Chapter 2168: Who Said He Died?
The Capital City!
In the villa where Lin Tiance resided, at this moment, he also received that news.
It was the news of the death of King Kunlun.
"Haha, this is great. The ancestors over there succeeded. After King Kunlun's death, let's see who can still protect those related to you and Lin Dong."
"No one will get away!"
Even though he still didn't know who the two mysterious figures that appeared in the Southern Capital and Demon City were.
But with King Kunlun dead, no matter who they were, they wouldn't be able to protect Lin Dong's women and subordinates.
No one will escape!
"I wonder if the Temple of the God of Murder has taken action yet? What was the result?" He recalled the 'bounty task' he had issued and went to check it.
Upon checking, he was immediately shocked.
Because it showed that the task had failed.
The Stage Five Grandmaster from the Temple of the God of Murder, whose 'Life Plate' was shattered, had actually died.
"The task actually failed? Who on earth is that mysterious person in the Southern Capital? It's terrifying that even a Stage Five Grandmaster couldn't come back."
Lin Tiance was very surprised.
It was also at this moment that a figure slowly emerged.
It was a withered old man, and even Lin Tiance treated him with utmost respect.
Because, he was one of the only two Ninth Level Grandmasters in the Lin Family from the Capital City. He was also the Sword Slave of his grandmother, the Old Patriarch of Lin Family.
He quickly paid his respects to the other.
"Young Master, the Old Patriarch is looking for you," the Sword Slave said with a smile.
He was just here to deliver a message!
Usually, a message wouldn't require the Sword Slave to come.
Once the Old Patriarch sends the Sword Slave to deliver a message, it undoubtedly means that this summons is significant, and surely something extremely important is at hand.
Lin Tiance quickly followed the Sword Slave to the ancestral shrine of the Lin Family from the Capital City. Soon, he saw the Old Patriarch of Lin Family in the temple in the Courtyard.
The entire Courtyard had only one person, the Old Patriarch of Lin Family, at the moment dressed in monk's clothes, with prayer beads in her hand, chanting Buddhist scriptures in her mouth.
Without turning around, she knew that Lin Tiance had arrived.
She stopped chanting, turned her head, and looked at her grandson, Lin Tiance.
"Grandma!" Lin Tiance hurriedly greeted her.
The Old Patriarch of Lin Family, with kind eyes and a gracious smile, said, "Tian Ce, since you returned from Kunlun, grandma hasn't summoned you formally, hasn't taken a good look at you."
Lin Tiance quickly said, "Grandma, I visited you a couple of days ago, but didn't find you there. Where did you go?"
Lin Tiance was somewhat puzzled; his grandmother hadn't left the ancestral home of the Lin Family in many years. How did she go out a few days ago?
"I went on a trip," the Old Patriarch of Lin Family said.
"Grandma actually went on a trip, I wonder where did grandma go?" Lin Tiance asked promptly.
"I visited a few old friends and also went to see a life-and-death battle of the Heavenly Realm level," the Old Patriarch of Lin Family said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Tiance appeared to be very shocked and wanted to ask more. However, the Old Patriarch of Lin Family interrupted his questioning.
Instead, she said to him, "Tian Ce, over at the Southern Capital and Demon City, stop for now. In the next two days, there is no need to take action against those people."
"What?" Hearing this, Lin Tiance was greatly alarmed.
He really didn't expect that the little actions he had been taking were actually all seen by his grandmother?
Being not in the Lin Family from the Capital City, but everything he did was known by his grandmother?
Only at this time did he profoundly realize the extent of the Old Patriarch of Lin Family's control over the Lin Family. At the same time, he also deeply understood the terror of this elder generation.
"Grandma, so you knew everything. Does that mean the ancestors over there know too?" Lin Tiance asked with some fear.
He was very afraid that these little actions of his would be discovered by the ancestors, fearing that they would punish him.
He had followed that ancestor to cultivate in Kunlun for a few months, and of course, he knew how terrifying they were. He couldn't bear their punishment.
The Old Patriarch of Lin Family smiled and said, "Don't worry, the ancestors over there wouldn't punish you. Since we already know what you've done and still let you continue, this means our stance."
"It means that we tacitly approve of what you are doing."
When Lin Tiance heard this, he was relieved.
"So, both the ancestor and grandma also want me to capture Master Lin's Woman. It seems grandma and the ancestor also believe that if we do not remove the roots, they will grow back again," Lin Tiance said with a somewhat smug expression on his face.
He thought that his thoughts were in line with those of the ancestors and the Old Patriarch of Lin Family and considered himself very clever.
However, the Old Patriarch of Lin Family shook her head and admonished, "Do you think that we allow you to capture Master Lin's Woman and kill his subordinates just for the sake of removing the roots?"
"Isn't it?" Lin Tiance asked back.
"Of course not. In our view, especially from the perspective of the ancestor, those Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, would they fear Lin Dong's few women? Would they fear his subordinates?"
"In their eyes, all ordinary beings, even ninety-nine percent of the martial artists in the world, are ants. They exist high above, like gods, would they fear the revenge of those ants?"
"Would they fear that if they don't crush those ants, those ants would threaten them years later? Of course not!"
"In their eyes, only a small number of people are worthy of them taking action, worthy of them removing the roots!"
"And this action is aimed at such people. First, there's King Kunlun. Although King Kunlun has not stepped into the level of the Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, he has achieved an unprecedented feat, which is breaking through to the realm of a Tenth Stage Grandmaster, becoming one who defies the heavens!"
"Such a person can threaten the life of the ancestors in the future. Therefore, he is the one that the ancestors must remove!"
"And now, King Kunlun is indeed dead."
"Besides King Kunlun, there is another person that the ancestors must kill. That is Master Lin!"
"Master Lin is only twenty-one years old, and truly calculating his cultivation time is only a few years. In just a few years, he has gone from being an ordinary person to reaching the realm of a Ninth Level Grandmaster. Such a cultivation speed, from ancient times to now, is unparalleled."
"And this is still during the Age of Dharma End, where spiritual energy is continuously declining. If such a person continues to be left unchecked, not to mention the ancestors, who in the whole of Kunlun can stop him?"
Hearing this, Lin Tiance asked in confusion, "Grandma, how does this situation relate to Lin Dong? Isn't he already dead?"
He was very perplexed, considering Lin Dong was already dead, why was his grandmother telling him this?
The Old Patriarch of Lin Family looked at him meaningfully, then said word by word, "Who says he is dead?"
Buzz~~~
Upon hearing this, Lin Tiance felt as if struck by thunder.
He couldn't help but tremble and said in a stuttering voice, "Grandma... Grandma, don't... don't joke, Master Lin, how could he not be dead?"
