, but the expression on his face was becoming increasingly excited.

  "Haha, Lin Xi, you lost your mother at a young age, and your father when you were seventeen. Now that Lin Ruyun is dead, you've lost the last of your relatives and become a complete orphan! The world may be vast, but there's no longer anyone related to you, nor any place for you to call home! Hahahaha..."

  The laughter stopped abruptly, and then there was complete silence.

  "Old rascal, what have you done with my aunt?!"

  Lin Xi's body trembled with fear, the more he listened, the colder his heart became. He suddenly grabbed Wei Bu Ping and let out a stern roar. However, Wei Bu Ping's expression was stiff, he had already died.

  "Ah! You old scoundrel, you're not worth dying for!"

  Lin Xi let out a thunderous roar, his five fingers clenched into a fist, and with a loud crack, he snapped Wei Bu Ping's neck. At the same time, he unleashed his internal power, causing a loud crash, and shattered Wei Bu Ping's body into pieces.

  Wei Bu Ping's dying words were a bolt from the blue to Lin Xi. Never had he felt so anxious and flustered as he did now.

  Lin Xi had never felt such deep emotions for anyone before, not even his own biological parents.

  For this only aunt, Lin Xi had deep affection and feelings.

  At first, Lin Xi's soul came from another world. In this world, the first relative he met was his aunt, Lin Ruyun.

  Lin Xi still remembered the Elder Council, Meng Jun's move against himself, and his aunt's furious expression, "Rather be shattered jade than intact tile"; also remembered in the grand hall, when the situation was once unfavorable, his aunt Lin Ruyun's anxious, worried, and uneasy look; as well as his own heartfelt joy when defeating Meng Shi and Wang Yuehe.

  In this aunt, Lin Xi felt a real sense of kinship. The kind of feeling that makes one happy and sad for her sake.

  There is no doubt that Lin Ruyun regarded him as her own, treating him like a close relative. And after the Elder Council that day, Lin Xi also acknowledged him from the bottom of his heart, taking her as his own elder aunt.

  Some people, even after spending several years together, you still can't treat them as family; while others, even if only spent a few days together, you will regard her as the closest of kin.

  There is no doubt that for Lin Xi, Lin Ruyun was such a person.

  For Lin Xi, his time in this world may not be long. But Auntie Lin Ruyun has left a deep impression on his memory, becoming the person closest to him and his only relative in this world!

  "Men Jun! If anything happens to my aunt, I'll have you buried with her!"

  Lin suddenly raised his head and let out a shocking long whistle. The mournful sound rolled and echoed, coming from all directions.

  His body was surrounded by a wave of murderous aura, like a tidal wave, shocking and terrifying at first sight.

  Bang!

  A burst of air exploded, and Lin Xi vanished in an instant.

  Outside the mountains of ferocious beasts, on the official road, a post station stands tall. Built with bricks and stones, covered with blue jade tiles, four or five horse-drawn carriages are parked beside it. Several coachmen are chatting idly.

  This is a carriage route, specializing in the business of the Ferocious Beast Mountains.

  Every year, many sects enter the Beast Mountain Range, and relatively speaking, there are also many lone warriors. These horse-drawn carriages do business with these lone warriors. Of course, relatively speaking, they charge much higher prices than ordinary horse-drawn carriages.

  "Set off immediately, to Mount Wulei!"

  A cart driver was still drowsy, suddenly a strong gust of wind blew by, and a silver ticket appeared in his arms. The cart driver glanced at it casually, then jumped up in shock.

  "Ten, ten... ten million taels!!"

  He has been doing business here for so long and has never seen such a large transaction.

  "Set off at once and hurry to the Thunderbolt Sect as soon as possible, then these 100,000 taels will be yours!"

  Lin Xi said in a low voice.

  Great rewards must have brave men! The carriage driver who was just absent-minded, immediately became energetic and vigorous:

  "Alright, don't worry about it!"

  Rinse the horse, add hay, bring food... In a short time, a good horse cart was ready in front of Lin Xi, even Lin Xi's food was prepared.

  "Guest, let's go!"

  The coachman beamed with joy.

  "Uh-huh."

  Lin Xi shook off his sleeve and was about to step onto the horse carriage.

  "Wait, Sect Leader, wait for me!..."

  Just then, a faint and anxious voice came from the slope.

  Lin Xi's eyes swept to the side, and he immediately saw a woman in a white dress, covered in blood, stumbling towards him.

  "Sister!"

  Lin Xi was startled and recognized the girl as a disciple of his aunt Lin Ruyun.

  "Sister Shifu, come quickly."

  Lin Xi supported the woman with one hand and then brought her onto the carriage.

  "Shaomen... I've finally found you!"

  A faint smile appeared on the pale face of the girl.

  Lin Xi took a glance and was secretly shocked; her injuries were extremely severe.

  "Sister, something's up, let's talk later. - Driver, depart!"

  As soon as Lin Xi's voice fell, the groom outside responded with a "yes" and then the carriage set off quickly.

  From the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range to the Five Thunder Mountain Range, the journey is long and requires seven or eight days. To deal with Meng Jun, Lin Xi must ensure that his physical strength is full and he is in top condition. Otherwise, if he were to die on the mountain due to this, it would be a regrettable mistake.

  Compared with others, horse-drawn carriage is the best choice.

  "Sister, you eat this first."

  Lin Xi pulled out a few handfuls of herbs and handed them to the girl.
