A thunderous roar erupted, accompanied by a terrifying surge of killing intent. The entire town instantly fell silent, then countless gazes turned towards the Lin family's direction.
"The Blood Robe Sect has finally arrived..."
"The Lin family truly faces many calamities. They just eliminated the Lei and Xie families, and now... they've encountered an opponent many times more formidable."
"Alas..."
Outside the Lin family manor, a person in a crimson robe led a contingent of men, completely surrounding the village like a solid wedge. The pervasive killing intent was startling to behold.
At the head of that large contingent was a single man on horseback. This man was robust, dark-skinned, and looked like an iron tower. His presence made others feel suffocated, and no one dared to underestimate him.
The man wore a red robe, his face icy and unreadable, showing neither joy nor sorrow. His crimson eyebrows exuded killing intent. This man was Wei Tong, the sect master of the Blood Robe Sect. He had some renown in Yan City and possessed the strength of the Initial Yuan Dan Stage, Minor Completion!
Beside Wei Tong was a gaunt old man, whose Yuan Power fluctuated around him, appearing and disappearing. This old man was likely a powerful elder of the Blood Robe Sect, with the strength of the Minor Yuan Dan Stage.
"Heh heh, my Blood Robe Sect has personally come to your door, yet a small Lin family like this dares to keep its main gate closed. Do you really think my Blood Robe Sect wouldn't dare to bloody this place?"
The hawk-nosed old man's expression was grim as he stared at the Lin family manor, speaking with a strange laugh.
"Creak!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tightly shut main gate slowly opened. Many Lin family guards rushed out, their faces tense as they looked at the group of people outside.
"This old man is Lin Zhen Tian, the Lin family patriarch. Greetings, Sect Master Wei Tong."
Lin Zhen Tian led Lin Xiao and the others out in a line. He looked at the red-robed man on horseback, cupping his hands in greeting.
"I didn't expect such a powerful Minor Yuan Dan Stage expert in this small Qing Yang Town."
Wei Tong's eyes indifferently stared at Lin Zhen Tian, then he waved his hand and said,
"The purpose of my Blood Robe Sect's visit, your Lin family must already know. Gu Ying was the deputy sect master of the Blood Robe Sect, and he died at the hands of your Lin family. A blood debt must be paid with blood. You must know what to do."
Lin Zhen Tian's expression changed slightly. He gritted his teeth and said,
"Sect Master Wei Tong, at that time, my Lin family was fighting the Lei and Xie families. Deputy Sect Master Gu Ying suddenly intervened, which is why that outcome occurred."
"I didn't come here to listen to explanations."
Wei Tong said indifferently, his eyes somewhat cold as he stared at Lin Zhen Tian. He continued,
"I already said, I came here to avenge him, so there's no need for reasons."
Wei Tong spoke calmly, but within that calmness lay a sense of recklessness and imposing aura. Naturally, the Lin family was unwilling to accept this. Though angry, they dared not say anything.
Lin Zhen Tian's expression changed. After a moment, he said in a deep voice,
"Sect Master Wei Tong, then speak plainly. What exactly do you want from my Lin family to resolve this matter?"
The Blood Robe Sect had mobilized a large force, but they only surrounded the manor without immediately attacking. Such a posture clearly indicated an ulterior motive. Lin Zhen Tian was a shrewd man, so he immediately guessed that the Blood Robe Sect simply wanted to make an exorbitant demand.
"You are indeed a reasonable person."
Hearing Lin Zhentian say this, Wei Tong finally cracked a smile, his gleaming white teeth startling everyone.
"Hand over Tie Mu Village and the murderer of Gu Ying. At the same time, your Lin family must pledge allegiance to the Blood Robe Sect. Then I can overlook the matter of Gu Ying."
Hearing Wei Tong's words, the hearts of Lin Zhentian and the others sank. Although they had long guessed that the Blood Robe Sect would demand an exorbitant price, they had still underestimated the appetite of these people.
"Sect Master Wei Tong, can't you be a little more lenient?" Lin Zhentian said hoarsely.
"Heh heh, Lin Zhentian, don't push your luck. It's already extremely lenient that the Sect Master isn't immediately slaughtering your Lin family. If you keep talking nonsense here, be careful, or we won't even spare the chickens and dogs in your Lin family!" The old man standing beside Wei Tong said with a sharp, cold voice.
"It's not that you don't want to directly slaughter my Lin family, but rather that you understand that even if you could do it, the Blood Robe Sect would have to pay a considerable price."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a voice immediately rang out. A figure flew out from the Lin family compound, landing on the courtyard wall. This person was Lin Dong.
"You are the young brat who killed Gu Ying?" When Lin Dong appeared, Wei Tong's gaze fixed on him. His eyes narrowed, a cold glint flickering within them, as he slowly spoke.
"You overestimate your Lin family too much."
"Sect Master Wei Tong, I believe you also understand that if you make a move, my Lin family will certainly be annihilated. However, at the very least, the old gentleman beside you will remain here forever. Yan City is not without competition. If you consecutively lose two capable assistants, I think this would be a huge blow to the Blood Robe Sect." Lin Dong stared at Wei Tong, speaking with some deliberation.
"You!" Hearing Lin Dong's words, the old man's face turned purple with rage. Just as he was about to roar, Wei Tong waved his hand, stopping him, then sneered, "Brat, according to you, our Blood Robe Sect can't do anything to your Lin family?"
"The Blood Robe Sect can, of course, destroy my Lin family, but it will have to pay a high price. Sect Master Wei Tong must understand this clearly in his heart. If my Lin family can escape today's massacre, then Sect Master Wei Tong will surely have trouble sleeping in the future." Lin Dong looked directly at Wei Tong and said.
