Chapter 446: Chapter 440: The King’s Return (1 more update)

Wind Chant City.

The Lin Family.

Under everyone’s gaze, Xu Zhan trembled, his body seemingly aged by a decade, as he slowly knelt to the ground.

He really knelt!!!

"Patriarch Lin, I beg of you, this old Xu Zhan pleads with you!" Xu Zhan cried out loudly from his position on the ground.

For a moment, the area in and around the Lin Family estate fell into dead silence.

Xu Zhan, after all, was a Great Elder of a sect, and he had actually knelt down?

However, at this moment, no one mocked him; instead, some felt a newfound respect for him.

Unlike Bai Zhen’s kneeling, Bai Zhen had knelt down wishing to become a dog, to curry favor with Lin Zonglong.

But Xu Zhan was different.

His kneeling was for the sake of everyone in the Burning Heaven Sect.

To save the Burning Heaven Sect, he had cast aside his personal dignity... Such an act was truly admirable.

Zhou Feng stared in shock at the kneeling Xu Zhan, dumbstruck, his eyes filled with tears, unable to control his sobbing voice, "Great Elder, you..."

Zhou Feng was shocked, a kind of sorrowful shock.

Perhaps, it was not until this moment that he truly understood the cruelty of the Divine Martial Continent, that the weak deserved to die, had no dignity, and were subjected to humiliation.

Zhou Feng clenched his fists tightly, and although filled with sorrowful rage, he could only bow his head, forcibly holding back.

"Not bad, there is indeed a bit of the proper manner of begging!" Lin Zonglong smiled, feeling somewhat surprised inside. Xu Zhan was really willing to sacrifice a lot for the Burning Heaven Sect! His heart was truly devoted to the sect!

However, what of it? The Burning Heaven Sect was still going to be destroyed.

Then Lin Zonglong added, "Elder Xuu and his disciple can join the Lin Family in celebrating our old ancestor’s breakthrough into the Divine Skills Realm!"

Since Xu Zhan had already knelt down, Lin Zonglong knew when to stop. If he continued to make things difficult or sent Xu Zhan and Zhou Feng away, it would seem petty.

So he allowed Xu Zhan and Zhou Feng to enter the Lin Family estate.

But letting the two in to celebrate the old ancestor did not mean he had forgiven the Burning Heaven Sect.

The same statement still held: the Burning Heaven Sect still had to be annihilated.

"Thank you, Patriarch Lin!" Xu Zhan was somewhat excited as he shakily stood up, with Zhou Feng’s support, and walked towards the Lin Family Hall.

"Xian, arrange two seats for Elder Xuu and his companion," Lin Zonglong instructed Lin Xian, who was beside him.

"Yes, Father!" Lin Xian nodded, leading Xu Zhan and the other to the hall.

Soon.

The seats were arranged.

However... they were the most cornered seats, and the people sharing the table with them were the weakest in strength and the poorest in background among those who were present this evening.

"Great Elder, is it... worth it?" Once seated, Zhou Feng’s emotions had slightly improved. He asked in a quivering voice, "Even if we have been let in, it’s possible that the Lin Family still hasn’t really forgiven the Burning Heaven Sect."

"I know!" How could Xu Zhan not know? But he had to try! Even with a one percent chance, he had to give it a shot!

At the same time.

Lin Zonglong and Lin Xian returned to the hall.

"Hahaha... First of all, Lin Someone thanks everyone for coming. Tonight, the Lin Family is honored by your presence. Here, I propose a toast to everyone!"

Lin Zonglong laughed heartily, holding up his glass and then downing his drink in one go.

The gathered crowd also raised their glasses and stood up:

"You’re too kind, Patriarch Lin!"

"The old ancestors of the Lin Family soared into the sky, and from then on, the Lin Family is going to be far ahead of us by a great deal!"

"In the days to come, we will have to rely on Patriarch Lin’s care and support!"

......

As Lin Zonglong proposed a toast, the atmosphere seemed to grow denser, as if it were truly just a banquet.

Even then, over a dozen scantily clad women took to the center of the hall to dance.

A splay of luxury.

"In fact, tonight, this banquet, in addition to celebrating our old ancestor’s breakthrough into the Divine Power Realm, there is another great joyous event I wish to share with all of you!"

After a round of singing and dancing ended, Lin Zonglong said with a smile, then pointed to a spot at the back of the hall...

There, a young man was seen.

As Lin Zonglong mentioned him, the young man walked toward the center of the venue.

"My son, Lin Qiming, has returned after three years!!!" Lin Zonglong’s voice rang out a bit louder: "I’m very happy!"

That Lin Qiming, tall and handsome, was tanned with sword-like eyebrows, and a pair of deep, unfathomable eyes.

His face lacked much expression, and his whole being was filled with an extremely calm aura. Upon closer feel, there was an even a faint trace of evil qi lingering.

He approached Lin Zonglong’s side and gave a slight bow: "Father!"

At the same time, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became stranger.

Many people occasionally glanced in the direction of Xu Zhenxiong and Xu Yaoyao; evidently, everyone knew about the affairs between the Xu Family and Lin Qiming.

"Qiming has been tempering himself abroad for the past three years, and might not be too familiar with Wind Chant City and everyone here. I’d like to ask everyone to take good care of my young son in the days to come!" Lin Zonglong continued.

"Of course."

"Nephew Lin Xian is truly talented. Congratulations to Patriarch Lin!"

"Back in the day, Young Master Lin was Wind Chant City’s top prodigy. Now, it’s the return of the king!"

...........

Listening to these compliments, Lin Zonglong was very pleased: "Everyone here is a person of status and stature from Wind Chant City or nearby areas. It’s rare for us to gather together like this, and we must make the most of it. Besides drinking, exchanges in martial arts among the younger generation are also indispensable, hahaha..."

"Martial arts exchanges!!!" As Lin Zonglong’s voice fell, the hall became even more lively, with many looking forward and becoming excited.

In the world of martial arts cultivation, martial arts are revered, and martial arts exchanges are always the most captivating.

However, some people in the hall did not look very pleased.

People like Li Dinglin, the Second Elder from the Nan Ling Sect, and Wang Chengwang, the Great Elder from the Tianyao Sect, were flickering in their gaze with anger hidden in the depths of their eyes.

They had miscalculated.

With the appearance of Lin Qiming, everything had miscalculated.

They did not know Lin Qiming had returned, and even less that he had already become a Seventh Stage of Hollow Void Realm powerhouse.

Lin Qiming had only returned to Wind Chant City today; although the news had spread out, it was only circulating within Wind Chant City.

Places like the Nan Ling Sect and Tianyao Sect, thousands of miles away from Wind Chant City, indeed did not have timely information.

Because of this, their original intention of giving the Lin Family a show of force tonight had completely miscalculated.

Take Li Dinglin, for example, he brought two talented disciples from the Nan Ling Sect, one was Feng Chunming and the other Chen Xinxin. Feng Chunming was a Sixth Stage Mid-Phase Hollow Realm powerhouse, also ranked third or fourth among the core disciples in the Nan Ling Sect, while Chen Xinxin was ranked around seventh.

With these two disciples, Li Dinglin was naturally full of confidence, and he was certain that bringing them along would definitely defeat Lin Xian, who was only at the peak of the Fifth Turn of Hollow Void Realm.

But who could have expected...

Lin Qiming had returned, and he had reached the Seventh Stage of Hollow Void Realm!!!

Damn it!
