WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 99: "The Mouse" in the Stone Amulet

The atmosphere was faintly stifling in a brightly lit room. Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao and a few others were sitting in this room with rather serious expressions on their faces.

“Daddy, we have successfully restarted all the businesses we previously neglected. Soon, they'll all be back on track.” Lin Xiao looked at Lin Zhentian, who had a stern expression on his face, as he said softly.

"Yes." Yeah."

Lin Zhentian dazedly nodded his head. A while later, he suddenly lifted his head and looked at Lin Xiao and the others, sighing: “At first, I thought that after we defeated the Lei and Xie Families, I thought that after we defeated the Lei Family, Our Lin Family will be able to enjoy prosperous days. Unfortunately, right now, it seems like we have offended another powerful faction: Blood Cloth Sect.”

“Dad, Dong-er acted rashly. I have failed in my teaching ... "Lin Xiao was silent for a moment before he immediately said. He knew that during this period of time, Lin Zhentian was constantly damaging his brain because of this problem. After all, the Lei and Xie Families could not compare to the Blood Cloth Sect.

“This is not Dong-er's fault. Gu Ying was a cruel and greedy man. Even if we let him live, he will still be a threat to us. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether we kill him or not.” Lin Zhentian waved his hand as he said.

“If we have to blame someone, we have to blame Lei Bao's cunning old ghost. He actually dared to reveal the existence of the Yang Yuan Stone Mining Venue to these wolves.”.

“Dad, what should we do? I have sent some people to investigate the Blood Cloth Sect. Right now, the reason why they did not move was most likely because they were still investigating the strength of our Lin Family. After they have completed their investigation ... "Lin Ken is very excited.

“The Head of the Blood Cloth Sect is Wei Tong and he is at the Full Yuan And Small Circle Stage. Under his command, were the vassals who had recently advanced to the Yuan And Early Stage. Meanwhile, they had around ten Heavenly Yuan Late Stage experts. Their strength is something that our Lin Family cannot match. ” Lin Zhentian slowly said. During this period of time, he had used all means to investigate the strength of the Blood Cloth Sect. However, the more he knew, the greater the anxiety in his heart.

“Small Full Circle Yuan And.”

After hearing these words, the facial expressions of Lin Xiao and the others changed. Although this was only one stage above Yuan And Early, these two stages were truly incomparable. Therefore, even Lin Zhentian would not be a challenge for Wu Tong. Furthermore, there were other followers in the Blood Cloth Sect who reached the Yuan And Early Stage. Overall, this kind of strength far exceeded the strength of the Lei and Xie Families.

Under the immense pressure exerted by their potential enemies, Lin Xiao and the others fell silent.

“Lin Xiao, secretly transferred some members of our younger generation during this period of time. In the event of an accident, our family lineage will still be preserved. ” The wrinkled face of Lin Zhentian was clearly tired as he waved his hand and said.

After hearing these words, Lin Xiao and the others clutched their fists. At this moment, they should start preparing for the worst outcome…

“Yang Yuan Stone Mining Method is a very valuable treasure. Once the Blood Cloth Sect found out about his whereabouts, they would try every means to snatch him. Besides, right now, they have a perfect excuse ..." With a sad smile, Lin Zhentian said: "Therefore, it's only a matter of time before they make a move."

“Lin Xiao, you must remember. If the Blood Cloth Sect really attacks us, you should protect Dong-er even at the expense of your life. His talent is astounding and he will definitely become a great person in the future!”

“Alright, it's late now. You should all go back and rest. ”

Lin Zhentian sighed, clearly not wanting to speak any further. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed Lin Xiao and the others.

"Yes." Yeah."

As they stared at the tired expression of the old man, Lin Xiao and the others could only nod their heads as they quietly left his room. It doesn't seem easy being the head of this family..”.

…

Just as Lin Xiao and the others left the room, inside the room deep within the Lin Family estate, Lin Dong who was sitting on the bed slowly opened his eyes. Based on his current strength, it was easy for him to eavesdrop on any conversation without being caught.

"Small Full Circle Yuan And ..."

Lin Dong tightly pursed his lips. Right now, based on his current strength, if he were to use all of his Mental Energy, he might be able to match a Yuan And Early stage practitioner. However, if he were to meet a Full Yuan And Little Circle expert, his chances of winning would be extremely low.

“It will take at most half a month before the Blood Cloth Sect thoroughly investigates the strength of our Lin Family. At that time, due to the allure of the Yang Yuan Stone Mining Ground, they will definitely attack us…

Lin Dong's eyes blinked. In half a month, what could he accomplish? At most, he could break through to the Heavenly Yuan Late Stage. However, even that would not be enough to match Wei Tong, who was at the Yuan And Small Full Circle Stage.

“Huff..”

Lin Dong took a deep breath. Perhaps, he was unable to accomplish much within half a month, and yet, he did not plan to give up just like that. After all, the Lin Family had worked hard to reach their current stage. Therefore, he did not want to see his family completely destroyed.

