Chapter 4, The Harsh Truth

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Is it possible that Lin Tianshu is a descendant of the Linghu family? The Lin family is indeed the Linghu family!

Indeed, it was reasonable for you, the so-called righteous individuals, to slaughter my people. Therefore, is it not also justifiable for us, the orphans, to seek revenge now

Lin Tianshu said in a mocking tone: "Do these sounds seem familiar? At that time, I vowed that no matter how difficult it was, I would definitely survive! No matter how many years pass, no matter how many generations go by, even if the seas dry up and the stones decay, this grudge cannot be forgotten, it must be avenged..."

Lin Hong'e also spoke up: "Old scoundrel, your Qin family is the sworn enemy of my Linghu family. I would rather devour your flesh and blood to relieve my hatred, how could I possibly continue your Qin family's lineage."

This is truly something he never even dreamed of

Lin Tianshu's tone was surprisingly calm, as if recounting a matter unrelated to him. However, his gaze had become sharper.

The grandson, whom I have cherished and devoted all my efforts to nurture, turns out to be a descendant of the Linghu family. Moreover, he is the son of Lin Tianshu and Lin Hong'e! No wonder Qin Dingfang's appearance and character do not resemble those of the Qin family. It turns out he is a descendant of tigers and wolves, yet he has raised a tiger as a pet.

Upon hearing these words, Qin Jin felt as if he had been struck by lightning, both physically and mentally.

Lin Tianshu said: "Do you want to know? Then let us make a deal. I have already identified fifteen of the eighteen forces that attacked my Linghu clan back then. However, there are still three forces that I cannot trace. Tell me which three forces they are, or tell me where Qin Guang is, and I will obtain the 'Xiaoxue Sword' to see for myself"

Thirty years ago, the three Qin brothers, under the banner of upholding justice, led thousands of men from eighteen routes to attack my Linghu clan. They slaughtered my kin, leaving countless bodies and rivers of blood. At that time, I was still a child, and Hong'e was even younger. We, along with several other children, were hidden in a secret passage to evade the chaos. The sounds of shouting and killing above were incessant, and we trembled in fear. One child could not hold back his cries, and to prevent you from hearing him, I actually strangled him with my own hands. This child was my cousin ...

Qin Jin asked: "Who are those people?"

Qin Jin, filled with deep sorrow, said to his grandson: "Ding Fang, your mother and your uncle are descendants of Linghu, and I have no grievances against their vengeance! However, you are a descendant of our Qin family! You carry the blood of our Qin family..."

Lin Tianshu continued speaking, and his thoughts seemed to return to the past. He recalled the day when the Linghu clan faced a large-scale attack.

"Qin Jin! Wake up!" Qin Dingfang interrupted his words by directly calling his grandfather by his name. "I am not a descendant of the Qin family! I am a descendant of the Linghu family! When I was twelve, my mother told me everything. Our Linghu clan almost wiped you out, and I have loathed the Qin family for a long time. But my mother told me to endure, and now I have finally waited for the day of revenge!"

In the world of martial arts, one repays enmity with enmity and kindness with kindness. It is only natural for the descendants of the Linghu clan to seek vengeance.

Your Xihai Linghu clan has harmed the martial arts world, committing crimes that are too numerous to record! The heavens are enraged and the people resentful, and everyone seeks to punish you!

Lin Tianshu pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Qin Jin. A trace of sarcastic and cold laughter appeared on his stiff face. He stared at Qin Jin on the ground and slowly said: "A deep-seated grudge, never forgotten for a moment. It is not that there is no retribution, but the time has not yet come. Master Qin, the time has come now!"

Lin Tianshu proudly declared: "In fact, Ding Fang is my son. Hong'e and I are not biological siblings. Over the years, Hong'e has taken Ding Fang to 'Mu Tian Jiao' from time to time, which is actually a reunion for our family. I can also take this opportunity to teach Ding Fang the unique martial arts of the Linghu family. By then, with the combined skills of both families, who in the world could possibly rival him? I want my son to be the number one in the world! Not only do we intend to eliminate all the Qin family members, but we will also make those who participated in the attack on my Linghu family pay for their blood debts. By then, with the combined skills of both families, who in the world could possibly rival him? I want my son to be the number one in the world! Not only do we intend to eliminate all the Qin family members, but we will also make those who participated in the attack on my Linghu family pay for their blood debts! No one can escape... We father and son will seize the entire martial arts world and take control of the world..."

