Lin Xuan's skin, originally gray, was now shrouded in the power of moonlight, making him appear like a massive silver serpent.
In the small town below, thousands of Lin family mbers bore witness to this scene. Even the ordinary townsfolk who had been peeking from various corners had this scene imprinted on their retinas, their expressions filled with astonishnt.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for helping the Lin family survive a life and death crisis. Reward: a hundred years of Qi Condensation cultivation!]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for deepening the bond with the Lin family, unlocking the family's luck.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for deepening the bond with the Lin family and obtaining an elentary Pond of Shedding Mortality.]
A continuous stream of system sounds rang in Lin Xuan's ears. He was initially surprised but quickly understood. The system binding was indeed no joke. He seed to benefit from any form of growth in the Lin family.
With a sway of his body, Lin Xuan returned to the sky above the Lin family's residence in no ti. He looked down from above, his cold eyes scanning the Lin family mbers below.
"Lin Xiuqi, Lin Shanhai, Lin Jinshan, pays respects to Grand Ancestor!"
The three brothers of the Lin family below led the way in bowing respectfully to Lin Xiuqi. The other Lin family mbers quickly followed suit, saying, "We pay our respects to Grand Ancestor!"
The Lin family cultivators were fine, but the thousands of ordinary Lin family townsfolk had all knelt before Lin Xuan, as if worshiping a deity. Lin Xuan's divine appearance shrouded in moonlight indeed bore a resemblance to a deity.
Observing the Lin family mbers, Lin Xuan nodded. He then looked at the middle-aged family head, Lin Xiuqi, and sent a ssage through divine sense.
"I need three days to break through to Foundation Establishnt. By then, the Lin family's crisis can be resolved."
Lin Xiuqi was stunned when he heard this.
Breaking through to Foundation Establishnt in just three days?
Despite finding it incredible, tonight's events had already left him in disbelief, and with Lin Xuan's identity as an Innate Spiritual Beast, he was inclined to believe in his Grand Ancestor. He quickly made a decisive decision.
"Grand Ancestor, rest assured. I will imdiately send Lin family mbers to seal off the entire Qingfeng Town. For three days, no living being will leave. As long as they have no confird information, Zhang family mbers will likely think that Steward Zhang and his group are taking over my Lin family's assets.
"Zhang family's Foundation Establishnt Ancestor is the only one and needs to stay in Renhuai County. He won't leave easily. Although there may be suspicions, delaying for three days should be fine."
Lin Xuan nodded in agreent with Lin Xiuqi's arrangents.
"That's the best."
With that said, Lin Xuan turned around and transford into silver light, heading towards the back mountain of the Lin family. In Lin Xiuqi's mind, Lin Xuan's ssage sounded once again.
"This ti, if I successfully break through to Foundation Establishnt, I'll ensure that the Lin family rises to a Second Rank force within half a month."
As Lin Xiuqi watched Lin Xuan's departing figure, his expression remained stunned.
Second Rank force?
A First Rank force required three Qi Condensation Ninth Layer cultivators, and their influence covered the territory of a town. A Second Rank force required a Foundation Establishnt cultivator and territory encompassing the region of a county. This had been the Lin family's goal for the past hundred years.
Now, Grand Ancestor was saying that after he successfully broke through to Foundation Establishnt, he would help the Lin family promote within half a month.
It was worth noting that the human race had strict requirents for the rank of forces. First, the cultivator must be of the human race, and second, they must originate from the local force.
Lin Xiuqi's words implied that within half a month, he would help a Lin family mber break through to Foundation Establishnt and take control of an entire county's territory. This left him completely dumbfounded.
"Big Brother, what did Grand Ancestor say?"
Beside him, Lin Shanhai, unable to contain his curiosity, asked. It was important to note that, as far back as he could rember, his Big Brother had always been mature and composed, possessing an unshakeable attitude even in the face of a collapsing mountain. Now, seeing this look of shock on his face, it was quite the sight.
Beside them, the third brother, Lin Jinshan, also cast a curious glance, but his curiosity was not directed towards his elder brother but towards their Grand Ancestor. Tonight, the appearance of Grand Ancestor should be the most significant source of curiosity.
Lin Xiuqi returned to his senses upon hearing the question. He shook his head at his two younger brothers. This matter was too significant, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Even if they were his own brothers, Lin Xiuqi had no plans to reveal the details of Grand Ancestor until he had achieved the breakthrough.
"Don't worry, you will find out in three days," Lin Xiuqi said and added, "Pass on my order. All mbers of the Lin family must mobilize, sealing off the entire Qingfeng Town. For three days, no living being is allowed to leave Qingfeng Town."
To emphasize the importance of his command, Lin Xiuqi added, "This is Grand Ancestor's command as well."
Hearing this, the expressions of the Lin family mbers revealed slight surprise. Though they didn't understand the reason, they were determined to execute the command perfectly.
"We shall obey Grand Ancestor's and the family head's orders!"
All around, the Lin family mbers bowed their heads and replied in unison. Afterward, groups of Lin family mbers imdiately put on armor, ard themselves, and headed towards the periphery of Qingfeng Town.
Lin family cultivators, using their Wind Riding Arts, arrived at the four cardinal directions from the sky, making sure not a single living being escaped. For the next three days, Lin family cultivators would take turns ensuring there were no gaps in their surveillance.
Inside the Lin family, Lin Xiuqi watched the reactions of the people and couldn't help but smile wryly. He knew that after tonight, Grand Ancestor's status would likely surpass his own. However, as long as the Lin family could prosper, he didn't have much resistance to this idea.
…
Lin family's back mountain, within the Spirit Pool, Lin Xuan, feeling the movents of the Lin family mbers below, smiled slightly. Although he didn't know if his snakehead had shown his emotions, his feelings had indeed changed as such.
