Chapter 1489 - 1484: The Patriarchs’ Shock (Part 1)

"Huh?"

"Where’s the Dragon King?"

"Who are these two young people?"

"Junior members of the family?"

"Should be!"

"But everyone be careful, the Dragon King should be nearby!"

At this moment, the eight ancestors of the Lin family were lined up at the entrance of the Array, and happened to see Lin Xi and Zhu Ying, as well as a few Lin family Guardians lying not far from them.

As for Lin Xi and the girl, they didn’t care.

What they cared about was the Dragon King.

To be able to shake the Array, even to the point of blasting it open—other than the Dragon King, who else could it be?

The ancestors of the other three families?

No, no, no, the other three families wouldn’t come to attack the Lin family.

And experts of that level might not even exist.

Even if they did, it shouldn’t be them.

The core disciples of the three families were still inside the Secret Realm.

So they were absolutely convinced it was the Dragon King.

Only, when the Array opened, they didn’t see the Dragon King.

Could he be hiding nearby, planning a sneak attack on them?

Is the Dragon King that kind of person?

They’d never heard that.

What they had heard was that the Dragon King always issued open and aboveboard challenges.

So what’s going on now?

Just then, the eight of them noticed the two young people in front of them and strode over.

One of the ancestors shouted, "Stop right there!"

"This isn’t a place you can get involved in right now, hurry back."

The other seven didn’t pay them much mind, just felt a faint doubt in their hearts.

Everyone else was on the ground, so why were these two completely unharmed?

At the same time, they also sensed that the Lin family junior, Lin Hai, was already rushing over.

But as for him coming, they didn’t really expect his strength to be of any help; they mainly hoped the kid could tell them what exactly had happened in the clan.

Why?

Would the Dragon King come crashing in?

We’re talking about the Dragon King!

An expert whose strength was far above theirs.

The nominal strongest warrior in the world!

Whether or not he was truly the strongest, they weren’t going to ponder that now.

Because even if all eight of them joined forces, they still wouldn’t be able to get any advantage against the Dragon King.

They might even end up defeated.

"Did you not hear what I just said?" The ancestor who had spoken earlier was getting a bit angry.

Were the younger generation of the clan getting inflated or floating off these days?

They didn’t even listen to his words.

They kept walking over with blank expressions, as if they hadn’t heard a single word he’d just said.

The stern faces of the other seven also showed impatience.

Isn’t this making trouble?

Don’t they know what’s important?

Once they started fighting the Dragon King, they wouldn’t be able to care about the surroundings.

Meaning it would be very easy to injure people nearby.

Even a Peak Soldier King wouldn’t dare linger near a group of Innate experts clashing; they’d absolutely avoid it from far away.

Let alone two young people!

They were probably only around twenty!

How strong could they possibly be?

The core disciples of the clan weren’t that old either, but they’d all gone into the Secret Realm.

What kind of powerful core disciple would choose not to enter the Secret Realm?

The Secret Realm could greatly raise one’s realm and personal potential.

With that kind of function, it was absolutely irresistible.

Besides, any heavenly treasures found inside, once handed over to the clan, would be rewarded extremely generously.

Only, Lin Xi and the girl still didn’t stop.

How could they possibly stop?

They’d come to enter the Secret Realm, to rescue Lin Yanxia.

But faced with so many experts!

And these experts were far stronger than the Innate experts of the Ten Great Families.

So as Lin Xi walked over, he spoke, "Something’s happened in the Secret Realm!"

"Something happened?" The ancestors froze for a second, then their faces filled with disbelief.

How could something have happened?

They’d been here at the Secret Realm entrance the whole time, and using some special clan methods, they could observe certain situations inside the Secret Realm.

Just moments ago, they’d checked—there was nothing abnormal.

So how could something have gone wrong?

Is this a joke?

And even if something did happen, how would you two know?

All along, whether anything went wrong inside, only they had the ability to observe it.

Now two little brats were saying this?

If they didn’t believe the Dragon King was nearby, they would absolutely have burst out laughing.

"We’ll say it again—go back!"

"We can clearly tell you, nothing has happened in the Secret Realm."

"Otherwise, don’t blame us ancestors for giving you two little brats a beating!"

"Looks like you really don’t know." Lin Xi could tell from the expressions on the eight faces that they weren’t lying about what they’d just said.

Which meant they hadn’t noticed anything going wrong inside the Secret Realm.

As for whether Zhu Ying’s sensing was wrong?

He had never doubted her.

Even if there was a one-in-a-thousand chance she was wrong, so what.

Going in once to see Lin Yanxia was a good thing anyway.

As for offending members of the Lin family?

Compared to Lin Yanxia’s safety, Lin Xi didn’t care at all.

With his level of strength!

You could say that even against the legendary Dragon King, he wouldn’t care in the slightest.

Especially since he’d recently broken through to mid-stage Innate.

He felt that even late-stage Innate experts were within his ability to handle.

So what was there to be afraid of?

Thus, Lin Xi’s steps didn’t stop.

The eight ancestors’ faces also showed a trace of anger.

Judging from the situation, they were about to teach these two juniors a lesson.

Especially the man.

As for the girl, they wouldn’t lay hands on her.

After all, from beginning to end, the only one provoking them had been the man.

The girl hadn’t said a single word.

The worry on her face wasn’t hidden at all.

Was she worried about their safety, or the safety inside the Secret Realm?

That—

Wasn’t something us ancestors cared about.

Just as the ancestors were about to act, Lin Hai rushed over in time, his mind filled entirely with one thought: they mustn’t fight.

So he immediately shouted, "Lin Xi, if something’s going on, we can talk it out!"

"Ancestors, don’t make a move!"

As his words came out, both sides paused slightly.

Within two seconds, Lin Hai was already standing between the two sides.

At top speed, he gave a quick introduction of Lin Xi’s situation.

Lin Xi didn’t stop him.

He didn’t want to fight either; this group would still take quite some effort.

He might even be dragged out for half an hour.

Now that someone was explaining things, he could only hope these Lin family ancestors would figure it out.

After listening to Lin Hai’s explanation, the Lin family ancestors all showed strange expressions, even outright disbelief.

"There’s no Dragon King?"

"It wasn’t the Dragon King attacking them?"

"It was this young man here who blasted their Array?"

"This young man is a top-tier late-stage Innate expert?"

"They don’t necessarily have bad intentions?"

"They really believe something has happened in the Secret Realm, which is why they came?"

The ancestors looked at each other.

"Is this still the world they thought they knew?"
