327: Migration Plan, Bloody Cloud Sanren (three-in-one cumulative rewards plus updates)

Beside the Green Lotus Pond, at the pavilion, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Lin Family gathered once more.

Except for Lin Houyong, Lin Shijie, Lin Houfei, and Lin Houyong, who were on Shuangmu Island, all other Foundation Establishment Cultivators were present.

Lin Shiming passed the Jade Slip to everyone, and a hint of panic immediately appeared in their eyes.

Purple Mansion!

This was something the Lin Family was unwilling to face, even if Lin Shiming had broken through to Purple Mansion.

In their opinion, a newly ascended Purple Mansion Cultivator couldn't compare to an old-guard Purple Mansion Cultivator.

"Fifth Uncle, Eldest Uncle, please rest assured. The Purple Mansion matter will be handled by me and Seventh Grand Uncle. This time, the Family will deploy two Purple Mansion Cultivators!" Lin Shiming said, seeing everyone's worry.

"What we are discussing this time is not the aggressive advance of the Heavenly Demon Sect, but the future direction of the Family: whether to lie low, or to evacuate completely!" Lin Shiming spoke again.

He didn't take the Heavenly Demon Sect's attack to heart.

What's more, it was led by the former Li Family. If the Li Family used to be an existence the Lin Family dared not confront directly, their current position was not only reversed, but even worse!

But one thing he had to worry about was whether the Heavenly Demon Sect would send more people later, and the most disgusting thing, if the Heavenly Demon Sect secretly infiltrated and used the Mortals of the Lin Family to refine treasures.

Such things were too common!

He had also considered seeking help from the Qingxuan Sect, but any Cultivators sent by the Qingxuan Sect would surely discover that the Lin Family had many Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and that Lin Houfei and Lin Houyong were Cultivators who had exceeded the age limit. The matters of the Foundation Establishment Pill and the dragon blood pill simply couldn't be explained away!

Not to mention, how would they know that the Heavenly Demon Sect would attack a month later? They might even investigate whether the Lin Family was colluding with the Heavenly Demon Sect!

Given the Qingxuan Sect's current attitude of 'one less trouble is better than one more', it was uncertain how many Cultivators would come. If he couldn't act and they couldn't provide adequate protection, that would be even more troublesome!

As Lin Shiming's words fell, upon learning that two Purple Mansion Cultivators from the Family would be deployed, the brows of Lin Houyong, Lin Houfei, and others relaxed.

"Fifth Uncle, you speak first!" Lin Shiming looked at Lin Houyong. As the current Family Head, his judgment at this moment might be even more accurate than Lin Shiming's!

"Shiming, a full-scale evacuation is definitely not possible!" Lin Houyong hesitated for a few moments before speaking.

"The Family currently has over five thousand Cultivators. Innate and Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivators account for fifty percent of them. This is the future wealth of the Lin Family, and also its heavy burden!"

Lin Houyong slowly explained. The consumption of over five thousand people, plus the fact that most of them were not strong in combat, meant that if they all retreated to a sea island, the dangers they would face were imaginable!

Moreover, if many of the Lin Family's industries were abandoned, it would lead to the Family's finances being insufficient to cover expenses!

The most important thing in the Cultivation World was circulation, unless the Lin Family found a Human Race gathering place in the Outer Sea.

"In addition, the Mortals of the Family now number over seven hundred thousand!"

Lin Shiming nodded after hearing this. Mortals were also a significant number that could not be underestimated. Without the foundation of Mortals, the Lin Family would definitely not have produced Cultivators so quickly!

Purely relying on Cultivator reproduction would not produce many Cultivators; the base was too small.

"Shiming, if you're worried that this Heavenly Demon Sect attack will expose us, then start a partial evacuation. The Family currently has ten third-grade spirit boats, capable of relocating fifty thousand people at a time. We will continue to purchase third-grade spirit boats intermittently in other continents, but there's a new problem: these Mortals cannot enter the Teleportation Array!" Lin Houyong said with some concern.

