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

Many cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness knew that Yaochi and Lin Xiu had a good relationship, and many believed that the Queen Mother of the West was taking sides.

But even if you take sides, what good will it do?

All the top forces in the Eastern Wilderness have a good relationship with Lin Xiu, or at least they are not hostile towards him. Under these circumstances, it is already fair and just that the Queen Mother of the West did not take sides too seriously.

.......

"Immortal Lin, why did you attack that person?"

The Queen Mother of the West looked at Lin Xiu and asked softly, appearing very natural and relaxed.

She was definitely relaxed.

On the one hand, Lin Xiu's actions confirmed to her that "Lin Xiu is the Dao Lord," and from now on, she no longer needed to worry about Lin Xiu's safety.

On the other hand, she trusted her young master's decisions. Lin Xiu was always reliable and wouldn't act rashly without a reason.

In conclusion, those people were right; she really was there to take sides...

Even if Lin Xiu were to make a move against someone casually, she would stand firmly on Lin Xiu's side, even if it meant making enemies of the entire world!

.......

"why?"

"Hehe~ Of course, he's the one crying 'stop thief' while being the one who's thief."

Lin Xiu chuckled, somewhat satisfied with the reactions of the Queen Mother of the West and the cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness.

As it turned out, he did indeed establish terrifying prestige in a short period of time, and no one dared to oppose him even when he took action without giving any reason.

"The thief cries 'Stop thief!'"

"Immortal Lin, do you mean...?"

The Queen Mother of the West in Yaochi raised her eyebrows slightly, realizing something, and her pupils dilated instantly.

"Yes."

Lin Xiu nodded.

"He is the one from the ruthless lineage."

"However, he is not a core member of the Ruthless People's lineage, but a powerful figure on the periphery of the lineage."

"Although he himself did not cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Attack or the Undying Heavenly Art, he was responsible for providing intelligence to the Ruthless People's lineage."

"Do you really think anyone would preach on such a large scale and for such a long time for free? He's doing this... just to select suitable fodder for the ruthless lineage!"

In a sense, Lin Xiu is the most ruthless and deeply hidden member of the Beidou lineage.

Lin Xiu could tell what this little Karami was thinking the moment he opened his mouth.

It's simply a matter of taking the opportunity to weaken his prestige, ideally turning him into a ruthless figure, so that no one will help him, or even exile or hunt him down, ultimately... to create a suitable opportunity to strike at him and obtain the sacred essence within him.

Ye Fan was sent back to his hometown, leaving him as the only remaining Holy Body in the Big Dipper. As a result, the Ruthless Clan's attention naturally focused on him.

Therefore... Lin Xiu decided to take precautions and first take action against the Ruthless Clan.

.......

"Huh? Senior Pan is from the Ruthless People's lineage? ...How is that possible?"

"Exactly! Senior Pan is so kind, so dignified, and so outspoken... how could this be..."

"Hiss~ Now that Immortal Lin says it, I suddenly feel that Senior Pan was being a bit too attentive. Thinking back on it now, I feel that the way he looked at me was a little off..."

"However, in any case, isn't it a bit unfair to label someone as belonging to the ruthless faction without any evidence?"

"Even if Senior Pan is from the Ruthless lineage, it doesn't explain why the illusory figure of Immortal Lin used a Ruthless lineage technique during Ye Fan's Heavenly Tribulation, does it?"

Lin Xiu had anticipated these people's reactions.

To avoid veerging from the topic, Lin Xiu raised his hand and pointed, causing the Sheep Talisman and the Soul Character Ancient Talisman to appear simultaneously.

Next, Lin Xiu infused the ancient Soul-character talisman into the Sheep Talisman. Instantly, a golden divine sheep phantom burst forth from the Sheep Talisman and charged fiercely toward the old rogue cultivator surnamed Pan.

"Om~"

As the phantom of the divine sheep pierced through his body, the old rogue cultivator's eyes suddenly lost focus.

Immediately afterwards, images appeared on his forehead.

The scene depicts him sitting cross-legged in a dark, secret chamber, his hands forming hand seals, his body surrounded by surging black energy, manifesting the unique secret techniques of the Ruthless lineage, such as the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique, the One Thought Flower Bloom, and the Great Dao Treasure Bottle. There are also scenes of him secretly meeting with several men in black robes, exchanging jade slips and discussing how to infiltrate various holy lands and secretly collect the origins of special physiques. Finally, there is a scene where he reports the intelligence he has gathered, and then, together with other members of the Ruthless lineage, kidnaps the target.

The footage is crystal clear; it's irrefutable evidence!

......

"This...this old bastard is truly an undercover agent from the Ruthless Clan!"

"He just loudly pointed out Immortal Lin, clearly trying to shift the blame!"

