Above the Lin Family, Steward Zhang's brows furrowed slightly as he glanced in the direction indicated by the divine consciousness transmission. The others did the same.

A long, grey shadow flickered in the distance. In just moments, it arrived at the Lin Family's residence, revealing its true form to everyone.

It was a gray python, over thirty meters long!

"Ran'er!"

Lin Xiuqi looked at Lin Ran atop the gray python, his expression filled with astonishment.

"Father."

With a flick of his tail, Lin Xuan placed Lin Ran in front of the Lin Family. The members of the Lin Family stared at the python, momentarily unable to react.

"Father, this is Grand Ancestor."

Seeing everyone's bewildered faces, Lin Ran realized they hadn't recognized Lin Xuan. However, she wasn't surprised.

After all, in just one day, who could imagine that Grand Ancestor, who was just over a meter long and at the Third Layer of Qi Condensation Realm could transform into a python over thirty meters long, reaching the pinnacle of the Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation Realm.

Hearing Lin Ran's words, the Lin family members were filled with astonishment, their gazes incredulously fixed on the serpent.

"Ran'er, you're not joking, this individual in front of us is our Grand Ancestor?"

Lin Xiuqi's second uncle, Lin Shanhai, asked with surprise, standing beside Lin Xiuqi, dressed in white and exuding a hint of elegance.

"Second Uncle, he is indeed our Grand Ancestor. Grand Ancestor absorbed the legacy of Great-Grandma, so he has grown so quickly," Lin Ran explained.

The Lin family members confirmed this after a brief moment of disbelief. However, despite their amazement, their mood quickly plummeted.What use was an extra Qi Condensation Ninth Layer? The power of a Half-Step Foundation Establishment was something that a Qi Condensation Ninth Layer couldn't contend with. At this moment, Lin Ran and Grand Ancestor were undoubtedly marching to their deaths.

The Lin family members had despair in their eyes, but Lin Ran remained unperturbed. She knew all too well what kind of power and talent a creature that could absorb moonlight possessed.

Crossing a major cultivation realm to challenge a Foundation Establishment cultivator might be a bit difficult, but defeating a Half-Step Foundation Establishment was well within reach. With her father and the others lending a hand, they could overcome the crisis tonight.

"A Qi Condensation Ninth Layer Peak spiritual beast?"

Steward Zhang looked at Lin Xiuqi and furrowed his brows slightly. However, he quickly dismissed it as inconsequential. It was just a Qi Condensation Ninth Layer corpse.

Steward Zhang raised his hand and sent out a palm strike, condensing his spiritual energy in the air, forming a handprint about a hundred meters in size that pressed toward the serpent. The terrifying spiritual pressure left everyone motionless.

Seeing this, Lin Xiuqi and his two brothers had a change in their expressions. They moved to help their Grand Ancestor. However, they were instantly blocked by the other Zhang family cultivators.

"Boom!"

At such a close range, the attack happened in an instant, accompanied by a deafening explosion. Everyone's gaze then focused on the center of the explosion. The scene that unfolded before them left them in shock and disbelief.

Lin Xuan stood proudly above the Lin family's residence, surrounded by a dense aura of moonlight. His long tail rose straight into the sky. The change that occurred just now was seen by many in the Lin family.

The attack of Steward Zhang, a Half-Step Foundation Establishment cultivator, had been directly punctured by Lin Xuan's tail.

Grand Ancestor remained unharmed!

However, what was most shocking at this moment was not that Lin Xuan effortlessly withstood Steward Zhang's attack, but the thick moonlight emanating from him.

"Innate Spiritual Beast!"

After a brief silence, someone finally looked at Lin Xuan's moonlit figure and exclaimed in disbelief.Steward Zhang, upon hearing this, was immediately awakened. Then, amidst the bewildered gazes of everyone, he turned and fled toward the Zhang family in Renhuai County.

This scene was unexpected to everyone.

"Just because Lin Xuan blocked one attack from the enemy, he's fleeing like this? Isn't that a bit too cautious?"

This was what everyone thought as they watched Steward Zhang's retreating figure.

Unfortunately, Steward Zhang didn't care about their thoughts at this moment. Although the other cultivators didn't understand, he did.

An Innate Spiritual Beast, especially one empowered by moonlight, was capable of much more than just amplifying its own strength with moonlight. What was truly terrifying was that they had generally awakened their innate divine abilities.

Steward Zhang knew this very well. The power of an Innate Spiritual Beast, particularly one that had activated its innate divine ability, was enough to rival him. Once it used its innate divine ability, he would be completely outmatched and death would be imminent.

All he wanted now was to escape back to the Zhang family, where the value of an Innate Spiritual Beast was immeasurable. As long as he made it back this time, it would be a tremendous opportunity for him.

Of course, deep down, he had a burning question: "How does the Lin family have an Innate Spiritual Beast? Such creatures are beyond the reach of a First Rank family like the Lin family."

Just as Steward Zhang was contemplating this, his expression suddenly changed. He was about to turn around when he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Lowering his head, he saw that his entire chest had vanished.

Raising his head, he saw a black light gradually taking on the form of a serpent over thirty meters long in front of him.

"So this is the power of an innate divine ability?"

Steward Zhang mumbled to himself. Then, his eyes gradually lost their light, and his body fell from the sky.

"Yes!"

Lin Xuan responded with a cheerful tone as he looked at Steward Zhang's lifeless body. He was quite satisfied with the outcome.

The innate divine ability, Flowing Light, truly possessed incredible power and effects. It could instantly boost one's speed by twenty times. Absolute speed was, in itself, a terrifying force.

However, Lin Xiuqi realized that his current cultivation level was too low, and as he continued to grow, his speed would likely increase even more.

At this moment, the Lin family members who had witnessed the entire process were dumbfounded. Before the battle with Steward Zhang, Lin Xuan's Flowing Light had already wiped out all the remaining Zhang family cultivators.
