Chapter 144: Ancient Tomb Manor, Lin Langtian!
"Wow! Little Brother Lin Yan, your generosity is as great as ever."
At this moment, upon seeing the gifts Lin Yan brought in the Qiankun bag, even Xuan Su couldn't help but involuntarily gasp in amazement.
Because by now, she had auctioned many of Lin Yan's pills at their Wanjin Auction House, so she was well aware of the specific value of these pills.
According to Xuan Su's estimation just now, the batch of pills Lin Yan brought could be worth at least ten thousand Yang Yuan Pills.
With such high value items, it was just a casual gift. Xuan Su considered herself to have made numerous connections with important figures in Yan City, but truthfully, she hadn't seen anyone as generous as Lin Yan.
Therefore, even she couldn't help but feel somewhat shocked at this moment.
"Just some small gifts, nothing worth mentioning."
Lin Yan smiled at Xuan Su, then changed the subject.
"By the way, Sister Su, do you have any recent intelligence?"
The Wanjin Auction House was a large organization, so their sources of information were more developed compared to the Lin family. Every time Lin Yan came here, he would ask Xuan Su about any updates to avoid missing out on anything important.
Since Xuan Su and Lin Yan had a good relationship, upon hearing Lin Yan's inquiry, she didn't hide anything and directly replied, "Well, there is indeed a major event about to happen recently."
Xuan Su asked Lin Yan in return, "Little Brother Lin Yan, do you know about the mountain range connecting Yan City to the nearby major cities?"
Lin Yan nodded in response to Xuan Su's question, "The Flame Mountain Range? What about it?"
Xuan Su replied with a smile, "Someone discovered a tomb there."
"It seems a bit ancient, but it's said to have been left behind by a Nirvana Realm powerhouse."
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
Indeed, there seemed to be such an ancient tomb in his memory.
Moreover, it was in this ancient tomb that Lin Dong first encountered Ling Qingzhu and Lin Langtian.
Thinking of this, a hint of killing intent emerged in Lin Yan's heart.
Actually, as far as Lin Yan was concerned, he had basically no grievances with Lin Langtian. So, from his perspective, he didn't hold any grudges against Lin Langtian.
But with his increasing status in the Lin family, the growing trust from the people around him, and his increasingly close relationship with Lin Dong and Qing Tan, Lin Yan easily empathized with their emotions.
So, although Lin Langtian had no direct grudges with Lin Yan, this guy had caused Lin Xiao to suffer for so many years, shattered Lin Zhentian's dream of returning to the Lin clan, became Lin Dong's inner demon, and even made his woman Qing Tan cry.
With so many offenses piled on him, it wouldn't be excessive for Lin Yan to kill him several times over.
Therefore, at this moment, when he thought of Lin Langtian, a trace of killing intent also emerged in Lin Yan's heart.
"It seems that I have to go to this ancient tomb."
Thinking of this, Lin Yan made a decision.
Then, he muttered to himself with some curiosity.
"By the way, I can also meet Ling Qingzhu. It's said she's a woman who's no less beautiful than Qing Tan. I wonder how she looks in person."
After thanking Xuan Su, he left quickly.
Afterwards, he didn't linger too long at the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, and went straight back to the Lin family.
However, on the way to the training ground, Lin Yan found it quite noisy there. Although the Lin family disciples usually practiced there, they were disciplined, and such loud disturbances were rare.
But the situation was different now. Lin Yan felt it was quite noisy as he approached.
So, he went straight up. However, as soon as he arrived, he saw several youths who had been beaten by Lin Dong and were now threatening to find Lin Chen to deal with Lin Dong.
Naturally, Lin Yan was curious about this, as it was his first time hearing about someone named Lin Chen in the Lin family. So, he went over directly.
"What's going on, Lin Dong? Where did those people come from?" Walking up to Lin Dong, Lin Yan asked directly.
"It turns out Brother Lin Yan, you're here too."
Upon seeing Lin Yan, Lin Dong greeted him first, then said:
"Those people just now are from the Lin clan."
"I heard that there's going to be an ancient tomb opening in the Flame Mountain Range recently, so many disciples from the major clans of the Great Flame Dynasty have come."
"Our Lin family, in a sense, is also part of the Lin clan, just with a lower status, so when they came here, they naturally found us."
Lin Dong explained to Lin Yan.
As for Lin Yan, after listening to the explanation, he roughly understood the situation. He then asked, "So, there was a conflict with those kids just now?"
Lin Dong nodded, "Those people think highly of themselves just because they're from a clan."
"I couldn't stand it, so I taught them a lesson."
Lin Yan agreed, "Indeed, they need to be taught a lesson to stop them from being too arrogant."
However, Lin Dong smiled bitterly, "I'm just worried if it will cause trouble. Those few just now seemed to be going to report to someone."
