What shocked Lin Yun was that this place was too special. In the spacious decaying library, he had seen the diary left behind by the Starry Sky College's Heaven Mage Werth. It had been recorded in his later years and contained almost all of his experiences. It mentioned that when he led the Starry Sky College's Planar Legion to the Volcanic Mountain Range, they were besieged by a large number of Raging Flame Beastmen. At that time, he was separated from the Planar Legion and luckily managed to hide in a secret place. He explored the place and ultimately obtained the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras.
Werth's diary didn't mention how he obtained it, he only vaguely mentioned that it was in the Volcanic Mountain Range.
Although the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, which could make countless mages envious, was hidden in the Volcanic Mountain Range, it definitely wasn't a safe place. After all, it was the Raging Flame Beastmen's headquarters and countless powerhouses were gathered there. Trying to explore the ruins in the Volcanic Mountain Range was like committing suicide. Lin Yun didn't know how Werth had succeeded.
When he saw that map, Lin Yun knew that he had to make a trip to the Volcanic Mountain Range, whether it was for the Merlin Family or for himself.
"It seems that only by piecing together this map would we be able to find the specific location of the ruins. The Watson Family also has half of it. Several hundred years ago, the Watson Family's Ancestral Land attacked the Merlin Family for this incomplete map. After several hundred years of silence, they finally proposed to cooperate and explore the ruins together. This is the fundamental reason for cooperating with the Watson Family." Oren Merlin's expression sank. "But that is bound to belong to our Merlin Family, we absolutely can't let the Watson Family obtain it …"
Lin Yun, the new member of the Family Council, stayed in the Guardian Tower for over an hour and chatted with a few ancestors for a long time before being brought out by Ryan. According to Oren Merlin, he was going to show him the true Merlin Family.
The two walked side by side towards the depths of the Ancestral Land, and after over half an hour, a Planar Path appeared in front of them. When they stepped on the Planar Path, Lin Yun clearly felt that this Planar Path was very stable and was most likely established by a Heaven Rank powerhouse.
His vision blurred, and the scenery around him changed completely. It was as if he had appeared in a huge city. There were many buildings around him, and there were even many Magic Towers that were more than seven stories tall. Squads of silver-armored guards passed through the streets in an orderly fashion. There was not the slightest bit of chaos. Moreover, after coming to this place, Lin Yun clearly felt that the mana here was very rich. If he meditated here all year round, his efficiency would increase several times.
Although it was still lacking compared to his Natural Demiplane, this kind of place was rarely seen in Noscent. Only those major forces would have this kind of place dedicated to nurturing young geniuses.
'Demonic aura, Undead aura …'
Suddenly, Lin Yun felt two auras and couldn't help frowning. How could there be Demonic auras and Undead auras in this kind of place? Out of curiosity, he cast a few Mage Eyes and flew in the surroundings. After a few minutes, he saw a shocking scene. Two huge cracks had appeared in two different directions, and a steady flow of Undead and Infernal lifeforms was coming out.
The mage army was fighting with those Infernal lifeforms and Undead lifeforms. Although there were many of them, the Merlin Family's mage army was also very powerful, and there were even some Archmages among them. At this time, the mage army killed many Undead and Infernal lifeforms, but the Undead and Infernal lifeforms coming out of those cracks seemed endless. Even if they killed a lot, more kept coming out.
If this kind of battle continued in a deadlock, the mage army would inevitably suffer some losses.
"Rumble …"
At this time, Ryan Merlin, who was next to Lin Yun, made a move. He displayed the power of a Peak 8th Rank Archmage and transformed into a huge Mana Hand that fiercely grabbed at one of the cracks. In an instant, countless Infernal lifeforms exploded, and that crack slowly closed. Then, he followed the same pattern and sealed the other crack.
After doing all this, Ryan Merlin explained to Lin Yun, "The space of this place is very unstable. Every once in a while, some lifeforms from other planes will appear. But this is also good, it can temper the army and increase their fighting power …"
Accompanied by Ryan Merlin, Lin Yun took a stroll around the huge city and discovered that this place was no different from Noscent. There were many people living here, and after Ryan Merlin's introduction, he learned that there were many young children and armies here. Moreover, there wasn't just one huge city, but seven.
In the end, Lin Yun and Ryan left and returned to the Guardian Tower of the Ancestral Land. They followed the spiral staircase and arrived at the conference hall, where they met Thorne Merlin.
"Mafa Merlin!"
Thorne Merlin, who had appeared in the Guardian Tower, was clearly stunned when he saw Lin Yun's silhouette. His gaze then turned ice-cold. He was undoubtedly the one who hated Lin Yun the most in the entire Merlin Family.
