Chapter 373: Chapter 258: The Power of Lin Yan! The Defeat of Lin Lei! [One more update!]_2

Chief True Man spoke with a neutral expression, saying this:

——

Originally, the group from the Holy Land, having all three decisions blocked yesterday, should have left High Willow City directly.

But because of the thirteenth young master, who was affected by the residual power of the Refining God Realm, they stayed an extra night.

And staying this extra night was actually an opportunity for this thirteenth young master to convey the current situation of the Holy Land.

After spending a day and a night using various secret techniques and medicines, he partially recovered from his injuries, which didn’t hinder their travel, and they immediately left the city.

The original plan was to head to the Blessed Land, but the layout at the Residual Prison Mansion had obviously already begun.

"Master, what do you think will be the final outcome of the situation the Holy Land has laid out for him in the Residual Prison Mansion?"

"Hard to say," sighed Lin Yan, "From the current situation, this guy has become our enemy, and by all rights, we should destroy him! But from the bottom of my heart, whether considering his identity, status, cultivation, or past achievements, he is a pillar of the Human Clan. If he could be redeemed, that would be best!"

"Master, do you think there is hope for redemption?" asked the Little White Ape.

"His Supreme Profound Dao to Saint is likely unsustainable now, but it probably hasn’t yet collapsed to an irredeemable state."

Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "Thinking carefully, what he has shown now is personal desire! His current schemes are all for the benefit of the Li Family lineage! It’s like the old ancestors in the inner city, who strategize for their own families, which is also a common human sentiment..."

"His current condition is merely that he has lost the status of being completely impartial, and is more like a ’person’ with personal desires!"

"Compared to those who want to destroy the city, like Tribulation Ash, he is not extremely cruel and brutal."

"Judging by deeds and not intentions, at least for now, this Sixth Vein Master, even if not entirely pure at heart, has not committed any extreme atrocities."

"If we judge by intentions and not by deeds, if he could reconstruct the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint, he could return to being that top level of the Holy Land who was wholly impartial and committed to the overarching good of the Human Clan!"

Pausing, Lin Yan said somberly, "Actually, his current state is quite similar to that old ancestor from the Yue family."

Humans inherently have personal desires, and it is inevitable, just as with the Yue family’s old ancestor.

When protecting Mr. Lu, if the Yue family’s old ancestor had been obstinately reckless, Lin Yan would inevitably have killed him.

But knowing when to retreat, after that incident, out of respect for his past achievements, Lin Yan didn’t trouble him.

Regarding the attitude toward Chief True Man, Lin Yan felt the same.

But thinking deeper, Chief True Man wielding the Token, possessing Refining God’s Power, and having a hope of restoring the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint, could still be a pillar for the Human Clan.

"No wonder you restrained your impulse just now," said the Little White Ape with a grin.

"He and the Commander, in fact, have much in common."

Lin Yan sighed, "The Commander, though he did not cultivate the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint, is also terrifyingly calm and rational, even willing to send his most loyal Zhao Ye people to their deaths! Now in his later years, he is probably about to lose control..."

"In their youth, they both were pillars fighting against Ancient Mysterious Creatures and Tribulation Ash, equally respectable, it’s unfortunate that they encountered misfortune in their later years."

"The signs of the Commander losing control are becoming more apparent, and even Mr. Lu is helpless."

"But this Chief True Man, relying on the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint, might have a slight hope of being redeemed."

"At present, this Chief True Man hasn’t truly committed evil acts; hopefully, the Human Clan can redeem this Refining God Realm figure."

Speaking thus, Lin Yan exhaled and said, "Whether it’s the Saint Master or Mr. Lu, they actually all think this way."

Speaking so, his mood also seemed very solemn as he slowly said, "The night full of intrigue, demons rampant, with Ancient Mysterious Creatures, Old Gods, corrupted Tribulation Ash, uncontrollable Human Clan powerhouses, and deceitful individuals within the city."

"In this era, the more powerful the individual, the more likely they are to lose control, ultimately becoming a great enemy of the Human Clan!"

"Even the Commander, who is firmly committed to the big picture of the Human Clan, might eventually fall into this plight."

"If Chief True Man can be redeemed, that would be best."

Saying this, Lin Yan spoke again, "Let’s go, let’s buy some meat first."

"Are we going home for dinner? Should we buy some candy for Xiaoyue and Xiaonian?"

