Chapter 131: I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person!

Bang, bang...

A knocking sound came from outside the outhouse, accompanied by Lin Yan's slightly impatient voice: "Ancestor, are you two not finished yet?"

Lin Bufan's heart tightened, and he looked at Lin Potian, his gaze conveying what he couldn't say, asking what they should do!

"Almost there, wait a moment longer." Lin Potian spoke indifferently, though he had no idea what to do either; to be precise, all ideas were futile in the face of absolute suppression by strength!

This descendant, Lin Yan, was not only bold enough to want to kill him, but more importantly, he actually had the strength to do so!

Who knows how many good things that God of Gods gave him, making his guts grow as long as his trousers, to actually harbor such malicious intent!

Just then, the long-silent Tongtian Tower finally emitted a slight movement, and a long-lost voice resonated in Lin Potian's heart: "Young Master, I, the Holy Emperor, have returned! I have already resolved the anomaly on the eighth floor, and I have also pacified that God of Slaughter; she will not cause any more trouble!"

Lin Potian was instantly excited; the Holy Emperor returning at this moment was a massive stroke of good luck!

Although the Holy Emperor seemed very unreliable, Lin Potian had never doubted his strength; it was absolutely "to hell with whoever," whoever came didn't matter, it was all superfluous!

As for that God of Slaughter on the eighth floor, Lin Potian had caught a fleeting glimpse of her during the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal Emperor Ruins; she was a peerless female Immortal Emperor, it was just that her temper was indeed a bit too violent...

At this moment, Lin Potian was in no mood to ask the Holy Emperor why the God of Slaughter on the eighth floor had caused an anomaly, and directly transmitted his voice: "The person standing outside the outhouse, how much certainty do you have in taking him down?"

Hearing this, the Holy Emperor looked over through the Tongtian Tower and immediately replied: "A completely ordinary Quasi-Title God, only equivalent to an Extreme Realm Immortal Venerable, but even a notch weaker than that guy named Ji Lushen from last time. If I don't beat the crap out of him, it would be a miracle he's still clean!"

"Wait, Young Master, why does this person still have your bloodline on him?"

The Holy Emperor was stunned; was the Young Master playing with him?

Was he, the Holy Emperor, some kind of lowly person, to be toyed with like this?

Oh heavens, he had actually just said such things; this was the Young Master's descendant!

"Uh, Young Master, I didn't mean it like that, don't take it to heart!" The Holy Emperor instantly fell silent, keeping his mouth tightly shut.

As soon as the words fell, Lin Potian's previously anxious expression turned from overcast to clear, and he couldn't help but laugh: "No, as long as it is that meaning, it's fine!"

"???" The Holy Emperor did not speak, only blindly sending question marks.

"Ancestor, if you don't come out yet, I'm coming in!"

Outside the door, Lin Yan had grown impatient and was just preparing to break in when...

Lin Potian opened the door and walked out, roaring in extreme displeasure: "Lin Yan, what are you rushing for? What? Did you crap your pants?"

"Ancestor, isn't the Eastern Profound Domain Heavenly Pride Grand Competition imminent, starting tomorrow? I was afraid you didn't understand the ropes, so I wanted to fill you in on some common knowledge!"

Hearing this, Lin Yan was angry for a moment, then restrained his emotions and spoke with earnest advice.

But in his heart, there was endless rage. Lin Potian?

A tiny ant whose Original Force had only just reached Divine Lord—did he have the qualifications to be the Lin Family ancestor?

He absolutely did not!

Turning his head, Lin Yan looked softly at Lin Bufan and said gently: "Bufan, you go to the side room to rest first; the Ancestor and I have important matters to discuss."

Hearing this, Lin Bufan stood rooted to the spot, refusing to leave. Because the Holy Emperor and Lin Potian had been communicating via voice transmission, he did not know the Holy Emperor had returned, and at this moment, he was extremely worried that the ancestor, Lin Potian, would meet a tragic end!

Lin Potian lifted his eyelids slightly, glanced at Lin Yan, and chuckled: "Bufan, go. Don't tell me you're worried your great-grandfather would be disrespectful to the Ancestor?"

