In the end, the Zuo and Qin clans left unwillingly.
They had no other choice. Zuo Yang and Qin Xing were too important as they were direct descendants, so they were worried their actions would put their lives in danger.
After they were captured and taken to Mind Cleansing Peak, they could only return to their clan and report the matter.
On Mind Cleansing Peak, youngsters cheered and applauded.
A while ago, enemies were blocking the entrance of Mind Cleansing Peak and constantly provoking and humiliating them. Although they were furious, they had no choice but to clench their teeth and endure them.
However, Lin Xun emerged from his closed-door cultivation and slaughtered Lin Zhi and dozens of people like a killing god. Then he captured Zuo Yang and Qin Xing in one move. His swift and domineering means were equivalent to helping the youngsters vent their anger.
Only some powerful people donned worried expressions. The current situation might be satisfying, but Mind Cleansing Peak’s situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.
Mind Cleansing Hall.
Xiaoke, Spirit Vulture, Lin Zhong, Third Old Zhu and the higher-ups of the North Light Lin Clan were gathered together.
“This is a little troublesome. We have detained Zuo Yang and Qin Xing, so the Zuo and Qin Clans will leave this matter at that,” sighed a middle-aged man from the North Light Lin Clan.
“Lin Zhi has died tragically, and all the cultivators with her were also killed. If the West Creek, Cloud Weight and Flying Peak Lin Clans find out about this, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
“What do we do?”
“Lin Xun is too reckless. As they say, great plans can be ruined by a lack of forbearance. What he has done is the same as piercing the sky!”
The higher-ups of the North Light Lin Clan sighed one after another. Their faces were grave and overcast with worry.
On the other hand, Xiaoke, Spirit Vulture, Lin Zhong and Third Old Zhu kept quiet and didn't utter a word.
However, they could tell that the members of the North Light Lin Clan were unhappy with Lin Xun and were complaining.
“The worst thing is that Lin Xun has offended the imperial family and some powerful figures of the empire at the empress’ birthday banquet. Now, he has ruined all relationships with the Zuo and Qin Clans. The situation is very serious. We will be destroyed if we’re not careful,” a man with long black hair said aloud in a grim voice.
He was Lin Huairen, the younger brother of Lin Huaiyuan, the North Light Lin Clan Head.
“What should we do?” the clansmen sighed.
Lin Zhong couldn’t help but speak out, “Everyone, I believe Young Master is not acting recklessly. He must have a plan that we don’t know about.”
“A plan?” Lin Huairen cast a glance at Spirit Vulture.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSpirit Vulture no longer remained silent and said calmly, “Lin Xun will come later. You can ask him then.”
“Hmph, he just finished his closed-door cultivation and he doesn’t understand the situation. Yet, he stirred up so much trouble! What plan could he have?! He is just a little boy fooling around!” someone snorted coldly.
It was a white-haired old man called Lin Zifang.
He was very old and so was regarded as an elder of the North Light Lin Clan despite his Spirit Sea cultivation.
Lin Zhong and Spirit Vulture frowned when they heard him criticize Lin Xun, but they didn’t refute.
“In my opinion, Lin Xun must be properly lectured when he comes. If jade is not cut and polished, it can not be made into anything. If he continues to cause trouble like this, Mind Cleansing Peak will be destroyed one day!” Lin Zifang spoke sternly.
He seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Lin Xun’s actions.
“That…” Lin Zhong said aloud, “doesn’t seem right.”
Lin Zifang’s face darkened. “Lin Zhong, you are regarded as an elder of our Lin Family. Don’t you know what our current situation is? Lin Xun is messing around, but you are still protecting him! What’s the difference between that and harming him?”
Before the others could say anything, Lin Zifang continued angrily, “If I had known that the kid was this incompetent, I wouldn’t have let the North Light Lin Clan support him. Now we are also affected by his actions!”
The atmosphere in the hall turned tense.
Strange expressions flickered across the eyes of Lin Huaiyuan and other North Light Lin Clan members.
Xiaoke, Spirit Vulture and Lin Zhong frowned, not expecting Lin Zifang to say such words at such a critical moment!
“When Mind Cleansing Peak was doing well, you all moved back happily, but now that some bad things happened, you are complaining endlessly. Don’t you think that’s unnecessary?” Xiaoke couldn’t stand it any longer.
“How dare you! How can an outsider intervene in the affairs of our Lin Clan?” Lin Zifang reprimanded her.
“Xiaoke, don’t say more,” Spirit Vulture reminded her.
In the past, Xiaoke would listen to Spirit Vulture but today, she couldn’t stand it anymore. Lin Zifang took advantage of his seniority to patronize others, but he didn’t think of ways to solve a problem and instead pushed the blame onto Lin Xun.
“So you also know that this is your Lin Clan’s affair? But I don’t see you treating Lin Xun as the head of the Lin Clan!” Xiaoke coldly retorted.
Lin Zifang was so furious that his face turned livid. “Little girl, how dare you talk to me like that! Do you want me to expel you from Mind Cleansing Peak?”
