Chapter 47 — The Monster Outside

Chapter 47: Chapter 47 — The Monster Outside

The moment Lin Hao finished speaking, Lin Wei looked at him with confusion.

"Pests?"

Lin Hao nodded casually.

"Yes."

He picked up his teacup.

"Those six families and sects that have been camping outside our territory."

Lin Wei blinked.

"How long have they been there?"

Lin Hao took a sip of tea.

"About a year."

Silence.

The entire hall froze.

"A year?!"

Lin Wei’s eyes widened.

The core elders exchanged stunned glances.

Lin Jian couldn’t help asking,

"They’ve been outside for an entire year?"

Lin Hao nodded.

"Yes."

Lin Feng’s expression became strange.

"Those people are really persistent."

Lin Rui shook his head.

"To think they actually waited outside for twelve months..."

Lin Tao laughed.

"They must really believe something valuable is hidden inside our territory."

Lin Mei smiled faintly.

"After waiting for so long, they probably think the Lin Clan will eventually surrender."

Lin Hao placed his teacup down.

"They’ve waited long enough."

His eyes moved toward Lin Wei.

"Go outside."

Lin Wei immediately stepped forward.

"Yes, Ancestor."

"Make them leave."

"Understood."

Lin Wei turned around.

But before he could take another step—

"Wait."

Lin Wei stopped.

He turned back.

Lin Hao looked at him calmly.

"Don’t kill them."

Lin Wei nodded.

"Understood."

"Just make them afraid."

A faint smile appeared on Lin Wei’s face.

"Yes, Ancestor."

He turned around again.

This time, he walked toward the white fog.

The moment Lin Wei stepped into the fog, his surroundings changed.

The dense mist slowly parted before him.

He continued walking.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Soon, the white fog disappeared behind him.

Lin Wei stopped.

He looked around.

For the first time in a year, he was truly standing outside the Lin Clan’s territory.

He looked toward the distant mountains.

Then toward the enormous encampments surrounding the territory.

There were countless cultivators.

Massive tents.

Flying vessels.

Formation platforms.

Flags belonging to powerful families and sects fluttered in the wind.

Lin Wei’s eyes moved across everything.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"So this is the outside world."

For the past year, he had spent most of his time inside the new Lin Clan.

He had cultivated.

He had watched the younger generation grow.

He had broken through into the Peak Mahayana Realm.

But he hadn’t truly seen the outside world.

Now...

He finally had.

Lin Wei took another step forward.

At that moment—

An elder from the Gu Family suddenly noticed him.

The elder’s eyes widened.

"Someone is coming out!"

His shout immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding cultivators.

"What?"

"Someone came out?"

"From the Lin Clan?"

Cultivators rushed out of their tents.

The six camps instantly became active.

The leaders of the six forces also appeared.

The Gu Family Patriarch.

The Jiang Family Patriarch.

The Ye Family Patriarch, Ye Tianxiong.

The Patriarch of the Celestial River Sect.

The Patriarch of the Primordial Sword Sect.

And the Sect Master of the Nine Heavens Sect.

All six looked toward the figure walking out of the mist.

Then—

They frowned.

One person.

Just one person.

The Gu Family Patriarch narrowed his eyes.

"Only one?"

The Jiang Family Patriarch sneered.

"It seems the Lin Clan finally understands that they cannot hide forever."

The Ye Family Patriarch, Ye Tianxiong, laughed coldly.

"After hiding behind that formation for an entire year, they finally sent someone out."

Another elder laughed.

"Perhaps they’re here to surrender."

The surrounding cultivators also began whispering.

"Who is he?"

"Is he an elder of the Lin Clan?"

"He doesn’t look particularly old."

"Could he be some messenger?"

Nobody recognized Lin Wei.

Nobody knew his position within the Lin Clan.

And nobody knew his cultivation.

To them, he was simply one person who had finally walked out of the mysterious territory.

The Gu Family Patriarch stepped forward.

"Who are you?"

Lin Wei calmly looked at him.

He didn’t answer immediately.

The Patriarch frowned.

"Why aren’t you answering?"

Lin Wei finally spoke.

"You’ve been waiting outside our territory for a year."

His voice was calm.

"And now you’re asking who I am?"

Ye Tianxiong laughed.

"So you admit you’re from the Lin Clan."

Lin Wei nodded.

"Yes."

Ye Tianxiong crossed his arms.

"Then go back and tell the people inside."

His voice became arrogant.

"Tell them the six 7-Star forces have waited long enough."

"The territory you’re occupying isn’t something an unranked family like yours deserves."

Several elders immediately nodded.

The Jiang Family Patriarch added,

"If the Lin Clan is willing to hand over the ancient inheritance inside that territory, perhaps we can spare your lives."

Lin Wei stared at him.

"Ancient inheritance?"

The Patriarch smiled.

"Don’t pretend you don’t know."

"The Spiritual Qi inside your territory is extraordinary."

"There must be something hidden inside."

Lin Wei remained silent.

