Invading the Yan Family

After drinking a mouthful of Spirit Spring Water, Lin Le immediately felt a refreshing coolness spread through his body.

Washing down the water, Lin Le ate the high-quality medicinal herbs he had collected, mouthful by mouthful.

He circulated his Dao Induction technique, rapidly refining the spiritual energy released from digestion and converting it into streams of pure True Qi, storing it within the Secret Realm.

At times like this, Lin Le envied Qingli's large mouth. Qingli could swallow hundreds of pounds of medicinal herbs in one go, while he had to eat them piece by piece.

As if sensing Lin Le's thoughts, the Hun Tian Ling, which had been circulating within his body, suddenly emerged. It transformed into a seven-zhang long silk ribbon, enveloping all the medicinal herbs.

Blood flames surged, refining the herbs into a pool of medicinal liquid within a few breaths. It then gathered the liquid and sent it to Lin Le's mouth.

Lin Le looked at the medicinal liquid, then glanced at the Hun Tian Ling, which seemed to be acting a bit subservient. He tilted his head back and drank it down.

"Your natal magical artifact is quite interesting," Qingli said, leaning closer and looking at the Hun Tian Ling. "This is the first time I've seen a magical artifact with such strong sentience."

"Perhaps it was formed from my Blood Qi," Lin Le said, waving his hand. The Hun Tian Ling re-entered his body.

"Is that so? I seem to recall that those from the Huangting are generally more agile, while those from the Spiritual Platform are a bit clunkier," Qingli said with some confusion.

The golden ring on Lin Le's wrist suddenly buzzed. You're the clunky one, your whole family is clunky!

Lin Le looked at the golden ring on his wrist and fell silent. So it turned out you were from the Spiritual Platform. He had always thought the Hun Tian Ling was from the Spiritual Platform.

Back then, unable to control the spiritual light, Lin Le hadn't known which of the three spiritual lights was which, nor where they had each entered.

So, are you from the Huangting?

Lin Le tried to convey his thoughts to the Hun Tian Ling.

The Hun Tian Ling, however, suddenly swam to his Mud Pill Palace, indicating that it originated from there.

The Heavenly Gate?

Lin Le glanced at the Yin Yang Fish in his Inner Scenery. Then you must be from the Huangting?

The Yin Yang Fish leaped out of the water, indicating affirmation.

Lin Le was speechless. The three of them were truly going their separate ways.

Ignoring these three lively companions, Lin Le continued to refine the resources. He had to admit that these resources were far more abundant than those of Steward Lu and Gentry Cai.

After refining for three days, Lin Le finally finished processing all the resources here.

However, his cultivation progress had only increased from one-tenth to three-tenths, and that was solely for the building of his physical body. This was because Lin Le had allocated most of his True Qi to nourishing his physical form.

His current Strength had reached twenty-two thousand two hundred catties, nearly doubling from when he first entered this realm!

But this was his limit. Lin Le felt a barrier lodged in his physical body. Forcibly breaking through it seemed to carry the risk of his physical body collapsing.

Lin Le summoned the Hun Tian Ling. The silk surface, as smooth as silk, now had a few small patterns. As Lin Le's physical body strengthened, its essence, being Blood Qi, had also become a low-grade magical artifact.

Using his Inner Scenery divine ability, Lin Le looked at the lotus flower and lotus root:

Current Human Dao merit: 198 points. Earthly Dao merit: 5 points. Killing karma: 185 points.

Consuming one hundred points of Human Dao merit, Lin Le spent a thought-year, perfecting the Thirteen Revolutions of Fighting Heaven.

Snapping back to reality, Lin Le picked up the Tiger Bone Spear and felt as if he were holding a toothpick.

'I need to reforge it. Otherwise, if I'm not careful, it'll snap.'

Lin Le walked out of the mountain cave where he had been hiding for the past three days.

Having killed so many people, the people in the town, unless they were fools, would surely investigate all outsiders from recent days. Lin Le naturally wouldn't stay in town and wait for those people to find him.

Thirteen Revolutions of Fighting Heaven: Star Point!

He thrust his spear down, like a falcon's dive, striking directly at the vital points of life.

Thirteen Revolutions of Fighting Heaven: Leakless!

His spear formed a circle, impenetrable, like rain hitting banana leaves without a single drop escaping.

