Nangong Yan really wanted to resist, but she didn't dare to act blindly without thinking. This was because she knew that the gap between them and Jian Xiaoyao was too big.
Even if they joined forces with the entire Southern Summer King Country, or even the entire Thousand Kingdoms Territory, they still wouldn't be a match for Jian Xiaoyao.
"Are you still not willing to let this old man see her?" Jian Xiaoyao coldly snorted and suddenly said to Elder Excalibur, "Old Five, go outside and kill …"
As soon as the word 'kill' came out, Nangong Yan immediately raised her hand and said while clenching her teeth, "I'll bring her!"
In the end, Nangong Yan still compromised. The others clenched their teeth and wanted to curse at Jian Xiaoyao. Unfortunately, this would only anger Jian Xiaoyao. After all, their lives, as well as the lives of the entire Southern Summer King Country, were firmly in the hands of Jian Xiaoyao.
As long as Jian Xiaoyao gave the order, all of them would die here.
After a short moment, Nangong Yan brought Lin Xia in.
When he saw this five-year-old girl, Jian Xiaoyao's eyes showed a rare trace of gentleness.
He didn't do anything to Lin Xia. Instead, he released his divine sense and examined Lin Xia's body. Soon after, he let out a light sound of surprise and said, "What a strong martial soul … It seems like your future won't be simple."
Lin Xia was still young, and her martial soul hadn't completely awakened yet. It was only in its embryonic form, so Jian Xiaoyao didn't know what her martial soul was.
However, one thing was certain. Lin Xia's martial soul was extremely strong. After it completely awakened, it would at least be above the Saint rank, and might even be a God rank martial soul.
"Like father, like son …" Jian Xiaoyao sighed. Soon after, he looked at Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan in confusion. He had been puzzled about something for a long time, so he asked, "Is Lin Yun really your biological son?"
Lin Tianyang and Yang Zhaochan remained silent. As parents, they knew very well whether or not Lin Yun was their son.
However, Lin Tianyang always felt that Lin Yun was different from when he was young. His personality had changed drastically, as if he was a completely different person.
"I've always thought that Lin Yun's strength was due to the unique bloodline of your Lin Family. However, from what I see today, both of you have very ordinary aptitudes. Even to our Sacred Alliance, it's not an exaggeration to call them trash. " Jian Xiaoyao murmured, "But this little girl's innate talent is not the slightest bit inferior to a direct disciple. The uniqueness of her bloodline is not without reason."
Lin Yun's talent was truly too great. The Sacred Alliance had investigated almost everything that had happened to Lin Yun ever since he had been born on the Martial Heaven Continent.
"It's a pity. If this little girl was a disciple of my Sacred Alliance, her future would be limitless." Jian Xiaoyao shook his head and sighed bitterly. Currently, the Sacred Alliance was in a situation where there was a shortage of talent.
Among the younger generation, although there were many direct disciples, in the Eastern Continent, perhaps only Jian Zizai could compete with the top disciples of the Four Holy Lands.
However, whether it was the disciples of the Holy Lands or Jian Zizai, compared to Lin Yun, they were still worlds apart. One was in the sky, and the other was on the ground.
To be able to have strength comparable to Wu Zun in his early twenties, and what was even rarer was that he still had such spirit. Perhaps in the entire Divine Realm, it would be difficult to have such a person.
"Sect Master, he's here!" At the same time, the Fifth Elder of Excalibur suddenly said.
Nangong Yan and the others turned their heads to look outside the palace. Jian Xiaoyao came to the Fifth Elder's side and ordered, "Look after this group of people. Keep their lives, they might be useful, especially that little girl."
Lin Yun always did things unexpectedly. Although Jian Xiaoyao was confident that he could defeat Lin Yun and even kill him, he did not know how Lin Yun would perform in the process of the battle. Therefore, he had to prepare for two eventualities – to keep the lives of Nangong Yan and the others alive.
First, as long as these people did not die, Lin Yun would definitely not leave.
Second, even if Lin Yun would rather die than submit, or if he escaped, he could still force Prince Namgong and the others to reveal the whereabouts of Tu Shenzong. At the very least, he would be able to obtain the method to create the Demon Palace Guards.
As for Lin Xia, Jian Xiaoyao wanted to bring her back to the Sacred Alliance. After all, he had a feeling that when Lin Xia grew up, she might become an unpredictable "Demon God" like Lin Yun.
It was better to firmly grasp such a monstrous talent in his hands.
As expected, an army could be seen advancing towards the palace in the distance. Leading them were Lin Yun, Lin Ying, and the Queen Of The South Seas.
"Just guard this place well." Jian Xiaoyao formed a seal with his right hand, then released a ray of light that fell on the palace.
In an instant, the palace's door was covered with a layer of light, as if it was a barrier, isolating the palace from the outside world.
"King! It's them! "
"Southern Summer King, hurry up and save them."
"Yeah, just like how we killed that guy last time. Kill them all!"
The soldiers roared angrily, ready to go.
However, what Lin Yun said next completely dumbfounded them.
"All of you, retreat. There's nothing else for you to do here." Lin Yun understood the situation. Other than Jian Xiaoyao, there were still two Level-5 Wu Sheng Elders. Even if the Southern Summer King's soldiers came out in full force, they would still not be able to take down the palace. This would only increase the number of unnecessary casualties.
"King …" The soldiers did not understand, but Lin Yun did not say anything else.
"All of you wait here. No matter what happens, do not make a move." Lin Yun instructed Lin Ying and the Queen Of The South Seas. Then, he took a big step and arrived at the top of the stairs.
On the 81st step, Jian Xiaoyao was standing outside the palace with a faint smile on his face.
Lin Yun was very calm. When he saw Nangong Yan and the others in the palace, he heaved a sigh of relief.
This was a blessing in disguise!
Fortunately, the Sect Master who came this time was Jian Xiaoyao and not Wei Yan.
If it was Wei Yan, he would definitely not let Prince Namgong and the others live. Perhaps before Lin Yun returned, Wei Yan would have bathed the entire Southern Summer King City in blood.
Lin Yun knew what Jian Xiaoyao was trying to do. He was worried that he would not appear after killing Prince Namgong and the others.
Keeping Prince Namgong and the others alive was the only way to force Lin Yun to appear.
"Sect Master Lin, it's been a long time. It's really hard to see you." Jian Xiaoyao sneered.
"The shameless methods of the Sacred Alliance … surprised me," Lin Yun replied coldly.
"Shameless …" Jian Xiaoyao snorted and a formless aura instantly burst forth from his body. An enormous pressure came crashing down like a mountain.
In an instant, everyone in the Southern Summer Imperial City felt like they were suffocating.
