WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 146: The Storm Appears

When Lin Dong walked out of the Symbol, Master Tower, he saw a group of wooden figures like a stake. A gaze snapped towards him at an extremely frightening speed. It was as if they had seen a ghost.

"Grandmaster Yan, are you guys okay?" After being stared at by their strange gazes, Lin Dong could not help but laugh dryly as he walked forward and said.

"You've entered the ninth level?" Grandmaster Yan's voice could not help but tremble slightly as he firmly stared at Lin Dong. Even he was unable to enter the ninth level of the Symbol Master Tower, but before, he had indeed personally seen a speck of Lin Dong's light at the ninth level for a period of time.

"Oh? What's wrong? I was just testing if I could enter the ninth level.” After seeing grandmaster Yan's expression, Lin Dong was also a little frightened. He had the impression that they had known what he had done in the ninth level. Immediately, he very carefully asked.

"This man ..."

After hearing Lin Dong's acknowledgement, grandmaster Yan and the several middle-aged Symbol Masters of the third seal beside him all breathed in cold air as shock shot out from their eyes. No one had been able to enter the ninth level for so many years, to think that Lin Dong had managed to enter.

“Fortunately, those Sky Fire City people left quickly. Or else, they would be so shocked that they would spit out blood. ” One of the middle-aged Symbol Masters forced a smile as he said. The others also agreed. No one could imagine that Lin Dong had actually managed to rise to the ninth most mysterious level of the Symbol Master Tower.

Lin Dong let out two dry laughs. He knew that if they were to talk about one's true abilities, he might be at most on par with Zhou Tong, If not for his special Fate Soul Symbol, then, he would absolutely not be able to gather such a feat.

Of course, even if that was the case, it was enough to show that Lin Dong's Mental Energy talent was indeed astonishing. After all, without his Fate Soul Symbol, there would probably not be much difference between him and Zhou Tong. However, the fact was that Zhou Tong was the number one young Symbol Master in Sky Fire City, plus, the time he had spent bitterly cultivating his Mental Energy far surpassed Lin Dong. However, Lin Dong could still overtake the latter, this level of Mental Energy talent could only be called terrifying.

“This time, it's all thanks to you.” While Lin Dong chuckled softly, on one side, Zi Yue also walked forward and said softly. Now, his face was no longer as cold as it had originally been. This time, all the praise for making sure the Symbol Master Tower remained in Yan City belonged to Lin Dong. Although he had an arrogant and cold character, he was not particularly arrogant, so, he naturally no longer showed such a cold expression.

Upon seeing this cold beauty suddenly turning much softer, Lin Dong felt a little uncomfortable. He smiled and said, "I'm just fulfilling what I was assigned to do."

“You should have now advanced to the third seal Symbol Master stage, right?” Grandmaster Yan stroked his beard with a small laugh. Ever since Lin Dong entered the Symbol Master Tower, they had practically never left this place. All their attention was focused here, thus, the ripples caused by Lin Dong when he made a breakthrough did not escape their senses.

"Yes." Yeah."

With regards to this matter, Lin Dong did not bother to hide it. Immediately, he smiled as he nodded his head. This look caused some of them to smile painfully as they quietly sighed. They had been cultivating for roughly a dozen years before reaching this step, and yet, Lin Dong had caught up with them in less than two years. This speed would actually cause one to exclaim in awe.

"People from Sky Fire City have already left, haha, Zhou Tong left a message for you: when he meets you again, he will definitely defeat you."

Lin Dong chuckled, he had no ill intentions towards Zhou Tong and even slightly understood him. If they met in the future, Lin Dong would try and see if they could become friends.

Since the Tower Battle affair had ended smoothly, Lin Dong no longer needed to stay. He had been gone for almost a month this time and probably had to rush back home. Thus, after chatting with grandmaster Yan and the others for a while, he said goodbye and left.

…

After leaving the Symbol Master Guild, Lin Dong instantly returned to the Lin Family. Not long after he passed through the entrance, his brows involuntarily furrowed slightly. The Lin Family today seemed much more lonely than usual.

"Brother Lin Dong!"

While Lin Dong's brows furrowed, a familiar and clear voice sounded from in front of him. The first one raised his head and looked at the green-clothed girl who was approaching with small quick steps as a gentle smile quickly appeared: "Qing Tan."

"Brother Lin Dong, you're finally back." Qing Tan stood in front of Lin Dong, a gleaming excitement in his clear eyes. Beside him, Little Flame also growled excitedly.

"Brother Lin Dong is back!"

When Qing Tan's voice rang out, quite a number of figures quickly ran out of the manor. What was astonishing was that most of them were members of the younger generation of the Lin Family. In front of the crowd, Lin Dong also looked at Lin Xia, Lin Hong and the others whom he had not seen for a long time.

