Lin Zhentian's Decision, Studying the Ancient Wood!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Just then, a sky-covering swarm of Hair-thin Needles suddenly shot toward Lei Pi from every direction!

It was Lin Dong, off to the side, who had seen Lei Pi trying to flee and chosen to strike.

However, Lin Dong did not use Yuan Power to attack. Instead, he used Mental Power to control the Shattered Yuan Needles and intercept Lei Pi.

With several hundred Shattered Yuan Needles, even if only a tenth of them struck Lei Pi, it would be enough to slow him down.

Lei Pi had previously seen Lin Fan use Shattered Yuan Needles to shoot Lei Xing dead. Now, seeing several hundred Shattered Yuan Needles attack at once, his expression changed drastically.

"Boom!"

Lei Pi frantically pushed all the Yuan Power in his body and threw two punches hard in front of him. A violent Yuan Power storm blew some of the Shattered Yuan Needles slightly off course.

But there were still dozens of Shattered Yuan Needles that shot into Lei Pi's body! With dozens of Shattered Yuan Needles entering him, Lei Pi's body immediately stiffened despite himself.

Naturally, Lin Fan would not let such a good opportunity pass. He once again mobilized a Mental Power shockwave, like an arrow, stabbing fiercely toward Lei Pi's mind.

"Ah!"

Lei Pi could not help letting out a cry of pain. With a "thud," his body fell to the ground.

At the same time, Lin Fan used Mental Power to drive three Shattered Yuan Needles, shooting them toward Lei Pi's brow, throat, and heart respectively!

The Shattered Yuan Needles Lin Fan drove with Mental Power were far faster than the Shattered Yuan Needles Lin Dong had launched. In an instant, they pierced straight through Lei Pi's three vital points! "Uh..."

Lei Pi only had time to utter a single sound before his life faded. His corpse toppled onto its back, eyes wide open, dying with grievances unresolved! "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

With a thought from Lin Fan, the Shattered Yuan Needles that had shot out were taken back into the System Space.

Afterward, Lin Dong also stepped forward and put his Shattered Yuan Needles back into his Cosmos Sack.

"Fan'er, Dong'er, Qing Tan!"

At that moment, from the other end of the street, several dozen figures came rushing over quickly.

The person at their head was none other than Lin Xiao.

"Third Uncle!" "Father!"

When the three saw Lin Xiao arrive, each called out.

When Lin Xiao saw the corpses on the ground, his expression instantly changed. He shielded Lin Fan and the other two behind him and asked in a deep voice, "What happened here?"

Qing Tan said rather indignantly, "It was people from the Lei Clan. Lei Pi and Lei Xing brought a dozen people to ambush us. They were too hateful! Fortunately, Brother Lin Fan was strong and killed them all."

"Lei Pi, Lei Xing?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly. Only then did he carefully examine the corpses on the ground and quickly discovered Lei Pi among them, but he did not see Lei Xing's corpse. "Lei Xing ran away?"

Lin Fan pointed at a lump of charcoal on the ground. "That is Lei Xing."

"Hiss!"

The group of Lin Clan guards who had come with Lin Xiao could not help sucking in a breath when they saw this scene.

Even Lin Xiao's face could not help twitching.

"Good lad!" Lin Xiao patted Lin Fan's shoulder and said with relief.

The Lin Clan guards off to the side looked at Lin Fan with eyes filled with worship.

Lin Fan suddenly said, "Third Uncle, have everyone take these corpses away first. For the time being, don't let the Lei Clan know they are already dead."

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed. "You mean?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "We'll talk after we get back."

Lin Xiao nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Take all the corpses, including that lump of charcoal. We're going back!"

"Yes!"

The guards answered respectfully, then took the corpses on the ground and returned quickly to Ironwood Estate together with Lin Xiao's group.

Inside Ironwood Estate, when Lin Zhentian learned that Lin Fan and the other two had been attacked by the Lei Clan, he immediately flew into a rage. "The Lei Clan has gone too far! Do they really think my Lin Clan is so easy to bully?"

