Chapter 339: Upper realm scion (2)

Lin Ao didn't look at this palm that was heading towards him, but rather he had been looking at Lin Fan who had just come in.

He took a deep look at Lin Fan before revealing a trace of surprise in his eyes.

For once, he actually couldn't see through Lin Fan's cultivation.

This meant that there was no need for him to worry since he would finally be able to protect what was important to him, his family!

Lin Ao took a single step forward and slashed out with his hand like a sword.

The moment he did, his aura suddenly began to increase. It continued to surge and grow until he was in the peak Platinum Realm.

With his hand cutting through the air, there was sword energy that gathered around it before being sent out as a slash that landed right on Liao Ping's palm.

Liao Ping was surprised to see this, but then that surprise turned into shock when he felt the power that was contained in Lin Ao's attack.

At first, the two of them had been even, but after time passed, Liao Ping found that he was unable to take Lin Ao's attack. It was an inch at first, but then he was slowly pushed back as the sword energy slashed through his palm. It created a bloody line in his palm as he was pushed back several steps, while a sliver of blood came out of the corner of his mouth.

It was clear that he hadn't just suffered external injuries from this attack, he had also suffered internal injuries and they didn't seem light.

When Liao Ping stabilized himself, the way he looked at Lin Ao had changed.

Lin Ao had just attacked with his bare hands, not even holding a sword as he released his blade of laws. If that was the case, just how terrifying would he have been if he actually had used a sword artifact?

It was clear that they weren't on the same level at all.

Moreover, it seemed like Lin Ao had hidden himself deeply, lying about losing his cultivation, having hid his powers quite well.

It seemed like he would have to pull out his trump card today or he wouldn't be able to do anything.

The old man who had been behind Liao Ping was about to make a move, but the Lin Family ancestor came forward to stop him, saying with a smile on his face, "Brother Liao, this is a matter between the younger generation. I don't think it is appropriate for us to make a move."

But then the old man also revealed a smile as he just stood there without saying a thing.

The Lin Family ancestor immediately felt that something was off.

Liao Ping revealed a smile as he looked at Lin Ao and said, "You really think that you've won with just this? Let me show you the difference between us."

Then he looked up and shouted, "Elder Yue, I ask for your help now."

As soon as he said this, there was another figure that had appeared out of thin air, landing right beside Liao Ping.

The Lin Family ancestor could feel this person's aura and immediately knitted his brows. He was about to make a move, but then he felt the life energy from behind him stopping him.

The old man surnamed Liao also said, "My apologies brother Lin, but I have to ask you to stay here for a bit."

The Lin Family ancestor still knitted his brows, but he didn't make a move as he watched the person who was called Elder Yue standing with Liao Ping.

Lin Ao clearly recognized this person as he narrowed his eyes the moment he saw who this person was.

The man called Elder Yue revealed a smile as he looked at Liao Ping and said, "Nephew Liao, just leave this to this old man."

Then when Elder Yue turned to Lin Ao, he immediately revealed a stern look, "It seems like you're still well. Where is Rou'er?"

Lin Ao looked right into his eyes before saying, "Are you worthy of calling her by that name?"

Elder Yue's eyes revealed a trace of anger as he said, "She is my niece, who else is qualified if not me to call her by that name? If it wasn't for trash like you, she wouldn't have been brought down to this filthy lower realm!"

Elder Yue didn't stop with just that, he immediately raised his palm and sent a blow out at Lin Ao, knocking him back two steps.

Judging by his aura, he was clearly in the Legendary Realm and if he had been serious, he could have easily killed Lin Ao with this attack. The fact that it only pushed Lin Ao back by two steps made it very clear that he had held back.

Even though Lin Ao had been injured, he didn't back down at all as he glared right at Elder Yue.

When Elder Yue saw that gaze, he did feel a bit of regret since he had to admit that this was an outstanding young man, but he had no choice since the circumstances of this matter were like this. So he steeled his heart and continued.

Elder Yue said in a stern voice, "Where is Rou'er? I will not ask a third time."

As he said this, he had raised his palm again, but this time the energy he had gathered was much stronger compared to before.

But before he had a chance to release this, there was someone who suddenly rushed out of the manor.

The six elders immediately turned in shock and when they saw who it was, they all tried to stop her, but not a single one of them could catch her. That was because this person actually had a cultivation in the peak Platinum Realm just as well and she wasn't injured like them.

This person was Lin Fan's mother, Yue Qingrou, who had rushed out in a matter of seconds to appear in front of Lin Ao as she said, "Uncle, stop!"

When Elder Yue saw Yue Qingrou, he put down his palm and he said in the same stern voice, "Rou'er, that's enough of your playing, it's time to come home."

Then Liao Ping said with a bright smile, "Rou'er, I'm here to take you back. I know you must have suffered in this lower realm, but you don't have to suffer any longer."

Yue Qingrou ignored both of them and turned to Lin Ao, looking over him with concern as she said, "Big brother Ao, are you alright?"

This had been how she had addressed Lin Ao when they were younger, when they were more free and this was how she addressed him when she showed her affection.

When Liao Ping heard her say this, he began to remember everything that had happened in the past and a vein popped out on his forehead.

Without any hesitation, he raised his palm again and gathered his energy as he roared out, "Lin Ao, you!"

But then in a development that no one expected, Lin Yue suddenly charged out and said, "Don't you dare hurt my parents!"

She had suddenly run out of the Lin Manor and had gone past the six elders who had been too focused on the situation in front of them that they hadn't noticed her. After all, even if Lin Yue was a genius in cultivating, she was still only on the Silver Realm, so no one had expected her to come out.

But the moment that she revealed herself, everything had changed.

Liao Ping had only been slightly angry when he heard how Yue Qingrou had addressed Lin Ao and Yue Qingrou.

This was his fiancee, the one that he had loved!

He was fine with her being living with Lin Ao in this lower realm and he was willing to move past that since he had loved her, but now they had brought out a child to show off in front of him?

Wasn't this a slap to his face?

Wasn't this putting a green hat on his head?

Even if he could accept a few things, this was not something that he could accept!

Elder Yue's face turned dark when he saw this.

He knew that this situation was as bad as it could get and if he didn't do something, this would be very bad for the Yue Family.

He glared at Yue Qingrou and said, "Rou'er, you actually dare to do something like this? What did our Yue Family raise you for?"

Yue Qingrou looked right back at him and said, "Did the Yue Family raise me or did they just raise a chip that they could trade for benefits?"

Elder Yue flew into a rage when he heard this, he had never thought that Yue Qingrou would be this unfilial!

The amount of resources the Yue Family had invested on Yue Qingrou had been enough to train several geniuses, but they had done it willingly because she had been one of the best in the Yue Family.

She had even managed to catch the eye of the Liao Family's scion, which filled the Yue Family with joy.

If they could use this marriage as a way to build an alliance with the Liao Family, it would have all been worth it!

But then she suddenly ran off with trash from this lower realm and had disgraced them all!

It was lucky that the Liao Family had chosen to forgive them for this and gave them a chance to make up for this mistake, but they never thought that Yue Qingrou would do something like this!

It seemed like the Yue Family really was doomed to be destroyed...
