Chapter 92: The Plans of the Lei and Xie Families

  In the Lei family's large courtyard, there is a spacious hall as wide as a square. At this moment, the hall is filled with an unusual commotion, and the endless stream of people shows the excitement and joy of the place.

  Lin Zhen Tian and his group walked straight into the great hall, then under many astonished gazes, they found a spot for themselves and sat down calmly.

  In the hall, many eyes were scanning the Lin family members, but no one took the initiative to come forward and greet them. At this time, the two families of Lei and Xie were in a strong position, while the Lin family was their opponent. Whoever got along with them would offend the two families of Lei and Xie, which was not worth it in their opinion.

  And that's why the area where the Lin family was sitting became much emptier, with many people deliberately avoiding them.

  For this situation, Lin Zhen Tian actually seemed quite calm and didn't feel too surprised.

  As time passed, the hall became increasingly lively. Many forces from Qingyang Town and within a hundred miles arrived one after another and took their seats separately.

  Among these forces, there are some that also possess considerable strength. Although they still have a gap compared to the Lin family, if they were to unite, it would be a rather powerful force that no one dares to underestimate lightly.

  Not long after the momentum reached halfway through the scene, there was another commotion at the entrance of the hall, and then a group of people walked in directly.

  "The Mad Blade Dojo has also arrived."

  As they gazed at the group of people entering the hall, a whispering murmur also spread out.

  Listening to these voices, Lin Dong also turned his head and indeed saw the familiar figure of Luo Cheng. Behind Luo Cheng, he also saw Wu Yun, whom he had not seen for a long time.

  After entering the hall, Luo Cheng's eyes scanned and stopped at the position of the Lin family. The face with several knife scars also brought up a smile that was a bit frightening. Then, accompanied by some astonished gazes, he stopped in front of the Lin family.

  "Old Master Lin, it seems that your body is still robust." Luo Cheng bowed his hands to Lin Zhen Tian, and his gaze swept across the latter's body, causing a slight shiver in his heart. From Lin Zhen Tian's body, he indeed felt a subtle yet palpable oppressive aura, a feeling he had never experienced before. It seemed that what the Lin family said was true - Lin Zhen Tian had successfully broken through to the Small Yuan Dan realm.

  "Haha, Luo Guanzhu is also quite impressive." Lin Zhentian also smiled and said.

  While chatting with Lin Zhen Tian in Luo City, Wu Yun also leaned in close to Lin Dong and sized him up for a good while before saying in a low voice, "Hey, I heard from the pavilion master that you seemed to have given Lei's family Lei Xing..." At the end of his sentence, Wu Yun made a slicing motion at his neck.

  Lin Dong smiled and nodded casually.

  "What the...! You're too strong, aren't you?!" Seeing Lin Dong nodding, Wu Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes. After a period of extremely arduous training, he had only just reached the middle stage of the Earth Yuan realm. He thought this speed was already quite fast, but unexpectedly, Lin Dong was now able to kill Heavenly Yuan realm experts."

  Seeing his depressed look, Lin Dong also smiled and then changed the subject.

  Luocheng and Lin Zhen Tian were chatting and laughing together, then pulled Wu Yun over to sit down in the empty seat next to them.

  After Luo Cheng and the others sat down, the noise in the hall also weakened a bit. Later, a commotion came from the front door of the hall, and a black-gray leopard with a smile on his face led a large group of people from the Lei and Xie families into the hall.

  It has to be said that Lei Bao in Qingyang Town indeed has some prestige, so when he appears, many forces are busy getting up and saying all kinds of congratulatory words.

  With such a gathering of stars and moon, Lei Bao was obviously extremely satisfied, the wrinkles on his face were all blooming like chrysanthemums.

  Behind Lei Bao, Xie Qian and some core members of the two families also followed with a smile.

  His gaze, which had been moving, was immediately fixed on Lei Bao as soon as he appeared. Then, his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly, and for some reason, he always felt that the current Lei Bao seemed to have some differences from before.

  When Lin Dong frowned, Lei Bao and Xie Qian also passed by the seat where Lin's family was sitting. For a moment, the hall fell silent again, and all eyes were focused on this side.

  Lin Zhentian sat calmly and steadily, his eyes fixed on the table, as if he hadn't seen Lei Bao and the others at all, nor did he show any sign of getting up to congratulate them.

  Lin Zhentian was like this, and Lin Xiao and the others naturally followed suit, as if they had all suddenly become blind.

  When they saw this scene, the smile on Lei Bao's face faded a bit, and the people from both the Lei and Xie families also showed a chill in their eyes. The atmosphere suddenly became a bit strange.

  This strange atmosphere didn't last long, as Lei Bao glanced at Lin Zhen Tian and the others with a faint gaze, then directly led his men to brush past them, without bursting into conflict as others had expected.

  Both sides chose to ignore each other, and many people in the hall couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret. However, they were also quite surprised by the Lin family's brazen move, which didn't give the Lei and Xie families any face. After all, there was still a significant gap between the Lin family's strength and that of these two families.

  Leopard sat down in the central seat in the hall, then laughed loudly: "Today is a great day for both the Lei and Xie families to celebrate, thank you all for coming, I, Leopard, would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude. Today is a celebration for young people, so let's not waste too much time on idle chatter, let's get started with the grand wedding!"

