NOVEL NEXT Chapter 59: Grand Ancestor Has a Name! Chang Ying's Departure!
In an instant, the entire thousand-mile radius of Hongshan County fell into silence. No one had expected that the Grand Ancestor mentioned by the Lin Ran would be so fierce. With a single strike, he had shattered the Seventh Revolution Golden Core cultivator.
Wasn't the Lin family of Renhuai County just a Second Rank power?
Everyone gazed at Chang Ying with a clear message in their eyes: "Tianyuan Mansion calls this a Second Rank Power?"
Furthermore, if he was the Grand Ancestor, why was the figure before them not a human but a terrifying white snake? Many cultivators were filled with confusion at this moment.
In the sky, Lin Xuan didn't even spare a glance for the fallen Mu family elder. Instead, he turned his gaze to Nangong Yunyao and Chang Ying, who were standing beside him. In an instant, both of them wore slight changes in expression.
"Grand Ancestor, they didn't take any action."
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Lin Ran explained. He naturally knew the whole story, and this look was just a warning to the two of them.
Lowering his head, Lin Xuan looked at Lin Ran, whose tears had not yet dried, and smiled. "Why are you crying? Weren't you happy and enthusiastic when you came out?"
Lin Ran looked up at the giant snake head of her Grand Ancestor. At this moment, a strong sense of security enveloped her. "Grand Ancestor, Grandpa… Grandpa died because of me!"
Lin Ran's tone was somewhat choked, and she spoke these words with difficulty.
Lin Xuan shook his head and looked at a certain spot in the void. "You, you haven't come out yet?"
Buzz!
The void trembled, and the aged figure of Lin Zhongba reappeared in the not-too-distant void. Looking at Lin Ran, who was filled with disbelief, Lin Zhongba smiled awkwardly. He turned and, with a solemn expression, made a respectful bow to Lin Xuan. "Zhongba pays his respects to Grand Ancestor!"
As they watched the reappearance of Lin Zhongba, the onlookers in Hongshan County were dumbfounded. This guy, he didn't die? Didn't they just see him get blown to pieces?
In the sky, Chang Ying showed an expression that as if he had expected this. Nangong Yunyao looked at Lin Zhongba with mild surprise. This old man had something about him. Just now, he had managed to deceive her perception as she had never thought that he could survive under the attack of the Seventh Revolution Golden Core Mu family elder.
"No, it's not that this old man is interesting; it's the Lin family that's interesting, and the guy in front of me is interesting."
Nangong Yunyao looked at the Heaven Swallowing White Snake, Lin Xuan, and muttered.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Lin Xuan looked at Lin Zhongba and asked.
Regarding this old man before him, he understood better than anyone else. A pile of skills might not exert too much power due to his own realm restrictions, but his ability to protect himself was absolutely maxed out.
He suspected that not even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator might not truly take his life. Just now, he probably used some sort of substitute function to create an illusion and used some sort of folk magic to deceive everyone's perception.
As for why he couldn't guess which ones, Lin Xuan was also speechless; this guy had too many similar skills. Who knew which one he used?
Hearing Lin Xuan's question, Lin Zhongba naturally didn't dare to hide anything. "This girl just came out of the family, and she's still too naive in the cultivation world. At first, I didn't think much about it. However, when she recklessly rushed to snatch the Rainbow Maiden just now, it made me realize the seriousness of the problem. So I was preparing to give her a good lesson and teach her not to be so reckless when she comes out alone in the future."
Lin Zhongba explained with regret. However, the person involved, Lin Ran, was already infuriated by him. She snorted and turned her head to look elsewhere.
Lin Zhongba looked at Lin Ran, who was eavesdropping with her ears raised, and smiled indulgently. He didn't care about her willful behavior.
"Aren't you afraid she might have an accident?"
Lin Xuan asked.
Lin Zhongba looked at Lin Xuan and smiled confidently. "With the scale given by Grand Ancestor, what kind of accident can this girl have?"
Lin Xuan remained silent. To him, the level of trust the Lin family members had in him had far exceeded his comprehension. It was more accurate to say that Lin Xuan was an absolute faith for the Lin family. Have you ever seen a faith that didn't believe in itself?
Ignoring the two of them, Lin Xuan lowered his head and gazed at the ten thousand cultivators of Hongshan County below, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Within one hour, those who remain in Hongshan County will die!"
Hearing this, the ten thousand cultivators in Renhuai County were slightly shocked. They quickly reacted and scattered like birds and beasts, each displaying their techniques and fleeing from Hongshan County.
Chang Ying, who had already left the boundaries of Hongshan County, hesitated for a moment and performed a Daoist salute to Lin Xuan.
"Fellow Daoist, I am Chang Ying, the Peak Master of the Third Peak of Nine Peaks Sect in the Tianyuan Mansion. If you have the time in the future or need any help, you can come to Nine Peaks Sect. Within my capabilities, I will definitely assist you."
Lin Xuan glanced at Chang Ying and felt a favorable impression towards his actions just now. He seemed like a reasonable person.
"Lin Xuan!"
Chang Ying was momentarily surprised and took a while to react. This was Lin Xuan's name. A smile appeared on his face.
"In that case, I look forward to meeting you again. Farewell for now!"
With that, Chang Ying transformed into a stream of light and headed towards the direction of the Tianyuan Mansion.
Beside Lin Xuan, Lin Ran and Lin Zhongba were staring at their Grand Ancestor with dumbfounded expressions. Lin Xuan naturally noticed their condition.
"Why this expression?"
"Grand… Grand Ancestor, you have a name?" Lin Ran opened her mouth in amazement, and Lin Zhongba wore a similar expression.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes. "Is it such a big deal that I can't have a name? I've been born for so long, is it so difficult to give myself a name?"
Lin Ran happily shook her head, her body involuntarily leaning against Lin Xuan, and she hugged him, swinging her limbs and rubbing against him. She cheered, "Not difficult at all! Not difficult at all! Grand Ancestor has a name now! Grand Ancestor has a name now!"
Even the 109-year-old Lin Zhongba had a smile on his face at this moment.
Of course, Lin Xuan knew what these two were happy about. It wasn't that he had a name; the key was that his name was Lin Xuan, with the surname Lin. This meant that when he gave himself a name, he truly regarded himself as a member of the Lin family.
Even though this name had been given long ago, Lin Xuan didn't plan to explain anything. Fate and destiny had already been sealed the moment he crossed over.
