24: Lin Sili

Soon, the group hadn't walked far.

An ancient, vast, and mysterious hall appeared before them.

Above the hall, a huge redwood plaque hung, with the four characters "Guidance Divine Hall" written in a powerful and flowing script, like a divine Dragon.

Inside and outside the hall, people of the Lin Clan came and went.

They were all Lin Clan disciples who had gone out for training or to complete tasks assigned by the Family.

"Greetings, Young Lord, Little Young Master, and all Seniors."

"Hello, Young Lord Lin Xiao, hello, Little Young Master Lin Yi, hello, all Seniors."

...

The passing Lin Clan members, upon seeing Lin Xiao, all came forward to pay their respects, their eyes filled with immense reverence.

This was the prestige of Lin Xiao, a young giant, within the entire Family.

The Lin Clan has a long and ancient history with numerous branches; just the direct Lin Clan members number in the millions.

If this also included the collateral branches of the Lin Family, then all the young disciples combined would likely number in the tens of millions.

And Lin Xiao, as the most noble and Heaven-Defying in talent among these tens of millions, his status was self-evident.

Moreover, it was rumored that Lin Xiao had long been groomed by the older generation of the Clan as the next Clan Chief, so his prestige couldn't be anything but high.

"Hahahaha, Young Friend Lin Xiao seems to have considerable prestige in the Lin Family," Limitless Sage said with a laugh upon seeing this scene.

Feng Shangning looked at Lin Xiao, and for some reason, a strange sense of pride rose within her.

A voice in her heart seemed to say, "See? He truly lives up to being the man I, Feng Shangning, have attached myself to; he's truly impressive."

"Senior, you flatter me," Lin Xiao replied with a smile, looking at Limitless Sage.

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but that the facts were simply so.

"Everyone, follow me."

"As soon as we enter the Guidance Divine Hall and have the person in charge of the hall open a spatial tunnel specifically for us to return to the Family, we can immediately reach our Lin Clan's ancestral land."

Lin Xiao continued, leading the group into the Guidance Divine Hall.

The passing Lin Clan disciples, seeing Lin Xiao enter the hall, all made way for him, looking at him as if on a pilgrimage.

Upon entering the hall, a giant crystal ball-like object appeared before everyone.

On the crystal ball, countless spatial Laws flowed, and numerous rune patterns were densely distributed.

Each rune pattern represented a spatial tunnel, which was one of the vast foundations of the Lin Clan as an immortal-level force, with its influence spread throughout the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain.

"I am Lin Sili, the general manager of the Guidance Divine Hall in the Western Continent of the Lin Clan, Ancient Desolate Dao Domain."

"Greetings, Young Lord, greetings, Little Young Master, and greetings to the four Seniors."

As soon as the group stepped into the hall, a black-haired, white-browed old man immediately walked towards them, cupping his hands in greeting.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao quickly stepped forward and helped the old man up, "Elder Sili, please rise quickly. I, Lin Xiao, am too young to receive such a grand greeting from you, Senior."

While others might not know the identity of this old man, Lin Xiao was perfectly clear about it.

Lin Sili, approximately a thousand years old this year, was a contemporary of Lin Xiao's grandfather.

Although he was only at the Heaven and Earth Realm, one of the three transformations of the King Sealing Realm, his Cultivation was not high, much weaker than other Elders of the Lin Clan, but his status was not low.

Because he once saved the life of Lin Xiao's father, who is now the current Clan Chief of the Lin Clan.

It was because of this incident that Lin Sili was exceptionally promoted to the position of Elder.

Even today, Lin Xiao's father, despite his Cultivation having reached the seventh level of the King Sealing Realm, one of the four transformations of the King Sealing Realm, still held this Elder in immense respect.

And Lin Xiao, as Lin Changtian's son, should naturally express his respect when seeing this old gentleman; it was the most basic etiquette.

Lin Sili, seeing Lin Xiao's attitude towards him, was momentarily stunned.

Looking at Lin Xiao, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Alas, Young Lord has finally grown up."

"My Lin Clan has always had a clear hierarchy and distinction between Elders and juniors. As the Young Lord of my Lin Clan, Young Master is worthy of such a grandRei from this old man," Lin Sili said.

"Hello, Grandpa Lin Sili," the Little Brat Lin Yi, still held in Lin Xiao's arms, said with a giggle, looking at Lin Sili.

"Hello, Little Young Master," Lin Sili smiled.

He had actually noticed the spiritual energy fluctuations of Cultivation on Lin Yi from the very beginning.

However, thinking that there must be some method within the Clan that allowed Lin Yi to begin his Cultivation path early, he didn't ask further.

"May I ask who these Seniors are?" Lin Sili asked respectfully, looking at Limitless Sage and the others after a brief conversation with Lin Xiao.

"Elder Sili, these Seniors are former subordinates of Old Ancestor Qingyun who, by chance, awoke from their slumber. So I wish to bring them back to the Family to meet Old Ancestor Qingyun."

"And this woman beside me is a maid I took in; her talent is quite good, and I think she can be well-Cultivated," Lin Xiao replied truthfully.

Feng Shangning didn't pay attention to the other words, but the last sentence clearly fell into her ears.

Hearing it, she felt a surge of excitement and showed a joyful expression, "Even Young Master Lin Xiao praised me; it seems my talent is indeed not bad."

"I see. Then this old man shall open a spatial teleportation tunnel directly to the Lin Clan's ancestral land for the Young Lord and these Seniors."

Lin Sili nodded, looking at Limitless Sage and the others with reverence.

Strong individuals are respected everywhere.

"Then we'll trouble Elder Sili," Lin Xiao said.

No sooner had he spoken than Lin Sili waved his right hand, and the crystal in the center of the hall began to spin rapidly.

Immediately after, countless spatial runes began to appear as the crystal ball rotated, transforming from chaotic to orderly.

Finally, with a burst of blue light, a huge spatial tunnel appeared above the crystal ball, before everyone's eyes.

"Young Lord, the spatial tunnel has been set up."

"Everyone, follow me. Through this tunnel is the territory of my Lin Clan," Lin Xiao said, leading the way into the tunnel, with Limitless Sage and the others following closely behind.

Once everyone had entered the spatial tunnel, the tunnel door closed.

Immediately after, everyone only felt their vision darken, then brighten again.

A magnificent and grand palace, adorned with Dragon and Phoenix carvings and filled with countless ancient formations, appeared before them.

"Everyone, follow me. This is my Lin Clan's Hall of Deliberation. I will first take you to see my father, and after that, you can go to the ancestral land to see Old Ancestor Qingyun," Lin Xiao said.

"That's fine. We'll go meet Young Friend Lin Xiao's father first," Limitless Sage and the others nodded.

"Welcome back, Young Lord! Congratulations on your great progress in Cultivation!!!"

"Welcome back, Young Lord! Congratulations on your great progress in Cultivation!!!"

"Welcome back, Young Lord! Congratulations on your great progress in Cultivation!!!"

Lin Xiao had just stepped out of the spatial tunnel.

Outside the hall, the guards who saw Lin Xiao immediately knelt on one knee and shouted loudly at him.

Their voices, like thunder, shook the heavens and reached for thousands of miles, causing other Lin Clan disciples to turn their heads in surprise.
