On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!

"Clan Chief Lin still needs to be wary of that Holy Lord. It is said that in that Immortal Secret Realm, that Holy Lord fought against three opponents, and the three half-immortals were unable to subdue him, allowing him to escape unharmed in the end."

"Furthermore, I heard that the patriarch of the Nine Rings Palace was seriously injured by that Holy Lord, and there has been no news of him since. Some people are spreading rumors that the patriarch of the Nine Rings Palace has died from his injuries."

Mu Su's expression was very serious, and she was quite wary of the Holy Lord.

Mu Su considered himself to be among the top warriors in the Divine Continent among those in the Half-Immortal Realm, but he believed he couldn't possibly escape unscathed from the interception of three Half-Immortal Realm warriors and even seriously injure one of them.

But the Holy Lord from the Eastern Continent accomplished it, which is enough to prove the Holy Lord's extraordinary nature.

Of course, the one in front of us, Lin Xuan, who was able to uproot the Holy Clan and force the Holy Lord out of the Eastern Continent, is truly terrifying.

"Hehe, since I was able to defeat him the first time, there will be a second time. Those who are defeated by me will not have a chance to catch up with me."

When Lin Xuan defeated the Holy Lord, he was only at the Martial Emperor realm. Now, Lin Xuan has entered the Half-Immortal realm, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. If he were to encounter the Holy Lord again, Lin Xuan would have absolute confidence in defeating him once more.

Unless the Holy Lord breaks through to the True Immortal realm within this timeframe.

However, breaking through to the True Immortal Realm is not so easy; otherwise, the Holy Lord would not have thought of unifying the Eastern Continent and relying on the fortune of the entire Eastern Continent to break through.

"Although I don't know why, I trust Chief Lin very much. I believe that the Holy Lord will be captured by Chief Lin sooner or later. Chief Lin, please drink this cup."

Mu Su looked at Lin Xuan with a smile on her face, and gently picked up a cup of fragrant tea.

Lin Xuan smiled slightly upon hearing this and immediately picked up the teacup on the table.

The welcoming banquet hosted by the Hehuan Sect for the Lin Clan ended quickly that afternoon.

Lin Xuan stood directly above Tianhe Valley, gazing into the distance towards the First Ring.

"Clan Chief Lin, are you unable to sleep through this long night?"

A pleasant voice entered Lin Xuan's ears.

Lin Xuan turned around and saw that the person who had come was Mu Su.

Mu Su was dressed in a black outfit that hugged her figure perfectly, showcasing her curves beautifully. The words "curvy" and "full-figured" seemed tailor-made for her.

"Sect Master Mu hasn't rested yet either?"

"Yes, the Thousand Pride Tournament is in about half a month. In my opinion, this year's Thousand Pride Tournament will be more intense than any previous one."

Mu Su also looked in the direction of the first ring road, just like Lin Xuan.

"I heard that Chief Lin's other purpose in coming to Shenzhou was to visit the Feather Clan, is that right?"

Lin Xuan wasn't surprised at all that Mu Su knew this news, since Mu Qianqian and Mu Lingji were still very clear about what had happened back then.

Mu Qianqian returned to the Hehuan Sect ahead of schedule, and she will most likely explain these things to Mu Su.

Lin Xuan neither denied it nor felt the need to deny it.

"Yes, I definitely need to go to the Feathered Clan, probably in a few days."

Lin Xuan's gaze remained fixed on the direction of the first ring road.

"If that's the case, I think Chief Lin must make a trip to the Feather Clan within seven days."

Mu Su remained expressionless, her face as cold as ice.

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Mu Su with some confusion.

Mu Su crossed her hands in front of her lower abdomen, her eyes not looking at Lin Xuan.

"Chief Lin has just arrived in Shenzhou and probably doesn't know yet, but in seven days, Gu Tianxu, the young chief of the Gu Clan, will go to the Yu Clan to propose marriage. The person he is proposing to is naturally Yu Xi, the eldest daughter of the Yu Clan."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed sharply, a fierce glint flashing within them.

"How long does it take to get to the Feathered Clan from here?"

Lin Xuan was not angry; instead, he asked calmly.

However, those familiar with Lin Xuan know that at this moment, Lin Xuan is at his most terrifying and furious.

Mu Su could also keenly sense how terrifying the anger emanating from Lin Xuan was.

"If we use the power of a half-immortal to travel to the Feather Clan at full speed, it will only take us less than three days."

"However, just like Shenfeng City, you need to obtain a pass to pass through the boundary between the second and first ring roads."

Lin Xuan completely ignored the second sentence.

What pass? If Lin Xuan wanted to, the Second Ring Road couldn't stop him, but the First Ring Road was debatable.

