“Yes… although I’ve been injured, it’s still within controllable limits!”
“However, Daoist Hu, your injuries this time are quite serious. To recover to your peak condition, I’m afraid it will take quite some effort!”
Ye Pinghai glanced at Hu Yuan, then said with a smile, his expression also exhibiting excitement.
Upon hearing Ye Pinghai’s explanation, all the clan members present were also extremely excited, and likewise breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
At that time, Lin Shikang shifted the topic and asked about the entire process of their pursuit of the Qingyun Sect cultivators.
Upon hearing the query, Lin Tianming began to speak, “Third Grandfather, I’ve made a rough estimate, and we’ve killed about one hundred and ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators!”
As soon as his voice fell, Lin Shihua took over and said, “I led family members mainly to delay the cultivators from the Qingyun Sect, but we also killed twenty-six people!”
...
Hearing such battle results, Lin Shikang was exceptionally excited, and even a hint of a healthy color flashed across his pale face.
Apart from him, all the clan members present felt the same.
At this point, Lin Tianming also asked, “Third Grandfather, how many did you and Grandpa Sea kill?”
“At that time, the pressure was immense, joining forces to deal with Xu Zhi was already difficult enough!”
“Nevertheless, we’ve probably killed dozens as well!” Lin Shikang chuckled in response.
No sooner had his voice fallen than Lin Shihua expressed regret, muttering under his breath.
“Hmph… had they not run so fast, and had we not been limited by manpower, we would have made all of those more than two hundred people stay here!”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming waved his hand and said, “Twelfth Grandpa, the people they sent here were nearly three hundred, and all of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, not comparable to those Qi Refining Cultivators.”
“Facing such a vast line-up, being able to kill most of them is a result that is already satisfying enough!”
“Yes… this time the Lin Family faced an unprecedented crisis. Thankfully, Tianming returned in time, otherwise the Lin Family would have been in danger!”
Lin Shikang agreed, feeling internally satisfied with such a result.
Lin Tianming felt the same about this outcome as well.
In his heart, this battle had indeed been dangerous. If the cultivated Sword Qi had not been strong enough, the final outcome would have been uncertain.
And during the subsequent pursuit, he, his family members, and Spirit Beasts all exerted their utmost efforts, killing as many of Qingyun Sect’s disciples as possible.
However, the number of Qingyun Sect members was too great, with even the weakest at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment, and they scattered widely when fleeing.
If not for his amazing speed of escape, and a strong body that could virtually ignore attacks from Foundation Establishment Cultivators,
With such innate conditions, he had no concerns.
Otherwise, such terrifying results would not have been possible.
This time, the Qingyun Sect suffered heavy losses. Apart from Xu Zhi, who was a top-tier combatant at the Mid Stage of Golden Core, nearly two hundred of the nearly three hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators fell in this battle.
That was nearly two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
Considering the growth of the entire Lin Family over the years, it’s been rapid enough.
Yet even so, the number of the Lin family members above Foundation Establishment Cultivation was barely forty or fifty.
Yet in this battle, they had killed nearly two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and although the majority of them were at the Initial or Medium Stages, there were only about twenty or thirty at the Late Stage.
Such losses would only be seen in the history of the Wei Kingdom during a Beast Tide assault and during the battles among the Three Great Sects.
It was hard to imagine what kind of commotion it would cause if this news spread throughout the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.
Surely everyone would be shocked!
Lin Tianming thought to himself, his heart unable to settle down for a long time.
At that moment, Lin Shihua made a remark that brought Lin Tianming back to reality.
“Tian Ming, did you capture any cultivators earlier to ask about their plans and motives?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming replied with a light smile, “Twelfth Grandpa, during the pursuit, I did not kill the last few directly!”
“After threatening them, I got quite a bit of useful information!”
“Oh? What information?”
“`
Lin Shikang wore a puzzled expression as he pressed for answers, seemingly very concerned about the issue.
Besides him, the remaining clan members also wore faces full of anticipation, clearly eager to discover which power had attacked the Lin Family.
And for what reason had they mobilized such an overwhelming force to come to the Lin Family Clan Grounds?
