Chapter 325 - Lin Family in Westbrook (1/2)
Proofread by Claire.KK
Lin Zhong led Lin Xun to Treasure House, another forbidden area of the Lin Family.
There were five parts in the Treasure House, which contained all kinds of spiritual tools from the lowest human level to the highest heaven level.
Among them, there were different weapons such as swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, as well as spiritual tools like shoulder guards, wrist guards, boots and breast protector.
There were some other powerful weapons as short crossbows, gun crossbows and battleships.
But now, it was empty here…
When Lin Xun came out of the Treasure House, he let out a horrible killing intent around his body although his expression didn’t change any.
His anger was almost out of control!
Let’s imagine how amazing the treasures would be stored by a top power that once in the top ranking families of the Empire?
But now, it was all ransacked!
Lin Xun would have vomited blood and died if his mind hadn’t been honed hard. The ancestor of Lin Family would not die in peace if he saw this scene.
After leaving the Treasure House, Lin Xun was taken to all the core forbidden areas of Lin Family such as Pill Pavilion, Beast Yard and Plant Garden.
Without exception, all valuable treasures in it had been swept away.
When Lin Xun returned to Heart-cleansing Hall, he sat alone motionless like a silent sculpture without any emotion.
Out of the hall, the moon hung up high in the sky and stars were bright. Everything was quiet.
The young people sitting alone in the hall born turbulence in his mind and he could not subsided it for a long time.
He could foresee that the present Lin Family was in decline, but he did not expect that the whole Heart-cleansing Peak would be ransacked completely!
There was only a pile of empty houses and furnishings left, and nothing else valued.
This was the tough situation he should face!
Lin Zhong stood at the side of the hall and looked at Lin Xun with worry that Lin Xun could not face the reality but completely lost his morale.
Such a big Heart-cleansing Peak, one of the 72 Mountains of Aristocracy that represented supreme glory, had nothing valuable things in it.
15 minutes passed
Half an hour passed
An hour passed
…
As time went on, Lin Xun was silent all the time, which made Lin Zhong worried more. He felt regretted telling Lin Xun these things tonight at this very moment.
His young master was only a teenager after all. He was too young to take over such a mess. How could he suffer such cruel attack?
“Young master…”
Lin Zhong took a deep breath to comfort Lin Xun, “We can… we can give up the plan. Nothing is important than your life. ”
Lin Xun, who was like a clay sculpture, finally had a reaction.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Zhong with a meaningful smile on his lips, “Granddad Zhong, you’d better kill me if you let me give up the plan at this moment. I have no choice right now.”
After a pause, he stood up and looked at the vast night outside the hall. He said, “When I went into the Forbidden City, someone told me that I could make a great deal of trouble as I want. At that time, I wondered why he would say this. Now I finally understand that if I don’t make some troubles, there’s no hope for Lin Family of resurrection! ”
At the end of the speech, a piece of chill appeared in his voice.
Lin Zhong was shocked. Looking at the young man in the distance, he suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable peace in mind as if he saw the posture of his master when he was young.
At that time, his master Lin Weijing married Qingxun under the opposition of all the people, with the same determined will.
Struggle to make it even though thousand people are against it!
…
Heart-cleansing Hall was very large. It was divided into three floors.
On the first floor was the hall for holding clan meetings.
The second floor was a study room specially set up for the patriarch to deal with clan affairs.
The third floor was a quiet room for the patriarch to practice.
Before long, Lin Xun sat in front of the empty desk in the study room, rubbing a crystal purple seal.
The seal was engraved with the word Heart-cleansing. Its whole body was made of unknown materials, which was filled with a mysterious and obscure breath.
This seal was the key to master Heart-cleansing Hall. Only by mastering it could one open the channels in Heart-cleansing Peak.
That was to say, if Lin Xun closed the channel, no one could enter Heart-cleansing Hall without his permission unless he broke in!
However, as one of the 72 peaks, anyone who wanted to break in should consider the consequences first.
This thing was originally kept by Lin Zhong, but now it was handed over to Lin Xun. It meant that from now on, regardless of other clan power, Lin Xun had the only right to control the channels of Heart-cleansing Peak.
But in Lin Xun’s opinion, this thing could not play a role in solving internal problems. The key was his strength!
Thinking of this, Lin Xun put away Heart-cleansing Seal and took out a simple silver hairpin.
This was given by Shu Sanchi, the general instructor, when he left Bloodthirsty Camp. He told Lin Xun that he could take this thing to Vulture House if he met trouble in Forbidden City. Its owner would help Lin Xun at that time.
