Chapter 88 Breakthrough

  A fiery shadow, like a blazing flame, dashed out of the dense forest, and Lin Dong, sitting on the tiger's back, heard the furious roar from behind, but couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

  Although he is still in the mid-term of Tianyuan, if Lin Dong were to exert his spiritual force, it would not be impossible to kill Xie Qian. However, his main task now is to protect Liu Yan and the others from reaching Tiewu Village safely, and he does not want to get entangled with them here. Otherwise, today would have been a day for the Xie family to taste what it means to suffer losses as heavy as blood.

  As Lin Dong's mind was turning with thoughts, Xiao Yan also rushed out of the dense forest. The light in front of him became much brighter. He raised his head and saw that not far away on a small hill, Liu Xian and others were standing there anxiously.

  "Lin Dong Young Master has returned!"

  Lu Ling's eyes were sharp and he immediately saw the fiery red figure rushing towards him. His face was filled with excitement as he shouted out loud.

  Upon hearing the cry, Liu Yan and others also hastily cast their eyes over there, and only after seeing that the young man was safe and sound did they finally let out a sigh of relief.

  "Let's go, Uncle Luo."

  Xiao Yan rushed up the small hill like a whirlwind, casually discarding the blood-stained iron sword in his hand, and smiled at Luo Ling.

  Luo Ling's gaze swept across Lin Dong, whose body was now covered in bloodstains. The small flame beneath him had a large mouth full of flesh and blood. Judging from his appearance, he had clearly gone through an extremely brutal battle. What shocked Luo Ling, however, was that despite having gone through such a fierce fight, Lin Dong seemed to be still full of energy, without showing any signs of weakness.

  "Lin Dong young master, where are the horses of the Xie family?" Luo Ling asked cautiously.

  "He's probably dead by now, so Xie Qian shouldn't dare to chase after us anymore." Lin Dong said casually.

  Upon hearing this, Luo Ling's face involuntarily twitched, and he finally understood why the other guards were so confident. It turned out that this young master of the Lin family had already reached a very high level of strength.

  Although it's unbelievable for someone of this age to have achieved such a feat, Luo Ling quickly accepted the fact that he was able to kill half of the Xie family's men under Xie Qian's nose, which is enough to demonstrate Lin Dong's incredible strength. Even someone as strong as Xie Qian would be powerless against him.

  "Mother, it's all right, let's return to Tiewu Village." Lin Dong smiled at Liu Yan and said.

  "Oh, you child." Looking at Lin Dong's blood-soaked appearance, Liu Yan's eyes turned red with heartache as she took a towel from the side and continuously wiped him down.

  Lin Dong let Liu Yan wipe the bloodstains for him, then waved his hand and led the team to rush towards Tie Mu Village. About two hours later, Tie Mu Village appeared at the end of their line of sight.

  On the wall of Tie Mu Village, Lin Xiao and others had been waiting anxiously since Lin Dong left with his men. However, this anxiety finally subsided when they saw a group of familiar people and horses appearing in the distance.

  "The later waves push the earlier waves, this kid is really something...". Looking at that fiery red figure rapidly approaching, Lin Meng couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. As for Xie Qian's strength, they were clearer than anyone else, yet Lin Dong still managed to give them another surprise.

  Under Lin Dong's leadership, the last members of the Lin family successfully entered the Ironwood Manor, and upon hearing the cheers from all around, Lin Dong couldn't help but nod his head in satisfaction.

  "Mother!"

  Lin Xiaofei quickly jumped down from the wall and rushed into the arms of the woman who was walking with Liu Yan, tears streaming out continuously. This time, she had received quite a shock.

  "Lin Dong, thank you."

  Lin Xia leaned against her mother's womb for a while, then turned around and couldn't help but gently hugged Lin Dong, saying in a low voice.

  "A family, what's the need for courtesy?" Lin Dong smiled and said.

  "Alright, kid, nothing's wrong, right?" Lin Xiao and the others also gathered around, their eyes somewhat tense as they looked at Lin Dong who was covered in blood.

