Martial Arts School Conflict

"I'm Jiang Lei, Master of the Eagle Martial Arts School. Many thanks to this young master for saving our lives."

The middle-aged man stared blankly for a moment at Lin Langtian, who had seemed to descend from the heavens and crushed two Leopard Crocodile Kings to death in a single blow. Then he hurried forward and cupped his hands.

With the deaths of the two Leopard Crocodile Kings, the hundred Demonic Beasts around them completely collapsed. They immediately fled in disarray, and within mere minutes, every last Demonic Beast had escaped.

The members of the Eagle Martial Arts School stared wide-eyed at the Green Shirt Youth before them.

At such a young age, he could instantly kill Shaping Realm Demonic Beasts. Could he be one of the Great Yan Dynasty's foremost Geniuses?

"Mhm." Lin Langtian leaped down from the Leopard Crocodile King and said with a light smile, "No need to be so courteous, brother. My name is Lin Tian. I got lost here—could you give me a lift?"

The name Lin Langtian was far too famous. Since he was traveling outside, he did not want to draw too much attention, so he chose a different name.

As for this group before him, Lin Langtian was not unfamiliar with them after thinking it over. In the original timeline, Lin Dong seemed to have met them by chance, and their character was not bad. That was why Lin Langtian had chosen to help them.

"You saved our lives, young master. Such a small matter is naturally no problem." At this moment, the beautiful woman also walked over while holding the Little Girl's hand. Her eyes swept over Lin Langtian, and she gave him a dazzling smile.

"Big Sister, how could someone as amazing as Big Brother get lost?" The exquisitely adorable Little Girl secretly said from the side.

Lin Langtian choked at that. He had never been to this Misty Forest before, and even his mental power had been cut off. Having let his guard down, he had been unable to tell which direction was which.

The beautiful woman shot the Little Girl a glare and said softly, "Yinyin, if you do not know how to speak, then do not speak. This young master is from elsewhere, so it is normal for him to get lost in the Misty Forest."

The middle-aged man also gave an embarrassed smile and cupped his hands at Lin Langtian. "Young master, this is my eldest daughter, Jiang Xue, and this is my younger daughter, Jiang Yinyin.

"Yinyin is thoughtless. I hope you will forgive her. As for leading the way, you saved my entire martial arts school. Leave this small matter to me."

"Thank you, brother. Just call me Lin Tian from now on."

Lin Langtian smiled. This was the first group he had encountered in the past few days, so naturally, he would not easily let them go. He truly did not want to stay in this damned place any longer.

Having found someone to lead the way, Lin Langtian finally relaxed completely. He only needed to follow this large group to leave the irritating Misty Forest.

Sitting in the most luxurious carriage in the convoy, Lin Langtian ignored the various astonished looks cast his way by the Eagle Martial Arts School brothers around him.

He had long grown accustomed to such reverent and admiring gazes back in the Lin Clan.

"Big Brother, it was incredible how you killed that Leopard Crocodile King with one punch! You're so handsome too, nothing like those useless show-offs in the martial arts school."

At the side, little Yinyin stared at Lin Langtian with immense admiration in her large eyes, which seemed to be sparkling with stars.

"Hehe, you've already said that dozens of times..." Lin Langtian gently rubbed the Little Girl's head and smiled.

"Yinyin, do not disturb Big Brother while he rests." A graceful figure walked over slowly. Jiang Xue reached out with her jade-like hand and tapped little Yinyin on the head, a trace of reproach in her voice.

Lin Langtian looked up. After the fierce battle during the day, Jiang Xue's long hair was slightly disheveled, and traces of blood stained the fair skin exposed beneath her clothes. Yet she did not look bedraggled at all. Instead, she possessed an exceptionally unique charm.

Perhaps because he had saved the Eagle Martial Arts School, this seemingly proud woman no longer wore the usual coldness she showed toward the martial arts school disciples on her lovely, delicate face. There was more of a faint gentleness instead.

With light brows and subtle makeup, she was not as breathtakingly beautiful as Ling Qingzhu, but she had an alluring charm uniquely her own.

Their gazes met briefly. Seeing Lin Langtian's handsome face, Jiang Xue froze, then quickly looked away. A faint blush appeared on her pretty face as she lowered her head slightly and retreated two steps.

"Hehe, Young Master Lin Tian, we only need one more day to leave the Misty Forest." Up ahead, Jiang Lei rode his horse over beside the carriage and smiled at Lin Langtian.

A day passed in an instant. When the warm sunlight once again pierced through the mist and fell upon their bodies, the exhausted members of the Eagle Martial Arts School immediately burst into cheers as though they had survived a calamity.

Lin Langtian stood atop the carriage, feeling the warmth of sunlight on his body, a smile appearing on his face as well.

He gazed into the distance. He had finally arrived in the Great Desolate Commandery.

"Young Master Lin Tian, why not return to Great Eagle City with us first? You have just arrived, so I think it would be best for you to rest and recuperate there."

Having made it out of the Misty Forest, Jiang Lei was clearly in high spirits. After smiling, he turned to speak to Lin Langtian in the carriage.

Lin Langtian pondered briefly before nodding.

He had come to capture the Ancient Dragon Ape's demon spirit, but it would not run away. He could first rest in Great Eagle City and recover his strength.

Seeing Lin Langtian nod, Jiang Lei was clearly quite excited. After allowing everyone to rest properly for a while, he set off again. The convoy, laden with its spoils, headed toward Great Eagle City.

Great Eagle City lay in the northeastern part of the Great Desolate Commandery. It was somewhat close to the border, but that did not hinder its prosperity.

Although a city like this could not compare with Lin City, it was still considered middle-tier within the Great Yan Dynasty.

By the time the convoy arrived at Great Eagle City, it was already close to evening. Lin Langtian looked at the imposing city before him and nodded.

Under Lin Langtian's gaze, the convoy slowly entered the city.

However, just as the convoy was about to enter the city center, Lin Langtian noticed that it had slowed down. He raised his head and immediately saw a group of people approaching from not far ahead.

A martial arts school emblem was displayed on their chests, embroidered with a blood-red vulture.

"Blood Vulture Martial Arts School." Jiang Lei's face immediately darkened when he saw them.

"Hehe, so it is everyone from the Eagle Martial Arts School. What a coincidence. I thought you would not make it out of the Misty Forest."

At the front of the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School group, a middle-aged man sat astride a horse. He was lean, dressed in thin clothes, and had deeply sunken eyes. Though a faint smile hung at the corners of his mouth, his eyes were exceedingly gloomy.

Lin Langtian stood and watched the two martial arts schools, their tension ready to erupt. He raised a brow, then shook his head.

Conflicts arose everywhere he went. Was he getting the protagonist treatment too?