"Zou Jin sacrificed himself, and Zheng Liu became disabled, Linjiang Station, although treating their families well, they were ultimately working for me, let’s visit their families."

Lin Yan said this, then added, "Besides, since my second brother is required to leave the city with us, he surely must get his wife’s consent."

——

Meanwhile.

Lin Lei clutched his waist, slowly put on his clothes, his face somewhat pale.

"I promise you, I will be back soon, definitely not more than half a month."

"Got it."

Mrs. He’s eyes were a bit red, she directly covered herself with the quilt, turned her back, and huffed grudgingly, "If you die outside the city, I’ll remarry! Now my brother, he is the chief lord of Linjiang Square, and with two kids, I won’t worry about remarrying..."

"I won’t be in any danger, Mr. Lu’s skills, even within High Willow City, are unmatched by anyone."

Lin Lei paused, his expression bizarre as he said, "Moreover, that Venerate who has slain ancestors from various sects, with his notorious ferocity, will also be accompanying us... Besides, Flames is also coming with me, if it really becomes too dangerous, even if I am willing to take risks, I won’t let Flames take risks!"

"Alright, pick up the clothes on the floor, put them at the foot of the bed, I’m tired... you go finding death outside the city, I do not care about you..."

Mrs. He huffed softly, "Go wash the clothes, then go cook, and soothe the two kids."

"Alright."

Lin Lei moved closer to the head of the bed, gently stroked his wife’s head, and smiled as he said, "I’ll go wash the clothes first, then come back to cook."

"Scram!"

Mrs. He immediately slapped back with her hand, pushing his arm away.

"Okay, then you rest for a while, I’ll call you when the meal is ready."

Lin Lei said so.

Meanwhile, Mrs. He lay on the bed, thinking of her husband leaving High Willow City, she couldn’t help but feel a myriad of worries and couldn’t stop her tears from falling.

In today’s world, everyone in the Human Clan knew how dangerous it was outside the city!

Even in Linjiang Square, there were often demons and evil spirits that breached the City Defense Army’s defenses, bringing calamity to the common people, let alone the endless darkness beyond the city?

"Why are you crying again?"

Lin Lei’s voice came from beside her, laughing as he said, "It’s okay, I’ll be back soon, I am also afraid of death."

"After this trip out of the city, upon my return, your husband will be a capable man."

"In the future, you can move into the inner city if you want, live a better life if you want, and even send the kids to the academy in the inner city, so they can become scholars and secure a stable job in the future."

"This half of my life, getting married and having children, life has also been quite happy and fulfilled, but some things, someday someone will have to do it."

"The more skills I learn, the more things I can do. Thanks to Mr. Lu’s favor, he has given me a path, which is better than being confused for the latter half of my life."

He said so, embracing his wife, and whispered, "The world outside the city is full of endless bizarre nights, with sparse population, life in the city has not been easy, even raising a child is even harder... Now that the new city is also expanding, why don’t we have another child, to contribute to the Human Clan?"

"You don’t even have the basic qualities for martial training, and you’re already physically weak, you just exerted yourself, and now you still want to contribute?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. He couldn’t help but retort sarcastically, "If your back breaks, I’ll see how you’ll leave for the city tomorrow?"

As she said so, her eyes suddenly lit up, she flipped over and pinned Lin Lei down, angrily saying, "Then let your old mother make you lie in bed for three days and three nights, unable to get out of bed, and see how you go out to find death!"

——

When the afternoon arrived, after Lin Yan returned home.

He could hear his elder brother’s weak voice coming from the innermost room.

"Flames, I’m leaving on a long journey tomorrow, our family conditions are not too bad now, just take the two kids out for a nice meal, let them have some fun."

"Elder brother, I am full, I won’t be going out, will go to bed early, need to set off early tomorrow."

"... "

Lin Yan paused for a moment.

Then quietly took out a small Essence Boosting Pill from his chest pocket, placing it on the table.

If it were an ordinary Essence Boosting Pill, the effects would be too powerful, not bearable for someone who isn’t into martial training.

But this type of small Essence Boosting Pill, modified by Mr. Lu, could increase children’s Qi-Blood and strengthen their bones, suitable for such elixirs.

For someone like his elder brother who had never trained in martial arts, it was also bearable.

If he didn’t leave behind this bag of small Essence Boosting Pills for his elder brother, he probably wouldn’t be able to hit the road tomorrow.