  Looking at Lin Xiao and their tense gazes, Lin Dong smiled and shook his head.

  Lin Xiao and his friends were also relieved when they saw nothing was wrong with Lin Xiao.

  "Xie Qian this son of a bitch, in the future, I will definitely settle accounts with them!" Lin Meng said with some viciousness.

  "As long as Father breaks through smoothly, we won't have to be afraid of the Lei and Xie families anymore. At that time, our Lin family will still have the opportunity to enter Yan City, and the development will be far beyond what it is now." Lin Xiao said.

  "Hmm, during this period of time, I will dispatch people to closely monitor every move made by both the Lei and Xie families."

  Lincoln also nodded and then closed the door tightly again, ordering the whole village to enter a state of alert, and then let this group of family members enter the village to rest well.

  …

  After withdrawing all his family members back to the Lin Manor, the Lin Family chose to close off their manor and had no further contact with the Lei and Xie Families.

  As for the Lin family's actions, the Lei family also chose to remain silent and did not join forces as some people had expected. This somewhat strange scene left everyone bewildered. After all, it is now common knowledge that the Lin and Lei families are like fire and water, and given the Lei family's temperament, they would never forgive so easily...

  Although both sides' actions were somewhat suspicious, some people could still feel the tense atmosphere between them. Sensitive people understood that a real confrontation between the two was only a matter of time.

  …

  Under this siege, another month passed in the blink of an eye.

  Behind the steep rock on the back mountain of Tie Mu Village, Lin Dong sat cross-legged. From here, he could overlook the entire Tie Mu Village. During this period, due to concerns that Lin Zhen Tian's closed-door meditation would be disturbed, even he was secretly taking action, monitoring the surroundings of Tie Mu Village.

  However, what made him a little relieved and puzzled was that the imagined attack did not appear. The two families of Lei and Xie were even more silent than Lin's family during this period.

  "What are these guys up to?" Lin Dong muttered softly, the Lei and Xie families now regarded the Lin family as a thorn in their side, they absolutely wouldn't let them off so easily, if it wasn't that, then they were probably brewing something.

  "Wishing to destroy my Lin family? It's not that easy."

  Lin Dong's low voice was accompanied by a cold smile, and in his eyes, there flickered some strange light. In this month, his own Yuan force cultivation had not yet shown any signs of breakthrough, but as for his control over spiritual power, he was becoming more and more skilled. Furthermore, the successful condensation of his Natal Spirit Mark had also strengthened his spiritual power.

  Now, every time he fully mobilizes the spiritual power in Mud Ball Palace, his heart is filled with an extremely strong and unyielding confidence. This confidence makes Lin Dong feel that even a late-stage Tian Yuan realm expert would be unable to rival him.

  "I wonder if I can fight against a true Yuan Dan master with my current spiritual power?"

  Lin's eyes flashed, and his eyes suddenly became much hotter. This kind of thing, if it were in the past, might not even dare to think about it, but as he increasingly understood the strength of his own spiritual power, the awe he had for Yuan Dan realm masters also faded a lot.

  His heart was slightly stirred by this thought, but soon Lin Dong came to his senses, a strong man in the Yuan Dan realm wasn't someone you could easily find, wanting to spar with one was also an opportunity that didn't exist.

  "It seems like there's no problem today."

  He stood up from the rock, Lin Dong's eyes gazed into the distance for a moment before he smiled and moved his body to return to the villa. However, just as his body had barely moved, his keen senses made his body immediately come to a halt, his eyes suddenly turning towards a quiet room deep within the Ironwood Villa, where a powerful and suffocating Yuan force fluctuation suddenly burst out!

  "What a powerful fluctuation of yuan energy..."

  Looking at the Yuan force vortex that had formed in mid-air deep within the Ironwood Estate, Lin Dong also couldn't help but take a deep breath. Immediately after, his eyes were filled with wild joy. Lin Dong, had finally successfully broken through!
