"F * ck, you call this not making things difficult for me?"
Tendo couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lin Ray. He had seen shameless people before, but this was the first time he had seen someone as shameless as Lin Ray.
However, he couldn't do anything about such shamelessness. This made Tendo feel powerless.
"How about it?"
"I …" Tendo looked at Lin Ray and pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Alright, but remember, only three souls, no more, otherwise …"
"Don't worry, I'll only give you one. I won't give you more." Before Tendo could finish speaking, Lin Ray interrupted him.
"Alright, then I'll go find them for you." After saying that, Tendo disappeared in front of everyone.
"Heh, it's settled."
Turning around, Linley looked at his mother and said, "Mother, in a moment, the Heavenly Dao will bring Father and Uncle's souls back. However, my cultivation level is low and I don't have the ability to reconstruct their bodies. So …"
"Brother … Brother Feng, they … can they really come back to life?" She was shocked, excited, and in disbelief. The scene just now made her completely believe Lin Ray's words.
"Yes, but in their current state, father and uncle aren't really coming back to life. They're just in a soul state."
"If I want them to come back to life, I'll have to reach the Body Synthesis Stage before I can help father rebuild their bodies."
"At that time, they'll be truly reborn, so …"
"It's … it's fine."
At this moment, the old man who had been silent all this time finally spoke. "As long as your father and uncle can come back to life, everything else can be done slowly."
At this moment, the old man had no other emotions other than excitement. For an old man who had lost his son, suddenly having his son come back to life was something that made him very excited.
"That's right, Lei 'er. That's not a problem. As long as your father can come back to life, all the problems won't be a problem anymore," Huo Yun said. She only had gratitude towards her son.
"Hmm, that's good."
Seeing that they didn't mind, Lin Ray was relieved. Tendo should be back soon. After all, this matter was very simple for him.
As long as he made a move, he would be able to bring out a few souls. Of course, Lin Ray had also prepared for the worst. Even if Tendo failed to bring Lin Feng and the others back, he would not mind making a trip to the Nine Underworlds.
After all, it wasn't like he hadn't been to a place like the Nine Underworlds before. Back in the Divine World, he was the one who had burned down the Nine Underworlds' Sacred Mountain.
Time passed little by little. It had already been two hours since Tendo left. Lin Ray's expression grew more and more gloomy as he waited. He did not understand why Tendo had not returned after such a long time.
After two hours, he had a bad premonition. "Please don't let anything go wrong."
At this moment, Lin Ray could only silently pray that nothing bad would happen.
Another two hours passed. Finally, the figure Lin Ray had been waiting for returned.
"You're finally back. Did you bring the thing I asked for?" The moment Tendo appeared, Lin Ray could not wait to ask for it.
"I …"
Looking at Lin Ray, Tendo had a troubled expression. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. It was as if something bad had happened.
"What's wrong?"
Sensing the change in Tendo's expression, Lin Ray's expression turned gloomy. His heart thumped as a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
"I'm sorry. I might not be able to do what you asked." With a wave of his hand, two indistinct souls appeared in front of Lin Ray.
Looking at the two souls, Lin Ray frowned and a touch of tenderness appeared on his face.
These two figures were none other than his uncles. At this moment, Lin Ray sensed that something was wrong. The only one missing was his father, Lin Feng.
"What's going on? Why didn't my father's soul come back? What happened?" He understood that with Tendo's ability, it was impossible that he could not bring back his father's soul.
Now that one was missing, the only explanation was that either that person was not dead, or that person's soul had been destroyed. Another possibility was that the soul he wanted had been taken away by someone else in advance.
These three possibilities were possible. However, in a plane like Tianming, the third possibility was automatically blocked in Lin Ray's mind. In such a low-level plane, he did not believe that anyone could do this.
Of course, this was excluding himself and Tendo. Then, the question was, where was his father, Lin Feng's soul?
"Your father's soul seems … seems to have been taken away by someone in advance."
"What?"
