NOVPUBChapter 825: Chapter 444 Thieves Never Die Chapter 825: Chapter 444 Thieves Never Die At that time, Lin Tianming’s reaction to Lin Xingcheng’s news wasn’t a surprise.
After all, such news was truly shocking!
It should be noted that after two battles, two famous Golden Core Experts had fallen, including one at the Mid Stage Golden Core.
Truthfully, these characters were normally elusive powerhouses. Now, they had not only appeared in Wei Kingdom but had fallen under the eyes of the Lin Family Members.
Even if the cultivators at Luoyun Market didn’t witness the great battle between Lin Tianming and Meng Qingfeng, the nearby distance allowed them to sense the disturbances of the battle.
Such explosive events were performed continuously in just a few short days across the territory of the Luoyun Mountain Range.
After a long while, Lin Xingcheng regained his composure from the shock.
...
He looked at Lin Tianming, then asked, “What should we do next?”
Hearing the question, Lin Tianming thought for a moment before responding, “These times are far from peaceful. The other two sects of Huangyang Kingdom are also attacking other mountain ranges of Wei Kingdom. With the recent chaos in Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World, and now Huangyang Kingdom interjecting into this great battle among the three sects, I fear the situation will deteriorate further.”
“Moreover, with the Lin Family’s consecutive battles these past few days, it won’t be long before the outcome of this great war spreads throughout Wei and Huangyang Countries!”
“At that time, the Lin Family will inevitably be at the forefront, and maybe even targeted by Qingyun Sect!”
“I have been injured in this battle. Given the current harsh conditions, I plan to retreat and meditate in Luoyun Market for a while, to both recover from my injuries and to stay here for some time.”
“After this period, we will see how the situation unfolds and decide on the next steps for the Lin Family!”
Hearing Lin Tianming’s words, Lin Xingcheng nodded, his heart also sighing in relief.
He knew the current situation of the Lin Family. What could be anticipated was that the news of the Lin Family battling two Golden Core cultivators from Qingyun Sect would definitely shock the Cultivation Worlds of both countries.
In the current situation, although the Lin Family was in the limelight, as the saying goes, ‘a tall tree catches the wind.’ Now, the Lin Family was seen as a threatening presence by other forces.
Therefore, the Lin Family had already exposed all its strength, and trying to develop and hide in secret was now unrealistic.
Thus, the Lin Family had moved from the shadows to the forefront, which would also attract the attention of the Three Sects of Wei Kingdom.
It was predictable that Zhenyang Sect and Myriad Medicine Valley would do their utmost to coax the Lin Family into their camp, to jointly oppose the attacks from Golden Sword Sect and Blood Red Alliance.
After all, their situation was already tricky, worsened by the sudden invasion by the Three Sects of Huangyang Kingdom.
Now, the overall strength of the Lin Family was almost no weaker than any of those sects; whoever could align with the Lin Family could secure the initiative.
It’s even possible that once the Lin Family entered the fray, it could become the key factor that would sway their victory or defeat.
Given this situation, the next few years, or even a decade, would inevitably be far from easy for the Lin Family.
Knowing this, Lin Xingcheng, as the current head of Luoyun Market, felt no relief, but rather a heightened sense of urgency.
Fortunately, with Lin Tianming staying here for a while and a Golden Core Clan Member present, he felt somewhat more confident.
At this time, Lin Xingcheng sighed in relief as he watched his clan members clean up the battlefield and then gather around him.
In the forefront, Lin Xingyu, holding many storage bags, approached Lin Tianming and said, “Tian Ming, all these storage bags are here, including all the Magic Artifacts that have been collected. Please check if anything is missing?”
After speaking, Lin Xingyu handed all the storage bags to Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming accepted them without refusal, taking all the storage bags.
These Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ storage bags were numerous; he had destroyed nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators, each possessing at least one storage bag, amounting to several hundreds in total.
These items were essentially the life savings of Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Although there would be very few items of use to him as a Golden Core Cultivator, the sheer quantity was overwhelming.
These spoils of war were supposed to be his personal property. He planned, when he had spare time, to explore them one by one.
He would collect anything useful to him, and the rest of the treasures used by Foundation Establishment Cultivars would be collectively handed over to the family for handling.
After Lin Tianming collected the storage bags, Lin Xingcheng reminded him.
“Tian Ming, as the battlefield has been cleared, let’s return to the market first!”
“Um, let’s go!”
Lin Tianming nodded, then flew toward Luoyun Market first, with Lin Xingcheng and the others not lagging behind, following him to the entrance of the market.
At that moment, numerous cultivators still gathered on the city walls, all staring curiously at them, their faces filled with anticipation.
Then, seeing the leading Lin Tianming with a somewhat chaotic aura and bearing significant injuries, some observant cultivators immediately recognized his identity.
One of the Sixth Level of Qi Refinement cultivators pointed at the Lin Family Members, exclaiming excitedly,
“That’s Senior Lin Tianming!”
Hearing this, many cultivators who had never seen Lin Tianming also turned to look at the Lin Family Members, searching for Lin Tianming among them.
Indeed, Lin Tianming’s reputation resonated throughout the entire Luoyun Mountain Range, eclipsing even Lin Shikang and Lin Shilu, who had entered the Foundation Establishment Stage earlier, and couldn’t be compared with him.
