Chapter 228: One King, One General
The Ancient Hall.
As the symbolic city of the Northwest Region, this place had always been bustling. But since the discovery of the ancient treasure, its popularity had skyrocketed, and even after several months, the influx of people showed no signs of waning.
With news of the treasure spreading, this place had even begun to attract uninvited guests from the core regions of the Ancient Battlefield—powerful forces known as the Super Dynasties.
Although the Northwest was considered a backwater, the legendary inheritance of the Four Great Clans was highly coveted, even by these powerful dynasties. Once they heard that someone from the Northwest had gained possession of this inheritance, one Super Dynasty wasted no time in sending its forces to seize it.
This Super Dynasty was known as the Daqian Dynasty.
Even in the entire Ancient Battlefield, Daqian was a name that commanded respect, even fear. The dynasty was known for its mighty Three Kings and Four Generals—all formidable figures listed on the Nirvana Rankings.
And this time, the Daqian Dynasty had stationed itself in the Ancient Hall, awaiting the appearance of the Four Clans' inheritors. Among those sent were one of the Three Kings and one of the Four Generals:
The Sky King, Luo Yantian, and General Mu Huang.
These two figures were famous across the Ancient Battlefield, celebrated as genuine prodigies of the era. In the city, people awaited the inevitable clash with intense anticipation. After all, within the Four Great Clans, the low-ranking Flame Alliance had actually obtained two of the inheritance pieces!
Everyone was curious—when confronted by such a formidable force, could a young man from a mere low-ranked dynasty manage to defy the odds yet again? Would the miracle come to an end, or shine even brighter?
Among the many nervous onlookers was Mo Ling, who also wondered how Lin Langtian and Lin Dong would fare against a Super Dynasty—one that ruled over thousands.
Rumors said that Daqian's Sky King had recently reached the Fourth Yuan Nirvana stage, a level so powerful that even in the core regions, he was considered a near-unmatched presence. The audacity of such a prominent figure journeying to the remote Northwest to seize the Four Clans' inheritance brought a mix of outrage and dread, especially for Lin Langtian and Lin Dong.
People in the Ancient Hall shared these anxious thoughts until a space vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, leaving everyone momentarily stunned.
The vortex rippled, releasing waves of violent energy, and soon, two young and handsome figures emerged from within. As sharp-eyed observers focused on the figure in front, their pupils shrank, and excited, sharp whispers quickly filled the air.
"It's Lin Langtian of the Flame Alliance! He's here!"
A wave of intense icy energy erupted from the vortex, instantly lowering the temperature throughout the Ancient Hall. Shocked onlookers stared at the chilling vortex, awed by the terrifying aura.
Even Luo Yantian and Mu Huang narrowed their eyes slightly, and a hint of amusement faded from their faces. Only one who had survived countless battles could carry such an aura, certainly not an ordinary person who had stumbled upon treasures.
"Lin Langtian—he's the first to emerge from the Four Clans' trials."
"Such a shame! Lin Langtian may come from a low-ranking dynasty, but his talent and strength are exceptional. If he had more time with the Four Clans' inheritance, he'd surely soar to new heights. But he's barely emerged, and already the Super Dynasties are here."
"Maybe don't be so sure. Lin Langtian has never lost a fight. Perhaps this Super Dynasty will be the one left to retreat in disgrace."
"And who's the person with him? A new powerhouse recruited by the Flame Alliance?"
As Lin Langtian appeared, quiet murmurs filled the hall. Mo Ling and his allies hurried over, nodding in surprise at the imposing figure of Jinwu before giving Lin Langtian a swift update on the recent developments.
"Oh, the Daqian Dynasty..." Lin Langtian murmured as he glanced at the front of the hall, where two figures sat as if on a throne.
The one on the left wore golden robes, his gaze cold and menacing. The powerful aura he emitted clearly placed him as a Fourth Yuan Nirvana stage cultivator. The figure on the right was a tall, muscular man in gray clothing, radiating a formidable, mountainous presence. He was a peak Third Yuan Nirvana stage cultivator.
Lin Langtian quickly understood their purpose: Daqian had its sights set on the Four Clans' inheritance. In his original timeline, after Lin Dong and Xiao Yan gained the inheritance, they were ambushed by Daqian, although back then, they had only sent two of the Four Generals. This time, it seemed that Lin Langtian's influence had warranted the attention of one of the Three Kings.
Amidst the tension, a mocking voice rang out. "Ha, calm even when danger is near—not bad for someone from a low-ranking dynasty…"
As Mo Ling finished his report, two figures emerged from the golden hall, stepping out into the air, each step drawing a wave of excitement from the crowd, their names legendary in these lands.
Lin Langtian stared at the duo striding toward him. The figure in front wore a gold robe, with faint wind elements swirling around him, and a smirk on his face. Behind him followed the burly man, whose stern expression and aura exuded a crushing pressure.
"We've waited for you for quite some time." The gold-robed man's smile was friendly as he spoke to Lin Langtian. "We're interested in the inheritance of the Four Clans. If you hand it over, I can make an exception and allow you to join our Daqian Dynasty."
Lin Langtian's gaze shifted, and he fixed the man with a look as if he were staring at an utter fool. "You're quite the idiot. I suggest you get lost while I'm in a good mood."
The gold-robed man froze, his face instantly darkening with anger. "What did you say?"
Before Lin Langtian could respond, Jinwu stepped forward and snarled, "My big brother said you're an idiot. Now get lost!"
A surge of icy energy erupted from Jinwu, the atmosphere instantly dropping as if winter itself had descended.
