Within the canyon, the Lu Family group was buzzing with discussion, their words brimming with contempt whenever Lin Baichuan was mentioned.
That was only natural. Every one of them was an elite of the Lu Family. The weakest among them had reached the peak of the Eighth Rank Bone Forging Realm, while the strongest had even entered the Sixth Rank Blood Refining Realm. Lin Baichuan was merely a Junior Demon Slayer in the Ninth Rank Skin Refinement Realm. Even if he had encountered some fortuitous opportunity and possessed formidable combat strength, at most he would be comparable to someone in the Eighth Rank Bone Forging Realm.
They refused to believe that several dozen of them could not handle a single Lin Baichuan.
Of course, they had no way of knowing about Lin Baichuan's performance in Yunshan County—how he had slain the Blood Demon and the Mountain Fiend by himself. Only three people knew of those matters: Lin Baichuan himself, Qin Qing, and Li Da.
Neither Lin Baichuan nor Qin Qing would deliberately leak this information, while Li Da, intending to use the Lu Family and Song Gang to deal with Lin Baichuan, naturally would not tell the truth either.
Even when reporting to Song Gang, he claimed that Lin Baichuan had been cunning and that they had fallen into Lin Baichuan's trap, which was why they had been plotted against. First, this was to put a shine on his own face; second, he did not want anyone to know just how powerful Lin Baichuan truly was.
Because he feared that if Song Gang learned that Lin Baichuan, with the cultivation of a Ninth Rank Skin Refinement Realm, could actually kill Soldier Rank 4 Blood Demons and Mountain Fiends, his attitude toward Lin Baichuan might change.
It had to be said,
