Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 298: The Return of the Old Ancestor

"Is it....the Old Ancestor Cedric?"

"H-he...how does he look exactly the same as he did 100 years ago?"

"H-he....he broke through to the Golden Core Realm."

"Now, the Lin Family has another Golden Core Realm Cultivator."

.

.

.

Seeing the legendary cultivator who was missing for over a century and still looked similar to what he used to look like back then, everyone was shocked.

Among the 50 Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators, 45 were the direct descendants of those who escaped the Green Lotus Tribe’s massacre along with Cedric.

Moreover, they were much older than Rowan and had a few interactions with this legendary cultivator who, with his average talent, was able to establish the Lin Family.

"G-grandfather...?"

On the other hand, Rowan’s lips trembled as he stared at the young man approaching him step by step.

His appearance was familiar—young, vibrant, and full of life, that he remembered from his childhood days.

Those sharp eyes, that faint smile, and the feeling of warmth were deeply engraved in Rowan’s soul.

"I-I knew it. I knew grandpa would return when the family was in crisis."

Rowan controlled his emotions and excitedly muttered under his breath, his voice hoarse and shaky.

Nevertheless, everyone heard Rowan’s words, and at the same time, they also came out of their shock.

"It was very hard for you and your brothers after my disappearance. Since I have returned now, I will make sure you never suffer again."

Cedric replied in a low voice, but everyone in the courtyard heard it loud and clear.

Although they were still not confident in winning the war against the Hermit Tribes, seeing their Old Ancestor return as a Golden Core Realm Cultivator had greatly boosted their morale.

That’s right!

Since Theodore had already finished his loyalty test, he decided to share the news regarding the return of the Old Ancestor of the Lin Family to boost the morale of the family cultivators.

"Everyone, I have already made enough preparations for the war and I promise you that we are going to win this war."

Although his presence increased their morale a bit, Cedric wanted to increase it even more. So, he promised them that they were going to win the war.

"We will win the war."

"We will show the entire world what we are capable of."

.

.

.

As expected, the morale of the cultivators increased as they wanted to rush out of the barrier to fight those Hermit Tribesmen.

Of course, if the same words were promised by Theodore, it would not have worked as well as it worked with Cedric.

Cedric was a Legendary Cultivator, and they had grown up listening to his stories, and now, he had returned as a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.

So, obviously, Cedric’s promise boosted their morale.

"Father, Grandfather, if you don’t mind, can you share your preparations and planning?"

After some hesitation, Rowan asked, rubbing the back of his head.

"Yes, Ancestor."

"Please share it, Old Ancestor."

Soon, the rest of the cultivators requested, curious about the preparations and planning done by their legendary cultivator.

"Ancestor Cedric will take...."

’Boom’

Just as Theodore was about to share their planning, there was a huge explosion as the barrier around Greenspire Town was finally broken after nearly one hour of combined attacks from the Hermit Tribesmen.

"Looks like there is no time to talk anymore."

Cedric was the first one to recover, as he said, "Everyone, let’s fight."

As soon as he finished his words, Theodore, Rowan, along with the 49 Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators rushed out of the town.

"Bonepiercer Tribe, we are going to pierce your own bones into your a*ses today."

Following Theodore’s instructions, Rowan led the family cultivators to the Bone Tribesman’s group and used his words to get their aggro.

"You...."

"We Lin Family cultivators, officially challenge your tribe’s 50 cultivators to fight us."

Rowan didn’t wait for them to say anything as he issued an official challenge.

"Let the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators fight among themselves."

Ulrik, the High-level Golden Core Cultivator from the Bonepiercer Tribe, was not agitated with Rowan’s words as he could easily see through what they were trying to do.

Nevertheless, he still agreed to Rowan’s official challenge.

Although the Lin Family was the remnants of the Hermit Tribe, they lost all their wealth along with most of their cultivation techniques.

Moreover, without a Secret Enclave, despite having the same cultivation realm, the Lin Family Cultivators were much weaker against his tribe’s cultivators.

Also, he wanted to use the Lin Family Cultivators as training for his tribe’s cultivators because they rarely got to move in groups.

[Verdant Thorny Armour]

As soon as they heard the words of the Bonepiercer Tribe’s leader, Rowan and others became excited and created a thorny armour around them before rushing into the fight.

[Spikey Bone Armour]

At the same time, the Bonepiercer Tribesmen activated their cultivation technique and entered the fight.

....

"I didn’t expect the Hermit Tribes to be afraid of my Lin Family so much that they sent such a huge expedition."

On the other hand, Theodore looked at Petrik, the leader of the Hermit Tribes’ expedition, and mocked.

"I feel the same; however, since we are given orders....we have to come here."

Petrik shook his head without any emotion.

"How about this? Why don’t you send a mid-level Golden Core Realm Cultivator...."

"Sorry, I am not like the Bonepiercer Tribesmen; my mission is to massacre the Lin Family."

Petrik didn’t let Theodore finish his words as he turned around to the two Mid-level Golden Core Realm Cultivators and the 100 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators before ordering, "What are you waiting for? Just kill everyone from the Lin Family."

"Yes, Elder Petrik."

102 cultivators from the Bloodclaw Tribe nodded their heads and rushed towards the fight where the Lin Family Cultivators were fighting the Bonepiercer Tribesmen.

"You are as cruel and cold-hearted as my father said."

Theodore frowned only for a moment; however, his expression returned to normal as he scoffed at Petrik.

"Is that so?"

Petrik revealed a cold smile on his face as he spoke, "Do you want to know how I killed your father?"

’Swiish’

As soon as he finished his words, Petrik jumped off his flying beast and instantly appeared behind Theodore.

"How did....."

"But, I don’t have any plans to tell you."

Petrik whispered those words into Theodore’s ears, and maintaining his cold smile, he was about to pierce his blood blade into Theodore’s heart.

’Puchi’

However, before his blood blade could enter Theodore’s body, a Green-coloured energy blade pierced through Petrik’s body from behind.

"W-who....?"

Petrik didn’t expect that someone in the Lin Family was capable of launching a sneak attack on him.

’I was careless...I was careless.’

While turning his head, Petrik was cursing himself for being careless and looking down on the Lin Family.

"Y-you....how can it be you? How are you still alive?"

Turning his head, Petrik saw a face that he never thought he could see ever again in his entire life.

It was because the face belonged to someone whom he killed more than 100 years ago.

Now, not only was that someone who was supposed to be turned into bones still alive, but he was going to die in his hands.

"N-no...I can’t die like this. I won’t die....I will come back soon for answers."

’Swiish’

Gritting his teeth, Petrik used an Escape Talisman and disappeared with a hole in his chest.
