Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Boiling Qingyang Town, Lin Zhentian's Dumbfounded Expression
At this moment, inside a inn in Qingyang Town, a constant stream of customers was coming and going. However, what was surprising was that countless dining tables were filled with customers discussing roughly the same topic!
"Old Third, have you heard?"
"Yesterday! Our Lei Family from Qingyang Town! It seems they directly mobilized and attacked Lin Family's Ironwood Manor! Moreover, it was led by the Lei Family Patriarch!"
"I heard that the Lei Family Patriarch, Lei Bao, recently successfully broke through to a higher realm, reaching the Small Yuan Dan Stage! And I heard that Lin Family Patriarch Lin Zhentian is in seclusion, so he immediately planned to take advantage of this and led a large group of people to attack Lin Family."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"Doesn't that mean Lin Family is done for? The Patriarch is still in seclusion, and Lei Bao even advanced to the Small Yuan Dan Stage. Isn't Lin Family about to be taken down by the Lei Family?"
"Yes, I thought the same at first."
"But who knew that the Lin Family had someone like Lin Yan!"
"Oh? Lin Yan?"
"The young man who won against Lei Li with Thunder Power during the hunting battle?"
"Yes! That's him!"
"What's the matter with him? If I remember correctly, he was only at the Earth Yuan Stage, right? Would he have a chance to participate in such a big battle?"
"How could that be! I heard that Lin Yan has already broken through to the Yuan Dan Stage! And during yesterday's battle, he even single-handedly killed the Lei Family Patriarch, Lei Bao!"
"Do you know that Lei Bao was a veteran powerhouse of the Lei Family? I didn't expect him to die by Lin Yan's hands! Now that the Xie Family has been wiped out and Lei Bao is dead, with Lin Yan emerging in the Lin Family, it seems that in the future, the Qingyang Town will be dominated by the Lin Family..."
"So formidable? Did Lin Yan cultivate so quickly? Is he really a person? He's so young, and he's already at the Yuan Dan Stage?"
"That's right, truly a monster!"
Similar conversations continued in various corners of Qingyang Town.
Once the news spread, the entire Lin Family gained fame.
Of course, the most famous was Lin Yan, after all, accomplishing such feats at his age was truly remarkable in the small Qingyang Town.
Meanwhile, in another place.
The news surprised Wu Yun, who hadn't realized how widespread his actions had become. He had intended to have a meal at an inn, but upon sitting down, he overheard numerous conversations around him.
After some inquiry, he learned the details of the incident and was left wide-eyed with amazement.
He hurried back to the Wild Blade Martial Academy, then headed straight for the academy head, Luo Cheng.
"Academy Head, something big has happened!"
Wu Yun rushed into the academy.
Luo Cheng, who was leisurely drinking tea, raised an eyebrow upon seeing Wu Yun's impatience and couldn't help but frown.
He reproached, "Wu Yun, how did I teach you in the past? Don't rush things, treat everything calmly and composedly. Look at yourself now!"
Wu Yun scratched his head in embarrassment, calming down at Luo Cheng's words.
Luo Cheng was slightly satisfied with this response and sighed in relief. Then, he was ready to have some tea when he asked Wu Yun, "Alright, what happened?"
"Academy Head, Lei Bao broke through to the Yuan Dan Stage, but he was killed by Lin Yan!"
Wu Yun quickly told Luo Cheng.
Pfft!
Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng's expression froze, and he directly spat out the tea he had been sipping. His teacup slipped from his hand and fell to the ground due to his lack of grip, and his usually composed demeanor was nowhere to be found.
He was in a daze for quite a while before regaining his senses, then hastily inquired, "What? Quickly tell me the details!"
Wu Yun's lips twitched upon hearing this, thinking that the academy head didn't seem as composed as usual. However, he didn't dare to voice these thoughts because doing so would undoubtedly invite punishment.
So, after hearing Luo Cheng's request, he could only honestly recount the sequence of events.
After listening to the entire story, Luo Cheng remained stunned for quite a while.
After a long time, he finally fully comprehended the situation and couldn't help but express his astonishment.
"Lin Family is fortunate!"
"To have Lin Yan, it truly is a blessing cultivated through three generations!"
Luo Cheng couldn't help but exclaim.
Meanwhile, on the side, Wu Yun muttered helplessly, "But how did Lin Yan cultivate so quickly..."
"Who would have thought he would advance to the Yuan Dan Stage so quickly? What kind of monstrous talent is this?"
"At first, he was only at the Earth Yuan Stage..."
Luo Cheng let out a sigh.
"This! This is a genius!"
"Mark my words, Wu Yun."
"This Lin Yan is not ordinary; he will certainly achieve great things in the future..."
"I just don't know if Lin Family's attitude towards us will change in the future."
"After all, with Lin Yan in the Lin Family now, they've become incredibly powerful."
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng grew somewhat worried. He sighed and looked out of the window, lost in thought.
...
Meanwhile, at the Lin Family's residence.
Lin Yan was oblivious to the fact that his deeds were already widely known throughout the town.
He continued his cultivation as usual and suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation of energy coming from Lin Zhentian's residence.
Raising an eyebrow, Lin Yan smiled. "It seems Grandfather has successfully broken through."
"I should go take a look."
He quickly left his place and headed towards the main hall.
In the main hall
.
Having just emerged from seclusion, Lin Zhentian was inquiring Lin Xiao and others about the recent events. Although he was in seclusion when the Lei Family attacked, the commotion caused by it was significant enough for him to sense.
Now that he had successfully broken through, he naturally wanted to know what had happened during these few days.
"Father, you're finally out of seclusion!"
"Lei Family is no more!"
Lin Xiao was excited as he spoke to Lin Zhentian.
Then he proceeded to detail the events of the past few days, providing Lin Zhentian with all the information.
Lin Zhentian listened with eyes wide open, dumbfounded.
Although he had always known Lin Yan's strength was impressive, he hadn't anticipated that during his own breakthrough, Lin Yan would help him eliminate a longstanding enemy!
Lei Bao, the old dog who had been his rival for countless years, had unexpectedly been killed by Lin Yan.
This turn of events was beyond Lin Zhentian's expectations.
And it also filled him with joy.
"Hahaha! Excellent! Excellent!"
"Truly my good grandson!"
Lin Zhentian laughed heartily, his voice booming like thunder.
At this moment, Lin Yan arrived at the scene.
"Good grandson, you're here!"
"This time, you've truly made a great contribution to our Lin Family!"
Seeing Lin Yan arrive at the scene, Lin Zhentian was even happier, unable to contain his smile. He immediately stepped forward, patting him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and his gaze was filled with admiration.
"Quickly, tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"
"As long as Grandfather can make it happen, I'll give you anything you want!"
