Chapter 405:

The entrance gate of the Lin family in the Qing State

Instead of his loyal subordinates, Lin Xuwen saw Cao Ying and others waiting for him, and at that moment, his mind went blank. These three individuals were from the Lin family for generations, with a clean reputation. How could they betray him, betray the Lin family?

"Listen, descendants of the Lin family. The Clan Elderly Association of the four major clans has made a decree. The internal conflict between the Qing State and the Yun State is a family matter. However, the Holy Heavenly Sect is an external enemy. Therefore, the Clan Elderly Association has decided to temporarily ally with the forces of the Yun State to defend against the common enemy."

Lin Hanlin leaped into the sky and spoke to the other descendants of the Lin family at the entrance gate. As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar.

"If you don’t believe it, you can go to our ancestral land to check and then come back."

"No one is allowed to go. Absolutely no one is allowed to go."

"Lin Xuwen, the head of the Lin family, has betrayed the Lin family and the Green Emperor. He has decided to collude with outsiders and has already conspired against Chen Jingyu, a descendant of the Chen family. His crimes deserve to be punished, and he is no longer worthy to be the head of the Lin family."

"Seeking death"

Lin Xuwen couldn’t bear it anymore and swung his sword at Lin Hanlin, but Cao Ying stopped him.

"Descendants of the Lin family, stop assisting the tyrant Zhou. Those who don’t believe can go to our ancestral land to find out the truth. The survival of the Lin family depends on this action."

Lin Hanlin was intensifying his efforts to persuade, or rather, to achieve genuine cooperation, instead of internal conflict.

Some descendants of the Lin family couldn’t hold back and entered the teleportation array, heading towards their ancestral land. To be honest, the decision of the Clan Elderly Association this time was too sudden and many people couldn’t accept it. It’s normal for their thoughts to fluctuate.

"Lin Hanlin, quickly send the Yun State troops to our ancestral land and call for reinforcements. Lin Xuwen is too strong, Cao Ying is no match for him."

Lin Jiang watched the battle between Lin Xuwen and Cao Ying. Although Cao Ying was talented, Lin Xuwen wasn’t inferior. He stood out among the branch families and was also an incredible genius. The crucial point was that he had reached the peak of Void Achieving for many years and had already stepped into Tao Achieving with one foot. As for Cao Ying, how long had it been since she broke through Void Achieving? She was still in the early stages.

"Han Jing and Han Bin will personally go. The Yun State people need to wait. We need to assess the situation in our ancestral land first."

Lin Hanlin said it was inappropriate to let the Yun State troops use the teleportation array hastily. If negotiations on the other side weren’t completely settled, it could easily lead to misunderstandings. It would be better to send someone from our own side to take a look first.

"Okay, brother, I’ll go first."

"Sixth Patriarch, wait for us to come back, it’ll be quick."

The two immediately agreed and then went to the teleportation array. The person guarding the teleportation array didn’t object and let them leave.

Most of the Yun State prisoners are at the Nascent Soul and Soul Changing stage. Only Cao Ying has reached the Void Achieving stage, so everyone can’t help much and can only hope that Cao Ying will win.

With her fierce determination, Cao Ying can still compete with Lin Xuwen for now, but Lin Jiang knows that she can’t sustain that determination for long.

"I’m back."

"The people who went to the ancestral land are back."

"It’s true, what they said is true. The Holy Heavenly Sect has infiltrated the ancestral land, and Yun State and our Qing State have joined forces. The Clan Elderly Association has issued the order to remove Lin Xuwen from the clan."

"*laughter*"

At first, the people who went to the ancestral land brought back some news. As soon as Lin Xuwen heard this, he became very angry. Cao Ying seized the opportunity and broke through his defenses with one strike.

"Damn it!"

"Why?"

"I am the head of the Lin family, the leader of the Lin family. Why do they have the right to dismiss me?"

Lin Xuwen was starting to lose control. His emotional barriers were shattered. No matter how much he betrayed, he still deeply acknowledged the identity of being part of the Lin family.

This is the glory that the Lin family has inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, which makes most Lin family members proud of their surname, Lin. Lin Xuwen has lived in the family his whole life, so he can’t bear being expelled from the family. He is very resentful.

"Brother, Little Ying, I’m here."

After a while, Lin Ying appeared. The fighting in the ancestral land was extremely fierce, and they couldn’t spare any manpower. It was already fortunate for Lin Ying to come.

"Lin Ying, why is it you? How did you come here?"

"My father told me to come."

"Lin Xuwen is at the peak of Void Achieving, how can you be his opponent? Hurry, run!"

"Only after fighting do you realize, I won’t say much more. Brother, father wants you to run."

Lin Ying left a message and leaped directly into the sky, joining forces with Cao Ying to deal with Lin Xuwen.

"Lin Xuwen, you traitor of the Lin family, surrender your life!"

