75: Wang Bufan, the proud leader of the Qinglan Sect

Lin Yuheng scanned the surroundings: "Where's Yongrong?"

Lin Yumo immediately replied: "Although Yongrong and I went out together, there were too many Yao Beasts at the time, so we split up. After all the Yao Beasts were cleared, I didn't see any trace of him."

Lin Yuheng glanced at Lin Yongmao: "Yongmao, you've also been in Cloud Mist Mountain this whole time, have you seen your cousin?"

Lin Yongmao shook his head, his expression very calm.

Lin Yumo said: "Big Brother, don't worry! Yongrong has already reached Foundation Establishment, so he surely won't encounter trouble he can't solve."

Lin Yuheng could only shake his head and temporarily put the matter aside.

Now, the Cloud Mist Mountain Lin Family was also entering a crucial period, and he didn't have that much time to worry about Lin Yongrong.

"Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'll go find my mother now," Lin Yongmao said.

Lin Yuheng said with a hint of worry: "You should go see her quickly! Your mother said her Dantian was injured from Cultivating, and she hasn't come out for a long time."

"Okay!"

Just as Lin Yongmao was about to return home, several figures appeared outside the Cloud Sky Spirit Array.

Judging by their attire, they were Qinglan Sect Disciples.

Lin Yongmao followed everyone's gaze and immediately clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could grind his molars to dust.

The few people in front of him were all familiar faces; Lin Yongmao's past self had a deep impression of them.

He had once become a Qinglan Sect Disciple, ostensibly a Disciple, but in reality, he was a hostage sent by the Lin Family to the Qinglan Sect.

It was these few people who bullied Lin Yongmao without a bottom line, even trying to kill him simply because he was too handsome, which led to the death of his previous self.

"Wang Bufan, Chen Dahao, Shi Lei."

He silently recited the names of these three people; it was these three who had tried to kill him back then.

Especially Wang Bufan, who stood at the very front. Although he wore a white robe, it couldn't hide his vulgar Aura and ugly face.

At this moment, he was staring at the Lin Family members with great interest.

Finally, he didn't forget to size up the 'revived' Lin Yongmao.

Wang Bufan was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qinglan Sect, and a rare Cultivating Prodigy in the Qinglan Sect in a hundred years.

It was said that his Spiritual Root Aptitude was a Heavenly Spiritual Root of the earth attribute.

Sect Leader Yuan Wang of the Qinglan Sect had once said in front of everyone that as long as Wang Bufan successfully reached Foundation Establishment, he would take him as a Personal Disciple.

However, the Lin Family members all sensed a faint pressure of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator emanating from Wang Bufan.

He had already successfully reached Foundation Establishment!

Cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Root talent could successfully reach Foundation Establishment without a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Wang Bufan was already an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qinglan Sect, so obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill was not difficult for him, making his Foundation Establishment not a hard task.

But he was still so young!

It truly made people furious to compare themselves to him; what others spent most of their lives accomplishing, he could achieve in just a few years.

Wang Bufan's Aura was overbearing. He stared into Lin Yuheng's eyes and said playfully: "Lin Family Clan Chief, your Lin Family was the first to send out a distress signal. The Sect Master sent us to reinforce you. So, have all the Yao Beasts been eliminated now?"

Wang Bufan had searched for a while in Cloud Mist Mountain and hadn't seen any Yao Beasts remaining, let alone any sign of a beast tide.

Lin Yuheng secretly thought, "Damn it," this Qinglan Sect was truly shameless. How long had it been since the distress signal was sent out, and they were only sending people now?

If it weren't for the Lin Family's protective array and Lin Yongmao's secret assistance, the Lin Family's main peak would probably have already fallen.

Now they came over pretending to be benevolent, even putting on an act of concern.

Lin Yuheng smiled: "Thanks to the Qinglan Sect, no second-tier Yao Beasts caused trouble in Cloud Mist Mountain, so our Lin Family successfully survived the beast tide."

Wang Bufan said indifferently: "Clan Chief Lin, our Qinglan Sect isn't so lucky. Third-tier Yao Beasts have even appeared in the beast tide. This beast tide must have been premeditated."

"The Qinglan Sect is powerful and will surely overcome this. These Yao Beasts will definitely be subdued."

Wang Bufan's tone carried a hint of threat: "Your Lin Family is truly impressive; you already have these two Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators here. Also, isn't this young brother one of our Qinglan Sect's Utility Disciples? Why is he appearing here now?"

After speaking, he pointed at Lin Yongmao.

Wang Bufan's unstated meaning was very clear: as an affiliated Family, the Lin Family had too many Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

Lin Yuheng, Lin Yucheng, and also Lin Yumo in front of them.

Three Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators in one Family, and who knew if there were more hidden!

Lin Yongmao was originally a Utility Disciple of the Qinglan Sect, but he feigned death and returned to his Family.

All of this was deception by the Lin Family towards the Qinglan Sect.

The Qinglan Sect did not like such disloyal affiliated Family forces.

Lin Yuheng's expression changed slightly: "Fellow Daoist Wang, please let me explain..."

Wang Bufan said sternly: "No need to say more. I will report all these matters truthfully to the Sect Master."

His gaze shifted to Lin Yongmao, and he continued: "He is a Utility Disciple of our Qinglan Sect. I will take him back now."

"No!"

Lin Yuheng and Lin Yumo spoke simultaneously.

They both knew that if they allowed Wang Bufan to take Lin Yongmao back to the Qinglan Sect, Lin Yongmao's fate would be clear.

But if they refused, it would be openly opposing the Qinglan Sect.

Lin Yuheng's expression was very conflicted. If they offended the Qinglan Sect, how could they survive in Qingyang!

Lin Yongmao showed no emotion, saying nothing. He just wanted to see the attitude of the Lin Family's Clan Chief.

If his Eldest Uncle (Clan Chief) truly handed him over, then he definitely wouldn't sit idly by and return to the Qinglan Sect with Wang Bufan.

Lin Yuheng pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "Our Lin Family does not need the Qinglan Sect's assistance. As for this nephew of mine, he was too severely injured last time and has not yet fully recovered, so he cannot accompany Fellow Daoist to the Qinglan Sect."

"Are you sure?"

Wang Bufan's face was filled with doubt. The Clan Chief in front of him was actually choosing to openly oppose the Qinglan Sect for the sake of a Family Disciple.

Did their Lin Family not want to live anymore?

Lin Yuheng lightly hummed "Mm" through his nose, representing his attitude, and also the attitude of the entire Lin Family.

"Hmph!"

Wang Bufan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left with the other Qinglan Sect Inner Sect Disciples.

...

After the Qinglan Sect Disciples left Cloud Mist Mountain.

Lin Yumo looked worried: "Big Brother, this act has completely offended the Qinglan Sect."

Lin Yuheng said sternly: "There is no reason to push a Family Disciple into a fire pit. I cannot do such a thing. Yongmao has already endured so much; this time, I must protect his safety."

Lin Yongmao cast a grateful look: "Thank you, Eldest Uncle."

Lin Yucheng sighed: "I naturally support Big Brother's decision, but how will our Lin Family manage itself from now on?"

"Don't be afraid, others don't know our Lin Family's true foundation..."
