Chapter 70 Return
The Lin family in Jiangcheng, as a family with several foundation-building cultivators in their ancestors and there are still foundation-building masters in the family, although it is not very famous in the Qingyun Sect area now, the area of the mansion in Jiangcheng is still quite large.
Relying on hundreds of years of accumulation, although the area of the Lin family now is not a blessed land of immortals, it can be regarded as a first-class spiritual place in Jiangcheng.
The spiritual fields in the Lin family residence, the purple cloud bamboo forest that helps practice, and the spiritual springs located underground can also bring a lot of income to the Lin family every year.
But it is precisely these wealth that have been coveted by many people.
If it was still strong before, naturally no one would have any ideas, but when it declined, many people would have thoughts.
When Lin Chen stepped into the Lin family residence, he had already used his spiritual sense to sense that the current Lin family has been getting worse year by year. The appearance is barely bright, but the inside can no longer be maintained.
Even on the outside, it looks like a mansion with a noble aura, and there are innate warriors from the mortal world serving as servants, but inside, many people are secretly on guard, ready to fight or run away at any time.
‘After all, it’s still in decline...’ Lin Chen sighed softly in his heart, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart, but he didn’t think much about it and walked forward directly.
Seeing Lin Chen coming, the people on the wall immediately became nervous, and someone shouted: “Who is coming!”
“Lin Chen, a disciple of Qingyun Sect.” Lin Chen said so.
“Qingyun Sect?!” There was a commotion on the wall, and after a while, several people jumped down from it.
“What do you have to prove it?” The leader said vigilantly.
Lin Chen did not speak, but looked at him quietly.
“You…” Seeing the other party staring at him, the leader frowned, and just as he was about to speak, his face turned pale, bloodless, and his mouth twitched, his eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he was paralyzed and stiff because of fear.
Because at some point, a giant beast seemed to appear in front of him, with eyes like full moons and sharp teeth like blades, looking down at him without saying a word, as if he was watching a small ant under his feet on the side of the road.
Such fear, such despair, as if the other party could kill him without a burial place with just a slight breath!
"Captain!" The people behind noticed the abnormality, their faces changed, and they took out their weapons one after another, and some even wanted to use fireworks for help.
"Stop it!" The captain was awakened by this shout, and hurriedly shouted to stop the team members.
"Sir! I don't know why you are here?" After stopping the team members' actions, he immediately bent down and said in fear.
The fear that just came from the instinct of life, he had only felt it in the family's foundation-building ancestors, and from this, it can be inferred that the person who came was not simple!
Now the other party did not take action directly, and he must not come to destroy the clan, so he did not dare to offend the other party, otherwise, if he angered the other party, the other party would pinch him to death, wouldn't it be an unjust death.
Besides, he guarded the Lin family because his wife and children were all there, not for the spirit stones that he earned a few pieces a month.
How much money you have, you will naturally do how much effort you have. The rest of the things will be taken care of by the tall people above. Don't be fooled by the so-called family honor and really rush forward!
"Take me to see the head of your Lin family." Lin Chen said lightly.
"My lord, please wait a moment." The captain whispered a few words to someone next to him, and then immediately jumped onto the city wall.
Kaka!
Not long after, the gate guarded by the spiritual light of the formation was forcibly pushed open.
"My lord, please follow me." The captain said respectfully, and then led the way directly in front.
Lin Chen followed him expressionlessly.
After crossing the gate, what came into view was a wasteland of dozens of meters.
"My lord, please follow me." The captain who led the way in front said solemnly, and then led Lin Chen directly onto a small path.
Lin Chen nodded casually and glanced at the wasteland on the side.
In his eyes, this was not a wasteland at all, but a continuous huge pit more than ten meters deep with spikes all over the bottom!
Obviously, this was a defensive measure made by the Lin family combining the illusion of the formation and the secular trap.
