The person who came was a grey-robed young man. The moment Wang Lin saw him, he recognized that this person was a brother of his from the same clan. Back then, he joined the Heng Yue Sect with him. However, due to his outstanding talent, the sect took the initiative to accept him as a disciple. Wang Lin couldn't pass the test and committed suicide, which was why the Heng Yue Sect reluctantly accepted him.
Later, the Heng Yue Sect was attacked by the Xuan Dao Sect's Yuanying ancestor, Pu Beizi. Many Heng Yue Sect disciples joined the Xuan Dao Sect, including this person.
After that, the two of them never saw each other again.
Later, Wang Lin's life took a turn. He entered Lin Feng's tutelage and completely bid farewell to his previous life.
Because he had stayed in the Mysterious Heaven Time Cave for a long time, everything that happened in the past was something that happened many years ago to Wang Lin.
So when Wang Lin saw this person again today, although he immediately recognized him, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity, as if it had been a lifetime.
The grey-robed young man also looked at Wang Lin in shock. To him, Wang Lin was even more unfamiliar. From his perspective, the two of them had only been separated for a little more than two years, but Wang Lin's body had undoubtedly undergone earth-shattering changes.
The skinny young man who had extremely poor talent and couldn't be accepted by the Heng Yue Sect no matter how hard he tried and had to commit suicide to force the sect to accept him was now a powerful young man.
The most eye-catching thing was the vast amount of magic power that Wang Lin had, which shocked his former companion.
Wang Lin, who had become a joke in the entire Heng Yue Sect, was now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, while he, who was considered a genius, was still at the Qi Condensation stage. Facing this scene, the grey-robed young man felt like he was in a dream.
Although there was a sense of absurdity in his heart, Wang Lin's will was extremely stable and wasn't affected at all. He said, "Wang Zhuo? Long time no see. How have you been? "
The grey-clothed young man, Wang Zhuo, opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, the huge contrast between reality and his memories created a sense of absurdity that made him unable to make a sound in the end.
After the opening ceremony in the Sand Continent, the names of the Xuanmen Tianzong disciples under Lin Feng were basically known to the world. Wang Zhuo had long heard of the name Wang Lin. He had also suspected that this Wang Lin might be that Wang Lin, his brother from the same clan?
However, he had always felt that it was impossible. Who would have thought that the reality would be right in front of him, making him feel like he had been slapped in the face.
"He's obviously a piece of trash with no aptitude for cultivation. How did he become a Foundation Establishment cultivator in such a short time?" Wang Zhuo felt bitter in his heart, "Could it be that Xuanmen Tianzong is really so powerful? That the legendary Xuanmen Sect Master actually has the ability to turn stone into gold and turn something rotten into something magical?"
At this time, a young man in black walked over and looked coldly at Wang Lin. He said carelessly, "Wang Zhuo, is this the Wang Lin you mentioned? Is he really your brother from the same clan?"
Wang Zhuo said, "Yes, seventeenth young master. He is my brother from the same clan, Wang Lin."
Wang Lin raised his head and looked at the young man in black. It was as if he was facing an unsheathed blade, sharp and full of killing intent.
"Huo Family disciple?" Wang Lin understood. The Huo Family was the strongest power in the Great Qin Dynasty's southern border. All the other powers in the cultivation world had to look up to them. The Xuan Dao Sect was no exception. No matter how strong Pu Beizi was, he had to tuck his tail between his legs in front of the Huo Family.
After Wang Zhuo joined the Xuan Dao Sect, for some reason, he was recognized by the Huo Family and was now an outer disciple of the Huo Family.
This kind of situation was common for large cultivation families like the Huo Family and the Yu Family. While maintaining the unity of the core bloodline, they also constantly recruited talented people into the family to serve as their outer forces.
While the main branch was strong, the branches and leaves were also as lush as possible to absorb new blood and ensure the family's prosperity.
Wang Lin looked at Wang Zhuo and shook his head slightly. In his memory, his brother from the same clan had been full of mettle in the past, and what a proud person he had been.
However, now that he was following behind the Huo Clan, his pride and sharpness had all disappeared.
Following the Huo family would allow him to obtain cultivation resources and legacies that were even better than the Xuan Dao Sect and countless times better than the Heng Yue Sect. However, the price he had to pay was that he had lost all of his edge.
Perhaps only Wang Zhuo could clearly weigh the gains and losses.
Seeing Wang Lin shake his head, Wang Zhuo's eyes flashed and he lowered his head. His fists gradually clenched, but he still didn't say a word.
On the other hand, Huo Chen, the young man in black whom Wang Zhuo respectfully referred to as the Seventeenth Young Master, raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Lin with a cold smile. "Looking at the state of your body, I'm afraid your real age is close to middle-aged."
"Wang Zhuo said that the two of you were separated for only two years. That means you've been cultivating in a grotto-heaven that can accelerate time for the past two years." Huo Chen smiled with a somewhat disdainful expression. "Ten years or even decades of cultivation and you're only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment."
"Rumor has it that the disciples of the Xuan Sect's leader are all monstrous and extraordinary. Looks like that's all there is to it. In the end, rumors are just rumors!"
The killing intent and magic power on his entire body was released, and instantly, the space within a radius of a few tens of meters was completely enveloped by an extremely oppressive and despairing aura of slaughter and death, causing one to be unable to breathe. Ordinary people that didn't possess any cultivation in the Dao would practically die upon coming into contact with this killing intent.
The release of Huo Chen's aura also revealed his current cultivation level. Late stage Foundation Establishment, Pill Cauldron realm.
Although Wang Lin couldn't see the grade of his pill cauldron, from the purity of its magic power, it shouldn't be a low grade.