At this moment, a large-scale attack was launched outside. The sounds of shouting and killing, the cries of despair from women and children, continuously penetrated the room. These sounds pierced Qin Jin's heart like a sharp blade

At this moment, he was filled with despair, seeking nothing but death

He seemed to have suddenly become much more alert

It turns out that there are three factions colluding with Lin Tianxing! Qin Jin thought of those people wearing crying masks. With several factions working together, it would be very difficult for anyone in the Northern Government to escape alive. They can only be left to the slaughter

This incredibly brutal blow left Qin Jin feeling as if the world was spinning around him. The voices of the three individuals alternated in his ears, and their images became blurred. Finally, Qin Jin could no longer bear it and spat out a mouthful of blood. His head also struck the ground.

"Isn't it revenge you seek? Go ahead, kill me."

Look at this pair of siblings, and then look at the grandson. Qin Jin can no longer control his emotions; his face trembles and even distorts. He shouts hoarsely: "Why?!"

The door was pushed open, and the first person to enter was Lin Tianshu! Following him, Hong'e also came in and closed the door.

Qin Jin lifted his heavy head with a white beard, feeling as if it weighed a thousand pounds. He looked at the grandson standing beside Lin Tianshu and now understood why the grandson had asked him about his second brother and the "Xiaoxue Sword" more than once.

Lin Tianshu continued, "Later, as we grew up, we moved from the West Sea to the Northern Border. Hong Ao and I devised a plan; Hong Ao deceived your foolish son and became a daughter-in-law of the Qin family. This way, every move of the Qin family would be under our control. The Northern Border has always been within the influence of the Qin family. Although King Qin Wu has died, many people still show respect to the Qin family. By forming this alliance, it would also benefit my development in the Northern Border. I wanted to remind you that the Linghu clan still has descendants, and they will eventually come for revenge! I feared you would forget, so I wrote a blood letter from time to time. Later, I gained the ability to take revenge, but there were two things I needed to clarify. First, whether Qin Tang is truly dead. Second, where the 'Xiaoxue Sword' is located. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn, insisting that he must master the 'Qianmei Sword Technique' before passing on the sword to him. I waited month after month, year after year, and I was about to go mad, so I decided not to wait any longer! Therefore, tonight I will make your Northern Mansion a scene of corpses lying everywhere and rivers of blood..."

Oh my God

So this is how things are! Qin Jin laughed bitterly again and again, as the Qin family was schemed against by the Lin family, and it should be the Linghu family

Qin and Jin were instantly rendered speechless

Qin Jin loudly interrupted Lin Tianshu

Lin Tianshu shouted loudly: "Qin Laoer killed my father back in the day. I hate him, I hate that he died too early, unable to personally carve him into a thousand pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart! You wish to seek death, it is not that easy. I can also tell you that tonight, in addition to my 'Mu Tian Jiao', there are three other forces attacking the North Mansion. Right now, both inside and outside the mansion are our people, and tonight, everyone in your North Mansion, even if they are just a dog, will find it impossible to survive and leave!"

Lin Tianshu became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his tone no longer calm. He stood up from his chair, waving his arms and shouting at Qin Jin, behaving like a madman in a frenzy

It turns out that among the eighteen heroes who followed Qin and Tang in those years, three groups of individuals were particularly mysterious. From beginning to end, they either wore masks or veils, and they rarely spoke. The others knew nothing of their origins. Although these three groups were not numerous, each member was a formidable opponent, causing significant casualties to the Linghu clan. Lin Tianshu's close relatives, including his two elder brothers, were killed by these three groups. Therefore, Lin Tianshu is determined to uncover the origins of these mysterious individuals to seek revenge and settle the score.
