Received help from the Lin family's ancestors?
Lin Xiao was a bit surprised. He truly didn't know there were such past events involving the Lin family.
Then why wasn't the Lin family dominant in Shashi? And why were they ultimately betrayed by those bastards from the Heavenly Alliance.
"Back then, a certain individual from the Lin family was exceptionally gifted. As the last recorded Divine Realm expert in our Dragon Country, he was truly invincible. He contributed to both defending our borders and pacifying internal strife. It was precisely because of his existence that many covert retaliatory measures against Dragon Country were thwarted."
"He was the foremost War God of Dragon Country at the time."
"And now, as his descendant, you are too."
Zhao Yuanzhao patted Lin Xiao's shoulder, "What a pity… what a pity… it's because we old fellows were too selfish. If we hadn't been constantly in seclusion over the years, searching for that faint possibility of reaching the ethereal Divine Realm, the Lin family wouldn't have faced disaster."
"What's done is done. It's all in the past."
Lin Xiao shook his head. He helped Nan Gong Wentian up from the ground.
Even if he wanted to pursue retribution, what would be the use?
If paying with their lives could truly bring back his family and parents, would he possibly let the members of the Nan Gong family live?
From the moment he learned that the Nan Gong family was the mastermind, the Nan Gong family was doomed.
But to bring them back?
He couldn't do it.
No one in this world could.
Therefore, he had no other choice but to let go. He was now the Dragon Country's War God, and he would protect the nation.
Nan Gong Wentian looked at Lin Xiao but still refused to get up.
"Senior Nan Gong, please rise. If you continue to kneel, it will truly be a joke, for both of us," Lin Xiao shook his head. He extended his hand and helped Nan Gong Wentian to his feet.
These old foxes were all shrewd elders. This setup clearly aimed to make him and the Nan Gong family bury the hatchet.
What else could he do but go along with them?
"Now, esteemed seniors, can we discuss the real matter at hand?"
Compared to this, Lin Xiao was more curious as to why these elders had appeared almost simultaneously, and all of them were here for him.
Hadn't he just found that five-clawed golden dragon from the cold jade? And after using it once, he was completely exhausted, clearly indicating that it wasn't a technique he could casually employ at his current level.
"Lin Xiao, it's like this," Gu Qianfan finally spoke, "Your ancestor once said that if anyone could one day evoke the Nine Heavens Dragon's Roar, it would signify the emergence of a new generation Divine Realm expert."
"And you did," Zhao Yuanzhao patted Lin Xiao's shoulder. "A hero born young!"
"Therefore, in the future, you will be the new Divine Realm expert."
It was impossible for these old men not to feel envious. Hadn't each of them spent decades in cultivation, waiting for a breakthrough? And what was the result? They could only watch as a junior evoked the Nine Heavens Dragon's Roar, while they themselves could only come to investigate.
Especially when this junior was a descendant of the Lin family, they had no other choice.
"Me? A Divine Realm expert?"
Lin Xiao pointed at his own nose, looking at them all with confusion. "You're not tricking me, are you?"
"Of course. Besides you, no one else has achieved it," Gu Qianfan continued.
"But, isn't that Gu family's cold jade? Why did I evoke it?" Lin Xiao remained confused.
