Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan

Chapter 62: Ancestral Formation, Nangong Yunyao's Guess!

"Fellow Daoist, do you happen to need a Golden Core Ninth Revolution Realm cultivator for your Lin family?" Nangong Yunyao looked at Lin Xuan with a serious expression.

Lin Xuan glanced at her and asked, "Are you planning to use me to block your family's power? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Nangong Yunyao was momentarily at a loss for words.

Lin Xuan gave her a meaningful look and continued, "Moreover, joining the Lin family? How would you join? Choose a Lin family disciple to marry?"

Nangong Yunyao shook her head. That was certainly not an option. She had left her family precisely to avoid arranged marriages.

"Fellow Daoist, do you need a maid?" Nangong Yunyao's eyes sparkled as she revealed her pearly teeth.

Lin Xuan chuckled and regarded Nangong Yunyao with a somewhat disdainful look.

"You, have you been reading mundane novels outside often?"

Nangong Yunyao heard this and looked at Lin Xuan with surprise, not understanding how he knew about this. After leaving her family, she had read a mundane novel by chance and had been obsessed with them ever since. Over the past thirty years, she had read about one novel per month.

"Indeed!"

Lin Xuan was taken aback for a moment but then felt it was only natural. "If you hadn't read so many novels and messed up your brain, how could you have entertained the idea of becoming someone's servant to escape trouble, as those novels suggest?

"That old man from the Mu family just claimed to be from an Eighth Rank power. Your family can form a marriage alliance with the Mu family, so there's really no need to antagonize an Eighth Rank power for the sake of a servant. Are you out of your mind or do you think I'm the one with a screw loose?" Lin Xuan's tone was unkind.

Nangong Yunyao was left somewhat dazed by the scolding. In her entire life, this was the first time someone had dared to scold her like this. A screw loose? Seriously, was she dumb!?

In the depths of her soul, three spots of light flickered, eager to spring into action. These were the life-saving trump cards her father had left her. One light contained one percent of his power. It might not seem like much, but Nangong Yunyao's father was a cultivator in the Seventh Realm of cultivation, a human powerhouse above the Unity Realm.

One percent of his power was comparable to a strike from a Unity Realm Supreme God.

Her father didn't want to increase the protective strength further because it was already at the limit her soul could bear. Stronger power might not only fail to protect her but also result in her soul disintegrating upon activation.

"I advise you to keep your head in check, or I won't mind having one more corpse here," Lin Xuan said coldly, looking at Nangong Yunyao.

Nangong Yunyao was shocked and only then realized that the fluctuations in her soul's power had almost unintentionally activated the trump card her father had given her.

Of course, this development made it clear that Lin Xuan had truly irritated this young lady. However, Nangong Yunyao, once she grasped the situation, stared at Lin Xuan as if there was something wrong with him.

If she remembered correctly, her father had assured her with unwavering confidence that beneath the Realm of Great Power, nobody could decipher the techniques she had mastered.

So, what was the deal with Lin Xuan before her eyes?

"You're a Great Power of Monster Race?"

Nangong Yunyao instinctively voiced her suspicion. However, she quickly shook her head.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. A Monster Race Great Power entering the human territory? The Ancestral Temple couldn't possibly remain oblivious. If it was an intrusion, the Ten Directions Guardian Ancestral Formation would have activated long ago, eliminating you! So, are you the reincarnation of a Monster Race Great Power?"

Nangong Yunyao rapidly deduced.

At her words, the people of Hongshan County wore expressions of utter confusion, clueless about how Fairy Yunyao had arrived at this conclusion seemingly out of thin air.

However, beside Lin Xuan, Lin Zhongba and Lin Ran exchanged glances. Concerning the mysterious qualities of their Grand Ancestor, the Lin family naturally had their speculations. The answers they had gathered coincided with Nangong Yunyao's deductions. It was highly plausible that their Grand Ancestor was the reincarnation of a Monster Race Great Power.

Hearing Nan Gong Yunyao's words, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. He had realized that this woman wasn't entirely without merit. At the very least, she knew many of the world's secrets.

In just a few words, he had been given ample room for imagination by this woman. However, in comparison to the trouble she could bring, Lin Xuan decided it was wise to keep his distance.

It wasn't that he was truly afraid of Nangong Yunyao's family. According to the widely known rules in this realm of cultivation, human Great Powers weren't allowed to venture beyond the core region without the approval of the Human Ancestral Temple. With the protection of Holy Descent, he had nothing to fear. It was merely that he wanted to avoid the trouble she might bring.

With this in mind, Lin Xuan flicked his tail, and before Nangong Yunyao could react, a tremendous force enveloped her. Then, without any warning, she transformed into a shooting star and was thrown far away.

"Finally, some peace and quiet. With this tail, she should end up tens of thousands of miles away," Lin Xuan said with a sense of mischief.

This method had occurred to him on a whim, and he hadn't expected it to work so well. Nangong Yunyao was a woman he couldn't afford to provoke at the moment, and while he could likely use Holy Descent to kill her, it wasn't worth it.

Killing her would lead to consequences, different from those arising from the previous confrontation with the Elder of the Mu family. The latter was an elder of an Eighth Rank power, whereas Nangong Yunyao was a young miss of an Eighth Rank power. The aftermath of killing her would be entirely different.

Within the inhabitants of Hongshan County, there was astonishment as they watched Fairy Yunyao being thrown out. Faces mirrored confusion; they were utterly perplexed. Lin Xuan's actions had taken them by surprise.

However, Lin Xuan didn't have the time to attend to them now. Enveloped in his mystical powers, Lin Ran and Lin Zhongba, the two of them, folded away their celestial techniques, transforming into streaks of light that shot up into the vast sky.

They raced swiftly in the direction of Tianyuan Prefecture.

"Nascent Soul, soon!"

This was Lin Xuan's premonition. With all the gains from this journey expended, he might be just one step away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

There was nothing more important than breaking through to the next realm.
