Chapter 66: Vindicating Lin Yi, the Immortal King's Wanted Order!

The members of the Lin Family held their breath, all gazing toward Lin Potian.

Lin Jie and Lin Hai, members of the younger generation who had previously had friction with Lin Hao, asked in unison, puzzled: "Ancestor, Lin Yi betraying the clan is a nailed-down fact. Even if he trapped us in an Illusion Array in the Small World and kept us safe, the fact that he dug out Lin Hao's Supreme Bone is indisputable!"

"How can such a person be considered a hero of our Lin Family?"

As these words fell, the crowd began to whisper and discuss among themselves!

Lin Potian's eyes were deep; he looked into the distance, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then said:

"Because... the matter of digging out Hao's Supreme Bone was something I agreed to."

"What? Ancestor, you agreed to this?"

"Why?!"

The Lin Family elders were speechless, and the younger generation was also stunned!

Lin Hao was even more bewildered and at a loss, his heart filled with a mix of emotions as he looked at his ancestor with a complex expression.

Seeing this, Lin Bufan stepped forward, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "That day, the Great Emperor of the Wang Family, Wang Wutian, specifically named Lin Hao and Lin Yi to join the Wang Family. After I reported this to the Ancestor, the Ancestor concluded that Wang Wutian wanted to dig out the bones and gouge out the eyes to transplant them onto himself!"

"To avoid putting all our eggs in one basket, the Ancestor resorted to this desperate measure, letting Lin Yi dig out Lin Hao's Supreme Bone. For the bone and eyes to be gathered on one person, they must be removed by someone at the Great Saint cultivation level or higher to be effective! Facts have proven that the Ancestor's guess was correct. Lin Yi was not harmed in the Wang Family; instead, his cultivation improved exceptionally fast. Wang Wutian was using the power of the entire Wang Family to cultivate Lin Yi!"

"This was merely a plan to preserve him. Lin Yi did not betray the clan. Later, in the Small World, Lin Yi did not harm you, but chose to trap you to keep you safe—that alone is proof enough!"

After he finished speaking, the Lin Family members present were speechless, all appearing lost in thought. Before long, sounds of regret arose from all sides: "Indeed, we really wronged Brother Yi!"

"That day we insulted him to the extreme, yet he still brought us into the Illusion Array to keep us safe!"

"If only we had known, sigh...!"

The younger generation all slapped their heads, regretting that they had acted that way!

Lin Yi had originally been the number one genius of the Lin Family. At the time, his "betrayal" had dealt a significant blow to the clan, and everyone's feelings had shifted from extreme respect to extreme hatred!

It was human nature.

Lin Hao looked dazed. Pointing at his own nose, he looked at Lin Potian and asked with a trembling voice: "Ancestor, what about me? Why didn't you tell me back then? If I had known, how could I have hated Lin Yi, and how could I have... mistakenly killed him!!"

He almost roared the last sentence.

"Audacious Lin Hao, how dare you be disrespectful to the Ancestor!"

Lin Jie and Lin Hai shouted angrily, and together with several young geniuses of the Lin Family, they pinned Lin Hao down and kicked him hard in the back of the knees. Lin Hao knelt down on cue.

"Let me go! Ancestor, why didn't you tell me back then? Tell me!"

"Waaah, you... tell me!"

Lin Hao struggled continuously, and as he struggled, he began to cry.

"Let him go."

Lin Potian turned his head and whispered.

"Behave yourself. If you are disrespectful to the Ancestor again, it won't be this easy!"

Hearing this, the few let go of Lin Hao reluctantly, roared fiercely, and then cupped their hands and glared at Lin Hao.

Offending the Ancestor's majesty was completely unforgivable in the Lin Family. If the Ancestor hadn't spoken, Lin Jie, Lin Hai, and the other young geniuses would have truly wanted to teach Lin Hao a good lesson!

Step, step...

Lin Potian walked up to Lin Hao, squatted down, smoothed out his disheveled hair, and said calmly: "The Supreme Bone can be regenerated. I won't mention the fact that I will help you regenerate the Supreme Bone later. Here, let the Ancestor show you a scene."

Having said that, he raised his hand and waved, and a scene unfolded!

In the scene, Lin Yi was controlled by an unknown force and forced to swallow a bright-colored pill. Immediately, the veins all over his body bulged, he let out continuous beast-like roars, and his sanity visibly vanished, leaving him only a step away from becoming a puppet!

Then, he actually dug out the bone himself, using extreme pain to resist the medicinal power, with blood gushing out incessantly, just to barely maintain a shred of sanity!

"Hiss...! What kind of pill is that? It's so overbearing and vicious. The moment Brother Yi swallowed it, he almost lost his mind directly!"

The younger generation of the Lin Family gasped; just looking at the scene was shocking!

After identifying it, many sharp-eyed Lin Family elders had their pupils shrink, their hands trembling uncontrollably, and they said in a shaky voice:

"Soul-Confusing Pill, this is the Wang Family's Soul-Confusing Pill. After eating it, one becomes the most loyal puppet of their Wang Family. This is a pill capable of causing even a Quasi-Emperor to lose their mind! Yi actually resisted it with such extreme pain!"

