Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

"If the rules allow, I will fight."

Chang Wen answered readily.

The main objective now is to get forces like the Demon Ruins to come to the aid of the Northern Wilderness, and time is of the essence.

If his participation can solve the problem, he will definitely participate.

"it is good."

Lin Wanli's eyes were full of admiration. He hadn't expected that Chang Wen, who seemed so gentle, would be so efficient and decisive in his work, which suited him perfectly.

After finishing his conversation with Chang Wen, he looked at the five hundred elders of the Taotie clan and said, "Although there is a way out of this matter, we must also be wary of the other four clans."

Then the tone shifted.

"They are very likely to disagree with Chang Wen representing the Taotie Clan in the battle, so we need to prepare for both possibilities."

"Lin Xiu, Lin Zhan."

He looked at the two boys in the center of the hall.

Chang Wen followed the gaze and saw that the two boys were about the same size as Lin Yuan and were both at the eighth level of the Integration Realm.

"Senior Brother, looking at it this way, Fourth Brother is actually considered handsome in their clan."

Su Xiaoman glanced at the two boys and then transmitted her voice to Chang Wen.

Chang Wen...

"Xiaoman, although that's the truth, we can't just judge other people's appearances."

Why?

"because……"

The whispered conversation between the two senior and junior disciples did not affect the situation on the field.

Lin Xiu and Lin Zhan both clasped their hands in greeting to Lin Wanli and said in unison, "Present!"

"Um."

Lin Wanli nodded, "Let's proceed with what we agreed on before. We'll hold the elders' vote tomorrow. Also... if you insist on having a match, that's also tomorrow."

After speaking, he looked at everyone and asked, "Any objections?"

"no."

The elders responded in unison.

"Wait...wait a minute..."

Just then, Lin Yuan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly raised his arm, causing everyone to look over.

"Yuan'er, you're awake!?"

Lin Wanli immediately knelt down and helped Lin Yuan up, his eyes filled with excitement.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Yuan raised his hand to stop him, then stood up on his own and dusted himself off.

After doing all this, he imitated Chu Xinghe's usual manner... with one hand behind his back and a calm expression, he said, "Father, uncles, please rest assured."

"Now that I've returned, I naturally cannot be absent from the battle for the rise and fall of my people."

what?

Lin Wanli and the five hundred elders were immediately invigorated, as if a surge of energy had been lifted from their hearts.

But after thinking about Lin Yuan's peak Void Refinement stage strength, he lost his nerve.

You're only at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, wouldn't it be a waste of your time to go?

Even Lin Xiu and Lin Zhan couldn't get past this hurdle...

Bai was suddenly excited.

a long time.

Lin Wanli sighed with relief, gently patting Lin Yuan's heavy body with his large hand. "Yuan'er, I'm very pleased that you think of our clan, but this battle is not child's play. So don't cause trouble here."

"Father, please don't try to persuade me. As the young patriarch of our clan, how can I hide myself at such a crucial moment?"

Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he removed Lin Wanli's hand. He then surveyed the hundreds of high-ranking members of the Taotie clan and slowly spoke, "My esteemed uncles and elders, if you do not agree to my participation in the competition, even if our clan wins, I will feel no sense of involvement. And if I were to truly become the clan leader in the future, how many of you would genuinely trust me?"

After saying that, he turned directly to Chang Wen and said, "My senior brother once said that favorable circumstances nurture people, while adversity forges gods. Only by achieving victory in impossible situations can one truly grow."

"So, I'm going to participate in tomorrow's competition too."

Elders...

Chang Wen...

How come his lyrics were copied here?

It has to be said that Lin Yuan was a completely different person after returning to his family.

It seems that he completely inherited the habits of him, Chu Xinghe, and Chen Changsheng.

"Senior Brother, isn't this what you said to Xiaoman? How come Fourth Brother is even taking up what you said to Xiaoman...?"

Su Xiaoman expressed her incomprehension.

"Calm down, your fourth senior brother just wants to splurge a little."

Chang Wen explained to Su Xiaoman on his own.

……

The situation continues.

