Chapter 658: Stirred all Sides



That night, Lin Xun single-handedly slaughtered the higher-ups of the three collateral branches of the Lin Family: West Creek, Cloud Weight and Flying Peak. When the great Cyclic Derivation cultivator Lin Xixi was defeated, the operation was fully kicked off.

Late at night on Mind Cleansing Peak.

Lin Zhong, Xiaoke, Third Old Zhu and Lin Huaiyuan quickly went into action, mobilizing all their people to take over the properties and forces controlled by the three collateral branches.

It was similar to the handing over of powers. With Lin Xun acting as a deterrent, the operation went smoothly and orderly. They didn’t run into any obstacles at all.

All the clansmen from the West Creek, Cloud Weight and Flying Peak Lin Clans panicked, grieved, and bitterly but passively accepted all the changes. No one dared to resist or not cooperate.

They had surrendered, and that was the price they had to pay for surrendering. Maybe they couldn’t fully understand or accept it for the time being, but it was already happening and they couldn’t change anything.

From tonight, the Lin Clan that had separated due to a bloody incident over ten years ago would be unified.

In the future, the so-called West Creek, Cloud Weight, Flying Peak and North Light Lin Clans would no longer exist. They would all join the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan!

……

In the early morning of the same night, the Chi Clan.

A clear and pleasant wind chime awakened Chi Cangmei from her meditation in the hot spring.

Her slender and sharp brows furrowed. Very few people dared to disturb her, so something major had to have happened that night.

After a thought, she rose from the hot spring, her movements swift and natural. She was naked at the moment, but she didn’t mind that her snowy white skin, ample chest and slender and straight legs were exposed. Beads of water slid down her body.

That was her usual place of meditation, where she always spent alone, so she was used to it.

“What happened?”

When the maid came in, Chi Cangmei was already wrapped in a bathrobe and sitting down by the hot spring. Her black hair was draped over her body, and she looked very relaxed.

“Miss, news just came that a fierce battle happened at the West Creek Lin Clan. It was said that the higher-ups of the West Creek, Cloud Weight and Flying Peak were all gathered there, and almost all of them were killed in the fierce battle.”

“What?” Chi Cangmei went stiff.

In the past, she had never paid attention to the three collateral branches of the Lin Clan. After all, they were inferior to even a lower aristocratic clan.

It was only after Lin Xun made a name for himself in the Forbidden City that she started to pay attention to the Lin Family.

“Who did it?” she asked in bewilderment.

From what she knew, after Lin Xun was believed to have died in the Spirit Burial Sea in the past six months, the three branches of the Lin Family became more and more fearless knowing that they had the backing of the Zuo and Qin Clans.

Based on that, the tragic incident seemed very unusual.

“According to sources, it was Lin Xun’s doing,” the maid answered quickly.

“Lin Xun?” Chi Cangmei sprang up. The relaxed expression faded from her face and her eyes widened in surprise. “Is this true?”

She seemed to have lost her composure, and her voice was cold and interrogative.

“The report came from our Chi Clan’s spies, but I can’t judge whether it is true or not,” the maid answered in a trembling voice.

“Why would a dead person suddenly appear? And he killed all the high-level figures of the three collateral branches of the Lin Clan by himself! How fierce and ruthless…” Chi Cangmei was evidently shaken by the news.

However, after careful thought, the style and behavior were indeed very similar to Lin Xun’s. He was just as wild, savage, and unscrupulous. He dared to force even the Marquis of Rising Sky to kneel in public.

“Could he really be back?” Her heart suddenly felt a little heavy.

When she heard the news of Lin Xun’s death, she felt a weight lifted off her and was able to relax. Imaginably, Lin Xun had brought tremendous pressure to her in the past.

Unexpectedly, such a fierce and ruthless character hadn’t died!

The clear and melodious wind chime rang again and again, and maids rushed to report back to her one after another.

“Miss, it’s reported that the guard at the city gate, Hu Jiuyi, saw Lin Xun return to the Forbidden City.”

“Miss, it’s been confirmed that at dusk, Lin Xun invaded the West Creek Lin Clan and slaughtered all the high-level members of the three Lin Clan branches!”

“Miss, there is new news! It has been confirmed that Lin Xun has defeated the great cultivator Lin Xixi. The three collateral branches of the Lin Clan have officially surrendered to the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan!”

