Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan

Chapter 57: Is Lin Zhongba Dead!? I Implore Grand Ancestor to Take Action!



“Are you from the Lin family in Renhuai County?" The middle-aged man in the white robe suddenly realized and asked.

Lin Ran was slightly taken aback. Even after crossing two territories, there were still people who could recognize them. Without needing a response from them, Lin Ran's change in expression had already given the man the answer.

"My name is Chang Ying. You've probably heard of me," the middle-aged man in the white robe introduced himself.

Hearing this, Lin Zhongba and Lin Ran's expressions paused for a moment. They did indeed know this name. Chang Ying, the Master of the Third Peak of the Nine Peaks Sect, was the upper sect of the Lin family in Renhuai County.

"Senior, are you trying to use your influence to pressure us?"

Lin Ran slightly furrowed her brow. The Lin family's development in Tianyuan Prefecture couldn't afford to create too much trouble with the upper sect, the Nine Peaks Sect. However, they had to fulfill Grand Ancestor's task.

Facing this, Chang Ying chuckled lightly and shook his head. "It seems you don't understand me. I also have another title: 'Daoist Bu Jin'. It means I am never stingy and am open-minded about everything. I came here purely out of curiosity about the birth process and appearance of this Heavenly Spirit.

"Of course, I won't deny that if there's an opportunity, I won't miss it. But both of you seem to want it. I'll withdraw from the competition, but keep in mind that I was never your primary competitor here."

Chang Ying finished speaking and voluntarily retreated a hundred miles. Then, he gazed at two spots in the sky.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhongba's expression subtly changed. Two Golden Core cultivators? He hadn't noticed them until just now, and it was evident that their strength far surpassed his own.

"Chang Ying, when did you start meddling in others' affairs?"

The void trembled, and a young woman in her twenties, dressed in a white robe, slowly appeared. Her exquisite and dignified features, along with her perfectly fitting robe that showcased her well-defined figure, all added to her aura of nobility and elegance. She seemed like a celestial being from the heavens, not entirely belonging to the mortal world.

At this moment, her slightly furrowed brows conveyed a hint of displeasure as she looked at Chang Ying. The latter obediently put on a smile since he knew he couldn't afford to provoke her.

"Fairy Yunyao, the birth of the Rainbow Maiden is imminent, and you have the highest cultivation strength here. There's no doubt about it. I congratulate you in advance on gaining another direct disciple. From now on, Yunyao Palace will have another Golden Core cultivator," Chang Ying spoke as the woman revealed herself.

As soon as the woman appeared, the disciples from Yunyao Palace were utterly astonished. They hadn't expected that the rumors about Fairy Yunyao actually seeking to take the Rainbow Maiden as her disciple were true.

Fairy Yunyao, the most legendary figure of Yunyao Palace, was without equal. She was a Ninth Revolution Golden Core cultivator, the pinnacle of the Golden Core realm. Thirty years ago, she had suddenly arrived at Yunyao Palace and, in a single night, wiped out the Third Rank Golden Core power here. Yunyao Palace was established on that very day.

In the heavens, when Fairy Yunyao heard Chang Ying's words, her brows slightly furrowed, but she didn't continue speaking. Instead, she gazed at another figure in the void.

"The hounds from the Mu family have actually tracked us here," Fairy Yunyao said in a cold tone.

Upon hearing this, the elderly man in Eight Trigrams attire, a Seventh Revolution Golden Core cultivator, had no reaction. He looked at Fairy Yunyao and said, "Miss Nangong, why resist the inevitable when both great families have already agreed upon this matter?

"The family has been searching for you for thirty years, and now they've finally located your approximate location. I've already relayed your information back to the Nangong family, and I believe they will soon send someone to bring you back."

Fairy Yunyao didn't speak, but the cold aura surrounding her suddenly intensified.

Chang Ying couldn't help but retreat another hundred miles, fearing that he might get caught in the crossfire. In the past few years, the surrounding Golden Core powers had been curious about Fairy Yunyao's background but hadn't made much progress in their investigations. It seemed that her true origins were even more significant than they had imagined.

Most ordinary Nascent Soul powers couldn't allow a Golden Core cultivator to humiliate them and accept it calmly. Furthermore, it seemed that there was no family with the surnames Nangong or Mu here.

As Chang Ying retreated, he pondered his thoughts.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a rainbow-colored pillar of light shot up into the sky. Within the light, a young girl in a colorful dress sat with her hands on her knees, appearing as though she was in a deep slumber.

"The Rainbow Maiden is born!"

A cultivator exclaimed upon witnessing the scene.

Before anyone could react, a figure quickly crossed through the void and appeared by the Rainbow Maiden's side. With a simple wave of his hand, a small box, the size of a palm, appeared and circled above the Rainbow Maiden's head. In the next instant, the Rainbow Maiden's figure disappeared in front of everyone.

As they focused their gaze, they recognized the face of the person who had acted – a sixteen-year-old prodigy, Lin Ran, at the Foundation Establishment Peak.

In the sky, Fairy Yunyao hesitated for a moment but chose not to interfere. If her family members were genuinely coming for her, she wouldn't be in the mood to accept disciples. However, the elderly man from the Mu family across from her had a cold expression.

If he had to suffer a loss here at Miss Nangong's hands, it was one thing. But two Foundation Establishment ants daring to snatch the treasure right in front of him? They clearly didn't know their place.

"Boom!"

Almost without any pause, as soon as the old man from the Mu family noticed Lin Ran's actions, he launched a furious attack.

The power of a Seventh Revolution Golden Core cultivator instantly caused the sky over Hongshan County to change. Just as Lin Ran collected the Rainbow Maiden, she noticed the attack from the Mu family's elderly cultivator.

Unfortunately, it was too late to react. At this critical moment, a figure stood in front of Lin Ran, and dozens of ordinary skills appeared around Lin Zhongba. However, in the face of absolute power, these skills seemed to lose their effectiveness. The gap in strength between the two was too vast.

"Bang!"

The power of a Seventh Revolution Golden Core cultivator ultimately struck Lin Zhongba, and his body was instantly shattered in the void. Lin Ran was left in complete shock.

Grandpa was dead!?

Realizing this, her eyes instantly reddened. Unprecedented anger welled up within her, and she glared at the elderly Mu family cultivator.

With a furious and murderous tone, she said, "You old bastard, you're going to die!"

After saying that, Lin Ran formed a cupped-hands gesture, and a white scale, about the size of a palm, materialized. An invisible aura radiated from the white scale.

"Lin family's descendant, Lin Ran, pleads for Grand Ancestor to avenge Grandpa!"

As Lin Ran looked at the scale, she knelt down, her voice filled with remorse and self-blame echoing in the sky over Hongshan County.
