Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan - Chapter 74: Ancestral Temple Warning, Thirty Years of Fleeing!

Hongshan County.

The Lin family of Hongshan County had already received the news and gathered all their clansmen in Hongshan County. At this moment, Lin Hongtu had already called back all the clansmen who had been sent out over a thousand years.

With the recent fame of Azure Heaven Mountain Lin family, the Lin family members who heard this news felt like a pie had fallen from the sky. The surprise came too suddenly. The Lin family’s name was prominent everywhere.

No one had expected that their family, which had a long history, had the same bloodline as the Azure Heaven Mountain Lin family. So, in just half a month, over a million clansmen returned. Even Lin Hongtu himself didn’t expect to achieve this speed.

Today, in Hongshan County, the Lin family had already gathered all their clansmen.

There were 11,358 Qi Condensation cultivators.

There were a total of 21 Foundation Building cultivators.

Among them, there was a peak Foundation Building cultivator, Lin Hongtu himself. Three were in the late Foundation Establishment Realm, including his father and two clan elders. Seven were in the middle Foundation Establishment Realm, with five being natives and two returning. Ten cultivators were in the early Foundation Establishment Realm, with six being natives and four returning.

Originally, there were 1.2 million clansmen with mortal bloodline in Hongshan County. Now, over one million had returned. In the past few days, over two million people had learned about their fate. They were relocating to Baoshan Prefecture, and they were overjoyed.

For people like them, having the support of a large family undoubtedly increased their safety and quality of life significantly. Of course, the greatest benefit was that if their descendants were born with spiritual roots, they could join the Golden Core family.

Then, they could directly join a Third Rank Golden Core family, an opportunity that countless cultivators envied.

In these days, the cultivators from the surrounding regions of Hongshan County, having heard this news, had also gathered outside the county. Tens of thousands of cultivators stood closely packed together.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, an explosion occurred in the sky. Everyone looked up and witnessed an unforgettable scene: a massive white serpent, stretching over a million meters, was moving through the sky. It was incredibly fast, almost blocking out the sky.

Its shadow cast over thousands of miles of land below, and its terrifying aura alone made others difficult to breathe. The white snake halted over Hongshan County. To be precise, with Lin Xuan’s current size, all the creatures in Yunyao Prefecture could see clearly just by looking up.

Hundreds of billions of creatures fell into a deathly silence at this moment. They dared not make any significant movements, fearing that they would attract the attention of the terrifying white serpent in the sky.

“Is everything prepared?” Lin Xuan lowered his head and asked Lin Hongtu with his thousand-meter-wide golden-purple eyes.

Lin Hongtu raised his head, looking at Lin Xuan, but he was stunned and couldn’t react. He wasn’t the only one; all the cultivators of Hongshan County were also dumbfounded. This was particularly true for the Lin family’s cultivators.

Although they had already received the news and gathered in Hongshan County, some uncles and grandfathers were expected to personally greet them in the coming days. However, no one had expected things to turn out like this.

“Huh?”

Seeing that Lin Hongtu hadn’t answered, Lin Xuan was puzzled. Hearing this voice, Lin Hongtu finally came to his senses. He quickly nodded, his face filled with urgency, “Grand Ancestor, everything is prepared according to your instructions. All of the Lin family’s clansmen are now in Hongshan County, totaling two million people.”

“As long as they’re all here,” Lin Xuan said calmly. Then, with a thought, a wave of spiritual power enveloped the entire Hongshan County. If the next step went wrong, the entire county would disintegrate instantly.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Accompanied by a series of earth-shattering roars, the entire outside of Hongshan County tens of miles long, a huge behemoth, was lifted up by Lin Xuan as if it were a child’s toy. It rose gradually and finally landed on its colossal body.

Lin Xuan lowered his head, glanced at the Hongshan County, and made sure that nothing had been missed. Then, he made a slight movement of his body. Riding on the sky, he sped towards Baoshan Prefecture.

For a long time, countless beings in Yunyao Prefecture stared blankly at this scene.

The Yunyao Palace.

Fairy Yunyao lay on the palace over a hundred zhang high, looking at Lin Xuan’s departing figure with complex emotions. Her beautiful figure was almost entirely exposed in this position.

In front of the palace below, twelve people in uniform stood silently. If anyone could see through their cultivation bases, they would undoubtedly be shocked. Each of them was a peak Nascent Soul True Lord.

In front of the twelve people, there was an old man with white hair, wearing a butler’s uniform and a friendly smile on his face.

“Old Shi, tell me, if I let you catch that white serpent and seek revenge for being thrown away, will you do it? As long as you help me take revenge, I will obediently go back with you. How about it?” Nangong Yunyao looked at the old man, her spirits lifted.

