Up in the sky, Lin Xuan's gray skin looked like a huge silver snake under the moonlight's power.
In the town, thousands of Lin Family members witnessed this scene.
The mortals peeping from every corner of Green Maple Town also saw this scene. Their expressions were extremely shocked.
"Ding! Congratulations to host for helping the Lin Family survive a life-and-death crisis. Reward: 100 years of Qi Refinement cultivation!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host for deepening your bond with the Lin Family and unlocking the family's providence."
"Ding! Congratulations to host for deepening your bond with the Lin Family and unlocking an elementary Pond of Mortality."
The system's voice rang in Lin Xuan's ears continuously. Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with surprise, then he understood completely.
It seemed like the binding of the system was not a joke. Any form of help from the Lin Family would benefit him.
Lin Xuan swayed his body and returned to the sky above the Lin Family. He looked down at the Lin Family members coldly.
"Lin Xiuqi, Lin Shanhai, and Lin Jinshan greet Uncle Ancestor!"
Below, the three brothers of the Lin Family took the lead and bowed respectfully to Lin Xuan.
The Lin Family members reacted and hurriedly followed suit. "Greetings, Uncle Ancestor!"
The Lin Family cultivators were still fine, but the thousands of Lin Family members at the side knelt down to Lin Xuan as if they were worshipping a god.
Lin Xuan's holy appearance, which was enshrouded in the power of moonlight, was indeed somewhat similar.
Lin Xuan looked at the Lin Family members and nodded. Then, he looked at the middle-aged patriarch, Lin Xiuqi, and sent a message with his divine consciousness.
"I need three days to break through to Foundation Establishment. By then, the Lin Family's crisis will be resolved."
Lin Xiuqi heard this and looked up at his Uncle Ancestor in shock. Breaking through to Foundation Establishment only required three days?!
Although he felt that it was unbelievable, tonight's events were already unbelievable, not to mention that Lin Xuan was a spirit beast.
Lin Xiuqi quickly chose to believe his Uncle Ancestor and said decisively,
"Uncle Ancestor, don't worry. I'll immediately send the Lin Family members to seal off the entire Green Maple Town. Within three days, not a single living being will leave."
"As long as we don't have any concrete news, the Zhang Family will most likely think that Butler Zhang is taking over our Lin Family's assets.
The Zhang family only had one Foundation Establishment Grandmaster, who had to stay in Renhuai County and wouldn't leave easily.
Even though they might be suspicious, it shouldn't be a problem to stall them for three days. "
Lin Xuan nodded and agreed with Lin Xiuqi's arrangement.
"That would be for the best!"
With that, Lin Xuan turned around, his body transforming into a streak of silver light as he headed towards the back mountain of the Lin Clan.
In Lin Xiuqi's mind, he suddenly thought of Lin Xuan's business:
"This time, if I succeed in establishing my foundation, I guarantee that your Lin family will be promoted to a second-grade force within half a month."
Looking at Lin Xuan's departing figure, Lin Xiuqi was completely stunned.
A second-grade force?!
A first-grade force had three ninth level Qi Refinement Stage cultivators and occupied an entire town.
To become a second-grade organization, one needed to have a Foundation Establishment cultivator and occupy an entire county. This was what the entire Lin Clan had been pursuing for a hundred years.
Now, Uncle Zu had said that after he succeeded in building his foundation, he would help the Zhang Clan advance successfully in half a month.
One had to know that the human race had extremely strict requirements for a force's rank. The requirement for a Foundation Establishment cultivator was that firstly, they had to be of the human race and secondly, they had to be from the same force.
Lin Xuan's words implied that within half a month, he would help one member of the Lin Clan break through to the Foundation Establishment realm and occupy an entire county.
How could he not be stunned?!
"Big Brother, what did Uncle Zu say?"
Lin Shanhai looked at his big brother's dazed expression and couldn't help but ask curiously.
One had to know that for as long as he could remember, his big brother had always been mature and steady. He had an attitude of not being alarmed even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
Looking at him now, it was obvious that he had been greatly shocked.
At the side, Lin Jinshan also looked over curiously, but not at his big brother, but at Uncle Zu.
The appearance of Uncle and Uncle tonight should be the most curious thing.
Lin Xiuqi came back to his senses when he heard about the business and shook his head at his two younger brothers.
This matter was too big, and the fewer people who knew, the better. Even if it was his own brother, Uncle Zu, or Uncle Zu, he wasn't going to tell them before he broke through.
"It's okay, you will know in three days."
"Pass down my order, everyone in the Lin Clan is to move out and seal off the entire Green Maple Town. Within three days, no living creature is allowed to step out of Green Maple Town."
After Lin Xiuqi finished speaking, in order to increase the importance of his order, he added another sentence.
"This is also Uncle Zu's order!"
Hearing this, everyone in the Lin Clan was slightly surprised. Although they didn't understand why, they made up their minds to carry out the order perfectly.
"Yes, Uncle Zu, Master's order!"
All around, everyone in the Lin Clan bowed their heads and responded in unison.
Then, groups of Lin Clan members instantly put on their armor and weapons and headed toward the periphery of Green Maple Town.
Several cultivators of the Lin Clan also used the Imperial Wind Technique to cover the entire Green Maple Town from the north, south, east, and west. From the sky, they didn't miss a single fish.
In the next three days, the cultivators of the Lin Clan would take turns to do this without any gaps.
Inside the Lin Clan, Lin Xiuqi looked at everyone's reaction and smiled bitterly. He knew that after tonight, Uncle Zu's status would probably quietly climb above his.
However, as long as the Lin Clan could flourish, Lin Xiuqi didn't have much resistance to this.
…
In the spiritual pool at the back of the Lin Clan's mountain, Lin Xuan smiled slightly as he sensed the movements of the Lin Clan below. Although he didn't know if his snake head showed it, the emotional changes in his heart were indeed so.
