76: An ancient freak is born, the pride of the Huanggu Lin family!
Xiao Changsheng stared at Chu Changge with cold eyes.
Now that he thought about it, the sudden hostility between his Xiao Family and the Lin Family must have Chu Changge's involvement.
Chu Changge said indifferently at this moment.
"Explanation? What does This Divine Son need to explain to you?"
"Miss Xiao's disappearance from your Xiao Family for many days is your Xiao Family's business. Her appearance by This Divine Son's side doesn't mean This Divine Son kidnapped her!"
"If This Divine Son truly wanted to do something to Miss Xiao, he would have acted long ago. Could she still move freely as she does now?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Changsheng couldn't help but feel that there was some truth to Chu Changge's words.
Xiao Yanran was not restrained by Chu Changge now.
If she wanted to leave, she could do so at any time.
But why did she stay by Chu Changge's side and not return to the Family?
Xiao Changsheng looked at Xiao Yanran with a question and asked.
"Yanran, come here quickly. Do you know what we've done and what price we've paid to find you during your time away from the Family?"
Xiao Changsheng's tone was not a discussion, but more like a command.
Xiao Yanran shook her head. She hid behind Chu Changge, unwilling to return to the Family's camp.
"You…" Seeing Xiao Yanran's appearance, Xiao Changsheng was so angry his Face turned green.
"Divine Son, I will not return to the Xiao Family. I will not marry into the Lin Family!"
Xiao Yanran directly stated the reason for her leaving the Xiao Family.
At this moment, the people present realized that only three of the four Overlord-level Forces of the Eastern Desolation Dao Domain had arrived.
Not a single person from the Archaic Lin Family was seen.
Many people looked puzzled.
"Strange? Why isn't anyone from the Lin Family here? With the Chaos Divine Mountain appearing, the Lin Family couldn't possibly be so generous as to give up such a great Opportunity!"
"Alas! The four Overlord-level Forces are missing the Lin Family. Otherwise, today might truly become a feat that would be passed down through the ages!"
"Did something happen within the Archaic Lin Family? Otherwise, why aren't they here?"
"…"
The surrounding people discussed, all guessing what had happened to the Lin Family, who had not yet appeared.
Although, during this time, the Xiao Family and the Lin Family had some unpleasantness.
But since the Xiao Family had appeared, it was impossible for the Lin Family to be absent!
Amidst everyone's confusion, someone actually revealed the reason.
"You common folks, it seems your news is still behind. This Venerable One heard that not long ago, Divine Son Chu went to the Lin Family alone to block their gate, and none of the Lin Family's Prodigies were a match for Divine Son Chu."
"In fact, the Archaic Lin Family announced their seclusion and retreat because the young generation of Prodigies in their Lin Family were crippled by Divine Son Chu!"
"…"
Suddenly hearing such news, the surrounding Prodigies looked at Chu Changge with a sense of dread.
Now that the Chaos Divine Mountain was about to open, most Prodigies knew each other's strength and did not take each other seriously.
But now they suddenly heard that Chu Changge, who was originally about the same as them, had single-handedly defeated the entire Archaic Lin Family.
This made them involuntarily show vigilance towards Chu Changge.
They even had thoughts in their hearts that after entering the Chaos Divine Mountain, they would join forces and deal with Chu Changge first.
At this time, Chu Changge glanced at the middle-aged man who had spoken of his feat of defeating the young generation of the Archaic Lin Family.
His information panel appeared in his eyes.
[Name: Zhou Chen]
[Cultivation: King Realm (Ninth Layer)]
[Physique: Heavenly Spirit Physique]
[Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Secrets Divine Calculation (Emperor-Grade First-Order), Divine Derivation Art (Saint-Grade Third-Order)...]
[Fate: Heavenly Secret Pavilion Senior Disciple (Purple)]
[Recent Events: After entering the Chaos Divine Mountain, he obtained the Heavenly Secrets Abacus left by the former Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master. Using the Heavenly Secrets Abacus to deduce Heavenly Secrets, he found an ancient Formation in the Chaos Divine Mountain. Using this Formation, he severely injured many Prodigies!]
Looking at this person's panel, Chu Changge smiled.
"So it's a Disciple of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. No wonder he knows what I've done!"
Chu Changge murmured.
When he went to the Lin Family to block their gate, he didn't make a big show of it.
After successfully blocking the gate and defeating all the Lin Family's Prodigies, he also didn't go around publicizing it. The Lin Family lost Face and also kept silent.
Logically, no one should have known about this gate-blocking incident.
But the Disciple of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion still deduced it through various means.
Xiao Changsheng's eyes were now full of apprehension as he looked at Chu Changge.
"No wonder all the Disciples of the Archaic Lin Family retreated back then; it was because of this person!"
"However, even though he helped our Xiao Family once, This Divine Son will not forgive him so easily. If he hadn't abducted Yanran, how would the Xiao Family and the Lin Family have fallen out?"
Xiao Changsheng said in his heart.
Just as everyone was about to calm down.
In the distance, a mighty commotion came.
Flood Dragons roared, and giant beasts pulled carriages.
The rumbling sound echoed through the heavens and earth.
"What Force is that?"
Someone pointed at the rolling smoke cloud in the distance coming towards them and exclaimed.
"That is… the Archaic Lin Family!!!"
"They actually still appeared!"
A group of people were extremely excited. They originally thought one of the four Forces would be missing, but now it seemed that these four Overlord-level Forces had gathered.
But thinking about it, it made sense. The Chaos Divine Mountain contained a great Opportunity.
All three Overlord-level Forces of the entire Dao Domain had arrived, so how could the remaining one not appear?
After all, this was a great era. One step slow, every step slow.
The middle-aged man named Zhou Chen frowned.
He said with some confusion: "Strange? What's going on? How could the Lin Family appear?"
Under everyone's gaze, the Lin Family also arrived before the phantom of the Chaos Divine Mountain.
Looking at this group of people, Chu Changge saw many familiar Faces.
Those were all his defeated opponents. Now, some of them hadn't even recovered from their injuries, and their pretty Faces were still bruised and swollen.
However, among this group, Chu Changge did discover a strange man with extraordinary demeanor and a powerful aura emanating from him.
"Interesting! It seems the Lin Family has awakened the ancient monster sealed within their Family!"
Chu Changge said with a faint smile.
The leading Lin Family man was arrogant, almost looking at Chu Changge with a disdainful attitude.
"You are Divine Son Chu? The one who went to my Lin Family to block their gate not long ago and injured many of my Lin Family's Prodigies?"
Chu Changge nodded: "It's me. How should Your Excellency be addressed?"
"I am Lin Tianqi!"
"As for your injury to my Lin Family Disciples, after entering the Chaos Divine Mountain, I, Lin, will settle the score with you!"
Lin Tianqi said in a calm tone, as if he was narrating a very ordinary matter.
The surrounding people saw the animosity between Lin Tianqi and Chu Changge. They very tacitly retreated several hundred meters, clearing an open space, lest the two suddenly fight and involve them.
At this moment, Xiao Changsheng frowned. He seemed to have heard the name Lin Tianqi somewhere before.
Suddenly, he remembered and exclaimed.
"Lin Tianqi? Could it be that supreme Prodigy who appeared in the Lin Family ten thousand years ago, the Lin Family's Young Emperor, Lin Tianqi?"
