Chapter Seventy-Three: Withdraw?
In the ancestral hall of the Lin clan, the great elder of the Lin clan sat on the ground, and there was a broken wooden table with a corner missing in front of him.
Pouring a cup of tea, the Great Elder took a sip, his face full of intoxication.
Listening to the howls from the outside world, the Great Elder was shocked.
"Da ......"
A line of tears slid down from the corner of the Great Elder's eyes and fell into the teacup in his hand. For the Lin clan of Qingshan County, the Great Elder has deep feelings. Although it shows that he is still as usual, his heart is dripping blood.
"Knock Knock ......"
A sound of footsteps came from afar, gradually approaching.
"Squeak. ”
The door of the ancestral hall was pushed open.
The Great Elder's eyes closed, he brushed up his sleeves and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the sadness in his expression was swept away, and a faint smile hung on his old face again.
As the pillar of the Lin clan, he didn't want anyone to see the sadness in his heart.
"It's coming. ”
The voice of the Great Elder resounded in the ancestral hall.
Lin Xiao walked out and came to the Great Elder.
"Great Elder. ”
Lin Xiao shouted respectfully. Although he is an emperor, he doesn't have any shelf.
No rush, no rush.
The Great Elder nodded slightly, Lin Xiao's performance did not show any arrogance, and he did not feel superior because of his status as an emperor.
This young teenager has a mature and unhurried heart that his peers do not have. He had never paid attention to Lin Xiao in the past few years, but when Lin Xiao stood out in the Lin clan competition, he had grown to the point where he was shocked.
Looking at what Lin Xiao did, the Lin family has a very important position in his heart. Having such a person is really a blessing for the Lin clan to guard the tomb.
For thousands of years, it is no secret that the tomb guards of the Lin clan have fallen into the Lin clan. Although it is said that the tomb guarding vein has made a great contribution to the Lin clan, the Great Elder has always been faintly worried in his heart, once the Lin clan gathers together again, what will be the status of this line of the Lin clan in the Lin clan.
On this continent, everything is based on strength. And looking at the strongest of the Lin clan in Qingshan County, it is only a martial artist, which is too far behind the other veins.
If it weren't for the fact that the tomb guard vein shouldered the burden of guarding the clan mausoleum, I am afraid that this vein would have been erased from the Lin family tree long ago.
But once the mission of the Lin clan of Qingshan County is completed, where should they go?
The Great Elder had thought of this question for countless nights, but even he didn't know the answer.
Although he is not a person in the Lin clan's tomb guarding lineage, but he has been with them for hundreds of years in life and death, he has long regarded the people in this vein as his relatives, and he is deeply integrated into his vein, and he does not want to see the decline of the Lin clan in Qingshan County.
However, he was powerless, and without the birth of a strong man, this vein was destined to decline in the Lin clan.
But Lin Xiao's appearance brought full confidence to the Great Elder. Lin Xiao's talent and affection for the Lin clan in Qingshan County are destined to lead this vein towards revival.
Once the identity of Emperor Lin Xiao is exposed in the Lin clan, the tomb guard will inevitably rise.
Others don't know, but the great elder from the general lineage of the Lin clan knows that the emperor has supreme prestige in the Lin clan and is the hope of the revival of the Lin clan.
The Great Elder showed a hint of approval in his eyes and said, "Sit." ”
At the suggestion of the Great Elder, Lin Xiao sat on the ground opposite the Great Elder.
After Lin Xiao sat down, the Great Elder got up, poured a cup of tea for Lin Xiao, and said with a smile: "This is the bitter tea I brought from the main vein, try it." ”
"General Pulse?" Lin Xiao repeated in confusion, and Lin Xiao flashed a trace of doubt.
Raising the teacup, a faint aroma of tea came to my nose. As soon as he drank it, the thick bitterness in the mouth of the tea made Lin Xiao frown. However, when the tea entered the abdomen, it exuded an abnormal coolness, and an unprecedented refreshment grew in Lin Xiao's body.
