Chapter 57: Storm Arrives, City in Chaos!
The mountains were verdant. Under the jade-blue sky, there was a gentle breeze. The sun shone brightly, and one could see ancient buildings hiding in the mountains. There were vermilion fences and jade tiles, thin fog surrounded them, and spiritual birds danced in the air. It could be seen that cultivators with ethereal appearances ca in groups.
This was one of the ten great families of Qi Mountain County, the Shen family.
The Shen family was extrely powerful, but it was not only because of their strength, but also because of their wealth. They were also on good terms with the Curtain Rain Chamber of Comrce and was known as the number one wealthy family in Qi Mountain County.
A wealthy-looking man in his forties was sitting before a table. He held an account book in his hand and was carefully calculating. This small account book recorded the changes in the flow of thousands of spirit stones.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
At this mont, a rhythmic knock sounded from outside the door. The stout man did not even raise his head and directly said, “Co in.”
A figure walked in and half-knelt on the ground. He said respectfully, “Family Head, there’s news from the Lin family.”
“What news? I think it should be… Sigh! I didn’t expect the Lin family to actually fall to such a state. Who asked them to provoke soone they shouldn’t have? Everyone who does business knows to be friendly. Their Lin family is a large family in Qi Mountain County, and that Lin Hao is the City Lord of Great Yan City, how can they not know how to be friendly?”
The stout man directly sighed and waved his hand, saying, “If they really ca to ask for help, there’s no need to tell . Just say that my Shen family hasn’t been able to make a move recently. Just say that the sea beasts have already attacked. We don’t have the spare energy to reinforce them. Ask the Lin family to understand our situation.”
Then, the stout man focused his gaze on the account book in his hand, but the person who ca to send the ssage was a little embarrassed. He took out an invitation card from his pocket.
“That, Family Head, it’s not like that. The Lin family did not send anyone to ask for help but sent an invitation.”
“What invitation?” Family Head Shen was stunned for a mont before taking the invitation from that person.
After reading the invitation, his expression instantly beca strange.
[To: Shen Family Head]
[The world is destined to prosper. Our newborn, Lin Xuan, arrived after a hundred years.]
[Before he was born, he was cared for by everyone. After he was born, he was congratulated by everyone.]
[In order to thank everyone for their concern, the Lin family will host a banquet in Great Yan City when our child, Lin Xuan, is one month old. I hope the Shen family can send people to participate.]
[From: Lin family]
Looking at the invitation in front of him, the shock of the Shen family’s head was difficult to describe.
“Why… Why are they so confident?”
“In such a life and death situation, they actually want to hold a month-old banquet?”
“What ti is it now? The situation is already so bad, yet they actually have the mood to hold a month-old banquet?”
The stout middle-aged man stood up from his seat and looked at the invitation several tis. After confirming that it was real, he was stunned.
Below him, the person who sent the ssage was still kneeling on the ground respectfully. Seeing that his family head was so surprised, he could only remind him softly, “Family Head, there was news last night. Ancestor Lin appeared and directly cut off the decree of the Great Abyss’s master with a sword. Moreover, he accepted the challenge directly and said that he wants to fight the Great Abyss’s master.”
Severed the decree? He still wanted to fight the master of the Great Abyss?
The wealthy-looking middle-aged man was shocked.
“Moreover, not only did Ancestor Lin declare war on the Great Abyss’s master, he also directly responded to the Great Abyss’s decree.”
“This is what he said: If you want to touch my Lin family, co at . I’ll suppress you!”
Hearing the person’s words, the stout man’s eyelids twitched.
‘What the heck! Just co at ! I’ll suppress you?’
This ti, the Lin family was really too ferocious. Should they directly face them head-on? In the past, they could not tell that the Lin family’s ancestor’s temper was so explosive. Logically speaking, shouldn’t the Lin family’s Saint Child be handed over to protect themselves?
A storm had already stirred in his heart as he thought this. However, what he did not know was that the Lin family’s Saint Child was actually the baby who was the reason for the month-old banquet.
…
In fact, it was not only the Shen family who learned of this news. All the other forces in Qi Mountain County with a little bit of ability knew of this news. When the masters of those forces heard of this, their mood was not much different from the Shen family’s head. They all felt extrely shocked and unbelievable.
“If you want to touch my Lin family, co at . I’ll suppress you!”
“Damn, isn’t he afraid of embarrassing himself?”
“No matter how domineering the Lin family is, it’s difficult for them to go against the Master of the Great Abyss! That’s an Almighty Figure who was famous tens of thousands of years ago. All the forces in Qi Mountain County could not beat him even if they were all packed together!”
However, when they received the Lin family’s invitation, their eyelids twitched even more.
‘Lin family, I really admire you! You’re already in trouble, but you actually still have the mood to hold a month-old banquet? Who gave you the courage?’
When those families saw the invitation in their hands, they did not know what to say. The master of the Great Abyss had already given them a letter of challenge, but the Lin family actually wanted to hold a month-old banquet now. Should they say that the Lin family did not know what was good for them, or that their confidence was good?
“Moreover, it’ll be held in seven days. It’s exactly the day the master of the Great Abyss cos out of seclusion!”
“Is this an invitation or a request for help from your Lin family? We don’t know.” After being speechless, after being shocked, they all sighed.
“Looks like the Lin family has really reached the end of the road. If we give Ancestor Lin a few more years, I’m afraid that after he steps into that realm, he might be able to contend against the Great Abyss’s master.”
“Do you want to guess if Ancestor Lin has already stepped into the legendary realm?”
“Anyone with a brain would not think this way. Who is the Great Abyss’ Lord? You want to resist him? Dream on!”
“It’s really a pity for the Lin family. After so many years of accumulation, they actually died together with a Saint Child who might bring sothing to the Lin family! In the future, there will no longer be a Lin family in Qi Mountain County.”
“Although this Ancestor Lin’s words have indeed vented his anger and can be considered to have a lot of backbone, what he’s doing is pushing the Lin family to the brink of death. If they had chosen to hand over the Lin family’s Saint Child, they could still negotiate for a way out. At the very least, they can delay it a little…”
At this mont, many families in Qi Mountain County were sighing. They felt that the Lin family had no chance of winning.
One had to know that the Lin family’s enemy was the master of the Great Abyss. Fighting against him was equivalent to resisting the endless Great Desolate!
How could a small Lin family compare to the master of the Great Abyss? However, these families did not know that the Lin family’s Saint Child was actually the child who held the month-old banquet. Moreover, so families watched coldly from the side, while others wanted to kick them while they were down.
“Looks like the Lin family is completely done for!”
