Head of the Family
Energy Element raged in the air, and Yan Huang's corpse was finally completely vaporized by Lin Zhen, leaving not a single cell behind.
No matter what methods he could use to recover, he has forever lost the possibility of recovery.
After killing Yan Huang, Lin Zhen let out a long sigh of relief, finally having completely dealt with this troublesome guy.
Thus, the Divine Cult was completely destroyed. This sect, which had stood on Earth for thousands of years, was brought down by Lin Zhen in less than a year.
Perhaps the Divine Cult has its shortcomings and flaws, but without Lin Zhen, Divine Cult might still be thriving today. You could say that Lin Zhen is the Grave Digger of the Divine Cult.
There may be some remaining elements on Earth, but they can no longer have any impact on Lin Zhen; they can no longer form an organization.
Lin Zhen then said to Chen Fenglie and An Bihuai, "Thank you very much, Old Chen and Brother An."
He remembered what An Bihuai had just said, and addressed him as a brother.
Before An Bihuai could say anything, Lin Zhen's parents came out accompanied by An Ning.
Ever since Yan Huang arrived at Lin Zhen's house and was stopped by Chen Fenglie, An Ning took the initiative to come and keep Lin Zhen's parents company. She felt that this was what she should do, and she considered herself as Lin Zhen's family.
Lin Liye and Li Qin did not greet Lin Zhen immediately, but instead took the initiative to express their gratitude to Chen Fenglie and An Bihuai.
Since becoming martial artists, they have gradually learned a lot about martial arts, and know how significant the two Heavenly Star Ranking are among martial artists in Huaxia, and even among martial artists worldwide.
In the past, Lin Liye and his wife might have worshipped him wholeheartedly, but as Lin Zhen's influence grew, they also became more aware of their role as the family members of a master, and no longer lost their composure when they saw a master.
An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie were quite polite in their gratitude to Lin Liye and his wife.
After all, they were friends with Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen's parents should be considered elders. Even though they were older, they didn't put on any airs.
But when An Bihuai saw An Ning, he snorted, "She's not married yet, but she's already quite eager to get involved with her boyfriend's family."
Everyone else was taken aback, wondering why An Bihuai spoke to An Ning in that way.
At this moment, Chen Fenglie explained, "Mister An Bihuai is the seventeenth or eighteenth generation ancestor of An Ning, which is many generations ago. He is several hundred years old."
An Ning was also stunned at this moment. She looked at An Bihuai and felt that he looked familiar, but she did not expect that he was actually the ancestor.
The An Family also has an ancestral Ancestral Hall and genealogy. An Ning immediately remembered this prominent figure in the family hundreds of years ago, also known as the ancestor. He left hundreds of years ago and had appeared twice in the past, but she never expected that it would be the person in front of her.
"Great Great Grandfather!" An Ning didn't know how to address him, so she simply said the one she knew who was the greatest.
An Bihuai nodded slightly. "Although I live far away from the secular world, the An Family has never left my sight. I know your father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and every generation of the An Family. But as long as the An Family is not completely wiped out, I will never interfere with the An Family's affairs in the secular world."
"As for An Ning, I do know a bit about you. You're a bit useless in some ways."
An Ning's heart tightened immediately, wondering what this ancestor wanted to say.
An Bihuai glanced at Su Mingyue, who had also walked to Lin Liye and his wife's side, and slowly said, "I am very dissatisfied that you like the same boyfriend as other girls and are even enjoying it!"
The scene fell silent. Lin Zhen remained expressionless, while An Ning looked somber.
An Bihuai glanced at Lin Zhen's face and said, "Of course, you also have a good side. You actually managed to win over my brother Lin Zhen. You truly deserve to be the daughter of the An Family."
An Ning raised her head, her little mouth slightly open, wondering what her ancestor meant.
Chen Fenglie interjected, "Forget it, let me explain. Old An has told me several times that it's fortunate that An Ning, the person you like is Lin Zhen. If it were any other man, Old An would think you've brought shame to the An Family, but Lin Zhen wouldn't. Do you understand?"
An Ning's face immediately flushed red; this old ancestor was breathing heavily as she spoke.
Lin Zhen then Human Path to An Bihuai and the other man, "Since you two are here, why don't you have a meal here before you leave?"
Although An Bihuai was An Ning's ancestor, in Lin Zhen's mind, the two should be regarded as martial artists. Since their strength was already at the same level, they should address each other as brothers.
As expected, An Bihuai nodded, and then said to Chen Fenglie, "See? Lin Zhen is really shameless. He doesn't even mention seniority and just calls me 'brother.' It seems I probably won't have a chance to be promoted."
Chen Fenglie laughed heartily, "I think there's still a chance. When Brother Lin's strength reaches a point where you have to look up to him, maybe then he'll remember your seniority."
