Chapter 303 303 Invisible One
After deciding to go out and consolidate forces, Lin Hui began to arrange security measures for his departure.
With the full cooperation of Gongsun Xinlian and Zhang Yao, a large amount of resources were mobilized to build a temporary protective array of more than ten layers around Qingfei Mountain. Combined with the existing protective array, the entire area around Qingfei Mountain was transformed into an impregnable fortress in just a few days.
Just then, another piece of bad news suddenly arrived.
The inner courtyard of the Lin residence.
When Lin Hui arrived, everyone from the Lin family was already there.
Liu Xiao and Liu Wujun were standing together, their faces ashen, both with their heads down and not saying a word.
"He clearly took the longevity medicine. Why?!" Lin Shunhe excitedly reached out and grabbed the hand of an old pharmacist, his eyes bloodshot, clearly having not rested for a long time.
Given his current physical condition, the fact that he would appear in such a dejected state clearly indicates that he has not simply overdrawn his body.
"I am powerless to help the Second Madam. She has been affected by the power of the Sea of Sound from the outside world, and her own physical condition is weak," the old man sighed.
Yao Shan stood to the side muttering to herself, holding a string of unidentified brown objects in her hand, seemingly in prayer.
Since joining the White Child Cult, she has often acted mysteriously, giving people a sense of enigma.
The rest of the Lin family members gathered in the outer circle, silent and in a tense atmosphere.
Lin Hui's gaze swept across the room, focusing on Liu Shenglan.
The power of the sea is just the trigger. It seems that Liu Shenglan's body was injured before and was greatly depleted. Now, decay and deep-sea transformation are occurring at the same time, making him almost the same as his teacher, Mingde.
He had tried to get all his family members to join Qingfeng Dao, but without genuine commitment, it was ineffective. The Dharma Seal could not be granted, and the Eye of Life was the same. In addition, each family member had their own convictions and affiliations, so the matter only reached a select few.
Standing outside the courtyard, several people noticed him, but Lin Hui waved them off, signaling them not to disturb him.
He nodded to Liu Wujun and Liu Xiao, then leaned against the wall alone, looking up at the huge sea-roaring rift above him.
The crack, though seemingly small, was actually almost as long as the Black Cloud City below. It was incredibly massive.
He leaned against her, sensing his second aunt's increasingly chaotic aura, gradually beginning to decay. Only then did he lower his head and close his eyes.
"If Mother had listened to our advice and practiced martial arts like us," Liu Xiao's voice came from beside him.
Lin Hui remained silent. He had tried to evolve relics or secret techniques that could stop decay using the Blood Seal, but to no avail.
The evolution of the Blood Seal cannot provide a solution that can be applied to others.
His own decay could be offset by the typhoon, but that would bring another hidden danger.
In retrospect, decay is simply the two sides of the same coin as the vitality of this world; where there is life, there is death, and decay here is the precursor to the death of this world.
“Everyone’s fate is predetermined. Second Aunt’s life wasn’t long enough, but perhaps she will be made up for in the next life,” Lin Hui said softly.
Liu Xiao leaned gently against him, her face already streaked with tears.
At that moment, Lin Shunhe and Liu Wujun slowly walked out of the room. Soon after, a suppressed sob spread from all directions in the courtyard.
铛.
The newly built giant bell on Qingfeng Road was struck, one chime after another.
With the comfort of his biological son, Liu Wujun, Liu Shenglan passed away peacefully.
Without decaying or sinking into the deep sea, her body was cremated, placed inside the cavity of the memorial tablet, and then put into the Lin family ancestral hall.
Lin Hui's schedule was thus suspended, and he was required to stay at home for three days to observe mourning.
Just then, news that once again shocked him came from Li Yuanyuan.
"What did you just say?!" Lin Hui looked at Li Yuanyuan who came to report, his expression hardened, and he slowly got up from his meditation seat.
“Master, because of the privacy isolation formation, we didn’t expect this to happen. By the time we got there, it was too late,” Li Yuanyuan said in a low voice.
"Grandmaster"
At this moment, Tao Changsheng stumbled in from outside the courtyard, his face covered in tears, his eyes red and swollen, and bloodshot.
"Why...why...why did she leave me? Why does everyone have to leave me?" He knelt down in front of Lin Hui, his head buried in the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
Lin Hui stared silently at Tao Changsheng, who was lying prostrate on the ground, and a strange sense of oppression suddenly welled up in his heart.
He didn't know what caused it, but it wanted to disperse, yet it remained there, like a cloud, making it hard for him to breathe.
“Let’s go take a look,” he said in a low voice.
In an instant, a strong wind surged, and the group appeared simultaneously, instantly arriving outside the courtyard where Vivi Mingde lived.
At this time, a number of Qingfeng Dao disciples had gathered outside the courtyard, but they all stood outside and dared not go in.
Upon seeing Lin Hui arrive, everyone silently bowed and made way for him.
Lin Hui's mind wandered, and he saw everything.
Inside the courtyard.
Weiwei lay sprawled on a guqin that had been placed there, her body tilted to one side. Drops of blood had already flowed down the ground beneath her, beginning to turn black and congeal.
She had already stopped breathing.
Lin Hui walked closer and saw a letter stuck in the strings at the end of the guqin.
He reached out and took it out, then unfolded it.
Life is like a dream; once this journey is over, it's time to wake up.
