Elder Wang’s gaze was frigid as he stared at Lin Yun, a raging fire burning in his heart. Normally, he was too busy searching for life-extending Spirit Grass to bother with the affairs of servant disciples. But who would have thought that today, Lin Yun would actually dare to kill a Three-Stars Steward.

In truth, no one knew that besides feeling utterly disgraced, another reason for Elder Wang’s fury was that Boss Tang had been helping him search for Spirit Grass. Moreover, Boss Tang had given him many gifts in the past, including some Elixirs that could prolong his life.

Although the Elixirs Boss Tang had given him weren’t particularly precious, they were still useful to Elder Wang. His own life was already short; if he didn’t take these life-prolonging Elixirs, he would probably die even faster.

"Little bastard, I’ll give you a chance to end your own life. Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead today," Elder Wang roared.

Remaining seated calmly in his chair, Lin Yun showed no fear of this so-called Elder Wang. From the moment he killed the man, Lin Yun had anticipated this exact situation.

’This man is only at the Fifth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. He might practice the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills of Flawless Palace, making his Combat Power stronger than those at the Primordial Ocean Realm in Yanhuang Country, but so what? With Little Ape’s help, I can still kill him.’

At that moment, Little Ape darted out from Lin Yun’s robes and perched on his shoulder. Its crimson eyes, glinting with killing intent, fixed on Elder Wang.

That a mere servant disciple was completely ignoring his words made Elder Wang seethe. "Good, good, good. Little bastard, since you insist, I will personally send you on your way today."

As he spoke, fluctuations of Elemental Power appeared around Elder Wang’s body, and he thrust a palm straight at Lin Yun. Facing the attack, Lin Yun used Inch Step to skillfully evade it. In an instant, the spot where Lin Yun had been sitting was completely obliterated by the palm strike.

Having missed Lin Yun with his first strike, Elder Wang could now see that Lin Yun’s Cultivation was at the Qi Sea Realm Eighth Layer. However, since he himself was at the Fifth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm, he wasn’t afraid. Although he was somewhat surprised, he didn’t take it to heart.

Elder Wang attacked relentlessly while Lin Yun dodged continuously. Soon, they had fought their way from the main hall into the courtyard. Reaching the center of the yard, Lin Yun stopped and calmly met Elder Wang’s gaze.

"Little bastard, why’ve you stopped running? Let’s see where you can run to today," Elder Wang said coldly, his face etched with killing intent as he glared at Lin Yun.

"I don’t need to run to deal with you," Lin Yun replied without a trace of fear. "Now I finally understand why the servant disciple area is so corrupt and foul. It turns out you’re the source of it all."

As soon as Lin Yun finished speaking, Little Ape, who had been perched on his shoulder, instantly grew to the size of a man. Staring at the Evil Qi radiating from Little Ape, Elder Wang’s eyes narrowed. He had never seen a Demon Beast like this before.

"So, you have quite the Demon Beast, little bastard," said Elder Wang. "But even with this animal’s help, you won’t escape my grasp today."

With that, Elder Wang charged at Lin Yun again, his palm emanating a dense glow. It was clear he intended to kill Lin Yun with a single strike.

"Hmph, an old coot with one foot in the grave, still committing so many wicked deeds. I’m afraid you’re the one who’s going to die today." No longer dodging, Lin Yun and Little Ape advanced on Elder Wang in perfect coordination, one from the left and one from the right.

"Sharp-tongued little bastard!" The two traded insults as they clashed.

Elder Wang was also at the Middle Stage of the Primordial Ocean Realm, but his strength was indeed greater than others of the same stage from the Yanhuang Royal Family. This was all thanks to his Cultivation Technique and Martial Skills.

As an Elder of Flawless Palace, the Cultivation Technique and Martial Skills Elder Wang practiced were far more profound than those of the Royal Family, which was why his strength surpassed others at the Middle Stage of the Primordial Ocean Realm from the Royal Family.

"Purple Mist Seal!" With a furious roar, Elder Wang rose into the air and thrust his palm down at Lin Yun. Following his shout, a violet-gold Elemental Power Handprint descended upon Lin Yun.

The Purple Mist Seal was a signature Martial Skill of Flawless Palace, an Earth Level, Upper Tier technique of immense power. Nearly every Elder in Flawless Palace had studied it.

However, the Purple Mist Seal was not so easy to practice. To this day, Elder Wang had still not comprehended its True Intent.

"Hmph. Thunderfire Bombardment." Wielding the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, Lin Yun directly unleashed Thunderfire Bombardment against the descending Purple Mist Seal.

Since he had not comprehended its True Intent, Elder Wang’s Purple Mist Seal could not unleash its full power. The two Martial Skills collided violently, and after a few moments, both slowly dissipated.

The group of Two-Stars Stewards watching from a distance were now all thanking their lucky stars they hadn’t interfered. Lin Yun’s strength was simply beyond their imagination.

’Who was Elder Wang? An Elder of Flawless Palace, a powerhouse at the Fifth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm! They never imagined Lin Yun could actually fight him to a standstill.’

’Even with Little Ape’s help, this was still a testament to Lin Yun’s strength. He was facing an expert at the Fifth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm head-on and wasn’t at a disadvantage.’

Elder Wang’s face turned livid that Lin Yun had met his Purple Mist Seal head-on. He had completely underestimated the boy, and the killing intent in his heart grew even stronger.

’I am an Elder of Flawless Palace, and he’s nothing but a servant disciple. If I can’t even take him down today, how will I ever show my face again? I’ll be utterly disgraced!’

"Good, good, good! Little bastard, you brought this on yourself! If I don’t tear you limb from limb today, I’ll renounce my position as an Elder of Flawless Palace!" Cursing furiously, Elder Wang drew his Spirit Soldier—a Short Blade.

"Hmph, you disrespectful old fool," Lin Yun retorted mercilessly. "It would be better if you weren’t a Flawless Palace Elder. You’re a complete disgrace to the sect."

The battle between them was incredibly fierce. With Little Ape’s support, Lin Yun had no fear of Elder Wang. Lin Yun launched a frontal assault while Little Ape constantly harassed the elder, making it impossible for him to defend effectively.

After a full hundred exchanges, to the astonishment of the onlookers, Elder Wang—an expert at the Fifth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm—was slowly losing the upper hand. He had already been struck by several of Little Ape’s punches, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

His time was already running out. Now, being injured by Little Ape—though not severely—only accelerated the drain on Elder Wang’s Life Force. After all, at his age, any injury was tantamount to death, because he had no excess Life Force to spare.

"You old fossil, let me send you to your grave today!" Pressing his advantage, Lin Yun’s attacks grew even fiercer. He didn’t care what Elder Wang’s status was; he already had a plan to deal with the aftermath.

Pinned down by Lin Yun’s assault, Elder Wang’s face was a mixture of fury and terror. He was afraid of death, but he couldn’t run. Otherwise, how could he ever show his face in Flawless Palace again?
