While Liu Changxu and his mother, Lin Yulian, chatted with his maternal grandparents, his father, Liu Shihao, led the Liu Household cultivators to the Lin Household's lineage affairs hall under the guidance of its patriarch.
As Liu Shihao exchanged pleasantries with the Lin Household patriarch, Lin Ruhai, a Hundred-Mile Transmission Talisman brought him shocking news: the Zhang Household of Star-Iron Mountain was under attack by a pack of Black Mountain Bears. What shocked him most was that one of them was a second-tier lower-grade Demon Beast.
According to the Zhang Household elder who had come from Star-Iron Mountain seeking aid, the pack numbered only a little over a hundred, but the second-tier Black Mountain Bear was far too powerful for the Zhang Household to handle. Without timely reinforcements, they would not hold out much longer.
After relaying the news to Lin Ruhai, Liu Shihao said, "Eldest Uncle, the Zhang Household of Star-Iron Mountain is being attacked by a pack of Black Mountain Bears, including a second-tier one. Their situation is extremely dangerous. I'm going to lead our people there immediately. Every minute we delay puts them in greater danger!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruhai's joy at driving back the Demon Beasts vanished at once. Although they had repelled this attack, the danger facing the Lin Household had not passed.
Liu Shihao said, "Eldest Uncle, we must leave. Before we go, I think it would be best for the Lin Household to move its members to Peach Blossom Mountain for now. Otherwise, if our Liu Household on Peach Blossom Mountain also comes under attack and the Demon Beasts return here, we won't be able to look after you. Of course, that's only my suggestion. The decision is yours."
With that, Liu Shihao bade Lin Ruhai farewell and left!
