Chapter 213: Ziyun City Has Disappeared
"I know what you are thinking."
Lin Chongxiao looked at Lin Feng; he had long since noticed Lin Feng's abnormality.
As soon as his words fell, the other four old men also looked over, a flash of helplessness in their eyes.
"Senior, then you must give me an answer." Lin Feng said coldly.
"Years ago, the Lin Clan suffered a great disaster and was almost wiped out. Why did you Seniors never appear to help?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the secret chamber suddenly became heavy.
Lin Chongxiao and the other four ancestors looked at each other, complex emotions flashing in their eyes.
After a moment of silence, someone said with dissatisfaction: "Kid, are you questioning your great-grandfathers?"
"The events of that year also had their hidden difficulties; we could not easily intervene."
"Besides, didn't the Lin Clan not get destroyed?"
These words naturally could not convince Lin Feng.
Seeing this, Lin Chongxiao spoke slowly: "This is a long story."
"Although we are ancestors, we cannot easily interfere in the affairs of the Lin Clan. If other families were to attack my Lin Clan, then we would naturally intervene, but the events of a hundred years ago..."
"You were afraid of the Imperial Family, right?" Lin Feng's gaze sank as he questioned coldly.
Those few Venerables were all stunned, unable to speak after being asked by Lin Feng.
"I was right after all; you were afraid of the Imperial Family." Lin Feng frowned, and a sense of disdain surged in his heart.
However, he continued: "Let me guess. Since my Lin Clan has you few ancestors sitting in town, then the other families also have such top-tier existences."
"Even the Imperial Family has such experts, and they are even more formidable. Am I right?"
Those few Venerables nodded. Lin Feng was indeed able to draw inferences.
For a family that has existed for a thousand years, who doesn't have a bit of foundation?
The Imperial Family rules the entire Daqian Dynasty; how could such an existence not have a foundation?
Not only do they have it, but they are even stronger than the Lin Clan!
If these ancestors of the Lin Clan were to intervene, then the Lin Clan would indeed have no need to exist.
Under Imperial power, the masses submit.
The slightest resistance leads to the extermination of the clan!
Rather than watching the clan be exterminated, it is better to cut off flesh to save one's life.
This was the thinking of Lin Chongxiao and the others.
Lin Chongxiao was even more satisfied with Lin Feng. He only heard him say in a low voice: "Haven't you already said it? This is the answer."
"Opposing the Imperial Family only leads to the extermination of the clan. The reason the Lin Clan has been able to continue to this day is by successfully picking sides each time, and by our forbearance!"
Hearing this, Lin Feng felt a mix of emotions in his heart.
He couldn't say Lin Chongxiao was wrong.
It was all for the Lin Clan. Under the power of the strong, their choices preserved the Lin Clan and left behind a spark.
"I cannot accept this." Lin Feng shook his head and said.
He laughed out loud, his gaze like fire.
"Your forbearance is just because your strength is insufficient. Now that I have become the Lin Clan Leader, I will no longer take that kind of crap!"
As his words fell, the four Venerables became anxious.
"You are truly worthy of being Lin Wentian's grandson!"
"You have the same stinky temper as your grandfather!"
"Your grandfather was strong enough, right? Ninth Layer of the Nirvana Realm, but what was the result? Wasn't he still forced to his death?"
The four Venerables said angrily.
Back then, Lin Wentian rose strongly, which made these few Venerables see hope. If Lin Wentian could lead the Lin Clan to overthrow the Imperial Family, then the Lin Clan wouldn't have to be so aggrieved.
It was just that the process was exciting, but the result was miserable.
The generation's Heaven's Chosen, Lin Wentian, ultimately ended up committing suicide to preserve the Lin Clan.
This was the consequence of opposing the Imperial Family.
Lin Feng said indifferently: "Seniors, although the Lin Clan has stabilized its footing, the Imperial Family is eyeing us covetously. I will absolutely not sit idly by and let others slaughter us."
"My Lin Clan will not only no longer fear the Imperial Family, but we will also wash away the shame of a hundred years ago." Lin Feng's tone was firm, his gaze flashing with unyielding light.
Lin Chongxiao and the others looked at each other and smiled, seemingly somewhat mocking.
"Your grandfather said these words back then." Lin Chongxiao said with his hands behind his back, indifferently.
"Back then, I supported him, but now, I don't want to support you."
"Kid, you don't even know the power of the Imperial Family."
"Even the Ninth Layer of the Nirvana Realm cannot overthrow the Imperial Family, yet you are indulging in wishful thinking."
Those few Venerables shook their heads one after another, all feeling disappointed.
They hoped Lin Feng would be a leader of restoration, but they didn't want to watch him go to his death.
"Take care of yourself. We will not appear again."
After speaking, Lin Chongxiao's figure flickered, turning into a golden light. The other four ancestors also dissipated, leaving behind only distant voices.
"Those with different Daos cannot work together."
"If you want to go to your death, don't drag the Lin Clan along."
Watching the five ancestors leave, Lin Feng stood in place, his expression calm as an ancient well.
No one was optimistic about him; after all, he was opposing the Imperial Family!
In this territory of Daqian, no one could do anything to the Imperial Family.
"Then you shall be the witnesses. I, Lin Feng, will definitely wash away the century-old shame!"
Lin Feng clenched his fists and swore secretly.
He pushed open the door and walked out of the secret chamber.
The back mountain was lush and green, with a clear sky and bright sun.
At the same time, the Lin Clan members were already waiting outside.
"The Clan Leader is out!"
Someone shouted, and everyone became excited. Lin Xuan walked up quickly, excitedly crowding to Lin Feng's side.
"Clan Leader, you've been in seclusion for three months; that's too long!"
"Have you become an invincible expert?"
"Then can you reward me with some pills? I have nothing to eat."
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, everyone had black lines on their foreheads.
Lin Yan and Lin Ya hurriedly pulled Lin Xuan away. This gluttonous girl was truly lawless. The group of people from the Lin Clan couldn't help but cover their faces and shake their heads. Lin Xuan had turned the Lin Clan's pill treasury upside down and wouldn't eat pills below Five-Star.
But Lin Kuohai was also willing to give her high-level pills.
"Clan Leader, have you broken through?" Supreme Elder Lin Kuohai walked over, his old eyes full of excitement.
Lin Feng nodded and said with a smile: "I've been in seclusion for three months? Has anything happened during this time?"
Hearing this, Lin Kuohai's old face sank slightly: "During the three months the Clan Leader was in seclusion, many things did indeed happen in the Daqian Dynasty, and they were related to the Ziyun City Lin Family."
"Speak." Lin Feng frowned.
Ziyun City was Lin Feng's foundation; he would absolutely not give it up.
Looking at Lin Kuohai's expression, could it be that Ziyun City was targeted by the Imperial Family?
"Ziyun City has disappeared." Lin Kuohai said in a low voice, not even letting Lin Yan and the others hear.
"What did you say?"
Lin Feng's pupils shrank suddenly. Ziyun City, such a large city, disappeared?
"According to reports from spies, the location of Ziyun City was directly razed to the ground, and not a trace can be seen anymore, as if..."
"It never existed."
Lin Kuohai found it hard to believe even as he said these words himself.
Such an outrageous thing was truly hard to accept. ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
