Chapter 437: Holy Land Alliance (1/2)

Yang Xuelian sighed.

The reason why she left this will was, on the one hand, to cheer up her husband Zhao Zhiyuan and cultivate better; on the other hand, it was also to allow her son to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, so that he could help her and her husband to avenge their couple in the future!

After hearing this, Zhao Zhiyuan immediately agreed: "My son obeys your order, mother, don't worry, my son will do his best to treat his father."

Lin Yun also agreed: "Mom, don't worry."

"Okay, mother believes in Yun'er, she will definitely do it." A gratified smile appeared on Yang Xuelian's face.

"My son is leaving!"

Then Lin Yun turned around and left the mourning hall.

"By the way, mother, is Zhao Hao mentioned in the will?" Lin Yun asked casually while walking on the road.

Lin Yun wanted to see if his younger brother would also participate in this assessment.

"No, there are only you, Zhiyuan and Zhiyong, the three brothers, Zhide and others are not qualified to enter the Temple Academy at all." Yang Xuelian shook her head.

Yang Xuelian added: "By the way, Yun'er, as far as I know, there will be a master from the Holy Domain Alliance who will come to the imperial capital to observe the enrollment of the Holy Temple this time."

"What?! A master from the Holy Domain Alliance? And he came to observe?" Lin Yun was shocked.

This Holy Domain Alliance can be called the "top force" in the Jiuzhou Continent, and its headquarters is located in the Shengyuan Continent.

Even a behemoth like the Shengyuan Sect has to bow down in front of the Holy Domain Alliance.

Even some elders and protectors of the Shengyuan Sect who have met the masters sent by the Holy Domain Alliance were turned away!

The Holy Domain Alliance is the supreme ruler of Jiuzhou and has a transcendent status. In Jiuzhou, the Holy Domain Alliance represents authority.

Even the helmsmen of the nine top forces have to be respectful when they see the masters of the Holy Domain Alliance.

"Mother, who is it specifically?" Lin Yun asked.

"I don't know the details, but I guess this Saint Alliance master is probably trying to see which of you three brothers has the stronger talent." Yang Xuelian said.

"I see." Lin Yun nodded suddenly.

"By the way, Yun'er, I heard from Zhiyuan that you work in the City Lord's Mansion?" Yang Xuelian asked.

"Well, I'm now responsible for taking care of the Zhao family's young master's food and daily life." Lin Yun said.

"Since Zhiyuan has asked you, you should take more care of the Zhao family's young master. He is the only bloodline of the Zhao family. If anything happens to him, the Zhao family will definitely cease to exist, and I will feel guilty to death." Yang Xuelian pleaded.

"Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of him." Lin Yun responded quickly.

"By the way, mother, I have something else to ask you." Lin Yun changed the subject.

"What is it?" Yang Xuelian looked at Lin Yun.

"Mother, I remember you said that Dad's martial soul is an ice-type martial soul, and it has reached the sixth level." Lin Yun asked.

"Yes, this is what Zhiyuan told me personally." Yang Xuelian nodded.

Lin Yun continued to ask: "Mom, I wonder if you have heard of the elixir with ice attribute?"

The ice martial soul is of the sixth grade, and this kind of elixir should be able to help the martial soul recover.

"Elixir?" Yang Xuelian thought for a few seconds before slowly speaking: "I have indeed heard of such an elixir, and this kind of elixir is extremely precious. One pill is worth a thousand gold coins. I am afraid it is difficult to buy it unless someone exchanges it for a treasure!"

Hearing this, Lin Yun fell silent.

Lin Yun certainly does not have enough money to buy it now.

Lin Yun has just broken through to the second-level Void Realm not long ago, and he still has 50,000 taels of silver notes and some miscellaneous things in his hand.

But these are obviously not enough to meet Lin Yun's needs!

"Yun'er, what's wrong?" Yang Xuelian asked in confusion.

"Mom, I..."

Lin Yun hesitated.

"Yun'er, just say what you want to say." Yang Xuelian smiled gently.

"Mom, if I can bring back a sixth-grade elixir from the temple to save my father, how much reward can you give me?" Lin Yun said.

Lin Yun wanted to break through the trial tower to get points and exchange for elixirs.

"Oh? Yun'er, can you bring it back from the temple?" Yang Xuelian's eyes flickered slightly, obviously a little surprised.

Yang Xuelian thought to herself: This kid actually has a way to enter the temple? How is this possible!

Even Yang Xuelian herself couldn't figure this out.

"Yes, mother." Lin Yun nodded with a smile.

"Yun'er, let's do this. If you can bring back this sixth-grade elixir, I will give you another five million silver notes as a reward." Yang Xuelian thought for a moment and gave Lin Yun a reward.

