A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 170

Chapter 170: The Heart Must Be Ruthless

“Father, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have offended this person. Otherwise, the grave of our Lin Family Ancestor wouldn’t have been robbed.” Lin Xukun apologized to Lin Tian’en, his tone laden with guilt.

However, Lin Tian’en stood up and gently shook his head.

“Son, you indeed owe an apology, but not because you offended this person; it’s because you were not ruthless enough!”

“As my son, Lin Tian’en, you can kill whoever you want with me backing you up. As the Young Patriarch of the Lin Family, you must harbor a ruthless heart to solidify your status.”

“Since the other party dared to offend you, do not let mercy extend their life a bit longer; instead, be merciful by granting them an earlier release!”

“Since this matter arose from your actions, it will be up to you to resolve it. If they could escape from an Immortal King, then their strength should not be underestimated. Therefore, I will have ten Immortal Sovereigns and three Immortal Venerables follow your orders and ensure the other party is dealt with in the shortest time possible. Do you have the confidence?”

Looking into Lin Tian’en’s trusting gaze, Lin Xukun felt a heavy weight but still nodded firmly in agreement.

“I understand, Father. I won’t let you down; I will definitely defend our Lin Family’s dignity with the other party’s head!”

“Good, that’s my son, Lin Tian’en. Go!”

Lin Tian’en waved his hand, sending Lin Xukun on his way.

After Lin Xukun left, Lin Tian’en’s gaze grew profound. Lin Xukun was already one hundred thirty-five thousand years old, having reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. If Lin Xukun managed to resolve this matter, then he himself should step down from the position of family patriarch and focus on breaking through to the Immortal Emperor.

Moreover, he felt that he was on the verge of touching the Immortal Emperor’s bottleneck; if he could breakthrough to that level, the Lin Family’s status in the Upper Realm would rise significantly.

Little did he know, the individuals he had offended, Wu Yifan and Duan De, were terrifying beings. If he had realized this, he would have long knelt and begged for mercy from the Lin Family to the Ancient Desolation Holy Land.

But it was too late; Wu Yifan and Duan De had already begun to take action.

Because their faces had been exposed, they were currently disguising themselves while navigating the Upper Realm; otherwise, they would have been reported to the Lin Family by their spies long ago.

After escaping from an Immortal King, the Lin Family raised the bounty from one Immortal Sovereign Artifact to two, compelling the previously hesitant Immortal Sovereigns to spring into action and hunt down Wu Yifan and Duan De.

This forced them to change their appearances to maintain a low profile.

“Holy Son, are you ready?”

Looking at the grave in front of them, Duan De suppressed his excitement and glanced at Wu Yifan.

Wu Yifan nodded.

“Ready? Then let’s go for it!”

For some reason, after their first attempt, Wu Yifan seemed much more skilled on the second try. This left Duan De astonished; after all, he had become this proficient only after robbing ten graves.

Could it be that their Holy Son was inherently a Tomb-Robbing Sacred Body?

However, Duan De didn’t dwell on that; the most important thing right now was robbing the tomb!

With their previous experience, Wu Yifan and Duan De worked exceptionally well together this time, quickly taking away all the burial items of the Lin Family’s ancestors.

It wasn’t until ten minutes after they left that Lin Tian’en received the news and rushed over with a dark expression. But by the time he arrived, Wu Yifan and Duan De had already vanished without a trace.

“Damn little thief, if I catch you, I will definitely torture you to death, breaking your body into a thousand pieces!”

Lin Tian’en shouted through red eyes. These were the ancestors who had sacrificed themselves for the prosperity of the Lin Family; now they weren’t even resting in peace after death, which made it impossible for him, as the patriarch, to find any peace himself. So he could only vow to shred Wu Yifan into pieces!

However, half a month passed quickly, and Wu Yifan and Duan De still hadn’t been captured. Instead, another ancestral grave of the Lin Family was robbed, further breaking Lin Tian’en’s mentality.

Time flew by, and a full year had passed. During this short year, with the exceptionally coordinated efforts of Wu Yifan and Duan De, they achieved a terrifying milestone of robbing thirty-five Lin Family ancestral graves.

This shocked Duan De; after all, even he had taken ten years to rob thirty-five graves beforehand, yet with Wu Yifan, they accomplished this in just one year.

It could only be said that some people are simply not cut out for this line of work, while others, even if they don’t want to, will have opportunities presented to them.

“Holy Son, why don’t you rob graves with me from now on? I swear that the entire Upper Realm’s graves will quake at the sound of our names.”

Duan De enthusiastically said to Wu Yifan, as if he could already envision a glorious future.

However, hearing this, Wu Yifan couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. He could already imagine how that would look; it was somewhat, no, very embarrassing. He wanted his name to be known throughout the Upper Realm because of his own strength, not because of tomb robbing.

“Alright, over the past year, we’ve already made the Lin Family very angry, so let’s keep a low profile going forward. Also, I plan to advance the Ancient Sacred Body to the twelfth level; otherwise, I won’t be able to resist the Lin Family’s high-end combat power.”

“So let’s go into seclusion for a while; besides, we haven’t even used the spoils taken from the Lin Family ancestors yet, so it’s perfect for us to digest them.”

Upon hearing Wu Yifan’s words, Duan De also nodded, then snorted coldly and said.

“Since that’s the case, let’s give the Lin Family some luck and let them enjoy it for a while. When we emerge, it will be the Lin Family’s turn to fear all their ancestors buried in the ground!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Yifan didn’t think too much. This was the advantage of joining a powerful force; if you demonstrated enough talent, the resources you needed would be provided to you.

Now, he was ready to advance his Ancient Sacred Body to the twelfth level, matching the Immortal Sovereign!