As of now, the Lin Family still didn't know the exact location of the Outer Sea and could only travel there via Teleportation Array!

"I'll figure out a way for them to enter the Teleportation Array!" Lin Shiming immediately said.

Mortals couldn't use teleportation talismans. Of course, even if they could, teleporting such a long distance, the spatial force would crush the Mortals into a bloody mist through the spirit talisman!

But for Lin Shiming, he had a Grotto-heaven World. He could use slumber talismans to put all the Mortals to sleep, then place them in the Grotto-heaven World and bring them to Shuangmu Island.

The only concern was how to migrate them more meticulously and, as much as possible, without revealing the existence of the Grotto-heaven World!

"Fifth Uncle, immediately arrange for the evacuation of Mortals from Lingnan County in the next few days. Evacuate one hundred thousand. Always consider the worst-case scenario!" Lin Shiming immediately said.

Lingnan County had been occupied by the descendants of the Five Poisons, and the number of Mortals had significantly decreased, which could be explained away.

Those evil Cultivators who slaughtered cities to refine treasures would not show any mercy.

Moreover, a month's time was ample. Migrating those Mortals was much more troublesome than Cultivators.

"Good!" Lin Houyong also nodded.

"In addition, this time, the Family will also establish a Hall of Teachings on Shuangmu Island, and the Family will transfer seven hundred Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivators, three hundred Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivators, and one hundred Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators!" Lin Shiming spoke again.

Shuangmu Island definitely couldn't accommodate so many Mortals. Opening up new spirit islands was an urgent matter, and those small islands could house people, but they also needed Cultivators to protect the Mortals, as there were many Yao Beasts on the sea islands!

And on Shuangmu Island, there was the Sword Pavilion, as well as the Artifact Refining Hall and the Alchemy Hall. In the future, Shuangmu Island would be the true core island of the Lin Family.

"Big Brother, before this, the Yellow Grade Secret Realm needs to be visited again!" After arranging the migration of Cultivators and Mortals, Lin Shiming immediately looked at Lin Shijie.

The migration of Cultivators would inevitably cause a shortage of basic resources for the Lin Family, such as some simple Spirit Medicine and Materials.

And the Yellow Grade Secret Realm had reached a new harvest period.

The Mingxin Tea Tree, Blood Crocodiles, and even demon-attracting flowers, and other Spirit Medicine resources within it, were also a considerable sum.

After the Lin Family collected them, it would definitely provide a buffer for a good period of time.

"Good, I'll handle this!" Lin Shijie also nodded. Although he was only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage now, even a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator was generally not his opponent. Many of his Magical Artifacts were ones Lin Shiming had used before, and his combat power, compared to Lin Shiming at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, even slightly surpassed him in terms of break out.

Leading a team to extract resources from a Yellow Grade Secret Realm was naturally very easy.

"All activities will be carried out under the guise of the Family Grand Competition!"

"Good!" Everyone nodded.

After speaking, Lin Shiming also brought up Lin Shiyuan's matter and immediately persuaded Lin Houyong and Lin Houfei.

The two were also overjoyed. For Lin Shiming and Lin Shijie, who might aspire to Golden Core, they wouldn't consider this matter so early, but for Lin Houyong and Lin Houfei, who couldn't even foresee breaking through to Purple Mansion, they naturally had such plans...

In front of a gloomy peak in the Qingyun Mountain Range, inside a giant cave one zhang high, several coffins were arranged one by one. A black-robed old man continuously added some special Materials.

Behind the old man, a young man looked anxiously at him, then plopped down and knelt on the ground.

"I beg Revered Master, save my Family this one time. I am willing to cultivate the Corpse Dao, to enter the corpse with my body!" The young man was Lin Shimo.

The old man did not speak. He continued to look at the coffins, his eyes filled with intoxication, as if what was before him was the most beautiful artwork in the world.

