After much hesitation, he finally agreed to Xiao Tian's suggestion. Furthermore, Xiao Tian was right. If they found out that they had been lied to, the entire Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe would be wiped out. After all, it would be a piece of cake.
After thinking for a while, he nodded. "I can agree to your conditions. However, before I can confirm whether you are telling the truth, the entire Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe must be within the Kui Tribe's line of sight. Furthermore, your cultivation must be sealed. Only then can I trust you and accompany you to find that human."
"This..."
Xiao Tian hesitated. After all, this concerned the lives of his entire tribe. If his cultivation was not sealed, he might still be able to fight. Even if his cultivation was not sealed, he could at least escape. However, if his cultivation was not sealed, the old man from the Kui Tribe would not agree to what he had just said.
After thinking for a while, he looked at his tribesmen who had been subdued or were still fighting. Looking at their pained expressions, Xiao Tian's heart... softened.
"Alright, I... agree!"
In the end, Xiao Tian agreed to the Kui Tribe leader's request. It was not for himself, but for the lives of his entire tribe.
Seeing that Xiao Tian had agreed, the old man smiled and nodded. "Alright, since that's the case, let's announce it!"
He turned around and looked at his tribesmen who were fighting in the distance. A look of sadness flashed across his eyes. He then said, "Tribesmen of the Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe."
Suddenly, Xiao Tian's words caused the entire place to fall silent. Xiao Tian did not think that this was his threat. He looked at the old man behind him.
When the old man saw Xiao Tian looking at him, he smiled and nodded. Clearly, the Kui Tribe had their reasons for stopping the battle!
"Tribesmen!"
Looking at the remaining 10,000 tribesmen, he said, "Today, my Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe has been framed. Now, in order to find the culprit, Xiao Tian asks everyone not to act rashly. Let the Kui Tribe seal your cultivation while I go back to find that human. When the truth is revealed, our tribesmen can live. If not, then... our Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe will be wiped out in Peng Lai!"
As he spoke, in order to get his tribesmen to agree with him, two drops of crystal clear tears appeared in his eyes. Coupled with Xiao Tian's guilty expression, it was very pitiful!
"Xiao Tian is here to plead with my fellow tribesmen. For the sake of the Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe's future, please let go of your resistance. I promise that I will definitely find the culprit and ensure everyone's safety!"
"This kid is good. He can easily fool his own clansmen." The old man admired Xiaotian's eloquence.
Right now, he was like a clay bodhisattva crossing a river. He couldn't even protect himself. Yet, he had to promise so many clansmen. Heh … he really wanted to see what kind of expression he would have if he couldn't complete it in the end!
"Patriarch … I …"
"Patriarch, I believe in you. I believe that you will save us."
"Yes, we believe in the patriarch!"
"We believe in our people!"
With the first to speak, more and more clansmen agreed. Soon after, the entire Howling Firmament Wolf Clan and all the remaining Howling Firmament Wolves agreed to Xiao Tian's suggestion!
As soon as they agreed, the people from the Kui Clan stepped forward and sealed the cultivations of all the members of the Howling Sky Wolf Tribe!
"Patriarch, you will definitely be able to catch that human. You will definitely come back for us!"
"Yes, we believe in the patriarch. Patriarch, you will definitely not abandon us!"
At this moment, what was happening here was very far away. Lin Ray didn't even know that something like this would happen.
"Xian Er's time is up." Previously, there was a period of recovery due to the suppression of the pill. However, now that the time was up, he … had yet to return.
"Black Yellow Pill. Think about the Black Yellow Pill. Only the Black Yellow Pill can completely cure your daughter's illness. Think about the pain he suffered back then. Think about how you watched Xian Er recover from her pain!" The system's voice rang out. Suddenly, Lin Ray was immersed in his memories!
As for the Howling Sky Wolf Tribe and the Kui Clan, he didn't have the mood to care about them!
…
In front of the palace, Lin Ray and Lin Tian's figures appeared. They lifted their heads and looked at the palace in front of them with complicated expressions.
"Milky Way Hall!"
That's right, this was the Milky Way Hall. This was the place where they discovered Xian Er cultivating the Dark Ice Heavenly Art.
"Young Master, Xian Er is cultivating here. However, it seems that she has already been in closed-door seclusion for three hundred years. Her cultivation base wasn't weak at all. I wonder what level her cultivation base has reached after so many years." Lin Tian who stood behind Qin Wentian spoke.
"Is that so?"
Honestly speaking, even as a father, he didn't know. Thinking back to the past, his heart was filled with regret. He didn't care about his children at all.
He instantly released his divine sense and communicated with Lin Xian`er who wasn't cultivating. "Xian`er."
