72 Chapter 72 Lin Clan’s Origin (1/2)

Quiangdu Country.

Envoy Hu arrived at his home country in just five days using only his qigong. If Lin Xulian and Feng Jun Yi knew about this, they would surely vomit blood. It took them two weeks to reach the An valley where the main headquarters of the Jianghu is located. From there it would take another month to reach the Quiangdu. Envoy Hu even run a few errands along the way but he still reached the country in such speed.

Envoy Hu immediately went to the King's castle on top of a hill. The building is different than the palaces of other countries. It is made out of stone that is piled up together. It is also the only unique building in the country. Inside the castle, envoy Hu immediately saw the king sitting on his throne. Behind him is a huge midnight black stone placed like an altar. With the small bracelet, Feng Jun Yi didn't notice the mysterious force inside the stone. But with the huge stone inside the castle, you can feel the force flowing that's caressing every fiber of your being. No need to guess that the stone is the key to their youthful look and long life.

The King looks like an old man on his 80s. But he is surely much older than that. He has full head of white long hair and white beard. The emperors of other countries wore golden clothing and accessories, but the King of Quiangdu only wore a plain white robes with necklaces, ten rings and bundles of bracelets made out from the black stone. Despite the plain clothing and old age, you can still feel his strength and his good looks is still noticeable. He is currently leaning on his seat while massaging his temples seemingly worried about something.

”Master your servant has returned.” Envoy Hu announced his presence. The King prefers to be alone most of the time so there is no one to announce his arrival.

The King glanced at envoy Hu with a hopeful expression. ”How was it Hu?”

”The Feng bird chose a master. It chose the Gonglu country's empress.” Hu said in a deadpan voice. But deep inside he is also shaken.

The King's eyes widened in surprise. ”An empress? As expected for a Lin.” The King is surprised. The bird is not an ordinary bird. It is linked to the Lin's bloodline. They would only choose the descendants of the Lin clan as master. From the start, the bird was never meant as a gift. It is used to search for the Lin's descendants.

”So those brothers of mine went to the Gonglu country. They ran away after I inherit the throne to play. I became too busy because they weren't there to help me and my time to have a descendant came and pass without me noticing. They should at least leave behind a child! Now all I can do is remain alive while searching for their descendants. I can't even be away from the castle for a few days or I might get sick and die before I can take them back! Adventure my a**! I'll beat them up when I meet them again whether in the afterlife or even after we get reincarnated!” The King is obviously Lin Xulian's ancestor, Lin Zuizhong. The brothers he is referring to are the two Lin brothers who mysteriously appeared in the Blood mountain more than a century ago.

Hu listened to the King's ranting and waited for him to finish before continuing his report. ”The empress also has an older brother, Lin Huang. There are two Lin brothers but one of them is only adopted. Their father is only on his fifties but without the stone he is considered old. The son is only twenty-two and is more talented than his father. He is the most suitable person to succeed you master. I thought about abducting him, but I cannot take him without hurting him. So I chose to go back and ask for your decision.”

The King thought for a moment. ”Who is stronger, Huang or your son?”