Then, the old man's body also began to grow corpse hair, looking somewhat ferocious, and the Materials he had just added to the spirit corpses were now being added to himself.

He seemed not to have heard, letting Lin Shimo kowtow behind him.

He continued to be engrossed in corpse refining.

After a long time, the corpse hair disappeared, and he turned his head to look at Lin Shimo's already bruised face.

"You should know that from the moment a Cultivator steps onto the Immortal Path, they should not have the ridiculous attachments that Mortals have!"

The old man slowly spoke, still not agreeing.

"Revered Master, you often say that for Cultivators, whether of the Righteous Path, Demonic Path, or Corpse Dao, the most important thing is a flawless Dao Heart. Lin Mo's Dao Heart is only lacking this one point!"

Seeing this, the old man shook his head, quite annoyed.

"Forget it. The Purple Mansion Cultivator heading to the Lin Family this time, I once knew him. His name is Loose Immortal Blood Cloud. Take this token of mine; it can preserve a few Geniuses of the Lin Family!"

"As for preserving the entire Lin Family, that's impossible. This might involve the Qingxuan Sect's Immortal Master Divine Machine's path to enlightenment!" The old man finished speaking, then threw down a token and disappeared into the depths of the Immortal Cave.

Seeing this, Lin Shimo picked up the token and flew out of the cave...

A month's time passed quietly. The Lin Family's Martial Arts Hall also began its triennial Grand Competition.

At this time, it was bustling with people, and many Cultivators were excited.

For the Lin Family Cultivators, each Grand Competition could change their stipend. Those who had diligently cultivated for three years were naturally full of confidence, while those whose cultivation had reached a Bottleneck and stagnated hoped to find a Breakthrough opportunity by dueling with clansmen of similar strength in the Grand Competition.

Moreover, the rewards for the Family Grand Competition were exceptionally rich.

Currently, the Lin Family Grand Competition still only targeted Cultivators under sixty years old, but even so, there were over a thousand participating Cultivators, divided into Qi Refining Early Stage, Qi Refining Middle Stage, and Qi Refining Late Stage!

This was after staggered batches.

And the Lin Family's key support targets had increased from three to more than ten.

Furthermore, the Grand Competition also added assessments for Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Formation, and Talisman Refining.

Those outstanding in the four arts of cultivation also had the chance to be selected as the Ten Elites of the Lin Family!

The Grand Competition was in full swing, and outside Fangmu Mountain, dark clouds began to gather and move towards Fangmu Mountain.

It was as if a heavy rain was about to arrive.

The air was unusually heavy, and the Cultivators on the arena quickly felt the oppressive sensation.

They looked up one after another, only to see ghost wails suddenly erupt from the dark clouds. Countless ghost heads flew towards the Lin Family's mountain-protecting Formation.

Immediately after, black-robed Cultivators appeared one by one. Their faces were all hidden beneath their black robes, except for the leading Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, who stepped forward, opening his black robe to reveal a handsome face.

"Qingyun Mountain, Li Family, descendant of Li Chuanhuan, Li Xinfeng, has come to collect a debt!"

Speaking in unison were more than ten Li Family members.

"Qingyun Mountain, Li Family, Li Xinhuo, has come to collect a debt!"

...A series of resounding voices immediately caused panic among the Qi Refining clansmen of Fangmu Mountain.

These dozen or so individuals were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Although most of them were at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, the pressure they exerted was still immense for Qi Refining Cultivators!

And it was undeniable that after the Li Family pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Demon Sect, they at least gained a moment of respite.

In addition, the Heavenly Demon Sect's Foundation Establishment Cultivators also reached over a dozen!

Among them, there were three Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators alone.

Over twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators and a hundred Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators constituted all the Cultivators brought by the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Li Family this time.

The lineup could be described as luxurious to the extreme; an ordinary Purple Mansion Family without a Purple Mansion Cultivator would absolutely not be able to withstand it. What's more, every Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Heavenly Demon Sect possessed a Heavenly Demon Banner, and many third-tier Devil Heads were imprisoned within them!

