"Lin Region!"
As soon as White Zetsu's words fell, everyone's expressions darkened considerably. Lin Chuan, especially, felt his heart tighten.
The words "Lin Region" needed no explanation. This meant the Lin Clan had officially become a first-rate cultivation faction. With the Ancient Immortal Realm about to open, Lin An had broken through and the Lin Clan had advanced—was this really just a coincidence?
"Could this Lin An really be the child of the Ancient Immortal Realm..." Shi Jin said with a frown.
If it had only been speculation before, then quite a few people were probably convinced of it now. The timing was simply too precise.
"Regardless of who the child of the Ancient Immortal Realm is, the opening of the Ancient Immortal Realm this time won't be peaceful!" Xiao Heng said softly. "I can sense the signs of an approaching storm. As a Yin-Yang Master, I'm more sensitive than you are. The opening of the Ancient Immortal Realm was actually inevitable. If it had been delayed a little longer, then with Lin Chuan's talent, he might have been able to open the Ancient Immortal Realm himself!"
Xiao Heng gazed at Lin Chuan, black-and-white light flickering in his eyes. He seemed to be muttering to himself, yet also seemed to be speaking some profound truth.
"Does the age create heroes, or do heroes create the age? Who can really say..."
Everyone fell silent and said nothing more.
Lin An's matter was only a minor interruption. Though he was extremely powerful, Lin Chuan had yet to confront him head-on. After all, his older brother might not even know that he had such a younger brother.
During the time everyone was in seclusion, learning to control their tailed beasts, Lin Chuan also contacted his protectors.
