"Who exactly are you?" Hayashikawa couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression. He slowly took a step back. He realised that he had misjudged Lin Chen's threat level.
"You don't have to be nervous. I have no ill intentions towards you! It's just that as time passed, I remembered some things! "Lin Chen saw Hayashikawa's reaction and tilted his head as he spoke.
"Who exactly are you?" Hayashikawa asked the same question.
"As you can see, I am Lin Chen. Actually, the first time we met wasn't during the disciple allocation. It was in the Lin Family's ancestral hall. Of course, I'm not referring to the Lin Family's ancestral hall in the Nanming Continent, but the one in the Nakagawa Continent!" Lin Chen said calmly, like a god who had seen through all the falsehoods in the world.
"The Lin Family's ancestral hall in the Nakagawa Continent!!!" Hayashikawa's expression became more and more unpleasant. He realised that the young man in front of him was far more terrifying than he had imagined. This terror didn't refer to his strength or cultivation level, but rather his aura and the way he seemed to control everything.
Hayashikawa was sure that when he had met Lin Chen a few months ago, he didn't have such an otherworldly aura. However, when they met this time, the feeling he gave off was completely different. It was as if he had changed into another person. However, the essence of him hadn't changed. It was an extremely contradictory feeling.
At the same time, Hayashikawa had already quickly searched through the memories of this body. However, he still couldn't recall seeing a young man who looked like Lin Chen in the ancestral hall. Moreover, Hayashikawa's status was low. He basically didn't have the opportunity to set foot in a place like the Lin Family's ancestral hall.
"I remember that at that time, your body was confined by someone's spiritual power and brought here. Then, they dug out your eyes and gave them to another child …" Lin Chen said softly. Although it was only a few words, it had already opened up the biggest scar in Hayashikawa's heart!
"At that time, I was watching from above the ancestral shrine, near the left hand side …" Lin Chen continued, as if he didn't see Hayashikawa's bloodshot eyes and his increasingly heavy breathing.
Suddenly, Hayashikawa's heart stirred as he recalled the scene at that time. He recalled a scene that he didn't want to recall for the rest of his life. Then, he remembered that above the ancestral shrine, near the left hand side, there was a coffin placed there!
"You are … that coffin …" Hayashikawa's eyes widened in shock. If his memory was correct, there was indeed a coffin in that position, and the one sleeping inside was none other than a famous ancestor of the Lin family from thousands of years ago, known as the Sword Immortal!
"You … How is this possible … Haven't you been dead for a thousand years …" Hayashikawa looked at the person in front of him and felt a sense of suffocation. That was an old monster from a thousand years ago. No wonder he gave off such an ethereal and vicissitude feeling. His aura was not something he could fathom with his current cultivation.
"Simply put, I've been reincarnated! This isn't a secret, but no one knows who I was in my previous life! " Lin Chen ignored the shocked expression on Hayashikawa's face and continued to calmly narrate, as if there was nothing in this world that could cause his emotions to fluctuate.
"What do you want from me?" Hayashikawa asked, breathing heavily. He didn't think that Lin Chen was here to have tea and reminisce about the past with a junior like him. For someone like Lin Chen, everything he did would have a purpose, and it definitely wouldn't be simple.
"Of course I'm here to overthrow the Lin family of the Nakagawa continent. Isn't that what you want to see?" Lin Chen asked in return, as if he already knew that Hayashikawa's wish was to destroy the Lin family.
Hayashikawa didn't say a word, only silently looking at Lin Chen!
He didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at this moment. The Lin family of the Nakagawa continent, the Old Ancestor in the ancestral hall, the reincarnated Lin Chen, the desire to overthrow the Lin family, all of these things came one after another at the same time, causing Hayashikawa's emotions to be in turmoil.
"I'm here to tell you that the current head of the Lin family, Lin Duo, has mistaken you for another person — the demonic existence of the young man who was born with different pupils! That's why you can directly become Bai Lingzi and receive so many cultivation resources. But one day, when he finds out that you're not that person, you may have to face his monstrous wrath and be hunted down! "
"I'm telling you all of this in the hope that one day, when I return to the Lin family of the Nakagawa continent, I'll be able to trample the sanctimonious Lin family under my feet with you. At least for now, it seems that you have the potential to do so. Don't disappoint me! Otherwise, I'll kill you with my own hands! "Lin Chen said calmly, a cold light flashing in his sword-like eyes.
"You're the Old Ancestor of the Lin family, why do you want to destroy the Lin family?" Hayashikawa finally asked. He actually believed many things that Lin Chen had said, because some things, other than those who were present at the time, could not possibly be known by anyone else.
The only thing that Hayashikawa couldn't figure out was why the Old Ancestor of the Lin family, the reincarnated demonic existence, would attack the Lin family.
"That's not something you should know. You only need to remember that my hatred for the Lin family is no less than yours!" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he said coldly.
"That's all I have to say. Take care of yourself. Who knows, we might even meet in the Grand Tournament! It's a good challenge to have a taste of the strength of the young geniuses from thousands of years later! " After Lin Chen finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the cave on the Xiaoling Peak, leaving Hayashikawa alone in the same spot with a serious expression.
From the moment Lin Chen mentioned Hayashikawa in the Nakagawa continent, his identity was no longer unassailable. Furthermore, Lin Chen had seen with his own eyes that his eyes were dug out, and now he had white hair and white eyes. He didn't believe that Lin Chen wouldn't notice these changes.
"This world of self-cultivators seems to be far more terrifying than I thought!" Hayashikawa's heart was heavy as he turned around to look at Bu Lianshi and Qin Lang who had just walked in.
"I saw Lin Chen leave, so I came in to take a look. Are you alright, Brother Hayashikawa?" Bu Lianshi asked worriedly when he saw Hayashikawa's pale face.
"Do you know about reincarnated people?" Hayashikawa asked. If there were people around him who knew about reincarnation, then it was most likely Bu Lianshi and Qin Lang.
"Ah! Reincarnated people? Could it be that Lin Chen is a reincarnated person? This … How is this possible … Where did he come from … "After hearing Hayashikawa's question, Bu Lianshi immediately realized something and exclaimed. His expression changed drastically.
"What's a reincarnated person?" Qin Lang also looked at Bu Lianshi with a puzzled expression. Even he had never heard of this before.
"Legend has it that after a cultivator reaches the Void Training Stage, they have the possibility of being reincarnated after death. The higher the cultivation, the higher the possibility of being reincarnated. Even so, in the entire world of self-cultivators for tens of thousands of years, there have been no more than a hundred recorded reincarnated people. If Lin Chen is really a reincarnated person, then his cultivation when he was alive was at least at the Void Training Stage!" Bu Lianshi said with an ugly expression.
