Boom!
A fierce explosion erupted between the two figures.
Lin Xiao and the other man instantly created distance.
Quite powerful.
Lin Xiao had to evade the explosion just now, but he felt that this person who had appeared out of nowhere not only didn't evade it but was advancing towards him while enduring the blast.
With a single step, Lin Xiao felt everything around him change.
"Domain?"
Lin Xiao instinctively prepared to unleash his Killing Intent Domain, but at this moment, he discovered his power was being suppressed.
His domain was completely unable to manifest.
This person's strength was the most formidable he had ever encountered!
Not only in terms of cultivation but his control over power far surpassed that of the Third Elder!
"Peak of the Self-Willed Realm, it seems you've absorbed quite a lot of spiritual energy," the newcomer was the First Elder. In terms of appearance, he looked much more profound than the Third Elder. The First Elder exuded an aura of righteousness, and the phrase "immortal demeanor" suited him well.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come to the Sky-Peeking Sect to seek justice," a combat knife had already appeared in Lin Xiao's hand. He squinted at the First Elder, the pressure emanating from him making him hesitant to act rashly.
"There's no need to harbor such hostility towards me,"
The First Elder saw his demeanor and slowly said, "The matters concerning the Lin family back then were not intrinsically related to the Sky-Peeking Sect. I hope you understand this."
"Oh? So you're saying your so-called Third Elder acted on his own initiative to annihilate my Lin family?" Lin Xiao scoffed at his statement, "That's truly interesting. Two batches of disciples came to monitor me consecutively, and as soon as I entered the Self-Willed Realm, three people arrived demanding I be brought to the Sky-Peeking Sect. After I resisted, your Third Elder arrived, and this is what you call unrelated to the Sky-Peeking Sect?"
The First Elder frowned. "Monitoring you was merely to ensure you wouldn't do anything that harms heavenly harmony, not for any other reason. As for the destruction of the Lin family back then, I heard about it. The matter has already been dealt with by the main sect, and the Third Elder was punished."
"So now that he's dead, everything can be pushed onto him?" How could Lin Xiao believe the First Elder's words? Moreover, his purpose for coming this time was simple: "You punished him, but what about his other disciples? I believe, besides the Third Elder you mentioned and the few scapegoats I killed, there are still many disciples who knew about this matter or even participated in it, right?"
The First Elder narrowed his eyes. It seemed Lin Xiao was not one to easily let things slide. He asked one last question: "Then what do you want?"
"I want your Sky-Peeking Sect disciples to be buried with my Lin family! I want you to kneel at my Lin family's graves and repent, I want... you to die."
With that, Lin Xiao's combat knife slashed through the air.
It was this single strike that instantly broke open a gap in the domain that had previously been suppressing Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao broke free from the gap, and then, his left hand began to ravenously devour the spiritual energy of the mountain-protecting formation.
"Lin Xiao!"
The First Elder finally lost all patience. He brought his two fingers together and thrust them towards Lin Xiao in the air!
Instantly, a sky full of sword energy, akin to a brilliant galaxy, appeared before Lin Xiao!
"This scene is so similar to that of True Man Tianhe... you still claim you're unrelated? Truly shameless!" Lin Xiao raised his right hand, and a massive black energy mass began to gather.
