Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 567 The Secrets of the Flower Clan
"You bullied Lin Chen because his background wasn't strong enough, now I'll bully you because you're not strong enough!"

These words echoed in the ears of the martial artists present.

This Supreme Elder of the Canglan Sect is a man of his word, and that's how domineering he is.

So what if they are royal princes?
What about a mysterious young master from a prestigious family?

Anyone who bullies my sect's disciples, regardless of their background or origin, will be dealt with accordingly.

Needless to say, the third prince of the royal family has lost all face.

That mysterious young master from the East lost a powerful expert at the sixth level of the Innate Realm, and his own clothes were torn and his chest was pierced... He was even more miserable than Lin Chen.

……

……

"Brother Yin, now that the matter is over, why don't you come and sit at my sect?"

Dan Hong spoke up at the right moment, but Yin Wushuang shook his head: "This is a matter for my Canglan Sect, so I won't trouble your sect."

Yin Wushuang's words were not meant to mock Shan Hong, but rather to reflect the perspective of the Wanhuo Sect.

Dan Hong also understood that the reason he hadn't shown himself earlier was because he didn't want the Wanhuo Sect to be involved in the future changes.

"Let's go."

Yin Wushuang stepped forward to Lin Chen, who had already stood up. His wounds had scabbed over, demonstrating his astonishing healing ability.

"Your Highness, we shall take our leave now."

Zhuang Qiang first bowed to Yin Wushuang, and then bid farewell to Lin Chen. She needed to hurry back and tell the little princess and the elders about what had happened today.

"Young man of the Flower Clan, when you return, please tell Elder Mei that my Zong Linchen is going to be the son-in-law of your Flower Clan. Your Flower Clan has made a great deal."

Upon hearing Yin Wushuang's words, Zhuang Qiang's expression became somewhat strange. The old man Mei that Senior Yin mentioned should be referring to the Grand Elder.

"I will pass on the message."

After Zhuang Qiang and Zhuang Wei left, Yin Wushuang nodded to Yin Yue. In terms of age, Yin Yue was naturally a junior, but in terms of status, as the Empress of the Moon Soul Clan, her status was equivalent to that of the Supreme Elder of the Canglan Sect.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for protecting my sect's disciples."

"You're too kind, senior. Lin Chen has helped me a lot."

Because there were other martial artists present, Yin Yue didn't go into too much detail.

Yin Wushuang left with Lin Chen, and Yin Yue followed suit. None of the other martial artists around the lake lingered, and they all bid each other farewell.

They were eager to return to their sect and hoped to get answers from the elders.

The royal family, the mysterious young master from the East, and the information revealed in the words of the Supreme Elder of the Canglan Sect...

And this great battle also needs to be reported to the sect immediately. Everyone has a premonition that the entire Yan Dynasty will probably never be so peaceful again.

……

……

There is a pavilion outside the Wanhuo Sect.

"After returning this time, I will go into seclusion to fully absorb the energy in my clan's treasure and truly enter the Myriad Manifestations Realm."

Yin Yue spoke to Lin Chen. After quelling the rebellion in the clan, the clan elders advised her to go into seclusion and enter the Myriad Manifestations Realm as soon as possible. Only when her own strength reached the Myriad Manifestations Realm could the clan truly be at peace.

She hadn't gone into seclusion because she was worried about Lin Chen in the Thousand Layers Secret Realm. This time, she had promised the clan elders that she would go into seclusion after returning.

"It takes a long time?"

Hearing Yin Yue say this, Lin Chen asked curiously.

"It could take three to five years, or even more than ten years. After all, it normally takes a martial artist at least several decades to go from not reaching the Innate Realm to entering the Myriad Manifestations Realm. The fact that I only need a few years is already very short."

Yin Yue spoke softly, explaining that due to her royal bloodline and the energy of the clan's most precious treasure, she was able to surpass others' decades of cultivation in just a few years.

"You'll surpass me then."

