The countless spirit swords in the sky also lost their luster at this moment.
Wherever the sword light passed, the sword dance composed of countless spiritual swords also fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
Some spirit swords were even severed as a result.
"How can it be!"
Chang Yin stared in disbelief at the scene before him, unable to believe that his prized sword formation had been broken so easily.
But that wasn't the end of it. As the sword formation broke apart...
He and his disciples behind him all coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
Within the entire sword formation, apart from Xu Changqing who withstood the impact of Lin Yan's sword light with sheer strength, everyone else was unable to escape unscathed.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Chang Yin, who took over Xu Changqing's sword eye, was the most seriously injured.
He was coughing up large amounts of blood, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.
As for Lin Yan, he had already vanished in a flash, turning into a streak of light.
Breaking the sword formation would be enough. Although Shushan had been unkind to him, there was no need for him to suffer retribution.
After all, the Qingwei Sect Leader was indeed like a teacher and a father to him.
Even if all his spiritual power was destroyed, he knew that placing him in the Demon Locking Tower was to protect him.
His approach was correct in order to prevent Shushan from being affected by external factors.
But Lin Yan wouldn't agree, because he was the victim.
Not harming my fellow disciples from Mount Shu is already a way of repaying the kindness of Master Qingwei in raising me.
From now on, Shushan will remain Shushan, and he will remain himself.
If Shushan were to become his enemy again in the future, Lin Yan would not hold back at all.
"How could my third junior brother's skill have improved so much?"
"Standing in front of him felt like standing in a bottomless, icy pool, sending chills down my spine."
Xu Changqing watched Lin Yan's departing figure, a thoughtful expression on his face.
But soon, he began to circulate his internal energy to heal Chang Yin's injuries.
While he was healing Chang Yin, the Qingwei Sect Leader and four other Shushan elders flew over from the back mountain.
Seeing this scene, Sect Leader Qingwei couldn't help but sigh softly.
Chapter 145 Yun Ting, son of the governor of Leizhou
"Master, your disciple is useless."
"That traitor Lin Yan got away."
When Chang Yin saw that the four elders and the Qingwei Sect Leader had all come out, a look of shame appeared on his face.
They were clearly the entire fighting force of Mount Shu.
Almost all the outstanding disciples of the second and third generations stepped forward to stop Lin Yan.
However, they were unable to keep Lin Yan there, and Lin Yan even broke the barrier seal of the Demon Locking Tower.
"It's alright, let them go if they've run away."
"We don't need to worry about him anymore."
"Changqing, take the uninjured disciples and improve the barrier of the Demon Locking Tower."
The sect leader of Qingwei shook his head; he only felt sorry for Lin Yan's departure.
Although, in terms of talent alone, Lin Yan is not as good as Chang Yin and Xu Changqing.
But in his opinion, Lin Yan's character was excellent, much better than Chang Yin and Xu Changqing.
"Yes, master."
Xu Changqing nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements.
Among the four elders standing to the side, Elder Cang Gu walked up to Sect Leader Qingwei.
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, would it be inappropriate to send Lin Yan down the mountain?"
"Given this kid's temperament, I'm afraid he won't let this go so easily."
Cang Gu's face showed worry. In his opinion, if Lin Yan went down the mountain to seek revenge, he would continue to kill mortals.
That would be a huge loss of face for the Shu Mountain sect.
They had the ability to escape from the Shu Mountain Sword Formation and take away such an important demonic sword.
Descending the mountain will inevitably cause a bloodbath.
"However, I remember that Lin Yan's cultivation level should have been crippled by our joint efforts."
"Why have they regained such strength?"
Elder Youxuan asked, looking puzzled.
On the day Lin Yan's cultivation was abolished, it was the four elders who acted simultaneously.
They merely abolished his spiritual power; although they did not destroy his physical constitution, he wanted to restore his cultivation in just three months.
It should be almost impossible.
"Fine, since Lin Yan has already been expelled from Mount Shu."
"Then his punishment can be considered over."
"Moreover, he has returned all the skills that Shushan taught him."
"I also showed leniency to his former fellow disciples just now."
"Otherwise, let alone Changyin, even Changqing might not be his match."
The sect leader of Qingwei shook his head and answered expressionlessly.
Then, without waiting for the other elders to speak, he walked towards the Shushan Grand Hall.
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, it seems you've still softened your heart."
"After all, they are children I've watched grow up."
“We are all human beings, not gods. How can we cultivate the Tao to the point of losing all humanity?”
"I just hope that the child won't cause too much of a scene outside."
The four elders looked at the departing figure of the Qingwei Sect Leader and shook their heads with some emotion.
Even though the five of them already possessed extraordinary cultivation levels in the current human realm.
Even so, they are still human, and cannot completely extinguish their humanity.
As an orphan who grew up in Shu Mountain, how could the Qingwei Sect Leader bear to truly cripple Lin Yan?
Although he lost all his spiritual power, the four elders did not destroy his physical constitution.
This also gave Lin Yan a sliver of hope that he could cultivate back to his former self.
. . . . . .
Cangzhou, the main hall of the prefectural governor's mansion.
At this time, Liu Yun, the prefect of Cangzhou, was hosting a banquet for distinguished guests.
Four months ago, his son, along with a group of local scoundrels in Cangzhou, forcibly abducted a woman.
After Lin Yan discovered them, he killed seventeen people, including these纨绔 (spoiled brats) servants.
After learning that Lin Yan was a disciple of Mount Shu, Liu Yun, the governor of Cangzhou, didn't dare to utter a single word.
But soon, they smoothed things over and began to report to the prefecture.
He embellished the story of everything that happened in Cangzhou, accusing Shushan disciple Lin Yan of abducting women and killing seventeen people.
Furthermore, officials protected each other, distorting the facts.
Upon learning of this, the governor of Leizhou led a group of officials from Cangzhou to Shushan to file a complaint.
Only then was Lin Yan convicted, his cultivation abolished, and he imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower.
The person Liu Yun invited to this banquet was none other than Yun Ting, the eldest son of the Yun family, who came from Leizhou.
As the son of the governor of Leizhou, Yun Ting was born with a lot of prestige.
During his visit to Cangzhou, he was treated as an honored guest.
"We owe a great deal to Young Master Yun and Lord Yun for their help last time."
"Only my son can clear his name."
"This humble official offers a toast to Young Master Yun, thanking you for your help."
