Chapter 59: The Tragic End of the Lin Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the news of the beast tide spread, the Lin family immediately felt a huge pressure. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of lives lost in vain. It made the Lin family members feel extremely pressured, as if they could not breathe.
It could be said that countless small families that relied on the Lin family to live every day were fleeing the range of Great Yan City.
Some who found it difficult to escape felt despair. They felt that they would definitely die with the Lin family this time.
A storm was brewing, and the entire city was shaking.
In Great Yan City, in the Lin family’s meeting hall, the atmosphere was also very heavy.
This time, there were not many people attending the Lin family’s meeting. Only a few old antiques of the Lin family and a few leaders, as well as the other juniors and those who were not strong enough, did not come.
It was not because of other reasons, but because the things discussed in this meeting were very inappropriate to be spread to others.
“How’s the preparation of our array formation going?” An old antique asked.
“I’ve basically completed the preparations. I’m just a little short. There are still three days until the war. However, these three days are enough to prepare the array formation,” Lin Hao said very respectfully.
Many old antiques nodded.
“How’s the preparations for the month-old banquet in a few days?”
“Everything is ready. The banquet is being prepared. The invitations have been sent. We’re just waiting for that day.” Lin Hao received it.
“Do we have any replies?”
“No one is willing to come. They used all kinds of reasons to decline.” At this moment, Lin Hao’s expression was a little bitter.
“I knew this would happen.”
Outside the meeting hall, a white-robed man walked over with a smile. His sleeves fluttered, and his expression was calm.
“Ancestor!”
“Ancestor!”
Ancestor Lin directly let the Lin family sit down. He sat down with a smile and said,
“To be honest, I really did not expect that the retreat path I prepared in the past would actually be useful after so many years.”
“We’ll wait for the array formation to activate. When we fight, we can use this array formation to let the younger generation leave quickly. As for resisting the Great Abyss, we old things have to do it.”
At this moment, there was no fear in Ancestor Lin’s eyes. He looked at everyone in the meeting hall and smiled, “Although we might not be able to defeat the Great Abyss’s master, no matter what, we can temporarily delay him. No matter what, I can be considered to have half a step into that realm!”
“No matter how strong the master of the Great Abyss is, it’s impossible for him to defeat me in an instant.”
Hearing Ancestor Lin’s words, the hall fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little oppressive.
No one present was stupid. They all knew what Ancestor Lin meant. The Great Abyss’s master was so powerful. In fact, Ancestor Lin was not confident that he could defeat him, but he wanted to hold the Great Abyss’s master back at all costs and let those Lin family juniors escape from Great Yan City.
“I, Lin Hao, have let the Lin family down!”
At this moment, Lin Hao suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to the many elders of the Lin family and even Ancestor Lin with a trace of guilt. His forehead was pressed against the ground as his body could not help but tremble.
At this moment, the corners of Lin Hao’s mouth were also tightly pursed. He knew that if not for Lin Xuan eating the five-colored altar, he might not have faced today’s life and death crisis. The Lin family would still stand at the peak of Qi Mountain County and not face today’s embarrassing situation.
These old antiques frowned. After a while, Lin Bao said coldly,
“Why are you kneeling?”
“Do you think that without Xuan’er, the owner of this Great Abyss would have lived peacefully with us?”
“That’s impossible!”
“Previously, he had been hiding his strength in the Great Abyss for a long time. What was it for? It was for the day he broke through! At that time, would he let Qi Mountain County off? Even without Xuan’er, he would not let us off!”
Another old antique nodded and echoed, “Now, the others in Qi Mountain County are all watching the commotion. They’re simply stupid. When our Lin family can’t hold on anymore, their good days will end as well!”
Another hot-tempered person shouted angrily, “Get up, Lin Hao! You’re the father of my Lin family’s Saint Child! How can you be so down and so cowardly?”
When these old antiques saw Lin Hao kneeling on the ground, they were furious and pained. They were pained because they did not have the strength to protect their descendants. They were furious because the master of the Great Abyss was domineering and arrogant.
Ancestor Lin stood up and helped Lin Hao up.
“Why are you kneeling? I’ve never blamed you!”
“Lin Hao, you have to know how many ordeals our Lin family has gone through in the past?”
Ancestor Lin’s expression was very calm. He walked past the ancestral hall with his hands behind his back. He stood at the entrance and looked at the scenery in the distance. His eyes flickered.
“Countless. I’m already used to using sword lights to illuminate the endless darkness.”
“At this moment, a storm is brewing, and the rain is falling. The calamity of the Great Abyss is about to happen.”
“In the current Qi Mountain County, there are people crying and laughing in the rain. Some people use the roof to hide from the rain, some people hold umbrellas and hang rainbows. There are even some people who watch coldly from the side. There are also some people who bend their backs and want to avoid this rainstorm…”
In the distant sky, it was dark. Great Yan City and even a radius of 50,000 miles felt a great pressure. Their breathing became stagnant.
Ancestor Lin stretched out his palm and stretched it out of the door. His palm faced upwards and slowly tightened.
He stared in the direction of the Great Abyss. A violent aura suddenly erupted from Ancestor Lin’s body. Battle intent soared into the sky!
He turned his head, and flames seemed to flash in his eyes!
“No matter what others do, my Lin family will not hide!”
“Straighten your back! Isn’t he just the master of some Great Abyss? If he dares to come, we’ll dare to fight!”
…
The Lin family arranged many things in the Ancestral Hall, Ancestor Lin told the old antiques to choose the younger generation of the Lin family and prepare the array formation. They would be sent away during the month-old banquet.
In Lin Xuan’s residence, Lin Xuan lay in the arms of Xuan Yu and quietly cultivated.
Lin Xuan knew very well what was happening in the outside world.
The master of the Great Abyss was about to descend and slaughter the Lin family. A pitch-black void crack hung in the sky. In the huge Great Yan City, nine out of ten rooms were empty.
Moreover, from the current situation, the Lin family’s situation was very dangerous.
The master of this Great Abyss could be considered an ancient mighty figure after all. Even the strongest expert of the Lin family, Ancestor Lin, did not have the confidence to win.
Lin Xuan was very anxious, but he also knew that anxiety was actually useless. He could only barely suppress his emotions and quickly refine the lingering purple qi and Dao sounds in his body.
“I should be able to successfully absorb these purple qi and Dao sounds before the full moon banquet.”
“I should be able to take action during the month-old banquet.”
“At that time, I have a higher chance of surviving.”
Lin Xuan thought in his mind. His eyes were closed as he entered a cultivation state with all his attention.
As Lin Xuan cultivated diligently, time passed.
