The weather was turning to autumn, and a chill enveloped Yunyang City. Occasionally, a few loud sounds could be heard from the dark clouds in the sky, making this small city, which had been preserved from a distant era, feel even more oppressive.
What was even more oppressive was the courtyard that occupied more than half of the land in the east of the city.
The smell of blood filled the air, and the sound of fighting could be heard continuously from this courtyard. A group of grey-robed disciples desperately blocked the entrance to stop the men in black from coming in.
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.
Combined with the fresh blood on the ground, it instantly turned this place into a sea of blood, and a murderous aura filled the sky.
A person slashed out with his sword, splitting the men in black in front of him.
Fresh blood spurted out and splattered on the plaque at the entrance, staining the big word "Lin" red.
In the depths of the courtyard.
Almost everyone in the Lin Family, old and young, was gathered here. The old ones had grave expressions, while the women and children were pale.
"Mother, will we die?" A little girl looked at her mother nervously. Her big eyes were filled with fear.
"Don't spout nonsense. Our Lin Family has been standing in this world for millions of years. Our two ancestors are the saviors of this world. Even the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth could not destroy our Lin Family. What can the three great families do?"
The girl's mother held her child's head, her eyes filled with hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, "Wait until the elders awaken the spirits of our Lin Family's ancestors according to the method of our ancestors. We will definitely tear the three great families into pieces!"
"Yes, yes, I believe in you, Mother. The ancestors must be very powerful!"
The little girl nodded obediently, but she did not know that the elder of the Lin Family in front of her had a grave expression.
The method of the ancestors did exist.
However, no one knew whether it would succeed or not.
After all, this was not the first time they had failed in thousands of years.
Otherwise, their Lin Family, which used to have two Celestial Emperors, would not have fallen into such a situation.
From the peak of glory in the Human Sovereign State, they had no choice but to retreat to the desolate East Divine Province, and then hide in their current ancestral land.
During this time, too many things had happened that caused the Lin Family's status to plummet, and they were no longer as glorious as before.
The method left behind by their ancestors was also ineffective.
This caused everyone from the Lin Family to feel despair in their hearts.
"Sleeping ancestor, the bloodline of the Lin Family has reached its final juncture. If you are still alive, please come back and protect the Lin Family. Protect the Lin Family …"
At the very front was an emaciated old man with a head full of white hair. He held a walking stick in his hand and stood in front of the altar in the ancestral land of the Lin family. He was chanting loudly using the method left behind by his ancestors.
The entire courtyard was shrouded in sorrow.
Everyone was sobbing.
Their bloodlines were noble, and they were the descendants of the Celestial Emperor. They should have been born with pride, but now, they were beaten to such an extent by a group of rascals.
He was about to be driven into a corner.
How sorrowful was this?
How helpless was that?
Tears of blood dripped down from the corners of the eyes of the Lin family's elder and fell onto the altar. Everyone was praying that the legend left behind by their ancestors would really come true.
Miracles would really happen.
But after a long time.
Everyone was gradually disappointed, and in the end, they despaired.
The altar was still as recorded in the history books. There was no movement at all. The place that the Lin Family had guarded for thousands of years seemed to be a scam.
"Hahaha, the Celestial Emperor Lin Family is such a joke!"
At this moment, a burst of laughter came from the door. Everyone from the Lin Family was shocked and looked back.
They saw a middle-aged man in black walking in slowly with a red broadsword, followed by a large group of young men in black.
Murderous intent filled the sky!
"Li Ping Yang, our Lin Family is content with our territory. We have no grievances with your Li Family. Why do you want to join forces with the Mo Family and the Wang Family to kill us?!"
A middle-aged man from the Lin Family gritted his teeth and asked with a dignified look.
He still did not understand why the three families, who were usually at peace with each other, would suddenly declare war on the Lin Family.
"Lin Family Head, you are still so naive. The winner takes all. Don't you understand this principle?"
"Your Lin Family used to be very powerful. Even though you have declined, you still ruled this area. But now, this area has changed its surname to Qin."
"Do you think that as members of the old royal family, the current Emperor would let you live here without worry?"
At this point, Li Ping Yang's face was filled with murderous intent.
