In Kang Tonghui\'s view, a person who could be placed high hopes on by the Great Elder was naturally not an ordinary person. And Lin Xiu\'s goal from the beginning was to become an unprecedented Universe Realm 10th Heaven powerhouse. He had not reached that level yet. If he failed like this, it would be a joke.
The people below all had different thoughts, but there was no doubt that no matter how envious and jealous they were, they sincerely hoped that Lin Xiu could survive this Heaven's Retribution.
The current situation on the continent was too urgent, and they urgently needed someone who could carry the flag and lead the top forces to fight against the Netherworld Palace.
The group of people below watched as Lin Xiu shuttled freely in the Retribution Cloud, and it attracted a burst of heartfelt admiration and envy. They did not know if they would have the opportunity to reach such a height in this lifetime.
Time passed very quickly, and the last Heaven's Retribution finally arrived. This Heaven's Retribution still did not seem to have any momentum, but Lin Xiu had goosebumps all over his body. He felt an unbearable pressure, and unknowingly, his breathing became a lot faster.
The entire Immortal Martial Continent had not seen anyone undergo Heaven's Retribution for tens of thousands of years, and there were only bits and pieces of records on this. Many people did not understand what kind of Heaven's Retribution it was. They only knew that according to the strength of Heaven's Retribution, there were a total of three levels: three, six, and nine.
The group of people below only felt that after the lightning struck Lin Xiu, there was not the slightest change in Lin Xiu's aura, but Lin Xiu stood there in a daze, as if he had fallen into a state of muddleheadedness.
Of course, they did not know that the last Heaven's Retribution would directly affect the soul of a person, commonly known as the Inner Demon Retribution. Since ancient times, who knew how many talented people had fallen at this stage.
Lin Xiu, who was in the Heaven's Retribution, was gradually taken away from his body, as if he had returned to his childhood.
"You were born without a mother, you are not fit to play with us."
"Your father is a drunkard, he is just a useless person. If not for the existence of the family, you and your father would have starved to death."
"You want to compete with us in terms of cultivation, why don't you look in the mirror and see what you are."
Lin Xiu only felt the laughter of his former companions coming from all directions, and they always bullied Lin Xiu for fun.
Tears welled up in his eyes as the young Lin Xiu waved his fists and fought with the children. At the same time, he said loudly, "You guys are the heartless ones. My mother is the most gentle mother in the world."
The little fellow's face was full of tears. Even though he was fighting with all his might, he was still a little smaller than his peers around him. His strength was also not as great as theirs. Soon, he was pressed to the ground by the others.
In the end, the young Lin Xiu's face was swollen and his eyes were filled with tears, but he still raised his head stubbornly and was not afraid of the children around him.
"In the future, I will definitely surpass all of you and trample all of you under my feet!"
After all the little guys had left, Lin Xiu stood up shakily from the ground, patted the dust off, and gently pushed open the door of his courtyard.
Squeak …
The courtyard had not been cleaned for a long time and was overgrown with weeds. In the middle of the weeds, there was a middle-aged man lying there, reeking of alcohol.
Lin Xiu saw this situation and went to the kitchen, then found a stool under his feet and began to prepare some food.
Although for as long as he could remember, he and his father had always depended on each other in this family. Others said that his father was a drunkard, but Lin Xiu did not think so. Because every time the stars were shining, Lin Zhong would always hug him and lie in the courtyard with him, counting the stars in the sky, and then tell how gentle and virtuous his mother was.
The young figure kept stir-frying some vegetables on the stove, and the fumes made the little guy cough non-stop.
Finally, a plate of vegetables was cooked. Lin Xiu put it on a plate and carried it directly to the courtyard.
Although the small courtyard was extremely barren, there was still a stone table in the center. After placing the dishes there, Lin Xiu took a towel that was soaked in water and wiped the stains on his father's face.
At this time, Lin Zhong finally woke up and looked at his son silently. Then, without saying a word, he sat in front of the stone table and began to eat.
Lin Xiu felt a little wronged today. He tiptoed and also sat on the stone table, but the food in his bowl did not move for a long time.
Lin Zhong, on the other hand, finished his dinner quickly and neatly. Then, he walked towards his room.
