Chapter 89: Chapter 6 Return to the Clan

“My God, defeated Nalan Lingjun in just one move, how strong is that?”

Many people around exclaimed in surprise.

Nalan Lingjun was a genius among geniuses, but now, he couldn’t even withstand a single move from this young man before him.

Just how formidable was this young man?

The entire Nalan Family watched Lin Feng in extreme shock, fearing that Lin Feng would deal a killing blow.

Lin Feng couldn’t care less about these people.

...

“Let’s go.”

Lin Feng said.

The Fire Kirin swaggered along behind Lin Feng.

Everyone cleared a path for Lin Feng.

“Hey, are we still looking for a place to stay?” the Fire Kirin asked.

“With so much going on, we might as well hit the road and head back to the clan,” Lin Feng said.

Three days later, Lin Feng finally saw Azure Cloud Town.

Although it was called a town, it actually resembled a city more.

Azure Cloud Town was surrounded by tall city walls, the city itself spanning thirty miles.

It couldn’t compare to cities like Jialan City, but it was also sizable enough to be considered a “county town.”

And, being a fortress leading in and out of the Wilderness Jungle, it was a very lively place.

Arriving at the city gate, Lin Feng saw the three large characters written on it: “Azure Cloud City.”

“They changed it from a town to a city,” Lin Feng was surprised.

When he left for Jialan Academy three years ago, it was still Azure Cloud Town; now, it had become Azure Cloud City.

These three years seemed to have brought significant changes to Azure Cloud Town.

“Ha ha, young man, you haven’t been to Azure Cloud City for a long time, have you? A year ago, Azure Cloud Town was already renamed Azure Cloud City,” an adventurer said.

“I haven’t returned for three years, so I was quite surprised to find the town had been upgraded to a city,” Lin Feng said with a smile.

“Make way, make way…”

Just then, a group of cultivators was seen swiftly approaching from a distance. At the forefront, a dozen or so cultivators riding Xuanhuang Steeds cleared the way, followed by five or six young men and women in brocade clothing.

All the people moved to the sides of the road, clearing a path for this group.

“Su Yuexi!” Lin Feng’s eyebrows slightly raised—it was her, she too had returned to Azure Cloud City.

Beside Su Yuexi stood a young man in white clothes, handsome and dashing.

“Ha ha, I presume this must be Young Master Bai Xuantian from the Bai Family,” someone said.

At that moment, a group of about fifty people poured out from the city, led by a middle-aged man who was none other than Su Yuexi’s father, Su Dongtang.

“Bai Xuantian? Isn’t he the primary direct descendant of the Bai Family in Jialan City?”

“Yes, that’s right. I heard that Bai Xuantian went on a journey with a mysterious and powerful figure and has now returned. But why is he with Su Yuexi?”

“The Su Family? Could it be that they’ve made connections with the Bai Family?”

“If that’s the case, the Su Family is set to prosper. Bai Xuantian is the successor to the next Clan Leader of the Bai Family.”

Many people around were speculating and discussing.

“Uncle, greetings from Xuantian.” Bai Xuantian dismounted his horse, giving a slight smile that carried great grace.

“You mustn’t be so formal, nephew. We’ve already prepared a banquet to welcome you and cleanse the dust of your journey. I hope you won’t disdain the simple fare of our humble place,” Su Dongtang said with a smile.

“You are too kind, Uncle.” Bai Xuantian’s face wore a charming smile.

The people of the Bai Family were welcomed by the Su Family into Azure Cloud City.

“How odd, why would the Bai Family come to Azure Cloud City?” Lin Feng furrowed his brows slightly.

The Fire Kirin, intrigued, asked, “What? What’s your relation to these people? Tell me, I’ll analyze it for you.”

Lin Feng recounted the events of the recent period, and after listening, the Fire Kirin, this old and shrewd creature, sneered and said, “The most likely possibility is that they are targeting the Lin Family. Of course, there might be other motives, but I think the former is more probable. From what I’ve seen, you could also be considered a genius, and now the Bai Family is very wary of you, wishing to eliminate the threat swiftly. What can’t they do?”

“Right.”

Lin Feng nodded.

He too entered Azure Cloud City, not stopping along the way, heading straight for the Lin Family estate.

Seeing the mansion towering in the northwest of Azure Cloud City, Lin Feng’s face revealed excitement and joy.

Three years.

At last, he was back.

“Young Master, it’s Young Master Feng returning…”

The guards outside spotted Lin Feng, and though they hadn’t seen him for three years, his appearance hadn’t changed too much. They recognized him at a glance and immediately called out excitedly.

“I’ll go inform the Lord.” One of the guards ran into the courtyard.

Another guard came forward to greet him.

“Young Master Feng, you’ve finally returned. These three years, the old masters of the family have missed you terribly,” the guard said, his voice filled with emotion.

“Ha ha, Brother Niu, long time no see. You’ve gotten much sturdier,” Lin Feng laughed.

The guard Da Niu scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.

Lin Feng stepped into the mansion he had not seen for three years.

Even though he had been away for three years, every plant and tree of the Lin Family were still very familiar to him.

At that moment, a group of people walked out from the Inner Academy. Leading them was a burly old man—it was Lin Feng’s grandfather, Lin Cangqiong.

Next to Lin Cangqiong was a middle-aged man with a dejected expression and a slightly pale face; this was Lin Feng’s father, Lin Baitian.

In addition, the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and several other elders, along with some aunts and uncles, cousins, and siblings from the clan, all came out to greet Lin Feng.

Originally, Lin Feng had exhibited talent far surpassing his other siblings in the clan. As a result, the Lin Family spent a great deal of money to send Lin Feng to Jialan Academy for cultivation. For smaller clans like Lin Family, with limited financial resources, they could only support one member to cultivate at Jialan Academy, while the other children had to stay within the clan.

This is the way of the clan and the legacy of blood.

If a single person in the family succeeded, in the future, they could support the development of the family. It can be said that Lin Feng carried the hopes of the entire family. Seeing his relatives, tears started to roll down Lin Feng’s cheeks; no matter what hardships, pain, or schemes and plots he had faced outside, at home, there was only the warmth and care of family.

“Grandfather, Father, Great Grandfather, Second Grandpa, esteemed elders, aunts and uncles, Feng’er has returned.” Lin Feng bowed deeply to the elders of his family.

“My child, it’s good you’re back, it’s good you’re back…” Lin Cangqiong lovingly patted Lin Feng’s head.

“Feng’er must be hungry upon returning; quickly, let the servants prepare some food,” the Great Elder busied himself.

“Thank you, Great Grandpa,” Lin Feng said with a smile.

“Silly child, why thank the Great Grandpa?” The Great Elder said kindly.

“I’ll have someone tidy up Feng’er’s room,” Lin Feng’s third aunt said with a smile.

The family was all buzzing about, a warmth brought by kin that filled Lin Feng with emotion.