"Good tea. ”
Even if Lin Xiao doesn't understand the tea ceremony, he knows that this tea is definitely of the highest quality, and he praised it at the moment.
Watching Lin Xiao drink it like a cow, a trace of flesh pain flashed at the corner of the Great Elder's mouth, and he scolded with a smile: "You are really a tyrannical thing. This tea was brought by me from Zongmai, and it has been hundreds of years ago, and the old man has always been reluctant to drink it. If you drink like this, it's long gone. ”
Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly and touched his little head.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Great Elder, the people sent by the Royal Clan, the Taiqing Kingdom, and the Heavenly Star Emperor Sect were all killed by us, and we won a great victory in this battle. ”
The Great Elder laughed dryly a few times, and took another sip of the bitter tea in his hand, obviously not having any surprises about the news brought by Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao also knew that there was Princess Yaorui's earthquake, and the ending was already doomed.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao continued: "Now that we have killed so many people from the Heavenly Star Emperor Gate, the Heavenly Star Emperor Gate will never give up, where does the Great Elder think we should retreat?"
With the strength of the Lin clan now, a hard encounter with the Heavenly Star Emperor Gate would be like hitting a stone with an egg. The only way is to temporarily retreat in order to have a back-effect.
"Withdraw?" the Great Elder flashed a look of determination and said, "Absolutely not, even if I die, I will die here." ”
The Great Elder's tone was so resolute that there seemed to be no room for negotiation at all.
"Why?" Lin Xiao knew that there was only one way to stay here, and immediately said: "With the knowledge of the Great Elder, he should know the strength of the Heavenly Star Emperor Gate, and the Lin Clan has no qualifications to compete with it at all. If you stay here, the entire Lin clan will perish. ”
Lin Xiao was very excited in his words. It's not that he's greedy for life and afraid of death, but he just doesn't want to put his family in danger, the Lin clan and the danger. Staying here, Lin Xiao couldn't see any life.
The Great Elder sneered and said, "The Lin Clan will never be destroyed, the Lin Clan of Qingshan County is just a lineage of the Lin Clan, and the strength of my Lin Clan is far beyond what you can imagine." The little Heavenly Star Emperor Gate, my Lin clan can send one person casually to uproot it. ”
Lin Xiao knew that the background of the Lin clan was very strong, and asked, "You mean that the Lin clan will send people to help us deal with the Heavenly Star Emperor Gate?"
After hearing Lin Xiao's words, the Great Elder's eyes suddenly dimmed, sighed, and said, "Now that the time has not come, the Lin clan cannot be exposed to the world, so no one will come to help us." ”
Speaking of this, the Great Elder's voice suddenly increased, and he said categorically: "But I was appointed here by the Lin Clan for the purpose of protecting the Clan's tomb. Without the order of the Lin clan, the Lin clan of Qingshan County and I will never retreat. ”
With no one to help, Lin Xiao's heart cooled down. If it was really as the Great Elder said, the strength of the Lin Clan should be very strong, but they didn't care about the life or death of the Lin Clan in Qingshan County at all.
Faintly, Lin Xiao realized that in the eyes of the Lin clan mentioned by the Great Elder, the Lin clan of Qingshan County was an outcast, and they would not care about the life and death of these people.
At this moment, Lin Xiao's heart was very cold, and his sense of belonging to the mysterious and powerful Lin clan was gradually weakening. Looking at the Great Elder, Lin Xiao's eyes showed a deep disappointment.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Great Elder, that Lin clan was the Lin clan, and the Lin clan of Qingshan County was just their victim. For the revival of the Lin clan, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the Lin clan of Qingshan County.
However, in Lin Xiao's eyes, this Lin clan is his home.
"I don't care whose order it is, I will never allow anyone to harm the Qingshan County Forest Clan, and the Qingshan County Forest Clan will never fall victim to any conspiracy. ”
Lin Xiao said suddenly, his eyes flashing with cold light, revealing a touch of determination and indifference.
