The Dragon's Magic Code

Chapter 20 The Arrival of a Messenger From the Five-Spirits Sect

Luo Donghe's words were like the declaration of law. Before the audience around the arena could figure out what was going on, the soldiers of the Imperial City around them had already taken action.

Thud, thud, thud.

Dozens of people wearing golden armor appeared at the edge of the arena. The pressure they exerted was earth-shattering.

The shocked crowd quickly made way for them, retreating in a hurry for fear of getting hurt themselves.

The two griffins hovering in the sky suddenly swooped down. The moment when the metal-wood barrier closed, they landed on the arena with a boom.

The matches going on in the other two arenas had also stopped. Seven Ninth Stage of Body Tempering and three First Stage of the Foundation Realm martial artists arrived in front of Lin Yan.

They did not dare to disobey Luo Donghe's orders. Their eyes were filled with cold disdain as they looked down at Lin Yan from high above.

"Lin Yan, you have killed your comrade, Lin Tianyou. Such horrible actions mean that you have broken the rules. You will be arrested and brought to the Imperial City now."

"If you're smart, surrender and don't bother with any meaningless resistance."

Lin Yan's face was cold, and his eyes were misty. He turned to look at Luo Donghe, who he had never met, on top of the city gate.

He believed that Luo Donghe was the person behind it all.

Being Lin Qiaoer's plaything, having his Elixir Field destroyed, the Heavenly Sword Technique, and many more were all because of Luo Donghe.

Lin Yan immediately understood. His aura churned as he had become much weaker. He staggered while he stared at the city gate.

Luo Donghe was looking down at everything with the attitude of a victor.

"You must be furious, Lin Lang. After all, your son, Lin Tianyou, was essentially killed at the hands of Lin Yan."

"Even if he lives, it will be difficult for him to walk on the road of cultivation in the future."

"I understand your feelings. If you wish to kill Lin Yan, I will not stop you."

Having been given the green light by Luo Donghe, Lin Lang released his burning rage instantly.

He leapt down from the city gate, with yellow light lingering around him, fully displaying the aura of a top martial artist at the First Stage of the Foundation Realm.

Stomp, stomp, stomp.

Walking to Lin Tianyou's side, Lin Lang looked at him sorrowfully. However, Lin Tianyou was already unconscious.

"Lin Yan, you're too vicious! He is your relative from the same family. Why did you have to kill him like this?"

Lin Lang pointed at Lin Yan as he roared furiously.

"Me? Vicious?" Lin Yan smirked involuntarily in self-mockery.

"Didn't you come to the arena with the purpose of killing me from the start? It's a pity that I'm not good enough at cultivating yet."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't stop at just Lin Tianyou, or you. I'd destroy the entire Lin Family. I'd destroy it all."

"How dare you!" Lin Lang shrieked.

He finally couldn't help but clench his fists. A layer of a raging flame appeared on it, the burning heat kept surging through him.

"I'll make you pay for what you did to my son!"

As he roared, his terrifying aura exploded like thunder as he rushed toward Lin Yan.

Right then, Ye Eryi showed up in a flash. He blocked Lin Yan's path and grabbed Lin Lang with his bare hands.

Smack!

He easily took hold of Lin Lang's fist, and the flames on it were extinguished instantly. Smoke began to waft into the air.

Faced with this stranger who had suddenly appeared, Lin Lang was furious. However, the terrifying power emanating from Ye Eryi's body made him somewhat fearful.

"Who are you?! Please do not intervene with the personal grudge between the Lin Family and Lin Yan."

"Otherwise, the Lin Family and Prince Luo Donghe will never let you go."

"You won't let me go? I'm curious about what you're going to do," Ye Eryi snorted.

He clearly did not take Lin Lang seriously at all.

He released a pressure as fierce as a beast, swallowing everyone in an instant.

Near the city gate, everyone felt like they had fallen into a bottomless abyss. It was as if they were drowning in a vast sea.

