The Journey of Feng Zun 2
Chapter 44

“In the Blue Lotus Realm, everyone regarded Lin Xiong as the most dangerous murderous maniac in the younger generation of the Lin Family."

“When I left for the Luo Mainland, my clan members were already discussing whether to send their experts with Lin Xiong or not, to compete for good fortune here. And now, I suspect he has arrived in this world!”

"Why can you say that?" asked Feng Zun.

“Lin Xiong was born from a branch family,” said Lin Yunlan. “His parents died when he was young, and his paternal uncle, Lin Yhang, was the one who raised him.”

Feng Zun instantly understood, “I killed Lin Yhang today. You're worried that Lin Xiong will take revenge for his uncle, right?”

Lin Yunlan put a complicated expression on her face, and she nodded, “Given my understanding of Lin Xiong's temperament, she must have come to take revenge!”

"Oh?" said Feng Zun. “So you think I'm no match for him?”

Lin Xiong was speechless, “Maybe you think I am too worried, but just with the strength you showed today, I'm afraid you can't possibly match Lin Xiong.”

Feng Zun smiled but said nothing.

When he killed Lin Yhang, all he did was swing the Fantian Celestial Sword, and he did not use his original strength at all.

When he saw that Feng Zun did not care at all, Lin Yunlan said, “About ten years ago, when Lin Xiong first stepped into the Immortal Ascension Realm, he said, he condensed a truly high-quality Grand Dao Spirit Wheel. It looked like a black sun reflecting a mountain of corpses, a sea of blood, and a forest of white bones, which was named "Fire of Destruction."

“Since then, Lin Xiong became invincible. He practically had no opponents among the Blue Lotus Realm Ascension Immortal experts, neither the long-standing and prominent old monsters nor the peak modern geniuses, no one could match him."

“Now, he is already at the peak of the Immortal Ascension Realm, even in the Lin Family, only a handful of our old monsters can suppress him. We are not all her match.” Lin Yunlan sighed.

However, Feng Zun simply stroked his chin and said, “If this Lin Xiong man is as impressive as you said, I actually really want him to come for revenge...

After thinking for a moment, Feng Zun again said, "What about this? If you find Lin Xiong, tell him that I will remain in the Nine Furnace City in the near future. If he wants revenge, he can come looking for me anytime.”

“….”

Lin Yunlan was surprised, the long description of him turned out to be completely non-intimidating to his nephew. Worse, it tickled Feng Zun's desire to fight!

"By the way, did Lin Xiong ever come into conflict with my mother?" asked Feng Zun. 

Lin Yunlan nodded, “Do you still remember the Ancestral God Canon I told you about? The old men tried hard to stop your mother inheriting it, as they hoped to save it for Lin Xiong and open her way towards the Imperial Realm."

“However, Lin Xiong was ultimately a branch member. According to our rules, no matter how heaven-defying his talent is, branch members cannot inherit the Ancestral God Canon unless the entire main descendant of the clan has died.”

That was when Feng Zun understood. 

Thus, the crux of the matter was the Ancestral God Canon, the dispute over who inherited it had caused a severe internal split among the Xuanwu Mountain Lin Family.

His mother was targeted precisely because she was qualified to inherit it!

“Doesn't that mean you're also in great danger?” Feng Zun looked at Lin Yunlan.

Lin Yunlan nodded, “If this was the Blue Lotus Realm, they would not dare to do such a reckless thing. After all, the rules of the Lin Family are already an open secret, and we have many Immortal Gods staying. They wouldn't just watch as clan members kill each other.”

Lin Yunlan instantly fell silent, as she was also worried about it.

"Forget it... I encourage you not to search for the Lin Family anymore.” said Feng Zun. 

He added, “I killed Lin Yhang, and Lin Xiong must have hated me so much. It is less likely that he will hold back, so as not to kill you as a way to vent his anger. Given the situation, you should take precautions.”

Lin Yunlan had come to the Luo Mainland despite knowing full well how dangerous the world was. For the sake of her younger sister, Feng Zun's mother, she still chose to take risks.

Even after thinking that Lin Hua had died, Lin Yunlan still did not give up. He still planned to bring his nephew back to the family land, to inherit the Ancestral God Canon in Lin Hua's stead.

Based on that alone, Feng Zun couldn't possibly just stand idly by when he witnessed the calamity befall Lin Yunlan.

Lin Yunlan looked surprised, and as she spoke, she sounded grateful, “You don't need to worry about me. I may not be a match for Lin Xiong, but I'm sure I can get away from him unscathed.”

He paused for a moment, then added, “In addition, I dare say with certainty that he will not take rash action before the Radiant Era. He may be a homicidal maniac, but he's not at all impulsive

“Do you really want to go?” asked Feng Zun.

Lin Yunlan nodded, “I have to see how many experts Lin Xiong has brought with him.”

Feng Zun did not try anymore to hinder his uncle, here he wanted to tell his uncle that his mother was still alive.

When Feng Zun was just about to say it, a voice sounded,

“Mean Daoist Feng, is he really your uncle?” Emperor Long and Jiu Feng had been waiting in the distance during this conversation, and they could no longer hold back their curiosity. 

When he learned of the arrival of others, Lin Yunlan rushed off.

"That's right." 

Feng Zun nodded, then summarized the situation with the Lin Family. Finally, he said, “ Rest assured, this enmity will not involve the imperial family.”

Emperor Long laughed, “I, Long Yujin, have never been afraid of trouble.”

Feng Zun did not linger on the topic. Instead, he said directly, “I will be able to complete the refinement of the Nine Furnace Formation within three days. Although not as powerful as in the past, the formation was still enough to threaten the lives of even late stage Immortal Ascension Realm experts. If the enemy dares to enter the city, they will only seek their own death.”

Emperor Long's heart trembled.

Then, he took a deep breath, got up, and bowed, “Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist. Even if we have to risk destruction, the Long Dynasty Imperial family will be willing to live and die with you. We will go forward and back together!”

How could Feng Zun care about such a thing? 

He ignored the emperor's gratitude and said, “Enough about that. In just seven days, the Radiant Age will soon arrive. You better start preparing, I might be able to protect you for a while, but I can't protect you forever, I'm sure that you understand it too. In the end, the most important thing is your own strength.”

Emperor Long nodded, and before long, he and Jiu Feng said goodbye then left.

“Lin Xiong.. People like him are indeed rare.” Feng Zun remained untangledIn his woven chair, muttering to himself.