Hearing this result, Lin Ray was stunned. His face was full of disbelief. Taken away? This answer was automatically blocked by him. He did not expect that it would be true today.
"How is this possible?"
In the next moment, Lin Ray reacted. In such a low-level plane, even if one cultivated to the level of Martial God, it was impossible to enter the Nine Underworlds and take away a soul. But now …
"I don't know, but what I can be sure of is that your father's soul has indeed been taken away. Judging from the aura I sensed before, the person who took your father's soul is a cultivator, a serious immortal cultivator."
Lin Ray was speechless.
Looking at Tendo, Lin Ray did not want to say anything. Thinking about it, he was the master of a realm. How could he not know that someone had entered this place?
Seeing Lin Ray's strange gaze, Tendo was stunned and quickly changed the topic. "You … don't look at me like that. I really didn't know that there was a cultivator in Tianming, just like you."
"Sigh!"
Sighing, a murderous intent flashed. The person who took his father's soul was already on Lin Ray's must-kill list.
Looking at Tendo, Lin Ray said, "I need to trouble you with something."
"Speak."
"Help me find a place with abundant spiritual energy. I want to recover my cultivation."
"Mm, sure."
"Also, during my absence, protect my Lin Family and make sure that no one dares to harm them."
Hearing this, Tendo was stunned. Without thinking, he shook his head and refused. "No, I'm Tendo. You want the great Tendo to guard your door, how can you …"
"After I recover my cultivation, I'll give you a trace of comprehension of the world's will. I believe it will be very useful to you."
"Of course, Lord Tendo is a man of noble character. Naturally, he would not be interested in the insignificant trace of origin energy of the Emperor."
With a trace of regret, Lin Ray continued, "Forget it, since that's the case, I'll …"
"Aiya, what are you doing?" At this moment, the Heavenly Axiom opened his mouth to interrupt. He looked like he was paying attention to a lackey, and there was nothing wrong with that.
"Your family is my family. Your business is my business. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Lin family will not receive the slightest bit of harm."
Everyone: "…"
Seeing Tendo's fickle behavior, everyone felt a chill. Is this still Tendo?
Of course, Linley was extremely clear about how precious this strand of origin energy was. With just this strand of origin energy, he believed that the Heavenly Dao should be able to cultivate to the Immortal Reverent Stage or even break through to the Deity Stage.
And Tendo wasn't the only one who would benefit. The entire Heaven's Mandate would benefit.
Tendo's breakthrough in cultivation meant that his status would rise. With Tendo's status confirmed, the entire Heaven's Mandate Realm would rise. When the time came, the amount of spiritual energy would be even more shocking.
"Mm, that's good. I hope you'll keep your word. I'll also keep my promise to you."
"Keep."
With a wave of his hand, he collected the two uncles' souls and sealed them with a special method.
Although the two uncles' cultivation had not reached the level where their souls could not be destroyed, they were at least cultivators. So even if their souls were released, they would not dissipate in a short period of time.
After doing all this, he raised his head and looked at Tendo. "Go and help me find a place with abundant spiritual energy without impurities. When Emperor's cultivation recovers, I'll give you what I promised you."
"Mm, I got it!"
In response, Tendo turned and disappeared before everyone's eyes. This matter had finally come to an end.
News of Lin Ray's awakening had already spread throughout the Yan Country. This was not good news for the various large clans and the royal family.
They only knew that Lin Ray had awakened, but they didn't know that the old patriarch of the Huangfu Clan had died. Moreover, the person who killed him was Lin Ray, who had just awakened.
In the Lin family's hall, the old man sat at the top and looked at everyone with a serious expression. His gaze fell on his fourth son as he said, "From today onwards, the family will be on alert. All Shadow Guards will gather in the mansion. Anyone who trespasses in the Lin Province, regardless of their status or background, will be killed without mercy."
"Also, I'm afraid that those people will not be peaceful for the next few days. Order all the shops to close."
"The same goes for the military. Ask Gu Jun to take care of all the soldiers who are loyal to the Lin family. As for the vermin in the military, I don't want to see them for even a day, and I don't want to hear about them. Do you understand?"