Lin Yan shrugged noncommittally. If they couldn't win, they would go tell their elders. It just showed that these Lin clan people were useless and not worth Lin Yan's attention. So he didn't care at all.
After chatting with Lin Yan for a while, Lin Yan originally planned to go back to practice, but unexpectedly, he soon saw Lin Xia rushing towards him and Lin Dong.
She said to the two of them, "Lin Yan, Lin Dong, Grandpa wants to see you in the hall."
Lin Yan was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but say, "They've gone to tell their elders? Ridiculous."
He shrugged helplessly and followed Lin Dong to the hall.
However, after they arrived at the hall, they found that things seemed different. After all, just as they reached the door, they heard laughter coming from inside. Lin Yan and Lin Dong walked in, scanning the hall with their eyes.
Besides their own Lin family members, there were also many people from the Lin clan standing in the hall. For example, the disciples who had been beaten by Lin Dong earlier were also seen by Lin Yan after entering. However, these people looked mysterious and sneered when they saw Lin Yan and Lin Dong approaching.
But Lin Yan didn't pay much attention to them. It wasn't that he looked down on Lin Dong; it was just that anyone who could be beaten by Lin Dong wasn't worthy of Lin Yan's attention.
Lin Yan's gaze quickly fell on two other young people, who were quite imposing.
The man looked about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, tall and muscular, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and appeared quite handsome.
The woman was also quite good-looking, wearing a white dress, tall and graceful. But what surprised people was her pair of heterochromatic eyes, emitting a blue light around the edges, which looked extremely unusual.
However, Lin Yan quickly withdrew his gaze after taking a glance. Although the two seemed impressive, after sensing their aura, Lin Yan found that their cultivation was much lower than his own, so he lost interest.
"Grandpa."
Lin Yan and Lin Dong first greeted Lin ZhenTian as they approached.
As for Lin ZhenTian, upon seeing Lin Yan and Lin Dong coming, he quickly said to them, "Ah, you're here, Yan'er, Dong'er."
"Come, let me introduce you. This is the leader of the Lin clan who came this time. You should address him as Senior Tao."
"Hello, Senior Tao."
Lin Yan and Lin Dong both smiled and greeted him. However, during this process, Lin Yan secretly observed and found that although Senior Tao was also a Yuan Dan realm pinnacle warrior, his aura was weaker than his own. It seemed that there was a gap between them due to differences in cultivation techniques.
"Hehe, indeed talented individuals. It seems that your wish for the family meeting two years later can also be fulfilled!" Senior Tao was quite friendly, perhaps because of his good relationship with Lin ZhenTian. Therefore, he also praised Lin Yan and Lin Dong generously upon seeing them.
"Senior Tao, the family meeting is not just about looks. We still need to know their actual strength. What if they turn out to be burdens? If we fail the mission in the end, it will be hard to explain to the elders when we return to the clan." Lin Chen suddenly interjected with a slightly gloomy tone.
Lin ZhenTian quickly agreed, "Yes, both of them are good seedlings, and it should be beneficial for them to go to the ancient tomb manor for training. So, please take care of them, Senior Tao."
After pondering for a moment, Senior Tao reluctantly agreed. Although it was against the rules, he didn't refuse because of his good relationship with Lin ZhenTian. "Alright, I'll do my best to help them."
Lin ZhenTian was naturally delighted to hear this. But before he could express his gratitude to Senior Tao, he heard the man beside him speak up again.
"Wait a minute!"
"Senior Tao, this trip to the ancient tomb manor is quite important. We don't know the strength of these two people yet. What if we bring two burdens? If we fail the mission, it will be hard to explain to the elders when we return to the clan."
Lin Chen explained to Senior Tao with a smile.
"Hehe, please rest assured, with Yan'er and Dong'er's strength, they shouldn't hold us back."
Lin ZhenTian quickly smiled.
But Lin Chen didn't give Lin ZhenTian any face at all. Before Lin ZhenTian could finish his words, he said, "Mr. Lin ZhenTian, words are easy to say. But the specific strength, I think we need to test it personally."
After saying this, Lin Chen turned to Senior Tao again, "Senior Tao, I'm not trying to cause trouble, but many of our brothers here are also worried that we won't be able to complete the mission in the end."
"So, we have only one request, let these two let me test them."
"You can let them both come at me, and if they can withstand ten moves from me, I won't object."
Senior Tao looked embarrassed when he heard this.
As for the Lin family members behind him, they all became somewhat angry. In their view, Lin Chen was simply too arrogant.
Lin Dong originally planned to step forward directly.
But Lin Yan pressed his shoulder with one hand and said, "I'll go."
Lin Dong obediently stepped back.
As for Lin Yan, he quickly walked up and said to Lin Chen:
"Ten moves are too many."
"I'll challenge you. If you can withstand one move from me, I'll admit defeat."