“Expel me?” Xiaoke’s lips curved in a cold smile.
Just when she was about to say something, Spirit Vulture stopped her, “Don’t argue…”
However, before Spirit Vulture finished, Lin Zifang interrupted in a deep voice, “Mind Cleansing Peak is handed down by the ancestors of our Lin Clan and it is not a territory of outsiders! If you don’t apologize to me today, leave Mind Cleansing Peak immediately!”
Spirit Vulture’s expression turned cold, Xiaoke’s bright eyes became chilling and Lin Zhong’s brows were furrowed with fury.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely tense.
“Sixth Uncle, don’t be angry. Miss Xiaoke was invited by Lin Xun and she has done a lot for Mind Cleansing Peak,” Lin Huairen persuaded as he had sharply sensed the change in atmosphere.
He knew very well that Xiaoke had a very important position on Mind Cleansing Peak, and she was in no way inferior to Spirit Vulture and Lin Zhong.
Lin Zifang seemed like he wouldn’t take a step back as he sneered, “So, should I apologize to her? I think even Lin Xun wouldn’t dare to tell me to do that!”
Everyone looked at each other.
“Sorry, I’m afraid I am going to disappoint you.” Lin Xun’s voice sounded in the hall.
Followed by him walking out from the side of the hall. His black eyes swept over Lin Zifang coldly like a flash of lightning.
“You keep saying that you need to teach me a lesson, saying that I have dragged the North Light Lin Clan into trouble, but now you want to expel my people. Who gave you the power to do this?”
The hall fell utterly silent.
Lin Xun had overheard the conversation just now.
In terms of seniority, Lin Xun had to address Lin Zifang as granduncle! It was just that their relationship was very distant.
It was extremely disrespectful of Lin Xun to reprimand and question Lin Zifang in front of everyone.
“You…are you talking to me?”
As expected Lin Zifang was so angry that he couldn’t believe what he heard.
“You heard it right. I’m talking about you. What? Do you think it’s fun to patronize other people using your seniority?” Lin Xun said coldly.
There was an indescribable hatred in his heart. While they were under internal trouble and outside aggression, Lin Zifang, an elder, didn’t help solve the problem, but instead jumped out to cause trouble. How could Lin Xun respect him?
“Are you saying I patronize people?”
This is outrageous! Lin Zifang trembled with anger. In his view, Lin Xun was a junior, but he had lectured and humiliated him in front of everyone!
Others were also shocked. It was taboo to disrespect someone more senior within a clan. If the matter spreads out, they would become a huge laughingstock.
“Lin Xun, let’s just forget about this,” urged Spirit Vulture.
“Yes, take a step back. Don’t give other people a chance to laugh at us.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOther people persuaded them.
“No way!” Lin Zifang roared. Lin Xun was a junior, but he had embarrassed him in front of so many people. How could he stand that?
“When your grandfather was alive, he wouldn’t dare to do this to me. You are a little kid, but you ignored the etiquette of the clan and disrespected your elder. If you don’t kneel and apologize, I won’t forgive you!”
He rose to his feet, his hair taking on a spiked appearance and he almost sputtered on Lin Xun’s face.
Lin Xun looked at Lin Zifang coldly and finally took a deep breath and said, “Uncle Zhong, take him to the ancestral land on Mind Cleansing Peak to reflect!”
Everyone was shocked.
Lin Xun didn’t intend to argue and just wanted to imprison Lin Zifang!
“Lin Xun, that doesn’t seem right.”
Lin Huairen scrunched his brows. Other North Light Lin Clan members were bewildered. In their opinion, Lin Xun had committed the worst offense of disrespect. Isn’t he worried about being criticized?
“Young Master, th…” Lin Zhong was extremely worried.
“Go.” Lin Xun didn’t waver in the least as he spat out one word.
“You...how dare you...you are rebellious—”
Lin Zifang’s eyes almost popped out as he roared, but deep down, he was a little scared.
Lin Zhong stepped forward, and an invisible force poured out, restraining Lin Zifang and bringing him away.
“Lin Xun! You—”
Lin Huairen finally couldn’t hold back and stood up. Lin Zifang was from the North Light Lin Clan, and Lin Xun’s move was no different from hitting them in the face.
“Once the internal troubles and external aggression of the Lin Family are dealt with, I will apologize to you, but now, whoever dares to cause disturbance on Mind Cleansing Peak will be punished severely!”
Lin Xun’s expression was indifferent, but there was a sense of oppressive authority.
“Now that we are in a situation of internal troubles and external aggression, everyone should work together to fight against outsiders.”
Spirit Vulture said warmly, “I believe you all don’t want to see anything happen to Mind Cleansing Peak, right?”
Lin Huairen let out a long sigh and sat down again with an overcast expression on his face.
The other North Light Lin Clan members also looked gloomy. Lin Xun’s ruthlessness was unexpected.
He is so cruel to his people, what would he be afraid to do in this world?