"Forget it! I don't want to be in that situation, having to look up to my great-granddaughter and son-in-law from over ten generations. Where would I put my old face then? I need to hurry up and break through to the third level of the Eternal Realm as soon as possible, otherwise there's a real possibility that this kid will catch up with and surpass me."
Chen Fenglie laughed heartily, and Lin Zhen also chuckled. An Bihuai's lack of attachment to his identity made everyone feel comfortable together.
Su Mingyue walked over to Li Qin and took her arm, while also giving An Ning a close hug.
The warm and harmonious scene before him made Lin Zhen feel very comfortable. He went over to greet his parents, and then, disregarding the presence of everyone, he embraced the two women he loved.
Lin Zhen knew all about the suffering An Ning endured in the Northwest, and how Su Mingyue had come to rescue him, even gaining access to the Radiance Atoms in the process.
Su Mingyue and An Ning wriggled a bit but let Lin Zhen hold them. Their eyes were a little red. Being able to be together today was more important than anything else.
An Ning felt it was embarrassing to hug in front of the ancestors, so she took the lead and pulled Su Mingyue away from Lin Zhen's embrace.
"Alright, you're covered in dirt, you've gotten me and Yue'er dirty. You two go chat, Yue'er and I will go help Auntie cook."
Li Qin couldn't stop smiling. With her two beautiful daughters-in-law by her side, cooking became a very enjoyable experience.
The women went to the kitchen. Lin Zhen originally wanted to chat with her father, but Li Qin asked Lin Liye to kill the fish, saying that none of them dared to do it. Lin Liye went with a wry smile.
Lin Zhen sat down in the living room with An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie. Soon, municipal officials arrived outside. They didn't even enter Lin Zhen's house before quickly repairing the large ditch that Yan Huang had dug and the damage caused by the fight.
Lin Zhen didn't go out to greet them; these were things he was entitled to enjoy, and it was only natural.
After sitting down with Chen Fenglie and drinking two cups of tea, Chen Fenglie spoke.
"Brother Lin, now that we've dealt with Yan Huang, there's nothing major going on for the time being. What are your plans for the future?"
"I haven't made too many plans yet." Of course, Lin Zhen did have plans, but many of them couldn't be made public; they were all secrets.
Chen Fenglie thought for a moment, "Brother Lin, what are your thoughts on the person who fired the cannon from outer space during the battle just now?"
"Not from Earth." Lin Zhen's words were simple and clear.
Although An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie had similar thoughts, they were not as certain as Lin Zhen.
"Could aliens really exist?" An Bihuai asked first.
"There definitely is."
Lin Zhen said, "You two can imagine that the energy beam flying from outer space is definitely not a technological level that Earth has. Governments around the world do not yet have the capability to set up space stations in outer space and equip them with weapons."
Chen Fenglie chimed in, "Yes, that energy beam even shattered my Sword Domain, otherwise today's battle wouldn't have been so difficult."
An Bihuai nodded. He and Chen Fenglie often went to space to drink, so they naturally knew that there were no human space stations outside of Earth, and there weren't even many satellites, let alone those carrying weapons.
"So, what Brother Yilin said, could these aliens pose any threat to Earth?" An Bihuai continued.
"I estimate there is some threat, but it shouldn't be too great. Today's attack intensity wasn't high either. Even if there are aliens, there wouldn't be many. But we must prepare for the future."
Seeing that An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie were staring intently at him, Lin Zhen continued, "Since aliens have already come here, then perhaps a large force of aliens will arrive in the future. The first ones to arrive will guide them on their way. This is very likely to happen."
An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie both nodded in agreement; Lin Zhen's words made a lot of sense.
"So our top priority is to cultivate ourselves and contact some like-minded friends to make ourselves stronger. If aliens come, we will have the ability to fight them. Even if they don't come, we won't lose anything," Lin Zhen said, expressing his thoughts.
Chen Fenglie chimed in, "I think Brother Lin is quite right, but who exactly are you contacting? There are still many details to discuss. As for the cultivation matter, I'd like to ask Brother Lin if he'd be interested in going out with us?"
"Where to?" Lin Zhen asked.
"The first ancient site on Earth, the Bermuda Sea Ancient God Ruins."
Upon hearing the name, Lin Zhen closed her eyes briefly.
Bermuda was once the most dangerous Ancient God Ruins on Earth, filled with incredibly powerful sea monsters, some of which are said to be SSS-Rank.
It turns out that the people on the Heavenly Star Ranking were active there.
It's likely that Chen Fenglie and An Bihuai are still struggling to make things work out there, so the reason they're staying at Lin Zhen's house for dinner today is probably because they're thinking about this matter.
For people at their level, worldly affairs are no longer of concern; cultivation is their sole purpose.
However, Lin Zhen still cared. After thinking for a moment, he said to An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie, "I'm really sorry, but I want to stay at home for a while and spend time with my family. Let's postpone what you two have to say for a while."
