Chapter 114 Shocked the Crowd: The Rapid Development of the Lin Family

Chapter 114 Shocked the Crowd: The Rapid Development of the Lin Family 

Wei Tong was dead.

As they looked at the central arena, everyone understood that this figure, the Blood Cloak Sect's sect master, who had some reputation in Flame City, had indeed fallen at the hands of Lin Yan.

Outside the arena, many spectators from various fighting arenas were still in a daze. They stood still, dumbfounded, like statues, mouths agape and unable to close.

A gentle breeze blew, causing a soft "whoosh" in the arena. As for Lin Yan on the platform, after hearing the referee's response, he nodded faintly, popped a few return qi pills into his mouth, then hurried towards the direction of the Lin family members.

At this point, the spectators who were initially astonished by the result gradually began to recover. However, as they watched Lin Yan walking slowly towards them, an expression of fear involuntarily crept into their eyes.

After all, the person Lin Yan had just defeated was none other than Wei Tong, the sect master of the Blood Cloak Sect.

Although Wei Tong was not considered a top expert in Flame City, his strength at the stage of early Yuan Dan realm was somewhat renowned within the city.

However, today, this Wei Tong was killed on the spot by Lin Yan, even after taking a pill that could enhance his cultivation during battle and using the "Blood Reversal Technique," indicating the high level of Lin Yan's kill.

Thinking of this, many spectators in the arena couldn't help but regard Lin Yan with even greater trepidation.

After all, Lin Yan had displayed such terrifying strength at the early stage of the Yuan Dan realm. If he were to further breakthrough to the mid or late stage of the Yuan Dan realm, or even reach the peak, how formidable would he become? Would he become the number one expert in Flame City?

They were really afraid to think about it.

"What martial technique did Yan'er just use?"

"Do you know, Dong'er?"

On the other side, Lin Zhentian and the others were completely dumbfounded.

Although they had realized that the move Lin Yan might use before he used the Flame Splitting Wave Ruler, at that time, Lin Yan hadn't used it yet. So, for Lin Zhentian and the others, they were shocked, but not as exaggerated as now.

But now that they had witnessed the power of the technique, they were truly dumbfounded.

Lin Zhentian and the others couldn't understand where Lin Yan had obtained such a powerful martial technique in just two months, so they were all wide-eyed and unable to close their mouths, unable to help but ask Lin Dong beside them.

"Grandpa, this is not Brother Yan's real trump card."

"Brother Yan still has more powerful means."

But Lin Dong smiled and shook his head.

Having always followed Lin Yan, he naturally knew that Lin Yan had even more powerful means.

Not to mention, the mysterious fire lotus in Lin Yan's hand that day, the power contained within it made Lin Dong feel more terrifying than the move Lin Yan had just used.

So at this moment, Lin Dong just smiled mysteriously and said to Lin Zhentian and the others.

"Even more powerful?"

"Is Yan'er already so powerful?"

Hearing Lin Dong's explanation, Lin Zhentian and the others felt dumbfounded again.

After all, from their point of view, the move Lin Yan had just used was already terrifying.

I didn't expect Lin Dong to say that it was even more terrifying now?

This really made everyone feel absurd.

After staring blankly for a while, Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask Lin Dong again, "So, Dong'er, what about you?"

"Have you learned this martial technique too?"

Seeing Lin Dong, who was talking so confidently, Lin Xiao subconsciously thought that Lin Dong also possessed such means.

But Lin Dong didn't master it.

Therefore, after hearing Lin Xiao's question, Lin Dong just scratched his head helplessly, then awkwardly smiled and said, "No."

"I'm not as abnormal as Brother Yan."

"Compared to Brother Yan, I'm still far behind."

Lin Dong honestly replied.

As for Lin Xiao and the others on the side, after hearing Lin Dong's reply, they didn't feel dissatisfied.

After all, they all believed that Lin Yan today could no longer be measured from the perspective of a normal person.

So, it was normal for Lin Dong not to be as abnormal as Lin Yan.

Continuing to look forward, as they watched Lin Yan approaching, the smiles on their faces became even stronger.

