Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan

Outside Renhuai County, less than a hundred miles away, two streaks of light streaked towards Renhuai County.

Suddenly, the streaks of light halted, revealing two figures within.

One man and one woman, both appeared to be in their twenties, but this was merely a reflection of their appearance. Because both of them were at the Nascent Soul Realm. The man was in the early Nascent Soul Realm, and the woman was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

With such cultivation, their actual ages couldn't possibly be in their early twenties; otherwise, it would be unbelievable and earth-shattering news for the Human Ancestral Temple.

"Senior Sister, what's that smell? It's so fragrant!" The young man couldn't help but ask as he gazed at Renhuai County.

On the side, a woman dressed in exquisite white clothes with an incredibly beautiful face looked serene. "The aroma of the heavenly spirit, Xuejiao's meat."

Hearing this, the young man didn't doubt her words. "There are people eating Xuejiao's meat within Renhuai County?"

The young man exclaimed, his eyes filled with envy and intent. He had heard of heavenly and earthly spirits, but had never seen one. Now, he unexpectedly encountered one.

"Fang Yan, I know what you're thinking. Don't forget your identity," the beautiful woman reminded.

Fang Yan grinned, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. I won't do anything that dishonors the Demon Control Temple, but I can always buy it with money.

"The fragrance of this Xuejiao's meat extends for a hundred miles. According to the ancient records in the hall, it should be a Qi Condensation Realm Xuejiao, worth fifty thousand spirit stones. I'll offer a million. I don't need more; just give me a leg to taste."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman didn't say much. As long as it wasn't an act of bullying, she wouldn't intervene in matters where both parties agreed.

Besides, it seemed she hadn't tasted Xuejiao's meat in a long time.

"Let's go. First, we'll go to the Lin family in Azure Heaven Mountain and handle Master's matter. We can discuss the Xuejiao's meat later after we finish our business."

The beautiful woman finished speaking and, with every step, formally entered the territory of Renhuai County.

Fang Yan followed closely behind.

On the other side, Lin Ran's group of five had traveled for half a month and finally crossed the territory of two prefectures, arriving in Hongshan County.

"Grandpa, look, such a beautiful Rainbow Sea!" On the clouds, Lin Ran exclaimed as she gazed at the rainbow sea not far away.

The Rainbow Sea was massive, and from a distance, it seemed boundless. A preliminary estimate suggested it covered nearly a thousand miles of territory.

Beside her, Lin Ji, Lin Shimin, and Lin Qing'er had slightly changed expressions.

"How did it become so big?"

Hearing this, Lin Ran's smile on her face slightly faded. She wasn't a fool. She instantly realized that beneath this Rainbow Sea was probably Hongshan County.

Due to her half-month journey and the bond of sharing the same bloodline with Lin Ji, Lin Shimin, and Lin Qing'er, or perhaps due to her own pure-hearted nature as someone who had never ventured far from home, the bonds among the group of people warmed rapidly.

Especially between Lin Ran and Lin Qing'er, they now referred to each other as sisters, akin to best friends who had known each other for over a decade. Naturally, Lin Ran did not wish for anything to happen to the Hongshan Lin family.

"Sister Qing'er, don't worry. I'm here. The Rainbow Sea doesn't seem to pose any danger. The people of the Hongshan Lin family should be fine," Lin Ran reassured Lin Qing'er.

Lin Qing'er appeared somewhat anxious as her parents and relatives were still in Hongshan County. However, upon hearing Lin Ran's words, she understood that worrying wouldn't help at the moment. She could only nod her head and say nothing.

"Don't worry, Qing'er, the family is safe," Lin Ji chimed in. "According to the information I received from the family, the birth of the heavenly and earthly spirit Rainbow Maiden did not encounter any danger. The expansion of the Rainbow Sea is simply a sign of the Rainbow Maiden's birth.

"After a year of development, the Rainbow Sea covers a one-mile area. When the Rainbow Sea is completely released, it will be the moment of the Rainbow Maiden's birth.

"Rainbow Maiden has been developing for a thousand years, so theoretically, the Rainbow Sea should cover a thousand miles. It seems that we've returned at just the right time. Perhaps the birth of the Rainbow Maiden will happen today," Lin Ji remarked, looking at the immense Rainbow Sea with a serious expression.

He hadn't expected the Rainbow Sea to expand so quickly. When the three of them left the family, the Rainbow Sea had just enveloped Hongshan. Only a few miles of territory, nothing more. He had assumed the family had ample time to prepare, but it appeared that things had gone beyond their expectations.

As they conversed, they gradually descended in altitude, entering the territory of Hongshan County. The Rainbow Sea, apart from its spectacular beauty, did not appear to harbor any danger. However, once they entered the territory of Hongshan County, the expressions of the group became even graver.

For the human eye, the entire territory of Hongshan County was almost covered with cultivators. More than ten thousand cultivators had gathered in an area covering over a thousand miles. Though the vast majority were in the Qi Condensation Realm, there was no shortage of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Practically in every direction, you could see the presence of several Foundation Establishment cultivators.

With their divine sense extended for just a moment, there were over a hundred Foundation Establishment auras that appeared in their minds.

"Hongshan County is so lively!" Lin Zhongba wore a wry smile.

Suddenly, Lin Zhongba's expression changed. Within his divine sense range, a towering spiritual mountain over a thousand feet high appeared in his mind. More than ten clearly malevolent Foundation Establishment auras unreservedly released their presence.

The heaviness of this malevolence indicated that these Foundation Establishment cultivators had likely killed tens of thousands of ordinary people.

Lin Zhongba wasn't foolish enough to believe that these auras belonged to people from the Hongshan Lin family. The answer was evident: something seemed to have gone wrong with the Hongshan Lin family.
