Chapter 844: Chapter 839: Destruction Three

"Well said! The Lin Family Lady is truly a heroine among women! Is there no justice left in the world? Even her own family can’t enter their own home?"

Another elder from a neighboring family loudly echoed as well.

"The Lin Family Lady is the real grandmother of the Divine Monarch’s wife. If even she can’t enter, who else can settle in the Nether Realm?"

Yet another family patriarch quickly chimed in.

"Besides, the Lin Family of Yueyang is full of talent and absolutely meets the elite standards for selection in the Nether Realm!"

For a moment, the flattery around them grew even more intense.

Listening to everyone’s praise, Lin Family Lady couldn’t help but smile broadly.

"Thank you all, thank you all for speaking up for justice! This old woman is ever so grateful!"

She clasped her hands together and respectfully greeted everyone around her.

"Just wait until the Nether Realm higher-ups get the message. Once the Lin Family Lady enters the Nether Realm, don’t forget about us old friends!"

A family leader complimented with a smile.

"That’s right, my Zhao Family is very close to the Lin Family, dear elder sister, don’t forget about us when the time comes."

"And us, the Chen Family, Lin Grandmother, we’ve been neighbors for years. This time, it’s all up to you! Don’t forget about old Chen!"

"No, we won’t!"

Lin Family Lady said spiritedly.

"Enter! Everyone enters!

I’ll let my granddaughter know so that everyone can get in! Isn’t it just a matter of settling qualifications? Blood is thicker than water, this bit of face, this old person still has."

Everyone was overjoyed at once, surrounding Lin Family Lady even more eagerly, trying to establish connections with nonstop flattery, making the Lin Family lady beam with joy.

Among the crowd, many originally were at the same level as the Lin Family, and even some stronger elite families, now all depended on them, putting aside their pride to beg. This made the lady feel exceptionally pleased.

The other Lin Family members also raised their chins higher, feeling increasingly proud.

This is vindication! After so many years of family development, they had never seen such a glorious moment.

Guarding the teleportation formation to the Nether Realm was one of Lin Xin’s disciples, a Sixth Rank female cultivator named Xiao Hongyi.

At the moment, she was looking at the crowd with a headache.

The Lin Family of Yueyang was indeed the afterhome of Divine Monarch Lin Yaoyang.

They did hold the jade decree personally given by Lady Lin Yaoyang to come to the Nether Realm.

However, the decree only stated that direct relatives within three generations of Lin Yaoyang were allowed, everyone else had to follow the rules.

Adding it all up, there were only about twenty people from the Lin Family of Yueyang who met the qualifications.

But now, Lin Family Lady, being softhearted and persuaded by her family’s pleading, thought that since the Nether Realm was so big, it wouldn’t hurt to have a few more of her own people and just brought everyone over.

After they arrived, some insiders revealed to them that there was still enough space in the Nether Realm to accommodate millions of people.

This news made Lin Family Lady even more assured.

This is why she had confidently made promises to everyone earlier.

However, this meant that there were not enough slots.

These quotas were arranged long ago, looking like millions of vacancies but most were already allocated to important personnel from various places.

Many families of Heavenly Venerables and Earth Immortal Realm Masters had positions. It was not something that could be casually extended.

As the crowd continued to argue, a light ring suddenly lit up in mid-air.

A large carriage drawn by seven black jiao slowly appeared from the light ring.

Around the carriage, rows of cultivators rode on exotic beasts and birds, all dressed in black robes marked with the Nether Realm symbol.

The moment the carriage appeared, it exuded a tremendous oppressive feeling, making the air seem to stagnate within tens of spirit miles around.

Instantly, the many still noisy cultivators below felt their chests tighten, unable to speak under the pressure.

"It’s the carriage of the Divine Monarch’s wife!"

Someone suddenly recognized the origin of the carriage and cried out.

The cultivators present instantly erupted with excitement.

The Divine Monarch’s wife?!

What a concept. Since the rise of Lin Sherie, breaking through from the Fifth to the Sixth Rank Earth Immortal, and now reaching the level of a Heavenly Venerable.

They were already a legendary myth of their generation. Not only were the Lin Clan’s people proud, but they also became a heroic tale sung across much of the Mortal Realm.

Lin Sherie, Divine Monarch Sherie, represented a legendary figure who rose from humble beginnings by sheer force.

Naturally, this earned the utmost respect of the lower-level martial artists and practitioners.

Heavenly Venerable-level figures were ones these ordinary practitioners would not see in a lifetime, but if they could just glimpse at the Divine Monarch’s wife now, it would make this trip worthwhile.

The surrounding practitioners buzzed with excitement.

Some still remained rational, loudly reminding everyone not to look directly at high-rank practitioners to avoid burning their eyes.

The black carriage, pulled by seven black jiao, slowly descended, hovering a hundred meters above everyone’s heads.

"Lin Ruihong Grandmother."

A cold female voice drifted from the carriage.