As his fingertips gently tapped on his right palm, Lin Dong slowly closed his eyes. When both of his eyes were closed, with a flick in his mind, that familiar dark Spiritual Domain once again reappeared.

Right now, within the Spiritual Domain of the Amulet Stone, there were several similar glowing shadows. However, the shining shadow of the Wonder Gate Seal was now completely refining that incomplete Martial Art.

Currently, the four chapters of the Magic Gate Seal had been completed. Based on Lin Dong's calculations, it might be able to match some Class 5 Martial Arts. Therefore, other than Mental Energy, this was Lin Dong's most powerful weapon. Although he could not hope to rely on this skill to defeat the leader of the Blood Cloth Sect, Wei Tong, it could still be considered one of his trump cards.

Lin Dong stood in front of this glowing shadow. However, he did not start training like before. Instead, this time, armed with an inquisitive gaze, he began to slowly scan this dark space.

At the same time, as his Mental Energy grew stronger, Lin Dong unraveled more of the mysteries behind the Stone Amulet. Therefore, Lin Dong was very curious, apart from refining martial arts and refining potions, what other abilities did this Stone Talisman possess?

Lin Dong earnestly looked at this dark Spiritual Domain. However, as time went on, nothing unexpected happened here. The room was still as quiet as before.

However, Lin Dong continued observing for half an hour before he sat on the ground. Streams of Mental Energy began to spread out as they meticulously swept through every inch of this darkness..'''

However, perhaps because this space was strange, Lin Dong realized that he spent a large amount of Mental Energy to scan this area. In just ten minutes, Lin Dong began to feel his senses blur.

However this situation did not cause Lin Dong to slow down. Instead, his youthful persistence and tenacity began to present itself as he stubbornly chose to unleash a surge of Mental Energy and continue scanning the area.

The dark Spiritual Domain was completely silent as waves of Mental Energy quietly spread out like ripples.

“Huff...”.

This scan continued for a long period of time. An exhausted expression slowly began to appear on Lin Dong's face. However, his "scanning" did not ultimately yield any results.

"Maybe I think too much ..."

As he muttered to himself, Lin Dong furrowed his brows. After searching fruitlessly for a long time, he had no choice but to give up on this meaningless endeavor. With a flick of his mind, he quickly dispersed his Mental Energy.

As his Mental Energy began to spread, in the dark, ****** inaudible nearby echoed.

"Who?!"

******* this is barely audible. However, at this moment, Lin Dong's eyes opened wide as he turned to look at a certain dark area and shouted.

As he shouted, every hair on Lin Dong's body stood up. It seemed like he was not the only person in this dark Spiritual Domain!

As he became more familiar with the Mysterious Stone Amulet, Lin Dong could sense that when he used this Stone Amulet to refine Elixir, some part of the medicinal strength would be absorbed by the Stone Amulet. In fact, that day when absorbing that bewitching flower deep within the mining layer, most of the medicinal power within the flower was not absorbed by Lin Dong, but rather, it all flew to the Stone Talisman!

This daily minute observation caused Lin Dong to become suspicious. This was one of the reasons why he had chosen to carefully scan the Domain Spiritual talisman Stone.

After Lin Dong shouted, the entire dark Spiritual Domain became silent again. This sensation almost made ******* that from before, seem like a misunderstanding of it.

However Lin Dong was convinced that it was not a mistake. As he seriously looked at that black area, streams of Mental Energy quickly appeared in front of him. In the blink of an eye, he had realized an extremely thin and long needle. This was the "Spirit Divine Needle" that Gu Ying had used before.

Although this was only an ordinary Secret Spirit Art, after all this was one of the few Secret Spirit Arts that Lin Dong had mastered.

"If you don't reveal yourself, I will attack!"

The "Spirit Divine Needle" that floated in front of Lin Dong slightly sparkled. Meanwhile, Lin Dong's voice slowly reverberated in this dark Spiritual Domain.

Lin Dong's words did not get any response. After witnessing this situation, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Without further ado, the “Spirit Divine Needle” hovering in front of him immediately shot out and shot fiercely towards that dark area.

"Buzz!'

As the “Spirit Divine Needle” advanced, in the next moment, a small light suddenly emerged from the darkness before swiftly darting towards a deeper area in the darkness.

"You're planning to run ?!"

When he saw this scene, Lin Dong violently jerked his arm. His Mental Energy was like countless ropes as they immediately chased after the glowing shadow before they trapped it and forcefully began to pull it back.

"explosion!"

When the glowing shadow landed in front of Lin Dong, he saw it, before an expression of astonishment appeared on his face. As the light weakened, the form revealed before him was actually a palm-sized mouse that was pitch-black from head to toe!

However, what caused Lin Dong to feel the most shocked was that inside the black rat's eyes it was not fear but rather anger that was very much like a human.

“What is this thing..”

As he stared at the black rat's angry expression, Lin Dong involuntarily took a deep breath.
