Chapter 319: Mystery of Lin Xun’s Life Experience

Translator: Flying Lines

The wind in the upper air was so strong that it hurt skin like sharp blade.

With the old man’s help, Lin Xun experienced flying in the void for the first time.

In the distance, the range of rolling clouds was vast. Looking down, mountains looked like rocks, lakes appeared like drops of water and the city was like a well-organized chessboard. All the things on the earth seemed to be extremely small.

The feeling of overlooking the world opened Lin Xun’s mind. The anger caused by the sudden attack also dissipated.

“Both Queen and I know there was a campaign to stop you from going to the Forbidden City, but we couldn’t lend you a hand. It was a test for you alone.”

The old man opened his mouth and his words shocked Lin Xun, making Lin regain his consciousness from sceneries.

“You’ve probably speculated that if Chi Family really wants to kill you, they just need to send a Sea Spirit Realm man. They didn’t need to make so much unnecessary moves.”

Although the old man’s words were harsh, he told the truth. Lin Xun had guessed this before, but he couldn’t count the reason.

Maybe it was because Lin Xun had passed the test, the old man became frank and didn’t cover the truth any more.

“Why they did this?”

Lin Xun couldn’t help asking.

“It’s all for your life experience”

The old man’s voice was gentle and deep. Lin Xun was stiff all over by this few words. Thousands thoughts came to his mind.

Did the old man finally tell the truth?

Lin Xun had been looking for it for a long time. He was so eager for the truth. On the day when he came out of Mine Prison, he firmly went to Ziyao Empire in order to figure out his own life experience.

If he knew his life experience, he would now be stolen of his spiritual vein!

“Please tell me, sir.”

Lin Xun took a deep breath and asked earnestly.

The old man looked complicated somehow. He nodded after a while, “I promised you that I will tell you the truth when you enter the Forbidden City. Now, it’s the time.”

“Your father is Lin Wenjing. He is an influential man of Lin Family in the Forbidden City. He has great talent and power that was high regarded by all his family members. So he became the first successor to take over the power of Lin Family without any suspense.”

Lin Wenjing!

Lin Family!

Lin Xun repeated it in his heart and kept silent.

“Your mother is Luo Qingxun. She was born in a poor family and her parents died early, leaving her alone.”

“But she was so smart and showed an extraordinary talent for practicing when she was still young. By coincidence, she began her road of practicing.”

“From then on, she passed County Test, State Test, Province Test and Nation Test. Then she entered Green-deer School smoothly. If I’m not wrong, she should be the first place of the Nation Test 17 years ago.”

“By the way, your father took the second place after your mother.”

Hearing this, Lin Xun could not help becoming excited. It turned out his mother was so powerful!

Although she was born in a humble and poor family, she was able to win the highest honor in the Nation Test! She was like a legend!

Lin Xun was very clear about how hard it was to have such a glory in a short time if someone was short of supporting.

It was obvious that his mother, who he never met, was also a legendary woman that could compare to a powerful man!

The old man’s gentle voice brought the past stories one by one.

After passing the Nation Test, Luo Qingxun and Lin Wenjing entered Green-deer School together.

In their second year in Green-deer School, they fell in love with each other. They wanted to get married, but were opposed by Lin Family.

Lin Wenjing was noble and represented the dignity of Lin Family since he was regarded as the successor of the Lin family. However, Luo Qingxun’s origin was poor so she was not match for Lin Wenjing’s identity although she was hardworking in practicing.

Luo Qingxun could only be a concubine of Lin Wenjing instead of his wife if they married.

Lin Wenjing refused this suggestion firmly and chose to be with Luo Qingxun regardless of all resistance, which made many members of Lin Family completely angry and want to remove Lin Wenjing’s qualification of being a successor.

In the end, Lin Wenjing’s father stood forward. He stopped arguments of Lin Wenjing and Luo Qingzhen and made a compromise to this couple.

This disturbance had been resolved as Lin Wenjing and Luo Qingxun finally came together, and they seem to be the happiest couple in the Forbidden City in people’s eyes.

After a few years, when Luo Qingxun was about to give birth to a baby after 10 months pregnancy, a disaster came!

The old man’s voice became lower when the story came to here.

Lin Xun’s was also nerves. He had guessed that since the murderer had taken away his spiritual vein, the disaster must have been happened when he was just born!

“It was so sudden at that time that almost no one understood what happened when you were born, but it was certain that your father Lin Wenjing was killed on the spot on the night of your birth and your mother was missing right away. Lin Family was completely in a great turmoil after this disaster.”