Lin Chen was indeed shocked. Yin Yue had not yet entered the Innate Realm, but she would be able to enter the Myriad Manifestations Realm in just a few years or at most a dozen years. If this were to spread, the martial artists of the entire Yan Dynasty would be incredibly jealous.

“If it were anyone else, I would be confident, but with you…” Yin Yue said helplessly, “Then it’s really hard to say.”

Think about it, in just a few short years, Lin Chen has jumped directly from the first level of the Innate Realm to the fourth level of the Innate Realm. Moreover, she knows that it will not be difficult for Lin Chen to step into the fifth and sixth levels of the Innate Realm, because Lin Chen's soul has already reached the level of the sixth level of the Innate Realm.

Lin Chen and Yin Yue exchanged a glance and smiled. Their cultivation speed was enough to arouse the jealousy of other martial artists in the Yan Dynasty.

"The stone you gave me, I took back to my clan, and it was able to absorb the moonlight energy of my clan, so I left it in the clan."

"The Oscars?"

Thinking of Oscar, Lin Chen was speechless. Ever since he turned Oscar into a stone, the guy had fallen into a deep sleep and hadn't woken up yet.

"Oscar?"

"I gave him the name, so let him stay in your tribe for now."

"Okay." Yin Yue nodded, then added a final reminder:

“That Dongfang Canglang is not a magnanimous person. You have offended him, so be careful in the future. As for why the third prince of the royal family is also targeting you, I don’t know. In short, try to stay in Canglan Sect and don’t go out.” “Okay.”

"Then we'll meet again after I emerge from my seclusion. I hope you won't fall behind me."

Yin Yue's delicate, porcelain-doll-like face rarely revealed a hint of arrogance. Without further hesitation, the bright moon reappeared above her head, transforming into a rainbow of light and disappearing into the sky.

Lin Chen looked up at the bright moon above, and only looked away after the moon disappeared.

"I never expected that your trip would lead to such a relationship with the Moon Soul Clan Queen."

Just after Yin Yue left, Yin Wushuang appeared in the pavilion.

"Elder, it was by accident that I came to know the Moon Soul Clan Empress..."

Lin Chen briefly recounted how he met Yin Yue, including his experience returning to Canglan Island, participating in the alchemy competition, the Thousand Layers Secret Realm, and the inheritance he received in the Sacred Flame Hall. The only thing he concealed was the matter of the far western abyss of Canglan Island.

Yin Wushuang's old eyes were also gleaming. He hadn't expected that Lin Chen would experience such a wonderful life in just a few years.

It was the Thousand Layers Secret Realm again, the Thousand Machines Sect's alchemy competition, and he even received the inheritance of the founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect.

"You were right not to reveal the inheritance of the founder of the Wanhuo Sect. The reason why the founder of the Wanhuo Sect did not pass on this inheritance to the Wanhuo Sect is because its path of inheritance is different from the current cultivation path of the Wanhuo Sect. Moreover, given Shan Hong's personality in the Wanhuo Sect, even if you had told him back then, he would not have stood up for you."

Hearing his elder's words, Lin Chen was somewhat surprised. Yin Wushuang continued to explain, "The original Supreme Elder of the Wanhuo Sect was someone I greatly admired, but unfortunately he passed away forty years ago. Shan Hong entered the Wanxiang Realm thirty years ago. At that time, the Wanhuo Sect did not have a Wanxiang Realm expert to guard it. Shan Hong entered the Wanxiang Realm through some means, and he was born with insufficient confidence. Over the years, he has been guarding the Wanhuo Sect's territory and has never stepped out."

"Disciple understands."

Lin Chen suddenly realized that the Supreme Elder of the Myriad Fire Sect was able to enter the Myriad Manifestations realm not through his own strength, but by using some kind of method. As for what method it was, Lin Chen could roughly guess that it should be related to the Innate Fire.

Because he did not enter the Myriad Manifestations Realm through his own strength, and the Myriad Fire Sect only has one person at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, this Supreme Elder of the Myriad Fire Sect is somewhat cautious in his actions. In the current situation of world change, he only wants to protect the Myriad Fire Sect from being affected.

