Cultivation: Being Immortal - Chapter 192
Yun State,Anhua City
Anhua City has been under the control of the Lin family for over a hundred years. The Lin family has put in a lot of effort to manage it and has made Anhua City prosper, showing a trend of catching up with Yunzhong City and Medicine City.
Today’s morning is just like any other day. The city gates of Anhua City open, and the small forces outside the city, who have been waiting for a long time, line up one by one to enter the city. They bring a large amount of fresh vegetables, grains, meat, and more, for the people inside the city to consume.
Many people inside the city are also leaving. Some are merchant groups who travel around, some are cultivators who come to the city for sightseeing, and some are independent cultivators heading to the Wilderness for adventure.
At this moment, the whole city is full of vitality, and the fragrant smell of humanity fills the air.
“What is that?”
Suddenly, a young member of the Lin family on the city wall of Anhua City exclaims, and the people behind him raise their heads together. They see a streak of crimson clouds swiftly rushing in from the distant horizon.
“Uncle, what is that?”
“A crimson cloud, rarely seen. Is it going to rain heavily?”
“Rain comes from dark clouds, you silly Sixth Brother.”
“I just said it casually, don’t call me Sixth Brother, I’m the eighth in line.”
A group of guards whispered to each other. Before they could finish their discussion, the city wall suddenly burst into thousands of colorful lights. These lights soared into the sky, intersected in mid-air, and then quickly descended, forming a semicircular shield that enveloped the entire Anhua City.
“What’s going on?”
“Why did the city defense formation activate?”
“Are they enemies?”
This change frightened everyone in the city, especially the young members of the Lin family. They were all extremely shocked. The Lin family had ruled over Anhua City for over a hundred years, and the city defense formation had never been fully activated. It was usually in a half-activated state and the shield was never visible.
“Dear friends from Anhua City, I am Lin Batian, a Taoist. The Lin family is about to face a great calamity, and Anhua City is in grave danger. You must escape immediately.”
“Young members of the Lin family, flee quickly.”
Lin Batian’s figure appeared in the sky above Anhua City, and his next words brought a deathly silence to the entire city. Even the young members of the Lin family were dumbfounded.
“Run quickly.”
The fastest to react were those independent cultivators who struggled for survival in the Wilderness. They hovered on the edge of life and death, danced on the edge of a knife, and were extremely sensitive to danger. As soon as Lin Batian finished speaking, they started rushing out of Anhua City. Sensing that the forbidden airspace formation in Anhua City had closed, they even flew directly.
“Great catastrophe.”
“What catastrophe? Don’t joke around, Lin Family Leader.”
“I just emptied my house to buy it last year.”
“My son is still in there.”
“Mother, mother, where are you?”
Seeing the independent cultivators fleeing madly, the residents of Anhua City were also dumbfounded. Next, there was an incredibly chaotic scene. Those independent cultivators were all alone, with their belongings stored in bags. They could leave at the drop of a hat. But there were still hundreds of thousands of permanent residents in the city. Aside from the destruction of their homes, what would happen to their families?
Lin Batian blocked out those voices. Most of these people would suffer greatly, and he was the cause of it. However, he wouldn’t hesitate at all. If he could sacrifice the Lin family, let alone outsiders.
“Landlord”
“Landlord”
One by one, the children of the Lin family floated up into the air, looking frightened as they bowed to Lin Batian.
“No time for talking, don’t go home, run, run as far as you can, run immediately.”
“Landlord”
“Get out, everyone who doesn’t want to die, get out.”
Lin Batian roared angrily, why were these foolish children still here, run quickly.
Finally, someone flew away on a flying sword, one, two, five, ten, more and more went away, but there were still around a hundred people remaining by Lin Batian’s side.
“Are you staying here to wait for death?”
“Can’t the Lin family rules allow more than one person to face the enemy?”
“Being a Lin family member in life, and even in death.”
“Family head, I’m getting older and can’t walk well anymore.”
“Family head, I am a Formation Master. If everyone leaves, who will manage the formations in Anhua City?”
“Family head…”
Everyone was presenting their reasons to stay, but Lin Batian felt a pang in his heart. Are these really his descendants? Are they truly his Lin family members?
“Family head, we have arrived.”
A large group of cultivators flew in from outside the city. These were members of the Lin family, and at their forefront were a dozen or so cultivators. However, most of them had already regained their appearances, and they were not Lin family descendants.
“Steward Wu”
“Chen steward”
The Lin family was extremely astonished. The person who came turned out to be some of Lin Batian’s original stewards. Some of them even had the Lin surname, unrelated to the Lin family.
Later, the Lin family grew stronger. Their relatives also established their own families and became followers of the Lin family. By this time, they had become quite powerful, with some families even having several members at the golden core level.
“Master, we have arrived.”
“You may also leave.”
“Over ten descendants remain, the others are free to go as they please. As for me, I am staying.”
“I have been with the master for over four hundred years, and I have no intention of leaving. It’s not amusing.”
“Good, good. It seems that I, Lin Batian, haven’t been too much of a failure in life. I have descendants and old friends by my side. I, Lin Batian, swear that if there are still days to come, I will protect and bless all of you, my descendants, for generations to come, allowing you to achieve success and prosperity.”