"Thank you, mother." Lin Yun smiled with satisfaction.

Five million silver notes are nothing to a rich man like Yang Xuelian, but for Lin Yun, it is already a huge sum of money, and Lin Yun just needs so much money.

...

At the same time, in the Lin Mansion.

"Zhiyuan, mother heard that the people from the Holy Temple came this time to select outstanding talents to study in the Holy Temple?" Yang Yulian said as she sat down to drink tea.

"Yes, mother. As far as I know, there are only fifty places for this session. If you can stand out from this group of people, you will successfully enter the Holy Temple." Lin Zhiyuan said.

Although Lin Zhiyuan's father was a high-ranking official at the time, he was demoted and transferred because of his mistakes, causing a heavy blow to the family.

Lin Zhiyuan's mother Yang Xuelian was forced to marry Lin Zhiyuan's father. She once held a grudge, so she always hoped that Lin Zhiyuan would be able to rise to prominence in the future and bring glory to their family.

"Among the fifty people in this class, besides our Lin family, which other descendants of aristocratic families are there? Zhiyuan, don't forget that you are the eldest grandson of the Lin family. You must strive for excellence and don't fall behind!" Yang Xuelian reminded.

"Don't worry, mother, Zhiyuan naturally understands. This time I will definitely not embarrass our Lin family!" Lin Zhiyuan patted his chest and promised.

"Well, go ahead and work hard." Yang Xuelian nodded and signaled Lin Zhiyuan to withdraw.

After Lin Zhiyuan left.

"Husband, do you think Zhiyuan can do it?" Yang Xuelian raised her head and looked at Lin Zhiyuan's father.

Lin Zhiyuan's father Lin Hai sighed and shook his head: "This time, my Lin family is probably in danger."

"Why? Isn't it enough just because Lin Zhiyuan is the eldest grandson of the direct line?" Yang Xuelian frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.

"Of course it's not enough. The difference between the direct line and the collateral line is quite big! For example, the eldest son of the direct line can inherit a certain inheritance, while the eldest son of the collateral line basically cannot inherit it and can only rely on his own efforts! The eldest son of the direct line has the opportunity to inherit the entire Lin family in the future." Lin Hai said slowly.

"Is it so strict?" Yang Xuelian's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes, Xuelian, of course, this is only limited to the direct line children. For example, Zhiyuan's grandfather's generation also gave birth to direct line children, but only his uncles and aunts gave birth to direct line children. As for the collateral line, they can't give birth to direct line children at all." Lin Hai explained.

"Husband, if this is true, then..., wouldn't it be that only five direct line eldest sons of each generation can be left in the end?" Yang Xuelian's face sank.

"That's right!" Lin Hai nodded.

Although Lin Zhiyuan is the eldest son of the direct line, he is born from a collateral branch after all. Even if he is the eldest son of the direct line, the probability of being able to stay in the end is frighteningly low!

"Husband, then aren't we...?"

"Xue Lian, this is fate. God wants the Lin family to die." Lin Hai sighed with emotion.

"Ah." Yang Xue Lian took a deep breath and could only shake her head and sigh.

Lin Hai couldn't help but say: "I'm worried about Lin Zhian, the eldest son of the Lin family this time. He is a third-level body refiner with strong strength! If he participates in the competition, Lin Zhiyuan will definitely not be defeated."

After hearing this, Yang Xue Lian's pretty face became even darker.

"No matter what, we have to go all out." Lin Hai gritted his teeth and said.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed quietly.

That evening.

"Huh~ I finally cultivated the "God and Demon Body Refining Art" to the ninth level." Lin Yun stopped meditating.

During this period, Lin Yun persisted every day and used spirit crystals to improve the level of the "God and Demon Body Refining Art".

"The Temple's recruitment assessment is getting closer and closer. I must report today!"

Lin Yun stood up and walked outside.

The temple is located in the Beiliang King City of the Xingwu Empire. There are special buildings for the temple to use. The rest of the buildings are public places, including streets, restaurants, etc., where ordinary people are allowed to set up stalls and trade.

This temple occupies a large area and is towering and majestic, standing like a palace in the Beiliang King City.

Of course, this is only in the city. No one is allowed to stay outside the city.

The Temple Recruitment Office is the registration office set up by the Temple, guarded by four powerful people in the God Transformation Realm.

"To go to Beiliang King City, you must first pass through the Beihuang Mountains." Lin Yun looked at the endless Beihuang Mountains in front of him.

"The Beihuang Mountains are too dangerous. This is the only way. I am only in the Jindan Realm now, so it is definitely not suitable for me to go." Lin Yun murmured.

Then, Lin Yun turned his head and looked at a tavern next to him.