"President Xia, can you withstand the move Brother Yan just used?"

On the other side, Xuan Su and Xia Wanjin couldn't help but discuss the move Lin Yan had just used.

Although Xuan Su also had the strength of early Yuan Dan realm, she felt that she couldn't withstand the move just now. So at this moment, she asked Xia Wanjin with some doubt.

"It's hard to say, but one thing is certain: even if I can withstand it, it won't be easy."

Xia Wanjin could only smile bitterly. He shook his head, and when he talked about Lin Yan again, there was a hint of unusual color in his eyes.

"I never expected that Lin Yan would hide so deeply."

"I can almost conclude now that he has no opponents under the mid Yuan Dan realm."

"After all, Wei Tong, in the early Yuan Dan realm, was already considered quite good. Moreover, he had just taken the Blood Revival Pill and used the Blood Reversal Technique. The general early Yuan Dan realm wouldn't be able to compare with him in his current state."

"Yet, even so, he was killed by Lin Yan with just one move."

"This is enough to show how terrifying Lin Yan's strength is."

Xia Wanjin said with emotion.

Xuan Su nodded in agreement. She quickly said, "Fortunately, we formed a good relationship with Brother Yan a long time ago. This investment is very worthwhile."

Xia Wanjin also nodded in agreement. Then, he looked at Yue Shan on the other side again, and a strong sense of schadenfreude emerged in his eyes, "However, Yue Shan over there must be feeling uncomfortable now."

"At this point, he should be almost furious, right?"

Xuan Su smiled and looked towards Yue Shan on the other side.

Sure enough, she found that Yue Shan's face had become extremely cold.

He refrained from getting angry. After all, both parties had already signed a disclaimer before participating in the life-and-death duel, so if he were to get angry now, it would seem like he couldn't handle losing.

"Let's go!" Yue Shan snorted coldly and quickly led his people away.

Shortly after, Lin Yan descended from the platform and returned to the side of the Lin family. He exchanged a few words with everyone before feeling a wave of weakness in his body. He then walked towards Xia Wanjin, Master Yan, and others, gesturing with a hand, "President Xia, Master Yan, thank you both for helping me handle the situation today."

"But after going through such a big battle just now, I'm indeed feeling a bit weak. Please forgive me for not accompanying you further."

Xia Wanjin and Master Yan naturally didn't dare to find fault with Lin Yan. Not only had his displayed strength already elevated his position in their hearts, but his manners at this moment were also impeccable.

Therefore, Xia Wanjin and Master Yan smiled and replied, "Young friend, no need to worry, just go and rest."

"We'll take care of some things for you."

Lin Yan didn't linger any longer after hearing this. He led the Lin family directly back to their residence and promptly went to sleep.

After sleeping for half a day, he woke up feeling refreshed. Upon going outside, he found that Xuan Su, Xia Wanjin, and Xia Zhilan were already at the mansion, chatting happily with Lin Zhentian and others. During their conversation, Lin Yan learned that Xia Wanjin had already mobilized his connections to secure a large piece of land in Flame City for the Lin family's development and relocation in the future.

Lin Yan naturally was very pleased with this arrangement. After all, while Qingyang Town was suitable for living, compared to Flame City, its developmental opportunities were quite limited. Since Lin Yan had already made a name for himself in Flame City, relocating there for the Lin family's development would be much better.

"Thanks a lot for President Xia's help."

Lin Yan readily accepted Xia Wanjin's goodwill and thanked him with a smile.

"Young friend Lin Yan, there's no need to thank me. You're a benefactor of our Wanjing Merchant Guild."

"So, since the Lin family has just arrived, it's only right for the Wanjing Merchant Guild to help."

Xia Wanjin replied with a smile. However, he couldn't help feeling extremely pleased when he noticed that Lin Yan's attitude towards him had improved slightly after completing this task. He silently praised himself for a job well done.

After chatting for a while longer at the mansion, Xia Wanjin soon left. His schedule was busy, and his visit today was a brief one. He still had many matters to attend to.

Lin Yan and the others bid him farewell and left shortly after. Then, they began the Lin family's relocation plan.

