Chapter 226: The Final Step

The news of Lin Feng's plan to go to the Tianyuan Forbidden Area was like a stone thrown into a lake, stirring up ripples within the Lin Family.

The high-level members of the Lin Family were all opposed to it.

After all, they had just taken Kyoto, and in the future, they would have to face the rescue efforts of the eighteen provincial governors.

At such a time, if Lin Feng left, wouldn't that directly cause the Lin Family to lose its greatest combat power?

However, Lin Feng's mind was made up; naturally, it was impossible to change.

For this reason, the Lin Family and the Mu Family joined forces and began making frantic preparations.

Once they faced the various forces from the eighteen provinces, they would definitely fight to the end.

At the same time, they also preserved their respective bloodlines, ready to make a comeback at any moment.

In this battle, even if they lost, they had to leave behind a spark.

Under the joint efforts of the Lin Family and the Mu Family, the situation in Kyoto was quickly brought under control, and the heart of the Daqian Dynasty fell into their hands.

But what was puzzling was that the Imperial provincial governors of the eighteen provinces had not made any moves to rescue the Emperor.

This was quite surprising; they seemed indifferent to the changes in Kyoto, which undoubtedly gave the Lin Family and the Mu Family an opportunity to expand.

Already in crisis and surrounded by wolves, the Mu Family and the Lin Family used almost every means to survive.

In just half a month, they gradually infiltrated the entire Daqian Dynasty.

But precisely because of this, even more bizarre news spread.

Almost all the provincial governors had left their posts, and the eighteen provincial prefectures had become empty shells.

Only the local forces were in charge of everything in their respective provinces.

The various forces that had participated in the Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting almost all controlled their own territories, which instead seemed exceptionally strange.

But this was also fine; the Lin Family and the Mu Family were relieved of the pressure from the Imperial Family.

Behind this seemingly smooth sailing, there were likely unknown undercurrents hidden.

Lin Feng would not concern himself with these...

In the back mountain, the Lin Family's first-generation ancestor, Lin Chongxiao, appeared before Lin Feng as an illusory figure.

Amidst flickering golden light, his figure sat cross-legged, face-to-face with Lin Feng.

"Kid, you want to go to the Tianyuan Forbidden Area?"

Lin Chongxiao's voice was deep; during this period, even they, the foundations of the Lin Family, had been acting in secret to help the Lin Family control the Daqian Dynasty.

On the surface, the Lin Family's rebellion this time had already succeeded.

The entire Daqian Dynasty was under their control.

"Quit while you're ahead. The foundation of the Imperial Family is far beyond what you or I can imagine; why go and provoke unnecessary trouble?"

There was a hint of helplessness in Lin Chongxiao's voice.

The Imperial Family was all in the Tianyuan Forbidden Area; wasn't that just right?

The Imperial Family was hiding and lingering on, while the Lin Family controlled the Daqian Dynasty and could flourish for at least a thousand years. This thousand years was enough for the Lin Family to do many things.

After making full preparations in a thousand years, and then going to war with the Imperial Family, wasn't that a way to ensure victory?

"The grudges of a hundred years ago, I think they can be considered washed away this time. From now on, our Lin Family will graze the Daqian Dynasty and control billions of miles of territory; isn't that better than you chasing after some ethereal breath?"

Lin Chongxiao's voice was loud, carrying a tone of admonition.

But Lin Feng shook his head firmly.

In those deep eyes flickered an unquestionable color: "I am going to the Tianyuan Forbidden Area not only to wash away the shame of the Lin Family but also to rescue the clan members imprisoned in Ziyun City."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chongxiao's brows furrowed tightly: "The Tianyuan Forbidden Area is a place that even I dare not easily step into. If you go, the chances of survival are slim."

"Furthermore, how can you be sure that the people of Ziyun City are in the Tianyuan Forbidden Area?"

Lin Feng smiled slightly, his eyes full of determination: "Just intuition."

"You would gamble the future of my Lin Family for this intuition?" Lin Chongxiao was so angry he laughed.

Now the Crown Prince had been killed, and the Imperial Palace had been razed to the ground.

For Lin Feng to still want to do something foolish was truly incomprehensible.

"Senior, for various reasons, you chose to linger on in the back mountain, but I, Lin Feng, do not wish to become such a person."

"Rescuing the clan members and annihilating the Imperial Family is my mission."

"I will personally venture into this Tianyuan Forbidden Area, no matter the outcome."

After saying this, Lin Feng stood up abruptly, his entire body permeated with a vigorous aura.

The total cultivation of the Lin Family had been infused into him; over this past month, his cultivation had already broken through to the Nirvana Seventh Layer.

Every member of the Lin Family had their root bones and comprehension maxed out by him, and their cultivation speed was incredibly fast.

Coupled with the blessing of titles, the entire Lin Family was thriving.

All clan members had made breakthroughs in their cultivation, which was a good thing for Lin Feng.

"You..." Lin Chongxiao was touched by Lin Feng's words; he seemed to see the shadow of his younger self.

Back then, wasn't he also like this, unafraid of difficulties and forging ahead?

It was just that time had smoothed his edges and worn away his courage.

Even a hundred years ago, during that disaster that almost endangered the entire Lin Family, he had not shown his face.

"No need to say more, I do not wish to linger on."

Lin Feng waved his hand, stopping Lin Chongxiao from continuing.

At this moment, Lin Chongxiao sighed and no longer stopped Lin Feng: "Fine, go!"

"But remember, no matter what happens, protect yourself. You are the Clan Leader of the Lin Family now; with the Lin Family in your hands, I fear its future will be boundless!"

After Lin Chongxiao finished speaking, the golden light on his body began to dissipate.

In no time at all, he left directly.

Inside the secret chamber, there were four more sighs; clearly, those were the four Venerables of the Lin Family watching from the sidelines. They had already heard the conversation between Lin Chongxiao and Lin Feng and knew they could not stop Lin Feng.

"The mission... is not yet complete..."

Lin Feng took a deep breath and looked quietly at the system interface in front of him.

Killing Li Yingqian was only the first stage of the mission; rescuing the people of Ziyun City was the core of the mission.

Currently, Lin Feng was just one final step away...

Time flew like a white horse passing a crack; in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Lin Feng refused the request of Lin Xuan and others to accompany him and, accompanied by Supreme Elder Lin Kuohai, headed to the Tianyuan Forbidden Area.

A hundred miles outside Kyoto, Yangxin Lake.

The scenery was picturesque, and the sparkling lake surface reflected a few white clouds.

The water ripples moved, and the flying birds disappeared in the air instantly, only to exist on the water surface, as if swallowed by that mirror-like surface.

Before long, Lin Feng and Lin Kuohai arrived at this place.

Lin Kuohai pointed to a small island in the lake and said to Lin Feng: "Clan Leader, that is where the entrance to the Tianyuan Forbidden Area is located."

"There is an ancient formation on the island; as long as you activate it, you can enter the Tianyuan Forbidden Area."

Lin Feng looked in the direction Lin Kuohai pointed.

Sure enough, beneath the water surface, there was a small island covered in dense vegetation.

But this island was in the mirror reflection.

On the water surface, there was no trace of it at all.

"This... what is going on?"

Lin Feng looked puzzled.

"This is the first hurdle to enter the Tianyuan Forbidden Area, the Water Mirror Secret Path. To enter, you must first reflect yourself on the water mirror surface before you can enter the Lake Heart Island," Lin Kuohai explained. ===== CHAPTER 227 =====
