Chapter 201: Destroying Lin Family's Branch & Lin Yun Awakens His Protagonist Destiny
On this day, the sun barely peeked oer the horizon when Wang Li's Three Peaks Alliance, accompanied by the disciples and elders of the Silver Moon Palace and the Celestial Phoenix Sect, launched a surprise attack on the Lin Family's branch base on the island. The Lin Family was taken completely off guard by the overwhelming force descending upon them.
The Silver Moon Palace and Celestial Phoenix Sect were renowned for their predominantly female disciples and elders, each one more beautiful and deadly than the last. Their presence added an ethereal grace to the battlefield, but it was their combat prowess that truly set them apart. As the forces converged on the Lin Family's base, the air buzzed with the anticipation of the coming battle.
Leading the charge were the heads of the Three Peaks Alliance: Wang Li of the Wang Family, Xia Bingling of the Xia Family, and Song Jingyan of the Song Family. Wang Li had crafted a precise strategy, knowing full well the weakened state of the Lin Family's array formations thanks to Luo Ziyi's sabotage.
"Remember, our objective is to break through their defenses quickly and efficiently," Wang Li instructed his forces, his voice steady and commanding. "Strike the array formation barriers at the weakest points I've indicated. Once inside, we split into our designated groups and eliminate any resistance."
His confidence was palpable, and his allies trusted his leadership implicitly. With a nod from Wang Li, the assault began. Bolts of energy and powerful techniques were unleashed upon the array formations, and just as Wang Li had anticipated, they shattered with surprising ease.
The beautiful elders leading the Silver Moon Palace and Celestial Phoenix Sect forces exchanged shocked glances. "How did Wang Li know the exact weak points?" one of them murmured, awe evident in her voice. Find more at m _v _l _e _mpyr.
The experts of the Lin Family, on the other hand, were thrown into disarray. Their carefully constructed defenses crumbled like sandcastles before a tide. Lin Yun, the ninth heir of the Lin Family, stood frozen in terror as the sounds of battle echoed through their base.
"Young Master, you must escape!" one of Lin Yun's guards urged, eyes wide with urgency. "There is a secret path. We will hold them off as long as we can."
Lin Yun, pale and trembling, could barely process the words. The Guard Captain, a seasoned warrior, took command of the remaining Lin Family guards. "All of you, engage the enemy and protect the Young Master at all costs!" he bellowed.
As the battle erupted in full force, Lin Yun finally snapped out of his stupor. He turned and fled towards the secret escape path, his heart pounding in his chest. Behind him, the sounds of clashing weapons and dying screams filled the air.
Wang Li's forces broke through the Lin Family's defenses with ruthless efficiency. Upon reaching the heart of the base, Wang Li was surprised to find no trace of Lin Yun. Sensing something amiss, he activated his Heavenly Fate Pupils, scanning the area with his enhanced vision.
"There!" he muttered, spotting Lin Yun's aura moving through a hidden underground tunnel. He quickly issued new orders. "Focus your attacks on these spots," he instructed his Wang Family experts, indicating key points on the ground. "We need to collapse that tunnel."
The ground trembled as powerful strikes were delivered in rapid succession. However, as Wang Li continued to watch, he noticed a sudden change in Lin Yun's aura. What had been a mundane green destiny aura suddenly flared into a vibrant golden hue.
"Golden Destiny...?" Wang Li muttered, a mix of surprise and concern flickering in his eyes. "How could his destiny change so dramatically?"
Before the tunnel could collapse, the ground underneath Lin Yun gave way, sending him plummeting into a hidden pit. Wang Li's keen eyes tracked his fall, noting the presence of an ancient void teleportation formation at the bottom.
"Damn it," Wang Li cursed as he realized what was happening. Lin Yun was being teleported away by some ancient mechanism, a fortuitous encounter that could very well turn the tide of his destiny.
Wang Li and his allies reached the pit moments later, but it was too late. The ancient void teleportation formation had already activated, its power spent. Lin Yun was gone, whisked away to an unknown location.
