50: The Lin family left

The next morning.

Outside the Gu Clan mountain gate.

Lin Xiaotian and the other three stopped and looked back. The layered peaks of the Gu Clan were faintly visible amidst the clouds and mist.

Their eyes were filled with intense unwillingness, which ultimately could only turn into a helpless sigh.

Lin Xiaotian raised his hand and patted Lin Dong's shoulder, his voice low: "Dong'er, let's go. The Gu Clan... is not someone we can provoke."

Lin Dong clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, his face full of indignation: "Father, are we just going to let it go like this? That Gu Yun not only... but also..."

As he spoke, his gaze subconsciously glanced at Lin Rou beside him.

Everyone present knew exactly what he meant.

On this trip, his Lin Clan didn't gain any benefits; instead, they lost a daughter-in-Law and sacrificed a daughter.

Lin Xiaotian didn't know that even his own wife had been lost as well.

Having lost everything, it would be no exaggeration to say he was the most aggrieved Great Emperor.

Thinking of how they had arrived in high spirits, only to leave in such a dejected state now, Lin Xiaotian felt a stifling Qi stuck in his chest, neither going up nor down, making him feel suffocated.

"Father, I want to enter the Secret Realm of the ancestral grounds." Lin Rou looked at Lin Xiaotian, her eyes exceptionally firm.

Lin Xiaotian and Zhao Wei's expressions changed upon hearing this.

He raised his hand to set up a soundproofing Barrier and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Rou, do you know what kind of place the Secret Realm of the ancestral grounds is?"

Lin Rou shook her head: "I only know that it is a place that can make people stronger."

"Father, is there some taboo about it?"

At this moment, Lin Dong also cast a curious gaze.

The siblings had only recently returned to the Lin Clan and only had a general understanding of the clan's many secrets; they were not clear on the details.

Lin Xiaotian was silent for a moment before finally speaking: "There isn't really any taboo."

"Actually, my Lin Clan once produced a Heavenly Emperor, but unfortunately, they failed to achieve Immortal Ascension in the end."

"Now, five million years have passed, and the Lin Clan has declined to its current state."

"Fortunately, the Clan Chiefs of past generations all achieved a Breakthrough to the Great Emperor realm, barely managing to keep the Lin Clan from being destroyed."

"And that Secret Realm of the ancestral grounds is actually the burial place for the Clan Chiefs of past generations after they died of old age."

"The reason Father was able to achieve a Breakthrough to Great Emperor was also because I entered the Secret Realm of the ancestral grounds and obtained the Legacy of the previous Clan Chief."

"Most of our Lin Clan members Cultivate the Law of Wood. Once a Clan Chief falls, the Young Clan Chief will attain the Emperor position."

"It is no exaggeration to say that as long as our Lin Clan still exists, everyone in the entire Lin World who Cultivates the Law of Wood can only stop at the Quasi-Emperor Peak in this life."

"Unless a Prodigy as Heaven-Defying as Gu Qingtian appears, only then can they destroy an Emperor and attain the Emperor position."

Lin Rou pressed: "But Father seemed to have some unspeakable concerns just now?"

Lin Xiaotian sighed deeply: "Father can let you enter to accept the trials of the past Clan Chiefs, but you must never step into the core of the Secret Realm, which is where the tomb of that Heavenly Emperor of our Lin Clan is located."

"Great terror is hidden inside there; even Father does not dare to approach it."

Lin Rou nodded: "Father, rest assured, I know my own limits and will not enter the core area."

Although she said this, she had already deeply engraved this matter in her heart.

If there is an opportunity, the core of the Secret Realm might not be impossible to enter.

Lin Xiaotian nodded slightly and turned to look at Lin Dong: "Dong'er, you have already reached the Void Breaking Realm; it is time to start comprehending the Law."

"Your talent is far superior to Gu Yun's, and Father hopes that you will not Cultivate the Law of Wood."

"The Law of Wood can be left to your younger sister to comprehend. If everything goes smoothly, it is not impossible for our Lin Clan to have two Emperors in the future."

"Of course, this is just Father's suggestion; the final choice depends on you."

Lin Dong nodded solemnly: "Father, I will consider it carefully."

Lin Xiaotian looked towards the direction of the Gu Clan mountain gate again and sighed deeply: "The face lost at the Gu Clan can only be won back by you in the future."

"Father's talent is limited, and being able to achieve the Great Emperor realm relied entirely on the Legacy."

Lin Dong also looked towards the cloud-shrouded mountain gate, his eyes firm: "Father, I definitely will."

A flash of killing intent flickered in his eyes.

On this trip to the Gu Clan, besides Gu Yun who must be killed, there was also that person named Cao Bu.

For some reason, every time he saw that person surnamed Cao, he always felt an inexplicable rage, wishing to get rid of him quickly.

"Let's go."

Lin Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand to tear open the Void Realm, took the three of them inside, and disappeared.

Meanwhile, outside Moyue Residence.

Xia Yuan, Song Hao, and Qin Zhan found Leng Yue, their expressions carrying a bit of anxiety.

"Second Mistress, our three daughters have gone missing. We would like to request your authorization to allow us to use our Divine Sense to search the Gu Clan." Xia Yuan got straight to the point, his tone unable to hide his urgency.

They had discovered in the morning that Xia Jingjing and the others were missing. After searching for an hour without any clues, they had no choice but to rush to Moyue Residence to ask Leng Yue for help.

Upon hearing this, three beautiful figures that she had met once flashed through Leng Yue's mind, and she still had some impression of them.

She nodded and said: "I will help you search first."

As her voice fell, her Divine Sense instantly enveloped the entire Gu Clan.

Inside Scholarly Fragrance Courtyard, Su Li held a teacup and sipped lightly.

There was a basement hidden under her courtyard; only she, Cao Bu, and Ye Linglong knew about this.

After returning, she had specially reinforced the Barrier of the basement. Now that her cultivation was on par with Leng Yue's, she was not afraid of being detected.

Just as she expected, when Leng Yue's Divine Sense swept over the courtyard, she did not detect any abnormalities.
