Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

```

The speed of the Third Rank Supreme Grade Spirit Boat instantly increased a notch as Lin Shiming controlled it, heading towards White Leaf Continent, which was adjacent to Heavenly River State.

White Leaf Continent was also the largest state of the Spirit Beast Sect, where the main forces of the sect were located.

The cultivators of Zhao Kingdom were almost all retreating towards White Leaf Continent as well.

The raging wind struck Lin Shiming's face, making him even calmer inside. With the Third Rank Wind Escape Talisman, indeed even an average Purple Mansion cultivator without a flying magical treasure might not be able to catch up to him.

But in the next moment, Lin Shiming thought of his father, Lin Houyuan, and others.

At the time the city was breached, it was the communication from the Lin Family Clan that he sensed that made him leave his retreat. Because it was a dedicated retreat, unless the formation of the retreat was destroyed, he would not have noticed the changes outside.

At that time, he had just completed a breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment and had consolidated his cultivation level with the Tribulation-Resolving Elixir given by Lin Xianzhi. He also incidentally completed the refining of the Formation Swords, forming the Great Purple Wood Profound Heavenly Sword Formation.

Otherwise, he might not have been able to leave with Lin Xianzhi under the circumstances at that time.

But because he exited the retreat too hastily, he had only fully refined the Purple Gold Gourd, and that Supreme Grade flying sword had not been refined yet. At the same time, his Mountain Ape Body Refining Technique was only at the late stage of Qi Cultivation.

On the way, Lin Shiming had the fewest injuries.

As he recovered his True Yuan, his Purple Wood Heart Sutra also had a natural advantage.

At this moment, he was able to multitask, keeping his Divine Sense on the pursuers.

At the same time, his Divine Sense continuously swept underneath the ground and every thousand miles, he waved his hand toward the ground and retrieved an Iron Thornwood seed.

The appearance of Iron Thornwood seeds in the wild would not draw the attention of other cultivators, making it an excellent marker.

This was something he had given to his father before leaving.

But the more he watched, the more alarmed he became, as the distance between the markers was growing, and they were somewhat scattered.

Clearly, the Lin Family Clan members were fleeing!

...

In an endless forest, a Spirit Boat was flying desperately, and low-rank wind Spirit Talismans were affixed to the Spirit Boat.

Even though Second Rank Spirit Talismans were not very effective on a Third Rank Spirit Boat, at this moment, none of the Lin Family Clan members hesitated, frantically executing Spirit Arts, sticking Spirit Talismans to the Spirit Boat, despite the minuscule effect.

Lin Houyuan glanced at the pursuers behind him once again with Divine Sense, and his brow furrowed deeper, his complexion becoming extremely grim.

The demonic cultivators of the Spirit Sect were less than a hundred miles behind them. At such a distance, even if they exhausted all their Spirit Talismans and used up all their True Yuan, they still wouldn't be able to control the Spirit Boat to escape.

"Everyone, the demon cultivators are not far behind," Lin Houyuan's statement also made the dozen or so people on the Spirit Boat look despondently for a moment.

To think that when they set out, they had thirty-seven Qi Cultivation cultivators at the later stages, and now, only a dozen remained.

Just as they were about to escape from Heavenly River State, they were unexpectedly targeted by demon cultivators.

The older generation of cultivators like Lin Yuqing, Lin Houyong, Lin Houshou, and Lin Houyu hesitated for three moments before taking steps forward, suddenly in the same position as Lin Houyuan.

Lin Shiyi, as well as Lin Houwei, instantly realized and took large steps forward, only to be pushed back by Lin Houyuan raising his hand, forming True Yuan.

Besides them, Lin Shiyun, Lei Xuan, and several of the younger generation of those with the surname Hou also took determined steps!

"What are you doing? You think you can look down on us old folks now? The Lin Family has always had a tradition of preserving the seedlings and not the old seeds," Lin Yuqing cursed with a bit of anger.

```

As a Law Enforcement Hall Elder and the Great Elder of the Lin Family, Lin Yuqing had scolded nearly every cultivator present.

At this moment, hearing his admonishment, some eyes suddenly reddened.

