Chapter 519: Martial Saint Lin

Xia Palace

Lin Jiang smashed the dragon chair that the craftsman had just made in three months with one palm. He hadn’t been angry for a long time, but this time, he was very furious.

Zhang Ran received a message and hurried to the grand hall of Xia Palace, where he saw a few familiar faces.

"Lin Hongjin"

"Senior Brother Zhang"

"How come you’re awake too? It’s not time yet."

Zhang Ran was shocked. He recognized one of them as a former genius from the Lin family, who like him, was a Nascent Soul when they were asleep years ago. However, Zhang Ran was almost six hundred years old when he slept, while Lin Hongjin was not even four hundred. According to reason, he could still sleep for a long time.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I was forcibly awakened by someone."

"What happened? Why is this happening?"

"I was awakened by a disciple of your Five Elements Sect."

"Oh no,"

Zhang Ran was instantly confused, wondering what was going on.

"A group of crazy people,"

Lin Jiang said coldly.

Lin Hongjin and his friends were all awakened ahead of time. The golden core that had been dormant for years were starting to wake up one by one.

The golden core’s lifespan is only five hundred years. Some were sealed away when they were over a hundred years old. According to Lin Jiang’s plan, they were supposed to wake up a hundred years before their lifespan ended. Therefore, in theory, most golden cores would wake up on their own.

After waking up, they all faced many challenges. Some couldn’t accept that the natural order had changed, while others struggled to adapt to the modern society, as most were from ancient tribes.

Some people wanted to return to Yun State, some wanted to become kings by themselves, and some went completely crazy because they realized that if they woke up now, they would never become immortals. So, a group of them forcefully woke up the sleeping people, they couldn’t become immortals, and neither could the others.

This group of people belonged to four different powers: the Zhonghang Sect, the Lin family, the Five Elements Sect, and the Wangxian Sect.

"Zhang Ran"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Go and settle them, grant each of them a title and land."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Lin Hongjin, get ready, we will head north together in a few days."

"Your Majesty, are you…"

"Those scoundrels have destroyed the foundations of four families, don’t you think they should be killed?"

"They should be killed, Your Majesty, should I bring more people?"

"I will bring people with me."

Lin Jiang said. This time he was truly angry.

The sleeping soldiers and horses from the Qing State could potentially be part of Lin Jiang’s team in the future. He has connections with the four factions, and in the future, if their spiritual energy recovers, he can use these people. But right now, someone has disrupted their foundation. Can Lin Jiang not be furious?

·······

Seven days later, after Lin Jiang arranged things at Xia Palace, he handed over the affairs to Zhang Ran. Having been the Prime Minister for many years, he knew how to handle national affairs.

Lin Jiang left with thirty guards, all of them skilled, with the worst being an Innate Martial Artist. In addition to Lin Jiang and Lin Hongjin, there were a total of thirty-two people.

Each of the thirty-two people had three fast horses, and they raced all the way. After decades of major construction in Xia Kingdom, there were clear official roads, so their speed was very fast, able to travel hundreds of miles in a day.

But when they reached the border areas of Xia Kingdom, there was no road. It was a primitive forest landscape, so everyone abandoned their horses and used light skills to travel.

Everyone was skilled, and using light skills was not slower than horses. However, their bodies couldn’t keep up, so they usually traveled for a stretch and then rested for a while.

One month later, Lin Jiang and his companions stood by a river, comparing two maps. Lin Jiang said. According to the map, we should have entered the territory of the former He State.

Lin Jiang always liked having people draw maps. The map of the Xia Kingdom was always being updated. By comparing the current terrain to the cultivation era, although they were very different, there were also similarities. For example, the Yunzhong Mountain Range, a large mountain range. From this, it could be deduced that they had entered the former territory of the He State.

"Your Majesty, as long as we’re on the right path, we should reach the Qing State in no more than half a month."

"Let’s find those scoundrels."

Lin Jiang said that according to Lin Hongjin, the awakened cultivators were active in the Qing State area. They had no intention of returning to the Yun State and had caused quite a stir in the Qing State. The forces they established were quite powerful.

After resting for a while, Lin Jiang chopped down a large tree, crossed a river on a reed, showing his skills as a master.

