Chapter 1821 - 326: True Lord

After eating, Run Sheng rode the tricycle while Li Zhiyuan, Tan Wenbin, and Lin Shuyou sat in the back.

The wind carried a chill, and the mist was thickening, as the sky showed hues of dawn.

The group was not heading home but to the airport located in Xingdong Town.

Tan Wenbin asked Lin Shuyou, "How did you tell Mr. Li that we're going to your hometown?"

Lin Shuyou: "I said my grandfather is celebrating his eightieth birthday."

Tan Wenbin: "Nice, that's an improvement, that's a clever excuse."

...

"Lin Fu'an, you dog, how dare you have the nerve to celebrate your birthday at home?"

The three kicked the door in and, upon seeing the arrangement inside, directly shouted angrily.

The trio were the temple masters of three temples, led by Ma Kuo Sheng, followed by Gao Yuan Yi and Ding Jucheng.

The temples behind them were much smaller in scale compared to the Lin Family Temple. In past temple meetings, these three always sat at the far end.

"Cough cough…" Lin Fu'an walked out with a cane. Although he tried to straighten his back, his face was a pale white.

Behind him, sitting in a chair carried out by two disciples, was Chen Shoumen, who could no longer even stand.

These two were the strongest Divination Children in the Lin Family Temple, but now they were severely injured.

Ma Kuo Sheng sneered, "Lin Fu'an, how do you still have the face to live? If I were you, I'd have jumped into a well to drown myself!"

Lin Fu'an looked at the three, retorting:

"Yes, the Lin Family Temple was the first to agree to merge the temples, but wasn't the Ma Family Temple, Gao Family Temple, and Ding Family Temple second, third, and fourth?

If I were to jump into a well, I'd need a large one, because you three would follow me, queue behind."

"You..."

"Isn't it because your Lin Family Temple didn't resist!"

"If your Lin Family Temple hadn't surrendered first, how would we end up in this situation?"

Lin Fu'an coldly watched them.

He felt guilty for agreeing to merge the temples.

Indeed, he was ashamed facing the fellow Divination Children who were suppressed for resisting these days.

But truthfully, actually, the Lin Family Temple was the first to resist, and they themselves and his disciples were severely injured, near death, only recently recuperated.

Moreover, to come and scold him, others would be understandable, but what were these three, who had the face to visit and reprimand?

Lin Fu'an: "The day after tomorrow is the day of the conference, whatever spit you have, save it for then.

I had no interest in celebrating this birthday, but had to set up this banquet, thus closing the door to celebrate alone. Gentlemen, I apologize for not hosting you.

Close the door, see the guests out!"

"Bang!"

Ma Kuo Sheng stepped forward, sending two disciples of the Lin Family Temple flying.

Then, he feigned with his right fist, extended his left arm, stomped hard, his eyes fierce like a tiger, his aura intimidating!

Lin Fu'an watched, puzzled.

Since some time ago, more than half of the Lords of Yin could no longer be sensed; the remaining ones were sluggish when they occasionally descended, and Zeng and Sun were not allowed to divinate.

However, the Tiger Lord summoned by Ma Kuo Sheng through divination was vigorous, and not only had it recovered, it was stronger than before.

Gao Yuan Yi and Ding Jucheng smiled, each playing with their weapons, not anxious to perform divination.

After all, in this present environment, a Tiger Lord's descent alone was enough to flatten this temple.

Ma Kuo Sheng spoke: "Lin Fu'an, I want you at the conference the day after tomorrow to admit you're ranked below us three!"

Lin Fu'an replied without hesitation: "Fine!"

He finally understood, these three came for the new ranking, the position anyone can fight for, he truly didn't care for.

If not for orders coming through Ah You, Lin Fu'an would have already led all disciples from the temple to gather other temples for rebellion, but since the message had arrived, he could only comply.

Moreover, he secretly contacted many temples, using his past reputation and old face as a guarantee, advising them to not rush to rebel, just agree for now.

It may be heroic to fight against insurmountable odds, but that's a last resort. As long as they act, this land will surely be preserved.

However, this very action of his, in the eyes of uninformed temples, was seen as typical of one who knelt and led the way. Even the group of mysterious people felt he was savvy, knew how to obey, thus spreading the notion of making the Lin Family Temple a new benchmark.

Unexpectedly, resentment followed.

Seeing Lin Fu'an agree so readily, Ma Kuo Sheng was surprised, then seemed enlightened, saying:

"Heh, you think someone will back you at the conference, thus you're fearless!"

Lin Fu'an sighed; he had someone to support him indeed, but not that group.

Ma Kuo Sheng: "It seems, I have to teach you a lesson. Here's the deal, you will now write a document, the Lin Family Temple is split today, leaving one shrine, the rest of the god registers and disciples will be divided among us, as punishment, to set an example!"

Hearing this, Lin Fu'an smashed his cane to the ground in anger: "You have the face to set an example for me?"

Ma Kuo Sheng: "Then I'll show you if I have that face!"

"Roar!"

A tiger roar echoed, Ma Kuo Sheng leaped, pouncing towards Lin Fu'an.

Though his temple was small, he was still a temple master, and with the Tiger Lord soaring, the surrounding Lin Family Temple disciples tried to protect and block, but were continuously forced back by the tiger roar.

Seeing this, Lin Fu'an intended to forcibly summon divination, but as soon as the energy was gathered, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

At that moment, a figure descended, grabbing Ma Kuo Sheng's neck from behind, spinning him around, then fiercely flinging him.

"Boom!"

Ma Kuo Sheng slid face down into a pillar.

A face adorned with white patterns, and the vertical gaze opened, Lin Shuyou stood before Lin Fu'an, a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, looking down at them.

Gao Yuan Yi and Ding Jucheng immediately performed divination, soon their Yin Gods descended, and their aura surpassed their previous fullness.

In this moment, these three Yin Gods, were indeed anomalies among anomalies.

The two Yin Gods directly spoke:

"Child, how are you here?"

"Child, how dare you return!"

Lin Shuyou: "Child? You dare call me that, now, you should…"

"Buzz!"

The next moment, Lin Shuyou appeared before the two, swiftly passing between them, the golden mace in his hands sweeping across their chests.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The two temple masters who had just succeeded in divination were smashed to the ground.

"Honor me as——True Monarch!"
