Lin Buzheng strode forward and returned to the clan in ten minutes.
"Lin Buzheng, the clan leader and the elders are waiting for you in the clan's meeting hall. Please make a trip there immediately!"
A disciple had been waiting at the main entrance of the clan since early in the morning.
When he saw Lin Buzheng, he quickly went up to inform the upper echelons of his summons.
"Got it."
Lin Buzheng nodded. He knew very well that the upper echelons of the clan had summoned him to deal with the aftermath of his killing of the Demonic Lord Bewitchment.
The Demonic Lord Bewitchment's cultivation had reached the terrifying Dao realm, and no one in Evergreen County could stop him.
He was overbearing and unscrupulous.
During this period of time, he had harmed many innocent women in Evergreen County.
As such, several factions in Evergreen County had banded together and placed a bounty on the Demonic Lord Bewitchment's head.
Anyone who killed the demon would be rewarded handsomely.
Apart from that, the fact that Lin Buzheng had killed the Demonic Lord Bewitchment had made all the Lin family disciples proud. It was normal for the upper echelons of the clan to praise him.
If Lin Buzheng's guess was right, the upper echelons of the clan would definitely reward him.
The Lin family's meeting hall was located in the deepest part of the Lin family's thousand-mile mountain range.
It was several miles wide.
The green leaves were the tiles, and the tree trunk was the wall.
His entire body was filled with traces of vitality, perfectly fusing with his surroundings.
In the next moment, Lin Buzheng revealed his identity to the disciples standing guard outside the meeting hall. Then, he passed through an ancient willow tree and entered the meeting hall with its fluttering willow branches.
The Lin family's meeting hall was extremely spacious, spanning several miles.
Even if thousands of disciples entered at the same time, it would not feel crowded.
The meeting hall did not have a roof, nor did it have seats.
Instead, there were dozens of spirit trees that were thousands of zhang tall. They were arranged neatly and rose from the ground.
The long branches and leaves intertwined to form the roof of the hall.
The tree trunk was used as a base, and dozens of spirit path mighty figures stood at the top of the spirit tree. Martial Qi of various colors burst forth from their bodies, making them look like dazzling stars in the night sky.
Wisps of spiritual energy emanated from the trunk and leaves of the spirit tree.
It transformed into a dense mist of spirit energy that enveloped the entire meeting hall, causing it to seem extremely peaceful and divine.
"The main house actually has so many Spirit Path mighty figures."
"The depth of their foundation is indeed incomparable to that of the branch family!"
Lin Buzheng sighed.
There were as many as thirty Spirit Path Almighties in the clan's meeting hall.
Deep inside the meeting hall, there were eight or nine elders of the clans with pure Martial Qi surrounding their bodies, emitting a faint aura that resonated with the Heaven and Earth.
Obviously, these clan elders' Martial Dao cultivation must have reached the peak of the Spirit Path realm.
He was only one step away from the Dao Supremacy Realm!
"Junior Lin Buzheng greets seniors!"
In the next moment, Lin Buzheng walked unhurriedly to the center of the meeting hall and bowed respectfully to the family's spirit path almighty figures who stood on the spirit trees not far away.
"You're Lin Buzheng?"
"You're only in the Qi Dao realm, but you're able to cross three major realms and kill the Demonic Lord Bewitchment. You've helped Evergreen County eradicate this demon. The younger generation will surpass us in time!"
In the middle of the meeting hall, on the most verdant and lush spirit tree, a burly middle-aged man slowly descended from the top of the spirit tree towards Lin Buzheng with his hands behind his back.
His eyebrows were straight and his expression was firm, exuding a dignified aura.
Lin Xinyue's appearance was rather similar to this person.
If Lin Buzheng's guess was right, this person should be the clan leader of the Lin family, Lin Yuntian.
"Thank you for the compliment, clan leader."
Lin Buzheng replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. He could sense an obvious kindness from the clan leader.
"Lin Buzheng, you don't have to be nervous."
"The reason why the upper echelons of the family summoned you here is because they want to know how you killed the Demonic Lord Bewitchment. That way, they'll be able to spread your name in Evergreen County."
"Secondly, you've killed the Demonic Lord Bewitchment. Based on the rewards offered by the major forces in Evergreen County, they'll give you a huge reward. Similarly, you'll need to come here to complete the relevant procedures and verify certain details."
The clan leader, Lin Yuntian, nodded enthusiastically at Lin Buzheng without any hesitation in his tone.
"Brother Yuntian, it's said that the Demonic Lord Bewitchment is ever-changing and is best at bewitching people."
"Perhaps it's fake that he killed the Demonic Lord Bewitchment. Instead, he's being impersonated or controlled by the Demonic Lord Bewitchment to infiltrate our Lin family."
"Just in case, I suggest we conduct an identity check on this lad."
However, at this moment, a clan elder seated at the front of the meeting hall spoke calmly.
His voice was calm and emotionless.
Lin Buzheng looked over instinctively when he heard that.
The clan elder was a middle-aged man dressed in green. He sat cross-legged at the top of the spirit tree.
He was tall and had an ordinary face.
His left arm was placed in front of him, and his right sleeve was casually hanging down, fluttering in the wind.
Lin Buzheng glanced at the man and immediately retracted his gaze.
"Alright."
The clan leader, Lin Yuntian, nodded lightly and then waved his hand at the clan steward beside him.
The latter immediately left.
Not long after, the clan steward returned with a palm-sized jade bowl in his hand. The bowl was filled with a clear, fragrant liquid. It looked quite similar to the spirit liquid used for the clan's bloodline assessment.
"Lin Buzheng, this is the tree sap of the clan's ancestor. It contains a wisp of the ancestor's will."
"As long as you drip your blood into the jade bowl and mix it with the tree sap, we'll be able to determine if you're the Demonic Lord Bewitchment in disguise or if you're under his control."
The clan leader, Lin Yuntian, nodded lightly at Lin Buzheng.
Upon hearing that, Lin Buzheng immediately made a small cut on his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood into the jade bowl.
Lin Buzheng was not the Demonic Lord Bewitchment in disguise, nor was he under his control. Naturally, he was not afraid of the identity test.
Buzz!
As soon as Lin Buzheng's blood dripped into the bowl, it blended perfectly with the strange tree sap in the bowl.
The blended liquid emitted a blurry green light.
It was a powerful proof of Lin Buzheng's identity.
"Alright!"
"You're really not the Demonic Lord Bewitchment in disguise. This makes things much easier!"
The clan leader, Lin Yuntian, smiled and became much more relaxed.
"Lin Buzheng, I'm going to verify a few details about how you killed the Demonic Lord Bewitchment. You must answer truthfully."
"First, how did you kill the Demonic Lord Bewitchment?"
However, the smile on Lin Yuntian's face disappeared as he asked solemnly.
He looked at Lin Buzheng with an extremely serious gaze.
"I used an offensive talisman to kill the Demonic Lord Bewitchment."
Lin Buzheng answered calmly.
He had already thought of this excuse when he killed the Demonic Lord Bewitchment.
The talisman was made of special materials and sealed within it was the power of a mighty martial artist's attack.
Anyone could activate it and use it against an enemy.
It was perfect for Lin Buzheng to use this as a cover for the terrifying fist intent that killed the Demonic Lord Bewitchment, as well as the many secrets in his body.
"The Demonic Lord Bewitchment's cultivation was at the Dao realm.
"An offensive talisman that can kill an Dao realm Supremacy must be at least an Earth-middle grade offensive talisman.
"Where did you get such a precious talisman?"
