Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints-Chapter 763 - 484 - : Annihilating the Chu Family, Ice Spirit Root Genius (Two-in-One, Thanks for the 100 Reward from ’No More Mount Fuji’)_2
Lin Shiming then extracted the Chu Family Head, the solitary Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of the Chu Family besides those in the Purple Mansion.
The captive tried to beg for mercy, attempting to justify his actions by claiming he was compelled under duress by the Heavenly Demon Sect!
However, Lin Shiming forcefully searched his soul directly with the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda.
He needed no explanations; he only knew that the Lin Family's honor could not be tarnished!
And that a blood debt must be paid in blood!
The Chu Family cultivator screamed in agony, but in the next moment, his Divine Soul shattered, and he perished completely.
Lin Shiming's eyes burned with even more fury because, through the soul search, he learned that in the earlier Heavenly Demon Sect's formation, remnants of mortal members of the Lin Family were being sacrificed as part of the ritual.
Lin Shiming finally understood why Liu He True Person had bet he would definitely come—because at Fangmu Mountain, quite a few mortals were being detained, among whom was a young genius with an Ice Spirit Root!
A youth of only eighteen!
If Lin Shiming had not come, he could not begin to imagine the horrors that would have unfolded during the ceremony at the Purple Mansion.
Only, Liu He True Person had not anticipated that Lin Shiming had a Transmission Formation that could take him to Chu Country, and with the Demonic Race fanning the flames from behind, he had no choice but to return!
Only then had Lin Shiming escaped the trap.
Lin Shiming arrived at the peak of Fangmu Mountain and found the imprisoned mortals.
At that moment, the mortals of the Lin Family were all huddled in a water prison, incarcerated, with foul water rising to their knees. Their skin was beginning to wither, their eyelids drooping, listless and weak.
Upon seeing a person, they would instinctively shrink back.
They were only mortals, yet at that moment, they suffered the same agonies as those in the water prison.
If not for Lin Shiming's timely arrival, after enduring unspeakable torment, they would have transformed into demonic spirits within the Heavenly Demon Banner, condemned to eternally remain unsettled!
And this, simply because they bore the Lin name!
Lin Shiming took out a gourd, sucked up all the water inside it, and then used his Flying Sword to shatter the chains.
"It's our Lin Family's Immortal Master!"
"Our Lin Family's Immortal Master has returned!"
...
With a roar of joy, everyone began to leap for joy!
They were the last group of mortals left behind, like Lin Houyong, meant to stay and guard, not anticipating such a hasty evacuation.
The disappointment they felt then was as profound as their current joy.
Standing among the many mortals was a fifteen-year-old youth. With a calm gaze, he did not share in their jubilation but instead looked at Lin Shiming with a hint of disgust.
Lin Shiming had no time to speak with them; he waved his sleeve and, within his Cave Heaven, used a Formation to carve out a space for almost a thousand mortals to enter.
They all stepped into the Cave Heaven, witnessing Lin Shiyuan slaying members of the Chu Family one by one.
Lin Shiming continued to the Chu Family's treasure vault, collecting all the treasures within.
Of course, although it seemed he had done much, in reality, only sixty breaths of time had elapsed.
And this surpassed his expectations, yet he had no regrets!
He drew out the Flaming Swords, his gaze as tranquil as ever, seated in the void. The next moment, the swords slashed down, reducing the entire mountain range to rubble in an instant.
Fangmu Mountain was leveled, and the entire peak vanished without a trace!
From this moment on, nothing would hinder Lin Shiming's actions here.
Lin Shiming closed his eyes momentarily, then opened them, staring at the desolate plain for a full three seconds.
Assured that no cultivator would henceforth dare to insult Fangmu Mountain, he left for good.
Those three seconds of open eyes were also his final farewell to the past of Fangmu Mountain.
He vowed to remember this day, for he would return!
And when he did, he would undoubtedly be at the Golden Core stage, no longer fearing the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Then, Fangmu Mountain would rise again, reaching for the skies, shrouded in clouds and mist, fragrant with the scent of peaches.
Lin Shiming still departed atop his Flaming Sword. This time, without a system notification, he had to be extremely cautious, hurrying to the cliff as swiftly as possible.
Once at the cliff edge, the Great Turtle Hiding Spirit Formation remained intact.
Evidently, the Formation was still operating smoothly.
Yet to be certain, Lin Shiming carried the Flaming Sword to fetch Jiuxiao Scatter Man and Lin Shiyun as well.
Once the group landed atop the cliff, they wasted no time activating the Transmission Formation!
Lin Shiming left behind another Great Demon under the control of the Spirit Controlling Seal to destroy the Transmission Formation.
With a burst of light, they vanished, and Lin Shiming and his companions found themselves in the underground hall of Jiuyan Mountain.