If one were to forcefully barge in while cultivating, it would definitely cause one's cultivation to go berserk. However, communicating with one's divine sense wouldn't cause any side effects.
In the Milky Way Hall, a female sat cross-legged in the center. She was clad in Daoist robes and her hair was unkempt. Her countenance was delicate and her features were pure. She was a peak-grade beauty.
However, the only thing that could be said about her was her ice-cold countenance. Coupled with her countenance, she caused others to tremble in fear.
"Who is disturbing this seat's cultivation?"
Her originally tightly shut eyes abruptly opened as a bright light flashed within. The cold aura grew even denser as a heaven-shaking killing intent gushed out from her body.
"What's going on?"
Qin Wentian could feel the heaven-shaking killing intent. Lin Ray's expression froze as he cast a puzzled glance at Lin Tian who was beside him.
"I don't know. Xian`er's aura seems to have already broken through to the initial-phase of the Divine Monarch Realm!" After carefully sensing, Lin Tian was completely dumbfounded.
How long has it been? The cultivation base of a junior was already about to catch up to him who was from the older generation who accompanied her father in battle.
"Something's not right. This aura … Heavenly Force of Ice?"
Lin Ray didn't understand. The Heavenly Force of Ice was a cultivation art that Lin Ray found from the system. Those who cultivated this cultivation art would have to endure bone-chilling pain every day before they could succeed.
And it was precisely because of this that Lin Ray placed this cultivation art at the highest location in the library. Why would it appear on his daughter's body? Not only that, from the level of her cultivation, it seemed that she had already reached the fifth level.
Lin Ray truly couldn't understand. He remembered that the cultivation art he imparted to his daughter wasn't the Heavenly Force of Ice. But now …
This cultivation art might seem powerful, but it was truly powerful. However, it was because the cultivator had to endure bone-chilling pain every day. In Lin Ray's opinion, this cultivation art was simply too cruel. That was why Lin Ray sealed it away.
He would have never imagined that after not seeing his daughter for a short period of time, she would actually cultivate the cultivation art he sealed away.
Lin Ray who was at the side was also stunned. He didn't know about this as well. He had been out for a period of time and didn't return to the sect. Hence, he was completely unaware of this point.
"This lass, how did she …"
A helpless expression appeared on Lin Ray's face. He really wanted to know what this lass wanted to do exactly.
Within the Astral River Hall, Lin Xian`er had just awoken from her cultivation. But from her cold countenance, one could tell that she was enraged, extremely enraged. She was so enraged that she wanted to kill someone.
She was in the midst of cultivating and was at the most crucial moment. Who would have known that she would be disturbed?
More importantly, the greatest taboo of cultivation was to be disturbed by others. But now, there was actually someone who dared to disturb her.
Furrowing her brows, she opened her eyes and stared at the entrance of the Astral River Hall as killing intent gushed forth from her.
"No matter who you are, since you disturbed this seat's cultivation, you have to pay the price."
Standing up, she released her cultivation. The temperature in the surroundings was already below zero, but at the instant Lin Xian`er released her cultivation, the entire space seemed to be frozen solid.
"BOOM!"
The sealed doors abruptly opened as Lin Xian`er's silhouette abruptly appeared at the entrance. Her gaze swept through the surroundings and at the instant she saw Lin Ray and Qin Wentian, her killing intent was instantly retracted. Even her cultivation art was retracted to the extreme.
As for Lin Ray, he could feel the killing intent and coldness emanating from Xian`er. Lin Ray started, but at the instant when he saw her retracting her killing intent, his frozen countenance eased up by quite a bit.
From Lin Xian`er's earlier actions, it was clear that the Mystic Ice Heavenly Art had an effect on her.
"Fa … father?"
Lin Shan's reaction was extremely similar to when he first saw Lin Ray. Both of them spoke in a probing tone, as though Lin Ray's appearance was something inconceivable.
With regards to this, Lin Ray felt extremely guilty in his heart regarding the changes in Lin Xian`er. His stiff face squeezed out a smile as he nodded, "I'm back."
"Swish!"
As the sound of Lin Ray's voice faded, Lin Xian`er transformed into a beam of light and rushed towards Lin Ray. She stretched out her hands and hugged Lin Ray.
Tears flowed down from her eyes as she sobbed, "You're finally back. It's been so long since your daughter last saw you."
After speaking, her words became unclear, and at the end, her heart was filled with pain and agony.
At the side, Lin Tian retreated to the side when he saw this scene, not wanting to disturb the father-daughter pair. He silently stood there, not saying a word.
"Wuwuwu …"
The hoarse cries of pain and anguish entered Linley's ears. Each cry was like a sharp dagger stabbing into Linley's heart.
