Chapter 24 - 24 Who Dares to Move My Lin Family
Chapter 24: Who Dares to Move My Lin Family
At the entrance of Peach Blossom Valley, a group of yellow-robed cultivators stood aloft, their Flying Swords relentlessly striking toward a light barrier at the mouth of the valley!
Every strike would cause the light barrier to tremble violently.
However, after a bout of shaking, the light barrier would flash with Spirit Patterns and recover as if nothing had happened!
Over and over again, endless and unceasing!
"How can this Lin Family's turtle formation be so troublesome?" The slightly chubby middle-aged man in the lead squinted his eyes, glancing at the barrier ahead with a face full of resentment.
This leading middle-aged man was known as Huang Lishan, the third in seniority among the Huang Family's generation with the name "Li," also the current Family Head of the Huang Family. Besides the three Foundation Establishment Supreme Elders of the Huang Family, he held the most power!
"Third Brother, I've suggested before that we should have gotten rid of that old woman early. Now, as expected, she's become a significant threat. She's probably become a Second Rank Superior Grade Array Master already!" A dark-faced, burly man complained next to him, further darkening Huang Lishan's already sullen expression.
Ever since the Huang and Lin Families clashed over the Foundation Establishment Pill a hundred years ago, they've harbored hatred towards each other. During this time, they naturally targeted each other's geniuses, among whom Lin Yuqing, Lin Yuqi, and Lin Yushui were the three Foundation Establishment prodigies of the "Yu" generation in the Lin Family.
Especially Yu Qi and Yu Shui, these two individuals once had the opportunity to cross the Foundation Establishment boundary but resolutely chose to step into the path of pill and formation Dao.
Such a decision was incomprehensible to them at the time!
They abandoned their martial journey to inherit the laughable family legacy.
This is what they deserved, a fate of desolation!
However, now they see that with just two cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, about ten in the late stages of Qi Cultivation, and several in the middle stages, the Lin Family was able to fend off their five cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level and over twenty in the late stages from the Huang Family.
And this was all due to that formation's might!
"Third Brother, let's wait. The Supreme Elder of our family will be here soon. A Second Rank Superior Grade Spirit Vein is a tremendous wealth for our Huang Family. Maybe with this, our Spirit Vein could be elevated to Third Rank Superior Grade!" Another white-bearded old man in a daoist robe spoke up from the side.
"Hm!" The slightly chubby middle-aged man Huang Lishan nodded, saying nothing more, but the resentment on his face was profound. He was already fantasizing about the scene of breaking through the formation and engaging in wanton slaughter.
...
Inside Peach Blossom Valley, aside from a few from the "Shi" generation, nearly all of the Lin Family members were present. Lin Houyuan and Lin Yushui stood at the very front, watching the attackers outside; neither of them spoke.
It was not until Lin Houwei approached, riding on his sword, that they slightly turned.
"Seventh Uncle, Third Aunt, the Spirit Pool is almost dry!" Lin Houwei spoke with a look of dejection.
The Lin Family could staunchly hold the valley pass not just because of the Second Rank Superior Grade Spirit Vein, but also due to that Spirit Pool, which, powered by the formation, drew in spiritual energy from the Spirit Vein and absorbed the Spirit Water, thus constantly repairing the Spirit Turtle Formation!
If there was no water from the Spirit Pool, it was only a matter of time before the formation would be broken.
The worst part was, the three people they had sent to deliver messages had all been pursued by the Huang Family.
So it was possible that the Huang Family would soon receive reinforcements, while the Lin Family could do nothing but wait for their doom!
After Lin Houwei finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the scene!
No one responded, no one moved.
After a while.
"Third Aunt, you take Hou Shou, Hou Wei, Shijie, Shimo, and Shiyi and leave later," Lin Houyuan said, gazing at the Spirit Shield, his thoughts drifting far away.
He recalled the old family head's entrustment, his grand aspirations of the past, and then he turned to think of Lin Shiming, only then did the corner of his mouth finally show a trace of a smile.