Chi Cangmei was a little skeptical at first when the news came, but that changed after more and more news came.

Now, she was completely struck dumb.

She couldn’t imagine how it was possible for a person who had long been believed to be dead to come back alive. Not only that, but on the first day of his return, he raised his slaughter knife and launched a killing spree on the three collateral branches of the Lin Family!

The fact that chilled her the most was that Lin Xun single-handedly defeated all the high-level figures in the Lin Clan, many of whom were Heaven Ascension cultivators.

Did that mean that Lin Xun, who was still at the Spirit Sea Stage half a year ago, had now stepped into the ranks of the Heaven Ascension Stage and his strength surpassed those of the older generation?

When Chi Cangmei learned that even Lin Xixi, a great Cyclic Derivation cultivator, lost to Lin Xun, her pupils constricted and she almost went crazy.

A dead person turned out to be alive, and his strength had soared to such a terrifying level that he could defeat a Cyclic Derivation cultivator.

It was too shocking!

After a long moment, she muttered, “If it’s him, then another unpredictable storm is going to be set off in the Forbidden City…”

She knew very well about the amount of suppression that the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan had suffered in the past six months. Their situation had been very unstable during that time with internal troubles and outside aggression.

Everyone in the Forbidden City thought that the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan was doomed and that they would soon be removed and replaced by other clans!

Who would have thought that the youngster who once shook the Forbidden City and caught everyone’s attention, the master of Mind Cleansing Peak who earned the dazzling title of rune founder, would return alive?

The Forbidden City was going to become turbulent again!

……

That night, almost all the major clans in the Forbidden City were alarmed one after another, awakened from their deep sleep by the urgent news.

The entire Forbidden City was stirred as more and more news and evidence gathered in their hands.

“That guy…is still alive...”

That was the most unbelievable piece of news to everyone.

“It has to be him. Only someone as fierce and tyrannical as he is would dare to storm the Lin Clan alone and launch a killing spree!” someone analyzed.

“Impossible! Half a year ago, he was only at the Spirit Sea Stage. Even if he is alive now, he can’t possibly kill and defeat so many Heaven Ascension cultivators! The most absurd news is that he defeated even Lin Xixi, a Cyclic Derivation expert! This is nonsense! No one would believe this nonsense!”

Many people were in disbelief. In their view, Lin Xun might be remarkable, but he was only at the Spirit Sea Stage and posed no threat to them at all half a year ago. He only became famous because of his status as a young rune founder.

But now, there was news that the youngster had wiped out great Heaven Ascension cultivators and that even a Cyclic Derivation cultivator was no match for him.

“The news has to be true, but his retaliation operation tonight may not be the result of him alone. He has to have the backing of someone powerful!”

Many major clans believed that only such an explanation made sense. They couldn’t accept the fact that Lin Xun had single-handedly subdued the three branches of the Lin Clan and forced a Cyclic Derivation expert to bow his head.

“No matter what, that kid has indeed come back alive...”

That night, countless influential figures were alarmed. Many spies were dispatched from the Forbidden City in the middle of the night to inquire about the situation in the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan. They were determined to find the truth.

Everything started because…Lin Xun had returned!

Half a year ago, the youngster rose strongly in the Forbidden City and created one miracle after another like a heaven-defying monster. His name spread all over the world and was engraved in the minds of countless powerful figures.

Some people gloated about his so-called death, while some sighed emotionally.

However, no one thought that he was still alive!

The Zuo Clan.

As one of the seven high clans in the Forbidden City, the Zuo Clan was also alarmed that night. The residence was brightly lit as they immediately held an emergency meeting.

The Qin Clan.

The situation was similar to that in the Zuo Clan. Influential figures were alerted from various places and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

In the past six months, the three collateral branches of the Lin Clan had frequently tried to suppress Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan, but everyone in the city knew that they only dared to do so because they had the backing of the Zuo and Qin Clans!

Now, Lin Xun had returned and raised his slaughter knife at the three collateral branches. How could the Zuo Clan and the Qin Clan be able to sit still and do nothing?

The news alarmed even the imperial palace in the Forbidden City, but very few people knew about it.

“Another storm is about to set off in the Forbidden City!”

That night, everyone shared the same thought about Lin Xun’s return. It signified that an unpredictable storm would break out.

This was because the youngster had too many extraordinary things about him. He might be only in his teens, but his influence was so great that it could stir the entire Forbidden City!
