Chapter 226 – The Lin family is rebelling!

The Lin family rebelled against the Human Realm.

When Wu Wang first heard this news, his heart was shaken.

This matter seemed a bit off no matter how you looked at it.

Overall, the Human Realm was very united, with each family having a long history and always being the backbone of the Human Realm, guarding the borders and earning the respect of the people.

Under the leadership of Emperor Shen Nong, there were very few experts from the Human Realm who defected to the Heavenly Palace, and there had never been any instances of a family betraying the Human Realm.

Hearing this sudden news, the anger of the Celestial Sword Taoist was understandable.

The Sleep God muttered, "Lin Nu Hao? I feel like I've heard this name before, it sounds familiar."

Then, the Sleep God looked at Lin Suqing and asked in confusion, "Is he related to your family?"

"Of course not," Lin Suqing hurriedly replied, "It's just a coincidence of surnames."

The Celestial Sword Taoist sighed, "It's Lin Qi's father, Lin Nu Hao, who recently made significant contributions and participated in the battle in the Southeast Region."

The Sleep God looked enlightened and wisely refrained from asking further.

"He rebelled?"

Wu Wang muttered to himself and slowly sat back in his wooden chair.

His spiritual sense seemed to be in the starry sky, and a gray "big tree" appeared in front of him, with its veins and branches quickly lighting up.

One possibility led to another, and each one led to a different result.

At this moment, Wu Wang's mind was extremely active, constantly jumping around.

Lin Nu Hao was a very cunning person, and Wu Wang didn't believe that he would betray the Human Realm for no reason.

He asked, "Brother, has there been any news from the Lin family before? Like the Renhuang Pavilion targeting the Lin family and so on?"

"None of that has happened!"

The Celestial Sword Taoist quickly arrived and scolded, "Not only has there been no targeting of the Lin family from the Human Realm, but when Lin Qi was trapped in the Southeast Region, the Lin family cooperated fully, and the Renhuang Pavilion even gave them a lot of rewards, greatly increasing the Lin family's reputation.

With the Ji family in the east and the Lin family in the west, they are the two great guardians of the Human Realm!

Lin Nu Hao is simply shameless, betraying the Human Realm without any warning!

The Celestial Sword Taoist's anger was evident, and it even scared Lin Suqing to hide behind Wu Wang.

The Sleep God said on the side, "Young man, don't be in a hurry, don't be angry, anger can't change the facts."

Wu Wang asked again, "How exactly did he rebel?"

"A proclamation of rebellion has been sent to the Renhuang Pavilion; several families in the Northwest Region have been trapped by the Lin family's city; a large number of Heavenly Palace guards have appeared at the border, forming a standoff with the Lin family's private army, preparing for battle!"

The Celestial Sword Taoist was excited and kept pacing back and forth by the desk, cursing loudly.

"Next, he may launch an attack on the heartland of the Human Realm, prompting the Heavenly Palace's powerful gods to invade!"

At this moment, the Sleep God had quietly retreated to the side, cracking melon seeds and sipping strong tea, with several maidservants coming over to massage his arms and legs.

Playing music, singing, and playing the zither were all fine; but trying to stop him from fishing was a no-go.

Lin Suqing whispered on the side, "I always feel that something is suspicious about this. Why would Lin Nu Hao rebel for no reason? Doesn't he know that his actions will only bring disaster upon himself?"

"He's lost his mind! He's lost his mind!"

The Celestial Sword Taoist shouted angrily.

The Sleep God muttered on the side, "It's also possible that Poverty-stricken is secretly controlling that General Lin, this beast, while ordinary in other aspects, is quite skilled at bewitching living beings."

"How can a Transcendent-level expert be so easily controlled by Poverty-stricken!"

The Celestial Sword Taoist said firmly, "There must be some kind of conspiracy between Lin Nu Hao and the Heavenly Palace. When Lin Qi was captured last time, he may have become the link between the Lin family and the Heavenly Palace.

Wu Wang, someone will definitely mock this later, so don't pay attention to them."

"These are all trivial matters, inconsequential."

Wu Wang rubbed his forehead and said, "I just want to know if this is part of the Heavenly Palace's plan. Calculate the days, and the Heavenly Palace's fifty-year deadline has already passed by a third.