"Family Head, do you think I can leave? Leave this to Hou Shou," Lin Yushui said, shaking her head noncommittally. The old men from the Huang Family had long set their sights on her.
Immediately her expression turned cold again, and she commanded sternly:
"Hou Wei, go convey my orders to Hou Shou, and ensure that Shijie survives!"
"If Shijie dies, I will never forgive him, even in death!"
Lin Houwei's body shivered, feeling the despair of a dead end, yet here it was, this inevitable moment. He wanted to stay.
But just as Lin Yushui said, if the family had to choose who would survive, Lin Shijie had to be the first.
At this moment, Lin Houyuan was astonishing to behold, but even more shocking was Lin Yushui.
Lin Houshou was her own son!
At this critical moment, she did not send her son to break out alone but instead tasked him to do his utmost to protect Lin Shiming's escape.
Lin Houwei stifled all sorrow and once again firmly set out, flying toward the Spirit Pool.
Indeed, even if he decided to stay in the end, he still needed to inform Hou Shou.
Because Lin Shijie was the hope of the Lin Family.
A family's terror lay not in the family itself, but in its ability to pass down its legacy continuously.
As long as it didn't perish, there would always be hope!
"Boom!" A loud explosion suddenly resounded, shaking the earth and the mountains, its might extremely vast.
The spiritual energy of the entire Spirit Vein was drained by a large fraction in an instant, among them, Lin Yushui, who controlled the formation, spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"That is..." Lin Houyuan's heart surged as he raised his head to look into the distance.
He saw a man dressed in a yellow robe and headdress, standing in the air, a sword strike that made the world pale in comparison.
"A Foundation Establishment expert!" Lin Yushui also turned ashen, feeling extremely powerless in an instant.
In the face of formidable cultivation levels, all cunning schemes, all formations, at this moment, seemed so pale.
"Notify everyone, once the great formation opens, everyone flees on their own!" Lin Houyuan directly changed the decision, this moment didn't concern who would cover the rear or who would escape.
Every survivor counts.
"Boom"
Another loud explosion!
Lin Yushui and several other Qi Cultivation late-stage formation controllers all vomited large mouthfuls of blood.
Meanwhile, the Profound Tortoise-shaped Spirit Shield in the sky shattered in an instant.
An invisible storm swept through, with countless peach trees breaking and being destroyed.
"Run!" Lin Houyuan shouted!
"Run? Where can you run?" The man in the yellow robe took a step and advanced a hundred meters.
Directly arriving in front of Lin Houyuan.
"Family Head!"
Just as the people of the Lin Family were about to flee, they witnessed this scene.
At the same time, the Huang Family members also rushed over, encircling the Lin Family completely, and even among the crowd, some swiftly set up formation flags.
To replace the former formation base!
They intended to use the formation to trap the Lin Family.
They wanted total annihilation!
"Good timing!" Lin Houyuan lifted his head, facing the Foundation Establishment Stage sword without much fear.
What of Foundation Establishment? What if he killed him!
If he couldn't comprehend the strength of that realm in a few years, he would touch upon that realm just before dying.
We cultivators, why fear death!
Lin Houyuan drew his sword, and flames burst forth instantly.
Unlike Lin Shijie's raw and loose style, Lin Houyuan performed the Fire-returning Fire Sword technique to the utmost limit.
With a thirty-foot-long flame emerging from his sword, it transformed into an even larger flaming greatsword, directly confronting the Foundation Establishment level!
"An ant trying to shake a tree, how ludicrous!" The Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator in the yellow robe pressed down with his hand, and a Third Rank treasure sword descended from the sky as if it were a divine judgment.
Boom!
The flames parted, the Fire-returning Fire Sword was flung away, the spiritual energy drastically reduced, and that Third Rank treasure sword aimed to slay Lin Houyuan.
"Who dares to touch my Lin Family?" A domineering voice came from the sky.
A Qinglian Magic Sword shot down from the heavens, sending the Foundation Establishment cultivator in the yellow robe's Flying Sword spinning away!
"It's the Supreme Elder!"
Upon the arrival of the flying boat, everyone from the Lin Family was overjoyed.
Their belief had returned!