"Seventh brother, where is Shiyuan?" Lin Shiyun asked anxiously, not seeing Lin Shiyuan.
```
"Shiyuan is fine; let's return to Shuangmu Island first," Lin Shiming said directly.
The remaining breakthroughs of the Cloud Flood Dragons and the counterattack of the Heavenly Demon Sect, he no longer wished to be involved.
Even if the Cloud Flood Dragons achieved the Nascent Soul stage, they would not trouble the Southern Sea.
Moreover, even if they did trouble the Southern Sea, the Six Great Powers of the Southern Sea, Lin Shiming did not believe they would be completely defenseless.
On the contrary, staying might cause even more influence.
As the Transmission Formation lit up, the three of them disappeared from Jiuyang Mountain once again and landed on Shuangmu Island in the Southern Sea.
The autumn wind whistled in the Eastern Domain, while in the Southern Sea, the climate was still pleasant.
Peach blossoms fluttered in the breeze, which was gentle and not harsh; the weather was calm and sunny.
Members of the Lin Family Clan came and went, enjoying the tranquility after the beast tide, but the determination in every one of their faces, rather than relaxing, grew even firmer for the Immortal Path!
Not reaching the Purple Mansion means being no more than ants!
That is the saying passed down through the Lin Family, even uttered by Lin Yanjiao, the new Family Head!
Lin Shiming also chuckled softly, once he had been just as young!
However, this pursuit of the Immortal Path is better for the Lin Family!
"Shiming, this is a cultivation technique left by Jiuxiao Scatter Man, take a look!" Jiuxiao Scatter Man, after his trip to the Eastern Domain, held no more reservations toward Lin Shiming, treating him just as he treated Lin Shizhong and Lin Houshou, fully considering himself a part of the Lin Family.
Lin Shiming took the Storage Bag, glanced inside, and saw a huge Starfall Stone, upon which a complex and arcane series of Spirit Patterns were inscribed, giving Lin Shiming a headache just from one glance!
Lin Shiming's heart was also elated; this trip to the Eastern Domain had been almost perfectly accomplished.
The resolution of the matter with the Blood Demon Disc Spiritual Treasure, the Gold Condensation Fruit trees, and alleviating some of the burden on Lin Shiyuan's heart.
"Many thanks to Elder Jiuxiao! I shall remember this great kindness," said Lin Shiming. This trip to the Qingxuan Sect involved risks for the Jiuxiao Scatter Man.
Had the Qingxuan Sect's ambush methods been like the Blood Demon Snake Pools under Fangmu Mountain, the Jiuxiao Scatter Man would have had a good chance of not returning!
But it was necessary to go, and they had to ensure that the three Transmission Formations were destroyed almost simultaneously.
Otherwise, there would have been problems!
Of course, Lin Shiming also highly praised the combination of using the Spirit Controlling Seal to manipulate fodder Great Demons with the Savage Blood Pill.
In the future, it could even be propagated to a small extent within the family.
As long as it was not discovered by Nine Dragon Island, the Lin Family would have an additional method!
After bidding farewell to Jiuxiao Scatter Man, Lin Shiming went to the Sword Pavilion to return the Flaming Sword and then directly to Thousand Wood Peak. On Thousand Wood Peak, Lin Shitao, Lin Houyuan, and Lin Xianzhi were all waiting.
Seeing these three people warmed Lin Shiming's heart.
"Seventh Great Uncle, Father, Shitao!"
These were nearly the most important people to Lin Shiming.
"This time went very smoothly," Lin Shiming nodded as he spoke.
"Good to have you back!"
...
The words of the three were nearly identical; it was clear they had all been worried about Lin Shiming's safety.
And Lin Shiming patted his chest, assuring them he was fine.
"Father, Seventh Great Uncle, Shitao, there are still some matters that need attending to!" said Lin Shiming.
He then led the three into the Cave Heaven!
Since all three had been in the Cave Heaven before, Lin Shiming had nothing to hide.
Now the Cave Heaven was divided into three parts: one was completely concealed by the Purple Sun Tower and the Flood Dragon Nest; another was populated by thousands of Mortals, while the fighting on another front had ended.
Lin Shiyuan knelt on the grassland with both knees on the ground, facing those Mortals.
The Mortals were terrified and dared not accept Lin Shiyuan's kneeling.
Lin Shiyuan was an Immortal; they were Mortals.
Only the one with the Ice Spirit Root coldly watched Lin Shiyuan from the side, even cursing him quietly.
Saying it was what he deserved.
If it weren't for the former Family Head of the Lin Family who had arranged their ancestors to be the last, how would they have been captured into the water prison, some even already refined into the Heavenly Demon Banner, never to be reborn!
Lin Shiming explained the situation to Lin Xianzhi as well as to Lin Houyuan and Lin Shitao.
At the same time, the three also bowed deeply toward this group of Mortals!