"Hehe"

"Lin Xuwen, the ancestors of the Lin family were renowned for the Slaying God Spear. Can you truly call yourself a descendant of the Lin family if you can’t even wield the Slaying God Spear? You’re unworthy."

"You’re seeking death."

Lin Xuwen grew increasingly angry. Why didn’t he use the Slaying God Spear? Because he had been sent by the Lin family to be trained at the Tiandao Gate, and there was never an opportunity to learn the Slaying God Spear. After all, the Slaying God Spear was too famous, and undercover agents couldn’t learn it.

And when he took over the Lin family, the essence of the Slaying God Spear had already been lost. He had to obtain it from other families. He couldn’t bear to lose face, especially since he had already achieved Void. The use of weapons had already been established, so there was no need to change. Over the years, he had been criticized for this matter. As the head of the Lin family, he hadn’t even learned the family’s secret techniques. What a disgrace.

"Lin Xuwen, I have the secret technique of the Lin family’s Slaying God Spear. If you have the guts, come and challenge me. If you win, I’ll give it to you."

Lin Ying continued to provoke Lin Xuwen. Lin Xuwen was unsteady in his state of mind, and Lin Ying wanted to make his mind collapse and lose control.

·······

Four hours ago, in the hidden residence of the four major families.

Led by the Lu family, the main forces of the four major families clashed with the main forces of the Holy Heavenly Sect in their hidden residence. At this moment, the power of the four major families didn’t fall behind. Both sides had comparable strength in their achievements, making the battle intense and evenly matched.

"City Lord Lin, it’s time for you to send out the troops from Yun State."

Yang Luo looked at the situation on the battlefield and realized that relying solely on the Holy Heavenly Sect to conquer Qing State would be a narrow victory. Lin Batian’ power needed to be involved too.

"Alright, let’s take action."

Lin Batian nodded and exchanged glances with Shi Yuntang and the others before taking action.

But instead of rushing onto the battlefield, Lin Batian aimed at Yang Luo, who was now accompanied by only a few people.

"Boom!"

Lin Batian’s long spear was blocked by a powerful force. A person emerged from beside Yang Luo, with a changing expression.

"Zhou Huaiying."

"Brother Lin, we meet again."

"Yes, we meet again. The grudge between North State and you is not settled, yet you have come to me."

"Then let’s settle both the new and old grudges together."

"I can’t understand. How could the esteemed master of Tianxuan Sect obey the orders of a Void Achieving?"

Lin Batian said. Tianxuan Sect is also a great sect in the world. As the sect master, don’t you have any self-respect? Why are you listening to Yang Luo?

"I’ll tell you after you die. Come, let me experience the power of the Slaying God Spear."

"Okay."

The two of them silently went somewhere else to fight.

Some of the high-ranking members of Shi YuntangYun State went to the battlefield, while others went after Yang Luo. Yang Luo’s companions one by one entered the battle, but the remaining ones were easily defended by Yang Luo. She herself was also a terrifying master.

"It’s your turn now."

Yang Luo looked at the last person beside her. Perhaps he could be the last straw to crush the enemy.

"No fighting."

"But we agreed on this."

"I know"

"Are you wanting to change your mind?"

Yang Luo’s expression became dark, did her plan fail?

"No regrets"

"Give me an explanation, otherwise, after this is over, I will be the first to destroy your Shenmu Sect"

"Alright, if that’s what you say"

The person trembled all over, then returned to their original appearance. Who else could it be, if not Shenmu Ancestor of Shenmu Sect?

Shenmu Ancestor waved their hand, in the midst of the distant battle, one person’s aura soared, sending their opponent from Holy Heavenly Sect flying with a whip.

"Tao Achieving"

"Another Tao Achieving"

In the battlefield, many are exclaiming, weren’t there only two Tao Achievings from each side? How come there’s another one? Are Tao Achievings worthless now?

Another Shenmu Ancestor appeared and came before Yang Luo.

"Look, you threatened me, and I agreed to help you fight. But this Lin family kid has a good relationship with me, and he came seeking help too. Both sides are my stand-ins, all coming from the same true body. It’s impossible to defeat them. It’s better to save some effort."

"You…"

"How about this, we both fight for a while, and you can watch the show?"

The two Shenmu Ancestors said, feeling troubled. The Green Emperor helped them a lot in the past, and they owe him a great favor. The Green Emperor’s four disciples also have a decent relationship with them. Lin Batian came seeking help, and they can’t just watch him die. So, they’ll help. Helping one side is still helping, and helping both sides is also helping. Besides, they have no lack of stand-ins.

"Impressive."

Yang Luo was extremely angry. The Shenmu Ancestor was a powerful card she had, but it seems she can’t use it anymore. This card is already useless.

"Hahaha, you continue, you continue, I won’t join in the fun."

Shenmu Ancestor shrugged, it’s not my business, he just wants to eat melon, it has nothing to do with him.