“Many thanks, Xie Family’s leader.”
“Go back to your positions, they are almost here.”
Lin Batian nodded and then everyone scattered into the city, entering different points of the defensive formation in Anhua City.
At the same time, the sky was getting closer and closer to a crimson cloud, and finally, the group saw huge airships, even larger than the largest one in Yun State. The airships were lavishly decorated, exuding a sense of wealth and luxury.
“Being a showoff until death.”
Lin Batian sneered disdainfully, then soared into the sky. A violent aura gathered in his hands and transferred into his long spear. With a thrust, the tip of the spear pierced through the air, heading towards one of the airships.
“Boom!”
A sword flew out from the airship, colliding with Lin Batian’s spear. The shockwaves spread out, causing the mountains surrounding Anhua City to crumble, resembling the apocalypse.
After one move, numerous figures flew out from the airships, floating in the air and forming an array. The number of people reached several hundred.
“golden core”
“All of them are golden core.”
“So many.”
The people of Anhua City were all stunned. The lowest level person who flew out turned out to be golden core. And it seems that there are still people inside the flying boat who haven’t come out.
“Why didn’t the remaining Lin family members escape?”
Among the crowd, someone stepped forward and said to Lin Batian in a playful tone.
“Come, take off your mask and let’s see which family’s little dog dare to speak to your uncle like that.”
“All you can do is talk.”
“You don’t even dare to show your face. Are you born from your mother having an affair?”
“Haha, kill them all. No one from the Lin family, young or old, shall be spared.”
The person said coldly. Does clever talk really matter? After cremation, will there be just a mouth left?
“Soul Changing Dharma Appearance”
Lin Batian shouted loudly, and his body suddenly grew nearly a hundred times larger. A monstrous giant appeared outside Anhua City.
“Dead”
Lin Batian’s spear grew sharp, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped those people.
“Don’t mind him, let’s attack and conquer this city, leaving no one behind.”
Suddenly, several giants appeared among the incoming people. Not just one, but six, surrounding Lin Batian, using six Soul Changing.
“Destroy the city”
The rest of the people bypassed Lin Batian and his battlefield, arriving at the top of Anhua City. The first to take action were ten Nascent Soul cultivators, all attacking at once, causing the protective array to burst forth in a dazzling display of colors.
“Puff”
The Formation Master who managed the formations in the city was instantly shaken out a mouthful of blood. Those with weaker cultivation even died from the impact.
“Kill”
A person flew out from the city and bravely attacked ten Nascent Soul cultivators. It was Steward Wu, the leader of the group of stewards who had been with Lin Batian the longest. When the Lin family was still weak, Steward Wu practically served as the caretaker for the entire family. At this moment, he was also a Nascent Soul cultivator.
“Send two people to deal with him.”
Among the ten people, someone spoke up and two people immediately intercepted Steward Wu, while the rest continued their attack. Steward Wu’s frenzied attacks proved futile.
“Boom”
With the second move, Anhua City was breached.
“Kill them all.”
The remaining eight Nascent Soul cultivators waved their hands, and more than half of the golden core cultivators rushed in, while the rest spread out around them. Anyone who managed to escape from Anhua City, regardless of whether they were from the Lin family or not, young or old, could not escape their slaughter.
“Lin family members, avenge your family with your lives, follow me and kill!”
Lin family members and several subordinate families’ golden core cultivators rushed out. However, before the leader could make a move, the Nascent Soul cultivator above them pierced his body with a single sword strike.
The bloody slaughter began, flying swords swept through the city, blood flowed, and lives dissipated.
“Ying…”
“Be careful.”
Suddenly, a sharp cry resounded, and a figure darted through the eight people, causing a splash of blood before appearing in front of everyone.
“Who are you?”
“I am Lin Die, the third daughter of the Lin family.”
Lin Die stood on top of Aurora Falcon, holding a flying sword, and looked at everyone with indifference.
“Another leftover from the Lin family.”
“And you, my dear aunt.”
Just as the leader finished speaking, there was a loud explosion in the distance, followed by a giant arrow piercing through the air.
“Boom!”
The group joined forces to block the arrow, causing it to shatter and turn into twinkling starlight.
“A precious treasure of the Lin family, the Sagittarius Bow.”
Someone exclaimed and turned to look at Lin Ying, who was standing in the distance, holding a silver giant bow.
“Old Ten, why have you returned? Hurry, leave!”
“Third Sister, even though you’re the oldest, you can’t take advantage of everything.”
“Acting foolishly.”
Lin Die became very angry, she couldn’t understand how Little Ten could also lose control.
“The Lin sisters, just like the information, have all gathered.”
“There are still more than ten golden cores missing.”
“It’s okay, take your time in searching, it’s like hunting.”
“They were all killed.”
After exchanging opinions, the second generation of the Lin family appeared, which was good so they wouldn’t have to search one by one.
“Descendants of the Lin family, followers of the Lin family, break through.”
This sentence is from a story book, please translate it into English: 1. Lin Die said in a low voice, then with a thought, she and Lin Yu instantly disappeared. In the next moment, Lin Die appeared by the side of many Nascent Soul cultivators and drew out her sword.
