640 Dazzling Great Yan

Great Yan Province, Lin City.

As the hometown of the Lin Clan, Lin City was always fairly crowded, and itssize also placed it amongst the top cities in the empire. From a distance away,it looked impressive and majestic.

At the center of Lin City, the clan meeting hall, which was usually reservedfor special occasions, was currently filled with a massive crowd. All kinds ofnoises gathered together, the resulting buzzing noise making one feel as if onewas in a beehive.

All the Lin Clan elders were present at the middle of the meeting hall, and atthis very moment, all of their attention was directed towards the chief’s seat.A man was seated at that spot. An absent-minded look currently filled hisusually fearsome face.

“Clan Leader.”

As the most senior elder in the clan, Lin Mu could not help but cough gentlyas he watched Lin Fan’s expression. Half an hour ago, Lin Fan had issued thehighest command in the clan and summoned all the elders back to theirheadquarters. One should know that this command had only ever been issued twiceever since the founding of the Lin Clan.

Furthermore, both times concerned the survival of the Lin Clan, and this timewas likely no exception.

When their thoughts reached this point, the elders’ expressions faintlychanged. Had something monumental happened?

Lin Mu’s soft cough awoke the dazed Lin Fan. His eyes slowly swept across thehall, as the noise instantly died down.

“Haha.”

Soon after Lin Fan’s eyes swept across the hall, he suddenly started laughingmysteriously. As he lifted his head, his laughter grew louder and louder untileven tears started trickling out of his eyes.

Every elder and senior member in the hall was petrified till their facesturned pale. Just what kind of huge incident had occurred? To actually shockthe clan leader to such an extent?

At one side of the hall, Lin Ke-er, who was wearing a white dress, turned palewhen she saw Lin Fan’s actions. Her jade-like hands involuntarily grippedtightly onto her father’s arm.

“Clan Leader, is this because of some nefarious plot by the Wang Clan? Restassured Clan Leader, regardless of their tactics, our Lin Clan is not so easilybullied!” Lin Mu spoke out in a low voice.

“If the Wang Clan dares to declare war on us, our Lin Clan will battle themtill the death!” Another elder sternly shouted.

“Right!”

In the meeting hall, the crowds were angered until the atmosphere turnedboiling hot.

Lin Fan’s laughter gradually subsided. He wiped his face and promptly wavedhis hands, before he spoke in a somewhat coarsely voice, “Elders, you do notworry. In the future, the Wang Clan will no longer dare to display even thetiniest bit of disrespect to our Lin Clan…”

“Huh?”

The elders who were originally planning to fight to the death were instantlystunned. All of them were confused as they turned toward Lin Fan.

“The Hundred Empire War is over…” Lin Fan softly said.

“Hundred Empire War?”

All the elders were once again shocked. Promptly, they recovered their sensesas joy filled their faces, “Was someone from our Lin Clan selected by a supersect?”

Lin Fan slowly nodded his head.

Crash!

The atmosphere in the meeting hall instantly erupted while exuberant cheerspoured forth and swamped every corner of the hall.

“It must be Lin Langtian! I’m afraid he is the only one who can do so in ourLin Clan!”

“That may not be the case. Lin Dong is not weak and even Lin Langtian can’thandle him.”

“I think that Lin Langtian has a better chance. After all, his talents havebeen acknowledged by everyone here…”

“Yes. He is indeed the most outstanding talent in our Lin Clan. Heh, thatbranch family kid merely got lucky…”

“Once news of this gets out, they will probably lose their final backing…”

In the corner of the hall, Lin Ke-er gently bit her red lips and secretlysighed in her heart when she saw the exploding atmosphere in the hall. Did LinDong lose to Lin Langtian in the end?

“He has joined one of the eight great super sects in Eastern Xuan Region, theDao Sect.” Lin Fan’s mumbling voice slowly spread, suppressing the din in thehall.

“One of the eight great super sects, the Dao Sect?” Everyone’s eyes instantlywidened. Such an existence was simply beyond their imagination.

“In this Hundred Empire War, he surpassed the talents from the various empiresand took the champion spot.”

The large hall turned completely silent and everyone felt a little breathless.The champion of the Hundred Empire War? Ever since the founding of Great YanEmpire, no one had ever accomplished such a feat right? To think that someonefrom their Lin Clan had actually done it?

Lin Fan lifted his head. A trace of blood in his eyes as he stared at everyonepresent, his soft voice still trembling as he announced, “It’s Lin Dong.”

Crack! Several chairs instantly exploded in the meeting hall as several peoplefell on their butts to the ground. However, no one took notice of them as theystared in disbelief at Lin Fan.

The person who had been selected by one of the eight great super sects, theDao Sect, the one who surpassed the geniuses of the various empires and toweredover the rest. Lin Dong?!

The branch family member from Yan City, Lin Dong?!

Lin Ke-er’s jade-like hand was covered her red lips in surprise. The shock inher heart almost made her faint…

She never imagined that the one to create such miracles would actually be LinDong!

