Chapter 408: One Year Deadline
Three days later, the Desolate Heaven technique tea session resumed. This time, it was the stage of the older generation like Su Jie.
Shen Tu Nantian was absent. Ignoring the damage to his soul, even if he had completely recovered, he still wouldn’t have the face to appear at the tea session again.
For a proud person like him to embarrass himself as he did, at such an important occasion, was a really heavy blow that few could understand.
At the tea session for the older generation, Yi Yun only watched, from the beginning to end. While watching it, he opened his energy vision and paid attention to the sealing techniques the Elders of the Lin family and Shen Tu family clan used, and studied the essence of their Desolate Heaven techniques. During this process, Yi Yun did not attempt to sabotage by using the Purple Crystal.
After all, this was the older generation of Desolate Heaven Masters. Their control of energy was not like Shen Tu Nantian’s, who was at his limits. It was only because Shen Tu Nantian was at his limits that it was so easy for Yi Yun to use the Purple Crystal.
Against the older Desolate Heaven Masters, Yi Yun may be able to cause trouble with the Purple Crystal, but it was much more difficult. Also, forcefully reversing the energy flow trajectories would increase the risk of being discovered.
Furthermore, if this thing happened time and again, it would make people suspicious.
Finally, even if his sabotaging succeeded, it would be meaningless as the Shen Tu family clan had already made a concession by letting Lin Xintong trial the desolate bone relic they refined. Then, regardless of the tea session’s outcome, the Lin family would first see the results Lin Xintong had after eating the desolate bone relic before they made a decision.
Compared to the younger generation, the Desolate Heaven technique skills displayed by the older generation were even more exaggerated. They could be described as being spectacular.
And overall, the Shen Tu family clan held the advantage.
Even though Su Jie and company used all the skills they had, they could not compete with the large number of people that the Shen Tu family clan had. At the end, the Shen Tu family clan sent a Grand Elder to display his Desolate Heaven technique. He was extremely thin, and seemed like a walking zombie, but his Desolate Heaven technique completely surpassed Su Jie. No one in the entire tea session could compete with him.
The Desolate Heaven technique tea session for the older generation lasted for three days.
In the end, the Shen Tu family clan managed to win back a bit of face.
After the Desolate Heaven technique tea session ended, the Shen Tu family clan entourage did not leave the Lin family, instead they stayed in the Lin family’s Tian Hua peak.
In a blink an eye, half a month passed.
Today was extremely important for both the Lin family and the Shen Tu family clan. This was because this was the day when Lin Xintong got to trial the medicine.
If it succeeded, then the Lin family would very likely gain a peerless Great Empress. Then, the achievements Lin Xintong would have in the future would be on par with the ancient Great Empress.
And the Shen Tu family clan would form an alliance with the Lin family as they wished, while Shen Tu Nantian would get his wish of becoming Lin Xintong’s partner and obtain great benefits.
However if it were to fail…
“My Shen Tu family clan have made several preparations for this matter. It is also the only copy of the peerless Great Empress’s recipe found in the ancient mystic realm, so how can it fail?”
The Lin family used a square that was dedicated for large-scale sacrificial activities. People from the Lin family clan and the Shen Tu family clan gathered here and took their seats. Shen Tu Nantian sat on a front-row bench and was calmly and confidently answering the doubts a Lin family elder had.
Previously, at the Desolate Heaven technique tea session, Shen Tu Nantian had suffered a spiritual backlash and had nursed his health over the period of time, he used various medicines without considering their costs, resulting in him finally being able to leave the bed.
In fact, the Shen Tu family clan had waited for half a month mainly to allow Shen Tu Nantian to regain the ability to get off the bed. After all, Shen Tu Nantian was the star of the show today. If he did not attend it, it would be outrageous.
However, Shen Tu Nantian’s soul had not completely recovered. If he were to fight, or use the Desolate Heaven technique, he would completely collapse.
At least under the situation of not needing to use his mental energies, he would be barely able to maintain his handsome and imposing appearance.
Furthermore, today was the day when the Shen Tu family clan took out the Great Empress relic to prove its effects. He could then use the opportunity to force the Lin family to decide on a marriage date for Lin Xintong. He did not want to drag it out a
