Peerless Martial God - C3 Unbridled and Overbearing
C3 Unbridled and Overbearing
“Have you heard? Not only have the eldest master and the third master come back, and even the grand elder is here. It seems like they are aiming for the family patriarch.”
“Hehe, although the clan patriarch is powerful, that useless son of his might have already been dead and was personally brought back by someone from the Cloud Sea Sect, causing our Lin Family to lose all face. The eldest master has always been unsatisfied with the patriarch, so how could he not be angry with him this time? Maybe it’s time to change the patriarch of our clan.”
Along the way, there were members of the Lin Clan whispering with each other. The crowd all seemed to know that today’s clan gathering would be extraordinary.
At this moment, Lin Feng and Lin Hai were also on their way to the central Martial Arts Arena. When many people saw that Lin Feng was safe and sound, their eyes flashed a strange look, and some people even thought to themselves that how come this trash had not died yet. But due to Lin Hai’s prestige, most people did not dare to say what they were thinking.
“This trash is truly lucky. He is actually still alive.” Suddenly, an ear-piercing sound rang out, causing many people to freeze. Raising their heads, they saw a group of people walking in their direction with extraordinary demeanor.
The one who spoke was a young man called Lin Yun, the son of the Lin Clan’s third grandpa, Lin Haoran. Both Lin Yun and Lin Feng were fifteen years old, but the former had already been a Martial Cultivators at the sixth level of the Qi Martial Stage.
“So it’s Lin Yun. No wonder he dares to say that.” When the crowd saw the third master Lin Haoran walking together with the eldest master Lin Badao, they immediately felt a chill in their hearts. It seemed that they meant to cause trouble.
“Say it again.” A cold light flashed in Lin Hai’s eyes. He looked straight at Lin Yun, causing him a slight pain in his eyes. He did not dare to look straight at Lin Hai.
“Second brother, you are becoming more and more outrageous, even bullying the junior.” Lin Badao sneered coldly.
“Humph, no matter what, I, Lin Hai, am still the patriarch of the family. How is it proper for Lin Yun to be so uncultured?” Lin Hai coldly replied.
“Second brother, you are quite impressive, but I would like to see how long you can stay in the position as the patriarch.” Lin Haoran’s tone was harsh, “That good-for-nothing son of yours was carried back to the Lin Clan by the people from the Cloud Sea Sect. He has brought humiliation to the entire Lin Clan, so why can’t we tell the truth?”
“How long can I stay in the position as the patriarch? Lin Haoran, you’re saying that I won’t be the Patriarch for long? Could it be that you want to replace me? But do you think you’re qualified enough?” Lin Hai took a step forward, his entire body emitting an ice-cold aura. Lin Yun, who was beside Lin Haoran, felt his body turn cold as he hid behind Lin Haoran.
“It is up to the elders to decide whether or not I am qualified. It is not up to you, Lin Hai, to decide.” Lin Haoran’s expression darkened. He never expected Lin Hai to be so domineering today.
“So now you have admitted it. That’s fine. But I, Lin Hai, am still the patriarch of the family. Your son is cursing my son, the son of the family patriarch, in front of me. What punishment should he get?”
Lin Hai did not back off at all. The cold air became more and more intense, and the temperature in this area dropped rapidly. There were even faint traces of white frost appearing.
“The Patriarch certainly deserves the title of the Patriarch. He carried his own dignity and actually attacked the third master first.” The crowd looked over in their direction with a hint of admiration for Lin Hai in their hearts. They thought that Lin Hai would be put in a passive position to deal with the attacks of the third master and the eldest master.
“Lin Hai, do you think I’m afraid of you?” Lin Haoran had come prepared today. As the sound of his voice faded, a powerful surge of hot air rushed out, clashing against the ice.
“Father possesses the Ice Soul Martial Soul, and thus he majors in the cultivation of frost arts. As for Lin Haoran, he has a Fire Martial Soul, and he cultivates a fire cultivation arts. As water overcomes fire, even though Lin Haoran’s cultivation is similar to father’s, the former wouldn’t match father. Clearly Lin Haoran is not playing the leading role today.”
Standing by the side, Lin Feng turned his gaze towards Lin Badao, and saw the corners of Lin Badao’s mouth curled up in an evil sneer as he said, “Second Brother, the clan gathering is about to begin. Don’t tell me that you don’t even care about the group of elders anymore.”
In the Lin Clan, the group of elders were above all else, and they existed to restrain the clan patriarch. Thus, Lin Badao used the group of elders to suppress Lin Hai, and put forward a serious accusation against him.
“Humph.” Lin Hai disdainfully glanced at Lin Haoran. After which, he retracted his aura and left together with Lin Feng.
Lin Haoran naturally noticed Lin Hai’s disdain. His eyes emitted a cold light. “Your good-for-nothing son didn’t die this time. Next time, he won’t be so lucky.”
Lin Haoran’s eldest son, Lin Heng, was one of the top outer disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect. Sooner or later he would become an inner disciple, or even a core disciple. By then, thanks to the son, the father would naturally enjoy a high status both at home and in society, which would not be something a mere patriarch could compare.
Currently, she was already an inner disciple of the Bright Moon Sect, and her achievements in the future would be limitless. Among the three brothers, only Lin Hai’s son had an extremely poor aptitude, and was called trash by others. That was the why Lin Badao and Lin Haoran had always been domineering, and now even the group of elders were partial to them, so the trend was advantageous to them, not Lin Hai.
In the massive Martial Arts Arena, four to five hundred members of the Lin Clan gathered together. In the center of the Martial Arts Arena, there was a bluestone platform, and right now, all of the members of the Lin Clan in charge were there.
