While sizing up Xu Zhi, they were also silently contemplating countermeasures.
Outside the formation, Xu Zhi didn’t seem to take the Lin family members seriously at all and was organizing a large number of Foundation Establishment Disciples to launch an attack against the Lin Family’s protective formation.
Soon, a series of loud bangs could be heard, and the light screen of the formation flickered with bursts of light as large amounts of energy flowed within it.
It appeared that the Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ attack power was mediocre; the energy inside the light screen was not being depleted too quickly.
Besides this, thankfully, since Xu Zhi had already made two moves earlier and did not continue.
Otherwise, if he attacked without holding back, with his Mid Stage Golden Core strength, the speed at which the stored energy in the formation would have been consumed would certainly have increased dramatically.
...
In that scenario, the Lin Family would not have much time to react.
And according to the current rate of energy consumption, whether the Lin Family fought back or not, they at least had a few days of buffer time.
They could also use these last few days to arrange for the clan members’ relocation.
Understanding this point, Lin Shihua also let out a long sigh of relief.
Following that, he looked at Lin Shikang and said, “Third Brother, what should we do next?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Shigong was also anxious to look at Lin Shikang, eager to hear Lin Shikang’s thoughts.
Not only were these two concerned, but even Ye Pinghai felt the same.
With several pairs of eyes staring at him, Lin Shikang forced himself to appear calm and then slowly said, “From the looks of it, a peaceful resolution is impossible now!”
“With so many family members in our clan, and with Shi Lu attempting to reach the Golden Core Stage, a full retreat is simply unrealistic!”
“Since that’s the case, we must prepare for both scenarios!”
“First, we need to delay for as long as possible. If Daoist Hu can consolidate his cultivation and emerge, or if Tian Ming returns in time, our combined strength might not be without the power to fight back!”
“Apart from this, Shi Gong, you immediately begin preparations for evacuation. If possible, take a small number of the younger generation with exceptional talent with you.”
With these words, Lin Shigong understood that the ‘exceptionally talented younger generation’ Lin Shikang was referring to was undoubtedly Lin Tianyun.
After all, the only ones in the Lin Family who could be considered top-tier geniuses were Lin Tianming and Lin Tianyun.
And since Lin Shigong was Lin Tianming’s grandfather and the guide on Lin Tianyun’s cultivation path, even being referred to as a mentor would not be an exaggeration.
He was the most suitable person to take charge of this matter.
As Lin Shikang made several arrangements in succession, he then looked at Lin Shihua as if to seek his opinion.
Seeing this, Lin Shihua nodded his head, knowing full well how difficult the Lin Family’s current situation was.
Under such circumstances, the arrangements made by Lin Shikang were undoubtedly for a desperate fight if the formation was breached, as well as plans for a retreat to preserve their lineage.
Such actions were a reluctant measure, but they were as watertight as possible under the circumstances.
Seeing that Lin Shihua had no objections, Lin Shikang then looked towards Ye Pinghai.
He was equally aware that whether the Lin Family could overcome this calamity depended a lot on Ye Pinghai’s attitude and resolve.
Otherwise, relying solely on himself, he would not have the slightest chance.
Understanding the importance of this, Lin Shikang looked at Ye Pinghai before bowing with folded hands in a very sincere manner, and he asked,
“Brother Ye, you’ve seen the situation now. I humbly beg on behalf of the more than a thousand Lin Family members, please lend our Lin Family a helping hand!”
Hearing these words, the silent Ye Pinghai responded with an indifferent smile, looking quite open-minded as if he didn’t take the current crisis to heart.
He then bowed to Lin Shikang and Lin Shigong, saying with a resolute gaze, “Brothers, the Lin Family has been kind to me, and having formed a bond of kinship, I naturally consider myself half a Lin Family member!”
“Now that the Lin Family faces this catastrophe, how could I leave alone without being seen as ungrateful and disloyal?”
“Though I, Ye Pinghai, am no great paragon of virtue, I am not one to fear death out of greed for life, nor will I betray my cultivation path just to save myself!”
With these words, Ye Pinghai’s expression was somber and solemn, his tone revealing a firm conviction.
“As long as Brother Lin stands, I will not take a step back either!”
“Good… good… good!”
Hearing Ye Pinghai’s words, Lin Shikang’s face lit up with joy, saying ‘good’ three times in succession.
He then bowed to Ye Pinghai and said, “With Brother Ye’s commitment, on behalf of the Lin Family’s thousand members, I thank Brother Ye!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shigong and another person also did the same, thanking Ye Pinghai excitedly, uttering,
“With Brother Ye’s strong support, we are not entirely without a chance of victory!”
“Yes, aside from Brother Ye, if Daoist Hu emerges in time, even with the enemy’s formidable strength, the Lin Family still has some hope!”
These words from Lin Shihua and the other family member finally eased the worries on the faces of the few people present.
Then, Lin Shikang discussed the tactics and details with the others present before sitting down on the ground with Ye Pinghai.
When Lin Shihua and the other family member left, Lin Shikang repeatedly emphasized a few points.
After that, under Lin Shihua’s orders, the Lin Family quickly mobilized.
Facing the clan members’ confusion, Lin Shihua did not withhold information and revealed the Lin Family’s predicament to the multitude of family members.
At first, when they learned that a Golden Core Cultivator along with more than two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators were attacking the Lin Family Clan Grounds, all family members turned pale, and they were incredibly shocked.