The old man said slowly, “Later came the news that your father’s lineal relatives were all killed that night and none of them survived.”

Hearing this, Lin Xun was seized by an unspeakable pain in his heart. Although he never met his parents and he even had no feelings about them, he couldn’t bear this bad news when he knew about their sufferings.

He thought that he might have a family reunion if his parents were alive.

He even had a grudge in heart, wanting to ask his parents why they did nothing when his spiritual vein was stolen.

Now, learning that his father Lin Wenjing had been killed at night and his mother was lost, Lin Xun felt a sharp pain in his heart. His chest was like been miserable strike by a huge stone after knowing his father’s lineal relatives had been killed.

He pressed his lips tightly, clenched his fists quietly and resisted the rolling emotions in his heart.

“Who is the murderer?”

Lin Xun opened his mouth. His voice became hoarse as these words were squeezed out of his chest.

“Yun Qingbai.”

The old man’s eyes were full of complexity.

“Why… Why he did this? ”

Lin Xun’s voice trembled. It seemed that he was no longer able to control his anger.

“No one knows.”

The old man sighed.

Lin Xun was stunned.

The old man continued, “Yun Qingbai is not Ziyao Empire’s practitioner at all. He is from a mysterious sect named Clan of Heaven-accessing Sword.”

Lin Xun was a little confused when he heard this name, “What’s the Clan of Heaven-accessing Sword?”

It was the first time he had heard of this name. It was so strange for him.

“The old man nodded his head,” Clan of Heaven-accessing Sword was on the top of Qingming. It was an ancient and incomparable domain with many Taoism.”

Speaking of this, the old man stopped his explanation, “You just need to remember that Yun Qingbai has a powerful background. The force Clan of Heaven- accessing Sword behind him even frightens the top figures of the Empire.”

Lin Xun was silent.

Yun Qingbai! Clan of Heaven-accessing Sword!

Lin Xun remembered these two names of one person and one sect!

He was sure that it was Yun Qingbai who stole away his spiritual vein Devouring Abyss!

“Anyway, I’ll find you…”

Lin Xun seemed extremely calm at this moment. He didn’t show any feelings after hearing these stories, which was extremely abnormal for a young man to behave like this.

The old man was also acutely aware of this. He was also surprised by Lin Xun’s performance. At first, he thought Lin Xun would not be able to bear the blow, and his mood might be out of control.

But all of this didn’t come into being. On the contrary, Lin Xun was even calmer than the old man at the moment. It was incredible!

The old man was slightly stunned but he regained his mind and said, “Now, you know your life experience.”

Lin Xun nodded and thanked, “Thank you for telling me my life experience. I will never forget your kindness.”

The old man sighed in his heart and didn’t say much. He was not adapted to Lin Xun in front of him, who was like to be another man.

“This elder, is Chi Family block my way to the Forbidden City because of my life experience?”

Lin Xun suddenly asked.

The old man shook his head, “The reason is not so simple. It both related to your life experience and the Lin family behind you.”

Lin Xun was shocked, “What’s wrong with Lin family?”

The old man said, “When Lin Family was devastated, the patriarch, your grandfather, was killed by others. Even your father, the heir, was also killed. Lin family was soon involved in a fierce civil commotion because of the absence of leadership.”

“Under such circumstances, Lin Family was like a meat. Some of the top forces in the Forbidden City take this opportunity to divide the family property and resources that originally belonged to your Lin Family, which totally damaged Lin Family and made it fall into a state of dilapidation.”

Lin Xun’s heart was suddenly filled with unspeakable anger, “What’s the difference between them and robbers as they took advantage of the disaster and plundered the resources of Lin Family?! Didn’t all the clansmen of the Lin family try their best to resist? ”

A sneer rose on the old man’s lips, “They only focus on internal struggle and power struggle. How can they resist the annexation of those aristocratic families?”

“The saddest thing is that in order to seize power, many clansmen of the Lin Family had long been in collusion with those aristocratic families to divide the industry and resources of the Lin Family.”

Hearing that, Lin Xun’s anger was about to burst out. His father and grandfather were dead, his mother was missing. But those clansmen didn’t revenge for their patriarch and fight for their family. Instead, they fought for power and profits, and even collaborated with enemies to carve up the property belonging to the Lin family. They were unforgivable!

Seeing that there was a haze in Lin Xun’s face, the old man couldn’t help sighing, “This is the fate of the aristocratic family. When its family lost the pillar, it was destined to be the food of his opponents. Everyone wanted to bite it for nutrition and wished it would be destroyed totally without rising chance. This was the best result the opponents liked to see.”
