Chapter 219: Return to the Lin Family, Farewell to Qingtan
At this moment, outside Yan City.
With a simple gesture from Lin Yan, he directly pushed back the Formation Realm warrior who was on the competition stage. Everyone present was astonished and incredulous.
After all, this was not the Grand Desolation County.
Here, Formation Realm warriors were still an absolute symbol of power.
Therefore, when they realized that the formidable formation expert in their minds had been suddenly defeated by someone who appeared out of nowhere, they were all dumbfounded.
They looked towards Lin Yan with expressions of amazement.
Each of them was filled with astonishment.
Obviously, everyone wanted to know who had just acted.
"Lin Yan. Lin Dong."
"Have they returned?"
The City Lord followed the gaze and looked towards where the attacker was.
However, just as he was about to look, he suddenly saw Lin Dong and Lin Yan among the crowd, and he was dumbfounded on the spot.
"Isn't this Lin Yan?"
"Has he returned?!"
"So, it was him who directly defeated a formation expert. Then, it's him!"
The other warriors also quickly recognized Lin Yan.
After all, in Yan City, Lin Yan was extremely famous.
And his change during the last year wasn't that big, so those who had been in Yan City for a long time recognized him immediately.
However, in places like Yan City, power changes quickly.
Every year, many new emerging forces were established in Yan City, and naturally, many people didn't know Lin Yan.
So, this part of the people, after seeing the reaction of others, was a little intrigued: "Lin Yan? Who is he? Is he powerful?"
Other warriors began to explain: "He sure is!"
"More precisely, the most powerful in Yan City is not the City Lord, but Lin Yan."
"But more than a year ago, after defeating the City Lord, Lin Yan went out to train and didn't return for a long time."
"So discussions about Lin Yan have become much less common."
"But anyone who has been in Yan City for a while knows that the strongest in Yan City has always been Lin Yan."
Many warriors patiently explained to newcomers to Yan City.
After listening to everyone's explanations, they understood much more about Lin Yan's identity.
When they looked at him again, their eyes were filled with excitement. They didn't expect to see such a legendary figure today.
"So, in that case, what happened today becomes interesting."
"After all, by Lin Yan's attitude, he's surely on the side of the City Lord."
"And this Black Dragon League seems to be a hostile force."
People continued discussing.
Only the young man who was defeated by Lin Yan understood Lin Yan's identity from the words of others.
"I understand."
"So, you're Lin Yan?"
"Well, let me test your strength."
The young man seemed to have heard about Lin Yan's strength before.
However, after finding out that the person in front of him was Lin Yan, instead of feeling afraid, he became even more defiant.
He quickly stepped forward and then threw a punch towards Lin Yan.
"Lin Yan, be careful, he's very powerful."
The City Lord behind him quickly warned him.
However, Lin Yan didn't pay much attention.
He smiled slightly and, before the other's attack reached him, a powerful mental force surged directly from his body.
The young man was instantly knocked to the ground by this mental force from Lin Yan, and his defeat was extremely embarrassing. Meanwhile, Lin Yan didn't even look at him, quickly heading towards the City Lord and taking out a pill from his storage ring, then asked, "It's been a long time, City Lord."
The City Lord was stunned to see this.
After all, he could clearly see that the youth in front of him was instantly killed by Lin Yan with just a glance. But surprisingly, he couldn't even discern what technique Lin Yan used. He could only sigh in amazement and say, "It seems like your power has become even more formidable."
He quickly took the pill Lin Yan gave him and ingested it directly. As it entered his mouth, a potent medicinal force surged, instantly healing the City Lord's previous injuries.
Then, he looked at Lin Yan and said, "Your medicines are really effective, as always."
Lin Yan smiled and asked, "What's the situation now, City Lord? Who is this guy?"
He was quite puzzled and asked the City Lord, although to him, the City Lord was like an insignificant ant. Still, he was a little intrigued by the man's identity, as he didn't recall hearing about someone like this near Yan City.
"He's a member of the Black Dragon League," the City Lord replied with a sigh. He didn't hide anything and explained in detail to Lin Yan, "Since you left, Yan City and its surroundings have been peaceful. But a few months ago, a new force called the Black Dragon League appeared. It's an alliance led by a Formation Realm warrior. However, this man acts extremely authoritarian and his goal is to dominate the entire Sky County. Therefore, they've been inviting many cities and forces in the county. At first, their invitations were sincere, but if they were rejected, they resorted to force to eliminate them. Over the past few months, they've subdued many forces using force. Recently, they've set their sights on our Yan City, but we have no intention of submitting, hence the earlier fight."
The City Lord explained in detail to Lin Yan.
Since explaining everything would take a long time, he only selected some important points to summarize.
However, because of this, Lin Yan roughly understood what was happening.
"Ah, I see."
"So, in that case, there's no need to be kind to this guy."
Lin Yan sighed and said, "I should know what to do now."
He quickly approached and, to the astonishment of everyone, stepped on the young man's arm. The young man didn't understand what Lin Yan was doing, but when Lin Yan stepped forcefully, he felt extreme pain and realized that Lin Yan had shattered his arm. He became enraged, his eyes turning red with anger. "Are you defying our Black Dragon League with this behavior?"
Lin Yan kicked him in the face and said, "Interpret it as you will."
"If it bothers you, you can bring your leader to Yan City."
"But when he arrives, none of you will survive."
"Get lost!"
He kicked him and threw him away.