“Elders, a few days ago, a member of the Cloud Sea Sect came to our Lin Family. Originally, it was a matter of honor, but we did not expect that a half-dead trash would be sent here, and that he would embarrass our Lin Family. Therefore, I suggest that Lin Feng be expelled from the family. He is unworthy of being a member of our family.”
Lin Haoran stood up and cupped his hands towards the elders in the elders seating area as he directly launched an attack.
“You are quite straightforward in stating your purpose. However, I, the patriarch of the family, have yet to speak. Since when did you, Third Bro, have the right to speak? Get the hell back to your position.” Lin Hai was naturally clear on Lin Haoran’s intention, as he was extremely domineering. He wanted to see how Lin Haoran would expel his son from the family and snatch his position as the Patriarch.
Second brother, you are wrong. Although you are the patriarch of the family, Third Brother is also one of the leaders of the family, and he has said this for the sake of our Lin Family. Your good-for-nothing son has indeed embarrassed our family, so he should be expelled.” Lin Badao’s sinister voice sounded out as he started attacking Lin Hai.
“I will teach my own son. It has nothing to do with the family honor, and it is none of your business. Lin Badao, I know that you have been coveting my position the entire time, so today, you and I will fight. If you win, I will bring my son along to leave the Lin Family, but if you lose…Shut your mouth.”
Lin Hai stood up and walked to the center of the stage. A powerful aura emanated from him as he pointed at Lin Badao. Even if he didn’t want to fight, he would still have to fight.
Lin Feng saw that his father had changed from the usual to be aggressive, and he knew clearly why. In the continent, Martial Tao was the most respected. Only the strong had the right to speak, and he wanted to use his own strength to make Lin Badao shut up.
“I’m not afraid of you.” Upon hearing Lin Hai insulting him, Lin Badao was filled with anger. He stood up and walked to stand opposite of Lin Hai.
All the elders remained silent. They were all happy to see this situation. If Lin Hai could not even win against Lin Badao and had a good-for-nothing son, he should give away the position of the Lin Clan’s patriarch.
“I want to see what makes you so arrogant.” Lin Badao coldly laughed, yet Lin Hai didn’t bother to waste any more words with him. The frost concept enveloped the entire stage, and at the same time, the several hundred members of the Lin Clan all felt a bone-piercing cold that seeped into their bones.
This was the power of a Martial Soul. Lin Hai’s Martial Soul was the Ice Soul. Once it was released, the surroundings would be eroded by ice.
“Icebound for A Thousand Li.” Just as Lin Badao wanted to release his Martial Soul, he heard a loud shout from Lin Hai, followed by a cracking sound. With Lin Hai as the center, a layer of ice covered the platform, spreading out to cover it. The entire platform was covered in a layer of snow-white ice, while Lin Badao also turned into a person of ice, sealed in the layer of ice.
Boom!” An explosive sound rang out as the snow and ice shattered. Lin Badao was sent flying through the air, blood spurting out from his mouth as he landed heavily on the ground.
The elders stood up, staring at the scene before them in shock. Lin Kuang couldn’t even withstand a single blow.
“Icebound for a thousand li, Lin Hai’s Icebound technique has actually been cultivated to the eighth level. No wonder he’s so domineering.” The Great Elder’s gaze flickered. Lin Hai possessed the Ice Soul Martial Soul, coupled with the powerful Icebound technique, he had instantly frozen Lin Badao, and then defeated him in one hit. Lin Badao did not even have time to react; if Lin Hai had been even slightly slower, he would not have been able to do it so easily.
The eyes of the Lin Family members were somewhat dull. This was the first time they had seen such an overbearing Lin Hai, one that was even more overbearing than the eldest master, Lin Badao.
Lin Badao spat out another mouthful of blood and glared furiously at Lin Hai. However, Lin Hai did not mind at all. Of course, he could guess that Lin Feng’s injury was related to his two brothers. Since they wanted to kill his son, he, Lin Hai, did not need to care about brotherly feelings.
“Elders, please continue the meeting.” Lin Hai waved his sleeve and returned to his seat, as if he hadn’t done anything at all.
“Hehe, Lin Hai, as the patriarch of the family, your cultivation has advanced further and you have set a good example. I believe that all the members of the Lin Family will work hard to cultivate. So the purpose of this gathering has been fulfilled. Now you all may be dismissed.” The Great Elder smiled. At this moment, there was no point in continuing the clan gathering anymore.
“Grand Elder, since that’s the case, then I’ll take my leave.” Lin Feng cupped his hands towards the Great Elder and stood up together with Lin Feng.
“Lin Hai, I’d like to see how long you can protect this trash for.” Seeing that he failed to achieve his goal, Lin Haoran icily stated.
“That’s right. Trash, the shame of my Lin Family.” Lin Yun agreed. However, when he saw Lin Hai’s gaze sweeping over him, he immediately shut his mouth.
“Little Feng, let’s go.” Lin Hai was unwilling to pay any more attention to them, but Lin Feng did not leave. Instead, he turned around and began walking in the direction of Lin Yun. This scene caused the expressions of the crowd to freeze, as they wondered what Lin Feng was planning to do.
Lin Hai also looked at his son in astonishment. He saw Lin Feng walking to a place not far from Lin Yun, and then looking at Lin Yun, he said, “Lin Yun, you always call me trash, but I would like to ask, if one day you find that you are even worse off than me, how are you going to react?”
“Are you dreaming? Trash like you can compete with me.” Lin Yun did not expect that this trash, Lin Feng, would dare to speak to him in such a manner and could not help but mock him.
Lin Feng’s eyes glimmered, after which he chuckled lightly and spoke in an indifferent tone, “Lin Yun, I, Lin Feng, issue a challenge to you.”
