Devil's Bible

A virtuous person should not perish from a sneak attack!

"Third brother!" The Fifth Elder shouted upon seeing this scene.

However, the Third Elder seemed not to hear, and his entire body of virtue, along with his soul, turned into a stream of 'white water'.

Still waters can burst – a dam-breaking event!

Once he used that move, he wasn't planning on living.

The surging life force, freed from all obstacles, surged towards Lin Rongyang along with the Third Elder's movements.

This force is fierce and resolute, and the Water element also restrains the Fire element to a certain extent.

However, in this respect, the Third Elder is still no match for Lin Rongyang.

"Wildfires are not so easy to extinguish!" Wildfires are fierce and rapid, yet difficult to put out.

Lin Rongyang could feel the Third Elder charging towards him with a force that instantly permeated the surroundings and was about to invade his body.

With a swing of the spear, the Third Elder twisted his body around the spear and quickly closed in.

Lin Rongyang raised his hand and slapped the Third Elder on the head, causing blood to flow from the Third Elder's seven orifices.

But this blow was not the cause of his death; his soul had already disintegrated before his body died.

As the Third Elder, who was at the Divine Realm, he sacrificed himself in this way, even giving up the chance to enter the ancestral hall and become an ancestral soul.

Although he had killed the Third Elder, Lin Rongyang found that his originally fierce aura seemed to have reached its limit.

As the other party took those final few steps closer, it further permeated his watery life force.

The water didn't extinguish the wildfire, but it did cause his condition to begin to decline.

The wildfire raged rapidly, leaving little room for maneuver.

Once his performance declines, it means he is about to reach his limit.

Most importantly...

Inside the Han family ancestral hall, a young-looking figure rushed out.

Han Sheng, the young master of the Han family, has successfully joined forces with De.

Looking at that young figure, Lin Rongyang seemed somewhat dazed.

In my memory, he was the same sixty years ago.

He completed his promotion under the protection of his family.

Both young, both full of vigor, both at the center of their families...

"You shouldn't have come. I still have half a life left, enough to trade half of yours!" Lin Rongyang's body gradually showed signs of aging; even the supernatural powers of virtue could not keep him young forever.

"But I am the young master of the Han family, and I cannot let any more members of the family sacrifice themselves." Han Sheng looked at the Third Elder's corpse with sorrowful eyes and said in a deep voice.

Lin Rongyang looked at Han Sheng, slowly gripped the gun in his hand, and the people around him instantly became alert.

"Stop!" Lin Rongyang said, then threw the large spear in front of him, planting it in front of Han Sheng.

At that moment, a flame rapidly spread across his body, burning his soul.

"Back then, I was about the same age as you. The Shi family in the eastern region of Shuling was of the Mude clan."

"Back then, that old devil Hede did the same thing. With one strike of Ku Rong, he left me with serious injuries, reducing my lifespan by at least twenty years, and causing me to suffer from insomnia and premature aging."

"I could do that too, but... never mind."

"The virtue of fire is enduring, which is the essence of propriety."

"Powerful yet not fierce, upright in conduct and dignified!" As he spoke, Lin Rongyang looked at Han Sheng and said, "I wish to offer this salute."

"I hope that the young master of the Han family will not burn the last salary, so as to uphold my virtue!"

"Leave a way out for the Lin family!"

"Senior Lin, you are truly virtuous!" Han Sheng looked at Lin Rongyang, then reached out and grasped the large spear, hiding it behind his back, and bowed to Lin Rongyang.

Lin Rongyang smiled, and then he too died, his soul scattered.

"Patriarch!!" Upon seeing this, a member of the Lin family drew his weapon and held it to his neck: "I will go with you, Patriarch!" "Thank you, Young Master Han, for your virtuous act!"

As he spoke, he slit his own throat.

Subsequently, most of the Lin family members who had previously fought tooth and nail with the Han family followed Lin Rongyang to their deaths.

Xavier was greatly shocked by what he saw.

He had never seen so many people so determined to commit suicide.

The virtue of righteousness is manifested at this moment!
The battle of attack and defense ended quickly.

Han Sheng took charge of the overall situation and cleaned up the remaining battle.

Then came the handling of the Lin family.

Based on previous understanding, Han Sheng should immediately go to the Lin family and confiscate their property and exterminate their entire clan.

but……

"Return Senior Lin's body and deliver his last words to the Lin family."

"For the next thirty years, I don't want to see them in the Eastern Region."

"Young Master!" An elder immediately spoke up, trying to stop him: "This could have serious consequences."

"Let's wait and see what happens later."

Although Han Sheng is only the young master of the family, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the head of the family as he reaches the Hede level.

Once he made up his mind, no one could change his mind.

If the Lin family patriarch hadn't committed suicide, then perhaps Han Sheng would still have some reservations about him.

However, if the enemy's main fighting force is almost completely wiped out, and they still bully orphans and widows, he worries that decades later, similar things will happen to their descendants.

Lin Rongyang's body was returned to the Lin family.

This time, the Lin family mobilized almost the entire clan, with only some women and children remaining in the family.

After learning from the ancestral spirits that their mission had failed, they had been waiting within the family, preparing to summon their ancestors in the ancestral hall to fight the enemy.

But I never expected it to turn out like this.

On his deathbed, the old patriarch comprehended another virtue—the virtue of dignified conduct—and established a code of conduct based on it.

However, Han Sheng kept his promise and returned the bodies, thus avoiding the complete extermination of the enemy.

They didn't even intend to completely destroy the other family's ancestral hall; they simply ordered it to be moved.

This ritual has thus been established.

When the Lin family rose to power, the Shi family fought back fiercely, severely injuring the young Lin Rongyang, resulting in the complete annihilation of the Shi family.

And it is very likely that the Shi family did the same back then.

All of this was interrupted during the transition between the Lin and Han families, and a new set of customs was formed.

The Han family has weathered a minor calamity of thirty years, and the Lin family has faced a major calamity of sixty years; now it seems that both have passed.

When other families, large and small, in the eastern region of Shuling heard about this, they all marveled at Lin Rongyang's great virtue and praised Han Sheng of the Han family for his benevolence and righteousness.

They facilitated this ceremony, thus establishing a precedent for communication between families thereafter.

Perhaps future conflicts between families will not be so brutal.

Of course, if thirty years later, the Lin family grows stronger and turns around to slaughter the entire Han family, this ritual may be difficult to continue.

Regardless, the Han-Lin dispute has come to an end, and a new era has begun in a relatively peaceful manner.

Although Xavier and his group did not achieve remarkable feats in battle, they unexpectedly gained a portion of the opportunity for dimensional ascension.

"Having completed the 'attendance', I have gained a special opportunity for moral advancement!"

Seeing this opportunity, Xavier didn't feel much joy, but instead fell into deep thought. (End of Chapter)
