Chapter 130: The Dagger is Revealed!

~8 min read 1,537 words

Seeing Lin Potian lost in thought, Lin Yan frowned and said, "Ancestor, what are you thinking about?"

As the voice rang out, Lin Potian came back to his senses and shook his head faintly: "Nothing."

Lin Potian said nothing more; he no longer knew who he should trust and who he should not.

The words of Yuan An Zhi Shen had set his mind racing, and even if that God of Gods were truly his own cheap father, possessing combat power comparable to an Immortal Emperor, he had never once come to look for him...

Moreover, his own arrival in the Zhutian Wanjie was already full of suspicious points.

And Yuan An Zhi Shen had no need to slander someone in the final moments of his life, but who could say for sure? Lin Potian also did not know what was true and what was false.

"Ancestor, since you have now broken through your seclusion, come with me to the Domain Lord Mansion. For now, you must suffer the grievance of serving as a heavenly pride of my Domain Lord Mansion, compete in the Eastern Profound Domain Heavenly Pride Grand Competition, and place in the top ten. Only then will you have the opportunity to go to the Central Province Divine Temple and gain a chance to meet your grandfather." Lin Yan bowed slightly as he spoke, a trace of indifference appearing in his eyes, though it vanished in a flash.

Once these words were spoken, Di Tian, who was behind them, felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart and muttered to himself: "With such a tone and manner, if I had such a descendant, it would surely be a misfortune for the family!"

"Grandfather seems to have no respect for the Ancestor?" Lin Bufan also felt in his heart that this Grandfather Lin Yan did not seem to have much respect for the Ancestor; on the contrary, he was full of reverence for that grandfather he had never met!

"Hmm, lead the way."

Lin Potian responded faintly once more.

"Very well." Lin Yan did not waste words, stepping forward and walking toward the outside of the cave.

Lin Bufan, trailing behind, took a deep, composed look at this Grandfather who had been missing for thousands of years, and said aloud: "Ancestor, let's follow him first."

Without needing Lin Bufan to say it, Lin Potian, having obtained Di Tian's consent, retracted him into the Heaven-Reaching Token, then followed in Lin Yan's footsteps, feeling that there was no other path now; he could only take it one step at a time and see it through to the end.

Regardless of what plans that God of Gods might have, he was, after all, potentially his own biological father, so Lin Potian still intended to go and see him, but to acknowledge him... that was impossible.

If the Dao is different, then there is no common ground for discussion!

Swish... swish!

Under Lin Yan's guidance, Lin Potian and Lin Bufan soon arrived at the Eastern Profound Domain's Domain Lord Mansion.

A grand, suspended mansion appeared before the two of them. Calling it a mansion was hardly appropriate; its vast footprint, the majesty of its architecture, and the luxury of its decorations surpassed even the capitals of the secular world!

The mansion gates were forged from an unknown divine iron, the lintels carved with intricate Runes, and the plaza in front of the gate was vast and boundless, capable of holding hundreds of thousands of troops drilling simultaneously without appearing crowded.

Inside the mansion, pavilions and towers were arranged in a well-ordered manner, rockeries and flowing water complemented each other, exotic flowers and rare herbs vied for beauty, and there were even cranes spreading their wings and colorful butterflies dancing—completely out of place with the desolate scene of the Endless Divine Land outside the mansion!

"Hiss... Grandfather, your Domain Lord Mansion is truly grand, truly luxurious!" Lin Bufan's pupils shook; it wasn't that he was ignorant, but this Domain Lord Mansion was simply too exaggerated!

"Bufan, it seems you haven't eaten any fine grain in the Heavens either. Compared to the Divine Temple where my grandfather lives, this place is just a latrine!" Lin Yan replied faintly, looking down on everything.

"Lin Yan, it seems you only have eyes for that grandfather of yours?" Lin Potian said abruptly, and then, regardless of Lin Yan's expression, walked straight inside.

As the words fell, Lin Yan immediately gave a bitter smile: "Ancestor, what are you saying? You are simply shaming this junior!"

Although he said this, Lin Bufan, standing to the side, saw a flash of... killing intent in the eyes of this Grandfather Lin Yan.

