C6 The Ancestral Land

The remaining guards who stood by were shocked by what just happened. Three days ago, Lin Hao's Dantian was broken and he was as useless as trash. He was barely taking his last breath and should have given up the ghost by now. How could he still be alive and also be this powerful?

With a single stroke of his sword, Lin Hao killed Xiao Zheng who was at Open Pulse Stage, Level 6.

Immediately after that, he killed Lin Kai, who was at Open Pulse Stage, Level 8.

As it were, they were so scared that they were afraid to lose their lives under Lin Hao's sword. None of them dared to attack.

"I'll give you all a chance. Put down your weapons and I'll spare your lives!" Lin Hao said in a deep voice as he glanced at them.

They all looked at one another. In the end, they all followed his instructions and put down their weapons carefully. They also lowered their heads in submission.

After Lin Hao took all the pills from Lin Kai and Xiao Zheng, he walked forward.

The guards who were blocking the way immediately lowered their heads and hastily cleared the path, not daring to stop him.

After a while, Lin Hao arrived at the Pill Room of the Lin family.

On his way here, he refined all the pills he got from the two men and his cultivation moved to the Fourth level of the Open Pulse Stage. The further he went, the more energy he needed to recover his strength.

He no longer had time on his side. He needed to head to the Ancestral Land as soon as possible to stop Lin Nantian and the others. But his current strength was still insufficient and he needed more pills.

After all, he remembered that Lin Nantian's strength was at Qi Ocean Stage, Level 7!

The Pill Room was the best place for Lin Hao to recover his strength.

He got rid of the guards who were at the entrance of the Pill Room. They were just at the fifth or sixth level of the Open Pulse Stage and none of them could survive his sword. By the time he entered the Pill Room, he furrowed his brows in anger.

This room always had a sufficient stock of pills.

But right now, the number of pills here was 70% less than what Lin Hao remembered.

Lin Hao didn't need to think too much about it to know that this was Lin Nantian's doing. He disrespected his ancestors and because he wanted the Xiao family to help suppress those who opposed him, he gave away most of the pills away.

Lin Hao took the remaining pills. Whether it was healing his injuries, expelling poison, or improving his cultivation, he threw them all into his mouth and swallowed them.

In any case, it didn't matter what kind of pill it was, as long as it contained pure energy that could be used by him. After he refined them, he turned them into Sword Essence and condensed them into Dantian!

Although there were only 30% of the original pills left in the room, to Lin Hao, who was only at the fourth level of the Open Pulse Stage, this energy was extremely huge. The Sword Essence in his body started circulating crazily and the blue veins in his skin started bulging. He was using all his strength to refine the energy within these pills.

After an hour, Lin Hao was done absorbing all of the mixed energy. He looked at his body and found out that his Dantian was much clearer than before. It was already having the feeling of being corporeal.

Lin Hao moved and the Sword Essence in his body began to surge.

Sword Qi emerged from his body and surrounded him. The entire Pill Room became a world filled with Sword Qi.

"I can barely use that trick with my current cultivation level. But it won't be a problem for me to deal with a warrior at the first Level of Qi Ocean Stage," Lin Hao whispered to himself.

By saying that it wouldn't be a problem, he meant that he could kill Lin Nantian easily.

Above the Open Pulse Stage was the Qi Ocean Stage. When Lin Hao was still at Open Pulse Stage, Peak of Level 3, he broke through to level 5 and killed Lin Kai. When he was at the sixth level of the Open Pulse Stage and had the confidence to defeat a martial artist at the first level of Qi Ocean Stage, it wasn't the same concept.

The difference between the strength of a martial artist at Open Pulse Stage and one at Qi Ocean Stage was more like the difference between a firefly and a bright moon.

If Lin Hao used all his strength, even if it was Lin Nantian, who was at Qi Ocean Stage, Level 7, he would not be able to stop him. However, the price was too great and Lin Hao would never do that unless it was a very critical situation.

Lin Hao walked out of the Pill Room.

Although the situation in the Lin family had stabilized, he wasn't sure if there would still be any more fights here. For this reason, he couldn't let Ruoshui stay here any longer. He went to the secret chamber, took Ruoshui, and left through another exit.

Outside the city, in a mountain forest, Lin Hao and Ruoshui walked out of a cave. He told her not to return to the Green Cloud City for a while, and then prepared to leave.

Ruoshui, being a very smart girl, already guessed what Lin Hao was up to. She knew that she could not stop him from doing whatever he had in mind. As she watched him leave, she blamed herself for not being able to help him. She muttered under her breath, "Young Master, you must not let anything happen to you."

About twenty miles on the east side of the Green Cloud City, there was a mountain. This was where the Ancestral Land of the Lin family was located.

At that moment, some members of the Lin family were already gathered at the foot of the mountain.

The person leading them was an old man with gray hair. He was Lin Nantian, the Grand Elder from a branch family in the Lin family.

Beside him was a young man who was about the same age as Lin Hao. He was Lin Nantian's grandson, Lin Shan.

"Shan, remember what I told you, the Ancestral Land will open very soon. Immediately after you enter, don't mess around. Just go straight to the Sword Pool and take a sword. Then you will become the Patriarch of the Lin family. Do you understand?" Lin Nantian looked at his grandson as he explained.

The Ancestral Land was a dilapidated and special spatial zone. In the past, the ancestors of the Lin family discovered this place and after many years of management, they set up a Sword Pool in it. All these years, only the heir of the Lin family was qualified to enter the Ancestral Land. The heir had to go to the Sword Pool to receive baptism and successfully obtain the recognition of a sword in the Sword Pool. Only then could he become the true heir of the Lin family, a Patriarch!

In addition, there was a huge restriction in this place, and only warriors at Open Pulse Stage were allowed to enter. Once people who were above this stage entered, the whole space inside would collapse.

With an arrogant air around him, Lin Shan replied, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I will get the sword and won't let you down!"

Lin Nantian nodded and said, "Good. It's all up to you now. Our family has endured hardships for so many years. It's now time for us to rise, although it's a pity that your father won't be here to see it."

Lin Shan's father was Lin Nantian's son.

Ten years ago, Lin Shan's father was expelled from the Lin family by Lin Hao's father, Lin Zhentian, because he made a huge mistake. He bore hatred in his heart against Lin Zhentian and tried to assassinate Lin Hao at a young age, but in the end, Lin Zhentian ended up killing him.

Lin Hao's father was a magnanimous man, so he didn't continue to fuss about this. Lin Nantian disguised himself well and gained Lin Zhentian's trust and became the Grand Elder of the Lin family.

When Lin Hao's parents went missing, Lin Nantian's ambitions and hatred became clear for all to see.

Lin Nantian opened the entrance of the Ancestral Land. Lin Shan took ten people along with him as he walked towards the entrance.

At that moment...

There was a loud yell from afar!

"According to the teachings from the ancestors of the Lin family, those who are not the Patriarch's heir should be killed once they entered the Ancestral Land without permission!"

Everyone turned abruptly to look in the direction where the voice came from. They saw a young man running towards them at lightning speed. It didn't take long before he got to where they were.

The young man in question had a calm expression on his face. His eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright. There was a kind of resoluteness on his face as he held an ordinary long sword in his hand.

It was Lin Hao!
