"You used all your strength? That's impossible. With your Foundation Establishment cultivation and the might of the Azure Frost Sword, even if he could use fire magic to fight you, he still wouldn't be able to overcome your cultivation! "Lin Yuan looked at Lin Long in surprise and voiced the doubts in his heart.
"First of all, he didn't use the fire magic you mentioned. Secondly, I attacked a total of two times, but he defended against it both times!" Lin Long said in a quiet voice, as if there were no fluctuations in his emotions.
"The first time I attacked, I didn't accumulate power. I controlled the Azure Frost Sword to directly attack between his eyebrows. I used seventy percent of my strength, but he completely defended against it!
"The second time I attacked, I personally held the Azure Frost Sword and prepared to use my strongest attack to kill him. However, I don't know what method he used to interrupt my attack. In the end, I used ninety percent of my strength to release the Sword Qi. Because of the deviation, it only grazed his defense, but it still didn't cause any substantial damage to him."
This was the first time that Lin Long had said so much in one go. From Lin Long's narration, Lin Yuan finally understood that he had underestimated Hayashikawa. Not only was this brat powerful, but his mind was also different from ordinary people. He was the only one who could fool the two of them under such circumstances.
"How did he do it?" Lin Yuan asked in confusion.
"He used a powerful defensive technique. This defense is omnidirectional and has no blind spots. However, with his cultivation, he can only use it a few times. If you had come a little later, I would have killed him!" Lin Long said coldly.
"Ahem, this … Let's see what your father has to say about this. After all, he is someone that the head of the family values." Lin Yuan smiled awkwardly.
Qianling Peak was located in the center of the Lin Clan's core region. The spiritual energy there was even more dense than Hayashikawa's Xiaoling Peak. It was the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Lin Clan's region. The tall mountain stood between heaven and earth like a pillar that held up the sky. It had existed since time immemorial.
There were many palace-like clusters at the top of the mountain. It was like a real fairyland. Cranes and spirit beasts wandered around freely. It was very harmonious and beautiful.
Lin Long and Mo Wuji's sword light landed in front of Qianling Peak's mountain gate. The two peak Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were guarding the mountain gate. When they saw the two of them, they immediately welcomed them respectfully.
"Miss Long, Elder Lin Yuan, you're here. The family head is waiting for the two of you at Jadesun Palace. Please follow me!" A disciple gestured for them to enter.
"Patriarch knows that I'm coming?" Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, the family head already knows about what happened at Xiaoling Peak. He also knows that the two of you are rushing here, so he specially ordered me to wait for the two of you here," explained the disciple.
Lin Yuan nodded and didn't say a word. However, Lin Long's frosty face revealed a hint of anger. Since he knew that she was coming back, why didn't he inform her about the Xiaoling Peak in advance? Why did he cause such a ruckus?
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Lin Long followed the disciple in front of her towards Jadesun Palace. She also wanted to see what explanation her father, the head of the Lin family, would have for this matter.
Soon, the tall arched door of Jadesun Palace appeared in front of them. After passing through a corridor of pavilions, the three of them finally arrived in front of the main hall.
"The two of you, this is as far as I can take you. You can enter by yourselves. The family head is already waiting!" With that said, the disciple respectfully retreated and slowly walked away.
Lin Long's expression didn't change. With a cold expression, she reached out and pushed open the door to the hall and walked in.
Lin Yuan's eyes darted around as she followed with a helpless expression.
"Long 'er, are you back? Come, come to Father's side! "Lin Duo's dignified and warm voice sounded with a loving smile.
"Lin Long greets the family head. I'm only here to know what happened at Xiaoling Peak. I hope you can give me an explanation! " Lin Long's voice was neither servile nor overbearing. It was still as cold as winter. There was no hint of a child's joy at seeing his father.
Sitting in the main hall, Lin Duo's expression froze slightly. He fell silent for a moment. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Lin Yuan immediately took advantage of the opportunity. After bowing, he retreated to the side as if nothing had happened. He had no intention of interfering in this matter.
"I've already bestowed Xiaoling Peak to Hayashikawa. Come to my Qianling Peak to cultivate. The spiritual energy here is much more abundant than Xiaoling Peak. I'll give you the best resources. If you need anything, just tell me. There's no need for you to run outside, and there's no need for you to fight people outside for cultivation resources. I'll give you everything you want as long as you come back!" Lin Duo sighed.
"I'm just an ordinary core disciple of the Lin Family. There's no need for the family head to waste your energy on me. If I need anything, I can find it myself. I have hands and feet. I don't need to rely on others!" Lin Long said without a change in his expression.
Lin Yuan stood to the side. He felt extremely awkward. He regretted following Lin Long here. The development of this matter was completely out of his expectations. It involved things he shouldn't know. But now, he couldn't slip away even if he wanted to.
Lin Duo held his breath. Looking at Lin Long, who was extremely respectful to him, he felt like he had punched cotton. A deep sense of powerlessness and frustration kept circling in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"Lin Yuan, what happened at Xiaoling Peak? Tell me in detail!" Seeing that Lin Long couldn't make any breakthrough, Lin Duo could only turn his gaze to Lin Yuan, who had almost shrunk to the corner.
"Er, that … family head, Xiaoling Peak …" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned. When he was about to speak, he was directly interrupted by Lin Long.
"Don't you already know what happened at Xiaoling Peak? It's nothing more than me returning to Xiaoling Peak and having a conflict with Bailingzi Hayashikawa. The only thing I want to know is, why didn't you send someone to tell me what happened at Xiaoling Peak? This is very easy for you. As long as you send the order, I will know as soon as I return to the Lin Family. Isn't that right? You deliberately let me have a conflict with him, right? "
Lin Long asked coldly. Even Lin Yuan could feel the anger in his series of questions.
Lin Duo's face gradually darkened. After taking a few breaths, he said calmly, "Yes, I want you to test his strength. I need a reasonable reason and a trustworthy person."
"Trust is not important. Since the family head wants to know, I will tell you the result. Hayashikawa is very strong. I am not sure that I can kill him. That's all. If the family head doesn't have anything else to say, I will take my leave first!" Lin Long finished speaking coldly and turned to leave without any hesitation. Before he left, he stared fiercely at Lin Yuan, warning him not to tell anyone about what happened at Xiaoling Peak.
Although Lin Long knew that this matter couldn't be hidden, he could always find a solution after some time. At least, he couldn't let Lin Duo know about it now.
