Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 878 - 442: Master of Life and Death

When he looked up, the last trace of arrogance in his eyes disappeared.

Lin Beichen not only broke his spine but also left an indelible seal deep within his soul.

However, the old man, having weathered many storms in life, soon figured things out.

Since he couldn't challenge Lin Beichen, he had to learn to submit.

"We were ignorant and dared to challenge your authority. We thank you for sparing us and are willing to serve as slaves for generations. If there is any trace of insubordination, may we be torn to pieces."

After speaking, he once again kneeled, knocking his head on the ground several times, as if waiting for Lin Beichen's response.

Could this man be so ruthless?

To preserve his own life, he didn't hesitate to drag his descendants into this.

Lin Beichen looked at the man with a slight surprise.

This old man was more complex and ruthless than he had imagined.

Ordinary families could probably never make such a vicious oath.

This man had achieved great things not just by luck and the times, but indeed by some talents.

"Sir, if you're not satisfied, I can make an even more vicious oath."

Seeing Lin Beichen staring at him without speaking, the old man once again kowtowed to admit his wrongdoing, looking at Lin Beichen with fear and anxiety.

Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen waved his hand. The oath was already sufficient at this level; any further oaths would be meaningless.

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a series of gasps behind him.

Lin Beichen turned around to see a black car parked outside the Long Clan's estate, with the license plate clearly belonging to the Zheng Clan.

This was Zheng Yaxin's car.

Lin Beichen was slightly puzzled—why was Zheng Yaxin here?

Though he had informed Zheng Yaxin, he hadn't said when he would resolve the Long Clan's issue.

Zheng Yaxin couldn't have known his whereabouts.

Even if Zheng Yaxin had the ability to scout information from various parties, she wouldn't dare to pry into his intelligence. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Zheng Yaxin got out of the car, ready to rush in, when she immediately saw Lin Beichen.

And when her body reached the gate, she was even more confused.

In the courtyard, a corpse lay on the ground, a heart was placed on the table, still beating, and further away, an old man knelt on the ground. It was a face very familiar to her, the old master of the Long Clan.

What exactly was going on?

Zheng Yaxin stared at all this blankly; her mind felt somewhat stalled.

According to Mr. Gao, to deal with Lin Beichen, the Long Clan had brought in two mysterious masters from abroad, among whom one was a Legendary Curse Master.

But how was the scene before her to be explained?

Mr. Gao and the people from the Feng Shui Association followed closely, but upon entering, they didn't see the old master of the Long Clan; instead, they saw a kneeling old man.

"Lu Zhenghun! Did the Long Clan really invite him?"

"Since you both recognize me, you should also be from the Feng Shui Association, right?

Please inform the association that from now on, there is no more Lu Zhenghun or Legendary Curse Master, only a humble apprentice under Mr. Lin."

Lu Zhenghun quietly stood up, slightly bowing to the two, then approached Lin Beichen, kneeling on the ground.

Defeated by Lin Beichen's red light, his body's functions were completely collapsed. The only reason he was still alive was that Lin Beichen didn't want him dead.

His life was held in Lin Beichen's hands.

To control life and death is the ultimate technique of the Life and Death Dao.

Yet Lin Beichen, without reaching this step, was already able to control life and death.

According to the theory of the Life and Death Dao, this was simply incomprehensible.

If it's incomprehensible, it signifies that his theory has significant limitations.

The end of cultivation he saw was probably just a small divine technique to Lin Beichen.

To defeat a person, there are three realms.

The simplest way to kill someone is to destroy their physical body; a higher level is to destroy their spirit.

But the ultimate killing is to destroy their legacy.

A person dies but their spirit remains; the spirit dies but their Dao remains.

A human body can exist for a century, but a spirit can illuminate across millennia, and a Dao can guide all things under heaven.

His lifelong dream was to achieve the Divine Gate Realm.

And there stood a Divine Gate master before him.

Facing such a powerful person, he couldn't muster the slightest resistance and could only submit.

"Since you're all here, have a seat."

Lin Beichen sat down and casually poured himself a cup of tea, silently watching everyone. After some thought, he said:

"From today onwards, if you encounter trouble on Xiang Island, go to the Long Clan. The Long Clan is a secret servant of the Zheng Clan, and no matter what happens, they will definitely help you resolve it."

"Is that really the case?"

Mr. Gao and the Feng Shui Association silently looked towards Zheng Yaxin, surprised.

How had they never heard of this matter?

When the two noticed the confusion in Zheng Yaxin's eyes, their hearts skipped a beat, considering a possibility.

Could it be... that this decision was just made?

Zheng Yaxin suppressed her shock and nodded in agreement, while in the distance, the members of the Long Clan knelt on the ground, not daring to resist in the slightest.

Even though their hearts felt as if they were bleeding, they only dared to nod cautiously.

Lin Beichen quietly drank tea, observing everyone. Yet his thoughts had already returned inland.

This trip to Xiang Island had indeed been fruitful. Though brief, it had also set up contingencies.

Whether the Zheng Clan or the Long Clan, as long as they carried out their duties peacefully, prosperity was not far in the future.

However, as for Lu Zhenghun, Lin Beichen was somewhat undecided.

Lu Zhenghun deserved death, but as he said before, regardless of what Lu Zhenghun did, in his eyes, it was just pathetic ants fighting.

If Lu Zhenghun wished to live, let him; if he wished to die, it didn't matter.

But in terms of Enlightenment in Curse Techniques, Lu Zhenghun indeed had talent.

In the Feng Shui line, two exceptionally talented individuals appeared.

One was Zhou Kuangtian, skilled in various cultivation methods, capable of forging a Heaven and Earth Array before the Celestial Gate. In terms of realm alone, Zhou Kuangtian was actually a level higher than Lu Zhenghun.

However, Lu Zhenghun excelled in being foolish, foolish enough to persist.

Furthermore, Lu Zhenghun, after all, was a Spiritual Master of the Eastern Woodland Kingdom. Though he rarely descended from the mountain, his deterrence was extremely powerful.

Besides the Bone Spirit Tiger, he had other disciples who called him the Patriarch.

If Lu Zhenghun were released, these disciples had a significant social influence, easily stirred to become a restless force at the border.

Lu Zhenghun had the temperament of a small border country; curtailing to the powerful, but striking when the adversary weakened.

Lin Beichen pondered for a moment, then settled on a compromise.

He didn't wish to kill Lu Zhenghun immediately but wanted to give him a chance to see how far he could advance, without giving him too much freedom.

Thus, only one option remained.

Place a restriction on him, ensuring he constantly feels under threat.

"Lu Zhenghun."

"Senior, I am listening."

Lu Zhenghun lifted his head, still kneeling, his face full of reverence.

"Since you wish to sever past ties, I offer you a chance. However, know that working beside me demands offering up life and death."

"This life and death aren't of the body, but of the spirit. Joining my tutelage, you must surrender your spirit to my control."

Lin Beichen condensed a wisp of red light in his hand, slowly feeding it into Lu Zhenghun's body.

Lu Zhenghun respectfully extended his hands, allowing the red light to wreak havoc inside, while he made up his mind.

As long as he could return to his homeland, he would once again retreat deep into the mountains, never to see Lin Beichen again.

In his lifetime, he would abandon worldly matters, immersing himself in rustic pleasures, not returning to mundane affairs.

Among his disciples, although none were as powerful as the Bone Spirit Tiger, he had a few wealthy local patrons.

These patrons' followers, each had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and with their protection, even with Lin Beichen's restriction, he could still live worry-free for the rest of his days.