"It’s Xiao Yang!"

The old Lin Lady below was instantly delighted, immediately changing to a kindly and amiable smile, gently floating up to level with the carriage.

"You came just in time. You be the judge—everyone here is a blood relative of the Lin Family. How can a mere few dozen slots be enough? Can you bear to see our Lin family members separated, torn apart?"

"Anyway, there are so many slots left in the Nether Realm. I thought, with too many outsiders, it won’t be as reassuring. So, I just took it upon myself to bring all my family over."

She laughed loudly.

"But look, even the gatekeepers don’t give our Lin Family face! If they don’t respect our Lin Family, they don’t respect you, Xiao Yang!"

She started to get indignant as she spoke.

"Isn’t the vast Nether Realm all run by our Lin Family’s servants? How can there be servants who don’t show their masters respect?! Xiao Yang, you must manage this properly."

"So, Grandmother, what do you want to do?"

Lin Yaoyang, sitting in the carriage, sighed deeply. Looking at Lin Xin opposite her, her brows full of helplessness. She had thought of helping due to the few family members and couldn’t resist the constant pleas from the Yueyang Lin Family, but now...

"Of course, let everyone in to rest! You see, all our uncles and uncles have been waiting for a whole day without any result, what sense does that make?"

A Lin Family elder loudly shouted.

Lin Yaoyang closed her eyes, feeling completely disillusioned. She never thought that despite so long, the Yueyang Lin Family remained unchanged.

"You decide how to handle this." Lin Xin said indifferently. There was no blame in his tone; they had always known the ways of the Yueyang Lin Family. Now it was just reaffirmed.

Had it not been for Lin Yaoyang being soft-hearted and the scarcity of family, they would never have had dealings with such a clan.

"Okay."

Lin Yaoyang slightly nodded, suddenly feeling very tired.

"Transmit my decree." She transmitted her voice directly outside the carriage, into the ears of the giant bird-riding guards.

In fact, everyone present heard it clearly.

"The Lin Family of Yueyang, disturbing the order of the Nether Realm, openly accepting bribes, are stripped of entry qualifications, reassigned to the Nether City, and all privileges revoked. Treated as an ordinary family."

Her words were met with a loud response from the cultivators by the teleportation formation.

The surrounding officials, who had rushed upon hearing the news, were overjoyed.

The cultivators present were stunned, no one spoke for a while, as if their ears deceived them.

Especially the many disciples and relatives of the Lin Family of Yueyang, they were completely bewildered upon hearing this decree.

The Lin Family Lady’s previously kind and gentle smile instantly froze, like a solidified amber painting, standing stiffly in mid-air.

"Niece Yaoyang! Are you insane!! We are your kin! Kin!!"

A middle-aged man from the Lin Family of Yueyang roared in anger.

His shout was like the first firecracker, instantly igniting the other relatives around.

"Heavens! Did I hear wrong?"

"Xiao Yang, how could she! How could she??"

"That can’t be Xiao Yang in the carriage, she would never say such a thing to us! Never!"

The Lin Family members of Yueyang were enraged, their eyes red.

They couldn’t believe Lin Yaoyang was so ruthless, directly canceling their Nether Realm qualifications.

Everyone knew an entry to the Nether Realm was a precious opportunity for any cultivator.

Lin Yaoyang canceling it without a second thought was a clear sign of her dwindling goodwill towards the Lin Family of Yueyang.

The Lin Family Lady was completely stunned, trembling all over with a blank mind, hovering helplessly in mid-air.

She felt countless eyes, from countless cultivators, family friends, and many old friends fixated on her.

Glaring and embarrassing, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into, yet was too frozen to move.

She knew very well who the biggest support for the Yueyang Lin Family was.

It was Lin Yaoyang.

If she hadn’t shamelessly maintained ties and played the family card with Lin Yaoyang over the years, the Yueyang Lin Family would have long been wiped out by outside forces, never able to comfortably occupy a small world.

It wasn’t like before. Now with Void Demon Spirits invading everywhere, in times of peace their strength was sufficient, but in times of war, they were vulnerable.

Had it not been for Lin Yaoyang’s multiple deployments to fend off Void Demon Spirits, the Yueyang Lin Family would be just another extinct ordinary family.

She never thought that so much familial investment would fall short over a mere few Nether Realm entry spots.

"Alright, resolve this quickly. Any unrelated persons must not block the road. Disobey, and be killed!"

Lin Yaoyang was resolute, immediately taking a hard stance. Her carriage turned back to handle other teleportation formations.

"Respecting the princess’s decree!"

All the guardian cultivators kneeled to send off the command.

The black jiao carriage slowly turned, flying off to another teleportation formation. A representative was left behind to oversee the execution.

The Lin Family of Yueyang had already started wailing loudly.

In chaotic times, weakness is not the real fear, the real fear is losing your greatest support.

Once the support is gone, the fall is swift, with plenty of hungry wolves ready to tear a piece off.