Lin Yun was going to rest here and buy a map to Beiliang King City.

Just as Lin Yun was about to walk into the tavern, a woman suddenly stopped Lin Yun.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Yun?" the woman asked politely.

Lin Yun stopped immediately after hearing this.

"Yes." Lin Yun replied calmly.

The woman immediately showed a touch of joy.

"Mr. Lin Yun, our lady invites you to come in and talk." The woman smiled.

"Oh? Who is your lady?" Lin Yun was puzzled.

Lin Yun and this woman were strangers, why did her lady come to Lin Yun?

"This..., I'm sorry I can't reveal it, Mr. Lin Yun, please follow me in and you will know." The woman made a gesture of invitation.

"Okay, lead the way." Lin Yun nodded.

Then, Lin Yun followed the woman into the tavern.

Lin Yun wanted to see who the master behind this woman was.

"Please wait!"

When he was about to enter the tavern, the tavern owner hurriedly called Lin Yun.

"Huh?" Lin Yun turned around and looked in confusion.

"Sir, our shop is temporarily closed today. If you need entertainment, how about coming back another day?" The tavern owner smiled apologetically.

"Why are we closed today?" Lin Yun asked in confusion.

"It's like this. Our boss lady is sick today and needs someone to take care of her, so..." The tavern owner smiled bitterly.

"I see." Lin Yun nodded suddenly. No wonder there are not many customers here.

Then, Lin Yun took out 200 low-grade spirit stones from the storage space and handed them to the shopkeeper.

"Sir, can you let me stay for one night?" Lin Yun said apologetically.

"Sir, wait a moment." The tavern owner hurriedly accepted the spirit stones.

Soon, the shopkeeper led Lin Yun into the backyard and arranged for Lin Yun to stay.

This tavern covers a very large area, enough to accommodate thousands of customers.

The layout of the room is very simple, with only a table, two chairs, and a pot of flowers and plants.

After Lin Yun entered the room, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to practice.

…

As night fell, the Beihuang Mountains were dark.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

Lin Yun opened his eyes, jumped up from the bed, jumped out of the window, and flew into the depths of the Beihuang Mountains.

“I haven’t seen Master for so long, and I don’t know how Master is doing? I hope Master is doing well.” Lin Yun murmured as he galloped.

At this moment, Lin Yun was already eager to miss Master Chuxiong.

Because Master Chuxiong, to Lin Yun, was like his biological father.

“No!”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Lin Yun’s mind.

Lin Yun remembered that he had asked Master Chuxiong to find his father’s trace.

Master Chuxiong once said that if the Lin family was arrested, they would go to the Southeast Six Counties to find a secular person named Lin.

“Southeast Six Counties…”

“I remember my father told me before that he was from the Southeast Six Counties. Could it be that my father is in the Southeast Six Counties?” Lin Yun guessed in his heart.

Then, Lin Yun suppressed his excitement.

"If my father is really in the Southeast Six Counties, I should be able to go there in time."

"Go to the Southeast Six Counties first, find out the specific location, and then infer the approximate range of my father based on the topography of the Southeast Six Counties." Lin Yun murmured.

Although this is more troublesome, Lin Yun feels that it is safer.

After all, if you miss the opportunity, it will be difficult to find him again.

"Hmm? There seems to be someone in front."

"Swish!"

Lin Yun quickly approached.

"Hmm? It's her!"

After approaching, Lin Yun found that the graceful figure was actually Bai Bing'er.

"Miss Bai!" Lin Yun immediately stepped forward and called Bai Bing'er.

"It's you, what are you doing here?" Bai Bing'er stopped and looked surprised.

"Miss Bai, I heard that Beiliang King City held the Saint List Selection Competition today, so I came here specially." Lin Yun explained.

Bai Bing'er's beautiful eyes lit up instantly: "Really? Are you really going to participate in the selection?"

"Yes." Lin Yun nodded seriously.

"Wow, that's great, I can finally see you fight, I know you will succeed!" Bai Bing'er smiled sweetly.

"Miss Bai, thank you for your support." Lin Yun clasped his fists to thank her.

"Hehe, I didn't support you, I just supported my brother." Bai Bing'er covered her mouth and laughed.

As soon as the voice fell, Bai Bing'er continued to fly forward.

Seeing this, Lin Yun could only chase after her.

The two quickly left Beiliang City and entered the western area.

"Miss Bing'er, how long will the selection start?" Lin Yun asked.

"Soon, it will probably be about half a month." Bai Bing'er replied.

Hearing this, Lin Yun also looked forward to it.

...

On the other side, in a forest outside the Beihuang Mountains.

"Brother, we have been running for more than three months, haven't we escaped yet?" A man in green couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry, it's still early before the agreed time."
