**76章：The Betrayal of Bloodline**

The air was heavy with tension as Lin Feng's words hung in the air. Chen Yang's eyes seemed to bore into his soul, as if searching for any hint of deceit. Lin Feng's heart raced with anticipation, his hands trembling slightly as he awaited Chen Yang's response.

"Well, Lin Feng," Chen Yang's voice was low and even, his tone devoid of emotion. "It seems you've certainly had a remarkable journey. But tell me, what makes you think you're worthy of joining the Sky Piercing Sect?"

Lin Feng felt a surge of anger at Chen Yang's words, but he kept his emotions in check, knowing that he needed to keep his composure if he was to succeed. "Because, Chen Yang, I am not just any ordinary cultivator. I have dedicated my life to the pursuit of the sword, and my power is unmatched. I am the one who can bring prosperity to the Sky Piercing Sect, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that goal."

Chen Yang's expression remained unchanged, his eyes never leaving Lin Feng's face. "And what makes you think you're worthy of being a member of the Sky Piercing Sect, rather than just a powerful cultivator? The sect has a long history, and our members are bound by a blood oath to protect the sect at all costs. Are you prepared to make the same oath, and to put the sect's interests before your own?"

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat as he considered Chen Yang's words. He knew that the blood oath was a sacred bond, one that could never be broken. But he also knew that he had no choice. If he wanted to join the Sky Piercing Sect, he had to be willing to make that oath.

Just as Lin Feng was about to respond, a sudden commotion broke out outside the room. The sounds of clashing swords and screams of pain echoed through the halls, sending a chill down Lin Feng's spine.

"What's going on?" Chen Yang's eyes narrowed, his grip on his sword tightening.

Lin Feng's eyes locked onto Chen Yang's, his mind racing with the possibilities. "I think it's the other cultivators. They must have discovered my true identity, and they're trying to take me down."

With a swift motion, Chen Yang drew his sword, his eyes flashing with a fierce determination. "Then let's go and put an end to this. I won't let anyone harm my fellow cultivators, or threaten the safety of the sect."

As they rushed out of the room, Lin Feng felt a surge of excitement mixed with trepidation. He knew that the battle ahead would be fierce, and that only one side could emerge victorious. But he also knew that he had to prove himself, to show Chen Yang and the other cultivators that he was worthy of being a member of the Sky Piercing Sect.

The fate of the sect hung in the balance, and Lin Feng was determined to do whatever it took to protect it. But as he fought his way through the chaos, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was walking into a trap, one that would change the course of his life forever.