Lin Xiao said with a smile, "Father, there is no need to worry. Not only did Lei Pi and Lei Xing fail to achieve anything, but Fan'er killed them all instead."

Lin Xiao's words left Lin Zhentian, Lin Ken, and Lin Mang greatly shaken.

"That boy is truly unbelievable," Lin Zhentian said with a smile after a long while, stroking his beard, his mood extremely carefree.

A chill flashed in Lin Mang's eyes as he said, "Father, this time, it seems the Lei Clan intends to personally take action against our Lin Clan. How should we respond?"

Lin Zhentian pondered for a long while, then said, "Pass down the order. Have the Lin Clan enter a state of alert and pay attention to the Lei Clan's every move at all times. Lei Bao suffered such a great loss; he definitely won't let this rest."

At this moment, however, Lin Fan cut in and said, "Grandfather, why should we wait for the Lei Clan to come knocking? Why not go all the way and wipe out the Lei Clan directly?"

"The Lei Clan originally had five Heavenly Yuan Realm experts. Now I've already killed two of them, so only three remain."

"Looking at our Lin Clan instead, with me and Lin Dong included, we already have five Heavenly Yuan Realm experts! What's more, we also have Third Uncle, a Lesser Yuan Dan Realm expert!"

When Lin Fan finished speaking, Lin Zhentian and the three brothers, Lin Ken, Lin Mang, and Lin Xiao, all wore thoughtful expressions.

Lin Dong, however, stepped forward directly and echoed, "Grandfather, I think Brother Lin Fan is right. The Lei Clan has gotten used to acting domineeringly in Qingyang Town and has targeted our Lin Clan several times."

"Never mind the distant past. Previously, they colluded with the Black Dragon Stronghold Bandits to attack Ironwood Estate. This time, they even sent two Heavenly Yuan Realm experts to sneak-attack the three of us juniors."

"If our strength were insufficient, then so be it. But now that our Lin Clan's strength has surpassed the Lei Clan's, why should we still leave the Lei Clan around to disgust us? Who knows what despicable things they will do in the future?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Exactly. A thief may steal for a thousand days, but who can guard against thieves for a thousand days? The Lei Clan has never abandoned its desire to destroy our Lin Clan. Now is the time to pull out this malignant tumor that is the Lei Clan!"

"Hahaha, well said!" After hearing the words of his two most outstanding grandsons, Lin Zhentian suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Ever since I came to Qingyang Town and established the Lin Clan, we have constantly suffered exclusion and suppression from the Lei Clan, while we could only defend passively."

"After all these years, this old man has indeed become a little too cautious. My good grandsons are still the decisive ones!"

At this point, Lin Zhentian abruptly stood and said loudly, "Lin Ken, Lin Mang, Lin Xiao, gather the Lin Clan guards. We move out at the third watch tonight and destroy the Lei Clan!"

"Yes, Father!"

Hearing this, Lin Ken, Lin Mang, and Lin Xiao answered at the same time.

With the plan decided, Lin Zhentian and his three sons began to gather the Lin Clan guards with all their strength and make preparations before the battle.

Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and Qing Tan, meanwhile, were left idle.

"Lin Dong, let's go back first and study that Ancient Wood. Perhaps we can gain something from it."

Suddenly, Lin Fan thought of the Ancient Wood they had bought later today, so he said this to Lin Dong.

Naturally, Lin Dong had no objection to this.

Qing Tan had nothing else to do, so she went with them as well.

Before long, the three arrived at Lin Dong's room.

Lin Dong took out the moss-covered Ancient Wood from his Cosmos Sack and carefully wiped away the moss on it, revealing the blurry runes on the Ancient Wood.

Lin Fan pretended to hold the Ancient Wood and study it for a few glances, then said, "The thing inside this Ancient Wood seems to be blocked by a barrier formed from Mental Power. Let me first try using Mental Power to break through the barrier."

After saying that, Lin Fan immediately mobilized the Mental Power in his Niwan Palace, forcefully condensed it into an invisible drill, and drilled fiercely into the Ancient Wood.
