This is the consequence of not finding a good big brother!

In that instant, the many factions on the Grand Stage could no longer sit still.

A Heavenly Yuan Stage Fire Python Tiger had actually appeared in the Beast Horn Arena forest.

How dangerous was that for the contestants taking part in the hunt inside the forest?

No faction would stand by and watch the younger members of its clan be killed by a Heavenly Yuan Stage Demonic Beast that had barged into the Beast Horn Arena forest!

"What? There are three little Fire Python Tiger Cubs too!?"

Lin Zhentian and Luo Cheng exchanged a look, both realizing the severity of the situation.

Compared to a Heavenly Yuan Stage Demonic Beast like the Fire Python Tiger, an enemy that brought only harm and no benefit, those three little Fire Python Tiger Cubs were far, far better.

Only Fire Python Tiger Cubs at a young age could be tamed.

Once they were tamed and grew into adults, they would possess Heavenly Yuan Stage strength. For the major factions of Qingyang Town, whose top combat power was currently only at the Heavenly Yuan Stage, they were practically pieces of longevity meat!

"Yes, Grandpa."

Lin Chen's gaze flickered slightly as he continued, "However, the Fire Python Tiger has already fled into the Boundless Mountain Range. As for the three cubs, no one knows whether they're still in the Beast Horn Arena forest or were taken away by it."

He understood one thing very well: only by deceiving everyone could they be safer.

That applied both to those of them who had obtained the Fire Python Tiger Cubs and to the Fire Python Tiger that had returned to the Boundless Mountain Range.

"Never mind that for now. We move immediately!"

Lin Zhentian's eyes were filled with burning fervor. As long as they obtained the Fire Python Tiger Cubs, the Lin Family could become stronger, and they would no longer have to worry so much about the pressure from the Lei Family and the Xie Family!

And if the Lei Family and the Xie Family obtained the Fire Python Tiger Cubs, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Lin Zhentian and Luo Cheng exchanged a look and briefly communicated, both understanding the purpose of this trip.

Either they seized the Fire Python Tiger Cubs, or no one would get them!

As Lin Zhentian and Luo Cheng, the two Heavenly Yuan Stage experts, set off, Lei Bao and Xie Qian were unwilling to fall behind and charged out as well.

Lin Ken and Lin Xiao did not move, merely staying behind to hold the Grand Stage.

Although the Fire Python Tiger Cubs were extremely tempting, they had to ensure the safety of younger members like Lin Chen and Lin Dong, lest someone harm them!

A long while later, the leaders of the four great factions of Qingyang Town all returned with gloomy expressions.

"Father, how is it?"

Lin Ken was the first to step forward and ask.

He looked around; it seemed none of them had gained anything.

"Don't mention it. We turned the Beast Horn Arena forest upside down, but we didn't see those three Fire Python Tiger Cubs. We even went a little way into the Boundless Mountain Range to check, but still found nothing."

Lin Zhentian shook his head and sighed.

"Looks like that Heavenly Yuan Stage Fire Python Tiger took the three cubs away!"

No one suspected this was false. They had all gone to see the place where the Fire Python Tiger had previously given birth to its cubs; it was not an empty claim.

With so many people having seen it, it certainly could not be fake.

There was only one possibility: the Fire Python Tiger had taken the three cubs away.

"If we'd been told earlier, perhaps we wouldn't have let that Fire Python Tiger escape!"

Luo Cheng's expression was extremely ugly. No matter what, he had never expected a Heavenly Yuan Stage Fire Python Tiger to appear in the Beast Horn Arena forest, much less give birth here.

If they had been notified earlier, they would at least have been able to obtain the cubs.

Divided according to strength, the Lei Family and the Xie Family would have obtained one, and the Mad Saber Martial Hall would also have gotten one.

What a pity...

As for the Lin Family, they did not yet qualify to share in the division.

In Qingyang Town, there were only three top-tier factions!

The four great factions, including the Lin Family, all felt a sense of painful regret at this moment.

Those were Heavenly Yuan Stage Demonic Beast cubs. Once missed, there would be no second chance!

Since things had already come to this, Lei Bao, the patriarch of the Lei Family, had no choice but to accept the situation.

He stood at the front of the Grand Stage and said coldly, "The Hunting Activity will continue as normal. The ten contestants who have obtained ten Identity Tokens, please proceed to the Grand Stage competition arena and begin the matches to decide the final champion ranking!"

