Everyone’s expressions turned strange.

How can he possibly fight?

Lin Xun was already able to defeat Lin Xuefeng before his breakthrough.

Now, he has ascended into the Spirit Sea Stage and triggered frighteningly rare phenomenons during his breakthrough. How can Lin Xuefeng fight him?

Although unwilling, everyone had to admit that, from the moment Lin Xun advanced, there was no suspense in the match anymore.

“Xuefeng, withdraw.” Lin Huaiyuan sighed in the distance.

“I…” Lin Xuefeng seemed conflicted about what to do.

In the end, he shook his head and gave a cupped fist salute at Lin Xun. “I’m…not as strong as you!”

He turned around and left.

His calm acknowledgement of his defeat surprised Lin Xun a little. His opinion of Lin Xuefeng suddenly changed.

Everyone donned complicated expressions.

Previously, they had mocked, ridiculed and rejected Lin Xun as they thought he was arrogant and ignorant. They even wanted to force him to hand over the power of Mind Cleansing Peak.

However, Lin Xun had proved to them that Lin Xuefeng, the talent they all admired, was inferior to him, at least in terms of foundation and cultivation!

It was like a silent counterattack and left everyone speechless.

“Lin Xun, come with me,” Lin Huaiyuan said again.

He had resumed his imposing demeanor.

Lin Xun knew that he had earned the opportunity to meet Lin Beiguang, his fifth elder uncle, after obtaining a victory in the showdown!

……

Lin Xun and Lin Huaiyuan walked side by side along a quiet gravel path.

Lin Zhong and Third Old Zhu didn’t follow Lin Xun because Lin Xun was about to meet a legendary figure in the North Light Lin Clan.

Along the way, Lin Huaiyuan explained, “I had put all my focus and mind on Xuefeng, hoping that he could grow up to bear the responsibility of reviving the Lin Clan. The entire North Light Lin Clan also believed that Xuefeng could become an authority figure, resolve the internal problems of the Lin Clan, and gain control of Mind Cleansing Peak.”

“So, many people couldn’t accept it when you appeared. It was hard for them to adapt because your appearance meant that Xuefeng would lose too much.”

Lin Xun quietly listened.

“It’s just that no one thought you would be better than Xuefeng in terms of power and talent.”

Lin Huaiyuan sighed, “Perhaps, this is Xuefeng’s fate.”

“I don’t believe in fate,” Lin Xun interjected unexpectedly.

Lin Huaiyuan was taken aback at first. Then, he shook his head and said, “Let’s not talk about this. I hope you won’t mind about what happened in the duel just now. Xuefeng has a strong personality, but he isn’t bad.”

Lin Xun said nonchalantly, “We are all from the Lin Clan. Of course, I won’t mind.”

Lin Huaiyuan took a deep look at Lin Xun, but to his disappointment, Lin Xun’s expression was so calm and indifferent that he couldn’t figure out whether Lin Xun was sincere or not.

Soon, under the leadership of Lin Huaiyuan, Lin Xun came to a simple-looking courtyard.

The courtyard only consisted of a thatched hut, a stone table, and an old locust tree. Although simple, it was very tranquil and clean.

A tall and thin old man dressed in ordinary clothes was sitting in front of the stone table, his eyes narrowed like he was in deep thought.

Naturally, the old man was Lin Beiguang, Lin Xun’s fifth granduncle!

“I am Lin Xun. I pay respects to Fifth Granduncle!”

As Lin Xun stepped into the courtyard and bowed respectfully, Lin Huaiyuan had already left. The meeting was only between Lin Xun and Lin Beiguang.

“You look like your father.”

Lin Beiguang raised his clear eyes and gazed at Lin Xun for a long moment. Then, he said emotionally, “Quickly come and sit down.”

Lin Xun calmly sat down opposite Lin Beiguiang.

“I watched the duel between you and Xuefeng. I have to admit that, among the younger generation of the entire Lin Clan, no one can be compared to you in terms of talent and cultivation foundation.”

A strange glint flashed in Lin Beiguang’s eyes.

“Fifth Granduncle, you are praising me too much.”

“It’s not false praise. It’s the truth. The phenomenons you caused when you broke through to the Spirit Sea Stage alone already show that you are remarkable. Not many people in the Forbidden City can achieve that.”

Lin Beiguang suddenly changed the subject, “But, based on that alone, I still can’t trust you enough to leave the North Light Lin Clan to you.”

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, knowing that it was time to get down to business.

“When the North Light Lin Clan moved away from Mind Cleansing Peak, we took many sacred books, medicinal herbs, rune materials, and equipment passed down the clan. We also took control of the thirty-seven properties the Lin Clan had across the empire.”

Lin Beiguang said casually, “The reason I did so at the time was to preserve some family estates and the foundation that the ancestors of the Lin Clan left behind so that they can be continued to be passed down the family.”

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and didn’t say anything.

As though Lin Beiguang read his mind, he explained, “Of course, you might not believe me and think that the North Light Lin Clan just took advantage of the chaos to split the clan’s wealth like the other collateral branches of the Lin Clan.”

Lin Xun looked slightly embarrassed. He didn’t know how to respond to Lin Beiguang’s direct and blunt explanation.

However, Lin Beiguang waved his hand. “Although I am old, I’m not stupid. Since you have decided to take over the Lin Clan, the treasures and properties I took away should be returned to Mind Cleansing Peak!”

Lin Xun quivered with disbelief.

Does he actually agree?

Immediately, Lin Xun knew it wouldn’t be that simple.

Lin Beiguang added, “But in my opinion, your current strength is still not good enough to protect those treasures, and you can’t give the entire North Light Lin Clan the confidence to return to the main Lin Clan.”

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. “Then I wonder when you think I will be good enough?”

Lin Beiguang smiled and patted Lin Xun on the shoulder. “Kid, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry. You will understand my kind intentions in the future. For now, I think very highly of you, but that’s all. If you want more support, you have to show me what you can do!”

His eyes gleamed. “Remember, you are the direct successor to the Lin Family. if you can’t pass these little tests, you’re not qualified to become the head of the Lin Family.”

Lin Xun contemplated for a moment, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, ”Fifth Granduncle, I just want to confirm one thing.”

“Yes?”

“From now on, will the North Light Lin Clan stand on Mind Cleansing Peak’s side?”

“Correct, but right now, you can’t control the North Light Lin Clan. When you have the power to control the North Light Lin Clan, you can even order me around.”

“Good.” Lin Xun nodded, feeling a lot more at ease.

As long as the North Light Lin Clan wasn’t an enemy of his, it was already enough. He didn’t care whether they supported or helped him.

With the help of Spirit Vulture, Xiaoke and Third Old Zhu, he had the confidence that he could completely change Mind Cleansing Peak! When Mind Cleansing Peak rose, it would be the time when Lin Xun had the power to control the life and death of the clan!

At that time, he wouldn’t need to pass any so-called tests and receive approval if he wanted to do something anymore. However, he had to accept his current situation no matter how aggrieved he felt as it was the reality.