He practiced the first to fourth styles repeatedly, trying to find that crucial breakthrough, but he couldn't.

'The merging of momentum and momentum is more difficult than I imagined,' Lin Le thought with some regret as he stopped his spear.

That breakthrough was far more difficult than he had anticipated. In his thought-year, he had figured out the third and fourth styles within three months, but the fifth style had been challenging for over two years, with only a slight glimmer of progress.

Fortunately, his understanding of momentum had deepened a bit, so it wasn't a complete waste.

'I hope that Town Chief is strong.'

Lin Le licked his teeth, feeling a surge of eagerness.

According to idle gossip from the tavern, the Town Chief was a Spiritual Platform cultivator at the Third Layer.

And according to the information Qingli provided, if he were just an ordinary Spiritual Platform cultivator, a Third Layer cultivator's physical strength would only be around twenty thousand catties.

However, Third Layer cultivators had already begun refining two types of Five Elements Qi. With the five elements mutually generating, their techniques had gained further power.

But Lin Le had comprehended momentum, and his techniques were also quite powerful. He had easily broken through Gentry Cai's move back then.

Walking down the mountain, Lin Le headed straight for the Town Chief's residence.

Meanwhile, Town Chief Yan, who was eating, felt his eyelids twitch. He had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

Did the group of bandits target him?

Town Chief Yan suddenly had this thought. In his opinion, whoever destroyed Gentry Cai, Gentry Lu, and the Xiang Family's medicinal estates must have been a group of bandits, otherwise, they wouldn't have been so thoroughly plundered.

When he went to handle the aftermath for the three families, apart from some fixed properties and difficult-to-dispose-of large items, the total haul he collected wasn't even a hundred taels, and it was all in scattered copper coins.

With his family present, Town Chief Yan couldn't appear too panicked. He put down his chopsticks and quietly instructed the maidservant who was waiting nearby.

The maidservant nodded and left immediately.

The other members of the Yan family didn't pay much attention, thinking Town Chief Yan had asked the maidservant to handle a minor matter.

After exiting the room, the maidservant immediately found a man and whispered, "Guard Leader, the master has instructed you to send someone to invite the people from the Xiang Family over. He wants to treat them to a simple meal tonight."

With the Xiang Family's medicinal estate destroyed, the Xiang Family naturally had to send people to investigate. Town Chief Yan felt his own martial prowess was insufficient, so he naturally set his sights on the Xiang family members.

"Invite the Xiang family?" Guard Leader frowned, a little confused. The Xiang family had already been invited once when they arrived, so why invite them again?

However, this was Town Chief Yan's decision. He was merely a gatekeeper and clearly had no right to comment.

"Understood." Guard Leader nodded and turned to handle the matter.

As a few guards left the Yan family courtyard, they happened to brush past a man carrying a long spear on the road.

"Yan Family." Lin Le glanced at the nameplate above the gate and walked straight inside.

The two gate guards saw this and crossed their spears, blocking Lin Le. One of them shouted, "Stop! The Yan Family is under strict guard. Visitors must state their purpose!"

"Annihilate your entire clan," Lin Le said softly.

"What?" One guard thought he had misheard. Just as he was about to shout, "Say that again," he saw Lin Le exhale.

Like a long arrow, his sword instantly pierced the heads of the two guards.

A red sash wrapped around Lin Le's shoulders, and then both ends wrapped around the hilts of the Yin-Yang Twin Swords.

With two swish sounds, the twin swords, which were stuck in the stone wall, were pulled out, dancing with the red sash.

Bang! Kicking the main gate open, Lin Le killed anyone he saw.

"What kind of demon dares to act so savagely in the Yan Family?" The approaching Guard Leader roared in fury upon seeing this.

Lin Le glanced at him and flicked his finger. The golden ring on his wrist shot out immediately.

The Guard Leader swung his great saber, slashing through the air. His True Qi, like a fierce tiger, charged directly at the golden light.

It seemed like a Cultivator at the First Layer.

But the gap between one First Layer and another could sometimes be as vast as the difference in physique between a small hill and a large mountain.

Bang! Bang!

One sound shattered the fierce tiger, and another struck down the Six Yang Crown.

A headless corpse slumped down limply.

Lin Le retracted his gaze and looked at the approaching Town Chief Yan.