On the field, Lin Houyong took out a sound transmission talisman. He released the sound transmission talisman into the air, but before it could enter the Void Realm, it turned into a spirit talisman and fell.

Apparently, Fangmu Mountain was already enveloped by a Formation, making it impossible to transmit sound to the outside world. Furthermore, everyone's Divine Sense could only cover a radius of three hundred li!

Beyond that was a barrier that completely isolated the inside from the outside!

Lin Houyong felt relieved seeing this. He suddenly charged out and spoke loudly.

"Everyone, protecting the Lin Family is now!"

Also flying out were Lin Shijie, whose body was covered in fire-forged Sword Intent, Lin Houfei, who was laden with Magical Artifacts, the indomitable Lin Houyong, Lin Shilei and Lei Xuan, who wore thunderous magical robes, Lin Shiyi, who resembled a ferocious mountain ape, Lin Houshou, a Blood Demon Body Cultivator, Lin Houwei with his zijin gourd, and Lin Houxuan, who had broken through Foundation Establishment twice.

Except for Lin Houyuan, who was stationed on Shuangmu Island, Lin Shitao, who was stationed in Shiling Cave, and Lin Houyuan, who was stationed in Qingyun Market, the Lin Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators all came out for the first time!

Everyone's eyes were firm and filled with Killing Intent!

And in the first instant, they reached for their spirit beast pouches, one Spirit Control Seal after another being cast!

"Chirp!"

"Chirp!"

Under the control of the Spirit Control Seal, cries echoed.

The soaring third-tier Sea Cloud Birds, the circling third-tier Thunder Spirit Turtles, and also third-tier Azure Armor Crabs, third-tier Thunder Spirit Turtles.

Nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but eighteen third-tier Yao Beasts, flew out together.

They almost occupied the entire sky above Fangmu Mountain. Their wide wingspan, azure wind feathers, and the pervasive thunder Spirit Qi shook the entire Fangmu Mountain!

At this moment, all the Lin Family members felt their hearts surge. For the first time, they knew that their Lin Family had already exceeded ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

The Lin Family's previous prudence was merely forbearance!

And now, this was the true Lin Family!

A group of Late Qi Refining Cultivators also all flew up on their Flying Swords!

Since the Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators had all come out, not at all weaker than the Heavenly Demon Sect's enemies, what reason did they have not to fight!

Moreover, other clansmen said they received double and triple stipends; now was their chance to prove themselves!

A full three hundred Late Qi Refining Cultivators rose on their Flying Swords, a dense mass, their Aura also soaring to the sky.

The Li Family Cultivators and Heavenly Demon Sect Cultivators all had their expressions drastically change!

According to their intelligence, the Lin Family had at most five or six Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and one Foundation Establishment Cultivator was in Qingyun Market.

Not to mention, at present, controlling so many third-tier Yao Beasts, even the Cultivators of the Spirit Beast Sect might not be able to surpass this!

The key was that most of the Spirit Beast Sect's third-tier Yao Beasts were cultivated generation after generation, but how long had the Lin Family been around!

"But they are all just Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators!"

"The main point is to destroy the Lin Family and capture Lin Shiming!" Li Xinfeng was somewhat shocked, but the several Late Foundation Establishment Stage Heavenly Demon Sect Cultivators behind him spoke with disdain.

In their eyes, no matter how many Foundation Establishment Middle Stage or Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators there were, they were merely a bit troublesome, requiring more time!

But that was all!

One Heavenly Demon Banner after another began to appear, countless Devil Heads gathering!

And at the same time, four Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators also charged out first!

"Good timing!" Lin Shijie laughed loudly. Five spiritual flames gathered and formed around him, and terrifying temperatures swept out wave after wave of heat!

And in the next moment, the five spiritual flames converged into a spiritual sword, and five terrifying fire Sword Intents instantly cut many Devil Heads into pieces!

