Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the distance, the Wang family’s ancestor laughed crazily at the mountain peak. He did not know that the Lin family’s Saint Child was actually a baby.

The atmosphere over at the Lin family’s side was very strange.

It was pouring rain. Great Yan City, which was covered in dark clouds, looked especially dark. Ten thousand lights were flickering in the dark sky like candles in the wind.

Even if the rain was pouring now, they could still see that the city was filled with carriages and horses. They were all from rich families who were packing up the gold and silver pieces and preparing to escape. Three days had passed since the master of the Great Abyss sent the decree.

There was no news from the Lin family. However, above Great Yan City, a pitch-black scroll could be seen floating in the air.

That was actually the decree of the Great Abyss’s master. Although the elders of the Lin family had already cut it off when it was announced, it seemed to be eternal and instantly recovered.

This scroll did not have a single word on an ordinary decree, but it was suffused with a fluctuation that made one’s heart palpitate. Dark light swept out as if it could devour everything. When others’ gazes were focused on it, they could not help but be afraid and intimidated.

This decree floated directly above Great Yan City. It could be said to be the greatest provocation. However, after so many days, the Lin family did not express anything.

“Could it be that the Lin family is already afraid?”

“Aren’t you spouting nonsense? Don’t you know who gave this decree? That’s the master of the Great Abyss, a veteran expert who has existed for a long time!”

“Even if the Lin family can be considered to be very powerful, against the master of the Great Abyss, I’m afraid they’ll still be defeated…”

“The Lin family can be considered to be very straightforward and capable. They managed Great Yan City very well. Unfortunately, this Lin family can’t escape destruction…”

...

Plop!

Lightning flashed everywhere, and it was raining heavily.

At this moment, no one in the Lin family walked around casually. The atmosphere of the Lin family became especially heavy and oppressive. Ever since the decree of the Great Abyss’s master descended, the Lin family had fallen into a high alert. There were Lin family guards patrolling every day.

Suddenly, a pair of patrolling guards fell to the ground. There was no sign at all. Two figures suddenly appeared beside the patrolling guard.

With the help of the lightning that streaked across the sky, they could barely see that these two people were Xuan Yu and Lin Hao. Lin Hao secretly apologized to the Lin family’s guard who was lying on the ground. Then, he activated an array formation in a corner in front of him.

“Ah Yu, leave quickly. This array formation can send you and Xuan’er out of Qi Mountain County. After you leave, you have to hide your tracks and not be discovered by others.” Lin Hao’s eyes were filled with gentleness, but one could see a little reluctance and determination.

In this heavy rain, Xuan Yu hugged Lin Xuan in her arms.

Even though Lin Xuan had gone through bitter cultivation and had a certain level of cultivation, it was still impossible for him to not sleep at all. At this moment, he was sleeping. Xuan Yu raised her beautiful face. Her gentle face was pale, and the usual gentle smile also became bitter. She clenched Lin Hao’s sleeve tightly, “Hao, why don’t we leave together? We can leave before others find out.”

When Lin Hao heard his wife’s words, his expression turned a little bitter.

He did not reply at all. He stretched out his hand and gently touched Xuan Yu’s hair. His eyes were filled with reluctance. However, no matter how reluctant he was, he would not leave.

The words “the master of the Great Abyss” carried a greater weight than Lin Hao had expected. The Lin family members had already started requesting them to hand over Lin Xuan and beg for the master of the Great Abyss’s forgiveness. Even though the elders with authority in the Lin family suppressed these voices, there were still some old antiques who did not speak.

Clearly, they already had the intention to resolve the matter through sacrifice. However, even if they handed Lin Xuan over, the master of the Great Abyss would definitely not give up on the idea of destroying the Lin family.

Because the five-colored altar had already been swallowed by Lin Xuan, the conflict between them could not be resolved. Lin Hao was the City Lord of Great Yan City and also the next head of the Lin family. However, even if he had such a responsibility, he was still a father!

After careful consideration these days, it was the first time he had betrayed the Lin family.

That was, he wanted Lin Xuan to leave! He wanted Lin Xuan to live!

Even if his backbone would be broken by the Lin family, even if he could never raise his head in the Lin family and would be despised after death, he would not sacrifice his child!

