The banquet at the Lin Mansion ended in a hurry, lasting less than half a day, but what happened at the banquet was extremely shocking!
As the guests left, the news spread quickly, soon shaking the entire city and spreading in all directions, causing an uproar.
Lin Tian destroyed the Liu family from thousands of miles away, and became famous. The name of the Lin family also officially entered the vision of the surrounding major forces. Although it had just opened its doors and built its mansion, it suddenly became a century-old family with a Dongxu realm master!
The Dongxu Realm is well-known and has great appeal. Many warriors come here to seek its favor. As a result, Wanyue City has experienced great development and its overall strength has been taken to a higher level.
With the help of the Feng family and the Yang family, the Lin family easily gained a foothold in Wanyue City. All of the original Shentu family's industries were controlled by the Lin family.
Moreover, in order to maintain long-term friendly relations with the Lin family, the two families even deliberately gave up some of their interests in the industries that had some overlap.
The Lin family's development gradually got on the right track.
Wanyue City now has four major families, among which the Lin family, the Yang family and the Feng family are sticking together, while the Luo family is obviously isolated.
However, the Luo family could not take care of these things for the time being. The young master was killed, and the whole Luo family was filled with gloom and sorrow.
There is no need for revenge, because the murderer has been killed by Lin Tian.
However, the heir of the Luo family was killed, and the qualified direct disciples were busy competing for the position of the young master of the family. The family was in internal strife and naturally had no time to care about other things.
The Lin family also gained the opportunity to rise rapidly.
Lin Tian didn't care about the specific family affairs, and left them all to Lin Qing and Ouyang Zhi.
The emergence of the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect gave him a new direction. If Yuwen Zhuo didn't want to become a useless person, he would definitely bring Gong Mengyao to find him. Then he would just have to follow the clues.
In addition, the Lin family's reputation has spread, and he has also demonstrated a certain degree of strength. If the Lin family's bloodlines scattered around the country get to know the news, they will surely come to join him.
Also, the mysterious force that is hunting down the Lin family's bloodline will definitely be unable to contain themselves after hearing the news about the Lin family. As long as they dare to show up, everything will be easy!
A murderous look flashed in Lin Tian's eyes. He was not afraid of the enemy coming, but he was afraid that the enemy could not hide!
That day, he was taking a walk in the bamboo forest of the Lin Mansion when Lin Qing suddenly came hurriedly.
"Grandfather! Disciple has something to report."
There was a hint of anxiety on Lin Qing's face.
Lin Tiandao: "What's the matter?"
Lin Qing said, "Today's portion of Shilixiang wasn't delivered on time. I asked someone to inquire and found out that the Shilixiang Restaurant had been shut down!"
"It was sealed off?"
Lin Tian was stunned: "Who did it?"
"The Rising Sun Dynasty!"
Lin Tian was even more puzzled. Wanyue City was a no-man's land and was not within the territory of the Rising Sun Dynasty. Why would the Rising Sun Dynasty do such an act of crossing the border?
Without waiting for Lin Tian to ask, Lin Qing took the initiative to explain, "I've already found out. A few days ago, Nangong Jian killed the Lord of Black Rock City, which was ruled by the Rising Sun Dynasty. He is now a wanted criminal and is being hunted all over the world. Since they haven't caught him yet, the dynasty sent people to seal off the Shilixiang Restaurant."
Lin Tian frowned slightly.
Instead of practicing the Zixiao Sword Technique, Nangong Jian actually went to Black Rock City to kill people. No wonder he hasn't been seen recently.
Will this kid become arrogant after getting the Zixiao Sword?
It's easy to kill the lord of a city, but it's not easy to mess with the Rising Sun Dynasty. It's a real big power in the Eastern Region. It has strong men in the Return to Origin Realm who can suppress the world. Nangong Jian can be turned into ashes in a minute. This is not the way to seek death.
Lin Tian asked, "Why did Nangong Jian kill the Lord of Black Rock City?"
