Lin Zhentian's Wish, Returning to Yan City!

The next day, the details of the Lei and Xie families' destruction completely spread.

Besides Lin Zhentian, who had successfully broken through to the Lesser Yuan Dan Stage, Lin Yi's name also became widely known in Qingyang Town.

All the younger generation in Qingyang Town regarded Lin Yi as an idol.

Lin Yi had already killed five Heaven Origin Realm experts, including Xie Qian, the head of the Xie family, who was in the Late Heaven Origin Realm!

Excluding the Lin family, how many Heaven Origin Realm experts did all the other forces in Qingyang Town have combined?

With such fearsome might, even Luo Cheng, the master of the Mad Saber Martial Hall, dared not treat Lin Yi as a junior anymore.

Early in the morning, the leaders of all the forces, including Luo Cheng, personally rushed to Ironwood Manor with gifts to congratulate Lin Zhentian on his breakthrough to the Yuan Dan Stage.

At the same time, they also wanted to test the Lin family's attitude.

The Lin family had annihilated the Lei and Xie families overnight; who knew if they had gone mad and would wipe out their forces too.

Especially those forces that had previously been friendly with the Lei and Xie families were trembling with fear.

In a spacious hall in Ironwood Manor.

Lin Zhentian sat at the head seat, looking at the assembled leaders of Qingyang Town's various forces, feeling invigorated.

After everyone had offered their congratulations, Lin Zhentian cupped his hands and said with a hearty laugh, "I was fortunate enough to break through to the Lesser Yuan Dan Stage yesterday. It's just a small achievement, yet it has troubled all of you to personally come and celebrate with me."

"Taking this opportunity, I will also explain to all of you why I took action to destroy the Lei and Xie families..."

After explaining the reason for eliminating the Lei and Xie families, Lin Zhentian continued, "If the Lei and Xie families had not been so unscrupulous, my Lin family and I would not have resorted to such iron-blooded methods!"

"Please rest assured, my Lin family has always been benevolent and willing to coexist harmoniously with everyone. As long as you do not actively provoke my Lin family, my Lin family will absolutely not take action against any family!"

Hearing Lin Zhentian's words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and the hall soon echoed with sounds of flattery.

"Patriarch Lin is righteous, I admire you!"

"The Lei and Xie families dared to assassinate young master Lin Yi and intercept Lin family women and children. They truly deserved to die!"

"Indeed, the Lei and Xie families have been rampant in Qingyang Town for a long time. I couldn't stand it anymore!"

"The Lin family's action to destroy the Lei and Xie families has eliminated two great scourges for Qingyang Town. We are all deeply grateful!"

"..."

Since the Lei and Xie families were already gone, they naturally didn't mind stepping on them to please the Lin family.

Afterward, Lin Zhentian exchanged pleasantries with everyone and distributed some of the less important industries of the Lei and Xie families to the forces that had been friendly with the Lin family, which earned him even more praise and compliments.

After seeing off the people from various forces, the entire Lin family became busy, and even Lin Yi couldn't slack off.

Originally, the Lin family's strength was inferior to even the Xie family's. Now, they had to take over the industries of both the Lei and Xie families simultaneously, which felt like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

Therefore, the Lin family was quite short-handed.

Lin Zhentian giving up some less important industries was not only to win people's hearts but also an important reason for the shortage of manpower.

In addition to the three generations of the Lin family working together, Lin Zhentian also offered generous conditions to recruit personnel.

Now that the Lin family was the sole dominant power in Qingyang Town, and the conditions they offered were very generous, they soon recruited many skilled individuals.

Of course, for the personnel arrangements in important positions, priority was definitely given to the Lin family's old members.

Despite this, Lin Yi and Lin Xiao were also extremely busy.

After half a month of hard work, the Lin family finally successfully absorbed the industries of the Lei and Xie families, and everything was on the right track.

On this day, Lin Zhentian summoned the Lin Ken brothers and Lin Yi to the meeting hall again.