  Lin Dong yawned, he wasn't interested in the so-called grand wedding, he just wanted to know what the two families were trying to do by making such a big fuss. If it was just an announcement of their engagement, there was no need for all this.

  The following steps seemed very dull, and as the pseudo protagonists, Lei Li and Xie Yingying, first followed the rules to pay respects to their elders, then under the leadership of their respective elders, they dealt with the guests from all sides in the field.

  Although the prestige of both families is not weak, those present are some people with a head and face in Qingyang Town. For the wedding of two young people, they really can't muster up any interest, so many people keep a cold eye on them. They all understand that this time, with such a big fanfare, the Lei and Xie families will not just be for this wedding banquet.

  In this seemingly lively but somewhat strange atmosphere, Lei Li and Xie Yingying also retreated, so the eyes in the field were cast towards Leibao with a smile on his face.

  It seems that he also knew that he had become the focus of attention again, and Lei Bao smiled lightly, finishing a cup of wine in his hand. Then he stood up and said loudly: "Today, I invited you all to come here for two reasons. One is to celebrate the marriage between the Lei and Xie families, and the other is that I want to discuss something with you."

  "The real show is about to begin." Lin Dong, who was almost falling asleep from boredom, heard this and his spirit suddenly lifted.

  "Heh heh, I don't know what Old Master Lei is thinking of discussing." A chuckling voice echoed in the great hall.

  "In the hundred-mile radius of Qingyang Town, there are many large and small forces, but to be honest, most of them can't even get on stage. If you really want to make it big, you have to develop in Yan City. As for the profits of Yan City, I'm sure everyone is clear about that. Compared to Yan City, Qingyang Town is like a poor and remote village."

  However, although the oil and water of Flame City are tempting, it's impossible for any one of us to get a share on our own. So, after discussing with the Xie family, my Lei family formed a small business alliance. The reason I invited everyone here today is actually to ask you all to join the alliance and work together for mutual benefit!" Leibao said with a smile.

  The laughter of the leopard subsided, and the hall also gradually became quiet. Many people's eyebrows, however, slowly furrowed in concern. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't understand why the Lei family and the Xie family would form an alliance, let alone try to pull them into it now.

  In this case, wouldn't they have directly become subordinates of the Lei and Xie families? This... seems too absurd, doesn't it?

  "This old guy, his forehead was squeezed..."

  Lin shook his head and muttered to himself. Although the two families of Lei and Xie had some prestige in Qingyang Town, they were still far from being able to summon a hundred responses with one call. Not to mention this so-called business alliance, who among the leaders of these forces present would be willing to become subordinate to the two families?

  So this proposal is obviously somewhat ridiculous. The two families of Lei and Xie don't have the qualifications to make those in power listen to them like that.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, just as Lin Dong had anticipated, a figure stood up shortly after Lei Bao's voice fell.

  "Lei Lao Ye Zi has great ambitions, not something we can compare to. We just want to guard our own small piece of land. Yan Cheng is rich and prosperous, but we don't have the ability to take advantage of it. So, let's forget about the alliance, I bid you farewell." After saying that, the group of people stood up, turned around and was about to leave.

  "You are all unwilling, simply because you think that I, Lei's family, am not yet qualified to lead you."

  Looking at the group of people who wanted to leave, Lei Bao smiled faintly and slowly got up. As he stood up, a strong surge of yuan power suddenly burst out from his body, filling the entire hall in an instant. The immense pressure caused many people's faces to turn red.

  "Original Dan Realm!"

  Feeling that strong oppression, the hall immediately rang out with a series of stifled cries of surprise. The people who had been about to turn and leave froze in their tracks.

  A late-stage Tianyuan realm Leopard might not be enough to make them feel awe-inspired, but if it were a Yuandan realm instead, then that would be a different story!

  Yuandan boundary, Qingyang Town is a hundred miles around, if you can reach this step, I'm afraid it's just Leibao alone!

  "Since I, Lao Fu, have dared to speak out, then naturally I must have some confidence. How about it? Everyone, can you now believe that the Lei family has such strength?" Leibao said with a faint smile as he gazed at the shocked faces in the room.

  This time, no one spoke out in refutation. Their faces changed color uncertainly. Lei Bao's actions made it clear that he was showing off his military might. If they cooperated, there would still be a way out, but if they remained obstinate and unenlightened, they would likely become the enemy of the Lei family.

  A strong man from Yuan Dan border was enough to make most people in the scene feel fearful.

  "If there are those who are unwilling, I will not force them; they can leave if they wish."

  Many people cursed in their hearts when they heard what Lei Bao said, but they didn't dare to turn around and leave. For a moment, the atmosphere in the field became somewhat stiff and awkward.

  Looking at this scene, Lei Bao's eyes also surged with a triumphant smile, the intimidation of Yuandan realm was indeed extraordinary.

  "Since the Lei family has such grand ambitions, then I, Lin, will take my leave."

  However, the smile in his eyes did not last long, and under a dull voice, it slowly solidified, followed by gloomy and ferocious gaze, which slowly condensed on the Lin family members who stood up.

  I'm dead, I finished coding and updated it, but when I looked again, the recommendation votes were still short of a few hundred and were about to be surpassed. Although the new book has more than 2,000 words per chapter, the time spent on it is really longer than Dou Po's 3,000 words. This chapter took two hours to code as well. Anyway, I'll shout out for recommendation votes, please bother everyone to give Wu Dong a recommendation vote after finishing the update, thank you all.
