Chapter 57: Hunting down that girl
In the Lin family hall, the Lin family patriarch sat at the head of the hall. There were more than a dozen family leaders sitting inside, and all of them had heavy expressions on their faces. Their family had already lost two Jindan stage cultivators. If it weren't for the ancestor's late Yuanying stage cultivation to intimidate them, they would have been destroyed by a joint force long ago. Over the years, the Lin family had done a lot of things relying on its status as the number one family in Qingyang.
For some reason, the outside world has already known that the two Jindan-stage cultivators of their Lin family were training outside and provoked a high-level cultivator who should not have been provoked, and were ruthlessly killed. The current strength of the Lin family has greatly declined. In recent times, many families have begun to provoke them intentionally or unintentionally. The disciples of the family are always attacked when they go out for training. They have no definite evidence, and the upper echelons of the family can't make a decision for them. Even if they know who did it, they dare not go to the door. The head of the Lin family slammed the table angrily and said hatefully, "Our Lin family is in this state now because of that stinky girl named Leng. We must not let her go, and what she has in her hands is enough to take the whole family to the next level."
The head of the family's words immediately split the cultivators below into two factions. One faction continued to hunt down the girl. After all, the girl was said to have a lot of things in her hands. If they could get those things, they would not be afraid of other families. The other faction was also angry. The head of the family had plunged the entire family into crisis for his own selfish reasons, and he still had no intention of repenting. He even wanted to drag the entire family to be buried with him. A Jindan-stage cultivator with a gentle face stood up and said to the head of the family, "Head of the family, our three branches will not participate in this matter. I have already asked the ancestor for instructions. Our branch has separated from the main branch and will become a side branch of the Qingyang Lin family from now on. We plan to set off today to develop elsewhere. The ancestor has agreed to let us set off today." This Jindan-stage cultivator was called Lin Mo. In fact, he had long looked down on the actions of the head of the Lin family. He remembered the conversation with the ancestor yesterday: "Ancestor, I don't want to watch the crisis of the family and do nothing. I want to leave some bloodline for the family. Ancestor, I don't think the girl that the patriarch is hunting down is a cultivator without background. The seclusion of two Jindan-stage cultivators is not something that girl can do. I suspect that it was the person behind the girl who did it. Once could be said to be a coincidence, then what about this time! This time, he was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, which meant he could fight against an early Yuanying stage cultivator. He could still escape, didn’t this prove anything? We’ve lost so many clansmen, can’t we wake up? Do we really have to wait for the elders behind that girl to take action?” The Lin family ancestor was silent for a full quarter of an hour after hearing this. When he looked up again, he seemed to have aged several years. He said in a hoarse voice, “From today on, the three of you will separate from the direct branch. You take them away! If anyone from the other branches wants to go together, then you can take them along too! After all, they are all descendants of the Lin family. This storage bag contains some resources. You will be the ancestor of your branch in the future, and you will no longer be a cultivator of the Qingyang Lin family. No matter what happens to the Lin family, it has nothing to do with you, and the disciples in the clan are not allowed to have any thoughts of revenge. Let’s go! If you want to leave, do it early.” After that, he walked into the cave and closed the stone door on the cave.
Lin Mo left the hall and walked back to his own courtyard, summoning all the people in his group. Seeing that there were still some people who were not from his group, he understood in his heart that they should be the people notified by the ancestor. Seeing those people's unwilling faces, he snorted in his heart. Did they think that he wanted to take them with him so much? Standing on the high platform, Lin Mo spoke, "I have already asked the ancestor for instructions today. Our third branch will be separating from the Qingyang Lin family's direct branch from today. From today on, you must follow me and leave here. From today on, I am the ancestor of our branch. If there are those who don't want to leave, you can stand on the left now, and those who are willing to follow me can stand on the right." As soon as the words fell, the people below began to stir. A man who looked 70% similar to Lin Mo and a female cultivator walked to the right. They were Lin Mo's wife and son. Led by them, they began to stand on both sides in twos and threes. One-third of the cultivators were willing to follow Lin Mo away. Lin Mo looked coldly at those cultivators who were unwilling to leave and said nothing. Among the few people called by the ancestor, only one was willing to leave. This was a little boy in the sixth level of Qi training period, who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. Lin Mo remembered that this boy's parents were ordinary people, who were brought back from the secular family of the Lin family. This boy's name was Lin Yi, who had dual spiritual roots of gold and wood, and was not much dependent on the family. All her resources came from completing her own tasks, and the resources that the family should have distributed were snatched away by those direct disciples, so she did not have a good impression of the family.
Lin Mo took the remaining Lin family cultivators and left the Lin family without saying a word. The cultivators in the city thought that they were going there to train, and no one wanted to follow them because the leader was a Jindan stage cultivator who was not easy to mess with.
Lin Mo and his group of more than thirty people took out their flying magic weapons as soon as they left the town and left with a group. On the flying boat, Lin Mo explained the grudge between the Lin family and Leng Youran, and told everyone that no matter what happened to the Lin family in the future, it would have nothing to do with them. He also asked everyone not to avenge the Lin family unless they had the strength. The people on the flying boat also knew that it was the head of the family's obsession that caused the trouble, and they had no intention of paying for those obsessed people, so they all followed him away, and no one knew where they went.
Besides, the head of the Lin family was getting angry in the hall because of Lin Mo's departure. Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, and even the ancestor who was in retreat rushed out of the cave. The ancestor of the Lin family arrived before he even arrived, saying, "I wonder which Taoist friend has come to the Lin Mansion?" Leng Youran looked at the ancestor of the Lin family and sneered, "Your Lin family has been hunting me for several years. Isn't it just because I didn't have any elders to step forward at that time? You bullied me, a little girl who was less than ten years old. Not only did your own family disciples offer a bounty to hunt me down, not to mention that you actually sent a Jindan stage cultivator to bully me, a Qi training stage cultivator. Do you have any shame, Lin family? Since you are shameless and bully the weak, then I can only let the elders step forward. How can I swallow this breath without destroying your Lin family!" Leng Xiao looked at his daughter's angry face, and knew in his heart that his daughter had been bullied badly. The Lin family really couldn't let her go. They dared to bully his precious daughter who was tired of living.
The ancestor of the Lin family was startled when he saw the people opposite. That little girl actually brought two Nascent Soul cultivators and two Golden Core cultivators with her. This was not something their Lin family could fight against. He was glad that some of the third brother and the others had left.
Leng Xiao looked at the ancestor of the Lin family and knew what he was thinking. He said coldly, "Do you think I didn't see those people leave? It's just that my baby said that these people have never chased him. Otherwise, do you think I would let them leave?" The ancestor of the Lin family was suddenly speechless.
Leng Xiao snorted coldly and attacked the ancestor of the Lin family without saying much. Leng Youran could only see purple lightning and golden light, while Leng Youran was carried by Shangguan Ruoshui to fly over the Lin family. As she moved, talismans floated down and explosions sounded. The head of the Lin family and another Jindan stage cultivator wanted to rush out to attack Leng Youran, but Shangguan Lie and Leng Qianmo stopped them. Although their cultivation was not as high as theirs, they had a large number of talismans given by Leng Youran, including many first- and second-grade talismans.
