A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

"Ang ang ang ang!!~"

With a soul-shaking dragon roar, the five-colored dragon headed straight for the powerful figure of the Ruthless Man's lineage!

Wherever it passed, the void collapsed! The laws of nature were annihilated!

The powerful figure from the Ruthless Clan turned deathly pale; he could feel the terror of this attack. If struck, even a peak-level expert like himself would perish on the spot!

In that critical moment, he could no longer care about concealing his identity.

【The Sacred Technique of Myriad Transformations!】

The powerful figure from the Ruthless lineage formed hand seals, his body surging with chaotic energy, and a profound aura spread out.

The Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique is a supreme divine art created by the Ruthless Great Emperor. It can transform all the secret techniques in the world and turn all amazing skills into ordinary ones.

But... even the most powerful moves depend on who's using them!

At the same level of great power, unless the one using the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique is the true form of a ruthless person who has entered the Divine Forbidden Realm, otherwise... there is no way he could block this move!

.......

The powerful figures of the Ruthless lineage fought desperately, pushing the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique to its limit in an attempt to reduce the Five-Colored Divine Dragon to mortal form.

But... he ultimately failed.

"puff!"

The powerful figure from the Ruthless lineage was struck, and the Five-Colored Divine Dragon broke through the chaotic mist, passing straight through his abdomen! Leaving behind a large, blood-red hole imbued with the remnants of the Five Elements Divine Power!

The chaotic mist exploded, revealing the true face of a powerful figure from the Ruthless lineage—an old man with a sinister expression and eyes filled with horror.

"you......"

The powerful figure from the Ruthless lineage wanted to say something, but the Dao Lord didn't give him a chance. He had already used the power of the void to teleport in front of him and threw a punch!

This punch contains the essence of the five elements: the sharpness of metal, the vitality of wood, the flexibility of water, the ferocity of fire, and the weight of earth. The five forces are perfectly integrated!

"Bang!!!"

One punch down!

The chest of the ruthless elder was pierced! Then... the power of the Five Elements erupted!

"Boom!~"

His entire body exploded, leaving only a head with a terrified expression!

"No!"

The powerful figure from the Ruthless Clan was filled with resentment. He was one of the leaders of the Ruthless Clan, a peak powerhouse, wielding the Emperor Weapon Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, and should have suppressed all enemies! But he never expected that he would perish here today!

Before he could say anything, the sheep talisman was already affixed to his forehead.

Before obtaining all the detailed information about the Ruthless Clan's actions this time, Lin Xiu did not intend to eliminate their consciousness and refine it into the Human Emperor Banner.

.......

With the powerful figures of the Ruthless lineage being brought under control, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron gradually fell into obscurity.

The black light on the cauldron receded, and it ceased its struggle. A few breaths later, the cauldron trembled, and an invisible force emanated from afar, pulling it to break free from the golden battle flag's restraints.

"buzz"

The dragon-patterned black gold cauldron shattered the void, transforming into a streak of black light that disappeared into the horizon.

Lin Xiu did not manipulate the Dao Lord to fight or pursue, but simply watched the black cauldron leave quietly.

The Ruthless Clan is still too powerful. Saint Lord level figures are far from the limit of the Ruthless Clan. There is no need to start a full-scale war with the Ruthless Clan too early.

What we should do now is to strive to improve our cultivation level while helping the Yao Guang Holy Lord's lineage gain control of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron.

Once he cultivates to become a half-saint or a great-great-king, he can then completely eradicate the hidden dangers of the Ruthless Man lineage with the help of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Although the Great Sage of the Ruthless lineage did appear in the original work, it was in the later period after the great changes in the world.

Currently, the strongest member of the Ruthless Clan is only a Half-Saint. Theoretically, as long as Lin Xiu can strip him of control over the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, he can use the Dao Lord and Emperor Weapon to kill him.

However, to be on the safe side, Lin Xiu did not intend to take action right now.

Lin Xiu has always believed in the importance of being well-prepared before taking action.

However... this public opinion storm did indeed teach Lin Xiu a lesson.

Man proposes, God disposes; unexpected things happen all the time. When they do happen, don't be too surprised. Just follow the standard problem-solving procedures.

.......

Meanwhile, at the Holy Land of Yao Guang.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang cut off her conversation with Lin Xiu and walked towards the Holy Lord of Yaoguang.

However, as she walked, she looked embarrassed and shifted uncomfortably in her slender figure, which was wrapped in a gold dress.