Since young, other than Lin Ray, this daughter of his was the most resolute. But now, she had become like this. Lin Ray understood that everything was his fault.
He stretched out his hands and hugged Xian`er, gently stroking her back and silky hair. Tears flowed from his eyes as he said, "Cry, cry, cry it out. Everything will be fine once you cry it all out."
Just like that, he quietly listened to Xian`er's cries. Lin Ray didn't stop her. He understood in his heart that after such a long time of grievances accumulated in her heart, it was a good thing for her to let it all out.
Time slowly flowed by, Lin Ray didn't know how much time had passed. He only knew that he was standing at the same place. The sun had already set and Xian`er's cries gradually stopped.
The entire Xuanzong Sect was bustling with activity because of Lin Ray's orders. And at this moment, Lin Shan also knew of Lin Ray's orders.
This order to him could be said to be a merciless blow. He didn't expect that his father would do such a thing.
He really wanted his mother to plead for leniency, but Ice by the side stopped him, telling him the pros and cons of this matter. Lin Shan was still considered to be sensible. After hearing the pros and cons, he didn't say anything. In the end, he could only silently accept this fact.
In the Astral River Hall, Lin Ray sat on the steps in front of the hall. Lin Xian`er was lying on Lin Ray's lap. In addition, the golden rays of the western sun shone down on Lin Ray and Xian`er. This scene was extremely peaceful.
Looking at his daughter lying on his lap, Lin Ray gently said, "Xian`er, father remembered that when I left, I didn't give you this Mystic Ice Heavenly Force. But why did your cultivation technique change after I returned? And looking at your Mystic Ice Heavenly Force, it seems that you have already cultivated to the fifth level."
She stood up and looked at her father with a resolute expression. "Father, you weren't around and I couldn't see you. But every time you encountered danger, your daughter couldn't help. Brother Yun was there to take care of the matters of the sect. I felt that I was too useless, so I wanted to cultivate faster."
"That's right. Back then when I was in the library, I saw the Mystic Ice Heavenly Force sealed by you. So … I …"
"So you broke the seal and after reading the introduction of the Mystic Ice Heavenly Force, you resolutely decided to cultivate this cultivation technique, right?" Lin Ray finished Lin Xian`er's sentence.
"Yes."
With regards to this, Lin Xian`er didn't hide it and boldly admitted it.
"You …"
At this moment, Lin Ray panicked. He didn't expect that the reason why Lin Xian`er cultivated this cultivation technique was because of him, her father.
When he thought of the pain she would have to endure every day after cultivating the Mystic Ice Heavenly Force, Lin Ray couldn't bear for her to continue cultivating.
"Xian`er, why don't we do this? If you want to cultivate, father will give you an even stronger and better cultivation technique."
"Give up on cultivating this cultivation technique. This cultivation technique requires you to endure too much pain every day. Father can't bear for you to suffer every day. Do you understand?"
"All these years, the reason why father worked so hard in cultivation was because I didn't want you to suffer, I didn't want you to be burdened, I wanted to protect you all. Father …"
"Father."
Lin Xian`er suddenly spoke. Lin Ray's voice rang out, his eyes were filled with bewilderment as he turned to Lin Xian`er.
"Daughter wishes to cultivate this cultivation technique."
A resolute expression flashed in Lin Xian`er's eyes. "For three hundred years, daughter had to endure the pain everyday. After all these years, daughter has already gotten used to such pain."
"Also, daughter has comprehended many things from this cultivation technique. Daughter wishes to continue cultivating, daughter …"
"Wish to cultivate."
Lin Ray, "…"
Lin Xian`er's words directly choked Lin Ray, causing him to have no way to continue speaking.
"Alright, father, let's not talk about this matter."
Lin Xian`er didn't want to linger on this matter for too long. A smile appeared on her face as she changed the topic. "Oh right, father, why did you come back this time? How long will you be staying?"
"Ai!"
He understood Xian`er's meaning and let out a long sigh. "This time around, I came back to arrange some things. In the future, I will bring you all to the Sacred World."
"What?"
"Sacred … Sacred World?"
"Father, could it be that you …"
Thinking back to the time when he returned and saw Xian`er's situation, Lin Ray was filled with regret. If he had returned more often and spent more time with his children, maybe everything would have been different.
Xiao Shan wouldn't have become a spoiled brat, and Xian`er wouldn't have cultivated the Dark Ice Heavenly Art. Everything was his fault.
"Enough, don't think about all these now. In the future, your world will only grow more and more vast. If you don't want Xian`er to suffer anymore, you better hurry up and complete the mission so that you can obtain the Xuanhuang Pellet."
