"What misunderstanding? All explanations are nonsense," Li Lin indifferently stated as he withdrew his Qi.

"Sect Leader Li, how could you just attack like that?" Qi PangZi's face changed drastically, glaring at Li Lin furiously.

"So what if I attacked? JuBaoMen, on the surface, conducts legitimate business in HuaMen Town, but secretly you ambush merchants and engage in despicable acts. Today, I will eliminate JuBaoMen to serve as a lesson to others. HuaMen Town is now under the control of Flying Spirit Gate, not somewhere you can do as you please," Li Lin huffed coldly and then instructed his companions, "Attack, leave none alive." As his words fell, Li Lin's Qi vibrated intensely, unleashing a ferocious aura that pushed the surrounding air away.

"Kill." The five elders, having received Li Lin's order, acted immediately, sparing no one. Today's goal was to eradicate JuBaoMen, to kill one as a warning to others.

"What do you mean by this? Why attack without warning? We could have talked," Qi PangZi shouted, knowing he was no match for the entire strength of Flying Spirit Gate.

"What do I mean? Simply to annihilate JuBaoMen," Hu NanSheng was the first to rush forward, his Qi trembling as he drew his long sword, sending a flurry of sword shadows towards Qi PangZi.

"Swoosh..." Qi PangZi's face darkened as he quickly retreated, not choosing to fight back but to flee instead.

"Thinking of escaping? Too late." With a loud shout, Elder Zheng Ying's sword shadow enveloped Qi PangZi with a scorching aura from behind.

Following that, Chang Lei, Chen XinJie, and Zhou YuHou attacked Qi PangZi from all sides, with the five elders collectively targeting him.

"Kill!" Zhang MingTao, Huang BoRan, and others also charged forward, with two hundred disciples of Flying Spirit Gate attacking the thirty members of JuBaoMen, feeling not the least bit ashamed but rather excited.

"Thinking of running?" At that moment, Li Lin noticed the finely dressed four-layered Spirit Master attempting to flee into JuBaoMen amidst the chaos.

Frowning slightly, Li Lin followed with a trace of coldness in his gaze.

Passing through JuBaoMen, he reached a spacious courtyard behind it, but the Spirit Master in the fine robes was nowhere to be seen.

Standing in the courtyard, Li Lin surveyed the area and sensed something, immediately heading towards the first room.

"Whoosh whoosh..." Just as Li Lin entered the room, a massive burst of scorching Spirit Fire erupted.

"Thud thud..." Li Lin had to quickly retreat, stumbling back several steps in the courtyard before stabilizing. By then, the finely dressed young man had appeared before him.

"Hmph, so you're just a four-layered Martial Master trying to take me on?" The young man in fine robes coldly said, sensing Li Lin's aura.

As he spoke, a powerful spiritual force emanated from the young man, Li Lin frowned slightly, acknowledging the Spirit Master's significant spiritual power, far stronger than that of a Martial Master.

"Spiritual Binding." In an instant, the Spirit Master shouted, forming hand seals, and from him surged streams of invisible spiritual power like fountains.

The spiritual power quickly coalesced into ripples in the air, spreading out and pouring down. These ripples seemed harmless, but a closer look revealed faint traces in the space they passed through.

The dense ripples descended from the sky, enveloping Li Lin in an instant, attacking directly towards his spirit. The most formidable aspect of a Spirit Master's attack lies in the eerie spiritual power, a dreaded aspect for warriors.

Li Lin smiled lazily, and as the spiritual ripples neared, an invisible energy wall seemed to form around him, blocking them from getting any closer.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

"Four-layered Spirit Master, it's just that your spiritual power is too weak."

"Soul Slash." Li Lin's smile vanished, replaced by a cold smirk. Forming a hand seal, a surge of powerful spiritual force burst forth, with an invisible spiritual power vibrating intensely at his forehead.

Between the fluctuations of power, space also trembled violently, followed by a strange sound that suddenly spread out in mid-air. The spiritual power around instantly gathered, creating a terrifying wind pressure that made the space begin to twist, spreading a formidable aura. A red spirit knife condensed in Li Lin's hand, with spatial ripples wavering around it, as the howling wind sounded sharply.

"Shoo...!" The red spirit knife instantly broke through the spatial airflow, sweeping across the surroundings, cutting through the void, and causing a spatial vibration with a single slash. The blade brought up a series of afterimages, carrying a terrifying force, and a dazzling light burst forth in an instant.

