Chapter 437: 23 City Lord of Ao Tian Ancient City

Chapter 437: Chapter 23 City Lord of Ao Tian Ancient City

One of the Ten Great Ancient Cities of East County Divine Land, Ao Tian Ancient City, was the most powerful and mysterious Ancient Force in East County Divine Land.

Because, unlike other ancient cities which often had several Ancient Forces coexisting, Ao Tian Ancient City was controlled by just one force.

The entire Ao Tian Ancient City was in the grasp of the City Lord, Dugu Aotian.

And today, in the residence of the City Lord, Dugu Aotian had set up an altar on which a Little Golden Man was revered.

Dugu Aotian led the high ranks of Ao Tian Ancient City in solemn worship of the mysterious Little Golden Man.

“Hum”.

Suddenly, above Nine Heavens, an astonishing fluctuation swept across Heaven and Earth, and a powerful energy was infused into the body of the Little Golden Man.

Swoosh swoosh…

The Little Golden Man actually opened its eyes, and two sharp rays shot out from its eyes, radiating blinding light which made people feel palpitations.

“The Immortal has manifested…”

Many people exclaimed.

Dugu Aotian led the high ranks of Ao Tian Ancient City to bow to the Little Golden Man, and said, “Dugu Aotian leads the people of Ao Tian Ancient City to pay respects to the Immortal.”

Then Dugu Aotian and the others performed a grand salutation of three kneels and nine kowtows.

The indifferent voice of the Little Golden Man transmitted, “Dispense with the formalities.”

“Yes.”

Dugu Aotian responded but did not rise; he remained kneeling on the ground.

Little Golden Man said, “Dugu Aotian, accept the Immortal Decree.”

Hearing the words of the Little Golden Man, Dugu Aotian hastily knelt down deeply, his rear sticking up high, showing utmost devotion.

A beam of Immortal Light surged out, and within it, a scroll emerged.

The voice of the Little Golden Man followed, “I command Dugu Aotian to head to True Martial Country in East County Divine Land, to seek a Lin surname cultivator named Lin Baitian, and you must capture him. As for the members of the Lin Clan, hmph, they are a forsaken clan, already should have vanished from the long river of history, eliminate all of the Lin Clan, not sparing a single one.”

“Yes, I accept the decree.”

Dugu Aotian shouted loudly, catching the scroll with both hands.

Swoosh.

The Immortal Light from the Golden Man shot into the sky and instantly disappeared; the terrifying aura that had permeated the courtyard instantly vanished without a trace.

“My lord, who was that existence just now?” asked a high-rank official.

“Hush… It’s a character we must not discuss; just complete the tasks well. Quickly go investigate the Lin Family— this Lin Baitian,” Dugu Aotian said in a low voice.

“My lord, no need for investigation, I am aware of this Lin Family,” suddenly, a high rank of Ao Tian Ancient City stepped forward and spoke.

“Oh? You know?” Dugu Aotian asked with surprise.

“A few years ago, inside the borders of True Martial Country, a small family contributed a small Spirit Vein to Sun Moon City. This family is the Lin Family mentioned by that mysterious person; it is very likely that this is the Lin Family!”

The high rank from Ao Tian Ancient City said.

“Excellent, assemble the Ao Tian Army, this time I personally will lead the people to wipe out this Lin Family!”

Dugu Aotian instructed.

“Yes, Lord City Master.”

…

“Crack…”

The Jade Tube shattered.

All imprints related to Lin Baitian were also destroyed with the destruction of the Jade Tube, leaving no trace in the world.

“Father”.

Lin Feng’s eyes were filled with unbearable pain; he sensed a will of sacrificial death from his father’s emotions.

His mother had been suppressed deep within the Starry Sky World by the Nine Heavens Lost God Coffin, and in the blink of an eye, nineteen years had passed.

Was his mother still alive?

Lin Feng had so many questions in his heart; he knew that those enemies must be unimaginably powerful.

That’s why his father didn’t want him to go looking for them.

But as a son, how could he know his mother was suppressed, enduring endless pain every day and not go to rescue her?

As a son, how could he know his father might encounter grave dangers and yet choose to barely survive by himself?

“Strength, I need to increase my strength, I need to cross the Endless Sea to find my father’s friends”.

Lin Feng’s face was twisted in agony.

Never had there been a moment when he felt as vulnerable as he did right now.

He knelt on the ground, his body shaking violently.

…

Lin Kun, Lin Yue’er, and others from Jialan Academy, upon hearing the news of Lin Feng’s return, hurried back as well.

When they returned to the family, Lin Feng took out various Vestment robes and Magic Artifacts he had collected and distributed them among everyone.

There were forty-two Treasure Level magic treasures and more than two hundred Spiritual Artifact Level magic treasures.

Lin Dong exclaimed in surprise, “Brother Feng, that’s incredible! To collect so many magic treasures. This one is a Treasure Level artifact, right? Even Jialan Academy only has three of those, and now our Lin Family actually has forty-two!”

Lin Feng said, “You all can’t activate these treasures yet. I’ll leave them with Grandfather to distribute. As for these Spiritual Artifact Level magic treasures, each of you can choose two pieces, pick one attack type artifact and one Vestment robe.”

The people of the Lin Family all wore expressions of joy, knowing that with these treasures, the power of the Lin Family would leap qualitatively.

Lin Dong said, “Brother Feng, let me choose one of the treasures. My strength is the weakest; I should choose a powerful one for protection.”

Seeing the gleam in Lin Dong’s eyes, the guy wasn’t thinking about choosing a treasure for protection; he probably wanted to show off with it.

“Enough picking and choosing, you don’t even have a Spiritual Artifact,” Third Uncle Lin Xiong glared at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong, who was always afraid of his dad, involuntarily shrank his neck.

Lin Feng said, “I have one Treasure Level soft armor here for you.”

Saying that, he took out a Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armor, which he had originally planned to wear himself, but since Lin Dong wanted a treasure, and wouldn’t be able to activate an attack type treasure yet, wearing a defensive type one would still endow him with formidable defensive power.

“Brother Feng, I love you!” Lin Dong said, about to leap forward to give Lin Feng a bear hug and a “passionate kiss”.

Lin Feng quickly dodged, smiling, “Hurry up and try it on.”

Lin Dong grinned from ear to ear, hurriedly taking off his clothes to see if the Treasure Level soft armor fit.

…

Lin Feng stayed in the Lin Family for three days; he planned to set off for the Martial Soul Hall tomorrow.

That evening, the family joyfully dined together.

Meanwhile, dozens of miles away, three or four hundred Fierce Beasts enveloped in black flames were crushing the heavens as they sped towards the direction of Azure Cloud City.

Dugu Aotian sat cross-legged on a Black Flame Beast King, his deep voice asking, “How far is Azure Cloud City?”

A general of the Ao Tian Army responded, “Reporting to the lord, fifty more miles”.

“Hmm… “.

Dugu Aotian nodded, the piercing cold wind causing his robe to flutter loudly as he looked towards Azure Cloud City, a hint of a cruel smile appearing on his lips.