"Tomorrow, I plan to transport another batch of Yang Yuan Stones to Yan City for sale. Previously, we sold them every three months, but this time, due to taking over the Lei and Xie families' industries, we've been delayed for half a month."

Lin Zhentian sat in the main seat, his face beaming with joy. "The Yang Yuan Stones are piling up at the manor and we can't use them. It's best to convert them into Yang Yuan Pills as soon as possible. Who will go this time?"

"Grandfather, I'll go," Lin Yi volunteered. He planned to go to Yan City again to purchase a batch of Spirit Medicine.

Lin Xiao said, "I'll go with Yi'er."

Lin Zhentian smiled, "Good, then the two of you, father and son, will go. With two Late Heaven Origin Realm experts leading the way, it will be absolutely foolproof."

Looking at his son and grandson, Lin Zhentian felt quite satisfied. Especially his grandson, Lin Yi, gave Lin Zhentian hope of returning to the clan.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhentian's expression suddenly turned serious as he looked at Lin Yi and said solemnly, "Yi'er, regarding the clan meeting of the Lin Clan, have you spoken to your father about it?"

Upon hearing Lin Zhentian mention the clan meeting, Lin Xiao's expression froze. The scene from the Lin Clan's meeting back then seemed to reappear before his eyes.

Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "Although my father hasn't explained in detail, I have a general understanding of the Lin Clan's clan meeting."

"There are about three years left until the Lin Clan's clan meeting. Now that the Lin family is completely stable, you will focus all your efforts on cultivation for the next three years," Lin Zhentian stared at Lin Yi, his eyes full of anticipation.

"With your talent, you should be able to break through to the Yuan Dan Stage in three years. With the strength of the Yuan Dan Stage, you will definitely be among the top ten at the Lin Clan's clan meeting, and then our family can return to the Lin Clan..."

Yuan Dan Stage in three years?

What a joke?

Lin Yi muttered in his heart, but said aloud, "Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely help you fulfill your wish of returning to the inner clan in three years."

As for avenging Lin Xiao, Lin Yi did not mention it. Some things didn't need to be said, and he didn't want to reopen Lin Xiao's old wounds.

"Good child..." Lin Zhentian stood up, walked to Lin Yi's side, patted his shoulder, and said nothing more.

Afterward, Lin Zhentian gave some more instructions regarding the newly acquired businesses before dismissing everyone.

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Yi and Lin Xiao headed towards the main gate of Ironwood Manor together.

"Dad, Brother Lin Yi, I want to go with you too!" Qing Tan hurried to catch up, calling out sweetly.

Qing Tan's cultivation had long since reached the Late Earth Yuan Stage, but due to the limitations of her Sect Demon Body, she was temporarily unable to break through further.

Following Lin Yi's advice, Qing Tan had stopped cultivating and was bored out of her mind. Now that she finally had a chance to go to Yan City for fun, she naturally didn't want to miss it.

Lin Xiao said, "We're going on official business, not for fun."

"Take me with you, please. I promise I won't cause any trouble," Qing Tan pleaded with Lin Xiao, then tugged on Lin Yi's arm and pouted, "Brother Lin Yi, can you put in a good word for me? Last time I went to Yan City, wasn't I very well-behaved and didn't cause any trouble?"

"Mhm, our Qing Tan is the most obedient," Lin Yi smiled, then looked at Lin Xiao. "Dad, let's take Qing Tan along. I'll keep an eye on her."

Lin Yi knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qing Tan would be heading to the Dark Temple in three years. He cherished the time he had left to spend with her.

"Remember, don't cause any trouble when we get to Yan City!" Lin Xiao heard this and no longer refused, cautioning Qing Tan.

"Mhm, mhm," Qing Tan's face lit up with joy. She winked at Lin Yi.

By the time Lin Yi and the other two reached the main gate of Ironwood Manor, the convoy was already assembled and ready to depart.

"Set off!"

Lin Xiao, along with Lin Yi and Qing Tan, mounted their horses and waved their hands, shouting.