Lei Bao's face was filled with gloom.

If they had not been outside, he would definitely have given Lei Li a vicious scolding.

When he discovered that the Fire Python Tiger had given birth to cubs, he had actually failed to send someone to report it immediately, leading to this situation.

Damn it!

What displeased him the most was that an Earthly Yuan Stage had actually appeared on the Lin Family's side!

Lei Bao's gaze landed on Lin Chen, then shifted to Lin Dong beside him as he carefully sized him up.

According to Lei Li and Xie Yingying, Lin Dong seemed to have already reached the Earthly Yuan Stage. Yet back at the Trading Fair, he had only been at the Ninth Level of Body Tempering.

With such terrifying strength, even without the Fire Python Tiger Cub, another Heavenly Yuan Stage expert would appear among them sooner or later!

A hidden danger like this could not be allowed to remain!

A cold glint flashed in Lei Bao's eyes as he said sternly, "Lei Li and Lin Dong have both reached the Earthly Yuan Stage, so they may enter the Final Four Tournament directly. Once the remaining contestants have decided the other two spots in the Final Four Tournament, the finals will proceed!"

The sudden change in the rules shocked everyone present.

But what mattered most was still what Lei Bao had said about Lei Li and Lin Dong having reached the Earthly Yuan Stage.

"Dong'er, you reached the Earthly Yuan Stage!?"

After hearing this, Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao looked at Lin Dong in great shock and asked.

"Well..."

Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, Grandpa, Father."

He repeated the excuse he had used earlier when facing Lei Li and Xie Yingying.

To put it simply, the reason he had been able to reach the Earthly Yuan Stage so quickly was thanks to the things inside someone else's Storage Bag.

As for what had truly brought about such a great improvement, that was a secret belonging to Lin Dong and Lin Chen.

"Good, good, very good!"

Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao grabbed Lin Dong's arm, so excited that tears streamed down their faces.

Heaven had blessed the Lin Family for a junior to reach the Earthly Yuan Stage!

They suddenly thought of something. Since even Lin Dong had reached the Earthly Yuan Stage, then what cultivation had Lin Chen reached now, when he had defeated Lei Li—who had been at the Ninth Level of Body Tempering—back at the Trading Fair?

For a moment, their expressions turned a little graver.

No wonder Lei Bao had made that announcement just now. He was clearly afraid that Lei Li would run into Lin Chen too early during the matches and be eliminated.

"We didn't obtain the Fire Python Tiger Cub, so we're not yet at the point of going to war with the Lei and Xie families. But now that we have Ah Chen and Dong'er, I fear a storm is coming."

Lin Zhentian reminded them in a deep voice, "Lin Ken, Lin Xiao, you must raise your guard!"

Lin Ken and Lin Xiao said, "Yes, Father."

At that moment, Lin Chen winked at Wu Yun, moved his lips, and silently said a sentence.

That was: after the Qingyang Town Hunting Event, come to the Lin Family, and bring Miss Mu Lingsha with you.

His purpose was simple: to divide up the Fire Python Tiger Cubs.

Moreover, they had to do it in front of the Heavenly Yuan Stage Demonic Beast, the Fire Python Tiger, to ensure nothing went wrong.

Wu Yun's heart leaped with joy, but he also steadied himself and did not show it.

For the sake of the three Fire Python Tiger Cubs' safety, the few of them had deceived everyone and made it this far.

If anyone found out, all their efforts would go to waste!

Compared with the Fire Python Tiger Cubs, this hunting event was actually not especially important.

After all, the true essence of the hunting event was for each family to fight over the right to speak in Qingyang Town for the next five years.

And the simplest and most practical method was nothing more than producing more Heavenly Yuan Stage experts!

Wu Yun did not know exactly what method Lin Chen had used to hide the three Fire Python Tiger Cubs so thoroughly that even the four great Heavenly Yuan Stage experts had failed to find them.

He racked his brains but still could not understand it. It seemed to exceed the limits of his personal understanding.

In that case, he might as well stop thinking about it.

Wu Yun only knew that he had to stick with Lin Chen.

Hadn't he seen it? Back at the Trading Fair, Lin Dong had only been at Body Tempering Stage Eight, yet now he had already reached the initial Earthly Yuan Stage.

As for him, damn it, he was still at the Ninth Level of Body Tempering...

This was what happened when you failed to find a good big brother to follow.
