A faint, ethereal voice from Evan Lin echoed.
Standing before Evan Lin, Darren didn’t dare act like an alchemy master at all. Even though his new disciple Gavin Ma had just died, he didn’t dare demand an explanation from Evan Lin.
“P-please... spare me... spare my life!”
Evan Lin glanced at Yuna Young beside him and spoke softly.
Besides, inside the Young Family, it definitely wasn’t just the patriarch who had ulterior motives. Evan Lin hadn’t bothered with them yet—his main goal was to use the Young Family to draw out whoever was behind them.
Having an extra informant inside the Young Family was actually a good thing for Evan Lin.
Darren Ward didn’t linger. He said goodbye to Evan Lin, went back to the Ma Family’s pill room to grab his stuff, then left too.
He was about to dash straight through.
Evan Lin and Yuna Young walked out. Only a few hours had passed, but an Ancient Martial Clan had vanished from the world.
On the way back, Yuna Young sat in the passenger seat. She’d glance at Evan Lin driving, but most of the time she curled up, staring out the window, lost in thought.

The next day, Evan Lin dropped Yuna Young off in Quhang, then returned to the Zhan Family and briefly explained what happened to the Ma Family.
Evan Lin didn’t offer any comfort—truth be told, he wasn’t the comforting type.
Once everything was settled, Evan Lin didn’t head back to campus. He just drove straight to Jinnan.
Angel Epoch was now the source of all Evan Lin’s pills.
Evan Lin glanced at him. “If anyone’s not convinced and wants revenge for the Ma Family, they can all come find me.”
Evan Lin muttered to himself, glancing at his left hand.
“I said no one survives—and no one survives.”
Evan Lin withdrew his finger, not even glancing at Gavin Ma, then shifted his gaze to Darren Ward standing nearby.
“You... what are you planning to do?”
Darren Ward saw Lin Yi looking his way and instinctively took a few steps back, his face pale as a sheet.
His alchemy skills were top-notch, but his fighting skills were trash.
He’d acted all high and mighty before, but now that the entire Ma Family was wiped out, Darren realized that standing in front of this so-called Master Lin from Seacrest made his heart freeze.
“I’m not one of the Ma Family—I’m a disciple under the Pill King.”
Darren Ward quickly explained.
“I have zero interest in your life.”
Lin Yi shook his head; he never planned to do anything to this guy anyway.
Hearing this, Darren Ward finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Lin Yi and said, “You’ve flattened the entire Ma Family today... did you ever think about how you’ll handle things in the future?”
Darren hesitated as he spoke—after all, the whole situation was way too surreal and hard to accept.
Ancient Martial Clans.
That was a super-clan that had lasted for centuries.
Their strength was overwhelming—countless Vajra fighters, and even peak Pointing-to-Mystery experts.
Yet now, they’d been wiped out in one move by a teenager who looked almost scrawny.
If word of this got out, nobody would believe it.
“Whatever happens, happens.”
Lin Yi glanced at him. “If anyone’s not convinced and wants revenge for the Ma Family, they can all come find me.”
“Are you going to be the first one to try?”
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Darren Ward quickly shook his head. “No, no, no.”
“I was only cooperating with the Ma Family, nothing more. I’m not about to do anything for them—and I promise, I won’t go spreading what happened today.”
Cold sweat covered Darren’s back.

“Let’s go.”
Lin Yi glanced at Yuna Young beside him and spoke softly.
Yuna Young was still staring blankly at everything in front of her.
She took a few steps forward, stopping where the Ma Family members had gathered earlier, and stood there for a long while.
“This spot...”
Yuna pointed at a small patch of ground not far away, where weeds grew thick.
“This is where my mom and I knelt for three days and nights back then.”
“It’s also where my mom and I were whipped together.”
She spoke, her voice tinged with a sadness she couldn’t quite describe, emotions tangled and complex.
“Now it’s all over.”
Lin Yi didn’t offer any comfort—truth be told, he wasn’t the comforting type.
This time, wiping out the Ma Family wasn’t just for Yuna Young’s sake. More than anything, it was because the Ma Family had crossed the line too far.
Angel Epoch was now the source of all Lin Yi’s pills.

“Thank you for this.”
Yuna Young took a deep breath. “When I return to the Young Family, I’ll keep you posted on anything they do.”
“From now on, I’m not the Young Family’s Yuna—I’m your Yuna.”
Your Yuna.
When Yuna Young said those four words, Evan Lin could clearly hear the tremor in her voice.
Besides, inside the Young Family, it definitely wasn’t just the patriarch who had ulterior motives. Evan Lin hadn’t bothered with them yet—his main goal was to use the Young Family to draw out whoever was behind them.
Lin Yi almost said, ‘No need,’ but the words stuck in his throat and never came out.
Saying it like that would’ve been way too harsh.

The Ma Family was now a dead zone—sticking around any longer was pointless.

The whole Zhan Family erupted in celebration. The patriarch and Tanya Zhan, especially, felt a huge sense of relief, grateful for their earlier choice to trust Evan Lin.
“Wonder if this batch of Nourishing Spirit Pills will be enough to push me from mid Foundation Establishment to late Foundation Establishment.”
Evan Lin muttered to himself, glancing at his left hand.
The dragon was still dormant, but as his spiritual qi increased, its body glowed brighter than before.
