The Stunned Crowd, Lin Zhentian Breaks Through!

"What are you all standing there for? Pack up, it's time to go back," Lin Yi said indifferently, looking at the stunned crowd.

"Yes, Young Master Lin Yi!"

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Luo Ling was the first to react, quickly responding with a respectful tone.

It wasn't just Luo Ling; everyone present looked at Lin Yi with a newfound sense of reverence.

Following this, the group simply tidied up the battlefield and bandaged the wounded before continuing their journey toward Ironwood Manor.

This time, Lin Yi did not break away from the team; he sat on the back of Little Yan, slowed his pace, and traveled along with the others.

After about two hours, Ironwood Manor appeared at the edge of their vision.

On the walls of Ironwood Manor, Lin Xiao and the others had been waiting anxiously ever since Lin Yi led the group away.

However, when they saw a familiar group of people appearing in their line of sight, their hearts finally settled.

"The waves behind push the waves ahead; this kid is truly remarkable..." Looking at the fiery red figure galloping toward them, Lin Mang couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

They were all very clear about the strength of Xie Qian, yet Lin Yi had managed to bring everyone back safely, which was enough to show his formidable ability.

Under Lin Yi's leadership, this final group of Lin Family members successfully entered Ironwood Manor, and cheers soon erupted all around.

"Mother!"

Lin Xia leaped quickly from the wall and threw herself into the arms of a middle-aged woman, tears streaming down her face; she had been just as terrified this time.

"Lin Yi, thank you," Lin Xia whispered after snuggling in her mother's arms for a moment, then turning to give Lin Yi a gentle hug.

"We're family, no need for formalities," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Yi'er, are you alright?" Lin Xiao and the others gathered around, asking with concern.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I'm fine, not a single scratch."

"That bastard Xie Qian, we must settle this score with him properly in the future!" Lin Mang said with a hint of malice.

Luo Ling, standing to the side, had a somewhat strange expression upon hearing this. He hesitated before saying, "Second Master, I'm afraid you won't be able to settle the score with Xie Qian; he has already died at the hands of Young Master Lin Yi."

"What?"

Hearing Luo Ling's words, not only Lin Mang, but Lin Ken, Lin Xiao, and the others were filled with shock.

Although Lin Yi had also broken through to the Late Heaven Origin Realm, they felt that since he had only just broken through, there should still be a gap between him and Xie Qian. Even with the assistance of Spiritual Energy, his overall strength should at most be barely on par with Xie Qian.

However, they never expected that Lin Yi could actually kill Xie Qian!

"Yi'er, is this true?" After a long silence, Lin Xiao looked at Lin Yi and asked seriously.

"It is true," Lin Yi nodded slightly.

"Hiss!"

Upon receiving confirmation from Lin Yi, Lin Ken and the others couldn't help but gasp, their faces full of astonishment.

The younger generation, including Qing Tan, Lin Xia, and Lin Dong, looked at Lin Yi with eyes full of admiration.

"Good lad," Lin Xiao patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, feeling both gratified and proud. "Before I knew it, you've already surpassed me."

"Just good luck and a few opportunities," Lin Yi said with a modest smile.

As they spoke, Lin Yi's expression shifted slightly, and his gaze suddenly turned toward a quiet room deep within Ironwood Manor.

From there, a powerful, suffocating surge of Yuan Power suddenly erupted, forming a vortex of energy.

It seems the day of Grandfather's breakthrough is today...

Watching the Yuan Power vortex forming in the sky above the depths of Ironwood Manor, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

Following Lin Yi, Lin Ken, Lin Xiao, and the others also discovered the activity in the quiet room; they were startled at first, then their faces filled with wild joy.

"Father has succeeded!"

Excitement and ecstasy filled everyone's faces; they had been waiting for this day for a long time!

Lin Yi looked up and saw that the Yuan Power vortex resembled a tornado, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with its lower end plunging directly into the quiet room.

Such a shocking scene naturally caused a commotion throughout the manor in an instant. Almost everyone ran out of their houses, staring in horror at the Yuan Power vortex above the quiet room.