If it weren't because he deliberately wanted him to return with a message, he would have considered killing him.
The young man could only escape with shame on his face.
After all, after the previous fight, he realized he was no match for Lin Yan. If he wanted revenge, he would have to rely on the entire Black Dragon League.
"Hmph! You'll regret this!"
The young man left an angry threat and quickly departed.
At this moment, he was already planning how to exaggerate things when he returned and convince his leader to send forces to destroy Yan City.
Lin Yan didn't care about this little character at all.
Lin Yan didn't bother to pay attention to such insignificant characters.
Soon, he entered Yan City with the City Lord.
He smiled and said, "City Lord, you won't blame me for intervening in this matter, will you?"
The City Lord smiled bitterly and said, "How could I? Even if you don't intervene, the battle between our Yan City and the Black Dragon League is inevitable."
"Because they've always been like this, they'll use force to confront those who refuse to submit. So unless our Yan City is also willing to submit, this battle can't be avoided in any way."
Lin Yan smiled and didn't say much.
The City Lord quickly asked again, "But, Lin Yan, how far have you come in your power now?"
"The leader of this Black Dragon League is a Formation Realm warrior," he said. "If you can't beat him, then it will be a disaster for our entire Yan City."
Lin Yan heard this and laughed, "He's just a Formation Realm warrior. With one finger, I can crush him. Leave it to me when the time comes."
The City Lord was bewildered by this statement.
After all, the way Lin Yan spoke just now was extremely arrogant.
If it were someone else, he would have thought he was boasting.
But he knew Lin Yan's character well; he never bragged, and even when he spoke, he was confident in himself.
So now he felt a little stunned.
Considering Lin Yan was already at the Formation Realm when he left, along with his talent and terrifying power, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you advanced to the Formation Realm as well?"
He knew that Lin Yan was always invincible at the same level.
Lin Yan smiled and didn't explain, "You'll know when the time comes."
After patting the City Lord on the shoulder, he prepared to leave quickly. After all, he had finally returned to Yan City, and naturally, he wanted to see his family first.
So he simply told the City Lord, "Let me handle this matter. If the Black Dragon League becomes too arrogant, I'll find an opportunity to deal with them."
"I'm going home first. If you have time, come to the Lin House for a drink. How's Ziyue been lately? I can bring her along too."
The City Lord smiled bitterly, "You're a trickster. You leave after charming people. Ziyue at home has been thinking a lot about you."
"When I return, I'll tell her you've come back; I'm sure she'll be very happy."
Saying this, the City Lord couldn't help but look to the side, where Mu Qianqian and Xiaocai were.
Although he didn't object to Ziyue liking Lin Yan, it seemed this guy had too many women.
He really feared that Ziyue wouldn't be able to find her place.
But as for his daughter's affairs of the heart, he didn't want to intervene too much.
After all, it's only real love if it's genuine.
If Ziyue truly loves, then, even if this guy has many women, as long as there's a place for Ziyue, and she doesn't mind, the City Lord won't say much more.
He quickly bid farewell to Lin Yan.
And as for Lin Yan, he quickly went with Lin Dong and the others to the Lin House.
They quickly arrived at the main gate of the Lin House, and then entered directly.
The Lin House was now much more powerful than before.
Even the guards at the gate of the Lin House were at the Heaven Realm, which made Lin Yan feel a little nostalgic. Back then, in the Lin House, Heaven Realm warriors could be counted on one hand, but now the gate guards were already at the Heaven Realm.
"Please wait. Whom are you looking for?" The Lin House guards stopped Lin Yan, Lin Dong, and the others, and asked.
But they were quickly surprised after seeing Lin Yan and Lin Dong's appearances: "Wait a moment, are you Young Master Lin Yan and Young Master Lin Dong?"
The two Lin House guards rejoiced and said.
Lin Yan responded with a smile, "Yes, we've returned."
The two guards quickly ushered them inside, and then immediately reported to Lin Zhentian and the others.
Originally, Lin Zhentian and the others were discussing the matters of the Black Dragon League in the conference room; after all, they had been very concerned about this matter recently.
But they never expected to suddenly hear the news that Lin Yan had returned, which excited them.
"What? Yan'er and Dong'er have returned?"
"Let them in!"
Lin Zhentian and the others were excited, and Lin Xiao and the others also smiled widely. Soon, the entire Lin House was filled with excitement.
"Grandfather, Uncle Xiao."
Lin Yan greeted Lin Zhentian and his uncle when he returned with Lin Dong.
Then, after introducing Mu Qianqian and Xiaocai who were behind them, he said, "This is Xiaocai, and this is Mu Qianqian."
The two women greeted everyone very politely.
And when Lin Zhentian and the others saw Xiaocai and Mu Qianqian, they were also slightly surprised.
After all, from their demeanor, they could see that the two women were extraordinary.
Lin Zhentian and the others also greeted Xiaocai and Mu Qianqian.
Soon, everyone sat down and started chatting.
Later, Qingtan received news and ran excitedly towards them.
As soon as she entered, she excitedly hugged Lin Yan and, regardless of the looks of others, kissed him directly.
"Brother Lin Yan, I've missed you," she said.
Lin Yan smiled and stroked her head. "Yes, I've missed you too."
Then, he introduced them, "By the way, let me introduce you to two sisters."
"This is Mu Qianqian."
"She's older than you, so call her sister."
"And this is Xiaocai."
"She's the little snake I raised before, and now she's taken form."