Brother, how many Heavenly Palace guards are there, and have any Primordial Gods appeared?"

"A large number of Primordial Gods have appeared north of the Great Wall, and the guards number over a hundred thousand!"

The Celestial Sword immediately said, "Now, more experts from various tribes are gathering, and there is movement in various places in Central Mountain.

Once the Heavenly Palace's army gathers and moves south from the northwest, there will be no safe territory left in the Human Realm."

"But the fighting hasn't started yet, right?"

Wu Wang said, "The Heavenly Palace needs time to gather its strength, and the Human Realm also needs time to gather its forces. There will inevitably be a period of maneuvering and pulling at the border later.

Make use of the time to evacuate the areas that may be affected.

Let the cultivators assist the ordinary people, and let the Renhuang Pavilion play its role."

"This has already been done," the Celestial Sword's anger subsided, and he said seriously, "The Emperor immediately ordered the evacuation of that area, which will only take two days."

"Okay," Wu Wang sighed slightly and said, "I just don't quite understand."

The Celestial Sword immediately asked with concern, "What don't you understand?"

Wu Wang said frankly, "Lin Nu Hao's scheming is beyond me. If Poverty-stricken is causing trouble in secret, it's better to say that Lin Nu Hao is intentionally using Poverty-stricken to achieve some purpose.

From the fact that the Heavenly Palace is also gathering a large army, we can't determine whether the Heavenly Palace is just bluffing and using the tactic of exhausting the enemy, or if they are really preparing for a decisive battle... We'll have to see how the situation develops in the future.

I can't understand what Lin Nu Hao is doing right now, but it must be related to a certain position."

"What position?"

The Celestial Sword Taoist looked puzzled.

"The position of the Emperor."

Wu Wang stood with his hands behind his head, sitting there humming a few times.

[Is this Lin Nu Hao just adding drama to his own life?]

The Sleep God shook his head on the side and muttered, "What's so good about being the Emperor?

There are so many things to deal with, great responsibilities, and the pressure of the clan's fate resting on your shoulders. Externally, you have to face strong enemies like the Heavenly Emperor, and internally, you have to deal with the complex thoughts of living beings.

Is Lin Nu Hao stupid?"

The others remained silent.Celestial Sword Taoist asked, "Wu Wang, Renhuang Pavilion has summoned all the officials from various levels back. Do you want to go back now? This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and the news has spread throughout the entire Human Realm.

No matter what the situation is, since Lin Nuhao dared to rebel, he will not be spared!"

"I will go a few days later," Wu Wang said, "Starting a rebellion is not an easy matter, and with the intervention of the Heavenly Palace, we must be fully prepared before taking action.

Brother Dao, you go ahead and go to the main pavilion to be busy.

I just came out of seclusion, and my mind is still a bit confused."

"Alright."

The Celestial Sword Taoist said seriously, "Wu Wang, take a good rest. Once there is news of Lin Qi, I will immediately send someone to inform you."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Dao."

"No need for thanks."

The Celestial Sword Taoist gave a formal bow.

Wu Wang returned the courtesy and then watched as the Taoist hurried out of the Sleep God's temple and flew towards the Qingming.

Lin Suqing pondered for a moment, whispered a few words in Wu Wang's ear, and then went to organize relevant information for Wu Wang.

Wu Wang sat at the desk and soon looked towards the Sleep God.

"This matter has nothing to do with me," the Sleep God smiled, "It's better for you to handle the affairs of the Human Realm yourself."

"Brother, think about how to return my right to sleep."

Wu Wang looked helpless, and the Sleep God chuckled and leaned in to discuss strategies with Wu Wang.

He couldn't help but ask about the matter of the girl in Wu Wang's dreams.

Wu Wang sometimes responded vaguely, sometimes gave a few sentences that seemed plausible, satisfying the Sleep God's insatiable curiosity.

Life as a god is long, so you have to find some fun for yourself.

After about half a day, the night sky of the Human Realm became lively.

Looking up from the Rift Valley where the Mie Sect was stationed, you could occasionally see one or two streaks of light passing by, like meteors in the sky, most of them heading northwest.