The Primordial Sword Sect Master stepped forward.

"Hand it over."

The Nine Heavens Sect Master also spoke.

"Otherwise, the six forces will eventually enter by force."

Lin Wei looked at the six leaders.

Then he slowly smiled.

"Is that so?"

Ye Tianxiong’s expression became cold.

"Do you think this is a joke?"

"No."

Lin Wei shook his head.

"I simply find your confidence interesting."

The surrounding cultivators became quiet.

Lin Wei took one step forward.

Then—

He released his aura.

BOOM!

The world trembled.

The sky seemed to darken in an instant.

A terrifying pressure descended from above.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi exploded into chaos.

Mountains trembled.

The ground cracked.

The banners of the six forces were instantly blown backward.

Countless cultivators dropped to their knees.

Some couldn’t even breathe.

Others stared upward in absolute terror.

"What..."

"What’s happening?"

The six leaders’ expressions changed.

Their faces became pale.

Their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

The pressure continued spreading.

Ten thousand meters.

Twenty thousand meters.

Fifty thousand meters.

The entire encampment was covered by the terrifying aura.

Then—

The Gu Family Patriarch’s eyes widened.

His voice trembled.

"Mahayana..."

The Jiang Family Patriarch stared at Lin Wei in disbelief.

"How..."

The Ye Family Patriarch’s face turned completely pale.

"Peak Mahayana Realm..."

Silence.

Absolute silence.

The six 7-Star forces had spent an entire year surrounding the Lin Clan.

They had always believed that the Lin Clan was merely an unranked family that had stumbled upon an extraordinary opportunity.

They had never imagined...

That the Lin Clan possessed a Peak Mahayana Realm expert.

The strongest cultivators of their six forces were only at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm .

Yet the person standing before them had already crossed the final mortal barrier.

He stood at the absolute peak of the Mortal World.

One realm.

A single major realm.

But the difference between Tribulation Transcendence and Mahayana was like heaven and earth.

The six leaders finally understood.

They had made a terrible mistake.

Lin Wei calmly looked at them.

"You’ve been waiting outside our territory for a year."

His voice remained peaceful.

"And this is the first time you’ve actually seen someone from the Lin Clan."

Nobody dared answer.

Lin Wei continued.

"You should have left when you had the chance."

One of the Gu Family elders swallowed hard.

"Senior..."

Lin Wei’s eyes moved toward him.

The elder immediately lowered his head.

He didn’t dare speak again.

The arrogance that had filled the six camps only moments ago had completely disappeared.

Lin Wei slowly withdrew part of his aura.

The pressure became slightly lighter.

Several cultivators immediately gasped for air.

Lin Wei looked across the six forces.

"Leave."

Two simple words.

Nobody moved.

Not because they wanted to stay.

Because they were too frightened to move.

Lin Wei’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"I said..."

"Leave."

This time, everyone reacted.

The six forces immediately began withdrawing.

Formation platforms were dismantled.

Tents were packed.

Flying vessels were prepared.

Nobody dared argue.

Nobody dared threaten the Lin Clan.

Nobody even dared look directly at Lin Wei for too long.

But just as the six forces began retreating—

Lin Wei raised his hand.

"Wait."

Every single person froze.

The six leaders turned around.

Their hearts immediately tightened.

What does this monster want now?

Lin Wei looked at them calmly.

"The Lin Clan will soon host an auction."

The six leaders stared at him.

An auction?

Lin Wei continued.

"It will be called the Ten Thousand Realms Auction ."

The name immediately entered everyone’s minds.

"The families and sects represented here may receive invitations."

Lin Wei’s expression remained calm.

"When you receive yours..."

He paused.

"Make sure you come."

Nobody understood why.

Nobody dared ask.

Lin Wei simply turned around.

He walked toward the white fog.

His figure slowly disappeared into the mist.

The six forces remained frozen.

For a long time, nobody spoke.

Finally, the Gu Family Patriarch released a slow breath.

"What exactly is the Lin Clan?"

Nobody answered.

They didn’t know.

And that uncertainty frightened them more than anything else.

News of what had happened spread rapidly.

The six 7-Star forces had spent an entire year surrounding an unknown territory.

Then a single Lin Clan cultivator had walked out.

One person.

Only one.

Yet the moment he released his aura, the six forces were forced to retreat.

The news spread from one cultivator to another.

Then from one city to another.

Soon, the entire Azure River City was discussing the mysterious Lin Clan.

"The Lin Clan has a Peak Mahayana expert!"

"Impossible!"

"It’s true!"

"I heard the six 7-Star forces didn’t even dare fight him!"

"Who exactly is the Lin Clan?"

Nobody knew.

But another piece of information spread alongside the rumors.

The mysterious family would soon host an auction.

Its name was even more mysterious.

The Ten Thousand Realms Auction.

The name spread throughout Azure River City.

Then beyond it.

And slowly...

The entire Azure Cloud Continent began hearing about the mysterious auction that was about to take place.
