NOVPUBChapter 827: Chapter 445 Various Parties Shaken Chapter 827: Chapter 445 Various Parties Shaken Qianchuan Market.
The square outside the auction was teeming with people as it served as the hub of the entire market. Here cultivators mingled, bartered at stalls, or exchanged information—an excellent spot for such activities.
At that moment, a large gathering of cultivators buzzed with only one topic: the two major battles recently at the Lin Family.
In these past few days, the news of the Lin Family’s battles against two Golden Core cultivators from the Qingyun Sect had spread like a storm through the inner circles.
At the same time, the news of Huangyang Kingdom’s bold invasion into the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World began to circulate through all major markets.
Even in other mountain ranges within the Wei Kingdom, word was spreading far and wide.
Initially, upon learning of Huangyang Kingdom’s three sects unexpectedly attacking Wei territory, forces large and small inside Wei, including loose cultivators, were all panic-stricken.
...
After some time had passed, these people, be they Foundation Establishment Cultivators or Qi Refining Cultivators, were almost unanimously furious, vehemently condemning the three sects of Huangyang for their opportunism.
But with events already in motion, out of the three major forces invaded by Huangyang Kingdom, two had stormed through like a breaking wave.
In just over half a month, they had conquered several mountain ranges, slaying a great number of loose cultivators in the process.
What followed was more precarious mountain ranges on the brink of annihilation at any moment.
Fortunately, amid such dire news, the Lin Family emerged out of nowhere—four Golden Core Stage Cultivators lent their hands and not only repelled the Qingyun Sect but also consecutively slaughtered two Golden Core Cultivators.
Among these, there was Xu Zhi of the Mid Stage Golden Core and over two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Such a staggering number of casualties left everyone dumbstruck.
When this uplifting news arrived, it managed to dispel much of the gloom hanging over the cultivators of the Wei Kingdom.
At this time, every tavern, shop, and trading venue within Qianchuan Market began to talk about the Lin Family.
No one had imagined the Lin Family could hide their strength so profoundly, quietly amassing four Golden Core Cultivators.
To think that just decades ago, among the many Foundation Establishing Families within the Wei Kingdom, the Lin Family was nothing out of the ordinary, certainly not lacking in stronger clans.
Yet now, with four Golden Core Cultivators, their strength rivaled that of the Wei Kingdom’s Three Great Sects. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
In truth, it was inconceivable how in such a short span of time the Lin Family had acquired such formidable power.
As for the Qingyun Sect’s attack on Wei, their luck was exceptionally bad.
What they thought would be an easy victory over the Luoyun Mountain Range turned into a costly encounter against the unanticipated force of the Lin Family, resulting in the fall of two Golden Core Cultivators and the loss of more than two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
It was a classic case of a failed attempt to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it— an outcome beyond everyone’s expectation.
With the emergence of the Lin Family, while the current situation had worsened, the morale of Wei’s cultivators in repelling Huangyang Kingdom’s assault had indeed been bolstered.
At the very least, the multitude of once disheartened cultivators caught a glimmer of hope.
Under such circumstances, the Luoyun Pavilion was now bustling with activity as numerous cultivators came to purchase treasures and take the opportunity to pay a visit to the Lin Family Members, hoping to become acquainted and extend their own networks.
After all, the Lin Family had now transcended its former status to become the sixth Golden Elixir Force of the Wei Kingdom.
And in terms of overall family strength, they had far surpassed the other two Golden Core Families, the Li Family and the Chen Clan.
It could be predicted that if the Lin Family were to survive this calamity sweeping over the Wei Kingdom, they were destined to become a force all cultivators looked up to for hundreds of years to come.
In such a scenario, the current Lin Family had become the center of attention, not just a hot topic among cultivators but also a target for many seeking favor.
Inside the Lin Family Cave Mansion Courtyard, Lin Xingrong and a few Foundation Establishment Clan Members were seated together.
At this moment, every Lin Family member was buzzing with excitement. Apart from Lin Xingrong, who was aware of the Family’s strength, the rest were utterly shocked.
Even Lin Tianyue, sister to Lin Tianming, had no idea her brother had reached the Golden Core Stage, let alone the others who knew nothing at all.
Now that the Lin Family had completely surfaced, revealing four Golden Core Stage Combat Powers and annihilating nearly ninety percent of the invading force from the Qingyun Sect, the news was astonishing.
At that moment, Lin Tianyue pouted her lips, glancing at Lin Xingrong’s relatively calm demeanor before speaking resentfully, “Father, you must have known about Uncle Three and brother entering the Golden Core Stage long ago, right?”
Hearing this, Lin Xingrong nodded helplessly and said, “Indeed!”
“I knew very early on, and before this, less than ten people in the entire Lin Family were privy to the truth.”
“Don’t harbor any ill thoughts about this; after all, the Cultivation World is in chaos, and the Lin Family didn’t want to get involved prematurely in the big battle amongst Wei Kingdom’s Three Great Sects!”
“As for the invasion by several Great Sects from Huangyang Kingdom, nobody anticipated that, and the Lin Family’s strength was inadvertently revealed, a truly capricious fate!”
Hearing Lin Xingrong’s explanation, Lin Tianyue and the others who were left in the dark understood that under the previous circumstances, the Lin Family indeed had their reasons.
Had it not been for the Qingyun Sect’s meddling and sudden attack on the Luoyun Mountain Range, the Lin Family would not have revealed their strength so hastily.
