Chapter 1171: Chapter 1170: Two Great Powerhouses from a Century Ago
Actually, everything about the Supreme Ancestor’s words and great achievements was all made up by Lin Fan!
If he didn’t make it up, and the man decided to make a move, wouldn’t it lead to his demise?
Furthermore, there was one thing Lin Fan didn’t lie about; he really is a member of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, and the Supreme Ancestor of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect is indeed called Sun and Moon Daoist!
The man pondered for a moment and asked, "How can you prove that you are a descendant of the Sun and Moon Daoist?"
"Because the Supreme Ancestor has been dead for a hundred years, and I came in a hurry this time without any proof, but One-Finger Zen is a unique skill of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect. Even ordinary disciples find it hard to master. My master once said that this technique was created by the Supreme Ancestor!"
As he spoke, Lin Fan immediately extended a finger and stabbed toward the white jade stone on the ground!
With a dull thud!
The white jade stone shattered, and Lin Fan’s finger penetrated sharply into it, leaving a small hole!
Following closely, Lin Fan’s second finger, third finger, pierced one after another, leaving five finger holes on the white jade stone!
After witnessing this scene, the man’s expression was unpredictable, but his body trembled occasionally, revealing a hint of long-lost longing in his eyes!
"One-Finger Zen is the Sun and Moon Daoist’s unique skill. Back in the day, I wanted to learn from him, but after struggling for three years, I failed. According to him, One-Finger Zen has to be practiced from a young age, and the fingers need to undergo special training from childhood. Your mastery of One-Finger Zen requires at least twenty years of skill. Seeing how young you are, probably only in your twenties, I believe what you say!"
"I never thought, after hundreds of years, a descendant would finally find me. For the past hundred years, I have been waiting for this day to arrive!"
With that, the man suddenly threw his head back and laughed, revealing the joy in his heart!
Afterward, the man said to Lin Fan, "I was a brother of your Supreme Ancestor. I have long forgotten my real name. They called me General Qilin, so you may call me Elder Qilin!"
"Elder Qilin!"
Lin Fan hurriedly bowed in respect.
Just his age of several hundred years was enough to make him Lin Fan’s ancestor, deserving of this bow, not to mention that he was a brother to his Supreme Ancestor!
Meanwhile, Chu Lingtian gave Nie Lei and the others a sign!
Upon understanding, Nie Lei took the lead, knelt before General Qilin, and exclaimed, "Elder Qilin!"
"Elder Qilin!"
The others also knelt and respectfully addressed him!
Subsequently, General Qilin’s gaze fell on Clint and Clare, and he said, "These two look peculiar and disgusting. Are they also from the Sun and Moon Divine Sect?"
Lin Fan said, "Elder, these two are not from the Sun and Moon Divine Sect at all; they are from the Western Blood Clan!"
"Blood Clan?"
General Qilin frowned and said, "I remember, a few hundred years ago, a man named Cain came here. He said he was the king of this Blood Clan!"
"Cain..."
On hearing this, Clint and Clare were utterly shocked!
Cain was the founder of the Blood Clan; without Cain, there would be no descendants like them!
"What happened later?" Lin Fan curiously asked.
"That person was extremely arrogant, and I injured him, causing him to flee. However, his injuries were severe, and I estimate he couldn’t have lived more than two or three years. It has been hundreds of years; whether he is dead or alive, I do not know!" General Qilin said.
"Hiss~"
Lin Fan gasped in disbelief; even the king of the Blood Clan, Cain, was no match for General Qilin. It was unimaginable how terrifying his power truly was!
General Qilin then asked Clint and Clare, "Why have you two come here?"
"Replying to Elder Qilin, earlier they claimed that this place was left as a treasure for them by their Blood Clan founder, Cain!" Lin Fan quickly spoke up, not letting go of the chance to add fuel to the fire and get rid of Clint, this menace!
"Blood Clan treasure? Haha! What nonsense, utterly ridiculous!"
General Qilin laughed loudly twice!
Then, General Qilin said, "Since you two claim this is the land of your Blood Clan, fine, you will stay here. I happen to be short of servants by my side. I want you to open your eyes and honestly see if this place has anything to do with your Blood Clan?"
"Become...servants! Stay...here!"
Clint and Clare exchanged a look, seeing the terror in each other’s eyes!
This clearly meant to imprison them, a fate worse than death!
General Qilin waved his hand and said, "Young one, follow me. I’ll take you to see another person in the sky!"
Then, General Qilin glared at Clint and Clare and said, "You two come with me as well. Do not play any tricks, or you will be executed without mercy!"
With those words, General Qilin turned and began ascending towards the Celestial Palace!
Lin Fan and the others followed closely behind!
As for Clint and Clare, their faces were full of worry!
Passing the stone steps, they finally arrived at the highest point of the Celestial Palace!
Standing before Chu Lingtian was a grand palace, also constructed from white jade stone, with vividly carved images on the surrounding walls. Despite the ravages of hundreds of years, these images remained lifelike and impressive!
Upon entering the palace, the first thing that greeted Lin Fan was eight round columns standing on either side!
Carved upon the columns were Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuan Dance, the four mythical creatures!
At the front, there was a high platform, upon which rested two thrones!
At this moment, a man clad in armor was seated on the throne!
This man had golden eyes, and upon hearing the numerous footsteps, his tightly shut eyes suddenly opened wide!
His gaze was profoundly deep, devoid of any color, like a black hole that could devour one’s soul upon a glance!
Upon seeing Lin Fan and the others, the man exclaimed in surprise, "Qilin, how could outsiders intrude?"
"White Tiger, you would never guess, they are descendants of the Sun and Moon Daoist!" General Qilin laughed heartily.
"Sun and Moon Daoist?"
Upon hearing this, the man sprang up from the throne, a hint of longing and respect shining in his deep eyes!
Lin Fan was full of doubts, unclear why mentioning Sun and Moon Daoist caused such a huge reaction in them. Even as brothers, there’s no need for such intensity, right?
Could it be that his Supreme Ancestor’s identity was not so simple?
The previously locked records on the vellum scroll only told part of the story, and some of it was false to conceal certain truths?