“Sister Lin Xia, what's up? Where are grandfather and the others?” As he looked towards Lin Xia, Lin Dong's brows fused as he asked.

"Something has happened. Grandpa and the others are out.” Lin Xia hesitantly replied.

"Two batches of Yang Yuan Stones from our Steel Wood Manor Lin Family have been robbed, plus, the father and first uncle have been injured ..." On one side, Qing Tan said softly. As he spoke, his small fists clenched tightly, he was clearly a bit angry.

"Dad hurt?"

After hearing these words, a ferocious gaze instantly appeared in Lin Dong's eyes as he slowly spoke: "Do you know who did it?"

"I heard grandfather and the others say it should be the Ghost Sword Sect from Yan City." Lin Xia replied.

“The Ghost Sword Sect? Is the ghost sword their leader Gui Yan?”

lin Dong's brows lightly furrowed. He had heard of the Ghost Sword Sect, although they could not compare to any of the top three factions like the Thousand Gold Association, they were not weak. Most importantly, the leader of the Ghost Sword Sect, Gui Yan, was quite a famous figure in Yan City. Although he had yet to reach the perfect Yuan Dan stage, he was the number one among the practitioners at the higher Yuan Dan stage. In comparison, Wei Tong's reputation was slightly less than good.

"The Lin family shouldn't have a grudge with them right?"

“We do not have a grudge with the Ghost Sword Sect, however, it is said that the Ghost Sword Sect and the Blood Wolf Gang have formed an alliance not too long ago.” Lin Xiao said bitterly.

"The Blood Wolf Gang!"

After hearing this name, Lin Dong's expression darkened. He knew that the Lin Family had kept a fairly low profile during this period of time, how could they provoke the Ghost Sword Sect. It turned out that the Blood Wolf Sect was secretly causing damage.

“We have no real proof that it is the Ghost Sword Sect, their operation is very clean. During this period, the Lin Family and the Ghost Sword Sect had fought, and the other party firmly denied that it was their doing. Several factions observed from the side, ever since the news of our Lin Family having the Yang Yuan stone quarry spread, it has attracted many gazes of ill intent. * Sigh*, the situation is now too chaotic, these people are waiting for our Lin Family to become tired before they enter for easy transport ... "

“Yesterday, the Blood Wolf Gang sent a message that they can take over and mediate between us. Huh, everything happened because of them, and now they seem like samaritans. Do they really think we're stupid?” Lin Xia angrily said. Clearly, he was somewhat annoyed by the Blood Wolf Gang's despicable methods.

Lin Dong lightly nodded his head. Deep in his eyes, a cold light appeared. It seemed, even though he had killed Wei Tong before, it was still not enough to allow the Lin Family to establish themselves in Yan City. Of course, the biggest contributor to this was naturally the existence of the Blood Wolf Gang. As long as they treated the Lin Family like thorns in their eyes, the other factions would not dare to be too close to the Lin Family.

After all, the difference in strength between the two was simply too great. The intimidating power of the perfect Yuan Dan stage was truly unusual.

“Today, grandfather and the others have brought the Lin Family troops to the square in Yan City for negotiation. Fortunately, the members of the Thousand Gold Association had also left. ”

"The Thousand Gold Association has also left." After hearing this, Lin Dong gently sighed in relief. Although the Ghost Sword Sect might not be afraid of the Thousand Gold Association due to the support of the Blood Wolf Guild, it would at least hold them back a little, so they would not dare openly bully the Lin Family by force.

"The reputation of our Lin Family in Yan City is still not enough ..." Lin Dong pursed his lips as the corner of his mouth lifted to form a cold smile.

“You all stay here at the estate. Don't comeout. Little Flame, stay with the family. As for the others, leave it to me. ”

Lin Dong calmly spoke before suddenly turning his body. He was now annoyed by the method of the Blood Wolf Guild. Since he was unable to dispose of the Blood Wolf Guild for the time being, he would get rid of the Blood Wolf Guild aide instead. He wanted to tell everyone in Yan City that when the Blood Wolf Gang pointed their weapons at the Lin Family, he would destroy everyone who came!

Faced with these ruthless wolf-like people, he could only use terrifying methods. Only then would he get their fear and fear!

As they stared at Lin Dong's back, Lin Xia and the others opened their mouths, but in the end, they could only obediently nod their heads. Currently, Lin Dong's influence within the Lin Family was practically comparable to Lin Zhentian's. Not mentioning the younger generation like them, even Lin Xiao and Lin Ken would not ignore Lin Dong's words.

Little Flame was currently already able to match Yuan Dan's early stage practitioner. By guarding the Lin Family, Lin Dong could feel calm as he left.

After exiting through the entrance, Lin Dong checked his direction before quickly rushing towards the city. A cold murderous gaze flowed in his eyes.

“The ghost knife of Gui Yan, my Lin Family is not the submissive you think. Since you hurt my father, I'll let you meet your maker!