“Hao, we can leave together. Take Xuan’er with us!” Xuan Yu’s tone was very anxious, and she was already sobbing.

“I won’t leave.”

“Although I’m Lin Xuan’s father, I’m also the City Lord of Great Yan City and the next head of the Lin family.”

In the pouring rain, Lin Hao shook his head. Then, he leaned over and kissed his wife and son on the foreheads.

“Ah Yu, I’ll leave Xuan’er in your care in the future.”

“I wanted to watch him grow up too…”

Lin Hao directly pushed Xuan Yu into the array formation. However, the array formation did not activate.

Lin Hao took a deep breath. When he turned around, his body lit up with golden light, and a weapon appeared in his hand. He protected Xuan Yu and the other two behind him. In front of Lin Hao was a white-robed person. Just his aura alone made it difficult for Lin Hao to move.

“Where do you plan to go?” The white-robed man asked calmly.

“…Ancestor!”

Lin Hao gritted his teeth. Veins popped up on his forehead. He waved the halberd in his hand and forcefully broke through the restriction. The halberd swept towards the white-robed man.

Ancestor Lin only raised his hand. However, before Lin Hao’s halberd could reach, Lin Bao appeared and blocked the two of them.

“Ancestor, listen to me!” Lin Bao shouted.

Ancestor Lin only glanced over lightly.

Lin Bao trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and said, “Ancestor, even if we hand Lin Xuan over, we will definitely die…”

Before Lin Bao could finish speaking, he was sent flying by Ancestor Lin’s palm. Lin Hao and Xuan Yu’s faces were already ashen. Lin Bao struggled to get up but was slapped away.

“Who are you to lecture me?”

“Who said I want to give up Xuan’er?”

“Am I the kind of person who can’t differentiate right from wrong?”

???

Lin Hao, Xuan Yu, and Lin Bao were stunned at the same time. Then, Ancestor Lin directly stepped forward and kicked Lin Hao away.

“At least you have some backbone! You resemble my style from back then.”

Lin Hao seemed to have woken up from a dream and stood up to protect Xuan Yu and Lin Xuan.

“Your strength is not that great, so why are you still acting tough! The child is about to catch a cold!” Ancestor Lin slapped Lin Hao away.

Then, Ancestor Lin stretched out his sleeve to block the rain on Xuan Yu’s head. He directly threw a stack of invitation cards at Lin Hao’s face.

“Xuan’er’s month-old banquet is about to be held. Send them out!”

“Remember to invite everyone in Qi Mountain County! How dare you even think of sending away my precious baby!”

Looking at the invitation letters that fell beside him, Lin Hao was stunned. After a long time, he asked with a trembling voice, “Ancestor… Is what you said true…”

Ancestor Lin glanced at Lin Hao and said, “Go and send out the invitation! What’s the point of asking this?”

Then, Lin Hao directly ran away. Ancestor Lin wanted to hug Lin Xuan, who was in Xuan Yu’s arms. In the end, Xuan Yu took a step back, and there was a little fear in her eyes.

Ancestor Lin was rather helpless.

“Little girl.”

“Do you know my name? What is the name of the sword hanging on my waist?”

Xuan Yu did not understand the meaning of Ancestor Lin’s words.

“My surname is Lin, and my name is Qingtian.”

“This sword is called Three-Foot.”

“This Three-Foot Sword is the key to my Dao corroboration.”

He gently flicked the sword as everyone heard a clear sound. The white-robed old man raised his head, narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and looked at the pitch-black decree in the sky.

“By using the Three-Foot Sword, I can slay flood dragons when I encounter them!”

As soon as Ancestor Lin finished speaking, a voice sounded like thunder,

“Lin Qingtian!”

“You’re declaring war on me?!”

“Do you know that in the future, there will be millions of corpses and rivers of blood?”

On this day, the old man who was drenched in the pouring rain raised his head. His slightly hunched back straightened, as if he was a high-spirited youth.

The old man took half a step forward and slashed apart the decree with his sword. Another sword slashed apart the rain clouds that covered the sky above the Lin family. The old man crossed his arm and looked into the distance, his hair flying.

“So be it.”