"I never expected that you would be the prince consort of the Flower Clan."

Yin Wushuang seemed to have thought of something interesting: "It's fortunate that you met the Flower Clan princess of this generation. If it were a few generations earlier, there would have been absolutely no chance of marrying the Flower Clan princess."

Mentioning Senior Sister Jiang, Lin Chen couldn't help but ask curiously, "Elder, do you know a lot about the Flower Clan?"

"I don't understand."

Yin Wushuang shook his head: "I know what you want to ask, but the four great clans among the ancient races are all extremely mysterious. I have only had a few dealings with the elder of the Flower Clan."

Upon hearing his own Grand Elder mention "having dealt with each other," Lin Chen recalled the jade slip the Grand Elder had given him, which recorded the Grand Elder's martial arts life, which could be summarized in three words: battle maniac.

The key point of the Supreme Elder's statement about "having dealt with each other" should be the word "dealing with".

"However, the Flower Clan has traveled to the outside world much more often than the other three clans in recent decades. The most important reason for this is that your future mother-in-law is also the previous princess of the Flower Clan, and should now be called the Eldest Princess."

Yin Wushuang looked at Lin Chen: "Before your mother-in-law, the Flower Clan, like the other three clans, rarely ventured out into the outside world. But no one expected that your mother-in-law would choose to leave the Flower Clan. The Flower Clan elders also sent clansmen to search everywhere, but they never mentioned why your mother-in-law left the Flower Clan. Now you can probably guess the reason?"

Seeing the hint of gossip in the Supreme Elder's eyes, Lin Chen's lips twitched; he had indeed guessed the reason.

The only reason my mother-in-law left could be because of my father-in-law.

Even with his talent and strength, the Supreme Elder thought it would be difficult for him to marry the Flower Clan Princess, so his father-in-law had even less of a chance.

So back then, the mother-in-law abandoned the Flower Clan and eloped with her father-in-law.

"What then?"

Lin Chen was curious whether the Flower Clan had found his mother-in-law. They probably had, otherwise Senior Sister Jiang wouldn't have returned to the clan.

So it's because Senior Sister Jiang has grown up, and the Flower Clan has no choice but to accept this fact.

"I don't know."

Yin Wushuang shook his head: "How could I possibly know about such internal affairs of the Flower Clan? However, since the two women of the Flower Clan just called you the Prince Consort, it is clear that they have accepted you. This should be thanks to your mother-in-law. It seems that the Flower Clan elders have compromised on this matter."

"Compromised?"

Lin Chen was puzzled. If the Flower Clan elders were so easy to compromise, why had his mother-in-law stayed on Canglan Island for so many years? Shouldn't she have taken Senior Sister Jiang back to the clan long ago?
"The Flower Clan's talent is related to all the plants and trees in the world, and the first god-level expert of the Flower Clan was a woman. In the Flower Clan, only women can inherit the royal family's talent. Your mother-in-law must have gone very far in the martial arts world."

Although Yin Wushuang was unaware of the internal affairs of the Flower Clan, at his level of strength, he was already able to deduce the whole situation from some clues.

The elders of the Flower Clan are all stubborn people. The only reason they could change is that they could no longer control the eldest princess.

“Since the Flower Clan Princess resides on Canglan Island, your family no longer needs to come to the Canglan Sect. Staying on Canglan Island is actually safer.”

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Lin had no intention of bringing his parents and family to the Canglan Sect, but not because of his mother-in-law, but because of Senior Jiang.

"Is there anything else? If not, then we shall return to the sect."

Hearing his elder's words, Lin Chen was taken aback. Did the elder mean that he would protect him if anything else happened to him?

A powerful expert at the Myriad Manifestations Realm protects you...

Such treatment is probably unparalleled in the entire Yan Dynasty, but he really had nothing else to do.

"Then let's return to the sect!"

Yin Wushuang flicked his sleeves and took a step forward, while Lin Chen quickly followed. The old man and the young man transformed into two streaks of rainbow light and headed towards the Canglan Sect.