At that moment, Lin Tianming decided not to beat around the bush and began explaining.
“You must have your speculations about the power that attacked our family, right?”
“Yes, it’s the Golden Elixir Forces of Qingyun Sect from Huangyang Kingdom!”
Hearing this, Lin Shikang nodded his head.
“Hmm… Although Xu Zhi did not reveal his affiliation, the emblem on their Daoist robes, combined with the geographical location of the Luoyun Mountain Range, has already disclosed its backing power.”
After Lin Shikang finished speaking, Lin Shihua also posed a pointed question.
“Then speaking of which, the Lin Family has not exposed its strength, so how did it catch the attention of Qingyun Sect?”
“And to dispatch a Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator, along with nearly three hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators in such a massive formation?”
“This seems almost unbelievable!”
Upon hearing these words, Lin Tianming nodded. Had he not gathered some information at the Qianchuan Market, forming some conjectures in his mind, he probably wouldn’t have been able to understand either.
However, after thinking it over, the Wei Kingdom was already in utter chaos, with the overall strength of the Three Great Sects declining over the years.
Moreover, the top powers of Huangyang Kingdom and Wei Kingdom were at odds, even harboring a longstanding grudge.
Under such various conditions, it was not at all surprising for the Golden Elixir Forces of Huangyang Kingdom to make a move to loot amidst the chaos.
But while he understood this clearly, Lin Shikang and the others were lacking precise intelligence, and naturally, they were somewhat puzzled about this unwarranted disaster.
Recognizing this, Lin Tianming then shared the intelligence he had obtained from Tang Xiuyuan.
Soon, based on the information provided, and combined with the geographical position of the Lin Family, the clansmen realized that the Lin Family had been wrongfully targeted.
“No wonder!”
“I knew the Lin Family has kept a low profile over the years, exerting no small effort to conceal its strength, so how could it have sparked such a major incident.”
“It turns out that the Three Great Sects of Wei Kingdom intended to take advantage of the chaos, and the Luoyun Mountain Range where the Lin Family is located happens to be Qingyun Sect’s best route to attack the Wei Kingdom!”
Hearing Lin Tianming’s explanation, Lin Shihua now understood the motive behind Qingyun Sect’s attack.
And at that moment, Lin Tianming nodded, then spoke of the issue that concerned Lin Shikang the most, which was the attack plans of Qingyun Sect and the other two sects.
After all, this news was too important!
It could even be said that the survival of the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World was greatly linked to the attack plans of the three major sects of Huangyang Kingdom.
With that, Lin Tianming divulged all the information he had gleaned from capturing a few cultivators of Qingyun Sect in one breath.
According to him, the few Qingyun Sect cultivators he had captured were all core disciples, and Xu Zhi had not expected to encounter such adversity, failing to consider their attack plans thoroughly.
At the very least, quite a few core disciples of Qingyun Sect were somewhat privy to some aspects of the plan.
In these plans, Xu Zhi initiating the attack from the Luoyun Mountain Range was the first step, with the Lin Family’s location as the initial target.
Only, Xu Zhi’s luck was terribly poor, having kicked an iron board right from the outset.
They could never have imagined that the Lin Family would possess four Golden Core Stage Combat Powers, and even more unexpectedly, that the Lin Family had a Profound Grade Spirit Art, a powerful trump card that could turn the tide.
Because of Xu Zhi’s arrogance and overconfidence, he paid a heavy price, losing his own life along with nearly two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
As for the other team of Qingyun Sect, they also attacked other forces in the Luoyun Mountain Range at the same time, with even the Luoyun Market included in Qingyun Sect’s plan of attack.
However, the current state of the battle or the outcome, including themselves, remained unknown.
But one could anticipate that the Luoyun Market along with other family powers surely did not have Golden Core Cultivators stationed there.
Faced with the Early Stage Golden Core Meng Qingfeng, and an impressive force of more than two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it was likely that even another Foundation Establishing Family, the Luo Family, couldn’t hold out for two days.
With that being the case, the current Luoyun Mountain Range was probably experiencing a bloody storm with many family forces being trampled.
