I'm Not Dead

Wang Lin was not bothered by the constant shouts that gathered when he walked towards the Wang Clan branch in the 7 Clover City. Wang Lin was the popular cripple of the powerful Wang Clan so many newspapers with drawings of Wang Lin were distributed. This terrible perception of Wang Lin was one of the reasons they wanted to kick him out. Wang Lin reached a building that said "Wang Clan Branch #2" Wang Lin was about to walk inside the gates when he was stopped by the guards. One of the guards started talking "You're the dead cripple, Wang Lin? I don't know how your still alive but you cannot enter Wang Clan grounds." Wang Lin smiled and statted "You know, I was kicked out of the Clan but only as the Young Master, I am still a Wang Clan member." The guards looked at each other but still didn't move, seeing them not move Wang Lin lifted the eye patch and revealed his blue and red eye. The guards were shocked when they saw this but before they could say anything Wang Lin sent a soul attack and destroyed their souls. These guards were only at Beginner Knight stage 5 and so they had no way of fighting back. Wang Lin stepped over their bodies and entered the Clan.

Today was a peaceful day for the Wang Clan Branch, they don't face any power struggles due to their attachments to the Wang Clan rulers of the Wang Dynasty, who would touch them in their own territory. It was peaceful until clan members started gasping at the sight of Wang Lin walking in their land. They started the same conversations as the people outside "Isn't he supposed to be dead?" Wang Lin knew the strongest figure in this Branch Clan was the patriarch who was at Fire Acolyte Mage stage 8. He had a daughter born with the Ice element and she was going to be the next Matriarch. Wang Lin got to the main courtyard before he was stopped by a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man aggressively spoke, "How dare trash walk around here as if he owns it, you were thrown out your main clan now leave before my hands get itchy." This middle-aged man was at Acolyte Knight stage 2 and before a cripple, he had complete confidence at killing him with a fart. Wang Lin smiled and raised his hand. The middle-aged man was surprised and wondered what Wang Lin was going to do, but he wasn't scared since he knew Wang Lin was a cripple. On top of his hand, a blue ball of lightning appeared and Wang Lin threw it at the Middle- age man. He was not ready for the famous cripple of the Wang Clan to suddenly throw an attack at him so it was a direct hit. The spectators watching this were shocked "Wasn't he a cripple, what just happened..." Wang Lin was the famous cripple of the empire yet these people witnessed him use a "mage spell". Obviously, it wasn't a mage spell but a low-level Dao skill named simply the "Blue Lightning Ball".

While the fight was happening, the patriarch of the Wang Clan branch, Wang Zheng, was in a meeting with the other 5 elders. They were discussing Clan issues when a servant runs into the meeting and shouted: "WANG LIN ISN'T A DEAD AND HE ISN'T A CRIPPLE, HE BEAT WANG SHANG." Wang Zheng and the older elders stood up with sweat coming out of their heads. They sent the servant out and Wang Zheng shouted: "2ND ELDER YOU SAID HE WAS DEAD!!!" It is exactly as it sounds, this branch was the one that sent the assassins to kill Wang Lin, they got orders from the main branch to send 2 knights to kill Wang Lin for a little more support from the main clan than other branches. Wang Zheng and the other elders were ecstatic when they heard this offer, it was really hard to catch the main clan's attention so getting this chance was a once in a lifetime chance. But now that Wang Lin is somehow not a cripple meaning that they couldn't kill Wang Lin casually anymore. This was one of the reasons Wang Lin confidently walked down the street and used his actions to shout at his clan "IM ALIVE AND NOT THE TRASH YOU THINK I AM"

News of him not being a cripple will eventually reach the Wang Clan and they will be forced to make a new decision, or at least give some time for Wang Lin to grow more powerful so that their approval doesn't matter anymore. The 2nd elder was sweating as he knew that he would have to answer the main clan for not finishing the job. That was when the door flew open and a woman with a powerful aura walked in. This was the representative sent by the main Wang Clan, Wang Li, she was at peak stage Acolyte Knight. She sounded very mad as she said "2nd elder, you said he was dead, now I have people saying that not only is he not dead, he is not a cripple anymore, Patriarch Zheng am I missing something?" Patriarch Zheng just looked down and didn't respond, the representative of the main clan was somehow stronger than the patriarch of the branch clan, so how could he fight back. Wang Li then said to a guard "Bring Wang Lin in here, I want to talk to him." The guards left and after a few minutes, they came back with a boy wearing an eyepatch and. Wang Lin looked at the Wang Zheng, then at the elders, and finally at Wang Li. When she saw his arrogant stare she unconsciously clenched her fist but quickly calmed down, she started speaking "Wang Lin, I know there might be some misunderstandings between you and the Wang Clan but we would like for you to withhold your information about the assassination, for the clan, for your father." Wang Lin laughed hysterically once she said that "You want me to save Wang Clan face, for my father? The one that didn't even vote no to kicking me out. Once you get that confirmation you will slowly hatch a plan to kill me again, I have too much information about secret dealings, scandals, my assassination, etc. I can give it to rival clans and newspapers, what can you do about it." Wang Li snapped after hearing this, she activated her physical power and punched towards Wang Lin, Acolyte stage was equal to body refinement realm so technically he was facing a peak body refinement cultivator so he threw his fist back at her, she had no chance at defending against a Qi Condensation cultivators punch and got thrown back on to the wall. Wang Li puked out blood but managed to say "What... they said you beat Wang Shang with a lightning spell, how the hell did you beat me with physical power." Wang Lin didn't answer her question but smiled and said: "I'm not dead, the Wang Clan can't control me now."
