On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!

Xiaolong swallowed the stone flower whole, and it immediately took effect, making Xiaokong's previously somewhat ethereal figure much more solid.

"Cool!"

Xiao Kong floated directly in the air, wagging its tail, its face full of satisfaction.

Lin Fan was overjoyed to see this. He and Xiao Long had been through life and death together many times and were already partners who had shared life and death. Helping Xiao Long regain his life was also one of Lin Fan's major goals.

"Kid, I'll reluctantly thank you this time. This stone flower will allow my soul to remain in its current state for several hundred more years, so I can live a life of unbridled recklessness from now on."

Little Dragon landed on Lin Fan's shoulder and laughed heartily.

Lin Fan smiled as well.

"Unrestrained, absolutely unrestrained! We're going to venture into the Immortal Realm and have a good time."

"Once you go to the Immortal Realm, I'll take you to my Dragon Clan. I'll protect you then. Back then, I had a very high status in the Dragon Clan. There weren't many people in the entire Immortal Realm who dared to mess with me."

Xiao Long patted his chest, looking very proud.

Seeing that Xiao Long was getting a little carried away, Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh and say:
"Oh? Is that so? Then how did you end up having your body cut off?"

This teasing remark instantly made Xiaolong furious.

"You brat, don't bring up things you shouldn't. I was just set up back then. Damn it, when I return to the Immortal Realm, I'll definitely find out the truth. You dare to scheme against me? You're asking for trouble."

Lin Fan listened to Xiao Long's incessant grumbling and flew off in another direction.

The best finds might be yet to come on this trip to the great tomb.

Lin Fan walked deeper into the tomb, collecting a considerable amount of resources along the way. Some of these resources were extremely important for Lin Fan's subsequent cultivation, so Lin Fan kept them all.

However, most of the martial arts manuals and high-level magic weapons were not of much use to Lin Fan. Lin Fan decided to keep these things and take them out to give to the Lin family to improve the overall strength of the Lin family.

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Lin Fan noticed the sounds of fighting and immediately ran in the direction of the noise.

Inside a huge tomb chamber, Yan Zhan and his group, along with a host of ancient clan prodigies, surrounded Ouyang Qingluo and Zhou Moxi.

"Little girl, surrender now, and I'll treat you well!"

Yan Zhan looked at Ouyang Qingluo and Zhou Moxi, a hint of evil flashing in his eyes, but more so, madness.

How dare Dongzhou defy their ancient clan like this! If he were to capture these two Dongzhou women, he would torture them mercilessly, letting Dongzhou know the price of offending their ancient clan.
Ouyang Qingluo and Zhou Moxi kept cold faces and did not respond to Yan Zhan and the others' teasing.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and Yan Zhan's head flew off instantly.

It wasn't until Yan Zhan's head rolled into the corner like a ball that everyone realized what had happened.

"Yan Zhan is dead!"

"Who is it?! Who are you, you villain?!"

"Who is it! Show yourself if you dare!"

Everyone present was terrified. Yan Zhan was among the top twenty on the temporary list of geniuses, yet he had his head chopped off in an instant.

If it were them, they would die without ever knowing anything.

Upon seeing the shadow of the sword, Zhou Moxi and Ouyang Qingluo immediately knew who had arrived.

Several more blades flashed, and several more heads fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding ancient tribesmen immediately panicked and scattered in all directions.
But Lin Fan has already decided to wreak havoc on all sides today. No matter what strength the ancient clan has, since he has already provoked them, he will wipe them out completely!
Lin Fan pursued them with his sword, unleashing several consecutive strikes that killed dozens of people.

As for the other frightened birds, Lin Xuan didn't bother with them and flew back to Zhou Moxi and Ouyang Qingluo's side.

"Brother Lin Fan!"

Ouyang Qingluo has a straightforward personality and is very daring in her actions. When she saw Lin Fan coming over, she rushed up and hugged him without saying a word.

Lin Fan patted Ouyang Qingluo's little head.

"Okay, it's alright, it's alright."

Zhou Moxi, being rather cold-hearted, hesitated as she looked at the couple.

"Sister Mo Xi clearly cares a lot, but she pretends to be aloof. Oh dear, little does she know how warm Brother Lin Fan's arms are."

Ouyang Qingluo pressed half her face against Lin Fan's chest, clearly feeling the steady heartbeat of Lin Fan.

Zhou Moxi gritted her teeth and gave a soft snort; she really was a cold-hearted person.

Lin Fan chuckled and walked over to Zhou Moxi. He grabbed Zhou Moxi's fair wrist with almost no force, and Zhou Moxi seemed to fall into Lin Fan's arms on her own initiative.

