Lin Xun made many announcements at the meeting.


    For example, the arrangement of duties for each member of the Lin n after unifying the coteral branches, which was an extremely trivial andplicated matter.


    It concerned the benefits and interests of every coteral branch and so had to be properly resolved. Otherwise, it could lead to internal strife.


    Lin Xun allowed Lin Zhong to take charge of the matter. He nned to discuss and consult with the higher-ups of the coteral branches before making any arrangements.


    Additionally, Lin Xun made arrangements for cultivating the younger generation of the Lin n, revising the rules and regtions of the n, and expanding and strengthening the Mind Cleansing Peak...


    They were all affairs that arge n had to first handle. If not properly arranged, troubles would arise sooner orter.


    Fortunately, Lin Xun only had to provide a general framework to deal with those matters and then hand over the specific affairs to other people to take care of.


    At the end of the n meeting, Lin Xun announced something unexpected. It was regarding the sessor of the head of the Lin n!


    He announced that he might leave for a long period and had to hand over the position of the n leader to someone in the n to ensure the continued development of the Lin n.


    He then announced the rules forpeting for the position of the sessor of the Lin n. The sessor who could take on the huge responsibilities of the Lin n would be selected from the four coteral branches of the Lin n within ten years.


    All nsmen from the four coteral branches could participate in thepetition, but Lin Zhong would be the one deciding the result.


    Lin Zhong held the Shattered Tragedy Spear, the treasured weapon of the n, and would act as the guardian of the n to assist the chosen n leader with all his powers!


    This important arrangement was made by Lin Xun and Lin Zhong after a long discussion.


    They had no other choice. Lin Xun couldn’t watch over Mind Cleansing Peak all his life. He still had many matters that he needed to resolve. Based on that, the safest course of action was to select a new n leader within ten years to take charge of the Lin n.


    Upon hearing the announcement, the members of the four coteral branches of the Lin n were allpletely stirred up. They almost couldn’t believe it.


    Even Lin Beiguang, Lin Xixi and Lin Yunheng, the important figures of the older generation, were all frozen with shock.


    No one imagined that Lin Xun would make ns and arrangements for choosing the next n leader as soon as he took over the Lin n.


    It proved that Lin Xun had no desire for the position of the n leader.


    Many important figures donnedplicated looks. If they knew about that earlier, would they choose to fight against Lin Xun?


    Everything happened because they viewed power too highly!


    The rest of the n members were filled with excitement and fighting spirit!


    The Lin n had already shaken the Forbidden City. Its power was strong enough to deter the high ns from offending them.


    As long as there was no ident, natural or man-made, the Lin n would soon return to the ranks of the high ns!


    The one lucky enough to take charge of the Lin n and be the n leader could be said to have achieved instant sess!


    They would be a character feared and respected by countless people in the Forbidden City and could sit on an equal footing with the noblemen!


    That person would be born from the four coteral branches of the Lin n! Although ten years wasn’t considered a short period, who wouldn’t still be tempted by the position?


    Lin Huaiyuan’s heart pounded.


    Lin Beiguang, Lin Xixi and Lin Yunheng had already begun to n how to cultivate a candidate capable of taking on the great responsibility of the Lin n in the next ten years.


    However, they all knew that thepetition would be difficult but also fierce.


    None of the four coteral branches would sit and do nothing and allow the Lin n sessor to emerge from the other coteral branches!


    This was exactly the purpose of Lin Xun’s arrangement. He wanted the four coteral branches topete!


    Only a fiercepetition could help cultivate and select a sessor with the ability to take charge of the Lin n


    Of course, Lin Xun also arranged for Lin Zhong to supervise them to prevent malicious intentions and internal strife.


    ……


    After the n meeting, Lin Xun headed to the ancestralnd at the rear of Mind Cleansing Peak by himself. He stood silently in front of the memorial tablets of the Lin n ancestors for a long time.


    The tables were engraved with the name of his great-grandfather Duke Daochen and the names of his parents, grandfather and other rtives.


    They felt very familiar yet also very unfamiliar.


    This was because he had never met them before.


    But he knew that he had already integrated into the Lin n and be a direct descendant of the Lin n, so he needed to take care of some matters by himself.


    For example, avenging his parents and rtives!


    ……


    It was dusk, and the setting sun painted the sky a fiery red hue.


    The area around the ancestral shrine was extremely peaceful and quiet.


    When Lin Xun left, he saw Lin Tianlong, Lin Nianshan and Lin Feifeng who were imprisoned in the ancestralnd.