Those among them with relatively weaker cultivation began to feel their bones crack. Some were unable to endure it and fell unconscious instantly.

That mountain-like pressure fell on Lin Lang's shoulder, making his pupils shrink and his heart tremble.

Even Luo Donghe at the city gate was shocked by the strange pressure and sweat formed on his forehead.

With a leap, he landed in front of Ye Eryi.

He lowered his head and politely asked, "Please advise us, senior. I am the Fifth Prince of the Yueming Kingdom, Luo Donghe. This criminal, Lin Yan, has violated the rules. We are only enforcing the law."

"Please do us a favor and let us complete our task." Luo Donghe continued graciously.

When Luo Donghe revealed his identity, he had thought that Ye Eryi would give up. However, he was wrong.

Ye Eryi remained indifferent. He walked right in front of Lin Yan and examined him from top to bottom.

A glint of light flashed across Lin Yan's eyes. At that moment, he felt as though he was a naked baby.

Every single one of his secrets and body part was exposed under Ye Eryi's scrutiny. His heart skipped a beat.

"Good! As expected, he has already condensed a Seed of Yuan Qi. The fact that he can condense a Seed of Yuan Qi at the Sixth Stage of Body Tempering means his talent is absolutely astonishing."

Ye Eryi smiled and nodded. Then, he took out a token and waved it in front of everyone.

The token was only the size of a palm, yet it had a powerful fluctuation of Yuan Qi. It had the five divine beasts—the Azure Dragon, the White Wolf, the Fire Scorpion, the God of Tortoise, and the Titan—engraved on it.

"This small token is a Genuine Qi Artifact," Ye Eryi announced.

Lin Yan stared at the token in shock. Meanwhile, Luo Donghe immediately paled and almost fainted in astonishment.

"The token of the Five-Spirits Sect! Senior, y-you're a messenger from the Five-Spirits Sect?"

Luo Donghe gasped, his eyes were wide open. His face was full of shock and excitement.

"What? The Five Spirits Sect? The one that's actually in control of the fate of the Yueming Kingdom?"

"Goodness! I didn't expect a messenger from the Five-Spirits Sect to appear in Sun County. It's a great honor! Why is he here, though?"

"I don't know. Could it be related to the strange thing that appeared in the sky over Sun County before? Is this messenger here to look for treasure?"

While everyone was making guesses, Huang Suqiu rushed to the arena and stood next to Ye Eryi.

She smiled proudly and said, "I was right, Uncle Eryi, wasn't I? Lin Yan's talent is probably on par with mine. Why don't we bring him back to the Five-Spirits Sect?"

When those words were spoken, everyone's mind went blank. Even Lin Yan and Luo Donghe were in shock.

Did she want to bring him back to the Five-Spirits Sect? That was an incredible fortune!

The incomparably powerful Five-Spirits Sect were the ones in power over the Yueming Kingdom.

Medicinal pills, Genuine Qi Artifacts, and top experts in the Yueming Kingdom were from the Five-Spirits Sect.

It was a sacred place of cultivation in every martial artist's heart.

Even an ugly duckling would evolve into a swan when accepted to train in the Five-Spirits Sect.

How envious they were to see Lin Yan being invited to join the Five-Spirits Sect.

Lin Yan's blood was churning when he heard this news. His heart leaped as he began to breathe heavily.

He was so excited that he could not believe that it was true.

If he entered the Five-Spirits Sect, that meant he would be able to find clues about Lin Yue's disappearance on the Burial Mountain.

He had risked his life to emerge victorious at the martial arts competition, so he could enter the Imperial army to gain the astronomically low chance of catching the attention of a top martial artist from the Five-Spirits Sect.

Never in his wildest dream did he expect to be invited directly to the sect.

In contrast to Lin Yan's joyous expression, Luo Donghe's expression was ugly.

His features were all twisted together as he frowned. He was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it.

"It doesn't matter. Let's test his talent first!"