Of course, Lin Yan didn't need to personally oversee this matter. For the Lin family now, Lin Yan was their top powerhouse, and the relationship between the Lin family and the Wanjing Merchant Guild was maintained solely because of Lin Yan.

Therefore, nothing was more important than Lin Yan's affairs. Whether he was practicing or busy with personal matters, no one would disturb him, so Lin Yan's life during this time was not greatly affected.

However, Lin Zhentian and the others acted quickly.

In just over half a month, they not only successfully completed the relocation of the family but also saw a drastic change in the family's strength. They recruited more than ten high-level Tianyuan realm experts and more than twenty Dìyuán realm experts.

Now, with the strengthened comprehensive strength of the Lin family, they were no weaker than the Blood Cloth Sect. After all, in terms of top combat power, Lin Yan, Lin Dong, and Lin Zhentian could crush the Blood Cloth Sect. Moreover, with many Dìyuán and Tianyuan realm warriors in the Lin family now, they could be considered a formidable force in Flame City.

Today, Lin Yan and Lin Dong moved back to the Lin family's residence.

Although Lin Yan hadn't been away from the Lin family for too long, his actions during this short time had caused quite a stir throughout the entire Lin family.

So, for many Lin family disciples, Lin Yan and Lin Dong were both highly respected figures. Naturally, when the two returned, they were warmly welcomed by everyone.

"Lin Hong, Lin Shan, you're here too."

Among the welcoming crowd, Lin Yan noticed two familiar faces.

However, for Lin Hong and Lin Shan, who were now in awe of Lin Yan, their feelings towards him were filled with endless respect. After all, when the gap in strength between the two sides reached a certain level, the weaker party could only look up to the stronger one.

"Brother Lin Yan, Grandpa and the others are waiting for you in the hall."

Lin Hong respectfully informed Lin Yan.

Lin Yan nodded at Lin Hong's words and then led Lin Dong to the hall to meet Lin Zhentian.

"Yan'er, you're back!"

"Haha! Great! Great! Great!"

Lin Zhentian couldn't stop laughing when he saw Lin Yan return.

After all, everything that had happened recently was something Lin Zhentian had never dared to imagine before. But he had truly acquired all of it, and Lin Zhentian was extremely grateful to Lin Yan, the biggest contributor.

Lin Yan smiled in response, and the two of them chatted for a while. Lin Zhentian also informed Lin Yan about the recent changes in the Lin family.

The changes in territory didn't need much explanation. Xia Wanjin had been very diligent in selecting a territory for them, making the Lin family's living conditions very comfortable.

The most significant change was the enhancement of the Lin family disciples' strength. This was mainly due to the Three Yang Technique brought by Lin Yan and the large number of Yang Element Pills.

With the help of these two things, the strength of the Lin family disciples had greatly increased. For example, Lin Xia had already reached the late Dìyuán realm, while disciples like Lin Xiao and Lin Ken had successfully reached the late Tianyuan realm, just one step away from the Small Origin Dan realm.

Therefore, when Lin Zhentian mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but praise Lin Yan endlessly.

"Yan'er, it's not grandpa boasting about you."

"We in the Lin family are truly fortunate to have you!"

Lin Yan smiled and replied, "Grandpa is too kind. As a member of the Lin family, these are things I should do. Besides, actually, Lin Dong also deserves credit."

Lin Zhentian's smile became even brighter. This was what he liked most about Lin Yan. Despite his significant contributions, he never boasted. Moreover, he knew how to share the credit with others.

This kind of character was rare, after all. While geniuses were abundant, most of them were unruly and tended to look down on others because of their exceptional talents, making many families feel troubled.

But Lin Yan had never had such a bad habit, so Lin Zhentian admired this quality of his the most.

"Brother Lin Yan, you don't need to be modest."

"I did contribute, but it was minor. The main credit still goes to you."

Lin Dong shook his head with a smile in response.

Everyone laughed heartily at this, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

However, at this moment, a Lin family disciple walked in and said to Lin Yan, "Brother Lin Yan, Master Yan seems to have something to discuss with you. He sent someone to ask you and Brother Lin Dong to go over."
