Chapter 1158: Chapter 391: Sweeping Through Great Unity, Ruining the Scholarly Tradition! (15,000 Words, Four-in-One Chapter)_5

In the ancestral land of the Great Unity Lin Clan behind them, a great battle has left a swath of death and injury.

The remaining people looked at the collapsed ancestral hall and the severed cultural pulse, filled with despair.

That Daoist priestess, she actually attacked the ancestral land of her own clan, and even forced back Lin Zheng, the clan chief of Ninth Heavenly Layer Perfection?!

With Lin Zheng retreating now, the Great Unity Lin Clan faces enormous challenges regarding their next steps.

Fortunately, some elders within the clan are still around, barely stabilizing morale, with some still attempting to rescue the ancestral land, while others scattered.

Some went to investigate the situation of the other major prominent clans, while others attempted another breakthrough towards the world of the Great Han.

A few, concealing their tracks, did the opposite, attempting to explore the possibility of entering the Tang Dynasty Human Realm, hoping to find life in the face of death.

A group quietly found the void gateway that connects the Tang Dynasty Human Realm with the Great Unity.

After passing through the void gateway, what appeared before them was a peaceful world, in stark contrast with the smoke-covered Great Unity behind them.

Nor did they encounter any other Tang practitioners who would block or ambush them.

This let the disciples of the Great Unity Lin Clan breathe a sigh of relief, while they explored this world, they quickly sent a message back to report to the ancestral land.

...But, isn’t it too calm?

The leading Lin Clan elder suddenly sensed something amiss.

He tried to unfold his home, country, and world concept.

Only to end up conflicting with this part of the world!

This indicated that it was not a real mortal world in front of them.

In the ensuing conflict, a richer, more lively cultural pulse unfolded.

The Lin Clan elder’s heart sank.

Before him was also a handiwork of a Great Scholar.

Moreover, the opponent’s cultivation and strength surpassed his own!

No matter how the Lin Clan elder led the other Lin Clan disciples in struggling, it was all futile.

At this point, the world before their eyes gradually became more and more unreal.

They seemed to be in someone else’s painting.

The painting quivered until someone reached out to smooth it out, calming the canvas again.

Zhang Hui held a brush in his hand, smiling as he looked at the members of the Great Unity Lin Clan within the painting.

Beside him, Chu Yu stood with hands behind back, smiling: "Jing Ting’s painting skills have advanced even further, his strokes are godlike."

Zhang Hui sighed with a smile: "I’m still troubled in the field of music, seemingly hard to achieve great accomplishments."

Chu Yu: "We share the same plight in this regard."

She hailed from the Suzhou Chu Clan, known for their excellence in music, and both her personal name and courtesy name originated from this.

But unfortunately, her own achievements in this area were hardly outstanding.

"Yes, we share the same plight."

Zhang Hui sighed, his expression turning slightly serious: "Your aunt currently..."

Chu Yu: "The emperor is no longer in critical condition and has begun preparations for the next stage of cultivation. Although the injuries have delayed progress, from another perspective, it has also brought some additional resources."

"That’s good." Zhang Hui said: "It’s been hard on Aunt Chu during this time, as your cultivation is also at a crucial phase."

Chu Yu smiled and shook her head: "The Great General and Third Lady are the ones at a critical stage, I still need a bit more foundation."

She looked towards the Great Unity: "Have the three true Celestial Masters Xu, Tang, and Lei from the Celestial Master Mansion gone?"

Zhang Hui: "Indeed, as it possibly involves the assault on a deeply-rooted clan’s ancestral land, the difficulty is higher than usual."

Chu Yu looked at the void gateway connecting the Tang Dynasty Human Realm and the Great Unity, then at Zhang Hui’s painting: "Luckily, it seems to have succeeded."

Zhang Hui: "Before Celestial Master Lei reached Mahayana, it was rare for the three true Celestial Masters Xu, Tang, and Lei to act together. Now, seeing the three Mahayana of Dragon Tiger Mountain in concert is truly a rare spectacle, it’s a pity we can’t witness it firsthand."

.........

Zhang Hui and Chu Yu regretted not being able to witness the scenes within the Great Unity with their own eyes.

However, within the Great Unity, most people felt as if they were experiencing doomsday-like scenarios.

Though, there were some exceptions.

A luxurious carriage stood still on the plains.

A few people gathered in front of the carriage.

At that moment, a piercing cold wind swept over from the distant mountains and quickly moved away.

Then, golden light followed closely, disappearing instantly.

Both the cold wind and golden light vanished into the wilderness.

When the cold wind appeared, everyone in front of the carriage lowered their heads.

After both the cold wind and golden light disappeared, the leading middle-aged man raised his head, his eyes shining brightly, looking towards the distant mountains and fields.

Next to him, a young man who appeared to be in his youth spoke softly: "...Father, was that the one from the Lin Clan?"

The leading, well-dressed middle-aged man nodded silently.

Those around exchanged glances but dared not speak.

Only the young man spoke softly: "Judging by the direction, it came from the Lin Clan’s ancestral land, heading towards the Qingliang Plains of the Fang Clan?"

The well-dressed middle-aged man remained silent.

The young man: "I’ve heard that both the Su Clan and Han Clan are in trouble, could the entire situation be changing?"

A person next to him slightly changed expression: "Mind your words, young master."

The son of Duke Rong fell silent for a moment, nodding slightly: "Indeed, as the Qingliang Plains connect with Jiuzhou, they might even connect to worlds beyond, they... still have the potential to make a comeback."

His father, Rong Mugong, finally spoke: "Let’s head back first."

He glanced in another direction while speaking.

On the plains, other carriage teams appeared faintly.

The son of Duke Rong gazed: "That’s Yan Country’s convoy."

The Rong Nation is mainly under the control of the Fang Clan.

While Yan Country follows the influence of the Lin Clan.

Rong Mugong stared into the distance without speaking.

Besides the people of Yan Country, he noticed another group of people.

They seemed to be from the Imperial Capital of Great Unity.

War was sweeping through the Five Prestiges of Great Unity at the same time.

The entire Great Unity, across all levels, would be affected.

Would this determine the future trajectory of the entire Great Unity?

.........

Lin Zheng retreated from his ancestral land, but Tang Xiaotang pursued relentlessly.
