WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 68: Black Dragon Stock

“It is undeniable that this journey will not be as smooth as the previous one. Based on my sources, this Yang Yuan Stone batch has attracted some hungry wolves ... "In the large hall inside the Steel Wood Manor, Lin Zhentian solemnly said with a solemn expression on his face as he looked at Lin Xiao and the others.

"Oh? Could it be that the Lei Family has decided to make a move? ” After hearing his words, the facial expressions of Lin Xiao and the others changed slightly.

“Heh, that cunning old fox Lei Bao won't just move. Based on my information, the people eyeing our current Yang Yuan Stone batch should be from "Black Dragon Stocks"." Lin Zhentian chuckled grimly as he said.

"Black Dragon Stok?"

As soon as this name entered their ears, even Lin Dong, who was standing beside him, could not help but furrow his brows. There were several groups of bandits located within a thirty mile radius of Qingyang City, and "Black Dragon Stok" was one of the most famous among them. This group of bandits was notoriously ruthless and heartless and the two leaders in the "Black Dragon Stoke" were reported to be on the Heavenly Yuan Stage. Hence, the duo's name caused quite a great fear throughout Qingyang City.

“How does the Black Dragon Stock know that we are transporting a large shipment of Yang Yuan Stones? They should also know that our Lin Family is a formidable enemy.” Lin Xiao said. In the past, their Lin Family did not cross paths with this bandit group. Why did the Black Dragon Stock suddenly decide to target them?

“Heh heh, I suspect the Lei Family may be involved in this matter. Our recent activities seem to have raised their suspicions ... "Lin Zhentian chuckled as he replied.

"Father, so what do you mean that the Black Dragon Stock is likely being urged by the Lei Family?" On one side, Lin Ken and Lin Mang's expressions darkened as they said.

“Based on my understanding Lei Bao, this may be the problem.”

Lin Zhentian lightly nodded his head, however, his gaze gradually turned cold before he muttered: “I will personally be responsible for this trip like before. Lin Xiao and Lin Mang would come along while Lin Ken would stay to guard the Steel Wood Manor. I want to see for myself whether this Black Dragon Stock actually dares to move against my Lin Family! ”

"Yes!" After hearing his orders, Lin Xiao and Lin Mang immediately replied.

“Dong-er, you shouldn't have followed us for this trip. Stay still at Steel Wood Manor.” After finishing his instructions, Lin Zhentian told Lin Dong. Potentially great battles were possible during this journey and although Lin Dong currently had the strength to protect himself, it would be safer for him to stay in the Steel Wood Manor.

After hearing Lin Zhentian's instructions, Lin Dong could only nod his head.

"Time is very important, I want you two to immediately gather the rest of the power!"

"Yes!"

Lin Xiao and Lin Mang nodded again before they stood up and left. Immediately after, the rumbling sounds of horse hooves could be heard. The low echo sounded similar to the arrival of a thunderstorm.

…

Above the wall of the manor, Lin Dong stared at the large entourage that was leaving the manor. Under the watchful eye of the guards, yellow dust mixed together as they drove towards the main road.

"I hope you'll all come back safely."

Lin Dong gently sighed. He could feel the tense atmosphere in his Lin Family. Due to that tension, even members of the younger generation became more serious.

"Don't be afraid, with Grandfather personally taking the lead, I doubt that the Black Dragon Stockage will dare to attack them!" As if he knew the worries of his nephew, on one hand, Lin Ken smiled as he comforted Lin Dong.

"Yes." Yeah."

“Today, Lin Xia and Lin Hong were both at the Steel Wood Manor. You have to go and play with them. Don't worry about this, adults will take care of it. ” Lin Ken patted Lin Dong on the shoulder before he turned around and instructed: “I want everyone to be alert. Even if it's just the wind blowing, sound the alarm immediately! Under no circumstances would you allow a suspicious looking person to enter the place! ”

"Yes sir!"

After Lin Ken shouted his orders, several replies from the crowd on the tall manor wall sounded in response. As the glittering sunlight shone down, the entire manor became extremely vigilant.

"Lin Dong - Ge."

As they saw Lin Dong walking, everyone straightened their waists as they greeted him excitedly. Right now, Lin Dong held an important status in their hearts.

"Huh, you're really impressive now." In front of Lin Dong, Lin Xia stood with his hands on his slender waist as he pouted and said.

"Lin Xia-jie, please don't tease me." As he looked at the elegant young lady in front of him, Lin Dong helplessly replied with a sad smile.

“Heh.” As she looked at Lin Dong's reaction, Lin Xia involuntarily laughed. Then he waved his tiny, snow-white hand and began to sit himself on a nearby rock before he continued: “Alright, alright. I'm not gonna tease you anymore. Do you think Grandpa and the others will face a lot of problems this time?”

As he finished his question, an expression of anxiety appeared on the young lady's cheeks. He could definitely feel the tense atmosphere in the manor and although he had always lived under the protection of the family, he clearly knew how ruthless this power struggle was.

Lin Zhentian and the others were the backbone of their Lin Family. If anything were to happen to them, this family would definitely fall apart. At that time, it would be difficult for them to seek the slightest peace.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Lin Dong sighed in his heart. He looked at the anxious faces on Lin Xia and the other members of the younger generation and subconsciously bit his lips. If the Lin Family currently had a Yuan Dan practitioner, they would definitely not have this worry. Simply put, true power is still the most secure currency.

After he heard the words comforting Lin Dong, Lin Xia's complexion became a little better. Immediately, he began to tell Lin Dong about some of the events that had happened in Qingyang City recently.

After they chatted cheerfully for quite a while, Lin Hong, who was nearby, suddenly walked over. He looked at Lin Dong and hesitated for a moment, before he finally said: “Lin Dong biao-di, when I was practicing martial arts, I had some difficulties. Do you think you can help me?"

Upon hearing his request, both Lin Dong and Lin Xia were stunned as they stared at Lin Hong in disbelief. This person had always been an arrogant individual, therefore they did not expect him to take the initiative and ask for Lin Dong's help.

“Of course, we are one family. Helping each other is natural.” Just as Lin Xia was worried that Lin Dong might reject Lin Hong because of their history, Lin Dong smiled as he gently nodded his head.

After hearing Lin Dong's kind-hearted reply, Lin Hong was also a little surprised as his face turned red. She was clearly embarrassed by her childish actions in the past.

"Lin Hong biao-ge, show me the martial arts you're practicing right now."

Lin Hong hurriedly nodded. Taking a step back, he had just positioned himself in a fighting position when the seated Lin Dong suddenly stood up. Just a moment ago, he wore a bright smile, but now his face had turned dark and terrifying.

"Lin Dong, what's wrong?" As she looked at her sudden change, on one side, Lin Xia was also startled as she asked.

"The problem…"

Lin Dong took a deep breath. Without bothering to explain, he immediately turned around and galloped towards the entrance of the manor, before finally jumping onto the wall of the manor. As he gazed into the distant horizon, he could see that at the end of that huge road, a huge yellow dust storm suddenly swept out. The rumbling sound of horse hooves spread like waves towards them.

"What's that?"

Behind him, Lin Xia, Lin Hong, and even Qing Tan followed. However, as they stared at that yellow dust storm, alarm expressions immediately appeared on their faces.

“It was the people of Black Dragon Stockage. We've been duped. Their target was not Yang Yuan Stones that Grandfather had given him, but rather.. Steel Wood Manor!”.

On one side, Lin Dong had a dark expression on his face as he clenched his fists so tightly that crackling sounds could be heard. This time, if everything was not managed properly, their Lin Family would suffer greatly!