After all, the land of Shenzhou is full of hidden talents, and Lin Xuan needs to act with caution.

But if Lin Xuan really pushes him too far and unseals all the seals on the Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword, then everyone will die!
"Alright, I understand. It seems I'll have to go to the Feathered Clan within seven days."

Lin Xuan took a deep breath. Yu Xi was the woman he had chosen. Even if the ancient clan was the number one family in the Divine Continent and even the world, Lin Xuan would never back down.

Mu Su also exhaled a breath of fragrant orchid, and her eyes showed more appreciation as she looked at Lin Xuan.

A prodigy with extraordinary talent, unparalleled combat prowess, measured in his actions, handsome in appearance, and loyal and righteous—such a hero is truly a rare find, even in the vast world.

"How about this, let the rest of the Eastern Continent settle in our Hehuan Sect for now. Clan Chief Lin, you go and deal with the Feather Clan's affairs. Come back when you're done. Otherwise, it would be too much trouble for you to take the entire Eastern Continent to the Feather Clan."

This marks the third time the Hehuan Sect has extended a helping hand to the Lin family.

The Hehuan Sect would not offer to lend Lin Xuan, an expert, to the Feather Clan, since that would truly mean a complete break with the Feather Clan and the Ancient Clan.

The Hehuan Sect is a large and powerful family. If it were to completely break ties with the ancient clans, the entire Hehuan Sect might be destroyed.

Mu Su dared not gamble, nor could she gamble.

Lin Xuan understood Mu Su's feelings. He was already very grateful that Mu Su had helped the Lin family take in Lin Fan and the others to continue living there.

To put it bluntly, Lin Xuan, the leader of the Hehuan Sect, taking in people from the Eastern Continent can be seen as putting himself in opposition to the ancient clans.

If the ancient clans really want to investigate, the Hehuan Sect will not be able to escape.

"I am truly grateful for Sect Master Mu's help."

Lin Xuan bowed slightly to Mu Su, expressing his gratitude first.

Mu Su quickly stepped forward and extended her soft hand to lift Lin Xuan's clasped fist.

When their hands touched, Lin Xuan didn't feel much, only that Mu Su's hands were very soft and smooth, and had a delicate orchid fragrance that was refreshing.

Mu Su's face flushed slightly, but fortunately it was night, and she quickly concealed the blush.

"Oh, by the way, before this, did Clan Chief Lin have any knowledge about those six ancient clans?"

Mu Su proactively changed the subject. Lin Xuan shook his head slightly. He truly knew nothing about these mysterious six ancient clans, only that they had existed for a long time and possessed immense strength, capable of annihilating a major power within the third ring with a mere flick of the wrist!

"The six ancient clans are the Ancient Clan, the Flame Clan, the Sima Clan, the Xu Clan, the Thunder Clan, and the Feather Clan."

"Originally there were eight ancient clans, but the Feng clan and the Zhou clan were wiped out ten thousand years ago. Since no other clan has been able to join the ranks of the eight ancient clans, the situation of six ancient clans has been formed."

Mu Su explained things to Lin Xuan very clearly, starting directly with the eight ancient clans in history.

"How were the Zhou and Feng clans wiped out?"

Lin Xuan was also somewhat curious about this.

Two of the eight ancient clans were wiped out. What kind of being could have accomplished that?

Mu Su was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at Lin Xuan with a strange expression before slowly speaking after a long while:

"Hehe, this is related to your Eastern Continent."

"Related to Dongzhou?"

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he immediately realized what was going on.

Ten thousand years ago, the only people with the power to destroy the two ancient races of the Divine Continent were from the Eastern Continent. There was only one person who could do it, and that was Bai Xiaosheng!

"Does Sect Master Mu mean that the president of our Eastern Continent All-Knowing Scholars Association wiped out the Zhou Clan and the Feng Clan?"

Lin Xuan still needs to confirm this.

Mu Su nodded slightly, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

"It is said that the all-knowing scholar was quite close to a powerful force within the Second Ring Road, and was a close friend of the force's patriarch."

"Then the Zhou clan and the Feng clan, for their own selfish reasons, killed the ancestor of that force, and also slaughtered all of the ancestor's descendants, and even wanted to destroy that force."

"Just as they were pressing in with their troops, Bai Xiaosheng appeared. When Bai Xiaosheng learned that his friend had been killed and that his friend's descendants had been wiped out, he was furious. He single-handedly wiped out the Zhou Clan and the Feng Clan. He truly destroyed two ancient clans by himself. That incident shocked the entire Divine Continent. The other six ancient clans did not dare to breathe loudly, for fear of being targeted by the bloodthirsty Bai Xiaosheng."