The one who wanted to destroy the Lin Family was not the three families of Yunyang City, but the current Emperor, the Emperor of the Qin Kingdom!
However, the Lin Family had the blood of the Celestial Emperor flowing in their veins. No one knew if their ancestors still had friends who were still alive.
To be on the safe side, the three families had to do it on their behalf.
"It's him, it's him …"
Hearing Li Ping Yang's words, the Lin Family Head, Lin Zongyao's face was ashen. He did not seem to be surprised. With a sorrowful expression, he murmured, "I have already passed the power to them under my father's orders."
"Both sides had already agreed to mind their own business. The Qin Family was in charge of this country, and the Lin Family was to live in seclusion in Yunyang City and never come back. Why do they have to kill us? Why do they have to kill us?!"
At the end of his words, Lin Zongyao could not help but roar at the sky. The Qin Family had deceived the Lin Family and betrayed them. In these years, after the Lin Family's powerhouses had withered again, they had actually tried to kill them.
Li Ping Yang looked at the angry Lin Zongyao with pity and said, "Lin Family Head, on account of the fact that the Lin Family is indeed extraordinary and is the descendant of the Celestial Emperor, we will not humiliate you. You … kill yourselves!"
Hearing this, the dozens of people in the Lin Family were all filled with grief and indignation. They had never thought that they would end up in such a state.
"Oh great ancestor, do you see this? Your descendants have already risen like this. Why haven't you woken up yet?! "
The Lin Family's Elder Priest shouted again. His voice was mournful and filled with despair.
Li Ping Yang frowned and said sarcastically, "The ancestors of the Lin Family have been dead for thousands of years. If they were still alive, they might have the ability to return. Why do you have to do this?"
"Stop daydreaming here. No matter how glorious an aristocratic family is, it will still wither. Today, let me break your dreams. Rest in peace!"
With that, Li Ping Yang waved his sword and slashed at the Lin Family's altar. Everyone in the Lin Family was shocked.
Although the altar did not help the Lin Family in any way, it was the place that the Lin Family had guarded for thousands of years.
In fact, the Lin Family had fallen because of this place.
But now, Li Ping Yang had attacked it. How could the Lin Family not be angry?
However, Li Ping Yang's attack was too sudden and too fast. No one was able to block it in time.
"Li Ping Yang, you deserve to die!!!"
Lin Zongyao's eyes were red as he shouted angrily.
The Lin Family's Elder Priest was furious when he saw the sword light land on the altar and break the huge rock that had been corroded for thousands of years.
He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"The Lin Family is going to die … Ancestor!"
The Lin Family's Elders cried out in grief. Even the altar in their ancestral land had been destroyed. They no longer had the face to continue living.
"Hmph, is this your Lin Family's altar? There's nothing special about it. It's just a broken rock. How could you have guarded it for thousands of years? What a joke. "
Li Ping Yang glanced at the altar. When he slashed with the sword, he was a little guilty and worried that there was something forbidden on the altar.
After all, the Lin Family was a real Celestial Emperor family.
The Lin Family's altar had been passed down from ancient times. It would not be strange if there was something special about it.
But now, he was completely relaxed and disdainful.
What altar?
It's just a bluff.
"I'll give you three minutes. Kill yourselves or let me do it. Make your choice!"
Just when everyone in the Lin Family was in despair and the child's cries resounded in the courtyard, Li Ping Yang was about to lose his patience. Suddenly, a faint sound came from the altar.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
"What's that sound?"
Li Ping Yang was stunned. He looked at the altar in surprise and sneered.
"You're just playing tricks!"
As he spoke, he slashed at the altar again.
The Lin Family members could not react in time. They could only stare at Li Ping Yang angrily. They wanted to skin him alive.
Bang!
In the next moment, the altar exploded again.
This time, the voice was even more intense.
Dong!
Dong!
The powerful sound was like a giant heart that was recovering. The beating sound was getting louder and louder.
Li Ping Yang's face finally turned serious.
The Lin Family members were stunned at first, but they were soon overjoyed.
"Ancestor, is that you? Are you back? " An elder of the Lin Family threw himself in front of the altar and crawled into the pit in the middle. He was in tears.
In the next second, he saw a huge bronze coffin in the huge pit. An aura that made one's heart tremble came from the bronze coffin.
