Lin Zhong led Lin Xun to Treasure House, another forbidden area of the Lin Family.

There were five parts in the Treasure House, which contained all kinds of spiritual tools from the lowest human level to the highest heaven level.

Among them, there were different weapons such as swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, as well as spiritual tools like shoulder guards, wrist guards, boots and breast protector.

There were some other powerful weapons as short crossbows, gun crossbows and battleships.

But now, it was empty here…

When Lin Xun came out of the Treasure House, he let out a horrible killing intent around his body although his expression didn’t change any.

His anger was almost out of control!

Let’s imagine how amazing the treasures would be stored by a top power that once in the top ranking families of the Empire?

But now, it was all ransacked!

Lin Xun would have vomited blood and died if his mind hadn’t been honed hard. The ancestor of Lin Family would not die in peace if he saw this scene.

After leaving the Treasure House, Lin Xun was taken to all the core forbidden areas of Lin Family such as Pill Pavilion, Beast Yard and Plant Garden.

Without exception, all valuable treasures in it had been swept away.

When Lin Xun returned to Heart-cleansing Hall, he sat alone motionless like a silent sculpture without any emotion.

Out of the hall, the moon hung up high in the sky and stars were bright. Everything was quiet.

The young people sitting alone in the hall born turbulence in his mind and he could not subsided it for a long time.

He could foresee that the present Lin Family was in decline, but he did not expect that the whole Heart-cleansing Peak would be ransacked completely!

There was only a pile of empty houses and furnishings left, and nothing else valued.

This was the tough situation he should face!

Lin Zhong stood at the side of the hall and looked at Lin Xun with worry that Lin Xun could not face the reality but completely lost his morale.

Such a big Heart-cleansing Peak, one of the 72 Mountains of Aristocracy that represented supreme glory, had nothing valuable things in it.

15 minutes passed

Half an hour passed

An hour passed

…

As time went on, Lin Xun was silent all the time, which made Lin Zhong worried more. He felt regretted telling Lin Xun these things tonight at this very moment.

His young master was only a teenager after all. He was too young to take over such a mess. How could he suffer such cruel attack?

“Young master…”

Lin Zhong took a deep breath to comfort Lin Xun, “We can… we can give up the plan. Nothing is important than your life. ”

Lin Xun, who was like a clay sculpture, finally had a reaction.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Zhong with a meaningful smile on his lips, “Granddad Zhong, you’d better kill me if you let me give up the plan at this moment. I have no choice right now.”

After a pause, he stood up and looked at the vast night outside the hall. He said, “When I went into the Forbidden City, someone told me that I could make a great deal of trouble as I want. At that time, I wondered why he would say this. Now I finally understand that if I don’t make some troubles, there’s no hope for Lin Family of resurrection! ”

At the end of the speech, a piece of chill appeared in his voice.

Lin Zhong was shocked. Looking at the young man in the distance, he suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable peace in mind as if he saw the posture of his master when he was young.

At that time, his master Lin Weijing married Qingxun under the opposition of all the people, with the same determined will.

Struggle to make it even though thousand people are against it!

…

Heart-cleansing Hall was very large. It was divided into three floors.

On the first floor was the hall for holding clan meetings.

The second floor was a study room specially set up for the patriarch to deal with clan affairs.

The third floor was a quiet room for the patriarch to practice.

Before long, Lin Xun sat in front of the empty desk in the study room, rubbing a crystal purple seal.

The seal was engraved with the word Heart-cleansing. Its whole body was made of unknown materials, which was filled with a mysterious and obscure breath.

This seal was the key to master Heart-cleansing Hall. Only by mastering it could one open the channels in Heart-cleansing Peak.

That was to say, if Lin Xun closed the channel, no one could enter Heart-cleansing Hall without his permission unless he broke in!

However, as one of the 72 peaks, anyone who wanted to break in should consider the consequences first.

This thing was originally kept by Lin Zhong, but now it was handed over to Lin Xun. It meant that from now on, regardless of other clan power, Lin Xun had the only right to control the channels of Heart-cleansing Peak.

But in Lin Xun’s opinion, this thing could not play a role in solving internal problems. The key was his strength!

Thinking of this, Lin Xun put away Heart-cleansing Seal and took out a simple silver hairpin.

This was given by Shu Sanchi, the general instructor, when he left Bloodthirsty Camp. He told Lin Xun that he could take this thing to Vulture House if he met trouble in Forbidden City. Its owner would help Lin Xun at that time.

At first, Lin Xun didn’t want to accept it. However, Shu Sanchi’s another word changed his mind, “Young Ke is also there. Don’t you want to see your instructor again?”