"Alright, let's continue on our way and go find the others."

Lin Fan and the two women lingered for a dozen breaths, but now was not the time for intimacy, as they were still inside the tomb.

If the tomb owner knew that the three of them were being intimate in front of his coffin, he would probably lift the coffin lid and beat them up.

"Huh? Is that Xu Jingyao's signal?"

Lin Fan suddenly received a signal from Xu Jingyao.

It turned out that Lin Chang'an, Long Xian'er, Lin Ao, and Lin Long were surrounded by Sima Zhao of the Sima family, and there were also experts from the Xu family among them.

And among them was Mu Lingji, the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect.

Before Lin Fan entered the Tianyuan Secret Realm, his father had told him to take good care of Mu Lingji.

Lin Fan naturally took note of this.

"Let's go. I think I know the general location. This time, let's launch a pincer attack on Sima Zhao. I want the Sima family and the Xu family to be completely wiped out!"

A hint of madness flashed in Lin Fan's eyes. If he could wipe out the two ancient clans, it would be an earth-shattering event.

Lin Fan headed in the direction Xu Jingyao had sent, and there was another tomb chamber. However, this tomb chamber was very large. Calling it a tomb chamber was an understatement; it was more like the main hall of a castle, and it could probably easily accommodate thousands of people.

Meanwhile, Sima Zhao and his group surrounded Lin Chang'an and his companions.

"Hmph, you country bumpkins from the East Continent, this time, I'll bury you all in this tomb."

Sima Zhao glanced at Lin Chang'an and the others. In Sima Zhao's eyes, the best option was to execute all people from Dongzhou, regardless of gender.

Lin Chang'an stood at the very front, head held high and chest out, showing no fear even though he was surrounded.

"Hehe, it's hard to say who will live and who will die. Sima Zhao, you so-called number one genius of the Sima family, I feel you're just so-so. I've fought you for over a hundred moves and haven't felt that you have any extraordinary abilities." Lin Chang'an had already fought with Sima Zhao for hundreds of moves, but the battle had not yet ended in a draw.

Sima Zhao's face was extremely ugly. He was a top-five prodigy, but at this moment he was actually stopped by a country bumpkin from the Eastern Continent. This was indeed a slap in the face.

"You country bumpkin, if you die today, no one will know!"

At Sima Zhao's command, hundreds of ancient clan prodigies had already laid a trap, ready to swarm Lin Chang'an and his group and launch a coordinated attack at any moment.

Lin Chang'an narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he prided himself on his strong physique, there were simply too many people around him. He couldn't fight against so many people, and there were also several people protecting him from behind, which put him under a lot of pressure.

Suddenly, Lin Chang'an seemed to become a different person, suddenly becoming exceptionally confident, and he beckoned to Sima Zhao with a slight gesture.

"Sima, you old dog, come here, let me show you what you're capable of."

"Everyone, kill him! I want this guy dead!"

Sima Zhao had no intention of engaging in a fair one-on-one duel; in his mind, any method that could kill the opponent was a good one.

Lin Chang'an laughed wildly, gripping the golden staff tightly in his hand. He leaped up suddenly. In this mysterious space, he couldn't mobilize his own Yuan Form, but Lin Chang'an's physical body was already among the best in its realm.

With this single blow, many of the rising talents who had been attacking were swept away.

Sima Zhao immediately rushed forward, a long spear appearing in his hand. He swept the spear out, creating a gust of cold wind.

Lin Chang'an held his staff horizontally in front of him, and the swirling cold wind swept him away. However, Lin Chang'an had excellent force-dissipating skills, which allowed him to regain his footing.

"Hehe, you use a gun? What a coincidence, I used to use a gun too."

Lin Chang'an twisted his neck and looked at Sima Zhao with a cold smile.

"Xu Jingyao, Xu Luo, come with me and take down these guys first. We can discuss the rest later."

Sima Zhao could sense Lin Chang'an's strength, and in case of any unforeseen circumstances, he planned to overwhelm the Dongzhou people with sheer numbers.

After all, there were hundreds of ancient clan prodigies around them, and if they all rushed forward, their strength should not be underestimated.

Xu Luo naturally stood beside Sima Zhao without hesitation, and Xu Jingyao immediately stood on the other side of Sima Zhao as well.

At Sima Zhao's command, Xu Jingyao suddenly launched an attack on him.

Sima Zhao and Xu Jingyao were too close together, which made it impossible for Sima Zhao to completely dodge Xu Jingyao's attack.

