124: Lin Xuanbo comes out of retreat

The members of the Lin Family watched Sect Leader Yuan Wang's ferocious expression, and their hearts sank.

Lin Yuheng hastily said, “Everyone, quickly withdraw and return to the main peak.”

Only Lin Yuheng, the current Clan Chief, knew that on the main peak, they still had hidden reserves that could preserve the Lin Family's last trace of Bloodline.

Upon hearing this, the Lin Family members immediately began running towards the main peak, fearing that remaining there would make them lambs to the slaughter once the Formation was broken.

Lin Yuheng saw that Lin Yongmao had not moved, so he said, “Yongmao, you are the hope of our Lin Family; you should also leave quickly!”

Lin Yongmao’s mouth slightly opened, wanting to say something, but he held back and also planned to withdraw.

As the saying goes: where there is Life, there is hope.

He indeed had no need to take this risk.

The Ironclad Thunder Ape did not give the Lin Family members time to discuss; it was still continuously controlling the thunderclouds.

Control Thunder and Lightning.

Numerous lightning strikes attacked the Cloud Sky Spirit Array and the Mountain River Qi Gathering Formation; the two great Formations were now on the verge of collapse, ready to shatter at any moment.

Yuan Wang also began to make hand seals.

At this critical moment, a gentle but powerful voice startled everyone.

“Do you really think my Lin Family has no one left?”

Lin Yongmao's expression brightened; he was all too familiar with this voice—it was his grandfather, Lin Xuanbo.

Lin Xuanbo had achieved a Breakthrough!

The Lin Family had produced a Golden Core Stage Cultivator!

With the aid of various Medicinal Pills and thousand-year Spirit Medicine, after more than half a month, Lin Xuanbo successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm.

Although he had not yet fully consolidated his current Realm, upon sensing the Lin Family's crisis, he immediately emerged from seclusion.

Lin Xuanbo looked at Lin Yuheng, who was directing everyone to withdraw, and said, “Let this old man command the Formation; you lead the Family members to retreat!”

Lin Yuheng quickly presented the Formation Plate and led the Lin Family members back to the main peak of Cloud Mist Mountain.

Lin Xuanbo's entire demeanor had undergone a tremendous change; this was the result of a major Realm Breakthrough.

Originally, he looked like an old man nearing fifty, but now he resembled a middle-aged man full of vigor and spirit.

With a major Realm Breakthrough, Lifespan would also change accordingly.

The Qi Refinement Stage Realm was no different from a Mortal.

The Foundation Establishment Stage Realm had two hundred years of Lifespan, double that of a Mortal.

And the Golden Core Stage Realm had five hundred years of Lifespan.

Currently, Lin Xuanbo already had five hundred years of Lifespan and was no longer troubled by Lifespan limitations.

The Lin Family once again displayed a thriving and prosperous atmosphere.

Holding the Formation Plate, Lin Xuanbo's surging spiritual power stabilized the energy shields of the two Formations.

His gaze fixed on Yuan Wang, and he slowly spoke, “Sect Leader Yuan, what is the meaning of this?”

Yuan Wang looked at the suddenly appearing Lin Xuanbo, also revealing a look of disbelief; wasn't it said that this old fellow had passed away?

Why was he here, and his cultivation was the same as his, having also achieved a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage?

Yuan Wang quickly regained his normal expression and said, “Your Lin Family killed a large number of my Qinglan Sect Cultivators; this time, this Sect has come to demand an explanation.”

Lin Xuanbo did not humor Yuan Wang and said, “If Sect Leader Yuan thinks my Lin Family has no Golden Core Stage Cultivators, then I apologize, but we can have a good contest.”

Seeing Yuan Wang and Lin Xuanbo chatting so excitedly, the Ironclad Thunder Ape became angry.

“What are you two talking nonsense about? Are you fighting or not?”

Yuan Wang was considering whether or not to withdraw when he was suddenly roared at by the Ironclad Thunder Ape, and his mind became a bit flustered.

Now, the Lin Family was indeed no longer an entity that the Qinglan Sect could easily bully.

With this newly advanced Golden Core Stage Lin Xuanbo, the Lin Family would be secure for the next few hundred years.

The three parties were in a standoff, no longer a unified front.

The Ironclad Thunder Ape didn't care so much; lightning strikes continuously hit the Formation's energy shield, and the atmosphere on the scene grew tense again.

Lin Xuanbo injected a large amount of spiritual power into the Formation Plate.

Immediately, the Formation Plate of the Cloud Sky Spirit Array erupted with a brilliant light.

Boundless clouds and mist continuously formed.

Cloud Mist Pervasion.

Turning defense into offense, Lin Xuanbo made his move, and boundless clouds and mist surrounded the Yao Beast horde and the Qinglan Sect Disciples.

These clouds and mist were not without substantial harm; one by one, water droplets condensed on their bodies, and even their movements became significantly heavier.

It was equivalent to a crowd control Spell.

Although it wasn't a hard control, it played a full control role.

It was like a person who couldn't swim suddenly drowning in water.

“Yucheng, Yumo, Yongmao, do your best and kill as many as you can.”

With Lin Xuanbo’s words, the three of them were full of confidence and quickly unleashed their respective signature Spells.

Lin Yongmao continuously cast the combination of Leaf Flying Sword and Sword Shadow Dividing Light Technique; wherever the leaf blades went, a large head would roll, whether it was a Qi Refinement Stage or Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, whether it was a first-order Yao Beast or a second-order Yao Beast.

He also used Divided Soul control to drive the Nanming Li Fire; the supreme Yang flames transformed into the form of the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird, igniting the Physical Body of Cultivators or Yao Beasts.

Lin Yongmao's attack methods were extremely overbearing, and he was also the one who killed the most enemies.

In contrast, Lin Yucheng and Lin Yumo appeared much more normal, each casting second-order Spells, struggling to kill the Yao Beasts or Qinglan Sect Cultivators present.

Yao Beasts and Qinglan Sect Cultivators continuously died, most of them killed by Lin Yongmao.

As the two great leaders, the Ironclad Thunder Ape and Yuan Wang had both begun to entertain thoughts of retreating.

Their losses were simply too great.

First-order Yao Beasts, second-order Yao Beasts, or Qinglan Sect Disciples, all died under Lin Yongmao's attacks.

Now they had no choice but to retreat.

If they couldn't break the Formation in a short time, then both of their teams would be completely devoured by the attacks within the Formation.

“Retreat!”

Both the Qinglan Sect and the beast tide retreated in a sorry state.

At the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain, a large number of Yao Beast carcasses and Cultivator bodies were left behind.

Some Lin Family members who had not yet managed to retreat burst into joyful applause.

Lin Xuanbo waved his hand, “Everyone, exit the Formation! The spoils of war outside belong to whoever gets them.”

As for pursuing the two teams, Lin Xuanbo had no such idea; the Lin Family's foundation was still too weak.

Some Lin Family members who hadn't had time to retreat were very happy, not expecting such benefits.

The deceased Qinglan Sect Cultivators all had Storage Pouches on them, and Yao Beasts were treasures from head to toe.

Lin Yongmao naturally wouldn't miss this good opportunity and was the first to exit the Formation.

His target was the Rampage Thunder Lion's corpse; this was a Yao Beast he had personally killed, so this spoil of war naturally belonged to him.

Lin Yongmao came before the Rampage Thunder Lion's corpse and put its entire body into his Storage Pouch.

As for the Physical Bodies of other low-level Yao Beasts and the Storage Pouches of Qinglan Sect Disciples, he left them to the other Family members.

Although Lin Yongmao contributed the most, he also understood the principle of sharing the benefits.
