Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan

"As for turmoil, those below the mountain with Zhang family bloodlines are the biggest source of trouble."

Lin Jinshan suddenly spoke.

Lin Xiuqi gave his third brother a look and said, "I know what you're thinking, but don't think about breaking the rules. Otherwise, if one day my Lin family encounters the same fate as the Zhang family, our bloodline will truly be severed."

In the world of cultivation, the destruction of a force is not uncommon, but there is an unwritten rule that the bloodline of ordinary people associated with that force cannot be tampered with.

"When my Lin family firmly establishes its position in the coming days, I will contact the Foundation Establishment forces in the surrounding counties and sell all those ten thousand-plus Zhang family bloodlines to them. The quantity is not large, and I believe they can handle it.

"This time, when Second Brother goes to the Tianyuan Mansion, you can also check if the Nine Peaks Sect needs them. We can send a batch over from our side."

Lin Xiuqi said in a calm tone.

The methods for handling such matters had already been explored by those who came before.

Those ordinary people born with the bloodline of cultivators are more likely to possess the aptitude for cultivation and spiritual roots. Therefore, for other cultivator forces, spending some spirit stones to acquire such ordinary human resources is not a loss.

There is mutual understanding among them. The buyers would intentionally disrupt the lives of Zhang family members and marry them off to ordinary people within their territory.

These Zhang family members essentially had no deep emotional connection with the Zhang family. After all, there's a clear distinction between cultivators and ordinary people. They rarely interact with Zhang family cultivators, and over time, any emotional ties fade away.

Moreover, the children they bear, even if they possess the aptitude for cultivation, would be taken away by their respective forces and would have no emotional connection with their birth families. There was no need to worry about any future impact.

"Right now, the most important thing is to enhance the strength of our Lin family. We have three top-tier combatants, which is sufficient. However, among the lower-level Qi cultivators, we only have twenty-one. Which Foundation Establishment force has so few members?"

Lin Xiuqi's expression turned somewhat grim. Speaking of this matter, Zhang family had been eliminated unjustly; otherwise, their Lin family, which now had over a hundred cultivators, wouldn't be in this embarrassing situation.

"In any case, right now, there are only two options. The first is to improve the treatment of all Lin family cultivators and help them enhance their personal strength as soon as possible.

"The second is to encourage childbirth and reward all children born to Lin family members, regardless of whether they possess the aptitude for cultivation."

Lin Shanhai suggested from the side.

Lin Xiuqi nodded in agreement; this was the only way forward now.

…

Yuanyang Town,

One of the thirteen towns under Renhuai County.

The First Rank force in Yuanyang Town was the Yuan Yang Sect.

Inside the sect, there were over seventy cultivators, three at the ninth layer of Qi Condensation, and seven at the eighth layer of Qi Condensation. At this moment, all ten of them had gathered in the Yuan Yang Sect's main hall. They stared at the message passed down by the Lin family and remained silent.

"Let's discuss it. How should we handle the news from the Lin family?"

At the head, Yuan Yang Sect's sect master, Chi Yang, looked at the people below and spoke. With long, crimson hair and an appearance in his seventies or eighties, he wore a red robe, giving him an imposing look.

"Sect Master, did Lin family really destroy the Zhang family?"

A middle-aged man at the eighth layer of Qi Condensation at the lower end of the table questioned.

Chi Yang glanced at him and nodded.

"This matter has probably already spread throughout the entire Tianyuan Mansion by now. Lin family relied on a Foundation Establishment Realm Monster Python, which was something no one expected. The destruction of the Zhang family seems somewhat unjust."

"Sect Master, in my opinion, we shouldn't go to Azure Heaven Mountain."

The middle-aged man's expression turned somewhat serious.

"Tianyuan Mansion is the territory of our human race. The Nine Peaks Sect won't acknowledge the Lin family, especially with a Monster Python among them. The Lin family doesn't have a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator; it's clear who's in charge at a glance."

Hearing this, the people present showed a slight change in expression.

Indeed, the Nine Peaks Sect wouldn't allow a Monster Python to control a human force, occupy human territory, and grow stronger. Furthermore, the Lin family lacked a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, so according to the rules, they couldn't promote to a Second Rank force and rule over Renhuai County.

"I agree with Elder Tie's suggestion. We can't go to Azure Heaven Mountain."

"I also agree."

"I also don't agree to acknowledge a Monster Python as a Upper Sect's leader."

…

In the blink of an eye, among the ten people present, aside from the three Ninth Layer Qi cultivators who didn't express their opinions, the other seven all refused the Lin family's summons.

"Cough, in my opinion, no matter what, we must go."

Suddenly, at the head of the table, Vice Sect Master Lou Jinyong, who had been silent all along, spoke.

The entire hall fell silent, and everyone's gaze turned toward this vice sect master who didn't often voice his opinions. Seeing their reactions, Lou Jinyong smiled kindly.

"The Lin family's message is clear. In three days, whoever doesn't go will bear the consequences. Let's not discuss everything else for now. We also don't know the attitude of the Nine Peaks Sect. You might as well consider whether our Yuan Yang Sect can withstand the Lin family's wrath."

As his words fell, the hall became deathly silent.

The recent events left the seven individuals in silence, their heads bowed. The Zhang family had been wiped out, and what could their Yuan Yang Sect use to oppose that, their heads as offerings?

At the head of the group, Chi Yang and Fu Che exchanged a glance. The result was no surprise to them. They had remained silent because they understood one thing: regardless of the Lin family's current situation, the single fact that they possessed the power to annihilate their Yuan Yang Sect was sufficient.

"All right, three days from now, Vice Sect Master Lou and I will go to Azure Heaven Mountain with five hundred spirit stones. For now, Vice Sect Master Fu will handle all sect matters."

Chi Yang spoke with a somewhat helpless tone. Blame it on the fact that Yuan Yang Sect lacked its own foundation establishment cultivator.