"And this pill takes effect once every day, doesn't that mean..."

The elders could not continue; their hearts ached one after another!

The younger generation of the Lin Family all trembled, and many emotional ones even covered their faces and wept, fully understanding the difficult situation Lin Yi was in at the time!

Using his own strength to delay time alone and save the Lin Family from fire and water—if this isn't a hero, then who could be?!

Hearing this, Lin Hao's eyes became vacant. He had thought that enduring the pain of having his bone dug out was painful enough, but his brother had...

Had to endure it every day!

Just then, Lin Potian slapped Lin Hao on the head and said in a low voice: "Look closely at the small characters on it. As for why I didn't tell you, do you think your mental fortitude could withstand this Soul-Confusing Pill?! Could you have passed the interrogation and probing of that Great Emperor from the Wang Family!!"

"Do you know that if you couldn't pass, it would have been a catastrophe for the Lin Family!!"

Every word of Lin Potian struck the deepest part of Lin Hao's heart, leaving him speechless, constantly asking himself: could he have resisted it?

Even if he could have resisted it, if he had let something slip, and the Ancestor hadn't returned at that time, who in the Lin Family could have withstood the Wang Family's attack?

No one.

And after seeing the two small characters on the Supreme Bone—Hao, Yi...

"Brother, I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong!"

Lin Hao completely understood and awakened, his heart filled with endless regret!

At this moment, Ao Yin in the distance looked anxious and shouted loudly: "Godfather, stop the family meeting for now, come over and take a look, my old man is dying!"

Lin Potian looked over and saw Ao Wushuang's face was pale and his breathing weak. He stepped forward, placed his hand on Ao Wushuang's pulse, felt it for a moment, and then looked at Ao Yin, saying softly: "It's fine, he just lost too much blood and has fallen into a temporary coma."

Hearing this, Ao Yin let out a heavy sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been in his throat, calmed down quite a bit. The Dragon-man Clan had the most abundant essence blood; fainting was just fainting, as long as his old man didn't die!

However, Lin Potian did not think so. If it weren't for the father and son of the Ao family helping, the Lin Family would never have lasted until he returned. Therefore, no matter what, he owed this father and son a massive favor!

Thus, Lin Potian raised his hand and waved, sending a strand of the purest Immortal Qi, along with the Red Dust Immortal Cultivation Method, into Ao Wushuang's body!

In an instant, Immortal Light burst forth from Ao Wushuang's body, color returned to his pale face, and his eyes opened immediately. Feeling the surging power within his body and a profound technique, he immediately knelt on one knee, unable to contain his excitement, and said hurriedly:

"Many thanks, fellow Daoist Potian, for bestowing the technique and a strand of Immortal Qi. From now on, our Dragon-man Clan will surely follow your lead!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Yin's mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered softly, "Dad's polite rhetoric sounds really nice, as if there are still many people left in the Dragon-man Clan, and he's talking about following his lead..."

Ao Wushuang's face darkened, and he slapped Ao Yin on the head, whispering sharply, "Would it kill you not to undermine your father? Is it impossible for the two of us to follow his lead?"

Lin Potian laughed in spite of himself and waved his hand, saying, "There is no need for that. You helped the Lin Family, so you have already done the Lin Family a great favor!"

"I, Lin Potian, never let my friends suffer a loss!"

Having said that, he struck another strand of Immortal Qi toward Ao Yin!

Ao Yin instantly stiffened, his dragon body straight as a rod, yet his mouth was filled with wild joy; he finally understood how his usually crafty father could even bring himself to say something like following his lead!

A strand of Immortal Qi comparable to the late Immortal King stage, plus an Immortal Technique, is simply the greatest opportunity in these Heavens where the Immortal Path is severed!

Furthermore, this Immortal Qi was simply too heaven-defying, allowing Ao Yin to directly enter the First-Turn Great Emperor realm, with power still to spare!

'What should I do? I still want more... If I say it out loud, will Godfather give me more?'

Ao Yin scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed; he almost blurted it out, but after some thought, he decided against it.

At the same time, Lin Potian hooked his finger slightly, drawing out a strand of essence blood from the two dragons.

Now, with his soul at the Red Dust Immortal Mid-Stage fully unleashed, he could almost cover half of the Heavens. Since the father and son of the Ao family had helped so much, it was only right to help them look for any lost Dragon-men; perhaps when the Dragon-man Clan was wiped out, some dragons had managed to escape.

Before he could even find the lost Dragon-men, Lin Potian saw the overwhelming Immortal King Wanted Order.

It was jointly issued by the two Immortal Kings of the Ji Family, Ji Wuhui and Ji Wuzhong!

Lin Potian dismissed it with disdain and chuckled:

"You don't need to look for me; once I have recovered my state, I will come looking for you!"

"As for the Emperor Alliance, you must also be destroyed! Although you are very weak and dealing with you is a bit like bullying the small, what I want is to crush you!"

As for the Ji Family, Lin Potian never intended to let them go!

As for the Emperor Alliance, they must also be destroyed!

It would just be a matter of convenience.