Lin Xuan was also amazed by this story. He never expected that the former president of the Hundred Knowledge Society was so powerful. Millions of people from the two ancient clans had become victims of the president's blade. He was a very terrifying person.

"Furthermore, in order to revive his old friend's power, President Bai Xiaosheng would visit that power from time to time to let others know that he was protecting that power. Because of this, that power has now become the strongest power within the Second Ring."

"The strongest force within the Second Ring Road?" Lin Xuan really didn't know.

"Yes, it is called Fengqing Sect. It is a super power whose strength is comparable to that of the ancient clans. Even when facing the six ancient clans, it will not give them any face."

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing the name. Feng Qing Sect, how come it sounds so similar to the name of Vice President Qing Feng?

"The Fengqing Sect is very strong, but the six ancient clans have extremely deep foundations, so they are still recognized by the world as the first-tier forces. In particular, the Gu family among the six ancient clans is ridiculously strong. When facing the ancient clans, Clan Chief Lin must be extremely careful."

"The Gu family?"

Lin Xuan reached out and rubbed his chin. This wasn't the first time Lin Xuan had heard of the Gu family, the head of the ancient clans. Everyone in Shenzhou seemed to be convinced when they heard about the Gu family.

It seems that the strength of this ancient clan is indeed significantly greater than that of the other five ancient clans.

"This time, the marriage partner of Yu Xi, the eldest daughter of the Feather Clan, is none other than Gu Tianxu, the young patriarch of the Ancient Clan. Patriarch Lin, you must be careful of this person."

Mu Su's gaze towards Lin Xuan suddenly became serious, especially when she mentioned the name Gu Tianxu, Mu Su raised her voice slightly.

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly; this wasn't the first time he'd heard of this person.

Mu Su knew that Lin Xuan wasn't very clear about things in Shenzhou, so she immediately continued to explain:

"Gu Tianxu is the young patriarch of the Gu clan and a super genius who once dominated the entire Divine Continent. He is known as the number one genius in the Divine Continent for ten thousand years."

This title was indeed somewhat intimidating, but Lin Xuan remained expressionless.

"Why only the greatest prodigy in ten thousand years, and not in one hundred thousand years?"

Mu Su was slightly taken aback by Lin Xuan's question, completely dumbfounded.

If others heard what he said, they would ask him about Gu Tianxu's strength and achievements.

However, Lin Xuan's thought process seemed particularly peculiar, as he actually asked such a question.

"Clan Chief Lin, you really don't care."

Mu Su looked at Lin Xuan, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I just want to know, since they're already this powerful, why don't the ancient clans boast about them being the number one genius of the past 100,000 years?"

Lin Xuan felt nothing about the title of the number one genius in ten thousand years.

Gu Tianxu was able to receive this honor, which naturally meant he had the ability, but Lin Xuan did not think he was inferior to Gu Tianxu.

"A prodigy who appears only once every hundred thousand years..."

Mu Su couldn't help but smile slightly as she said this.

"There's nothing we can do. Who told you that your Eastern Continent produced a genius like Bai Xiaosheng? This Bai Xiaosheng was a prodigy who single-handedly conquered the Divine Continent. Back then, the ancient clans were all dealt with by Bai Xiaosheng. That's why those ancient clans didn't dare to boast about being the number one genius in ten thousand years."

Mu Su also sighed when she talked about this matter.

The prodigies of the Eastern Continent could actually make the entire Divine Continent grovel at their feet.

Bai Xiaosheng was a legend on the land of Shenzhou. No one could say anything bad about him. Even the ancient clans that had been rampant for hundreds of thousands of years had to admit that Bai Xiaosheng could wipe them all out!
"Senior Bai Xiaosheng is indeed a legend, but I am no less than him. Perhaps the one who will wipe out your Divine Continent in ten thousand years is me."

Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Mu Su, a faint smile on his lips.

Mu Su was also stunned for a moment. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Lin Xuan was not bragging. Lin Xuan really had the ability to make the entire Divine Continent prostrate at his feet!
"I don't know why, but I just feel like you can do it. Perhaps Chief Lin is the next Bai Xiaosheng."

A strange emotion flickered in Mu Su's eyes.

Lin Xuan didn't notice Mu Su's unusual behavior; his face only showed a confident smile.

"Hehe, then I'll take advantage of Sect Master Mu's auspicious words."

"Clan Chief Lin, if you need any help, our Hehuan Sect will definitely support you. Please don't be shy with me."

Mu Su looked at Lin Xuan and suddenly became serious.

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly and turned to look at Mu Su, who suddenly turned her head back.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with Sect Master Mu."

In an instant, the garden was filled with the colors of spring.
