Myth Beyond Heaven

Great Elder Lin shifted his gaze onto the lifeless Lin Changkong. His eyes turned cold as he said. "Lin Changkong! As a core elder, it should be your duty to prevent something like this from happening, but you actually support your son and nephew by concealing it. Not only have you disgraced yourself, but you also tainted our Lin clan with your evil act! I hereby declare Lin Changkong and his family will be removed from the Lin clan. Anyone who participates in this shall be killed!"

As Great Elder Lin's voice fell, the crowd sucked in a cold breath. Although they had expected Lin Changkong would pay with his life, killing his entire family wasn't something they thought of. Once again, Patriarch Lin and Great Elder Lin had displayed their ruthless side that could make anyone's heart chill.

When Lin Changkong heard this, he seemed to come back to life and used all of his strength to shout. "My family doesn't know anything. You can't do this!"

Great Elder Lin snorted coldly. "Whether they have something to do with this or not, I will investigate myself. Right now, you should tell me where is Lin Kai?"

Lin Changkong's face turned gray as though his soul had left him. He fell into silence and closed his eyes, unwilling to say anything further.

"You won't tell? Fine, I will find him sooner or later, anyway." Great Elder Lin's aura surged up as he waved his hand.

Before Great Elder Lin's power could hit him, Lin Changkong's eyes snapped open with a burst of mad laughter. "Hahaha! Lin Canghai! I'll wait for you down there. You'll definitely join me soon! Hahaha!!" His bloodshot eyes stared at Lin Canghai maliciously before his entire being turned into dust in the next moment. 

Lin Canghai opened his eyes and looked at the pile of dust beside Lin Zichen with a calm expression. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Meanwhile, a frown appeared on Lin Zihuang's face. Looked like this thing was not simple as it appeared to be. Lin Changkong definitely wasn't referring to Peng Haoye's threat. Even if Peng Haoye became the academy's principal, he could not do anything to Lin Canghai. Then why would he say that?

Great Elder Lin squinted his eyes, looking at Lin Changkong's remains for a moment before turning to an old man sitting below him. "Second Elder, go capture his family."

The old man, Second Elder, quickly bowed his head and left the hall under everyone's eyes.

"Patriarch, what are we going to do now?" Great Elder Lin asked.

Lin Canghai did not reply right away. He turned to his eldest son and said. "Zihuang, you contact Palace Master Han and tell her I will visit her tonight."

Lin Zihuang accepted the task readily and went out of the hall. He understood Lin Canghai's plan. It would be better to express their standing to Han Bingling in case she discovered it by herself later. At the same time, they could borrow Frozen Moon Palace's force to deal with the Peng clan.

Lin Canghai swept his gaze on everyone in the hall, causing everyone to straighten their body and look at him solemnly. "I hope all of you have learned a lesson from this incident."

The crowd glanced at each other and vowed they would never follow Lin Changkong's footsteps. Lin Canghai said nothing further and dispersed the crowd, leaving Lin Zihan, Lin Rui, Lin Ling'er, and Great Elder Lin behind.

"Patriarch, why don't we contact the Bai and the Qin clan. We're pretty much on the same side now. Wouldn't it be better to help each other?" Lin Zihan expressed his opinion. He was different from Lin Zichen as he never called Lin Canghai 'Father' like the latter.

Great Elder Lin held the same idea as Lin Zihan, but he knew it was difficult. The relationships between the Lin clan and the other two clans were always lukewarm. They weren't enemies nor allies. To take the initiative to contact them would reduce the Lin clan's prestige, but it wasn't anything ashamed to do so. Hence, Great Elder Lin left all the decisions in Lin Canghai.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Canghai nodded his head and said to Lin Zihan. "I'll leave this matter to you. You can contact them." He paused for a moment and continued. "Do you remember the young man who fought Lin Wuwei a month ago? If it's possible, you can try to get acquainted with him. We may get unexpected rewards later."

Lin Zihan's brows raised in surprise. Naturally, he heard about Yun Lintian and felt this young man was extraordinary. Coupled with an unknown connection with Han Bingling, Lin Zihan believed Yun Lintian would be the most dazzling star in this year's academy recruitment.

"Understood, Patriarch." Lin Zihan nodded.

Lin Canghai looked at his grandchildren with a rare kind smile. "Rui'er, Ling'er, both of you can befriend with him. If you can't, just don't be his enemy."

Lin Rui and Lin Ling'er replied in unison. "Yes, Grandfather."

***

At the Peng manor, Peng Huang and Peng Zheng were currently discussing the clan's business. Suddenly, both of them received a message from the spies within the Lin clan. They immediately looked at each other with surprised expressions.

"Lin Canghai is really ruthless. He didn't hesitate to abolish his son at all." Peng Huang took a sip of tea and leaned back in the chair.

Peng Zheng chuckled. "It's good for us. This time, they lose at least three Monarchs."

Peng Huang laughed slightly and changed the topic. "How's the progress?"

"They need around two years." Talking about this, Peng Zheng's facial expression turned serious at once.

"Two years? That's too long. If there's no mistake, that old immortal would probably step down this year. Can't they increase their speed?" Peng Zheng's eyebrows slanted in dissatisfaction.

Peng Zheng spread his arms. "Who would have thought Han Bingling was so decisive back then. All of their chess pieces were unexpectedly eradicated in one fell swoop. They have to come up with a new plan. Moreover, sending new people here is almost impossible now.. I really wonder how did Han Bingling know all of this."
