Lin clan residence.
Of the Shenjing’s four great clans, the Su clan was the most flashy while the Lin clan the quietest. But when it came to power, it was the other way around.
“The men of Lin clan can only inherit the family business, they do not have the aptitude to cultivate. Only our women can train.”
In a shack, a hag with grizzled hair and hunched back was wobbling on her crutch as she preached. Lin Yourong and Lin Qingrou kneeled before a statue.
It was two meters tall humanoid, but instead of a head, it had a tail-like thing coming out of its neck and two eyes at the end.
Granny Lin kowtowed three times before it.
“I do not know who this Void Walker Ao Feili that man spoke of is. What I do now is that our Lin clan’s power is him, the Void Saint, Ancestor Ao.“
Lin Yourong said, “Granny, does that mean Li Mo is searching for our clan’s Exalted One?”
Granny Lin shook her head.
“I do not know. Great Ancestor Ao’s only answered our questions with silence for many years. He may have forgotten about us.”
Lin Yourong said, “Granny, what is great Ancestor Ao’s connection to our clan?”
Lin Qingrou was quite curious as well.
In fact, Li Mo’s guess was wrong. Lin Qingrou’s Void Palm and other void arts weren’t passed on from Void Walker Ao Feili, but from Lin Qingrou’s great great aunt, Lin Yunqing.
“It’s a long story. None of the men in our clan know of it. Ironic how they think of themselves as the pillars of the clan with their business acumen when in truth, the Lin clan women moved in the shadows.” Granny Lin mocked.
“If we are to speak of Ancestor Ao and our clan’s connection, we will have to go back three generations. That is six generations since Qingrou.
“Our clan has immense gratitude for Ancestor Ao. He has helped us in our most needed hour. He rescued our clan’s ancestor and then signed an agreement with her.
“A master-servant agreement.
“Ancestor Ao pasted on to our women a cultivation method under the condition to always obey his orders. Yourong, Qingrou, Ancestor Ao hasn’t appeared for ages, but obeying his orders is our clan’s rule. You are to keep this in mind, always.”
Lin Qingrou asked, “We are to obey no matter what Ancestor Ao says?”
“Yes!”
Lin Qingrou was apprehensive.
“We do not know of Void Walker Ao Feili that junior speaks of, but he did mention Void Walker and void arts. He clearly knows something about our hidden power. “
“We cannot allow him to live!”
“But granny, he’s too strong. Not even me and aunt can match him.”
“Leave it to me!” Granny Lin sneered and was gone, leaving her voice to echo, “Before I return, none of you are to leave this shrine. The shrine must always be under a Lin woman’s protection at all times. This is our respect to Ancestor Ao, as well as to welcome his arrival. Do you understand?”
“Crystal!”
…
“Bro Mo, this is the latest Starscape login device. You just need to put it on and you can see the other’s hp. It’s just like a health bar.”
Du Fei was excited as he showed Thunderstruck Enterprise’s latest Starscape login device.
Li Mo tried it on and, true enough, he saw a health bar.
“Humanity’s intelligence is not to be underestimated…” Li Mo sighed.
“Yep, bro Mo, the bosses want to send us on another mission three days from now. We even got tickets.”
“Xixiang Province?”
A sudden idea crossed Li Mo’s mind as he saw Du Fei’s plane ticket.
“What’s up, bro Mo?”
“Something big, I’m afraid.”
“Huh, is the instance too difficult?”
“Extremely.”
“Deadly?”
“90%.”
“No way…”
“Get ready, I’m going on ahead.” Li Mo vanished.
Xixiang was a place of thick yin qi since antiquity. The Earth’s last secret laid hidden here.
A time-space rupture appearing there meant it was connected to this last great secret. Li Mo was forced to act at once, in fear of having the situation spin out of control.
Bam!
Li Mo came out from a Gate when a dried up palm struck him.
Li Mo returned the attack with the same coin. The two palms met and the space cracked around them!
“Youngster, your savagery is warranted by your peak fifth level power.”
Granny Lin appeared holding a crutch.
“Who are you?”
“I am Void Walker Ao Feili, runt. Didn’t you want to kill me? Here I am!”
Li Mo’s face fell.
“You’re from the Lin clan?”
“Smart. I am Lin clan’s head, runt. Don’t go into thinking you can do what you want at peak fifth level. Before me, Lin Yunqing, you do not qualify to be arrogant.”
“Old hag, I told your clan to hand over Void Walker Ao Feili so as to not watch the Earth fall under the swarm of aliens coming from deep within the universe. Why do you keep on spouting runt? You think seniority is tantamount to right?”
Li Mo was angry.
“We do not know this Ao Feili you speak of. I wouldn’t usually mind such matter, but for you to know of my clan Void Palm and void art, you must die!”
Granny Lin flashed behind Li Mo and struck. Li Mo retaliated as he turned around, but the granny withdrew her attack and appeared behind him again. This time, her palm made Li Mo stagger a few times before tumbling on the ground.
“You dare mess with our clan with your meager skill? Runt, you must have a death wish.”
Granny Lin vanished again.
Bang!
Her attacks were bizarre, shifting positions in an instant. She thought Li Mo was still defenceless, only to find her second attack hit nothing and Li Mo’s palm hitting her face. She had to spit two teeth out…
“Runt, I’ll kill you!”
Granny Li was enraged, slipping into the void…
Crack~
Cracks appeared in the air and Li Mo stepped out of there, just as a hundred meter area of space behind him collapsed…
This was Void Shatter, capable of making mince meat out of even Du Fei’s Sacred Light Physique.
“I’ll definitely kill you!”
Granny Lin’s cold voice came from the air.