Aube Merlin, who had placed countless hopes on him, was destroyed by Lin Yun.
That damned Mafa Merlin, he actually didn't receive any punishment for doing such a thing. This made Thorne Merlin even angrier. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Lin Yun like a viper and hatefully said, "You destroyed my son Aube Merlin's Mana Whirlpool and turned him into a cripple. I definitely won't forgive you. Although I can't do anything to you now, just you wait. When we reach the Raging Flame Plane, I'll fulfill my promise and throw you into the Wailing River …"
Lin Yun 'gaze couldn't help turning cold. He frowned, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he poured mana into the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and slowly brewed it.
"Thorne Merlin, you are too impudent! Do you know who you are talking to?"
Ryan Merlin had naturally returned with Lin Yun. When he saw Thorne Merlin, he realized that something unpleasant might happen. He clearly knew what had happened that day, but he didn't have time to stop it before Aube Merlin was crippled, and then Thorne Merlin and Lin Yun started fighting.
This gave him a headache. Thorne Merlin was a 5th Rank Sword Saint. Even in the Ancestral Land, he could be considered a cornerstone. Letting him and Lin Yun go to the Raging Flame Plane together was the most suitable. But unfortunately, the hatred between the two was hard to resolve. But Lin Yun 'status in the Merlin Family had already changed, and he was now on the same level as Thorne, a member of the Family Council.
Thus, Ryan Merlin severely reprimanded Thorne Merlin. The Family Council represented supreme authority in the Merlin Family and controlled everything. In other words, as a member of the Council, Lin Yun 'status was a lot higher than Thorne Merlin's. For Thorne Merlin to speak so rudely, he could be directly convicted.
"Sir Ryan …"
Thorne Merlin was so scared by Ryan Merlin's sudden reprimand that he was sweating. In the past few days in the Ancestral Land, he had more or less understood some secrets. He knew that this old man in front of him had a lot of influence in the Ancestral Land.
His voice was trembling slightly, and it was completely due to fear …
But he really couldn't understand why Sir Ryan was so angry. After all, Sir Ryan had taken care of him a few days ago in the Ancestral Land.
Moreover, after being in contact with Sir Ryan for a while, he found that this old man with an aloof status had a docile temperament and was easy to get along with.
But now, Sir Ryan was actually angry …
'It seems that what I just said to Mafa Merlin caused Sir Ryan to become angry. But this didn't make sense. What kind of person was Sir Ryan? He was someone who stood at the peak of the Archmage realm and controlled a lot of power. How could he care about a youth like Mafa Merlin?
But Ryan Merlin's "Do you know who you are talking to?" puzzled Thorne Merlin. Who else could he be talking to? Of course it was Mafa Merlin …
'Could it be that the person standing in front of me isn't Mafa Merlin?'
'How could this be …'
He would recognize the b * stard that crippled his son even if he turned to ashes.
Just as Thorne Merlin was puzzled, Ryan Merlin's voice echoed once again, but this time, the old man's voice was a bit more solemn. "Thorne Merlin, you might not know, but Mafa Merlin has officially joined the Family Council and is now a Representative. Since you didn't know, I won't hold you accountable, but you have to apologize to Representative Mafa. Do you understand?"
Ryan Merlin was bitterly smiling as he said this. He had clearly noticed that although the new Representative hadn't said anything, he had poured mana into his Magic Tool, as if he was planning on making a move.
Although Lin Yun had been very secretive, and even Thorne Merlin hadn't noticed it, Ryan Merlin was an old man who had lived for a few hundred years and was a Peak 8th Rank Archmage. How could such a small move escape his notice?
But …
Making a move in the Guardian Tower of the Ancestral Land was truly unprecedented.
Ryan Merlin clearly understood that others might not have the guts to make a move in the Guardian Tower, but this new Representative wasn't. After all, a few months ago, this new Representative had not only wreaked havoc in the Merlin Family's Elder Council, but he had even killed three of them and crippled one.
Perhaps only Ryan Merlin himself knew that he had just asked Thorne Merlin to apologize to Lin Yun in order to save Thorne Merlin. Otherwise, with Thorne Merlin's power as a 5th Rank Sword Saint, he might not be able to handle it.
In fact, Ryan Merlin had already learned from Rio Merlin about what had happened in the periphery of the Ancestral Land. Rio Merlin, who had been a 5th Rank Archmage for many years, had been oppressed by that new Representative, let alone Thorne Merlin, who had just become a 5th Rank Sword Saint.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was truly doing this to save Thorne Merlin.
