Yuan Mobai truly intended to make haste.

As he spoke, he had already moved.

With one step, he reached the Lin Clan elder.

In that instant, the sun in the sky seemed to dim slightly.

It was not that the sun had lost its light, but rather that other sources of light had appeared in the sky.

It was as if countless stars had lit up at once, revolving around Yuan Mobai's entire body.

Those were Divine Faculty Talismans, each shimmering with light.

The countless exquisite talismans, now like a Star River, surrounded the body of the young man in purple.

And the young man in purple himself appeared to be the greatest Talisman, the most dazzling star.

As he stepped forward, he threw a punch.

A simple, straightforward punch.

The Lin Clan elder seemed to fall from the sky like a meteor hitting the ground.

Luckily, this Upper Three Heavens realm Lin Clan elder could react with a mere thought.

Around his body, the essence of earth and stone converged, as if solidifying into a staunch fortress-city to protect him.

But there was a problem.

The moment Yuan Mobai quietly made his presence known, the distance between them was already too close.

Close enough to completely shatter the Lin Clan elder's psychological line of defense.

Against a different opponent, he might have been able to endure.

But Yuan Mobai's attack was essentially no different from that of an Upper Three Heavens Martial Tao body refiner.

For a Confucian Sect chanting cultivator, this distance was too close!

The hastily constructed earthen fortress could not withstand Yuan Mobai's heavy punch.

The fortress was instantly broken.

The Lin Clan elder's figure hit the ground.

Yuan Mobai did not give his opponent any chance to escape. As he struck, he closely followed, launching a flurry of continuous punches.

This was completely opposite to his usual demeanor.

The gentle spring breeze turned into a destructive storm in this moment.

"Build your walls high, open your gates wide, let your ocean doors span, and lock down the solar platform!"

The Lin Clan elder, one of his protective treasures utterly destroyed by Yuan Mobai, finally managed to complete the chant.

At last, the heavens and earth changed color for him. The ground rolled with earth and stone, constructing a towering and solid citadel around the Lin Clan elder, protecting him within and ultimately blocking Yuan Mobai's punch.

But the city walls were still extensively cracked. They shook perilously, barely avoiding immediate collapse.

However, the entire structure had sunk, lowered by more than half, as if smashed into the earth.

Below, the mountains shattered and collapsed.

And Yuan Mobai was about to follow with another punch.

The Lin Clan elder's complexion turned green.

Having lost the initiative and been cornered by Yuan Mobai, he was completely powerless to retaliate. At this moment, he could only continually repair his defenses and try to escape.

Surrounded by the Star River of Talismans, Yuan Mobai himself shone brilliantly, like a giant human Talisman. He wielded power that could shake the heavens and earth with his every move. Each step he took seemed to stride across the Star River as he relentlessly pursued the Lin Clan elder.

The two, one chasing and one fleeing, vanished in an instant.

The sky, which was fervent moments before, instantly regained its coolness.

Aside from the scene of utter devastation where distant mountains had collapsed, it was hard to believe that an Upper Three Heavens Great Scholar from the Jiangzhou Lin Clan had just threatened a massacre at Xianliu Palace.

And now... Lei Jun looked toward the far distance. In the direction of the horizon, sudden bursts of light erupted, and the earth and mountains shook, as if an even fiercer battle had broken out.

Later, Lei Jun received a message from his Master Yuan Mobai via a Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman:

"Your teacher will now make rounds elsewhere. Chongyun, be cautious on your own. I will arrange for someone suitable to take your place later."

Lei Jun laughed upon seeing this.

Although Yuan Mobai didn't mention what happened to the Lin Clan elder, it was clear he had at least severely injured the opponent. This reduced the Lin Clan's combatants, with one Upper Three Heavens Great Scholar forced off the battlefield.

The initial objective of Celestial Master Mansion had been achieved.

When Yuan Mobai had first asked Lei Jun to decide whether to leave the Ancestral Courtyard of the Sect, he already had a plan.

If Lei Jun insisted on staying and not leaving the Ancestral Courtyard of the Sect, then everything would proceed as usual.

If Lei Jun left the mountain, then just in case, Yuan Mobai would also leave the mountain.

But everything would be done in secret.

To some extent, Lei Jun would become bait.

Back on the mountain, the mentor and disciple had come to an understanding.

If the Lin Clan from Jiangzhou attacked Xianliu Mountain with only Middle Three Heavens cultivators, Yuan Mobai would not show up.

But if a situation like today occurred, where an Upper Three Heavens Great Scholar made a personal appearance exceeding typical engagement rules, then Yuan Mobai would give the opponent a surprise.

First Lin Chi was seriously injured, then Lin Zhen fell.

Even without either side going all out, Celestial Master Mansion had a good grasp of the Lin Clan's top experts.

One more on this side meant one less on the other.

Therefore, Yuan Mobai didn't need to worry about the Ancestral Courtyard of the Sect being defenseless after his departure, at least for a short while.

This was especially true now that they had reduced the number of Upper Three Heavens experts from the Jiangzhou Lin Clan today.

However, it was necessary to be wary of other opponents or Great Demons attacking, which is why Yuan Mobai didn't linger.

He had to move on to the second phase of his plan.

Yuan Mobai's next steps were of course not random wanderings.

Instead, he planned to vanish for a period, leaving no trace of his whereabouts.

He might be near Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Or he might be near Lei Jun.

Or in some other place.

Having gained an advantage by successfully reducing the number of Jiangzhou Lin Clan masters in succession, Yuan Mobai had earned some leeway to maneuver.

By breaking the first hand extended towards Lei Jun, Lei Jun could also enjoy a period of tranquility in Xianliu Palace.

He turned to the others.

Most of them were still in shock.

It had to be said, these people were all True Inheritance disciples of Celestial Master Mansion and were generally not strangers to impressive sights.

Among them, some had even witnessed High Virtue Elders of the Upper Three Heavens demonstrate their power.

It was just that Elder Yuan's actions just now starkly contrasted with the impression he usually gave everyone. The difference in his typical style was quite substantial...

Let alone others, Lei Jun himself was stunned.

After all, he too had rarely seen his own master engage in a close-quarters fight with an enemy.