Because she suddenly remembered something important: Lin Xiu had contacted her through the Extreme Dao Emperor's Shield that Lin Xiu had given her.

So... besides contacting her, is there anything else Lin Xiu can do?

No, I can't think about this anymore. If I do, Yao Xi feels like she'll die of embarrassment.

Yao Xi was right. The Extreme Dao Emperor's Gauntlet was a system reward. Theoretically, after the system advanced, Lin Xiu would have perfect control over all system rewards.

Therefore, Lin Xiu can indeed do what Yao Xi wants.

However, Lin Xiu didn't have Yao Xi's imagination or her lewdness, so he couldn't think of this point immediately.

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang noticed that the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang was walking towards him and frowned.

"Does the Holy Maiden want to see me?"

Yao Xi nodded: "Yes, Holy Lord, Brother Lin just contacted me. He said he hopes the Yao Guang Holy Land can be more reliable. He doesn't want his partner to be a useless person."

Holy Lord Yao Guang: "......."

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang felt that Lin Xiu had gone too far!

Well... he understood why Lin Xiu would say such a thing. This time, it was indeed Yao Guang who had tricked Lin Xiu.

But, looking at it from another angle, if Yao Guang could control his own imperial weapon, he wouldn't need to cooperate with Lin Xiu, right?

Lin Xiu should have been prepared from the beginning that the Yao Guang Holy Land would be relatively useless.

.......

Yao Xi: "In short, Brother Lin means that he hopes that I, Yao Guang, can keep a close watch on the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron. He said that he does not expect Yao Guang to have complete control over the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, but at least he should report to me in time if the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron goes missing."

"Whoo~~~"

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang felt very aggrieved. What did he mean by "reporting the situation to Lin Xiu"? He, Yaoguang, was not Lin Xiu's subordinate!

However, when it came to his words, Li Daoqing changed his tune.

"Alright, I understand young friend Lin's intentions. I see that you, Holy Maiden, seem to have a means of communicating with young friend Lin remotely. If the Imperial Cauldron is lost, I will inform you immediately."

Li Daoqing felt that Yao Xi's signs of betraying her own side were becoming increasingly obvious.

Although Yao Xi said "I am Yao Guang", he didn't feel that Yao Xi regarded herself as a Yao Guang person.

.......

On the other side, Lin Xiu's side.

After ending his contact with Yao Xi, Lin Xiu recalled the Dao Lord.

And so, the Dao Lord returned to the venue, carrying the head of a powerful being whose soul had been sealed.

"The Dao Lord won?"

"Truly terrifying! To be able to defeat a Saint Lord-level figure of the same realm in such a short time, the Dao Lord must have been an unparalleled genius in his youth!"

"How should the Daoist Master deal with this Saint Lord-level figure?"

"By the way, the person has been captured, but what about the imperial weapon? Which holy land's imperial weapon was used to assist us? Was it from the Eastern Wilderness or the Central Plains?"

"BOOM!!!"

As everyone was discussing this, the head of the Saint Lord level was casually pinched by the Dao Lord and exploded on the spot!

"Damn! Just kill him? I wanted to see which powerful figure from which faction he was!"

"Yes! My site has already opened for sale, so there has to be a result, right?"

.......

"This matter is now concluded; the Immortal Venerable Competition shall continue."

Lin Xiu ignored the comments of the other cultivators and used the Void Array Pattern to step back into the rest room with the Dao Lord.

Before long, many people arrived at Lin Xiu's private rest room, wanting to visit Lin Xiu and the Dao Master.

However, all of these people were turned away at the door by the people of Miaoyu Nunnery.

In the lounge, Lin Xiu looked at Himeko.

"Alright, let's continue our previous topic."

"Himeko, I hope you can visit all the imperial clans and ask them to release all the imperial princes."

"Ok?"

Himeko was stunned. What did Lin Xiu say?

Chapter 261 Hello! Himeko! Farewell! Ye Hei!

"Ok?"

Himeko was stunned. What did Lin Xiu say?

Lin Xiu: "I said, I hope that you, as the son of the Void Emperor, will travel to all the imperial clans with the Void Mirror and make them release all the geniuses who were left for the Golden Age!"

"Whether they are imperial sons or grandsons, or prodigies from many generations later, it doesn't matter!"

Himeko: "........."

"Brother Lin, I know what you want me to do. What I'm wondering is... why do you want me to do this?"

Himeko hadn't expected Lin Xiu to make such a grand gesture so casually.

The key point is that the actual work wasn't done by Lin Xiu himself, but by this outsourced worker!
