Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan

In Hongshan County, everyone was amazed by Lin Ran's actions. While the recent death of Lin Zhongba had been unexpected, these two had provoked a Seventh Revolution Golden Core cultivator, which was asking for trouble.

At this moment, everyone was curious about why Lin Ran had taken out a scale. Did she hope that a single scale would help her withstand the attacks of a Seventh Revolution Golden Core cultivator and escape?

The elderly Mu family cultivator shared the same sentiment. He observed Lin Ran's actions with a contemptuous and mocking look, looking down on her from his superior position.

"You ants from a small place, do you really think that a family offering a life-saving treasure can challenge a Golden Core cultivator in the cultivation world? Do you have no sense of hierarchy or respect for your elders?"

On the side, Fairy Yunyao frowned as she watched Lin Ran holding the scale. She couldn't understand why. A strong sense of danger emerged in her heart. There was something off about the white scale.

Chang Ying, who shared the same intuition, had already silently retreated three hundred miles the moment Lin Ran revealed the white scale. He had essentially exited Renhuai County's boundaries. Though he couldn't sense anything unusual about the scale, as a member of the Tianyuan Prefecture, he knew better than anyone the sinister nature of the Lin family of Renhuai County.

In just a few months, they had transformed from a near-extinct Qi Condensation family into a Foundation Establishment clan that could rival a Third Rank Golden Core power.

According to the information from the Nine Peaks Sect, the number of Lin family cultivators had multiplied several times in a short period. There were over thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators alone. Just a moment ago, a completely unknown elderly member of the Lin family had posed a threat to Chang Ying, a Golden Core Third Revolution cultivator.

Chang Ying couldn't believe that Lin Ran, who had been urging to confront him from the beginning, didn't have any trump cards against a Golden Core cultivator.

While others might think that it wouldn't matter even if she had one, as she was facing a Seventh Revolution Golden Core expert, Chang Ying couldn't help but doubt it. This was probably the result of some scheme involving their Grand Ancestor.

For someone as monstrous as Lin Ran, Chang Ying never considered her a pleasant companion and had no intention of offending her. He had pointed out the positions of Fairy Yunyao to Lin Zhongba earlier to establish a friendly relationship, anticipating that it would help in the future.

He never expected that Lin Zhongba and Lin Ran would be so headstrong.

In the presence of a Ninth Revolution Golden Core cultivator and a Seventh Revolution Golden Core cultivator, attempting to snatch the Rainbow Maiden was an audacious move. Although the current situation didn't seem promising, Chang Ying didn't believe that these two had gone mad. If they dared to act, they must have something to rely on.

"Boom!"

Just as Chang Ying was pondering this, in the distance, as if sensing Lin Ran's emotions and call, a towering white pillar of light pierced the heavens.

"Hiss!"

Accompanied by a deafening serpent's roar, a terrifying pressure instantly descended upon Hongshan County.

Everyone stared blankly at the sky, where a colossal 300,000-meter-long white snake had dominated the heavens and the earth within the white pillar of light. It seemed to completely fill and cover the sky over Hongshan County.

The Heaven Swallowing White Snake disregarded everyone present, lowering its head to gaze at the tearful Lin Ran.

In an instant, all the cultivators in Hongshan County felt their breath stagnate, and an icy cold aura spread from their hearts, as if the wrath of a creator was about to descend upon each and every one of them. Everyone gazed at the Heaven Swallowing White Snake, unable to discern any expression on its face, but they all understood: it was angry.

For that weeping girl, this monstrously terrifying white snake was about to unleash its terrifying wrath, causing fear in everyone's hearts. A horrifying divine sense swept across the heavens and the earth. Lin Xuan didn't need to explain anything; he had already obtained the answers he wanted from the surface memories of everyone present.

He turned his head to cast an emotionless, hundred-meter-sized, golden vertical pupil to look down at the Mu family elder, who was still standing in the void, without a trace of emotion in his gaze.

"How… how is this possible? How could a place as small as this have someone like you?"

The Mu family's Seventh Revolution Golden Core elder felt the overwhelming suppression of his power, rendering him completely immobilized. He stared at Lin Xuan's massive figure, his expression filled with disbelief.

On the side, Nangong Yunyao also revealed astonishment in her eyes. Coming from the central region of the human territory, she naturally recognized the anomalies on Lin Xuan's body.

"One of the ten supreme bloodlines of the Monster Clan, the Heaven Swallowing Divine Python lineage. One of the most potent ancient innate divine abilities: the Heaven and Earth Unity! A spiritual projection that only Soul Formation Dao Lords can control!"

With each recognition, Nangong Yunyao's eyes grew brighter. At this moment, she fully understood the Mu family elder's shock. Such an aberrant existence had unexpectedly appeared in a remote place like Hongshan County, akin to suddenly discovering a true dragon in a small pond.

After the initial shock, the Mu family elder finally reacted. He stared at Lin Xuan's ice-cold killing intent, trembling all over. He knew that if he didn't take remedial measures, he was likely to meet his end today.

"Fellow Daoist, please, calm your anger! Everything can be negotiated. I am a member of the Mu family, one of the four ancestral guards of the Eighth Rank power. I am also a member of the Ten Thousand Purging Guards. Any losses today, Fellow Daoist, just name your compensation, and I am willing to pay tenfold. To soothe this young lady's distress, I can return and exchange a Celestial Beauty Pill and a Sacred Golden Core Pill as compensation."

The Mu family elder was acutely aware of who held the key to resolving this conflict. He looked sincerely at Lin Ran.

Lin Xuan gave the Mu family elder a detached glance and didn't even ask Lin Ran for her decision. With a slight swish of his long tail, he launched an attack akin to a celestial pillar, directly crashing down toward the Mu family elder.

The latter, completely devoid of any resistance, was trapped in place, only able to watch death approaching with despair in his eyes.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, in front of countless witnesses in Renhuai County, the Seventh Revolution Golden Core elder of the Mu family was directly crushed into a fine powder by a single swipe of Lin Xuan's tail, dispersing into the heavens.