Lin Shijie also directly confronted a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Heavenly Demon Sect Cultivator!

"Even if you have Sword Intent, you are still only one person!" The black-robed Heavenly Demon Sect Cultivator spoke with disdain!

The remaining three could still deal with Lin Houyong and other Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivators one by one!

But before the three could make a move!

Next to the Green Lotus Pond, a giant fire ape, fully ten zhang tall, covered in spiritual fire, leaped from the mountain, wielding a Crimson Flame Fire Staff and a Yuan Magnetic Seal as it charged out!

The terrifying spiritual fire transformed into a fire fox, also heading towards the demon Cultivators.

The enormous spiritual fire suppressed these Heavenly Demon Sect Cultivators far more than Sword Intent, not to mention the unique fire of the Red-haired Demon Monkey after it absorbed the spiritual fire from the Magical Treasure Pill Furnace!

In a blink of an eye, the three Late Foundation Establishment Stage demon Cultivators exchanged glances, already feeling a bit daunted!

But they still charged out bravely, three Heavenly Demon Banners directly meeting the unique fires!

And countless demonic needle Magical Artifacts shot towards the Red-haired Demon Monkey!

At this moment, everyone only felt that the peach blossoms of the Peach Blossom Grove seemed to be flying in the air!

That feeling was very mysterious!

And a blazing golden light flashed by!

By the time everyone recovered their senses!

One of the four Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators was already split in two.

The enormous golden scythe-like limb, coupled with the unexpectedness of the peach blossom river scenery painting, instantly killed one person!

In the dark clouds, an Aura suddenly appeared.

Terrifying blood Qi, along with demonic souls, surged out one by one, transforming into man-eating evil spirits!

They lunged towards the Golden Winged Mantis!

"Can't you hold back?" In the Void Realm, another voice sounded.

The transparent colorless silkworm coffin opened, and a Flying Sword Magic Treasure shot into the demonic cloud.

At the same time, an even more torrential Sword Intent appeared.

Like a storm, it began to rage wildly.

In the Void Realm, one emerald green Sword Grass after another grew against the wind!

"Purple Mansion Sword Cultivator!" Loose Immortal Blood Cloud in the demonic cloud felt his mind unable to process it.

A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator suddenly transformed into a Purple Mansion Cultivator!

Clearly, their intelligence was still twenty years old!

In their opinion, no matter how much of a Genius Lin Shiming was, even if he completed a Breakthrough, he could only reach the Late Foundation Establishment Stage!

"Impossible, you are a Named Disciple of the Qingxuan Sect, you can't be!" Loose Immortal Blood Cloud recalled something the Heavenly Demon Sect had instructed.

At the same time, under the demonic cloud, another blood-red spiritual talisman was about to pass through the barrier!

But in the next moment, a Spirit Devouring Ant, with a ferocious head, swallowed the blood-red spiritual talisman in one bite!

And its fangs kept widening, hissing and shrieking!

As if asking, is there any more!

And Lin Shiming's Tribulation Transformation Sword Intent also completely condensed successfully!

A full hundred Heaven-Slaying Sword Grasses swept towards the demonic cloud!

Loose Immortal Blood Cloud's hair stood on end, feeling as if he was on the verge of life and death!

He hadn't expected that Lin Shiming had not only broken through to Purple Mansion, but his strength was also terrifyingly exaggerated!

So he no longer dared to hold back. He once again took out a Heavenly Demon Banner Magic Treasure. The two demonic banners formed a pincer, and as the demonic clouds gathered and demonic Qi clashed, a terrifying three-headed Devil Head was summoned.

A red bag at his waist was also torn open. In an instant, countless wails and countless fresh blood rushed towards the demonic banners!

Blood sacrifice, live human blood sacrifice!

Loose Immortal Blood Cloud's expression was normal!

The three-headed Devil Head's body instantly expanded tens of times, like a giant demon descending upon the world. All the demonic clouds in the sky turned into blood clouds, and Lin Shiming's Tribulation Transformation Sword was completely blocked by that Devil Head!

