The sky was terribly overcast, and the sun, which had been majestic and emitting a strong dazzling light a moment before, had been blocked by dense dark clouds, as if despair had descended, and people felt uneasy.

Next to a large hall, a middle-aged man in a light blue robe was staring sharply at the sky. This person's nose is slightly hooked, his temples are slightly white, and his cold and handsome face reveals a hideous meaning. This person is the current patriarch of one of the ancient families, the Lin clan, Lin Chen.

"Ominous premonition!" Lin Chen let out a long sigh and fell into deep thought.

There are countless powerful sect forces on the Lingyun Continent, in addition to these forces, there are also eight ancient families, they live in the space they have opened up, most of the families do not have too much collusion with external forces, and those who know their existence are almost only those who stand at the top of the continent.

The ancient family values the bloodline the most, but because no one has reached the strongest realm in the past thousand years, the Xuandi, the bloodlines of the eight major families are slowly drying up, and the most serious of them is the Lin clan.

Now the overall strength of the Lin clan is completely weaker than the other seven ancient families, which makes the Lin clan's sworn enemy, the Thunder Clan, eyeing him. The Lin clan used to be comparable to the strongest thunder clan in the ancient family, but in the last big battle between the Lin clan and the thunder clan, because of the conspiracy of the thunder clan, he was in the arms of the thunder clan, and the former patriarch was also Lin Chen's eldest brother - Lin Hai could only seriously injure the thunder clan patriarch - Lei Huantian at the cost of falling, and the other oldest elder of the Lin clan faced many strong men of the thunder clan alone in order to cover the retreat of others, and finally unfortunately fell. The loss of the two strongest people of the Lin Clan, the current Lin Clan is at the end of the strong crossbow, and can no longer match the Thunder Clan, and may even be in danger of being wiped out.

Fortunately, the Wind Clan is still friendly with the Lin Clan, but the reality is very cruel, the high-level of the Lin Clan know that since the Great War, the relationship between the Wind Clan and the Lin Clan is not as good as before, after all, in this continent, strength is respected, interests are important, and no one will fight to the death for the sake of an alliance at the beginning, and finally catch themselves. Besides, the current Lin clan is no longer the majestic big brother of the past, wouldn't it be a fool if he still follows him?

If it weren't for the fact that the Thunder Clan was also hit hard in the last war, and he was afraid of the Wind Clan's interference and the fierce reputation of the Lin Clan's Protector Array, otherwise the Lin Clan would have ceased to exist now.

The realm of the powerhouses on the Lingyun Continent from small to large is divided into Xuanzhi, Xuanshi, Xuanling, Xuanwang, Xuanhuang, Xuanzong, Xuanzun, quasi-Xuansheng, Xuansheng, and Xuandi. Each realm is divided into nine levels, and it is very difficult to upgrade a realm or even a first order, if there is no opportunity, you may stay in a certain realm for the rest of your life, and it is not nothing. In the Lin clan, there were originally three Xuan Sages, in addition to Lin Chen, one was the oldest Taishang elder of the Lin clan, and the other was the former patriarch - Lin Hai. Lin Hai is the eighth order of the Xuan Sage, and he is the person with the most hope of breaking through the Xuan Emperor of the Lin clan, and he is the hope of the revitalization of the Lin clan. But these two Xuan Saints both fell in the last confrontation with ThunderClan......

Now the strongest of the Lin clan is only the first order of the Xuan Sheng, and there is only one person, and that is Lin Chen. Such a strong person has long been at the legendary level at the top of the current Lingyun Continent realm pyramid.

Xuan Sheng, a stomp of his foot can make the entire continent tremble. Even the people in these ancient families, with their own family resources and bloodline, if they don't have enough personal opportunities, they can only be utopian.

In addition, there are three quasi-Xuan Saint powerhouses, namely the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder. There are ten Xuanzong, and those under Xuanzong account for the majority.

On the other hand, the Thunder Clan, there are as many as four Xuan Saint powerhouses. There are also six quasi-Xuansheng and sixteen Xuanzong...... With such terrifying strength, none of the other seven ancient families can compare with it, except for the alliance between the families, no single family can compete with it, it can be imagined that the Thunder Clan is powerful and terrifying.

"Patriarch. A hoarse cry with endless vicissitudes sounded from behind Lin Chen. Lin Chen came back from his contemplation, turned around, and saw that it was an extremely old man in a purple robe, his body that should have been rickety was extremely straight, his eyes were deep-set, his white hair was like frost, he was brushing his long white beard, and his wrinkled face was smiling kindly.

"It turned out to be the Great Elder, what is it that makes your old man so happy, is there anything wrong?" Lin Chen replied with a smile.

The eldest elder's name is Lin Wansong, and Lin Chen and Lin Chen's eldest brother, the former patriarch Lin Hai, has been taken care of by him since he was a child. After the two became patriarchs, the Great Elder also did his best to assist the two, and the Great Elder was like their biological father. Of course, Lin Chen and Lin Hai were not people who did not repay their kindness, they treated the Great Elder as if they were their own parents, serving him.