The young Lin Xiu bit his lips and looked at his father's back without saying a word.
"If you feel that you have been wronged, then work hard to become stronger, and wait until you achieve higher achievements than them in the future." Lin Zhong finally said this when his figure was about to disappear from the house.
Lin Xiu, who did not dare to easily shed tears, suddenly burst into tears at this time.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiu had grown into a 20-year-old young man. Although he cultivated very hard, he was still not well received in the family and his strength was only in the middle among his peers.
Every day, he would constantly listen to the ridicule of his peers and their mockery behind his back. Although Lin Xiu did not seem to care on the surface, he was very painful in his heart.
He didn't understand why his father had been drinking every single day for the past 20 years and didn't pay any attention to his cultivation.
If his father was really just a drunkard, then it would be fine. However, he had clearly heard some of the elders in the clan mention that Lin Zhong was the most dazzling genius in the entire Lin Family back then.
But now, he suddenly fell. Not to mention the growth of his cultivation, he probably could not even lift a sword in these years.
After finishing his cultivation for the day, Lin Xiu returned to the small courtyard. As usual, he did not directly go to the kitchen to cook, but instead, he pulled the drunk Lin Zhong up from the grass.
"Di, can you please wake up? We can\'t live like this anymore, the family doesn\'t like us, and for the past 20 years, whenever I asked you about your conscience, you would always shut your mouth. I want to get my mother back." Lin Xiu\'s eyes were slightly red as he stared at Lin Zhong.
Without saying anything more, Lin Zhong rubbed his sleepy eyes. It was as if he got to know his son again on this day. Then, he signaled with his eyes for Lin Zhong to follow behind him and came to the back mountain of Huaining City.
"Do you really want to save your mother?" Lin Zhong said in a hoarse voice. All these years, he had not talked to anyone at all, and his voice was rough and unpleasant like a millstone.
Lin Xiu nodded heavily, and there was a touch of determination on his face.
From the neighbor\'s point of view, there was only one way to get his father out of the current life, and that was to find his mother.
"Well, now attack me with all your strength. If you can beat me, I will let you out."
Nodding his head slightly, Lin Zhong stood there, indicating that he was ready to attack.
At this time, Lin Xiu had already reached the Bone Tempering Realm. When he attacked in the group, it was naturally powerful. However, when the attack was about to fall on Lin Zhong, he quietly held back a lot of strength.
"Did you not eat? Too weak. "Lin Zhong moved slightly and dodged Lin Xiu\'s attack with ease. His voice was extremely calm.
Lin Xiu\'s face turned red, and he finally did not hold back anymore. He used all his strength, but the result was the same. He couldn\'t even touch the corner of Lin Zhong\'s clothes.
Looking at Lin Xiu who was panting, Lin Zhong shook his head and then looked a little self-deprecating: "You can\'t even beat me, how can you bring your mother back and reunite with the family."
"Since you\'re so strong, why don\'t you try and bring mother back yourself?" Lin Xiu\'s eyes were red as he looked at his father\'s back. He almost roared out the grievances that had been sealed in his heart for a long time.
"I\'m just a clown in front of those people. The difference in strength between us is like heaven and earth. If I go, I\'ll just be asking to be humiliated." Lin Zhong\'s back view was extremely lonely.
"There are some things that if you don\'t try, how can you know the final result? The saddest thing is that you don\'t even have the courage to try. I don\'t know what Mother saw in you back then! " The grievances in Lin Xiu\'s heart were finally released at this time. His attitude towards Lin Zhong was also very different from before.
"But sometimes, isn\'t living a better ending?" Lin Zhong muttered to himself. After a long time, he finally turned to look at his son.
"Your cultivation is too weak now, it\'s impossible to bring your mother out from there."
"Then teach me how to cultivate! If one year isn\'t enough, then 10 years. If 10 years isn\'t enough, then 100 years. If 100 years isn\'t enough, then 1000 years, 10,000 years. "Lin Xiu looked at his father and refused to give in.
So from this day onwards, the Lin family had one less drunkard and the back mountain of Huaining City had two warriors who worked hard to cultivate …