Jade tokens were exchanged to share the latest news;

A large number of Human Realm cultivators spontaneously rushed towards the northwest of the Human Realm.

Wu Wang was receiving a "massage" treatment from the Sleep God when two burly figures rushed into the Human Realm.

They didn't find Wu Wang's whereabouts in his cave, but with the guidance of the people waiting inside, they went straight to the neighboring Sleep God's temple.

The young man with a long neck pulled back his cloak and was about to shout:

"Brother, Lin Nuhao has rebelled!"

But he saw... saw...

Wu Wang was sitting in a rocking chair in a palace filled with soft white light, a cloth wrapped around his head, and ten fingers like slender radishes tapping lightly outside the cloth.

There was soothing music in the palace, and a few beautiful women in long skirts were dancing not far away.

"This?"

Xing Tian's eyes widened, almost popping out of his head.

The whole world was in chaos outside, and his own brother was still leisurely here?

Xing Tian suddenly lost his urgency, and his mood relaxed a lot. He observed carefully for a while.

Where did he find this head massager? The technique is quite skillful.

Wu Wang said, "Brother Sleep, let's stop here today. Once I'm done with this, remember to return my sleepiness to me."

"I'll do my best, I'll do my best, haha."

The Sleep God laughed and patted Wu Wang's shoulder, then pushed him up.

"Go, brother, the future of the Human Realm rests on your shoulders!"

Wu Wang smiled and said nothing. Before he could say more, he felt the light around him change, and he was sent out of the temple.

Accompanying him were Xing Tian and Xing Tian's master.

Bang!

The doors of the temple closed tightly, and the sound of the Sleep God's long yawn came from inside.

"This guy is really good at hiding. He truly lives up to his title as the God of Slacking Off."

Shaking his head, Wu Wang walked over with his hands behind his back and asked Xing Tian, who was standing nearby, somewhat strangely, "What's wrong with you, brother?"

"Bro...ther..."

Xing Tian's thick lips trembled, "I was the first to come, so how come you've found a new brother behind my back?"

Wu Wang was speechless and kicked him.

Xing Tian laughed and jumped away, his muscles trembling under his robe, making his figure even more robust.

At this moment, several figures were standing in front of Wu Wang's cave, most of them looking worried.

Ji Mo and Leyao had come after hearing the news;

Ling Xiaolan also stopped her cultivation, disturbed by the jade token sent by her sect.

The Great Elder, the Marvelous Elder, Yang Wudi, and Mao Aowu were also waiting on the side, waiting for instructions from the sect leader.

In addition to Xing Tian and Xing Tian's master...

Wu Wang's good friends had gathered together.

"What's with the serious faces?" Wu Wang walked over with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "This matter is not our concern. If Lin Qi has been captured by the Primordial God, we can go and rescue him. Lin Nuhao's rebellion has made the Lin family a traitor to the Human Realm."

Ji Mo said, "Brother Wu Wang, Brother Lin is not as ambitious as his father."

"Lin Qi should be trapped at home now," Ling Xiaolan said, "If we don't do something, no one will be able to help him."

Hissing Snake came over, leaning against the arch bridge with his arms crossed, his charming figure contrasting with the Marvelous Elder's.

The Great Elder also said, "Sect Leader, Lin Qi is the guardian of our sect..."

"Don't say more about this.

At this time, saying that the Lin family is the Lin family and Lin Qi is Lin Qi is extremely irresponsible."

Wu Wang put his hands in his sleeves, looked up slightly, sighed lightly, and said calmly, "I am Lin Qi's teacher, and I value him very much. But there is no need to worry about Lin Qi's safety at the moment. All of Lin Nuhao's efforts are focused on Lin Qi.

If the Lin family rebels and succeeds, Lin Qi will benefit; if the Lin family fails, Lin Qi will also be implicated.

Lin Qi is Lin Nuhao's only son, and Lin Nuhao treasures him and has high hopes for him. This is well known throughout the Human Realm.

I can only say that Lin Qi has such a father, I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate."But we can't make decisions that might affect the overall situation based on a few unilateral guesses; this is not just a matter between friends, this is a difficulty faced by the entire Human Realm.

Let's go inside and talk."

Everyone nodded, roughly understanding Wu Wang's attitude.

