Chapter 1559: Chapter 807: Before Departure_2

At this moment, the number of clansmen present was almost about to break through the five thousand mark.

Such a grand scene was actually extremely rare in the Lin Family over the past century.

After all, the total number of cultivators in the entire Lin Family had not reached ten thousand.

Among them, besides those who stayed in the family to cultivate in seclusion, some clansmen were scattered across various territories under the Lin Family’s control for guarding duties.

Additionally, there were clansmen tasked with overseeing certain spirit land industries or joining the Luoyun Commerce Alliance, thereby traveling among the Seven Southern Countries of Qingzhou.

A few were traveling in various regions of Qingzhou.

Among them, the farthest traveling clansmen were naturally Lin Tianming and his party in Jinfeng Nation.

Apart from them, some clansmen were in various nations surrounding the Wei Kingdom, and even at the junction of Jingzhou and Qingzhou, seeking treasures and undergoing trials.

Except for these clansmen outside, those in the Wei Kingdom actually accounted for about eighty percent of the entire clan.

Excluding those who couldn’t leave due to garrison duties, those who could quickly gather back to the family were almost just those present.

In such circumstances, the commotion within the Lin Family Clan Grounds was extremely rare in the past few decades.

This also indicated that the Lin Family’s actions were significant, with a highly prominent goal.

On this foundation, the Sect Entrance Plaza was particularly lively, and the overall atmosphere was extremely vibrant.

As the gathering clansmen became fewer, those who arrived earliest had already been there for a while.

Until rays of various colors streaked through the sky with astonishing speed, the initially lively atmosphere immediately quieted down.

As everyone looked up, they saw the figures of Lin Xingrong, Lin Xingping, and others.

Behind them were Lin Tianyue, Lin Tianqin, and other newly advanced Golden Core Stage clansmen.

At this time, many present blushed with excitement at the sight of Lin Tianyue and others, especially sensing the faint aura emanating from them.

The reason being that almost everyone here was unaware of Lin Tianyue and the others’ successful breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.

Although the process of each clansman’s tribulation was not small in scale, it seemed unrealistic for the family members to be completely unaware.

Over the years, the family treated the clan members’ tribulation process as a top secret, always giving it utmost importance.

Typically, when a clansman was attempting to advance to the Golden Core Stage, the family would carefully control the area around the retreat site.

Even during the significant event of the threefold lightning tribulation, the family would try their utmost to cover it up.

This was mainly to hide the true strength of the Lin Family as much as possible.

However, such top-secret events like attempting to reach the Golden Core Stage were not secrets among the Lin Family’s high-level members.

Even among some core clansmen, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator might know some important information.

Nevertheless, Lin Tianyue and the others had not long since their breakthroughs to the Golden Core Stage, and the family had intentionally concealed the matter.

Under such circumstances, in recent years, unless the family intended to reveal it, the clansmen of the Qi Refining Level would be completely unaware of any breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.

It was the first time Lin Tianyue and others were publicly showing themselves in the family after reaching the Golden Core Stage Realm.

Because of their appearance and the faint aura they revealed, the atmosphere was immediately reignited.

The previously temporarily calm atmosphere once again reached a feverish level.

Soon, however, the clansmen calmed down.

Everyone present saluted, with peers and elders greeting Lin Xingrong and others.

To this, both Lin Xingrong and Lin Tianyue appeared very polite.

Thus, in the vibrant atmosphere, there was a grand meeting between the Lin Family’s upper and lower echelons.

After a while, more streaks of light broke through the air.

This time, it was Lin Shikang and several elders who arrived.

Among them, besides several Shi Generation clansmen, there were also Xing Generation members like Lin Xingzhi and Lin Xingyuan.

With their arrival, nearly ten Golden Core Stage clan members were gathered at the Sect Entrance Plaza.

Such a grand scene, with so many Golden Core Stage clan members, was also extremely rare in the Lin Family in recent decades.

Under these circumstances, the originally vibrant scene was pushed to its peak.

Finally, Lin Shikang raised his hand to suppress the lively atmosphere.

At this moment, Lin Shikang, the eldest by seniority and age, scanned all the clansmen present.

Lastly, Lin Shikang’s gaze landed on Lin Xingrong and Lin Shilu.

Then, Lin Shikang spoke: “Shilu, Xingrong, how are your preparations?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Shilu was the first to respond: “Third Brother, the team accompanying us has been fully assembled.”

“Everything planned is being executed steadily.”

As the words fell, Lin Xingrong on the other side continued.

“Reporting to Third Uncle, we juniors are all prepared!”

Hearing these words, Lin Shikang nodded, showing a satisfied expression.

Soon after, Lin Shikang couldn’t help but offer some words of advice.

Until Lin Shilu, Lin Xingrong, Lin Xingping, and Lin Xingyuan all nodded and responded with determined tones did Lin Shikang feel reassured.

Subsequently, Lin Shikang took another look at the many clansmen present, his eyes showing a resolute expression.

Then, in the next moment, looking at Lin Shilu and Lin Xingrong, he resolutely said: “Since everything is ready, let’s set out!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Shilu and Lin Xingrong nodded.

Then, each waved their sleeves and several flying boats of varying colors and sizes appeared in their hands.

Glancing out, these flying boats numbered six, each a magical treasure-level flying item.

These flying boat treasures were the spoils of war obtained by many Lin Family members over the years of battles across the land.

These included flying treasures obtained from the destruction of the Golden Sword Sect and those scavenged by Lin Tianming after defeating some Golden Core Stage cultivators.

Additionally, some flying boats were treasures obtained by other Golden Core members.

However, the number of such treasures obtained by other clansmen was relatively small.

After all, aside from Lin Tianming, other Golden Core clansmen rarely engaged in battles of their level, leading to fewer opportunities to obtain spoils.

The chances of obtaining flying boat treasures were even rarer.

In contrast, Lin Tianming had been continuously on military campaigns for the past fifty years, setting foot in numerous countries of Jingzhou.

On the Qingzhou land, he had visited nearly half of the countries.

Crucially, more than thirty Golden Core cultivators had perished at Lin Tianming’s hands, whether they were Loose Cultivators or Golden Core Experts from various sect families.

Among them, the majority were powerful and had exceptionally strong backgrounds.

Notably, experts like Song Xin from the Yuanchen Sect and Jiang Haifeng of the Blood Red Alliance were Golden Core Grand Perfection cultivators with profound backgrounds.

In such battles of the same level, Lin Tianming obtained many treasures, including a considerable number of flying boat magical treasures.

As a result, most of the flying boat treasures acquired by Lin Tianming were turned over for the family’s use.

Therefore, the Lin Family had no shortage of flying boat treasures.

Today, the fact that Lin Shilu and Lin Xingrong each brought out several flying boat treasures did not stir the hearts of the high-level clansmen.

However, the lower-level clansmen, with limited strength, had never witnessed such a grand scene.

Thus, with the appearance of these flying boats, it immediately caused a great uproar.