"Oh?" Wei Tong was startled, staring at Lin Dong. A chilling coldness flashed in his eyes. He tapped his foot on the horse's back, and his body shot forward like an arrow, as fast as lightning.
"Brat, you think that just because you could kill Gu Ying, you can be arrogant in front of me, right? You say you can escape death, then I'll kill you first!"
Lin Dong's actions were truly beyond everyone's expectations. No one anticipated that this Sect Master of the Blood Robe Sect would make a move against a young man!
Lin Zhentian also recovered his senses at this moment, his eyes immediately turning red. But just as he was about to rush out to stop him, the old man standing beside Wei Tong appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
"Clang clang!"
This sudden turn of events caused the people on both sides to draw their swords one after another. The atmosphere was incredibly tense, on the verge of a fight.
Lin Dong calmly watched Wei Tong charge fiercely. This person's reaction was within his expectations. He also understood that he was currently no match for a Small Perfection Yuan Dan Realm expert.
Therefore, as Wei Tong charged, Lin Dong's body immediately retreated. Several dark rays flew out from his sleeves, hovering beneath his feet. He tapped his foot and shot into the sky, standing in mid-air. Seeing this scene, many people gasped in surprise.
To walk through the air, even a Yuan Dan Realm expert could not achieve such a feat.
Lin Dong leaped into the air, easily evading Wei Tong's attack. Only now did Wei Tong understand why Lin Dong was so arrogant as to believe he could escape his attack. With this move, he truly had no way to stop Lin Dong.
When Lin Zhentian and the others saw Lin Dong use this method to render Wei Tong helpless, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Dong's body slowly descended, landing on a treetop. From above, he looked down at Wei Tong and said:
"Sect Master Wei Tong, if the Blood Cloak Sect wishes to destroy my Lin family, I will go into hiding and cultivate in secret. But after that, your Blood Cloak Sect will not know peace."
"Are you threatening me?"
Wei Tong laughed in anger. This was the first time he had been threatened by a youth, and what annoyed him even more was that he had no way to stop Lin Dong. To be able to kill Gu Ying at this age was enough to demonstrate this person's potential. An opponent like this should be killed as early as possible, otherwise, the future troubles would be endless.
Lin Dong's expression was calm. The Lin family's current strength was no match for the Blood Cloak Sect, but Wei Tong also did not dare to lay hands on the Lin family, because he was wary of Lin Dong.
"Sect Master Wei Tong, I wonder if you dare to make a bet with me?"
Lin Dong suddenly said.
"What kind of bet?"
Wei Tong narrowed his eyes, and said with a cold laugh.
"In three months, you and I will engage in a life-and-death battle. If you win, not only will Ironwood Manor be yours, but my Lin family will also surrender to you. But if I win, we will let go of the matter of Gu Ying. How about it?"
Lin Dong slowly said.
Lin Dong's words caused countless people to be terrified. Even Lin Zhentian and the others' expressions changed. They glanced at each other, but did not speak. If today's calamity were to befall them, Ironwood Manor would surely be lost, and the Lin family would be finished.
To be able to extend it by three months was also a good thing. As for whether Lin Dong could defeat Wei Tong, only he himself knew. You are reading a story copied from Truyen FULL.
"You want to engage in a life-and-death battle with me?"
Wei Tong was also surprised by this kind of bet. Although Lin Dong had killed Gu Ying, he was different from Gu Ying. Lin Dong's strength could not be compared to his.
A Small Perfection Yuan Dan Realm expert could be equivalent to a Three-Seal Talisman Master! Three-Seal Talisman Masters, individuals of such strength, could be counted on one's fingers even in Yan City. He absolutely did not believe that Lin Dong could reach this level!
"I wonder if Sect Master Wei Tong dares to accept?"
Lin Dong said with a smile.
"Kid, you're trying to buy time, aren't you?"
Wei Tong said with a cold laugh.
Lin Dong offered no comment, staring intently at Wei Tong, and said:
"You have two choices. One, if you can defeat me, not only will the Ironwood Estate be yours, but the Lin family will also submit to you. The other choice is for us to fight it out right now, and then I'll escape."
Hearing the last two words, Wei Tong's face twitched. This was an incredibly humiliating matter, yet Lin Dong had spoken it in front of everyone, leaving Wei Tong speechless. This was precisely what he feared most.
He wasn't afraid of paying a high price to destroy the Lin family, but he was terrified of a venomous snake constantly lurking, especially one with extremely high potential. This would make his future life far from peaceful!
If you're going to kill, kill thoroughly. If you're going to pull weeds, pull them out by the roots!
But right now, he wasn't confident he could kill Lin Dong!
Wei Tong's eyes flickered as he weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Seeing his expression, the others remained silent, staring at Wei Tong. His choice could either lead to a river of blood today or bring peace to all.
"Sect Master Wei Tong, have you made up your mind?"
After a long while, Lin Dong spoke softly.
Wei Tong slowly raised his head, his gaze somewhat sinister as he stared at Lin Dong. Then he let out a faint laugh, his body moving slightly as he flew back onto his horse.
"Alright, I accept your proposal. However, three months is too long. I'll give you two months. After two months, I'll wait for you in the Arena in Yan City. But during this time, your Lin family is not allowed to leave Qingyang Town. My Blood Robe Sect's scouts will monitor you closely. If you leave, I will bathe the Lin family in blood!"
"Go!"
After Wei Tong finished speaking, he turned his horse and galloped out of Qingyang Town. The Blood Robe Sect's forces followed, transforming into a surging flood, rushing after him.
Standing on a treetop, Lin Dong watched the Blood Robe Sect's people leave, his expression also becoming serious.
"Two months."
Within these two months, he had to reach the Second Seal Talisman Master realm, otherwise, the Lin family would face a great disaster!