The orders left Si dumbfounded. This was the first time he had seen such a strict order. However, when he thought about what had just happened, he understood.
"Understood. Don't worry, Father. I'll take care of it right away," Si replied.
"Yun 'er, you'll be in charge of feeding Ray good food at home. After all, he was in a coma for eight years and could only eat liquid food. Look at how skinny he is."
Hearing this, Lin Ray smiled bitterly. However, Huo Yun was very serious. "One, Father. I know even if you don't say it."
"I guarantee that Ray will be well fed in the next few days." When these words came out, Lin Ray was stunned. It couldn't be true, right?
"Mm, alright. You guys go. Too many things have happened today. I'm tired too!" As he spoke, he got up and walked towards his small courtyard.
Lin Ray, who had been standing below and watching the old man's back, knew that killing Huangfu today might have been a little reckless, but he did not regret it.
Killing people who deserved to be killed was not wrong. If he could do it again, he would do it again.
The courtyard was silent. Huo Yun looked at her son who had just woken up and smiled. Then, she reached out and grabbed his ear. "Little brat, why didn't you tell me when you woke up? Let's go. See how I'll deal with you."
Lin Ray: "…"
Time passed quickly. For the next few days, Lin Ray could be said to be living a life worse than death. Every day, he was filled with motherly love. However, this motherly love was too much for Lin Ray to bear.
Just like what Huo Yun had promised the old man, Lin Ray did not do anything other than eat. As long as the sky was bright, even if Lin Ray was hiding, Huo Yun would be able to find him.
After Si received the old man's order, he gathered all the Shadow Guard in the mansion. The military and the business world also obeyed the old man's orders. Without any hesitation, the whole thing was done cleanly without the slightest hesitation.
Sure enough, just as the old man had expected, the next day, there were assassins who sneaked into the Lin Mansion to assassinate Linley. However, at that time, the Lin Mansion was already surrounded by an inescapable net. It was as impregnable as an iron fortress. Even a fly would find it difficult to enter the Lin Mansion, let alone a person.
Huangfu's house.
In Huangfu's meeting hall, it was already packed with people. Everyone's faces were in agreement, and they were all anxious.
"What's going on? The old man didn't come back after he went out. Who can tell me where the old man went?" The person who spoke was middle-aged and looked like a leader.
"Sigh, who knows where the Old Master went? You have to know that the Old Master is usually like this. You can only see him when he wants to see you. If he doesn't want to see you, it's useless even if you look for him."
"That's right, that's right."
Once these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. They didn't say anything because these words were very true. Even if it was the old man's own son, it would probably take a long time to find his father.
However, just when everyone was silent, a cold voice rang out in the hall. "I might know where Grandpa went."
"Hmm?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes focused on the person who spoke. They saw that the person who spoke was a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old. However, the little girl's expression was a little inconsistent with her face.
"Jing?"
That's right, the person who spoke was the granddaughter of the Huangfu's old man, Huangfu Jing. She was also the person who was engaged to Lin Ray.
"Yes, I know." Looking at everyone's anxious gazes, Huangfu Jing spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly. "Previously, Grandpa said that he was going to the Lin family to cancel my engagement. I originally thought that Grandpa was joking, but now that Grandpa hasn't come back, I suspect that Grandpa really went to the Lin family."
"What? The Lin family … "
Everyone was shocked. A trace of seriousness flashed across their faces. The Lin family could be said to be at the cusp of a storm. It was like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Now that the old man had gone and never returned, a trace of a bad premonition arose in everyone's hearts.
"What do we do? The Lin family is now invulnerable. If the old man is really among them, then …"
"Don't panic. The old man lives in the Huangfu family. Based on the current situation of the Lin family, I'm afraid that even if they ate the courage of a leopard, they wouldn't dare to do anything to the old man."
Once these words were spoken, everyone nodded. In their hearts, the Lin family was so weak that they despised them.
"Hmm, that makes sense."