Recalling the scene from that day, Nangong Yunyao seethed with anger. That despicable white serpent had lashed out at her from such a distance. She had never suffered such humiliation in her life!

She knew Lin Xuan’s strength was extraordinary. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators were likely no match for him. Even if the Nangong family’s Divine Execution Guards teamed up, they might not be his match.

The Divine Execution Guards, a branch of the Nangong family’s guards, were only the second in line. A team of twelve Nascent Soul Realm Divine Execution Guards, combined with special formations and magic tools, could annihilate a Soul Formation Realm cultivator.

This showed how highly Lin Xuan was regarded in Nangong Yunyao’s heart. Even Soul Formation cultivators might not be his match.

But it was different for Nangong Shi. He had been the steward of the Nangong family for eight thousand years. He kept a low profile in everyday life, but no one dared to underestimate his power. After all, even a pig, after eight thousand years, could reach the peak of the Soul Formation Realm, let alone the steward of the Nangong family.

The lifespan of a Golden Core cultivator was five hundred years, a Nascent Soul cultivator’s was three thousand years and a Soul Formation cultivator’s was ten thousand years, and a Unity cultivator’s was thirty thousand years. Therefore, many speculated that Nangong Shi’s cultivation was likely in the Unity Realm, even at the peak of the Unity Realm.

As for the Great Power among humanity, no one bothered to consider it. It was just too difficult. Humanity’s Great Powers were the true pillars of humanity. How could they end up as stewards of Eighth Rank forces? The head of the Nangong family had only just reached the early realms of Great Powers.

Unfortunately, Nangong Shi smiled and declined his young lady’s suggestion. “Miss, this Lin Xuan is already on the Ancestral Temple’s watch list. The Ancestral Temple has issued clan orders to forces of seventh grade and above within the core region, stating that no one, no force, is allowed to provoke Lin Xuan without a valid reason.

“You know the prestige of the Ancestral Temple. If we violate the clan’s orders, the Nangong family might be annihilated. Moreover, I can’t randomly provoke the future enemies for our family.”

Hearing this, Nangong Yunyao deflated. She turned around and lay down on the palace floor. “Since you can’t do it, then I don’t need to go back. Old Shi, you can go back on your own. In any case, I won’t become a tool for marriage.”

Nangong Shi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Miss, I’m here to talk about this matter. Who told you that the family wants to use you to form a marriage alliance with the Mu family?”

Nangong Yunyao turned around and angrily looked at Nangong Shi.

“The news has spread throughout the family. The First Young Master of the Mu Family, Mu Yunye, brought a large pile of betrothal gifts to visit Father and propose to the Nangong Family’s Young Miss.

“My father only has two daughters. My elder sister has always been the apple of his eye since she was young. How could he possibly send her to a marriage alliance? Then, isn’t the remaining one me?

“Fortunately, I was smart that day. After I heard the news, I quietly packed my luggage and ran away. I even used the Interdomain Teleportation Token that Grandfather gave me. Otherwise, I really would have been caught by you. ”

As she spoke, Nangong Yunyao’s aggrieved eyes glistened. She had been on the run for thirty years. She had been worried and scared and her life had been too bitter.

Nangong Shi was speechless. Thirty years ago, when Nangong Yunyao suddenly ran away from home, he knew that this young lady, who had been fantasizing since childhood, must have had another family drama in mind.

“Miss, what kind of person is the family head? You’ve been with him for several hundred years since childhood. Don’t you know?

“A typical daughter slave! Without your consent, how could he possibly marry you off?

“That day, if you had run a little slower, you would have seen the family head slapping away the young master of the Mu family from the family with a single palm.”

“Huh!” Nangong Yunyao was completely stunned. She turned around, looking somewhat amazed at Nangong Shi.

“Are you saying my father didn’t send me for a marriage alliance? I’ve been running for thirty years for nothing?”

Nangong Shi nodded in resignation.

Nangong Yunyao shook her head frantically. “This can’t be true, Old Shi. I can’t believe you’ve become so cunning in just thirty years. You must be trying to trick me into returning and then forcibly marrying me, right? In the past thirty years, I’ve read many novels. I saw through your little tricks at a glance.

“If you claim that Mu Yunye was slapped by Father with a single slap, then why have people from the Mu family been looking for me for the past thirty years?”

Nangong Shi’s heart grew heavy. This daydreaming lady of his had spent the last thirty years reading novels. What had she turned into now?

“Miss, if I wanted to restrain you, why would I need to deceive you into returning?”

Nangong Shi raised his hand. In an instant, Nangong Yunyao’s expression changed. She felt immobilized. Seeing this, Nangong Shi withdrew his spiritual power and smiled at his young miss.

Nangong Yunyao’s hope was dashed. She had to admit that if Old Shi truly wanted to bind her, there was no need to deceive her.

“What about the Mu family? How do you explain that?”
