41: Return to the Lin Family! Rewards and Placement!

"What!"

"Lin Xuan, are you telling the truth?"

"The Secret Realm's core has already been refined by you? The previous sudden incident was deliberately caused by you? To deceive the members of the Cai and Bai Families?!"

Lin Tianyu stared at Lin Xuan with a face full of shock, hoping to find the answer on his face.

Just moments ago, everyone was still confused and resentful about the Secret Realm's sudden incident, the atmosphere of the entire team somewhat subdued.

Then, at this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly told them that the Secret Realm's core had actually been refined by him, and everyone had been expelled by him using the Secret Realm's power!

The reason he hadn't told anyone was to avoid suspicion from the Cai and Bai Families that his Lin Family had obtained the Secret Realm, thereby reducing some trouble.

Lin Xuan's words at the time were like a depth charge, instantly stirring up towering waves. Many members of the Lin Family were shocked one after another, looking at Lin Xuan with faces full of disbelief.

Even Lin Tianyu was no exception...

This nephew of his had managed to deceive everyone, hadn't he...

"Heh, Second Uncle, I naturally wouldn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, I'll take you back inside to see for yourself."

Lin Xuan gave a faint smile and spoke.

Receiving Lin Xuan's affirmative reply, Lin Tianyu no longer doubted and immediately wanted to return and try.

"Lin Xuan, let's go. We'll go back and take a look. It just so happens that a little snake your Second Uncle caught in the Secret Realm is still inside."

Lin Xuan naturally did not object and immediately nodded.

Subsequently, the Lin Family members who were halfway on their journey turned around directly and returned to the Secret Realm.

When everyone returned to the original Secret Realm entrance, there were no longer any Cultivators present.

Clearly, the Cai and Bai Families had also long since departed. They would never have expected the Lin Family members to return.

"Enter!"

Lin Xuan shouted, giving everyone a moment to mentally prepare.

Then, in the blink of an eye, everyone returned to the Secret Realm once more.

Moreover, due to Lin Xuan's deliberate control, everyone landed on that super-large island.

Seeing the familiar surroundings, everyone instantly became excited.

"Hahaha, it's true! The Young Lord has really gained control of this Secret Realm!"

"From now on, this Secret Realm belongs exclusively to our Lin Family. We don't have to share it with the Cai and Bai Families anymore. This feels great!"

"I can't imagine howWonderful the expressions of the Cai and Bai Families will be when they one day learn that this top-tier Saint-grade Secret Realm is actually controlled by our Lin Family. Haha!"

"I think their faces will look as ugly as if they'd eaten over ten pounds of *!"

...

"Excellent, excellent, excellent! Lin Xuan, you truly are a lucky star for our Lin Family, bringing back another top-tier Saint-grade Secret Realm for us!"

Lin Tianyu laughed heartily and patted Lin Xuan's shoulder.

He then didn't forget to poke Lin Haoran who was standing beside him a couple of times.

"Unlike this unfilial son, who only knows how to anger me all day long!"

Hearing Lin Tianyu's words, Lin Haoran immediately became displeased and retorted, "Old man, I obtained a great Opportunity this time. Its value is no less than Brother Xuan's Secret Realm!"

"You? I'd thank the heavens if you, this brat, didn't anger me. Expecting you to make a major contribution to the Family?"

"If you really can make a major contribution to the Family this time, I promise I won't bother you for half a year, you can do whatever you want; and you can take whatever you want from your old man's little private stash!"

Lin Tianyu simply didn't believe Lin Haoran's words, thinking he was just bickering with him and didn't take it to heart at all.

Looking at Lin Tianyu's utterly disbelieving face, Lin Haoran gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Fine, old man, you said it yourself. Don't regret it!"

Just you wait, old man!

If I don't clean out all yourSecret stash, I'll be your son!

Wait... I am already his son...

Damn, thisidentity is too much of a disadvantage!

...

Everyone did not stay long in the Secret Realm and soon left, setting foot once again on the road back to the Lin Family.

"Second Uncle, this is the Five-Colored Stone that controls the Secret Realm. I'll give it to you. Afterwards, the Family can arrange for someone toTraction the Secret Realm back to our Lin Family Ancestral Land."

Lin Xuan directly handed the Five-Colored Stone to Lin Tianyu, who did not refuse and decisively accepted it.

Lin Family

Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation appeared above the Lin Family Ancestral Land, followed by a spatialaisle slowly forming, immediately attracting the attention of many Lin Family members.

Upon seeing it was Lin Tianyu and the others, they relaxed and paid no further attention.

"Heh, they're back."

After Lin Tianyu and the others descended, they saw Lin Tianhai and several Elders already waiting there.

"Big Brother!"

"Father!" "Uncle!"

"We pay our respects to the Clan Chief!"

Everyone bowed and saluted Lin Tianhai.

Lin Tianhai waved his hand, swept his gaze around, and noticed that compared to when they set out, there were clearly several dozen fewer people. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh... Let's not talk about the others for now. Tianyu, you report the situation later. As for everyone else, go back and rest for now. We'll discuss any matters tomorrow."

"I, the Clan Chief, promise that afterwards, the Family will also give you generous rewards based on your performance. We will definitely not let your efforts go unrewarded. For the sacrificed clansmen, the Family will also provide the bestresettlement andcondolences to their families."

"Yes, Clan Chief!"

Hearing this, everyone responded and then returned to their respective residences.

After everyone had left, Lin Tianhai then looked at Lin Xuan beside him. He patted Lin Xuan's shoulder and said, "It's good that you're safe! Go and greet your mother quickly, don't let her worry."

"Father, I'll take my leave first then."

"Mm!"

Soon, only Lin Tianyu, Lin Tianhai, and several Elders remained on the scene.

"Second Brother, let's go to the Heavenly Saint Hall. Tell us about the situation of this Secret Realm expedition."

...

In the following days, the Lin Family tallied the gains from this Secret Realm expedition and rewarded everyone involved. The rewards were extremely generous, making the clansmen who entered the Secret Realm happy for a long time.

Among them, Lin Xuan and Lin Haoran, one brought back an entire Secret Realm for the Family, the other brought back most of the foundation and Legacy of an ancient quasi-Emperor-level force for the Family, directly stunning All members of the Lin Family.

Due to theThe two's contributions being too great, it was difficult to decide on rewards. In the end, it was ordered by the Great Ancestor: Lin Haoran would later Cultivate in the Creation Tower, with contribution points onlyA symbolic charge of 10%. Moreover, like Lin Xuan, all resources would prioritize theThe two.

As for Lin Xuan, the Lin Family was also at a loss. All his matters were already treated with the Family's highestSpecification. Now, wanting to reward him, the Family had nothing left to give. Thus, they could only maintain the status quo.

However, Lin Xuan didn't mind this in the slightest.

Finally, the Great Ancestor also gave Lin Xuan and the other one three quasi-Emperor decrees each. As long as they encountered danger, these decrees could offer good protection and buy time for the Great Ancestor to providesupport.

After rewarding all the clansmen who came out alive, the Lin Family also gave those sacrificed clansmen a grand burial, providedlarge amount resources and various favorable policies toresettlement their families well. For those clansmen who had offspring or descendants, the Family would bear all their Cultivation resources until they reached 18 years of age.

Many clansmen were very satisfied with the Family's handling of the matter, and the lives of All members of the Lin Family gradually began to return tocalm...
