Chapter 87: News of the Outcome, Stunning the Families!
At this moment, Ancestor Lin smiled and replied, “We’ll continue to celebrate for my Lin family’s Saint Child!”
“Celebrate his birth, celebrate our victory… There are too many things to celebrate… Moreover, we want to settle our scores with those two-faced fellows from Qi Mountain County!”
At this moment, Ancestor Lin’s eyes narrowed as he looked into the distance. It was as if he had crossed a thousand feet and saw the embarrassment of those families.
“In these ten days, many families in Qi Mountain County have become bold!”
Far away, the mountain range rose and fell, and immortal fog lingered. This was the territory of the Shen family in Qi Mountain County. As the family with the most wealth in Qi Mountain County, the Shen family’s territory was naturally abnormally mysterious.
One could see spiritual birds flying in the mountain range, auspicious beasts lurking, and even the sound of flowing streams and spring water.
On one road after another, one could see sword cultivators flying in the sky with faint spiritual fog.
Palace buildings could be vaguely seen in the mountain range one after another. They were brilliant and flowing with brilliant light. Every single one of them was created with superb natural treasures, and there were even some profundities vaguely present in the arrangement and layout. Profound formations could rise up at any time. Actually, the entire mountain range of the Shen family was an enormous formation. Even a Golden Core Realm cultivator would have to spend a period of time coming here.
At this moment, on the highest peak of the Shen family’s mountain range, an old man was sitting on the mountain peak and chatting with another old man.
“Great Elder, since you’ve already said so, let’s settle the matter. Once the situation over there is resolved, our Curtain Rain Chamber of Commerce will immediately send people to appease the others in Great Yan City and then station them there.” The old man in a brilliant golden robe said with a smile.
“That’s true. When the Lin family was still in Great Yan City, we definitely did not dare to touch the cities and districts around them. Now, the Lin family is almost gone, and the master of the Great Abyss has already attacked. I’m afraid the outcome will be out in a few days.” The Shen family’s Great Elder was also smug and in high spirits.
“That’s right. It’s a pity that those cities are in the hands of the Lin family. After all, those places in the hands of the Lin family are top-notch bustling and are the hub of Qi Mountain County’s transportation. They actually only opened a few trade spots, and the taxes are really too low.”
“If our Curtain Rain Chamber of Commerce takes over these cities from the Lin family, we can at least obtain several times the profits. At that time, our two families can share the profits!”
“Hahaha, very good, very good! In fact, many people from my Shen family have already infiltrated those cities near Great Yan City. Now, the Lin family is probably on the brink of death. It’s a good opportunity. How can anyone compete with my Shen family?” The Shen family’s Great Elder also laughed heartily.
The two elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with smiles.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the small building. The knocking was very urgent.
The Shen family’s Great Elder stood up and smiled slightly. He said calmly, “Now, the news from the Lin family has already been delivered. That’s right. It’s been so long. There should be an outcome!”
“They’re really too ignorant. They dare to go against the master of the Great Abyss? They’re courting death. Moreover, they held a month-old banquet there. It’s simply a joke!”
When the door of the small building was opened, the Great Elder saw the person standing outside and was slightly stunned.
This was because this person was a slightly plump middle-aged man. He was the head of the Shen family. Moreover, his expression was very anxious.
“Family… Family Head?” The Shen family’s Great Elder frowned slightly and asked, “What exactly happened that requires you to personally come and deliver the news?”
The Shen family’s head did not answer the Great Elder’s words at all. Instead, he strode in and carefully searched the cabinet in the Great Elder’s room. Then, he asked very worriedly, “Where’s the communication jade token of the disciples we placed in the nearby towns of Great Yan City? Quickly call them back!”
Call them back?
Hearing this, not only was the Shen family’s Great Elder puzzled, but the old man from the Curtain Rain Chamber of Commerce was also very puzzled.
“Family Head, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort to call those people back now? They have already infiltrated the Lin family. We exhausted a lot of effort and paid a lot of price in doing so. As long as they can operate well, these cities can definitely…”
“Don’t say anything here. Quickly call them back. They’ve probably been discovered by the Lin family now!” Family Head Shen said directly. He was very anxious and searched everywhere.
The Shen family’s Great Elder and the old man from the Curtain Rain Chamber of Commerce were a little carried away.
After thinking for a moment, the old man from the Curtain Rain Chamber of Commerce said, “Family Head Shen, to be honest, at this point, even if the people we planted have been discovered, so what? The Lin family is already at the end of the line. As long as you’re willing to activate those…”
“The end of the line?”
Family Head Shen suddenly stopped and turned his head around. His expression was strange, “Don’t tell me that you don’t know what exactly happened over there?”
“What’s the matter?” The two elders were shocked, “Shouldn’t the people from the Lin family have already been killed by the master of the Great Abyss? I heard that the entire place is filled with ferocious beasts!”
Family Head Shen’s expression instantly darkened like the bottom of a pot. He directly grabbed a token and threw it at the Great Elder’s face!
“Bullsh*t! Ferocious beasts everywhere? Stop dreaming!”
“That old fool, Lin Qingtian, has already advanced to the Nascent Soul realm. Also, that Lin family’s Saint Child is the baby involved in the month-old banquet. He helped Lin Qingtian defeat that Great Abyss Master!”
“The Lin family is still happily holding a month-old banquet now. Killed? You think they can be killed now?”
The expression of the Great Elder of the Curtain Rain Chamber of Commerce suddenly turned as pale as paper.
“What… what did you say?!”
“Everything I said is true. Don’t just stand there! Quickly get our people to come back and take out the top treasures in our treasure vault. Come with me to apologize!”
…
In the battle of Great Yan City, Ancestor Lin had stepped into the Nascent Soul realm and defeated the master of the Great Abyss. The Lin family’s Saint Child who had once triggered the purple qi and Dao sound was actually an infant!
This news was like a bolt from the blue and spread throughout the entire Qi Mountain County.
When the families and forces heard this news, they nearly widened their eyes!
The Lin family had actually defeated the master of the Great Abyss?
What the heck was going on? An expert like the master of the Great Abyss had actually lost to the Lin family? Moreover, when had the Lin family’s Saint Child become a baby? Wasn’t he a youth?