Qi Refining cultivators have no ability to fly, and coupled with the realistic illusion, the huge trap, even if it cannot kill most of the invaders, is enough to delay the speed of the enemy's attack and buy time for the Lin family to prepare for the battle.
The path that Lin Chen is walking on now is caused by an illusion, but it is actually an arch bridge used to connect the passages on both sides of the trap.
After crossing the arch bridge, there is a dense bamboo forest.
Lin Chen sensed that there were formations hidden in the forest, pits buried underground, and many people hiding in the dark. Obviously, this is a place used to fight guerrilla warfare and consume the enemy's manpower.
When he walked out of the bamboo forest, he saw a wall several feet high, which was made entirely of hard granite, and the aura of the formation flashed on it. Its layout was like a city within a city!
Traps, bamboo forests, and city walls, these three lines of defense are the current Lin family's defense layout!
'If it were in the secular world, even if tens of thousands of troops were gathered, they might not be able to break through. But in the world of immortal cultivation, a foundation-building cultivator who can fly, or a few precious earth escape talismans, can easily ignore most of the arrangements...'
Lin Chen looked at the tall city wall in front of him, and his heart was filled with emotion.
This world where great power belongs to itself, let alone the dozens of meters of the city wall, even if it is hundreds or thousands of meters, as long as there is no corresponding spiritual defense means, for high-level cultivators, it is just a toy that can be destroyed at will.
This is this world, a world where the way of gathering people and the system is of little use, and only the strength of personal power is fundamental!
Just as Lin Chen sighed quietly, the captain in front seemed to have communicated with the people on the city wall. After a while, a cultivator walked out of a small door under the wall.
He looked at Lin Chen carefully, then nodded to the captain beside him: "There is nothing for you to do, you can leave."
Then, he bowed to Lin Chen: "Brother, please follow me."
Lin Chen nodded and followed.
Beyond the small door, looking out, there is a huge field, many mortals working in it, and a small part of the spiritual field is managed by cultivators.
There are many houses on both sides of the field. There is also a huge road across the entire field, with many carriages passing by, which is obviously a major transportation route for material transportation.
‘It doesn’t seem to have changed much from ten years ago. ’ Lin Chen took a look, then retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward.
Soon, not long after, he came to a green meadow, with a small bridge and flowing water in front, pavilions and towers, and many servants shuttling through it, and this is the real ancestral land of the Lin family!
“Brother, the courtyard in front is where the clan leader is…”
“Are you the Lin Chen?” The monk who led the way was interrupted before he could finish.
Hmm?
Lin Chen turned his eyes and saw a young man in blue clothes walking over with a group of servants.
“This…” The monk who led the way saw this and couldn’t help but feel a scalp numb. Why did this little ancestor come here?
But he still had to bite the bullet and said, "Master Cheng, Master Cheng, this is the guest that the master wants to meet... Puff!"
Before he could finish his words, he was slapped away by a vicious servant: "How dare you block the master's way, are you looking for death!"
"Are you that Lin Chen? Just because you are qualified to participate in the competition and get so many spirit stones, if I participate..." The young man in green sneered at Lin Chen.
"That's right, our master can win with just one move, why does he need an outsider to meddle in other people's business!" The servant on the side boasted.
'No, where did this bunch of idiots come from? 'Lin Chen couldn't help but be speechless.
Just when he was thinking about following the principle of never forcing others when he could, a voice from behind made him look fixed.
"Cheng'er, stop it, how can you be so rude?" Following the voice, he saw a beautiful woman in palace dress with luxurious clothes and delicate face, and a middle-aged man in a long robe with thick eyebrows and big eyes slowly walking from not far away.
Seeing who was coming, Lin Chen was stunned at first, and after a long while, a cold smile appeared on his face.
‘I was wondering why this idiot in front of me looked so familiar, it turns out that they are all old friends...’
The two people in front of him were the good relatives who forced him to transfer his property and forced him to run away from home!