Lin Ke-er was dazed as she reminisced about the incident that had occurred inthe old tomb outside Yan City. The scrawny young man covered in bloody wounds,who stubbornly continued to struggle under Lin Langtian’s pressure.

In a few year, the injured young wolf had undergone a metamorphosis and wasnow an eagle that soared through the skies…

“Clan Leader, is this true?” Lin Mu opened his mouth and spoke, beforerealizing that his voice was a little coarse. He had placed Lin Dong in ratherhigh regards. However, even he had never expected that Lin Dong could actuallyaccomplish such a feat in the Hundred Empire War. A place where numerousgeniuses from everywhere gathered together.

Lin Fan slowly nodded his head. Promptly, he placed both of his palms on atable to push himself up. As he stared at the crowd, his solemn voice filledwith an authoritative tone slowly sounded out.

“Immediately inform the Yan City branch family that Lin Zhentian is appointedas the supreme elder of Lin Clan. Lin Xiao, Lin Ken, Lin Mang and the rest willall be invited into become elders. If anyone dares to badmouth the Yan Citybranch family in future…”

Lin Fan’s suddenly stopped, as a shocking killing intent surged onto his face.

“Will be immediately banished from the clan! Regardless of his status!”

The entire hall turned silent immediately. As everyone gazed at Lin Fan’ssolemn expression, all of elders who were prejudiced against the Yan Citybranch family immediately shut their mouths. All of them clearly knew that theYan City branch family would become the most powerful and untouchable existencein the entire Lin Clan, and maybe even the entire Great Yan Empire!

All of this was because… Lin Dong came from the Yan City branch family!

The Yan City branch family of the Lin Clan had produced a Hundred Empire Warchampion!

This news quickly swept across the entire empire like a hurricane. Every partof the empire was completely stunned by this news.

Any faction who knew a little about the Hundred Empire War was completelyshocked by this news. It was shocking beyond imagination.

None of them could imagine how a branch family kid from a low rank empire wasable to accomplish such a feat. A feat that not even the geniuses from thevarious super empires could pull off. However, reality had been laid bare infront of them and all they could do was bitterly grit their teeth and curse ina slightly envious tone.

“That monster…”

Yan City.

This city was now clearly the most happening place in the entire Great YanEmpire. For several days, their Lin Family had been completely flooded byvarious congratulatory messages. Every faction, even those with whom they werenot acquainted with, showed up to congratulate them. This caused a massiveheadache for the Lin Family.

In the mountain situated behind the Lin Family, Lin Xiao squatted in front ofa bamboo house within a bamboo forest. There were several wooden poles nearby.This was the place where Lin Dong had trained at back then.

Lin Xiao’s rough and large hands caressed the wooden stakes that were filledwith cracks, as if he could still see the scrawny figure that used to trainhere back then.

“You have been here for one entire day. Aren’t you tired?” Footsteps soundedout behind Lin Xiao, before a large coat was gently placed over the latter’sback.

“How are father and the rest?” Lin Xiao turned around and looked at Liu Yan,before he asked with a smile.

“Ever since father heard the news, he has yet to close his mouth.” Liu Yangently smiled and replied.

“Dong-er is truly outstanding. Even more outstanding than his old man…” LinXiao sighed. However, the pride and contentment on his face could not beconcealed.

“Dong-er must have suffered tremendously during the Hundred Empire War.” LiuYan was somewhat upset as she spoke. She was not like Lin Xiao and the rest,who only saw Lin Dong’s accomplishments. As his mother, she was clearly awarethat based on Lin Dong’s stubborn character, he must have suffered tremendouslyin that place.

“He is a man. His shoulders are meant to carry heavy burdens. Dong-er istremendously talented and the small Great Yan Empire is not enough to containhim. As his father, I am really proud to have a son like him. Haha.” Lin Xiaolaughed heartily.

“It is all because of you. Not only is Dong-er like this, even that lassQingtan is the same. A girl should stay at home, how dare she secretly run off!”

As if she had remembered something, Liu Yan’s eyes were red as she spokeangrily, “If something happens to Qingtan, I want to see if you can live withyourself for the rest of your life!”

“Haha, that lass can’t let go of Dong-er and she wants to chase after him.There is no helping it. Furthermore, the elder following her is extremelypowerful and must have an extraordinary background. With her protection,Qingtan should be fine.” Lin Xiao laughed as he said.

“As for the argument that you had with that lass, after her brother knows, shewill have to face the consequences. Haha.”

Liu Yan softly sighed. There was no point in discussion such matters at thistime. As she recalled how that normally obedient lass actually argued with herover this matter, she felt suffocated in her heart.

“Don’t worry, the younger generation will do alright on their own.”

Lin Xiao smiled as he hugged Liu Yan. Promptly, he lifted his head and staredat the distant sky before muttering to himself, “Dong-er, since you want toexplore, go out and explore the world. A man should do so. However, it doesn’tmatter how famous you become, if you are tired, you can always return home.Father may not be as accomplished as you, but I will make sure that you willnever suffer when I am around.”