After another half a month passed, Lin Jiang and his group finally reached the boundary of the Qing State. Even though they could have reached it in just a day, they took a month and a half. This speed left Lin Jiang speechless. They were considered fast, but for ordinary people, it might take a year to get there.

Lin Hongjin had traveled south to the Qing State and had some knowledge of the situation there. Lin Hongjin told Lin Jiang that the Qing State was also full of tribes. However, with the appearance of cultivators, the mergers between tribes happened quickly. Several large tribes had emerged, each with tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand people, although not as mighty as the Xia Kingdom.

Without exception, all the large tribes were led by cultivators. The indigenous primitive people didn’t have this ability.

Lin Jiang sent people to search around, and after another half a month, they finally found a large tribe. Lin Jiang directly led his people to attack.

Lin Jiang and his group appeared, and soon there was a reaction from the tribe, with a group of people on horses coming out.

"Uncle Six"

The leader saw Lin Jiang and his face immediately changed.

"Your Majesty, this person is called Lin Guorong, of the same generation as my grandfather."

"Can he forcefully awaken the sleeping?"

"Yes."

"Very good."

Lin Jiang’s eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked coldly at Lin Guorong.

"I am Lin Jiang, the Sixth Patriarch of the Lin family. Those who were forcibly awakened stand aside, to avoid dirtying you with blood."

Lin Jiang shouted loudly at everyone, causing some of the people opposite him, especially those next to Lin Guorong, to become restless. They were all awakened cultivators, and they were also descendants of the Lin family.

"Sixth Uncle, what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? You bastard, you are destroying the roots of the Lin family, what do you think I want to do?"

"Stop, Sixth Uncle, if you take another step forward, don’t blame me for being rude."

"Rude? You want to be rude with me?"

Lin Jiang drew his sword directly and made a fierce slash, with a powerful blade energy heading straight towards Lin Guorong.

"Boom"

Lin Guorong jumped into the air, and his mount underneath him was directly shattered into pieces. Lin Jiang had no intention of letting him go, so he exerted force and also leaped into the air.

"Clang"

The two men clashed their weapons. Lin Guorong was sent flying by Lin Jiang’s strike. Lin Jiang then made another powerful attack. He was holding back, or else Lin Guorong would have been severely injured.

"Your Majesty."

The warriors from other tribes saw Lin Guorong’s defeat and were about to come to his rescue with a loud roar. Lin Jiang’s guards swiftly moved in and scattered the warriors from the tribes. There was no comparison between the two sides. There were several Grand Masters of Martial Arts among Lin Jiang’s guards.

"Indeed, Your Majesty is a Martial Saint."

"Such a powerful Martial Saint."

Lin Jiang’s guards admired him even more when they saw his figure from behind. Skilled fighters could easily see the difference in abilities, and they knew how great the gap was between them and Lin Jiang.

"Lin Guorong, give me a reason not to kill you."

"Sixth Patriarch, why are you trying to kill me?"

"Why are you forcibly awakening the other sleeping people?"

"Sixth Patriarch, now you know the situation. The great way is lost, the spirit is gone, the world is all wilderness. We can’t survive here and just want to find some helpers. I woke them up, but treated them well. They have the same power and status as me, and wear the same fine clothes."

Lin Guorong said he doesn’t think it’s wrong. Since the great way is lost and the spirit is gone, instead of wasting life there, it’s better to come out and enjoy, and rebuild the Lin family.

"Is that your reason?"

"Of course, Sixth Patriarch. Can you guarantee that the spirit will return hundreds or thousands of years later? Will they still have a chance? If not, why waste time?"

"They are frozen in deep sleep, their life flows very slowly. A hundred years of life span can resist the passing of a thousand years. How do you know they won’t make it through?"

"Even the Sixth Patriarch can’t guarantee it."

"Haha, I can’t guarantee it. But I gave them the greatest hope, while you, personally cut off their hope. There is no better reason; you will die today."

"What gives you the right to kill me? You only call yourself Sixth Patriarch out of respect. If I don’t respect you, who are you in the Lin family?"

"I can wield my knife faster than yours. Got what it takes?"

Lin Jiang was very angry. He lifted his hand holding a knife and directly chopped down on Lin Guorong.

"If anyone else has done the same thing, speak up now. Maybe I will spare your lives. If I find out on my own, you will all die."

Lin Jiang shouted at a group of people. The people stayed quiet and didn’t dare to speak.
