Chapter 180: Unstable Status? The Secret of Duan De

"What! Those two guys appeared again?!"

After two more tombs in the Lin Family were raided by Wu Yifan and Duan De, Lin Xukun finally received the news, his face filled with rage.

He did not expect that after the other party had disappeared for so long, they would immediately make off with the funeral objects from two tombs the moment they reappeared.

"Damn it, search for them! Furthermore, they will definitely strike at our Lin Family Old Ancestor's tombs again. Arrange for an Immortal King to guard every single tomb. If they appear, you must make sure to keep them here!"

Lin Xukun ordered the subordinates his father had left for him, his own expression looking extremely ugly.

He had made so many preparations, yet they had still managed to openly raid two Old Ancestor tombs. If he let them succeed again, would he still be worthy of being the Young Lord of the Lin Family?

Moreover, Lin Xukun also knew that since he took over this matter, he had allowed Wu Yifan and Duan De to succeed so many times. He feared that many Elders in the clan were already harboring resentment toward him.

Although his father was the Lin Family Head, the Lin Family was not his father's personal fiefdom; there were many who wished for his father to step down so they could become the Lin Family Head.

He absolutely could not let his father down.

Just then, an Immortal Venerable Elder, whom his father had previously arranged to assist him, came to his side and spoke.

"Young Lord, there are now fewer than a hundred Old Ancestor tombs left in our clan. If the number continues to decrease, I fear those old fogies will stand up and impeach the Lin Family Head."

Upon hearing the Elder's words, Lin Xukun's heart grew even more restless, but he quickly thought of something and let out a cold snort.

"I remember that our Lin Family has hundreds of Immortal Sovereign experts, right? In that case, mobilize all the Immortal Sovereigns and have them hide around the Old Ancestor tombs. If the other party dares to come, then we shall ensure they never return!"

"But, if we mobilize so many Immortal Sovereign experts, I fear there will be significant opposition within the clan," the Elder said with some hesitation.

But Lin Xukun's tone was even firmer.

"Hmph, this is no longer a matter of whether they agree or not. It concerns the face of our Lin Family. Unless they want our Lin Family to lose all face, they will never reject my decision. Furthermore, I have the Lin Family Head's warrant; who would dare disobey?"

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Venerable Elder said nothing more and turned to carry out the mobilization.

The situation was just as the Immortal Venerable Elder had guessed. Upon learning that Lin Xukun actually intended to mobilize all the Immortal Sovereigns, the Immortal Venerable experts in the clan immediately gathered for a meeting!

Lin Tianen sat in the seat of the Lin Family Head with an extremely ugly expression. He had just been planning to go into seclusion to attempt a Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor, but before his seat was even warm, he received the news and had to come out for a meeting.

"Lin Family Head, is it really okay to leave this matter to Lin Xukun? Five full years have passed. Back then, he swore confidently that he would definitely capture those two thieves and bring them back within a year. But now, he has let our Old Ancestors, who died fighting for the Lin Family, have no peace even in death. Moreover, the original incident was caused by Lin Xukun. It can be said that if not for Lin Xukun, this matter would not have happened at all. So, Lin Family Head, what do you intend to do?"

Just then, an Elder sitting to the left of Lin Tianen let out a cold snort, his tone full of malice toward Lin Tianen.

He was Lin Tianen's Cousin, Lin Tianyu, who had previously competed with Lin Tianen for the position of Lin Family Head along with another Cousin, Lin Tianqin, but had narrowly lost because Lin Tianen's talent was superior.

However, as time passed, he and Lin Tianqin had also achieved a Breakthrough to Immortal Venerable Peak, and they had developed certain thoughts regarding the position of Lin Family Head.

This incident gave them an Opportunity, so naturally, they would not let it pass.

"That's right, Tianen. Because of you, our Lin Family has suffered such a huge blow. You cannot shirk the responsibility. Don't you think you should give us an explanation?"

Lin Tianqin also stood up and said with a cold snort.

In recent years, under the secret maneuvering of Lin Tianyu and Lin Tianqin, the Lin Family had been secretly divided into three factions. By the time Lin Tianen realized it, there was nothing he could do.

However, because it did not affect the development of the Lin Family, Lin Tianen had turned a blind eye to it and ignored it, thinking that once he became the first Immortal Emperor of the Lin Family, all voices opposing him would be suppressed.

He had not expected this kind of matter to occur now. Thinking of this, Lin Tianen felt like killing his own son, but because Lin Xukun was his only heir and had excellent talent, Lin Tianen took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the thought of finishing off Lin Xukun.

"Everyone, I do not believe my son did anything wrong. That was an Opportunity belonging to my son, and it was my son who first attacked and severely injured the prey. Those two thieves just happened to pick up the scraps by luck. My son was merely defending the dignity of our Lin Family. If we were to hand it over, that would be what truly causes our Lin Family to lose face."

"As for this matter, I fear it may not necessarily have been caused by my son."

As Lin Tianen stood up, Lin Tianyu and Lin Tianqin refused to be outdone and also stood up to speak.

"You say it wasn't provoked by Lin Xukun, then tell us, what is the reason? The other party wouldn't just attack our Lin Family for no reason, would they?"

"As far as I know, the fat one among them has the surname Duan."

Lin Tianen said, enunciating every word.

Lin Tianyu was about to say something, but his pupils suddenly shrank as if he had remembered something, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Are you saying the other party's surname is Duan? But didn't we do it very secretly back then? We didn't even leave a single survivor?"

"Do you all still remember why we attacked the Duan Family? It was because it was said that the Duan Family held that item in their hands. Moreover, we didn't find that item at the time. What if the Duan Family used that item to send away some of their Bloodline?"

Lin Tianen sneered and said; it was only after careful investigation that he discovered the other party's name was Duan De.

As Lin Tianen's words fell, all the high-ranking members of the Lin Family fell silent.

"Therefore, this matter was not caused by my son, but rather, the other party came specifically for our Lin Family. Mobilizing all the Immortal Sovereign experts in the clan to guard the Old Ancestor tombs is the most reasonable arrangement. Otherwise, once the other party grows stronger, our Lin Family will no longer have any peace."

Lin Tianen spoke again at this moment. Lin Tianyu and Lin Tianqin did not refute him further, but having thought of something, they took a deep breath and spoke.

"I have no objection to this matter, but mobilizing all the Immortal Sovereign experts is too much. My suggestion is to send one Immortal Sovereign expert to guard each Old Ancestor tomb. After all, they were only able to escape from an Immortal King previously. Even if they are stronger and more of a Prodigy now, they cannot possibly be a match for an Immortal Sovereign."

Hearing Lin Tianyu's words, Lin Tianen felt a moment of hesitation, but soon nodded.

"Fine. Since that is the case, then send one Immortal Sovereign expert to guard each Old Ancestor tomb. Quickly, tear them to pieces to defend the dignity of our Lin Family!"