"From now on, the Lin Family shall be the masters of Qingyang Town!" Lin Mang said, his face flushed with excitement.

Beside him, Lin Xiao and Lin Ken nodded in agreement.

There were currently no Yuan Dan Stage experts in Qingyang Town. Now that their Lin Family had produced one, they would have no rivals in the town!

"It's not just Qingyang Town. Once we deal with the Lei and Xie families, our Lin Family can use this as a base to enter Flame City. With its abundance of experts, that is where our family can accelerate its development," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Indeed," Lin Ken and Lin Mang nodded in strong agreement.

"Hum!"

Under the gaze of the Lin Family members, filled with excitement and anticipation, the Yuan Power vortex above the quiet room suddenly shook violently, then transformed into pillars of Yuan Power visible to the naked eye.

"Whoosh!"

As the vortex turned into pillars, a figure suddenly shot out from the quiet room and soared directly into the sky. He opened his mouth toward the heavens, and a speck of light the size of a thumb was spat out.

The moment that speck of light appeared, the Yuan Power pillars filling the sky seemed to be drawn by a magnetic force, rapidly converging toward it.

In just a few short minutes, all the pillars of Yuan Power had vanished into that seemingly unremarkable little speck of light, which finally condensed into a thumb-sized, pure white bead—this was none other than the Yuan Dan of Lin Zhentian!

Lin Yi fixed his gaze upon the small white bead, and by relying on his exceptional Spiritual Energy, he detected four extremely fine star patterns etched onto the surface of the Yuan Dan.

This signified that the Yuan Dan Lin Zhentian had condensed was a Four-star Yuan Dan.

High in the air, Lin Zhentian opened his mouth to swallow the Yuan Dan into his body, his figure landing lightly atop a giant tree.

His body remained motionless upon the tree, yet a peculiar aura spread outward from him; with every breath he took, ripples of Yuan Power surged around him.

"As expected of the Yuan Dan Stage, to think he could reach this level."

Lin Xiao and the others watched this scene, their hearts surging with excitement and their faces filled with envy.

"Lei Family, the Lin Family has endured for many years, and it is finally time to collect our debts from you!"

At the top of the tree, Lin Zhentian looked down over the entire Ironwood Manor. Feeling the power within his body surge more than tenfold, his mood was equally stirred. He clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed toward the direction of Qingyang Town as he muttered to himself.

Seeing that Lin Zhentian had successfully broken through, Lin Yi, Lin Xiao, and the others hurried toward the location of the quiet room.

"Congratulations, Grandfather, on breaking through to the Yuan Dan Stage!" Lin Yi said with a smile.

Following closely behind, the three brothers of Lin Ken also stepped forward one after another to offer their congratulations to Lin Zhentian.

"Hahaha, truth be told, I was able to break through to the Yuan Dan Stage so quickly all thanks to Yi'er's help."

Lin Zhentian patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and laughed heartily, appearing extremely pleased. After a pause, he asked the group, "How has the situation been lately?"

Lin Ken immediately acted as the representative, reporting everything that had occurred during this period to Lin Zhentian.

Upon learning of the actions taken by the Lei and Xie families, Lin Zhentian was instantly enraged. "The Lei and Xie families have targeted my Lin Family time and time again; they truly deserve to die!"

A cold glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Grandfather, I killed Xie Qian today. The Lei and Xie families have lost another Heaven Origin Realm expert, and you have broken through to the Yuan Dan Stage."

"The high-level combat strength of the Lin Family now far exceeds that of the Lei and Xie families. It is time to take action against them!"

As Lin Yi's voice fell, Lin Ken, Lin Xiao, and the others all perked up, looking toward Lin Zhentian in unison, waiting for his decision.

Lin Zhentian swept his gaze over his children and grandchildren, his expression gradually turning resolute as he shouted:

"Lin Ken, Lin Mang, Lin Xiao, gather the guards! We march to annihilate the Lei and Xie families!"

"Yes, Father!" The three brothers of Lin Ken responded in unison upon hearing this.