"Patriarch, don't bother the old man," the Great Elder looked at the young eagle who used to have to be taken care of by him with a kind face, but now that he had spread his wings and soared, he had become a stronger existence than him, and his heart was also extremely gratified. Then he looked serious: "Patriarch, the third elder of the Wind Clan, Feng Xiao, came and said that there was a major matter to discuss. ”

"Wind Clan?" Lin Chen was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "Great Elder, where is he now." ”

This matter is not small, and the Great Elder did not hesitate, and said, "The Second Elder has already invited him into the council hall. ”

"Well, we'll go over now. After speaking, Lin Chen started to walk towards the meeting hall, and the Great Elder followed closely behind.

"Daddy!" A childish and familiar voice came into Lin Chen's ears, and Lin Chen looked in the direction where the voice came from, with a loving face.

I saw a little girl in a powder blue skirt running towards Lin Chen, with a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, skin like white jade, and tender pink lips slightly hooked upward, looking lively and cute of the girl.

Looking at the little girl who was running towards him, Lin Chen sighed in his heart: Xinlan, our family Ling'er is really more and more like you! But what followed was endless self-blame......

Lin Chen smiled and touched the girl's little head with his big hand, causing the little girl to twist and try to break free of his big hand, haha teased: "You girl, how can you have time to find your father if you don't go to play with your brothers." ”

"Hmph, the eldest brother and the second brother don't know where they went, and they don't play with Ling'er!" the little girl pouted, indignant.

When Lin Chen and the Great Elder heard this, they both looked at each other and smiled. The Great Elder looked amiable and said, "Ling'er, Xiao Lie and Xiao Yan seem to have gone to the back mountain. ”

"Great Elder, is it really?" Ling'er Shui Lingling's big eyes flickered.

The Great Elder nodded, and Lin Chen on the side smiled and said, "Go and play with my brother, Daddy has something important to do with the Great Elder, but I can't play with you." ”

"Hmm!" Ling'er responded obediently, and then jumped and ran towards the back mountain.

"This little girl, she is almost twelve years old, and she still likes to play so much. Lin Chen rubbed his temples and shook his head, feeling a little helpless.

"Ling'er is still young, with her current temperament, it would be difficult for her to let her cultivate like Lin Lie and Lin Yan, let's play with him first. The Great Elder stroked his beard and smiled.

"Well, but I always have a bad feeling lately, maybe the peaceful days are not long, I don't know how long this girl can play carefree like this, it's useless to blame me!" Lin Chen looked at the gloomy sky, blaming himself.

"Patriarch......" The Great Elder wanted to say something, but in the end, it also turned silent. As a realm powerhouse like them, they can't give their juniors a safe and quiet living environment, which is not the pain in the hearts of all the Lin clan powerhouses.

"Alas!" the Great Elder sighed and said, "Patriarch, don't be delaying, let's go to the council hall first!"

"Hmm" Lin Chen was just about to move forward, but he stopped again, and looked at the Great Elder with a slight smile: "Great Elder, I have said that don't call me Patriarch, it's better for your old man to call me Xiao Chen!"

The Great Elder shook his head and said with a serious face: "Then how can it be done, this is the rule!"

Lin Chen smiled bitterly, he and his eldest brother didn't know how many times they had asked the same question, but the Great Elder finally answered them with this sentence.

The two looked at each other, as if they both knew what the other was thinking, looked at each other and smiled, and walked straight to the meeting hall.

......

Behind the mountain, the trees are swaying with the wind, countless fallen leaves are swinging their bodies in the air with the wind, like a fairy with a graceful posture dancing a beautiful dance, the gloomy and terrible sky envelops the back mountain, so that people can not feel the beauty at all, so that the back mountain is also surprisingly gloomy, but no matter how gloomy the atmosphere......

"Yellow Order Advanced Occult Technique - Silent Fire Claw!" a slightly childish cry spread throughout this gloomy back mountain. At the loud shout, a gray shirt, a handsome and somewhat childish face, and dark eyes stared closely at a young man in a black shirt in front of him, who looked somewhat similar to himself, and his face sank like water without the slightest fluctuation.

The gray-shirted boy mobilized the Xuan Qi in his body to his hand, and at the same time, the hand shape was quickly transformed, and a strange claw type was natural, with a strange claw type that exuded a fiery red light, and rushed towards the black-shirted boy without saying a word.

The black-shirted young man's face remained unchanged, and he said in a low voice: "Ground-level low-level body technique mystical technique - shadow step!",

The black-shirted young man walked strangely, flashed the fierce attack of the gray-shirted young man at an extremely fast speed, and then stomped on the ground, and the person was already behind the gray-shirted young man, "Yellow Order Advanced Occult Technique - Burning Fire Palm!" Towards the gray-shirted young man mercilessly.

As soon as the gray-shirted boy missed, he sensed a sudden chill coming from behind, and without hesitation, he threw the fallen Silent Fire Claw behind him.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, and the fire claw that also emitted fiery red aura directly touched the fire palm, and the brilliance of the fire claw was instantly dispersed by the fire palm, and the gray-shirted young man suddenly took a few steps back before stabilizing his figure.

"Xiaoyan, the speed is too slow, the strength is too small, but the reaction is quite fast, and it can be regarded as an improvement. The black-shirted boy clapped his hands lightly with a blank face.

These two teenagers are the eldest brother and second brother that are often hung in Ling'er's mouth, the black-shirted boy who is gently clapping his hands is the eldest brother - Lin Lie, and the gray-shirted boy is the second brother - Lin Yan!
