Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Outside Luoyun Market, two figures swept across the sky and stopped atop a mountain.

Uncertain of the Jin Family's whereabouts, Lin Shilu dared not rashly enter the market. If his tracks were discovered, it could bring about some unnecessary trouble.

Standing on the mountain, he tried to observe the indistinct city walls in the distance, hoping to gather some information.

At that moment, several bursts of firelight scattered over the market, followed by the sound of booming explosions.

Lin Shilu's expression immediately tensed, as he attempted to guess what was happening.

"Could it be that the Jin Family has made a move against our people within the market?"

If the Jin Family emerged victorious after attacking the four major families, once they severely damaged the other families, the rule of the market forbidding private fights would likely not be adhered to.

After all, the rules of Luoyun Market were also set by the five major families. Having defeated the other four families, they would naturally want to annihilate them completely, so there would be no need to follow the rules.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, causing Lin Shilu to grow increasingly anxious.

"Xing Zhi, you stay nearby and hide. If I'm not back in half an hour, don't worry about me. Immediately go find Xing Rong and then head together to Qianchuan Market, understand?"

The more he worried, the less Lin Shilu could put his mind at ease, feeling an urgent necessity to ascertain the situation of his clan's territory. He had to find a way to get there and see for himself.

Hearing Lin Shilu's words, even Lin Xingzhi, as naive as he was, could guess some of the situation. The battle had spread to the market, certainly indicating the outcome of the clan conflict was clear, yet it was still unknown which side was victorious.

"Fifteenth Uncle, my heart is also with the family, so I won't dissuade you. My cultivation is too weak; I'd only slow you down. Please be very careful, and if anything happens, we will wait for you at Qianchuan Market."

A trace of worry appeared on Lin Xingrong's face as he gave his instructions in response.

"Hmm, be very cautious in everything!"

With that, Lin Shilu no longer lingered, running straight down the mountain and quickly towards the direction of the market.

Lin Xingzhi watched as Lin Shilu departed, then found a place to hide himself.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lin Shilu had nearly reached the market entrance.

By that time, the sound of explosions was echoing within the market, indicating a battle was still ongoing. The normally bustling entrance was now eerily quiet, without a single person in sight.

As he was observing, several figures successively darted out from the market entrance, some bearing injuries. As soon as they left the market, they fled towards the north without looking back.

Lin Shilu scrutinized the fleeing individuals carefully, they didn't look like Lin Family disciples. Moreover, why were the escaping figures heading north without a backward glance?

Soon after, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator also emerged from the market entrance and quickly pursued the fleeing figures.

"Xing Yuan!"

Seeing that the person was Lin Xingyuan, Lin Shilu understood at once. It was likely that the Lin Family had won the clan battle and was now hunting down the remnants of the Jin Family.

At that moment, the stone in Lin Shilu's heart finally dropped, and he broke into a radiant smile, laughing arrogantly and loudly.

Lin Xingyuan, busy with the pursuit, initially didn't notice Lin Shilu, who had changed his appearance. However, Lin Shilu, overwhelmed by excitement, revealed his true face, which then caught Lin Xingyuan's attention.

Seeing Lin Shilu, Lin Xingyuan was instantly overjoyed, calling out:

"Fifteenth Uncle, quickly kill the few who are fleeing; they are all from the Jin Family!"

In just a few breaths, the fleeing Lin Family members had scattered in different directions, with two of them already a thousand feet away.

Without hesitation, Lin Shilu joined Lin Xingyuan in the pursuit.

Several Qi Refining Cultivators, limited in speed, could not possibly escape from Lin Shilu of the Fourth Level of Foundation Building.

In half a breath, Lin Shilu caught up with the slowest fleeing Jin Family member, flicking his finger to release a Sword Qi that easily eliminated the Jin Family member, who was at the Seventh Level of Qi Refining, before continuing the chase after the others.

In no time, Lin Shilu had successively killed several people, leaving only one cultivator who had fled for several miles.

Lin Shilu flew after him on his sword, turning into a lingering shadow as he chased down the escapee.

The fleeing cultivator was called Jin Chaoyang, the person in charge of the Jin Family at the market, with the cultivation at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage.

Earlier that day, two Lin Family cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage had entered the market with several family members, launching a city-wide manhunt for all Jin Family members. The Jin Family's shops had long changed hands, and during the raid, more than a dozen of their kin were killed; only he and a few others had riskedly escaped.

At the moment, he was clueless, and too panicked to guess what had befallen the Jin Family, only thinking about escaping back to Golden Horn Mountain as quickly as possible.

Jin Chaoyang, already scared out of his wits, pushed his fleeing speed to the limit.

As Lin Shilu drew closer and closer, Jin Chaoyang's face grew paler, and in his panic, he threw out several First Order Superior Grade talismans, hoping to delay his pursuer.

Unfortunately, with the power of the Fourth Level of Foundation Building, these petty tricks were no obstruction at all.

As the distance closed to less than a hundred paces, Lin Shilu flicked his fingers repeatedly, shooting out strands of sword qi towards Jin Chaoyang.

Feeling the oncoming sword qi, Jin Chaoyang's face instantly lost all color, and he hurriedly took out a small spiritual shield to block in front of him.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

After several crisp sounds, small holes appeared in both the shield and Jin Chaoyang's body.

As he saw warm blood streaming from the holes in his chest, he simply could not believe this outcome.

Why had the Jin Family's years of plotting, their grip on the clan war, ended in such a tragic defeat?

Alas, no matter what, he could not figure it out.

With Jin Chaoyang falling unwillingly, Lin Shilu took his storage bag, then cast a fireball to burn the body before heading towards the market.

Before long, Lin Shilu and Lin Xingyuan returned to the market, walking on the main street.

By then, all had quieted down inside the market, and many Qi Refining Cultivators watched the Lin Family members vigilantly, wondering what they were up to.

Soon, the two reached the Hundred Treasures Building, where Lin Shigong was already waiting at the entrance.

After exchanging greetings, Lin Shigong began to inquire,

"Xing Yuan, did you manage to kill the fleeing members of the Jin Family?"

After Lin Xingyuan answered truthfully, Lin Shigong breathed a sigh of relief and then began to ask about the recent affairs of Lin Shilu.

Lin Shilu did not hide anything, starting from the grand competition in the market and swiftly moving to the events of their escape.

Although they had already learned about the entrapment and escape through Sun Dingfeng, hearing it from Lin Shilu's mouth made it all the more real.

Subsequently, Lin Shigong heard how Lin Shilu and three others stormed the Jin Family stronghold, slaughtered hundreds of their members, and took all of the Jin Family's wealth.

The two were already incredibly shocked, their expressions immensely rich.

Had they not known Lin Shilu wouldn't joke about such matters, they wouldn't have believed it.

After hearty laughter, Lin Shigong quickly regained his composure before recounting the battle of Green Bamboo Mountain, omitting the news of the deaths of Lin Shiji and others.

Learning about the battle at Green Bamboo Mountain, Lin Shilu was equally astounded.

Although he knew the Lin Family had an ace up its sleeve left by the ancestral Patriarch, he'd never witnessed its true power and couldn't guess whether it would be enough to contend with Jin Zhiying.

Little did he expect not only the total annihilation of the Jin Family, but also the slaying of Zhuang Zhenxin.
