32. I Can't Die Here

The Lin family saw no way out if no one was willing to step in to help.

Lin Zhentian looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Third son, take Qing Tan and some of our elite family members and leave Qingyang Town tonight."

He had already made up his mind—so long as they survived, there was always hope for the future.

"No!" Lin Xiao and Lin Mang shouted simultaneously.

The two of them exchanged glances. Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised—his second brother, usually opportunistic, was not taking advantage of the situation this time. Had he changed?

As it turned out, Lin Xiao was happy too soon.

Lin Mang quickly said, "Father, if we leave, the Lin family will be finished!"

"As long as the elite and the younger generation survive, we still have hope!" Lin Zhentian's eyes gleamed with a sliver of hope. He didn't care if he died, as long as his family could endure.

Lin Xiao firmly said, "Father, I can't leave. I will stay and fight alongside you!"

"You're the strongest and most talented of my three sons, and you're the most suited to protect the elite disciples."

"But…"

"No more discussion!"

"Father!"

"I…"

Before Lin Zhentian could continue, a crisp voice interrupted, "Grandfather, none of us need to leave."

The group turned their heads toward the voice.

It was Lin Qing Tan, dressed in light green clothing, walking toward them. Her young face carried a resolute confidence.

Lin Mang was overjoyed. "Qing Tan, you understand the bigger picture! Don't worry, by sacrificing yourself, the Lin family won't forget your contribution."

"??"

Lin Qing Tan froze, frowning. "Why would I need to sacrifice myself?"

Lin Mang was confused, "Didn't you agree to marry him?"

"Who said I agreed to marry him?"

"You… You… You just said none of us need to leave, isn't that an admission you're willing to marry him?"

"I never said I was going to marry him!"

Lin Qing Tan was speechless.

Lin Mang, frustrated, exclaimed, "What do you mean by this, Lin Qing Tan? Are you playing games with us?"

Lin Zhentian waved his hand to cut off Lin Mang. He turned to Qing Tan, seriously asking, "Qing Tan, do you have a plan?"

Lin Qing Tan nodded, "Grandfather, Father, don't worry. I've already taken a powerful elder as my master. She can help us solve all these problems."

…

"Elder, we have fulfilled your request. The people of the Huangpu family have been dealt with."

The Lin family had always been stronger than the Huangpu family, and under Lin Langtian's leadership, they quickly eliminated everyone from the Huangpu family.

Lin Langtian, covered in blood and looking quite battered, respectfully bowed to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan glanced at the corpses strewn across the ground and landed softly, nodding in satisfaction, "Well done."

"Elder…"

Just as Lin Langtian was about to say more, a sudden roar erupted.

The guardian beast below seemed to have caught the scent of blood and let out a sharp cry.

Following that, the ground began to tremble violently.

A massive figure emerged from the crack below.

Everyone looked up to see a gigantic beast, over a hundred meters tall. Its entire body was blood-red, with massive crimson scales covering it.

It had a pair of large, blood-colored wings. When they flapped, the surrounding energy rippled, causing violent winds and stones to scatter.

"Oh no, it's the guardian beast at the Manifestation Realm!" Lin Fan shouted.

Lin Cheng trembled, "That's… That's the legendary Ancient Bloodbat Dragon! And it has the strength of a peak Manifestation Realm!"

Lin Fan's legs went weak, and he instinctively wanted to run.

Lin Langtian shook his head. "Why are you afraid, Elders? Isn't that Elder here with us? What's there to fear?"

"Right, right, I was being reckless," Lin Fan quickly apologized, and the others calmed down, eager to witness the terrifying method Chen Xuan would use to subdue the beast.

However, Chen Xuan didn't bother to move. He simply released the power within him, equivalent to a one-layered Nirvana Realm.

Instantly, the previously ferocious Ancient Bloodbat Dragon trembled as if facing a formidable enemy.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, the colossal creature lay down on the ground, as docile as a kitten.

What… what's going on? Are we seeing things?

The Lin family was stunned. If they had tried to fight it themselves, they would have been its dinner!

Is this the power of a true expert?

At that moment, they all felt incredibly fortunate that Lin Langtian had made the right decision.

They couldn't help but heap praise on Chen Xuan.

"Senior, your might is unparalleled. Just your aura alone tamed this Manifestation Realm beast as if it were a little kitten!"

"The Senior's strength is truly divine, unrivaled in the entire Da Yan Dynasty!"

"Senior…"

…

A group of old men lavished praise on Chen Xuan, a young boy barely in his teens, calling him "Senior" without the slightest hesitation.

Just then, the ground began to shake again.

A terrifying aura emanated from below the crack, as if something dreadful had been awakened.

[Ding! Lin Langtian experiences fear, generating +50 emotion points.]

Lin Langtian whispered internally, "Master Mu, what's happening?"

Master Mu urged, "Lin Langtian, leave now!"

"What's wrong?"

"This aura is terrifying. Without the strength of a Five Yuan Nirvana Realm or higher, there's no way to handle it!"

"What? A Five Yuan Nirvana Realm?"

Lin Langtian's face turned pale.

A Yuan Nirvana Realm could already turn the Great Yan Dynasty upside down, let alone Five Yuan Nirvana.

Who in the Great Yan Dynasty could stop such a force?

Master Mu urged again, "Run for your life!"

"Wait, can he handle it?"

"He's only at the First Yuan Nirvana Realm. How can he fight something at Five Yuan?"

"What?!"

"Don't just stand there! Run! It's already coming out!"

Master Mu's voice was trembling slightly.

Just then, a strange, angry sound echoed through the air, and an immense amount of energy began forming above their heads, creating a massive barrier hundreds of meters wide.

It encased everyone inside.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian's heart sank.

[Ding! Lin Langtian experiences fear, panic, and anxiety, generating +666 emotion points.]

Chen Xuan was startled by the notification, surprised that such a large amount of emotion points came from Lin Langtian.

Alright, alright! He decided to continue observing from a distance and gather more emotion points.

"Bang!"

The Lin family members attacked the energy barrier together, but it had no effect.

Lin Langtian was on the verge of despair, crying out in panic, "Master Mu, think of something! I can't die here!"
