84: The big competition is coming!

"Congratulations to Second Ancestor on breaking through to Quasi-Emperor!"

"Hahaha, now that Second Ancestor has broken through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, our Lin Family's strength has also reached a new level!"

"With Grand Ancestor having broken through before, and now even Second Ancestor has broken through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, our Lin Family's true rise is just around the corner, hahaha!"

...

Seeing Lin Changxue finish her tribulation, everyone instantly surged forward, offering congratulations one after another, while also laughing with uncontrollable excitement.

They felt genuinely happy for the improvement in the Lin Family's strength.

"Big Brother, I've finally caught up to you."

Seeing everyone, Lin Changxue first looked at Lin Changxiao and said with a smile.

Then she smiled at the other Lin Family members and said, "You little ones are thoughtful."

As the Lin Family's only female Ancestor and the strongest among the Lin Family's female members, Lin Changxue's personality had always been strong. She respected Lin Changxiao as her Big Brother and also regarded Lin Changxiao as her goal to catch up to.

"Hehe, it's good that Changxue you've broken through! As for me, your Elder brother, I'm just exploring the path for you first. In fact, I wish that each and every one of your cultivation levels surpasses mine."

Lin Changxiao laughed.

Then he looked at the Clan Elders, Lin Tianhai and other contemporary high-level members, as well as top talents like Lin Xuan: "These words are also what this Ancestor wants to give to you little ones. I hope that in the future, each and every one of you can surpass this old man and strengthen our Lin Family!"

He wasn't afraid of the younger generation surpassing him; what he feared was that no one from the younger generation could surpass him...

Only with the continuous emergence of talents can it prove that his Lin Family is constantly moving forward, rather than standing still or even facing a talent shortage.

Geniuses are always the key for a force to continuously inherit!

"Grand Ancestor, we will definitely Cultivate diligently and catch up to your pace!"

Hearing Lin Changxiao's words, everyone also shouted with determined faces.

Seeing this, the three of them, including Lin Changxiao, all nodded in satisfaction.

After a long while, Lin Changxue also left the scene, because she needed to first consolidate her cultivation.

After Lin Changxue left, Lin Changxiao then inquired about the recent situation:

"Tianhai, has there been any activity from Lingyun Pavilion recently?"

Seeing Lin Changxiao bring up the main topic, Lin Tianhai also became serious and reported the recent situation:

"Reporting to Grand Ancestor, the Dark Spirit Guard has been keeping a close watch on every move of Lingyun Pavilion recently. We found that after retreating that day, Lingyun Pavilion activated its Sect-protecting formation and sealed its mountain gate. To this day, the Black Spirit Guard has not seen anyone from Lingyun Pavilion come out..."

"This Junior presumes that Lingyun Pavilion is likely afraid of our Lin Family arriving with the Emperor Weapon, so they plan to defend the mountain gate and rely on their Sect's foundation to guard against our Lin Family."

"Furthermore, Lingyun Old Ancestor was severely injured by you, Grand Ancestor. Now they are probably busy trying to find a way to treat that old monster and dare not make any moves. Therefore, this Junior believes that for now, there is no need to worry about Lingyun Pavilion pulling any tricks."

Hearing this, not only Lin Changxiao but also the others nodded in agreement, clearly quite accepting of Lin Tianhai's speculation and views.

And just as Lin Tianhai and the others speculated, within Lingyun Pavilion, they were now extremely worried due to the threat of the Lin Family's Emperor Weapon and Lingyun Old Ancestor's injuries...

"Still not working..."

"Although Martial Uncle's external injuries are basically fine, the extreme power of the Emperor Weapon within Martial Uncle's body is something we are completely unable to remove with our strength. Now, that extreme power is constantly destructively damaging Martial Uncle's Physical Body and Meridians..."

"Even with the help of the five of us, plus Martial Uncle himself suppressing it with all his might, we can still only temporarily suppress it and cannot remove it at all. If this continues, Martial Uncle might..."

A Quasi-Emperor Fourth Heaven Ancestor of Lingyun Pavilion said with an anxious expression.

The other few people were also extremely anxious at this moment, but they were helpless.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Alright... you don't need to worry about my injuries, this old man can still suppress it for a while... What you need to do now is guard against the Lin Family's surprise attack. You have also witnessed the power of the Emperor Weapon. We can only rely on the Sect-protecting formation and the Sect's foundation to possibly block it..."

"But the prerequisite is to know the Lin Family's movements, otherwise, if the other party suddenly attacks while our defenses are weak, it will be too late... Therefore, you must send people to keep an eye on every move of the Lin Family."

Lingyun Old Ancestor said with a weak expression.

"Martial Uncle, rest assured, the Dark Hall has been keeping an eye on the Lin Family, and they haven't made any moves yet."

...

"Oh right, Grand Ancestor, in seven days it will be our Lin Family's decennial Family Competition. Given the current situation, should this competition be postponed?"

At the end, Lin Tianhai suddenly remembered something, and then respectfully inquired of Lin Changxiao.

And hearing Lin Tianhai's words, Lin Changxiao and the others who were preparing to leave also became interested.

The Family Competition, also known as the Lin Clan Competition, includes the main Lin Family and all its branch families. This is also the biggest event for the Lin Family's younger generation and the best opportunity for the Lin Family to observe the overall situation of the younger generation.

Hearing this, Lin Changxiao thought for a moment and then slowly said:

"It can be held as scheduled. With our Lin Family's current strength, we don't even pay attention to ordinary insignificant forces. As for those top-tier forces and overlord forces, if they wanted to attack our Lin Family, they would have done so long ago, and wouldn't need to wait until now."

Hearing Lin Changxiao's words, everyone nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement.

Just as Lin Changxiao said, with their Lin Family's current formidable strength of having two Quasi-Emperors and an Emperor Weapon suppressing their foundation, the Lin Family had no fear of other forces except for the top-tier and overlord forces in Central Province.

And now that five days have passed since the end of the great battle, if those top-tier forces and overlord forces wanted to attack their Lin Family, they would have done so long ago, so why wait until now?

"This Junior understands, Grand Ancestor."

"I will inform everyone immediately, this competition will proceed as usual!"

After receiving Lin Changxiao's approval, Lin Tianhai also quickly cupped his hands and said.

Then he and the Elders left Tianyun Sea and began discussing and arranging the various matters for this Family Competition...

...

Time flew by, two days had passed.

Ten Thousand Dynasty Domain, Salt City.

In front of a mansion, a young man with a black ruler on his back, firm eyes, and a dignified bearing was waving goodbye to a large crowd.

"Father, esteemed Elders, Lin Family members, please return!"

"This time, I will definitely make our Yancheng Lin Family return to the main Family and fulfill the wishes of our ancestors throughout the generations!"

The young man's tone was confident, his posture was upright, and his steps were vigorous, yet he did not look back, leaving behind only a peerless back view for everyone, as if it were enough to be unparalleled in an era.

...

Ten Thousand Dynasty Domain, Tianyan Dynasty, Fucheng.

"Dong'er, be careful on your journey... The Lin Family is incapable and cannot escort you, you can only rely on yourself for this trip..."

A slightly aged man stood in front of hundreds of people, patted the shoulder of the handsome young man before him, sighing as he gave instructions.

Before the young man could speak, the others behind the man also spoke up one after another, making the young man momentarily at a loss. In the end, he could only say firmly:

"Father, and all Lin Family members, please rest assured, Lin Dong will definitely not disappoint you. In this competition, this Junior will definitely take first place!"

After speaking, the young man cupped his hands towards everyone, turned around, and left without looking back.