However, Sima Zhao was no pushover either, after all, he was ranked fourth on the list of geniuses. Although he took a fierce blow from Xu Jingyao, Sima Zhao also responded with a move of his own.

Xu Jingyao hadn't expected Sima Zhao to have so many tricks up his sleeve. She took a hit from Sima Zhao head-on and was blasted back more than ten meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Although she launched the sneak attack on the unsuspecting Sima Zhao, Sima Zhao was able to retaliate with a single move. Is this the difference between fourth and thirteenth place?

Although Sima Zhao injured Xu Jingyao, the damage he suffered was far more severe. After all, he had taken a solid blow from Xu Jingyao's palm, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood as he stared intently at Xu Jingyao and Xu Luo and the other members of the Xu clan.

The other prodigies from the Sima family immediately surrounded Sima Zhao, watching the Xu clan and the people from Dongzhou warily.

"Is your Xu clan plotting a rebellion? Are you trying to make enemies of our Sima family?!"

One of the Sima family's prodigies pointed at the Xu family and launched into a furious tirade.

Xu Luo's eyes turned red, and he immediately looked at Xu Jingyao.

"Xu Jingyao, this is rebellion! This is defying the orders of my Xu clan!"

"Brother Sima, this matter has nothing to do with my Xu clan; it was all done by Xu Jingyao alone!"

Xu Luo anxiously explained to Sima Zhao.

However, once the cracks of doubt appear, they are difficult to heal.

Sima Zhao dared not completely believe Xu Luo's words. What if Xu Luo was still putting on an act for him?
"Hahaha……"

Lin Chang'an was not surprised at all by this scene; instead, he smiled and clapped.

"It seems there are some minor internal problems among you all. Would you like us to lend a hand?"

At this time, in the allied forces of the Xu and Sima clans, Sima Zhao, who ranked second among the top, was seriously injured, and Xu Jingyao had betrayed them. Not only did their morale plummet, but they also lost half of their fighting strength.

"Stop being so stubborn! Even if this bitch betrayed us, you're all going to die!"

Xu Luo pointed at Lin Chang'an and shouted, his eyes filled with bloodshot red.

"Xu Jingyao, you just wait. After we get out this time, I will definitely report to the clan leader. You will be begging for death!"

Xu Luo pointed at Xu Jingyao and shouted, trying to scare her.

However, Xu Jingyao simply smiled dismissively at this.

"Heh, sorry, but I have an irreconcilable feud with the Xu family. Do you think I'll go back to them this time?!"

Xu Jingyao flashed and stood on the side of the Eastern Continent camp.

Apart from Lin Chang'an, everyone else was very surprised by Xu Jingyao's actions.

Xu Jingyao is the second most outstanding talent in the Xu clan and should have an extremely high status in the clan, so why is she so hostile to her own family now?
The people of Dongzhou were all extremely puzzled by this.

Lin Long and Lin Ao were still wondering whether they should remind Lin Changhan in case of a trap.

Lin Chang'an smiled and waved his hand.

"Miss Xu, the young clan leader has already told me about your matter. This old scoundrel Xu Ling, in order to marry the legitimate daughter of the Yan clan and curry favor with the Yan clan, forced your mother, who depended on you for survival, to her death. We in Dongzhou will take care of this matter!"

After Lin Chang'an said this, everyone finally understood.

If Xu Jingyao betrayed the Xu clan for this reason, it seems somewhat understandable.

After all, the Xu clan was indeed at fault first.

"You wretch! The Xu clan has given you protection and nurtured you, you should be grateful!" Xu Luo continued to curse, completely ignoring the fact that Xu Jingyao's mother had been forced to her death.

"Heh, how laughable! The Xu clan didn't cultivate me at all. I'm an illegitimate child, and the resources I received were no different from those of other illegitimate children. In fact, I was almost forced to my death because of my talent. Is this what you call cultivation?!"

Xu Jingyao's eyes were filled with anger, a mixture of resentment and anger.

Sima Zhao listened to these words from the side, completely numb. How could Xu Jingyao, with such talent, be treated like this by the Xu clan?

Are all those people in the Xu clan idiots?!
Xu Jingyao managed to reach the thirteenth place on the Heavenly Pride Ranking on her own, which is much better than Xu Tuo, a good-for-nothing who only relies on his family. However, the Xu clan has allowed such a pearl to be tarnished. Xu Ling, the patriarch of the Xu clan, is truly quite eccentric.

"No need for further words today. It's either you die or I perish!"

Xu Jingyao held her longsword in hand, her eyes filled with unwavering determination. (End of Chapter)