A line of short and neat handwriting appeared before his eyes.
"Mother!!!" Tao Changsheng knelt heavily behind him and wailed loudly.
Hearing the crying, Lin Hui put down the letter and looked at the blue-black scales on Weiwei's exposed fair forearm. He didn't say anything, but with a slight thought, he made the wind pull up the sleeve to cover the scales.
Looking back now, he suddenly remembered that when his master Mingde entrusted her to him, Weiwei did not respond at all.
Looking back now, she's still proud, still as stubborn as ever, always ready to leave whenever she wants.
Looking at the already cold corpse in front of him, Lin Hui felt as if a strange string had been plucked in his heart.
At this moment, his mind seemed to soar to the highest point of the entire Qingfei Mountain, overlooking the tens of thousands of living beings within its range.
The vital energy belonging to all living beings surged, intertwined, and wove together in the air above Qingfei Mountain.
Amidst all the energy, Lin Hui suddenly reached out gently, as if grasping something. He could no longer tell whether he was actually reaching out or just imagining it.
But when he came to his senses, he looked down and found that a thin ribbon made of seven colors had inexplicably appeared in his hand.
One end of the ribbon was rapidly breaking apart, turning into gray particles and dissipating.
In just a few seconds, the entire colorful ribbon was reduced to only an inch held in Lin Hui's hand.
He released his grip, watching its last inch rise naturally, shatter completely in mid-air, and vanish silently.
'So, this is the celestial form?'
Lin Hui lowered his head, took one last look at Weiwei, and turned to walk out of the courtyard.
The moment I stepped out of the courtyard.
A white phantom flashed out behind him and disappeared into thin air.
The third level of the Star Breath Sword Manual, the Heavenly Saint Form, was completely completed at this moment.

Taisu Royal City, Biqiu, is located in the deep core of the outer perimeter.
Black sand mixed with the gale swirled and danced in the dark abyss canyon, like a huge, invisible black monster, eternally baring its fangs and howling.
On one side of the deep canyon, there is a cliff that looks as if it were cut by a knife.
A group of figures dressed in simple black clothes were quietly gathered at the edge of the cliff, looking down into the bottomless darkness.
"You have no father or mother, no children, no ties, no worries, no thoughts." An old woman at the head of the group faced the wind, her voice calm as she recited words that sounded like an introduction.
"You were all destined to die for the sake of the royal city. Now, it is time to return everything to the heavens and earth."
"Yuan Jing." The old woman looked at the person in the group who was standing closest to the edge of the abyss. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
The woman pulled down her hood, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.
"There was never anything to begin with, so there's no need to talk about possessing anything. My sisters, the world is beautiful, I'll go first."
She gave a sweet smile, turned around to look at everyone, and then leaned back, like a thin, falling leaf, her dress ruffled by the wind, as she plummeted into the abyss.
"Next," the old woman said softly.
The second person stepped forward, paused, and waited for a while.
The third person behind her also stepped forward.
The two held hands, smiled at each other, and without saying a word, they leaped forward as if welcoming a new life, quickly being swallowed up by the darkness of the abyss.
“Next.” The old woman sighed and looked at the fourth person.
pat.
The fourth person lifted his hood, revealing a strange face that was half withered and half handsome. It was Han Xiaoyue.
She stopped at the edge of the abyss.
"I wanted to leave something behind, but unfortunately, it's too late."
"team leader!"
"Captain, let's go together!"
Qin Shishi and Xue Yan then stepped forward together.
"Once we have enough people after her, you'll have other uses," the old woman said in a deep voice.
The two stubbornly leaned forward and stood next to Han Xiaoyue.
"It's alright." Han Xiaoyue smiled gently, reached out and pinched Qin Shishi's cheek, and ruffled Xue Yan's hair.
"Remember my words, be like Linsa."
"Captain, how about I go down for you first? You haven't fulfilled your agreement with him yet," Qin Shishi said seriously.
"It's alright, perhaps this is fate," Han Xiaoyue shook her head. "After I leave, remember to mail the letter and give it to him. Also, please apologize to him for me, just say, 'I'm sorry, I broke my promise.'"
As she spoke, her voice lowered.
Standing at the edge of the abyss, I felt at least five terrifying gazes fixed on me.
She knew she could not resist, nor was she able to resist.
It's not just external defenses, but also the key to destruction within oneself.
"It's time to go down," the old woman urged.
Standing on the edge, the image of that fair and delicate hand that had reached out to her in despair flashed through her mind once again.
"Sister Linsha, can I become a hero like you?"
She took a step forward, looked up, and seemed to see a woman's face in mid-air that was both incredibly familiar and incredibly longed for.
As Han Xiaoyue reached out her hand, she seemed to see the woman's hand also reaching out to her.
Just like back then, her hands were very white, dazzlingly white.
Just like the flawless snow of that year.
puff.
Two hands gently crossed in mid-air, passing through each other.
Her body, propelled by inertia, silently flew down into the abyss.
Turning around in mid-air, she saw the tear stains on Qin Shishi's face, and also Xue Yan's pretty face with her teeth clenched tightly.
Behind the two, there seemed to be a blurry male figure.
He was dressed in white, with a long sword at his waist, and his long hair, like seaweed, flowed down to his waist and was scattered in the wind.
He seemed to be watching her too.