Lin Qing said: "I don't know."
While the two were talking, Ouyang Zhi also learned the news and rushed over. He took up the topic and said, "Nangong Jian was originally from Black Rock City. It is said that he had a lot of wealth. Later, for some unknown reason, he came to Wanyue City to settle down. I guess he had a grudge with the Lord of Black Rock City, so he didn't hesitate to travel thousands of miles to kill him!"
Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about it. He caused the trouble himself, so he should solve it himself."
Ouyang Zhi hesitated to speak.
Lin Tiandao: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Ouyang Zhi said, "Two Earthly Realm envoys from the Rising Sun Dynasty have arrived, along with numerous expert guards. It doesn't look like they're simply trying to capture someone. Furthermore, those two Earthly Realm envoys just visited the Luo family, so I'm afraid they have other motives."
Lin Tiandao: "What's the purpose?"
Ouyang Zhi said seriously, "The Rising Sun Dynasty has long wanted to incorporate Wanyue City into its territory. They must have some ulterior motive in coming here this time."
"If my guess is correct, the envoys of the Rising Sun Dynasty will visit the four major families one by one, using coercion, bribery, or even seduction to win them over or suppress them, making them serve the dynasty and eventually become pawns of the dynasty, indirectly taking over the entire city. When the time is right, they will establish the City Lord's Mansion!"
Lin Tian was surprised and asked, "You see it so clearly?"
Ouyang Zhi said: "It's not that I see things clearly, but this is the way the Rising Sun Dynasty operates. Several free cities have fallen into the hands of the dynasty in this way before."
Lin Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Wanyue City does not need the City Lord's Mansion. If the Rising Sun Dynasty really has such an idea, I will talk to their emperor."
Talk to the emperor?
Lin Qing and Ouyang Zhi's hearts trembled.
The emperor of the Rising Sun Dynasty is famous throughout the world and is one of the most powerful people in the Return to Origin Realm. How can this be discussed?
Could it be...
The two looked at Lin Tian with fiery eyes.
Lin Tian's expression suddenly changed. He turned to look towards the gate of the Lin Mansion and said calmly, "Ouyang Zhi, it seems your guess is correct. The people from the Rising Sun Dynasty are here."
The two were startled and looked over subconsciously, but of course they couldn't feel anything.
Two Digang Realm envoys from the Rising Sun Dynasty, Meng Kui and Qin Yue, paid a very formal visit and handed over a visiting card, requesting to see Lin Tian.
However, Lin Tian is not someone who anyone can see. The Digang Realm is just a small fry to him, and he doesn't want to pay any attention to him at all.
The reception hall of the Lin Mansion.
Lin Qing and Ouyang Zhi entertained the two distinguished guests.
"Where's Lin Tian? Why didn't I come out to see us?"
Meng Kui and Qin Yue looked a little unhappy.
The two men called themselves envoys to the outside world, representing the face of the dynasty. They were guests of honor wherever they went, and they had just been treated with preferential treatment in Luo Mansion.
I thought that the Lin family would also lower their stance to curry favor with me, but I didn't expect to be poured a bucket of cold water on my face. The Lin family actually sent out two little Karami to deal with the matter.
The visiting card clearly stated that he wanted to see Lin Tian, but he was ignored.
This made the two of them very unhappy.
Especially Meng Kui, he looked at his tightly bandaged right palm and felt waves of pain. He was already extremely irritable, and now he felt treated coldly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Lin Qing said unhappily, "I respect you as guests coming from afar, and I hope you will respect the Lin family. Addressing the Lin family's ancestor by name is a bit too presumptuous, isn't it?"
"Ancestor?"
Meng Kui sneered, "That's the ancestor of your Lin family. What does that have to do with us? Why can't we just call him by his name? Besides, I heard that Lin Tian is just a young brat. He has the strength, but he doesn't know his place. He's so arrogant that he calls himself the ancestor. It's really laughable."
