107: The eight branches of the Lin family, an ancient burial site!

Inside the Liuguang Clan's Forbidden Ground.

Lin Jingyun's chest heaved violently as he gasped for air, staring with bloodshot eyes at the figure outside the clan.

He had originally thought that with a Golden Immortal holding the fort, Lin You would undoubtedly die.

But damn it...

How on earth did this guy manage to do it?

Why...

Why could he reach the Golden Immortal Realm in a single bound!

Looking across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there is no such Breakthrough.

What about your mental state and insights?

What about your accumulated foundation!

It was as if someone had forcibly bestowed cultivation upon Lin You out of thin air.

"Impossible..."

"Impossible!"

"Only the Bloodline of that Great Emperor. Aside from that... I cannot think of a second reason!"

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down Lin Jingyun's cheeks.

He struggled to take a step, wanting to escape, but felt his legs were as heavy as if they had been filled with lead.

Unknowingly, he was already terrified to the point of his liver and gallbladder splitting; that young figure remained like a nightmare, unable to be shaken off.

"I cannot die..."

"Run!"

Thinking of this, Lin Jingyun turned to flee.

What kind of damn grudge was it anyway?

Nothing was more important than his own life!

Suddenly,

The door to the Forbidden Ground was violently flung open.

A figure came tumbling and crawling in from outside.

On Clan Leader Han's face was an indescribable terror.

With Lin You suppressing the area,

In just a short moment, his Liuguang Clan was already flowing with rivers of blood!

If this continued...

They would be completely wiped out!

Clan Leader Han knelt on the ground with a thud, looking at the man before him as if clutching a straw for survival.

"My Lord... save me!"

"Save my Liuguang Clan!"

"I cannot die, I don't want to die, My Lord!"

Lin Jingyun, having his leg hugged, couldn't help but shudder.

"Scram!"

"Get away from me!"

"Trash, all of you in the Liuguang Clan are trash!"

"A True Immortal Realm Lin You, and you actually let him live until now."

"You... go to hell!"

A trace of ferocity flowed through Lin Jingyun's eyes.

He didn't want to stay for even another second.

Lin You's rise was a foregone conclusion.

Returning early to report to the Elders in his Family was the Righteous Path!

Even though he was a Disciple of a Longevity Family and twice Lin You's age,

He still lacked any confidence in a battle between Golden Immortals.

Caught off guard,

A hole was instantly blasted through Clan Leader Han's chest.

His vitality faded visibly, and his face became increasingly pale!

Lin Jingyun stepped forward and snapped his neck.

Silencing the witness!

He must never let anyone know that the Lin Family had once appeared in the Fifth-Rank Star Domain!

After doing all this,

Lin Jingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. His aura climbed to its Peak, and he wanted to traverse the Void Realm to leave directly.

But he instantly froze in place, his pupils uncontrollably contracting.

This world...

Was completely isolated!

In the void, there was an endless, chilling Sword Intent.

"Wh... when..."

Lin Jingyun's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty as he stiffly turned his head.

But he saw nothing.

—Clap...

—Clap, clap...

Behind him,

Crisp applause sounded.

Lin You was sitting in his original seat, looking extremely comfortable.

Beside him lay half a scorching-hot Lin Family token!

"What a fine scene of silencing a witness."

"Tsk..."

"The Longevity Lin Family, how majestic!"

Lin Jingyun squeezed a smile onto his face and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Brother..."

"What are you talking about?"

"What Longevity Lin Family? How could I..."

—Swish.

Sword light flashed past.

Lin Jingyun knelt on the ground, forcibly suppressing the roar that wanted to erupt from his mouth.

His eyes were filled with horror.

His right arm was already empty!

As both were at the Peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, how could he not even have the power to fight back!

Why!!

Lin You's indifferent voice sounded.

"I ask, you answer."

"If I am satisfied, I will give you two breaths of time to escape."

"If you answer wrong, I will sever your limbs."

"From head to toe."

"Finally, I will extract your Divine Soul and interrogate you day and night."

"Understand?"

Looking at the figure before him who was only eighteen years old, Lin Jingyun was as dejected as a stray dog.

Those cold eyes were constantly reminding him that he could be crushed like an ant at any moment!

He clutched his bleeding arm, his face pale as paper.

"Understand..."

Lin You nodded and asked the first question.

"Is the Lin Family a branch of the Longevity Family?"

Lin Jingyun nodded.

"Yes."

"Which branch?"

"The branch of the Ancient War Emperor, Lin Tangfeng."

"Explain clearly."

Sword light condensed at Lin You's fingertips.

"There are eight branches in the Lin Family: the four main branches of Military, Rites, War, and Shadow."

"Plus the four auxiliary branches composed of collateral Disciples of the Lin Family."

"Among them, the Military Department guards the Lin Family, stands against other Longevity Families, and maintains stability within the clan."

"The Rites Department is responsible for the cultivation of Disciples in the clan and the promotion of Elders."

"The Shadow Department exists like secret guards, infiltrating All Heavens and Myriad Realms, while simultaneously contending against other Longevity Families within the Heavenly Patrol Envoy."

"As for the four auxiliary branches, they are not mainstream; they are wherever needed, numerous but not specialized."

"And the War Department..."

Speaking of this, Lin Jingyun's words stalled.

"Hmm?"

Lin You pointed a finger, and a blood hole instantly appeared on the other's shoulder.

"I really don't like you acting like this."

Lin Jingyun let out a muffled groan of pain, a faint cold glint flashing deep in his eyes.

He continued: "The War Department is mainly rooted in the Ancient Burial Ground. As for the rest, even if you ask me, I don't know!"

"In the entire Lin Family, those who know their whereabouts can be counted on one hand."

"I am far from qualified!"

Ancient Burial Ground?

Lin You couldn't help but frown.

This was the second time he had heard this name.

He swept his gaze across Lin Jingyun's face as if scrutinizing him. After a while, he said indifferently:

"Continue."

"The Ancient Burial Ground."

Lin Jingyun's Adam's apple rolled, his lips already dry and cracked.

A large amount of blood flowed out, causing his internal vitality to fade visibly.

"I am only an outer sect deacon in the clan and have no right to interfere with secrets."

"As for the Ancient Burial Ground, I only know that it is a territory jointly controlled by all Longevity Families."

"What is inside, or what it is, I have no idea."

"But what is certain is that every Longevity Family has an existence like the Lin Family's War Department rooted within it!"

"And within the Lin Family, only powerhouses at the Great Saint level are qualified to know a little of the inside story!"

Lin Jingyun shouted this out almost at the top of his lungs.

Jointly controlled by all families?

Lin You's eyes revealed a thoughtful look. Does the Zhuge Family have one too...

Seeing that the other party's expression didn't look fake, Lin You continued.

"Then which branch do you belong to?"

"Why target my Lin Family?"

"And why was the Lin Family banished!"

Lin Jingyun gritted his teeth.

"I don't know."

In an instant, a blood mist exploded from his body.

His whole body was shot out, nearly collapsing!

"I don't like your answer."

In the ruins,

Lin Jingyun's extremely weak voice came.

"I really don't know, it's useless even if you kill me!"

"The War Department concerns the Ancient Burial Ground!"

"I have no right to know!"

"But there is a rumor in the clan that it was your War Department Old Ancestor, Lin Tangfeng, who betrayed the Lin Family, even causing the entire Lin Family to be besieged by All Heavens and Myriad Realms, nearly being wiped out."

"If you ask me which branch I belong to, it is the Military Department main branch. That is all I can tell you!"

"Let me go."

"I guarantee I will never set foot in this Star Domain again for eternity!"