Lin Yan's tiger-like body shook, and he covered it up with a smirk: "Ancestor, you really know how to joke!"

Seeing Lin Bufan still not leaving, Lin Potian glared and barked, "Get lost!"

Boom!

Accompanied by the Word Manifestation using Original Force, Lin Bufan was instantly blown away!

Seeing this, Lin Yan hurriedly cast a ray of light to wrap around Lin Bufan, letting him land steadily in the distance, then turned his head and said with slight anger: "Ancestor, you don't know your own strength?"

Hearing this, Lin Potian felt a trace of something strange. He had originally thought this Lin Yan would not consider family affection at all, but when facing Lin Bufan, Lin Yan's eyes were different; Lin Potian saw care and gentleness in them.

From this, it was not hard to guess that the reason Lin Yan wanted to send Lin Bufan away was that he did not want to take his life.

But when looking at him, it was coldness, and even... resentment!

"Heh, don't know my own strength? What is this tone of yours? I am your ancestor!" Lin Potian was expressionless, his voice suddenly sharpening!

"Aren't you going to give me something? Lead the way, and after you give it, get lost!"

At this point, Lin Potian did not want to save any face for this Lin Yan. These words were also a warning; if Lin Yan restrained his killing intent and did not commit an act of rebellion, Lin Potian would treat it as if nothing had happened. If not, then he could not be blamed for cleaning up the family!

"Fine, I will lead the way." Lin Yan's expression turned ugly, gloomy enough to drip water.

Soon, Lin Yan led Lin Potian to a great hall and then said: "Ancestor, wait here, I will go get the supreme treasure."

After speaking, tap, tap, tap...

Lin Yan arrived inside a secret chamber. The candlelight flickered, and the dim light cast upon the mottled stone walls, reflecting eerie patterns. A stifling atmosphere permeated the air, making one feel a chill.

In the center of the secret chamber sat a stone table covered with a thin layer of dust, clearly untouched for a long time.

Walking to the stone table, Lin Yan slowly lifted a stone slab, revealing a small jade box embedded with complex Runes underneath. The jade box emitted a faint fluorescence, appearing particularly eye-catching in the dimness.

Lin Yan lifted the box with an expression of reluctance and muttered: "Great-grandfather, this is the Cangyuan Ring you gifted me thousands of years ago. Today, I will use it as bait! Heh, didn't you say you wanted to select the strongest, most ruthless Lin Family member to cultivate? I, Lin Yan, will use my strength to tell you who is the strongest person in the Lin Family! The position of Divine Son is mine for the taking!"

"Today, this act of killing my ancestor will be the pledge of allegiance I offer you!"

Having said that, Lin Yan took out a dark green jade bottle, opened the jade box, and dripped it in...

Tap, tap, tap!

Lin Yan walked out.

"Ancestor, this is the supreme treasure—the Cangyuan Ring. It contains a breath of Mysterious Yellow Qi and can swallow the heavens, earth, sun, moon, and stars! It is the life-bound treasure of the long-vanished Yuanhuan zhi Shen. Great-grandfather gifting it to you will surely help you advance triumphantly!"

Holding the jade box from earlier, Lin Yan knelt on one knee with a pious expression, waiting for Lin Potian to take the Cangyuan Ring.

He also conveniently shifted the blame onto the God of Gods.

If he knew nothing, Lin Potian might have truly picked up the Cangyuan Ring out of curiosity to examine it, but now, Lin Potian would not take it at all!

And this Lin Yan did not know that Lin Potian was actually one body with two souls; inside his body lived a Yuan beast named—Yuanhuan zhi Shen!

Furthermore, after the last strand of the True Spirit of Yuan An Zhi Shen entered Lin Potian's body, the previously restless Yuan Huan suddenly became obedient, constantly radiating goodwill toward Lin Potian.

When this Cangyuan Ring appeared, Yuanhuan zhi Shen even transmitted a voice intermittently!

"Cang, the Cangyuan Ring has a strange poison on it. I can neutralize it. Give, give me control of the body, I will help you!"

"In the past, I, I had no choice, but now, I want to be a good person, give, give me a chance!"