    Lin Xun calmly informed them about the n meeting before he left.


    Lin Tianlong and the others stood there in a daze, their expressionsplicated and mncholic.


    They had betrayed the n and had been confined to the rear mountain to repent for their sins. They might never be able to leave there for the rest of their lives.


    At first, they were bitter and resentful, but when they learned about Lin Xun’s arrangements for the next sessor, they epted their fate.


    They even felt gratified and happy, knowing that someone from their n might be at the helm of the Lin n in the future!


    This was hope. It made them willingly stay there to repent for their sins. Even if they were to spend their entire life there, at least, there was still hope!


    ……


    Following the n meeting, Mind Cleansing Peak became busier and busier day by day. Everywhere was full of busy activities.


    Spirit Vulture had been in closed-door cultivation, refining the Demon Tribtion Poison and restoring his cultivation.


    Lin Zhong, Xiaoke and Third Old Zhu all had affairs to deal with and were incredibly busy every single day.


    The nsmen from the coteral branches of the Lin n, the vigers of Feiyun Vige and the servants on Mind Cleansing Peak were also very busy.


    Everyone was filled with an indescribable fighting spirit. The Lin n had resolved their internal problems and fought off enemies. They seemed to have been reborn.


    At least, the current Mind Cleansing Peak Lin n was known throughout the Forbidden City!


    On the contrary, Lin Xun was very leisurely. Apart from training, he only weed and received some distinguished guests.


    Additionally, he also penned letters to the Stone Cauldron Alms, the Ning n and the East Sea Ye n to express his gratitude.


    After all, Fortune God Shi and the others had secretly protected him when he was facing off against Qin Cangjia, a Life Death Stage King. He would never forget their kindness.


    As for Zhao Tai, he hadn’t shown up at Mind Cleansing Peak. It was as though he had forgotten about what happened in Rotating Stars Hibernating Moon House.


    Lin Xun found it a little strange at first, but he soon forgot about the matter.


    Although Zhao Tai didn’te, Shen Tuo, the head lecturer of Qinglu Academy’s Rune Department, suddenly came to visit.


    On the same day, Lin Xun left Mind Cleansing Peak with Shen Tuo on a carriage, heading for Qinglu Academy


    It had been almost half a month since Lin Xun returned to the Forbidden City from the Spirit Burial Sea. As an instructor of the rune department, Lin Xun had neglected to resume his teaching duties at the rune department.


    However, Shen Tuo reassured him that it was a trivial matter and that everyone understood his reason.


    As the carriage passed through the central area of the Forbidden City, a fierce battle was being broadcast on the huge rune transmission light screen.


    Wielding a jet-ck spear, a youngster in a moon-white robe fiercely fought against six Cyclic Derivation cultivators in the air. The collision of the splendid beams of light produced terrifying but gorgeous shock waves.


    Passersby all paused in front of the light screen, heads raised and staring unblinkingly at the duel shown on the screen. They all held their breaths as they watched and asionally burst into surprised exmations.


    “That…”


    Lin Xun was taken aback. Isn’t this my battle against the Cyclic Derivation cultivators that day?


    “The news was first broadcast half a month ago, and it has been reyed countless times already. Even so, it still attracts a huge crowd of people every time.” Shen Tuo exined.


    Even he lost hisposure when he saw the battle for the first time.


    In the current Forbidden City, anyone who hadn’t heard about the duel didn’t deserve to be a resident of the city!


    That was the influential power of the battle. Even now, the aftereffect of the battle was still spreading through the city. More and more people came to learn about Lin Xun.


    The young master is unrivaled, his brilliance fills the capital!


    Everyone thought of Lin Xun when they heard that praise!


    Many cultivators in the Forbidden City started toin that Lin Xun was always in the limelight. No matter where they went, the inns, tea shops or in the streets, they always heard about him.


    Even the singers in the brothel wrote lyrics and music about Lin Xun.


    Lin Xun withdrew his gaze from the light screen and couldn’t help asking, “Brother Shen, what’s the matter? Why did you ask me toe to Qinglu Academy?”


    Under Shen Tuo’s insistence, he started to call Shen Tuo ‘Brother’.


    In Shen Tuo’s view, Lin Xun had already earned the respect of any rune master with his status as a rune founder. Moreover, Lin Xun was now a peerless genius who swept the capital with his brilliance.


    Shen Tuo didn’t think he was worthy of being called Elder by Lin Xun anymore.
