"The lamp is out...the ancestor's soul lamp is out!!"

In the hill behind Lin's house, a shrill scream broke the morning tranquility.

The disciple who was guarding the soul lantern rushed out of the side hall of the ancestral hall, his face so pale that there was no trace of blood, as if he had seen the most terrifying ghost in the world.

In just a few dozen breaths, the entire Lin family compound seemed to have been thrown into the calm lake with a huge boulder, and a huge wave instantly set off.

Sounds of breaking through the air sounded one after another, and several streaks of light rushed towards the ancestral temple at extremely fast speeds.

The ancestor, Lin Xuanhe, was the Lin family's only foundation-building late-stage overhaul, and was the sea-fixing needle that allowed the Lin family to gain a foothold within a hundred miles.

If he fell, most of the Lin family's sky would collapse.

In front of the stone door of the secret room of the ancestral temple, the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.

"Great Elder, inside... the spiritual power fluctuations inside are extremely violent, and the disciples dare not break in!"

The gatekeeper knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

Standing at the front was a middle-aged monk wearing a black robe and a gloomy face.

He looked to be about sixty years old, exuding the spiritual pressure of the early stage of foundation building. He was Lin Chongshan, the direct elder of the Lin family.

Lin Chongshan stared at the closed stone door, and the ring finger of his right hand trembled slightly unconsciously.

There was no sadness in his eyes, but instead a kind of uncontrollable enthusiasm and tension.

"Stand back, I will check it myself!"

Lin Chongshan shouted deeply, flicked his sleeves, and his powerful spiritual power turned into a powerful seal, which hit the stone door's mechanism heavily.

Rumble.

The stone door slowly opened wide, and a heat wave mixed with the rich smell of blood and violent collapsing spiritual power rushed towards the face, stirring up smoke and dust all over the ground.

Lin Chongshan was the first to dash into the secret room.

The sight that caught his eye made the elders who were directly following him at the ninth level of Qi Refining take a deep breath.

In the middle of the secret room, Ancestor Lin was seen sitting cross-legged in the center of the original spirit gathering array with his five hearts pointing toward the sky.

However, his originally gray face was now a reddish color, his eyes were wide open, full of unwillingness and madness, and a pool of black and red blood at the corner of his mouth had long solidified, staining the clothes on his chest shockingly.

Not only that, there were faint traces of blood seeping out of the acupuncture points all over the ancestor's body, the meridians were severed, and the late-stage foundation-building cultivation in the body had been completely dispersed.

The spirit gathering formation under him was shattered to pieces by the violent spiritual power, and the ground was covered with dense slash marks of sword energy.

"The meridians flow backwards, Qi and blood are exhausted, and the dispersion of energy backfires..."

A direct line elder stepped forward tremblingly and carefully scanned the body of Ancestor Lin with his spiritual consciousness. His face was extremely ugly:

"Ancestor... this is how he failed to forcefully attack the bottleneck of the golden elixir before the end, and he ended up going crazy and losing power!"

"What a shame! If our ancestor could achieve the golden elixir, why would my Lin family be so isolated in a corner?"

Another man sighed.

Lin Chongshan said nothing.

He walked step by step to the body, his eyes swept over the traces of violent spiritual damage, and finally landed on a blue jade slip in the dust beside Old Ancestor Lin.

With a flash of light in his eyes, he calmly took the jade slip into his palm, and his consciousness instantly penetrated it.

Inside the jade slip, a familiar soul power wave that was domineering, cold, and revealing endless weakness and despair suddenly came from:

"This time I tried to break through the golden elixir. Although I had the help of Gathering Spirits, God's way was ruthless and my success failed. The deadline has come! Hateful! What a shame!

After the old man passed away, Lin Chongshan, the direct elder, temporarily took over the position of the clan leader and took charge of the whole clan.

Lin Yuan, a disciple from the side branch, has a single spiritual root and is quite suitable for me.However, it is a pity that I was unable to complete the teaching.Three doses of Fuku Yanghun Decoction were specially given to soothe his heart.The family must do its best to cultivate and not let the pearl be covered in dust..."

Sensing this soul power that could never be forged in the late stage of foundation building, and the appointment given to him between the lines, Lin Chongshan's beating heart finally fell back into his stomach.

"Huh..."

He exhaled a long breath, and the trembling of his ring finger quietly stopped.

‘It seems that this old guy really couldn’t hold on any longer and took a desperate risk.’

Lin Chongshan sneered in his heart.

Once the ancestor died, Lin Chongshan alone had the final say in the Lin family.
