Seeking the Immortal Way

Lin Yan laughed and said: "City Lord, now that the danger has been resolved, I think, these spirit beast will probably never come again."

Hearing Lin Yan's words, the three of them were stunned and looked over once. City Lord Lu Mingyuan frowned and asked Lin Yan, "Are you sure? How do you know that these spirit beast will not come back? "

Lin Ce and Nie Qingfeng also had the same suspicions in their hearts, and they all looked towards Lin Yan, waiting for his answer.

Lin Yan's face was calm, his lips curved up in a curve as he said to the three of them: "It's simple, in this battle, although a few spirit beast have already activated their wisdom and know how to seek profit and avoid harm, the majority of them are still in their original wild state, so their attacks will not have any strategy, it's very simple, their goal is simple."

Pausing for a moment, Lin Yan continued: "Furthermore, in this battle, these spirit beast have almost launched an all-out attack, without any intention of retreating at all. Therefore, in this battle, we will suffer great losses, but after we worked hard, we managed to completely destroy all these spirit beast s. I have determined that these crazy spirit beast have been wiped out, and even if there were such spirit beast, it would not be in a good situation."

Hearing that, the three of them revealed expressions of thought, thinking that Lin Yan's words were reasonable.

At this time, the sun had unwittingly poked half of its head out from the distant mountain top. The warm sunlight shined on the cold battlefield, driving away the cold night air and returning the warmth back to the land.

Everyone went to the restaurant in Ningshui City to eat. It was much quieter than yesterday, after all, the previous cultivators had all died in the battle and disappeared.

Long Fei found Lin Zong in the city and asked him to treat him to a meal. Although Lin Zong did not say anything, he still followed him.

The shopkeeper was in a good mood today as well, and had promised to use three days to treat everyone to a feast. If not for everyone's hard work, the Ningshui City would have ceased to exist long ago.

After ordering some dishes and wine, Lin Yan sat with the rest and drank while talking about what happened during the battle last night.

Lin Zong remained silent as he simply ate a few mouthfuls of food, then picked up his wine gourd and mixed it with wine. He assigned it to an empty table and continued drinking, ignoring everyone else.

Lin Ce glanced at Lin Zong who was not far away and sighed lightly. He also drank his wine with a worried expression.

Lin Yan was a little curious as he walked over to Lin Ce's side and sat down. He glanced at the distant Lin Zong and asked Lin Ce: "You are called Lin Ce, and he is called Lin Zong. Could it be that you are all members of the Lin Clan?"

Lin Ce put down the wine cup in his hand and nodded: "That's right, Lin Zong is my little brother and we are half-brothers. We grew up together, and ever since his mother contracted a terminal illness, after he passed away, he seemed to have become a different person, from that day onwards, he spent all his time drinking and not cultivating. Although he has good talent in the way of the sword, after receiving such a blow, he could not recover at all."

After pausing for a moment, Lin Ce continued: "Later on, when the elders of the clan saw him drinking and sleeping all day, they gradually started to alienate him and at the same time, his position fell by a thousand feet in the clan. Afterwards, Lin Zong had actually disappeared from the Lin Family household at some point in time, but the people of the Lin Family still ignored him and allowed him to go as though he was not there in the Lin Family."

I have also sent people to search for him in the different cities, but they all came up empty-handed. I never thought that I would run into him in this battle, and I thought that he would end up in a miserable state, but looking at his current state, he seems to be in a better state than in the Lin Family. At least, he does not need to think about others.

After hearing the story regarding Lin Zong, Lin Yan nodded slightly, and said with a smile. "The path that everyone has chosen is different, even those experts that have lived for more than a thousand years are the same, they are also constantly searching for the true meaning of life. No matter what, if a person can find their own suitable location, suitable for their own cultivation, even if they have to give up on a few things, it is still a form of consolation for their own heart."

Lin Ce laughed bitterly and said: "What you say makes sense. Since he has already found his own path, I will not obstruct him either, as long as he does not take the wrong path and does not fight on the right path, that is enough. At least on the battlefield, there is no need to fight face to face with him."

The two of them smiled at each other and chatted for a long time before separating.

Lin Ce and Nie Qingfeng completed the mission this time, it was about time for the clan and sect to report to the higher elders about this matter as soon as possible, and have them send people to investigate.

Lin Yan told everyone that it was time to leave Ningshui City and head there.

As he brought the three of them out of the city, Lin Zong followed behind Lin Yan the entire time, as if he was escorting the four of them.

Long Fei was extremely grateful to Lin Zong, since he had saved his life before. If not for him, he was afraid that his group might not have survived this battle.

After thinking for a moment, Long Fei said to Lin Zong: "Brother Lin, how about this, you follow us and move forward, anyway you are a prodigal son of a martial artist, you have the four seas as your home, it would be better for us to move forward together, we can look out for each other."

Lin Zong shook his head slightly, his face still expressionless.

Seeing Lin Zong's attitude, Long Fei was unwilling, so he started to narrate some interesting details about the journey. From time to time, he would laugh out loud, as if he was extremely happy.

However, Lin Zong still remained indifferent, ignoring his attitude, as if everything he said had nothing to do with him.

Arriving near the city gate, Lin Zong consciously stopped and took out his wine jug, minding his own business and drank.

Long Fei continued to work hard, trying to persuade Lin Zong to go with him.

Seeing that, Lin Yan patted Long Fei's shoulder, and laughed: "Forget it, everyone has their own path to take. Even if he promised to follow us, after we finish the mission, I'm afraid that we won't be able to bring him to join our sect. So, why force him to do it?"

Hearing Lin Yan's words, Long Fei felt that it was reasonable and sighed. He turned around and said goodbye to Lin Zong, then turned and left.

Lin Yan arrived in front of Lin Zong and fished out a white jade pendant. This jade pendant was made of extraordinary materials and was extremely exquisite in terms of carving.