"If only I had such a thick skin, I would definitely be able to master the Great Victory Immortal Scripture."

"Forget everything else, capture him first! Then interrogate him about the Ruthless Clan's lair! With his high cultivation level, he must know where the Ruthless Clan's lair is!"

A group of people were filled with righteous indignation, and many rolled up their sleeves, ready to step forward.

The elders and powerful figures who had just spoken up for the old man turned pale and embarrassed.

However, just as they were about to make their move against the powerful figure surnamed Pan, Lin Xiu gently grasped the ancient talisman with the character "Soul" in his hand.

"Oh!"

The next second, the Aurora Sword and the Soul Character Ancient Talisman worked together, and the old man's physical body and immortal platform cracked at the same time, and his soul was destroyed!

"this........"

Everyone was surprised and didn't know why Lin Xiu did this.

Even if we were to kill him, we should at least get accurate information first, right?

Lin Xiu smiled slightly and turned to look at the group of Holy Lords and Elders:

"Gentlemen, I have just obtained information about the Ruthless Clan from him."

"The ruthless lineage has been lurking for a long time, and has infiltrated more than one holy land. What happened today is just the tip of the iceberg."

"Therefore, I hereby propose that all the holy lands unite to eradicate the Ruthless Clan and uproot them from the Eastern Wilderness! To usher in an era of eternal peace for the cultivators of the Northern Dipper!"

Since the other party intended to take action against him, Lin Xiu granted their wish.

come on!

Let's get started!

It's a good opportunity to use the campaign against the ruthless lineage to bring all the forces in the Eastern Wilderness under my command and have a major battle!

You might not be used to it at first, but you'll get used to it after a while!

.......

If Lin Xiu's first step in laying the foundation was to have various forces contribute resources and scriptures to establish the Eastern Immortal Mountain, then the current joint conquest is the second step of uniting as one.

Even after taking the first step, many forces are still willing to take the second step.

After all, there are too many outstanding young people with special physiques studying on Donglai Immortal Mountain. If the Ruthless Ones wipe them all out, the younger generation of the major forces in the Eastern Wilderness will be cut off!

Even if it's just to avoid that, they have a duty to eradicate the ruthless lineage completely.

Didn't you see this Senior Pan?

The fact that such a highly respected and powerful figure is actually a henchman of the Ruthless Clan shows that the Ruthless Clan is showing signs of revival!

Moreover, their methods of concealment are now more subtle than before. Apart from the core members, their peripheral members no longer practice the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, making them even more difficult to identify than before.

Now that Lin Xiu has obtained information about the Ruthless Clan from that rogue cultivator, he should naturally take the opportunity to eradicate them completely!

"I've finished speaking. Which forces are willing to lend a hand?"

Lin Xiu smiled slightly and looked down at the various forces below.

"this........"

"Is anyone going? I'm a rogue cultivator now, so I shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing, right?"

"That's right. I heard that during the last joint purge of the Ruthless Clan, the Emperor-level forces in the Eastern Wilderness all obtained some of the Ruthless Clan's inheritance. Now they're doing this again. Could it be that they're repeating the same old tricks?"

"Hmph! If you won't go, I will! I trust Immortal Lin's character!"

"Ahem, I think it would be better to see how the forces with imperial weapons respond first."

The enthusiasm of independent cultivators and forces with weak foundations is not very high.

Although they are the group most harmed by the Ruthless Clan, but... who knows how deeply the Ruthless Clan is hiding?

Unlike those imperial families, they didn't have such a large fortune to squander.

If the ruthless lineage becomes too powerful, any rash attack will only result in their life force being drained and them dying without a burial place.

These people's concerns are quite valid.

But these people's concerns are both valid and unlikely.

Because there are far too many imperial clans in the Eastern Wilderness that have colluded with Lin Xiu, there is simply no way they won't take action.

.......

"I am willing to go to Yaochi," said the Queen Mother of the West first.

"The Ji family seconds this proposal," the Ji family's Holy Lord followed closely behind.

"The Jiang family is also willing to contribute," the Jiang family patriarch said, glancing at Jiang Taixu.

"The Feng family is willing to go!"

"The entire Tai Xuan Sect is willing to obey the orders of the Supreme Holy Lord!" the Tai Xuan Sect Leader declared loudly.

"My Great Yan..."

"I am one of the Four Symbols..."

"I, Yao Guang... naturally, will not shirk my duty!"

Although the Holy Lord of Yaoguang hesitated for a moment, he finally gave his opinion.

His hesitation was certainly not for Lin Xiu's benefit. He had long hoped that Lin Xiu could eradicate the Ruthless Man's lineage, and now that he had learned that Lin Xiu was the Dao Lord, he was naturally overjoyed.