After Lin Yuan proposed to join the war, Lin Wanli and the five hundred elders looked at each other in disbelief, not expecting such a thing to happen.

"Well……"

An elder hesitated before speaking, "Young clan leader, you've only just returned, you don't know anything about the war yet. Let Lin Xiu and Lin Zhan go instead."

"That's right. Although you are currently at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, you are too young. Your combat experience is definitely not as good as Lin Xiu and Lin Zhan's, so you will inevitably suffer losses on the battlefield."

The elders echoed this sentiment.

"Yes, young clan leader, you now bear the legacy of your ancestors, and it's only a matter of time before you grow stronger. But in the battle ten days from now, they certainly won't hold back. What will happen to our clan if something happens to you?"

The other elders also spoke up, most of them disagreeing with Lin Yuan's decision to fight, for a variety of reasons.

Lin Yuan...

He never expected that his desire to fight for his family would be met with such great obstacles. Having grown up alongside Chang Wen, he had never personally experienced such a situation before, and he immediately lost his composure.

He could only send a telepathic message to Chang Wen, "Senior Brother, what should I do now?"

Chang Wen...

What do we do now? When you first told them, why didn't you think about what to do now?

However, Lin Yuan was someone he had raised himself, so he couldn't just abandon him.

He could only bow to Lin Wanli and the elders, saying, "Uncle Lin, seniors, I raised Lin Yuan myself, and I know his true strength. Although he speaks bluntly, his combat power is not as strong as it seems. He should be able to fight these two fellow Daoists before me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan immediately gave Chang Wen a grateful look. His senior brother was truly devoted to him, always ready to help when needed.

"this……"

The elders exchanged glances, seemingly unsure of what to do. They could only look to Lin Wanli.

"Since you put it that way, let's see just how far this kid has grown tomorrow."

Lin Wanli made the decision immediately, then looked at Lin Xiu and Lin Zhan, "Add one more person to tomorrow's competition. We'll discuss the rules again tomorrow. Do you two have any objections?"

"Chief, no."

The two looked at each other and answered in unison.

"Since you have no objections, the matter is settled. Meeting adjourned."

Lin Wanli looked at the Great Elder of the Taotie Clan, "Great Elder, you are in charge of arranging accommodations for Young Friend Chang Wen and Fellow Daoist Lin. I'll go and take Lin Yuan to meet his mother."

"Yes, clan chief."

The Grand Elder respectfully responded and came to Chang Wen and the others' side, "Fellow Daoist Lin, young friend Chang Wen, please follow me."

As Chang Wen and the others left, Lin Wanli did not linger. He took Lin Yuan away from there and headed to Lin Yuan's mother's residence.

Only Lin Xiu, Lin Zhan, and the elders remained in the arena.

"I never expected a young clan leader to appear out of nowhere..."

Lin Xiu gazed in the direction Lin Yuan had left, his expression complex.

For him and Lin Zhan, if Lin Yuan didn't return, they would undoubtedly be the focus of the clan.

Now that Lin Yuan has returned, all eyes in the clan are on him. It's impossible not to feel a little jealous.

Are you feeling unwell?

Lin Zhan knew what Lin Xiu was thinking.

"It's very uncomfortable."

Lin Xiu nodded.

"Since he's not feeling well, then I'll give him a good beating tomorrow, hehe."

Lin Zhan chuckled.

"I definitely need to beat him up, but not now."

Lin Xiu transmitted his voice to Lin Zhan, "The clan elders aren't fools. They won't entrust such an important matter as the God King Battle to eighteen-year-old Lin Yuan, even if he is the young clan leader."

"you mean……"

Lin Zhan pondered.

"What I mean is..."

Lin Xiu smiled and continued, "There are very few elders who will vote for him tomorrow, so he won't be a contender for the spot. As for beating him up, let's talk about that when he grows to the same level as me... After all, I never bully the weak."

"reasonable."

Lin Zhan nodded, then looked at Lin Xiu, "Then you should go back and get some rest. Tomorrow, unleash your full strength and fight me."

"it is good."

Lin Xiu responded and then left.