We must observe the changes and not act on emotion, prioritizing the greater good of the Human Realm.

However, as Wu Wang took his seat, a trace of worry flickered in his eyes, which he quickly concealed.

At this time, we can only choose to trust Lin Qi.

...

Lin Suqing brewed two pots of tea, and Le Yao also brought out the special spiritual fruits from the Po Ri Sect.

Wu Wang hummed a tune from 'Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy' while sitting in the main seat, and everyone's mood finally stabilized.

Among the group, Xing Tian and Lin Qi were the least acquainted, and at this moment, Xing Tian was the most relaxed.

He had rushed over with his master upon hearing the news, knowing that Lin Qi was Wu Wang's disciple, and was worried that Wu Wang might be implicated.

Xing Tian didn't understand and said, "Why would Lin Nuhao start a rebellion out of the blue? Is it because his salary is not enough, or his power is not enough? Being in charge of a territory is already a great authority, why isn't he satisfied?"

Ji Mo said, "It's probably the Heavenly Palace stirring things up."

"We can't blame everything on the Heavenly Palace," Le Yao said, "If Lin Nuhao's Dao heart was complete and he had no grievances against the Human Realm, he wouldn't have been taken advantage of by the Heavenly Palace."

"We still don't know the specifics of the situation."

Ling Xiaolan twirled a strand of hair around her finger and said softly, "Let's not discuss this too much. We should think about whether there's a chance to rescue Lin Qi if he's trapped right now."

"The Lin family's residence is now a dragon's den and a tiger's lair."

Wu Wang sighed, "I used to live in the Lin family's house back in the day."

Chirp chirp!

A bluebird chirped twice beside him, as if to comfort Wu Wang.

"In my opinion," Ji Mo said, "we should send someone to the Lin family to inquire about Lin Qi. Even though Lin Nuhao has rebelled, he wouldn't kill the cultivator we send."

Yang Wudi said, "How about I, Sect Master, sneak over?"

"What for?"

Wu Wang glared at Yang Wudi, "Aren't you full of secrets about the Human Realm? Getting caught would be like a ticking time bomb."

"Heh heh," Yang Wudi sheepishly rubbed his head, "I was just thinking, I'm more familiar with the ways of the Heavenly Palace."

Wu Wang pondered for a moment and then looked towards the Hissing Snake, speaking slowly:

"What do you think about this?"

"Master, it's most likely Poverty-stricken's doing."

The Hissing Snake bowed her head and said, "Please allow me to approach the area within ten thousand miles of the Lin family. I am very sensitive to the aura of Evil Gods."

After a brief consideration, Wu Wang said, "Go ahead."

"Yes," the Hissing Snake immediately took the order, drew a line in front of her, and a rift in the universe opened. She slipped her slender legs into it, and the rift quietly closed.

This effortless display revealed her profound mastery of the laws of the universe.

Xing Tian was full of admiration and said gloomily, "You're even subduing Evil Gods now, you're stepping too far ahead."

Wu Wang pretended not to see the jest in the old brother's eyes, picked up his tea, and took a sip. Before he could put the cup down, the rift in the universe opened again, and the Hissing Snake stepped out from it.

After mastering the Sect-destroying Great Formation, she could now traverse it at will.

"Master, it is indeed Poverty-stricken, that scent is unmistakable."

Ji Mo immediately stood up and said firmly, "I'll go notify the main pavilion right away."

With that, he hurriedly ran outside to send a jade talisman.

Wu Wang, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:

"With this, I roughly understand. Lin Nuhao must have other plans, we don't need to be too anxious.

Just with Poverty-stricken, he can't control Lin Nuhao's will.

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that Lin Nuhao might suddenly act foolishly."

As he finished speaking, Wu Wang let out a light 'eh' and asked Lin Suqing, "Why is Mumu crying inside?"

Lin Suqing's expression darkened, and she said softly, "Xiaodeng is not going to last much longer."

Wu Wang also sighed softly.

The citizens of the Tiny People's Country have a lifespan of six years, and Xiaodeng had lived several years longer with the support of Human Realm's elixirs.

"Let's go have a look."

"Mhm," Lin Suqing said, "I'll go change into cleaner clothes."

"No need, in their view, this counts as a happy funeral."