This terrifying spirit knife, upon touching the invisible spiritual ripples of a Quadruple Spirit Master, directly ignored and penetrated through them, causing the surrounding space to distort momentarily, and a terrible energy fluctuation erupted.

A barely audible energy cutting sound was transmitted, the spiritual ripples of the Quadruple Martial Master cracked open, and a powerfully unmatched force spread out...

"You are also a Spirit..." Before the Quadruple Spirit Master could finish speaking, the red spirit knife directly penetrated through space and struck his forehead, causing his body to tremble violently. Instantly, intense pain transmitted from his soul, and the opponent's power destroyed his soul as if it were decayed wood, causing him to lose consciousness.

"I have never devoured a spirit person before; you are the first." Li Lin smiled slightly, and instantly, his True Qi flashed beneath his feet, and his fingers were immediately pressed on the Spirit Master's crown.

Moments later, under Li Lin's spirit fire, the Quadruple Spirit Master turned into ashes.

Killing this Quadruple Spirit Master, Li Lin himself was somewhat surprised. The Quadruple Spirit Master probably never imagined that he was also a Spirit Master. Caught off guard by the Soul Slash, his soul was severely damaged instantly. If he had been cautious earlier, it would have been more difficult for him to be killed.

Now, devouring a Quadruple Spirit Master, Li Lin unexpectedly discovered that he had been concerned about not being able to devour a Spirit Master of this level with his own Single Spirit Master cultivation. However, after the devouring, he found that the spiritual power and soul power of the Quadruple Spirit Master were even weaker than his own, especially in terms of soul power. The cultivation of the opponent's Quadruple Spirit Master was much inferior to his own in terms of soul power.

All these reasons, Li Lin could only attribute to his possession of the Spirit Jade Bed and the consumption of the Soul Spirit Divine Liquid.

During the recent devouring, Li Lin also employed the Soul Searching Technique, gaining some surprising information from the body of the Quadruple Spirit Master, causing his eyebrows to furrow slightly.

When Li Lin returned outside, he saw that the entire street, from one end to the other, was crowded with onlookers.

All the disciples of Jubaomen were already surrounded and killed, only Qi Pangzi, who was being attacked by Wu Nan Sheng and five other elders, was still desperately holding on despite appearing severely injured, with fresh blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Qi Pangzi, die." Zhou Yuhou's hand, a yellow palm imprint pierced through space, turning into a yellow lightning, breaking through Qi Pangzi's defense and striking his chest fiercely.

"Puchi!" A fierce wind burst on Qi Pangzi's chest, causing him to stagger and retreat.

"Fierce Flame Spinning Knife." In that instant, Zheng Ying shouted loudly, and the fire attribute True Qi in his hand turned into a blade light that fiercely swept out. The blade light, with roaring flames, seemed to cut through space, fiercely striking at Qi Pangzi.

Qi Pangzi's face changed dramatically, and he hastily set up a protective circle. The blade light fiercely struck Qi Pangzi's protective circle, and finally, with the force of splitting a mountain, it struck fiercely. With a burst sound, Qi Pangzi's protective circle instantly shattered, the force sweeping across the surrounding space, dispersing the flames, and the violent Qi lifting a piece of the ground, creating cracks along the street, and dust flying everywhere...

"Boom..." Zheng Ying's Fierce Flame Spinning Knife directly struck Qi Pangzi's chest, instantly turning him into pieces. Under the attack of five Elders with Martial Soul cultivation from Flying Spirit Gate, killing him was not impossible. This was all within Li Lin's plan.

"Jubaomen was wiped out just like that. Flying Spirit Gate is really ruthless, even more so than Luosha Gate."

"It is said that Jubaomen took the lead in paying less tribute to other shops, probably why Flying Spirit Gate wiped them out. Now, Jubaomen has suffered a great loss."

"Master, all have been killed." Hu Nansheng reported to Li Lin's side.

"Mm." Li Lin responded lightly, then glanced over the people on the entire street and said, "All shops in Huamen Town listen well, Huamen Town is Flying Spirit Gate's territory, not somewhere you can do as you please. If anyone harbors ill intentions and incites others, don't blame Flying Spirit Gate for being unkind." True Qi mixed within his voice, making the listeners' ears somewhat numb.