His heart could not help but shudder, his breath nearly stalling; Grandfather actually wanted to kill the Ancestor!

This was simply rebellious and inverted the natural order!

And if Grandfather really wanted to make a move against the Ancestor, what should he himself do?

After thinking for only 0.25 seconds, Lin Bufan made his decision...

"Bufan, why are you trembling?" Lin Yan frowned as he looked at Lin Bufan, whose legs were slightly shaking behind him.

"Grandfather, I... I have an urgent need to urinate, I can't hold it in. Where is the latrine?" Lin Bufan felt a sudden panic in his heart and immediately had a flash of inspiration, telling a lie.

"It's over there. Look at how useless you are; you've already reached the Great Emperor realm, and you still can't control your bladder?" Lin Yan pointed impatiently in one direction, a look of disdain appearing in the depths of his eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, Grandfather!" Lin Bufan quickly entered the Domain Lord Mansion, and as he passed by Lin Potian, he even nearly tripped!

"Why are you so careless?" Lin Potian hurriedly bent down to pull him up, but he only saw Lin Bufan's lips moving silently...

"Ancestor, Grandfather has ill intentions and may be planning to make a move on you!"

From Lin Bufan's lip-reading, Lin Potian deciphered these words.

Tap, tap, tap...!

Immediately, Lin Bufan stood up and ran toward the latrine in a great hurry to complete the act. Ever since he saw the faint killing intent in Grandfather Lin Yan's eyes, Lin Bufan's heart had already turned cold, and he only hated that he lacked the strength to stop it all!

After reading this message, Lin Potian's expression remained as usual. In this absurd world, anything could happen, but he felt a slight sense of sorrow in his heart. Was this the order of that cheap father, the God of Gods, or was it Lin Yan acting on his own initiative?

Either way, the result was the same, and Lin Potian began to believe Yuan An Zhi Shen's words.

The reason was simple: outside the Domain Lord Mansion was total desolation, while inside was golden and magnificent, with surging Original Force—enough to catch a glimpse of the truth.

Just then, Lin Yan took a step forward, walked in front of Lin Potian, and whispered with a light laugh:

"Ancestor, my grandfather has a supreme treasure to give you, saying it will allow you to be invincible in the Heavenly Pride Grand Competition and take first place directly!"

"It's not very convenient here, Ancestor, please come with me."

"Wait, I also want to go to the latrine." Upon hearing this, Lin Potian hesitated slightly, calculating his odds of winning if Lin Yan were truly about to reveal his dagger.

The answer was: zero odds of winning!

Better to use the "urination escape" first...

Having said that, without giving Lin Yan a chance to hesitate, he walked directly toward the latrine where Lin Bufan had gone earlier.

"Truly troublesome!" Lin Yan narrowed his eyes, spat out a self-muttered remark, and stood in place waiting.

"Ancestor, why have you come too?" Seeing Lin Potian enter, Lin Bufan asked in surprise, then thought of something and lowered his voice: "Ancestor, why don't we run? Grandfather doesn't... look like a good person right now!"

"And he is a powerhouse equivalent to the Immortal Venerable realm; I'm afraid you can't deal with him right now, can you?"

Lin Potian nodded, "I truly cannot handle him, but where could we run to?"

"Right now, we have a blade held to our throats; extending the head is one cut, and retracting it is also one cut!"

His current predicament made Lin Potian's head ache. Before finding a way back to the Zhutian Wanjie or the Immortal Domain, even if they escaped, although this Endless Divine Land was vast, there was absolutely no place for him to stay!

Lin Bufan was extremely puzzled: "Why is Grandfather like this? What good does such rebellion do him? Does the grandfather, the God of Gods, know about this?"

After he finished speaking, Lin Potian smiled and shook his head repeatedly: "Knowing or not knowing makes no difference. As an existence of that realm, nothing can escape his eyes; he just doesn't want to care. Including now, as we talk in secret, perhaps he even knows."

"This... this!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan didn't know what to say, feeling horrified in his heart. Could it be that this grandfather... is the villain?
