Qin Batian, as the ancestral grandmaster of the Formation Sect and also the strongest among them, naturally, no one dared to disobey his orders.
Under normal circumstances, given Qin Batian’s status, even if the disciples caused great disturbances, as long as it didn’t threaten the development of the sect, an ancestral grandmaster wouldn’t easily intervene.
However, this situation was somewhat different, the disciples unexpectedly found Qin Batian personally intervening.
In fact, Qin Batian’s actions were not solely for the protection of Lin Chen, but also for those who were opposed to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen’s capabilities, such as creating Demon-Suppressing Talismans and Demon-Removing Talismans, and possessing the strength to eliminate Xue Yuanqing, were extremely valuable resources for the Formation Sect.
If these people bore grudges against Lin Chen, they would inevitably face his retaliation in the future.
Lin Chen was also aware that once he returned to the Formation Sect, Qin Batian would not sit idly by.
Therefore, he decided to risk everything and directly confront Yu Chuan, Huang Chengming, and others.
If Qin Batian did not make a move, Lin Chen still had other cards to play, such as relying on the power of Master Qingxu.
During this time, Lin Chen’s Divine Soul Power had significantly improved, and Master Qingxu had also recovered his consumed Soul Power.
As for Huang Chengming, Lin Chen had already conducted a detailed investigation of him.
Since being a Law Enforcement Elder, Huang Chengming had been in the Formation Sect for a thousand years. Although his cultivation had reached the Nirvana Realm, because he hadn’t fought in a thousand years, his bat power might not be as good as before, unable to pare with the Ten Great True Disciples.
Thus, Lin Chen believed that if a fight really broke out, he was pletely confident in defeating Huang Chengming.
However, just as Qin Batian’s words began to spread within the Formation Sect, an immensely huge energy fluctuation suddenly shot up into the sky, exploding from a certain direction within the Formation Sect.
The direction of that energy fluctuation was precisely that of the Ouyang Family.
At that moment, the power was immense, the light soaring into the sky, far surpassing any advancement phenomenon Lin Chen had ever seen.
Clearly, it was Ouyang Xingzheng, the Ouyang Family’s ancestral grandmaster who had broken through his cultivation, reaching the Peak of the Nirvana Realm.
"Ouyang Xingzheng has broken through, reaching the Peak of the Nirvana Realm!"
Qin Shangfeng’s plexion instantly changed, his brows tightly furrowed, as he looked towards the direction of the breakthrough, his heart filled with anxiety.
Ding Xingzheng, originally not surnamed Ouyang, but rather Ding.
Ten thousand years ago, he married a female head of the Ouyang Family and joined the Ouyang Family, changing his surname to Ouyang.
Later, after the death of that female head, Ding Xingzheng’s cultivation gradually grew stronger and he became the oldest ancestral grandmaster of the Ouyang Family.
The people of the Ouyang Family no longer dared to call Ding Xingzheng by the surname Ouyang, and instead reverted back to calling him by his original name.
At this moment, Qin Shangfeng naturally guessed that the only one who could cause such a miraculous scene was Ding Xingzheng breaking through, reaching the Peak of the Nirvana Realm.
This put Ding Xingzheng’s cultivation on par with their Qin Family’s ancestral grandmaster Qin Batian, both having reached the Peak of the Nirvana Realm.
Moreover, since the Ouyang Family’s ancestral grandmaster had just made a breakthrough, his lifespan was at its peak, unlike their Qin Family’s ancestral grandmaster Qin Batian, whose lifespan was running out.
Qin Batian was older and with not much lifespan left, making it extremely difficult for him to achieve a breakthrough.
Furthermore, due to the limitation of lifespan, Qin Batian’s bat power could also be inferior to Ding Xingzheng, the newly advanced Peak of the Nirvana Realm.
From now on, the Ouyang Family might bee arrogant and domineering within the Formation Sect, pletely disregarding the Qin Family members.
Qin Shangfeng’s face instantly turned very unsightly, knowing that the day when they peted for the Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine on Lin Chen, it was the ancestral grandmaster who advised him to give up.
Because if that Spirit Medicine fell into Ding Xingzheng’s hands, it would enhance his cultivation further, adding a powerful figure to the Formation Sect.
However, now with Yu Chuan being so arrogant, Qin Shangfeng was somewhat doubtful in his heart, wondering if their ancestral grandmaster’s decision was really right.
"Elder Qin, could you introduce me to Grandmaster Batian?"
After seeing the advancement phenomenon in the sky, Lin Chen flew to Qin Shangfeng and asked.
Qin Shangfeng was surprised and taken aback by Lin Chen’s proactive approach.
Knowing that the Ouyang Family’s ancestral grandmaster had just made a breakthrough, facing a crushing situation against their Qin Family, others in the Formation Sect might curry favor with the Ouyang Family and distance themselves from them.
However, Lin Chen was still actively trying to befriend their Qin Family, which made Qin Shangfeng feel somewhat pleased.
Lin Chen’s talent was so exceptional that even if he was currently facing setbacks, he would definitely bee a powerhouse in the future. Building a good relationship with such a future powerhouse was naturally a good thing for the Qin Family.
"Young Master Lin, please follow me."
Qin Shangfeng was extremely polite to Lin Chen since the ancestral grandmaster had informed him that Lin Chen was no ordinary person; the small Eastern Domain, or even the entire Mysterious Heaven Continent, was not his stage.
Subsequently, Qin Shangfeng led Lin Chen towards the direction of the Qin Family.
They did not go to the residence of the Qin Family but arrived at a cave dwelling on the Qin Family’s back mountain.
Outside the cave dwelling, many Spiritual Medicines were thriving with life. However, these Spiritual Medicines couldn’t bring vitality to the dying Qin Batian.
With Qin Shangfeng’s guidance, Lin Chen entered the cave dwelling and saw Qin Batian, who was close to burning out.
Qin Batian’s body and Divine Soul, along with his Vital Energy, were all in dire condition. If it weren’t for Qin Batian’s protection during the Endless Sky battle, he might have been able to last another decade, but now, he was likely not long for this world.
Qin Batian waved his hand, Qin Shangfeng bowed to Lin Chen before leaving, leaving only Lin Chen and Qin Batian to talk in private.
"You young fellow, you do have some courage. Ding Xingzheng just broke through to the Peak of the Nirvana Realm, and yet you dare e here, not afraid that he will e after you for settling scores."
Qin Batian’s voice, though aged, was still strong, yet Lin Chen knew, this was just a façade.
Qin Batian turned around, revealing his aged face, sizing up Lin Chen.