The coffin lid had been opened.
A pale young man in white was lying in the coffin. He looked so peaceful as if he had died.
However, a strong and powerful heartbeat could be heard from his body.
Li Ping Yang rushed to the altar while the Lin Family members were not paying attention. He looked at the young man in the coffin and his face changed.
He did not expect that there was someone in the Lin Family's altar.
"Is this the ancestor of the Lin Family?"
Li Ping Yang was shocked at first, then his face turned cold. "No, I have to attack him before he wakes up. Otherwise, we will all die!"
Although Li Ping Yang did not know what kind of existence the person in the coffin was, he could not ignore the legend of the Lin Family.
This was a true Heavenly Emperor Clan.
How could the person guarding such a family be weak?
However, from the looks of it, there was something wrong with the person before him, and he had yet to recover from it.
If he did not attack now, they would be the unlucky ones.
Thinking of this, Li Ping Yang's eyes flashed with a strong killing intent. He raised the long saber in his hand.
"Li Ping Yang, how dare you!"
Lin Zongyao, the head of the Lin Family, shouted as if he had seen through Li Ping Yang's intention. He immediately rushed toward him.
"Stop him!"
Seeing this, Li Ping Yang sneered.
In the next moment, a black-clothed elder blocked in front of Lin Zongyao. No matter how angry Lin Zongyao was, he could not take a step forward.
Although the Lin Family elder in front of the altar knew that he was no match for Li Ping Yang, he still rushed toward Li Ping Yang recklessly.
"You bastard, how dare you hurt my Lin Family's ancestor. I'll fight it out with you!" The Lin Family elder's face was ferocious as the spiritual energy in his body surged.
"You want to be me with a mere phenomenon?"
Li Ping Yang sneered disdainfully. Then, his aura shook, and a terrifying king's aura instantly roared.
It made the Lin Family elder's breathing stagnate.
Although the Phenomenon Realm and the Immortal Realm were only one realm apart, in reality, the difference was like heaven and earth.
After all, at the Immortal Realm, one could be called a king.
In the entire world, none of them were weaklings.
The only person in the Lin Family who had reached this realm was Lin Zongyao.
However, the current Lin Zongyao was restrained by a black-clothed elder and could not stop Li Ping Yang at all.
In front of such a powerful person, the Lin Family elder had no power to fight back at all.
Just as he was about to be slashed by Li Ping Yang, an invisible force suddenly blocked in front of the Lin Family elder. No matter how much force Li Ping Yang used, he could not advance even half an inch.
This made Li Ping Yang look shocked.
"You want to kill me?"
In the next moment, a faint voice sounded. Like a ghost, it suddenly entered Li Ping Yang's ears, causing his expression to change drastically.
Then, the air in this area suddenly froze.
Li Ping Yang did not dare to think too much and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but in the end, he realized that he could not move at all.
"What's going on?"
Li Ping Yang's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.
In the next second, he saw a white-clothed youth with a pale face suddenly standing on the ruins of the altar, staring at him expressionlessly.
Li Ping Yang only glanced at that gaze, but he only felt his soul tremble. What kind of gaze was that?!
There was no emotion. Indifference. Extreme indifference!
High and mighty, like a god overlooking the world, as if all the people in the world were just ants in his eyes.
"You want to kill me?"
The youth spoke again.
His voice was like a sudden clap of thunder, exploding in Li Ping Yang's ears.
Poof!
In the next moment, Li Ping Yang's ears, eyes, mouth, and nose all flowed with varying degrees of blood.
A dignified ruler of the Immortal Realm was actually shocked to the point of bleeding from all his orifices.
The powerhouses who had charged into the Lin Family with Li Ping Yang could not help but turn pale with fright.
"The ancestor's spirit has manifested, the ancestor's spirit has manifested!!!"
When the Lin Family saw this scene, they were first shocked, then immediately knelt down and worshipped in the direction of the white-clothed youth, crying tears of joy.
Seeing this scene, the white-clothed youth frowned slightly and muttered, "Ancestor? Am I your ancestor? "
"But who am I?"
At this moment, a trace of confusion flashed across the white-clothed youth's face, as if he had forgotten everything …