Now, he thought of beautiful Young Ke as he took the silver hairpin in his hand. Young Ke’s character was really cold but she was really kind to him.

…

Early in the next morning

Lin Xun, who had not slept all night, got up and walked out of Heart-cleansing Hall.

The rising sun spray golden luster on the clouds, making Heart-cleansing Hall bathed in a sacred atmosphere.

Looking from the top of the mountain, the golden morning light and purple clouds mingled in the distance. They were magnificent and brilliant. The great atmosphere between the heaven and the earth inspired Lin Xun’s spirit.

This was Heart-cleansing Hall, one of 72 peaks, standing on the 300 meters void of the Forbidden City, the capital of the Empire!

Only the most powerful aristocratic families of the empire could occupy one and overlook the mountains and rivers at this height!

“Young master, don’t you really need my company?”

“No, Granddad Zhong, when I come back, please place the list of all the extorted treasures in the study room in advance.”

“Yes, young master.”

Lin Xun said goodbye to Lin Zhong and walked down alone.

There were many chariots drawn by snow deer on the way to the bottom of the peak. However, after the bloody event of that year, those snow deer were robbed too.

This looting was like scraping the ground. Lin Xun born an unspeakable hatred in his heart when he thought about it.

Buzzing!

At the bottom of the peak, as spiritual formation worked, an invisible door emerged and a white jade ladder swept out like a rainbow, connecting the ground 300 meters down.

When Lin Xun just walked out, he stopped there.

Because there was already some people waiting him on the ground!

It was a group of young people, including men and women. They were all dressed in nice and expensive clothes. At first sight, Lin Xun knew that they were not ordinary people.

They were obviously waiting here for quite a few times and they were all looking impatient and swearing.

When they saw Lin Xun’s appearance, they were refreshed and looked at Lin Xun at the same time. However, when they saw clearly that Lin Xun was only a teenager, someone immediately disdained Lin Xun.

“Lin Wenxiu, this suckling boy is what you call a ruthless man?”

“Tut Tut, unexpectedly, you were defeated by him.”

“Yujiao, don’t be angry. No matter who he is, since he dared to hit you, I will take off his arms!”

Lin Xun noticed that there were several young people in the crowd who he had met last night. At this time, they all looked at him bitterly.

Someone came to avenge?

When the thought flashed through his mind, Lin Xun denied it quickly. He noticed that although the young people were shouting fiercely, no one dared to take action immediately.

They were not afraid of Lin Xun, but they couldn’t disobey the yellow-dressed man in front of them.

This man was tall. His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were sharp as lightning. As he stood there at will, a momentum of dignity overwhelmed.

Heaven-gang Realm people!

In a flash, Lin Xun got to know the man’s strength from his momentum. It was generally clear that the man in yellow should be an outstanding disciple in a collateral branch of the Lin Family.

“Yujiao, is he Lin Xun?”

The man in yellow looked at Lin Xun coldly. Although his voice was calm, he was aggressive.

“Brother Yingzhen. It’s him.”

Lin Yujiao clenched her teeth and her eyes were full of resentment. Her pretty face was still red and swollen that was covered by a piece of gauze, but the bruise on the corner of her eyes couldn’t be covered.

“I see. Step back first.”

When the man in yellow gave an order, he strode forward to the bottom of the white jade ladder and looked up at Lin Xun at the end of the ladder. “I’m Lin Yingzhen from Westbrook. I heard that you threatened to occupy Heart-cleansing Peak?”

Lin Yingzhen!

The Lin Family in Westbrook!

In an instant, Lin Xun thought of Lin Zhong’s words last night. It turned out that after the four main collateral branches of the Lin family were moved out, they were divided into Westbrook, Floating-cloud, Flying-peak and North-light.

They live in different areas of the Forbidden City like four independent Lin Clans. They had complex relations than cooperation.

All these were the results of the family fighting after the bloody events.

Lin Yingzhen came from Westbrook, the descendants of Westbrook Lin, the second great-uncle of Lin Xun.

Lin Xun didn’t want to claim relatives at all. As other people appeared to look for troubles, he didn’t want to maintain his politeness.

“You are wrong.”

Lin Xun smiled and claimed, “I didn’t threaten to occupy the Heart-cleansing Peak, the fact is, from now on, not any cat or dog can go into Heart-cleansing Peak at will.”

Cat and dog?

Many people’s face changed sharply as they heard Lin Xun’s words. They scolded in succession that Lin Xun was too rampant and reckless!

Lin Yingzhen’s face was longed too. He waved to stop people scolding and stared at Lin Xun fiercely, “You are too arrogant. I don’t know who make you think about this. But I have to advise you not to mistake that you’re qualified to control Heart-cleansing Peak!”