"I am relieved to see that you could all come out, you are all good sons of the Lin Family, but this time, you have an even more important mission, and that is to ensure our legacy!" Lin Houyuan also said loudly. There was a time when he too, was scolded by his elders like this, perhaps a little bewildered back then.

But at this moment, his heart felt it even more deeply.

Not only did the Lin Family have hundreds of members practicing immortal cultivation, but there were also over a hundred thousand mortals from the Lin Family, whose fearless sacrifices were but like moths to flame. In the world of cultivation, as long as the lineage persisted, everything was possible.

If Qi Cultivation couldn't overpower, try Foundation Establishment. If Foundation Establishment was not enough, escalate to Purple Mansion, and if even Purple Mansion failed, then it must come to Golden Core!

Lin Houwei began to understand, gripping his hip flask so tightly it seemed he might crush the spout.

Being born into a family of cultivators, they understood all too well the import of lineage.

Yet, Lin Shiyi was still incredibly stubborn at this moment, continuing to walk towards Lin Yuqing while muttering under his breath—he was a Body Cultivation practitioner.

"Stop causing trouble, Shiyi. You will eventually surpass this old man and become the true number one Body Refining Cultivator of the Lin Family!" Lin Yuqing spoke again. He actually wanted to scold him, but remembering these were likely his last few words, his tone softened by half, turning into persuasion.

"Family Head, let me go. They're coming for me, and I hope the remaining brothers and sisters can take care of Shiqi," Lei Xuan stepped forward.

As a Thunder Spirit Root cultivator, it was the release of his thunder attribute spell during the last moments of the city's defense that caused the Lin Family to catch such unwanted attention.

For the Heavenly Demon Sect, other cultivators could escape, but a Thunder Cultivator had to be killed on sight.

This city battle saw most cultivators with the thunder attribute ambushed by the Demon Cultivators.

Lei Xuan was only okay because he hid well, and of course, nobody thought that a Thunder Spirit Root Cultivator would emerge from the Lin Family.

This time Lin Houyuan nodded in agreement; after all, Lei Xuan had been captured and married into the family. While Lin Shiming was at ease about him, they were admittedly a little worried, and the chase this time indeed had something to do with Lei Xuan.

"It's decided then. I, Uncle, Big Brother Hou Yong, Second Brother Hou Shou, Sixth Brother Hou Yu, and Lei Xuan, are responsible for staying behind to face the enemy. Everyone else should try to escape with three Earth Escape Talismans each!" Lin Houyuan ordered.

The Lin Family Elders also entrusted their last words to Lin Houwei, handing over any Jade Slips and treasures that could benefit their descendants to him.

Then Lin Houyuan and the others slowed their speed, waiting for the Demon Cultivators to arrive, while Lin Houwei and the rest disembarked from the Spirit Boat and utilized Wind Escape Talismans to flee before using Earth Escape Talismans to make their escape.

These Escape Talismans had been obtained by Lin Shiming after he killed cultivators from the Huang Family in the Qingyun Mountain Range.

"If only the seventh was here!" Lin Shiyi also sounded somewhat somber, but he didn't slow down and continued to flee forward.

Soon, a black Spirit Boat with a large flag appeared in the sky not far away.

The Spirit Boat was not yet close when countless Flying Knife Artifacts began to be hurled towards Lin Houyuan's Spirit Boat.

Following the flying knives came Flying Needles!

The cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect rarely used swords; most of their combat involved magical flags, which were handy and made it convenient to absorb the souls of slain enemies into the flags, increasing the power of the Heavenly Demon flags.

But this didn't mean that the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators lacked proficiency with other Magic Artifacts. On the contrary, their Flying Needle Artifacts, Flying Knife Artifacts, and their polluted Magical Gourds were numerous.

The Flying Knives were immensely powerful. Lin Houyuan had to wield three Intermediate Grade Third Rank Formation Swords just to fend off the Flying Knives. But as soon as the knives were dealt with, the Flying Needle Artifacts arrived, leaving Lin Houyuan in a frantic defense.

And the Magical Flags of the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators also swiftly approached.

Two middle-stage Foundation Establishment Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators, one early-stage Foundation Establishment, plus over a dozen Qi Cultivation disciples!
