Qingxuan continent, outside the mountain range of demonic beasts, Huangtu City.
After three days and four nights of nonstop travel, Lin Tian finally returned to Huangtu city on the fourth day.
The speed and endurance of this black cloud beast were indeed much greater than the previous red blood BMW. Even after four days of continuous running, it still looked full of energy.
Lin Tian led the black cloud beast as they walked in the city. Wherever they passed, they attracted the attention of the surrounding people. It was all because of the lively black cloud beast in his hand.
"A high-level mount, the Black Cloud Beast! Which family's young master is this person?"
"For someone to have a mount like the Black Cloud Beast, other than sects like the Heavenly Sword Sect and the North Mystery Sect, who else could have it?"
"Heavenly Sword sect, North Mystery Sect! F*ck, it's actually these big powers. I originally wanted to beat them up and snatch the Black Cloud Beast."
"Beat them up? HMPH, this black cloud beast is only qualified to be obtained by the elites of those sects. Any one of them can be killed in this small place."
"Ah, this kid looks like he's only in his teens. How strong can he be?"
"The current young master of the Heavenly Sword sect is in the late stage of the Qi and blood realm at eighteen..."
..
Lin Tian ignored the discussions of those people and continued to walk on his own.
He didn't rush back to the Lin family immediately. Instead, He came to Yellow Earth City first to find out the current situation in Jade Lotus town.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be undefeated in a hundred battles?
If he rashly returned to Jade Lotus town, perhaps it would only make the situation worse.
No matter what time it was, a resting place like an inn would always have the information you wanted.
Not long after, Lin Tian arrived at the inn that had previously opened a room for fifty taels of gold.
When the inn's waiter saw Lin Tian, his eyes shone with a golden light as if he had seen a mountain of gold. He immediately greeted him with a smile and said warmly,
"Young master, are you here to stay again?"
"Do you still recognize me?"
Lin Tian glanced at the waiter and said lightly.
"Ever since this inn opened, you've been the only one staying here. How Could You Not Remember?"
The waiter said with a smile.
Lin Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes at this and thought, "So, I'm a big fish in the water, right?"
"I'm not staying here today. I just came back from the outside, and I want to eat something."
After saying that, Lin Tian handed the Black Cloud Beast's leash to the waiter and walked straight into the inn.
It was daytime, and many guests were on the inn's first floor. The twenty or so tables were almost full.
Most of the guests were dressed in shabby clothes. Only the guests at the two tables were dressed neatly.
Lin Tian came in front of the well-dressed guests and asked, "There are no more empty tables in the inn. Can I sit here?"
It was not that Lin Tian disliked shabby clothes. It was just that the well-dressed people were probably businessmen from the nearby cities and knew more about the recent happenings.
Those with shabby clothes must have just come out from the demonic beast mountain range and probably had not heard about the recent news.
As expected, after Lin Tian got permission and sat down, they started to talk about the situation in Jade Lotus town.
"What did you say you were here for? The Bei Xuan faction has arrived at Jade Lotus Town, right?"
"That's right. Yesterday, the Bei Xuan Faction Elder brought a group of Bei Xuan faction disciples to Jade Lotus Town."
"And I heard that the Elder was a spiritual soul realm expert. The weakest of those disciples was a sea of Qi realm cultivator."
"This bei Xuan faction is too powerful. Doesn't that mean that the Lin family has already been destroyed?"
"I don't think so. They said they would give the Lin family one day to disband their clan and leave Jade Lotus town. Otherwise, they would personally come the next day and exterminate the Lin family."
"Eh, is that today?"
At this moment, the waiter came to their side and asked with a smile, "Dear guests, where is the young master who is sitting here?"
"Isn't that person here?"
As he said that, the customer turned his head to look at Lin Tian's original seat but found that there was no one there. He couldn't help but feel puzzled.
When Lin Tian heard that the north mystery sect was going to visit the Lin family today, he had already rushed out. He rode the Black Cloud Beast back to the Lin family anxiously.
Through this investigation, Lin Tian basically had a rough idea.
The strongest strength of the other party was only in the spiritual soul realm. With his current strength, it wouldn't be a problem to challenge the other party.
Lin Tian was afraid that spiritual soul realm cultivators were still hiding behind. He did not dare to guarantee that the four seas heart returning pendant would still be able to withstand it?
"The Lin family has to put in some effort!"
Lin Tian thought to himself.
On the other side, in Jade Lotus town, the Lin family was utterly unafraid of the threat of the Bei Xuan sect. All the restaurants and shops were still open for business.
However, other than the Li family members, there were no other customers.
Before the Bei Xuan faction members had even arrived at Jade Lotus town, the Li family had already announced that they had the support of the Bei Xuan faction and wanted to destroy the Lin family.
At this time, who would dare to get involved in the conflict between the Lin and Li families?
"Hey, shopkeeper, why haven't the dishes been served yet?"
In the Lin Family Restaurant, a member of the Li family shouted at the top of his voice.
While he was speaking, he was still using his chopsticks to knock on the white ceramic bowl, rudely clanking away.
This was the Li family deliberately causing trouble, affecting the Lin family's restaurant's business.
In such a situation, not only did they appear in the restaurant, but all of the Lin family's business shops had such customers.
Without exception, these customers were all ordinary members of the Li family.
"Shopkeeper, can we just watch the Li family stir up trouble here?"
"Why didn't the master send someone to maintain order?"
"The Lin family won't have a good time either. How can we deploy any manpower?" The shopkeeper said helplessly.
Jade Lotus town, Lin family's courtyard.
An old man in a gray robe stood proudly outside the Lin family's main gate. He looked at the Lin family plaque and said indifferently,
"Is this the Lin Clan?"
The old man's gray robe had the words "Bei Xuan" embroidered. The Bei Xuan faction's leader, Liu Yun, had come to Jade Lotus town.
Behind Liu Yun stood seven cultivators in Bei Xuan faction robes. Each of them exuded a strong aura. The weakest among them was in the Qi and blood realm.
Li Zhen, the clan leader of the Li clan, and Li Yinjie stood respectfully to the side. A large group of Li clan disciples surrounded the Bei Xuan faction members.
"Elder Liu, this is our target this time: The Lin family."
At this moment, Li Zhen was like a lapdog, bowing and nodding beside the old man.
"Then I want to know. What confidence does the Lin family have? They actually disobeyed my words." Liu Yun said disdainfully.
After saying that, Liu Yun took the lead and walked toward the Lin family.
The guards on both sides of the Lin family's main gate had already left. The main gate was opened as if saying, "Our Lin family is waiting for you inside.".
At the same time, in the main hall of the Lin family's main courtyard.
Lin Zhenshan's expression was solemn. He sat on the seat of the family head, with Lin Haoyu standing behind him.
The Lin family's elders sat at the bottom of the main hall, with the Lin family's consecrated guards standing behind them.
The Lin family members, who had some basic strength, were currently standing guard around the Lin family's main hall.
Everyone stared at the outside of the main hall without saying a word. The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
"Family head, the Li family has brought people from Bei Xuan faction in."
At this moment, a Lin family member ran over and shouted.
Not long after, Lin Zhenshan saw Liu Yun's figure appear in front of him and the crowd behind him.