"He's escaped," Wang Li said, frustration lacing his voice. He let out a sigh, knowing that Lin Yun's golden destiny meant he would undoubtedly return stronger and more dangerous. But Wang Li remained confident. He had defeated one protagonist-like figure before, and he would do so again.
"Let's finish what we started," Wang Li declared, turning his attention back to the Lin Family's base. The remaining members of the Lin Family were quickly overwhelmed. Those who resisted were slain, and the rest were captured.
With the Lin Family's branch effectively neutralized, Wang Li's allied forces began to loot their treasury. The Silver Moon Palace and Celestial Phoenix Sect's beautiful disciples moved gracefully through the compound, gathering valuable resources, pellet recipes, and array formation blueprints.
The treasury was indeed vast, a testament to the Lin Family's former power. "This will be of great use to us," Xia Bingling remarked, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction as she inspected a particularly rare pellet recipe.
"Agreed," Song Jingyan replied, her hands deftly sorting through a collection of precious spiritual herbs. "The resources here will strengthen our respective factions significantly."
As the looting continued, Wang Li couldn't help but reflect on the day's events. Lin Yun's escape was a setback, but it was also a reminder of the unpredictable nature of fate in the cultivation world. Still, Wang Li's confidence remained unshaken. He had the support of powerful allies and the cunning to outmaneuver his enemies.
When the looting was complete, Wang Li gathered his allies. "Today, we have dealt a significant blow to the Lin Family," he announced, his voice carrying the weight of their victory. "But we must remain vigilant. Lin Yun has escaped, and he will undoubtedly seek revenge. We must be prepared for whatever comes next."
The beautiful elders and disciples of the Silver Moon Palace and Celestial Phoenix Sect nodded in agreement. "We will be ready," the elegant elder of the Celestial Phoenix Sect affirmed. "Our forces will continue to stand by your side, Wang Li."
"And we will support you as well," the elder of the Silver Moon Palace added, her voice resolute.
Wang Li smiled, grateful for their unwavering support. "Thank you. Together, we will ensure that our enemies never gain the upper hand."
As the allied forces dispersed, Wang Li took a moment to contact Luo Ziyi. "Ziyi, the mission was successful. The Lin Family's branch has been destroyed, and their resources are now ours."
"Excellent news, Master Wang Li," Luo Ziyi replied, her voice filled with pride. "I will ensure everything is in place for your arrival on the mainland."
"Good. Prepare yourself. We will need to remain vigilant for any signs of Lin Yun's return."
"I understand, Master. I will be ready."
With that, Wang Li ended the communication and took a deep breath. The future was uncertain, but he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. With his allies by his side and his unwavering determination, he knew that he would continue to rise in power and influence.
As the sun set on the battlefield, casting long shadows over the fallen Lin Family's base, Wang Li felt a sense of accomplishment.
Meanwhile, at this time, Lin Yun's world spun as he was sucked into the ancient void teleportation formation. He lost all sense of direction, feeling as though he were falling endlessly through a pitch-black void. Suddenly, with a jarring thud, he landed in a cold, dark place. The air was thick with an ominous energy that sent shivers down his spine.
Groaning, Lin Yun pushed himself to his feet and looked around. The place was shrouded in darkness, illuminated only by a faint, eerie glow emanating from a massive stone altar at the center. The walls were inscribed with ancient, sinister runes that seemed to pulse with malevolent energy.
"Where am I?" Lin Yun muttered, his voice echoing off the stone walls. He took a hesitant step forward, drawn toward the altar by an inexplicable force. As he approached, he noticed a series of intricate carvings on the altar, depicting scenes of slaughter and chaos.
A chilling voice resonated in his mind. "Welcome, successor. You have been chosen to inherit the legacy of the Slaughtering Demon Emperor, Bai Wudi."
Lin Yun's heart raced. The name Bai Wudi was legendary, a demon feared for his unmatched prowess in battle and his insatiable thirst for slaughter. Bai Wudi's reign of terror had ended thousands of years ago, but his legacy had become the stuff of nightmares.
The voice continued, "By stepping onto this altar, you will accept the blood of Bai Wudi, transforming your body and soul. You will gain his knowledge, his techniques, and his treasures. But be warned, the path of slaughter is fraught with peril."