Countless sword lights permeated, but they were absorbed by the incredibly thick blood clouds. Even though the Sword Grass could slay the heavens, at this moment, under such dense blood clouds and the giant three-headed Devil Head, it was still completely neutralized!

Lin Shiming's face was a bit pale and somewhat disbelieving!

This was the first time his Tribulation Transformation had no effect!

And Loose Immortal Blood Cloud also sneered.

With a change in his spiritual art, the three-headed Devil Head grabbed towards Lin Shiming!

And almost at the same time as the grab, the peach blossom river scenery painting in the Void Realm slowly unfurled again.

This time, however, it wasn't a golden light, not the Golden Winged Mantis, but a golden sword lotus!

The golden sword lotus was unleashed too quickly, so fast that no one could see it clearly!

It charged towards Loose Immortal Blood Cloud!

At this moment, Loose Immortal Blood Cloud's demonic banner techniques were all directed at Lin Shiming; his old strength was gone, and new strength had not yet been generated!

Not to mention, at this moment, he could no longer change his spiritual arts!

He couldn't believe that the Lin Family not only had one Purple Mansion Cultivator, but two Purple Mansion Cultivators!

Moreover, they were two Purple Mansion Sword Cultivators!

Under Loose Immortal Blood Cloud's crazed expression, another blood-red cloth bag was torn open, and countless wails emanated. At the same time, a dark black magical seal on his chest transformed into a giant beast, swallowing all the blood clouds in one gulp!

In the next moment, the magical seal turned entirely blood-red, and countless beast souls manifested, rushing towards the sword lotus!

With two loud bangs!

Countless blood lights and golden sword lights intertwined, and in an instant, all the demonic clouds were dispersed!

And Loose Immortal Blood Cloud also lost all Battle Intent!

With two Sword Cultivators, even he wasn't confident of victory, let alone his original goal was to capture Lin Shiming, a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator!

Now that the intelligence was wrong, it would be enough if he could get out alive and transmit the message.

He once again spat out essence blood, about to transform into a blood escape!

But in the next moment, a dark black Poison Flood Dragon, having flown out at some unknown time, spewed out countless poisonous mists, submerging him!

At the same time, its huge dragon tail also slammed down fiercely, sending Loose Immortal Blood Cloud's entire body crashing into the ground.

The dark light Magical Treasure spiritual armor, under the corrosive poison, began to lose its Spirit Light, and with that fierce strike, it shattered into pieces.

"You won't have an easy time either!" Loose Immortal Blood Cloud's face was incomparably ferocious. In his hand, a Formation Plate was about to be savagely crushed!

It was precisely the barrier Formation Plate outside.

If the barrier Formation was broken, he could transmit a message, and with so many demon Cultivators, at least someone would get the message out.

However, in the next moment, a hand passed through his chest, shattering his spirit platform and seizing the Formation Plate.

He turned his head in disbelief, only to see Lin Shiming's cold gaze!

Then his consciousness dissipated, and Lin Houshou immediately charged out, revealing the Blood Demon Breaking Restriction he had refined through Blood Demon Body Refining!

Of course, this Blood Demon Breaking Restriction was not refined from the blood of Mortals, but utilized the countless Yao Beasts of the Outer Sea, yet only this one was successfully condensed!

At this moment, the Sect Jade Slip in Loose Immortal Blood Cloud's Divine Soul was also shattered by the Blood Demon Breaking Restriction!

And Lin Shiming's Divine Sense also began to search his soul!

On the other side, Lin Shijie had already slain that Late Foundation Establishment Stage demon Cultivator with a single sword strike. Under the cooperation of the Red-haired Demon Monkey and the Golden Winged Mantis, the remaining demon Cultivators and Li Xinfeng were also killed!

The other Foundation Establishment Cultivators were also all slain under the cooperation of the Lin Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Spirit Beasts!

The Lin Family achieved a great victory!