Huo Chen's actual age was only in his early twenties. To be able to condense a pill cauldron at this age, even in the Huo Clan, he would be one of the best. No wonder he was so arrogant.
Wang Lin was the main target of Huo Chen's killing intent, but he seemed to not feel it at all. He looked at Huo Chen calmly.
Huo Chen's thick eyebrows raised and the cold smile on his face became more and more serious. He was extremely experienced in combat and could naturally see that Wang Lin wasn't faking it. Wang Lin really wasn't moved by his killing intent. But the more it was like this, the more Huo Chen wanted to make a move.
"Seventeenth, what's going on?" A cold and overbearing voice suddenly cut in. Following that, a man in black who looked similar to Huo Chen appeared. However, his expression was even more stern and cold.
Seeing this man in black, Wang Zhuo deeply lowered his head. Huo Chen also restrained his sharpness and said respectfully, "Second Brother."
There was only one possibility that could make the bloodthirsty and combative Huo Clan's younger generation calm down. That was, the person who came was much stronger than him. So strong that if he dared to make a move, he would be courting death.
And this man in black was an expert who could make Huo Chen as obedient as a little white rabbit in an instant.
The Huo Clan's second young master, Huo Ming.
He just stood there without doing anything. His magic power and killing intent weren't revealed in the slightest, but it made the surrounding people feel despair, as if they were in a hell of slaughter.
Wang Lin looked at Huo Ming and slightly frowned. "Golden Elixir period. Moreover, it's the late stage of Golden Elixir. He's only one step away from achieving Yuanying cultivation."
Because of the lifespan of cultivators, there would be a big difference in the time they gave birth. Brothers of the same age might have grandchildren, while some were still single. Therefore, among brothers of the same generation, there might be a big difference in age.
Including the time he spent cultivating in the Huo Clan's accelerated time grotto-heaven, Huo Ming was already more than 100 years old. He was much older than Huo Chen.
However, this wasn't the reason why he was ranked second while Huo Chen was ranked 17th. There were also brothers of the same generation who were older than Huo Ming.
In the Huo Clan, the ranking of brothers of the same generation was completely determined by their strength. The stronger they were, the higher their ranking would be.
Facing Huo Ming, Wang Lin felt pressured.
"Third Junior Brother, are you reuniting with an old friend?"
A purple-robed scholar suddenly walked slowly into the field and stood beside Wang Lin. It was Zhu Yi.
Seeing Zhu Yi, Huo Ming's eyes lit up. His whole body was overflowing with killing intent, which erupted like a tide.
His eruption startled the entire Yuzhou City.
However, Zhu Yi, who was facing him directly, didn't seem to feel anything. He still stood there with a calm expression and smiled calmly. "Someone from the Huo Clan? Why, do you want to have a match here? "
"If that's the case, I'll keep you company." His tone was calm and natural, as if he was just chatting with someone. He didn't take Huo Ming's suffocating killing intent seriously at all.
Huo Ming stared at Zhu Yi and muttered a few times before saying coldly, "From Xuanmen Tianzong, I was originally only interested in your eldest senior brother, Xiao Yan. Now it seems that you're also worth my time."
Zhu Yi raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Unfortunately, we're actually not that interested in you."
Huo Ming wasn't angry when he heard that, but his killing intent became more violent. "Very well, even if it's the ancestor's ban, I don't care anymore. I'll kill you first and then go to the ancestor to receive my punishment."
Huo Chen, who was next to him, sneered. "Fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp. Second Brother has found his opponent, so I'll play with you."
Wang Lin's expression didn't change. He said calmly, "As you wish."
Huo Chen sneered. "Do you think I'm talking about you? Heh, you're not qualified. I'm talking about the one behind you. "
Wang Lin's expression was calm. He naturally knew that Yue Hongyan was standing behind him and had arrived with Zhu Yi.
After the red-haired, red-eyed Yue Hongyan arrived, she hadn't said a word. She maintained her respect for Zhu Yi and Wang Lin and let them handle the situation.
However, with her fiery temper, it was fine if others didn't provoke her, but if they took the initiative to come to her, she wouldn't back down at all. Her body was as unrestrained as a storm and as blazing as a flame, and she directly pushed back Huo Chen's killing intent and mana.
Huo Chen's eyes narrowed. "Is she really in the late stage of Foundation Establishment? She's not even 20 years old, right? "
The two sides were facing each other and a battle was about to break out. Suddenly, two voices came from the sky at the same time.
One was the cold voice of the Huo family's Essence Soul Patriarch, Huo Xiu. "Huo Ming, Huo Chen, get back here, or all of you will die!"
The other voice belonged to Lin Feng. He was calm and indifferent. "You'll have a chance to fight during the Desolate Sea Assembly."
Since the two big shots had spoken at the same time, there was naturally no way they would fight.
Huo Ming and Huo Chen exchanged glances with deep regret in their eyes. Huo Ming snorted and flew into the sky without saying a word.
"How many of your seniors and juniors are already in the golden elixir period? You're still in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. " Before Huo Chen left, he turned and sneered at Wang Lin. "I heard that the red-haired girl beside you joined the sect later than you did. She's already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and you're still there? All your years of cultivation must have gone to waste, right? "
Amidst his maniacal laughter, Huo Chen turned and left with Wang Zhuo.
Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan's expressions darkened at the same time. Zhu Yi was about to make Huo Chen stay. When had the disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong ever been ridiculed like this?
"Master said that there will be plenty of opportunities during the Desolate Sea Assembly." Wang Lin stopped Zhu Yi. As he watched Huo Chen leave, his gaze became colder and colder.
