Enemy Attack!

Great Lin Prefecture, a border county of the Great Yan Dynasty.

The Great Yan Dynasty was vast, and even with Lin Langtian's strength and the elite Tiger and Tiger Leopard Cavalry, it took them a month to travel from Great Yan Prefecture to Great Lin Prefecture.

Their destination was Black Rock Manor in Great Lin Prefecture.

Black Rock Manor is a well-known manor in Great Lin Prefecture. It is rich in Black Rock Crystal, a crystal that is like refined iron, impervious to water and fire. Moreover, its special material makes it extremely suitable for making Low-grade Spirit Treasure and various buildings.

Therefore, this kind of crystal has always been quite expensive, and in addition, the area within hundreds of miles is the territory of the Lin Clan.

Therefore, Black Rock Manor can be considered a pillar industry of the Lin Clan.

The Lin Clan's prestige stems not only from the strength of its main branch, but also from the support it receives from various industries like Black Rock Manor throughout the Great Yan Dynasty.

Without resource supply, even the powerful Lin Clan will eventually decline.

Originally, Black Rock Manor was just an ordinary manor under the Lin Clan, but the moment the Purple Spirit Crystal was unearthed, it completely stirred up the situation in Great Lin Prefecture and even the border between the two countries.

Black Rock Manor is located in the north of Great Lin Prefecture, near the border. After a morning of travel, Lin Langtian and his group arrived at the territory of the Black Rock Manor around noon.

Lin Langtian rode on horseback, looking down the slope. At the end of the main road, there stood a vast manor.

The manor stretched as far as the eye could see, and in the distance, one could vaguely make out the black crystals deep within the manor—the Black Rock Crystal Black Rock Manor.

"The gates are tightly shut. It seems that Black Rock Manor has indeed been in a state of panic lately..." Lin Langtian squinted at the closed gates and said calmly.

"Hmph, this Purple Spirit Crystal has attracted countless greedy people. These mere local tyrants dare to covet the property of my Lin Clan. They are truly courting death!" Lin Zhi, standing to the side, sneered upon hearing this.

In the past, the Lin Clan was like a dragon crossing the river, and these local powers in Great Lin Prefecture didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

However, the appearance of the Purple Spirit Crystal caused some people to lose sight of the situation and begin to covet the Lin Clan's possessions, which even led to fighting and conflict.

They didn't even consider that even if they seized Black Rock Manor temporarily, could they withstand the Lin Clan's overwhelming wrath?

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The local power of Great Lin Prefecture County is nothing, but the Ling Family of Great Qing Dynasty is watching us like a hawk, so we must be careful."

Upon hearing the Ling Family of Great Qing Dynasty, Lin Zhi was taken aback, clearly understanding what this meant. His expression hardened slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

"With Elder Lin Tao in charge, and the Clan Leader leader sending us to provide support, unless the Ling Family disregards the peace between the two countries and launches a full-scale invasion, we should be able to defend Black Rock Manor without any problem."

This Lin Tao is a powerful expert with the strength of the Creation Realm Great Completion. He is a person specially dispatched by the Lin Clan to guard Black Rock Manor.

"I hope so..." Lin Langtian murmured, then waved his hand and said, "Enter the manor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Langtian took the lead, riding his tall and magnificent horse and galloping towards the Black Rock Manor.

"Da da!"

After Lin Langtian rushed out, dozens of yellow dust clouds followed closely behind him. In just a few minutes, they appeared under the tightly closed manor gate.

"Halt! This is the Lin Clan manor. No one may enter without permission!"

As Lin Langtian and his group reached the manor gate, a cold glint appeared on the towering courtyard wall, and a person shouted at Lin Langtian and the others below.

"How dare you! This is Lin Langtian, the clan's Law Enforcement Elder. We are here to provide support on the orders of the Clan Leader. Open the gate immediately!" Lin Zhi shouted.

"Lin Langtian?"

Upon hearing this name, a murmur of surprise erupted from the towering courtyard walls.

Lin Langtian's name is known to everyone in the Lin Clan, and he is even more talked about than the Clan Leader Lin Fan, who has been in seclusion for many years.

"Hehe, so it's Elder Langtian. I didn't expect the Clan Leader to send out the most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation." At this moment, a middle-aged man in a blue robe suddenly appeared on the city wall.

As soon as he appeared, he quickly shouted at his subordinates, "You blind fools, don't you see Elder Langtian, Elder Lin Zhi, and the family's elite Tiger Leopard Cavalry? Open the door at once!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards on the courtyard wall dared not hesitate any longer and quickly opened the gate to let Lin Langtian party into the manor.

"Elder Lin Tao, please take me to see the Crystal Mine."

Upon entering the manor, Lin Langtian didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Lin Langtian was very concerned about the existence and scale of the Purple Spirit Crystal, not only for the benefit of his family, but also for the repair of the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tao was taken aback, then nodded.

Although he did not belong to Lin Langtian's faction within the family and had always remained neutral, he dared not be negligent in the face of Lin Langtian's rising power within the family.

"This way, please..." Lin Tao led Lin Langtian and his group into the manor.

Black Rock Manor covers a vast area and boasts extremely beautiful scenery. If Lin Langtian hadn't been so eager to get the Purple Spirit Crystal Mine, he might have stopped to slowly appreciate the surrounding landscape.

After walking for about 15 minutes, a dark underground cave vein, about ten feet wide, came into view of Lin Langtian and the others.

Around the cave, a layer of black light suddenly entered my eyes; it was a layer of grayish-black rock.

The rock strata emitted a faint glow, and upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see that deep within the rock strata were embedded pieces of dark black crystals, which looked as indestructible as steel.

This is Black Rock Crystal, which was originally the main product of the mineral vein here.

However, Lin Langtian's purpose in coming here was not for the Black Rock Crystal. With a flash of his eyes, he headed deeper into the Crystal Mine.

After moving around inside the cave for a while, Lin Langtian suddenly stopped at a place that had been deeply dug. He squatted down slightly, reached out and gently tapped on a dozen or so Black Rock Crystal nearby.

When his finger tapped on a piece of Black Rock Crystal near the edge, a hollow, soft sound immediately came from below.

Hearing the sound, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow, and a powerful force surged out, shattering the dozen or so pieces of Black Rock Crystal.

Suddenly, a burst of purple light shot out, startling Lin Langtian and the others so much that they quickly closed their eyes.

After the pain in his eyes gradually subsided, Lin Langtian slowly opened his eyes and looked at the small hole.

A fist-sized, sharp, purple spirit stone, rich in energy, was quietly embedded within. Radiance flowed across the purple spirit stone, making it exceptionally beautiful.

It is indeed the Purple Spirit Crystal!

Before Lin Langtian could even show a look of joy, several hurried and panicked shouts suddenly rang out throughout the manor!

Enemy attack! Enemy attack!
