In the empty forest, a figure moved like a tiger, arms waving. Deep blue energy continuously emanated, causing a faint frost to form on the ground.
"Bang!"
A straight punch slammed into an innocent tree. The immense force shook the tree from the earth, sending it flying backwards, kicking up a cloud of mud.
"Well done!" Seeing Lin Dong finally reach the middle stage of the Earth Yuan Realm, Lin Changqiang exclaimed in admiration.
Compared to his spiritual power talent, Lin Dong's energy talent wasn't particularly exceptional. Therefore, to have advanced from the initial stage of the Earth Yuan Realm to the middle stage in just two months was quite remarkable.
Of course, the ancestral stone also played a significant role in this, but if both of them were using cheats, it would be the same as if neither of them were using cheats, right? (ω`)
"Changqiang, are you almost reaching the Heaven Yuan Realm?" Lin Dong's eyes fluttered as he looked at Lin Changqiang, a hint of curiosity lingering in his heart.
"I just reached the late stage of the Earth Origin Realm a few days ago. How could I break through so quickly? What do you think I am? A genius that only appears once in a century?" Lin Changqiang rolled his eyes at Lin Dong in annoyance, then looked at his personal information:
"Host: Lin Changqiang

"It will take at least one or two months to reach the Heaven Origin Realm." Lin Changqiang curled his lips in dissatisfaction. "This Qingyuan Gong is getting weaker and weaker. When we break through to the Heaven Origin Realm, we must go to the Trade Fair or Yancheng to see if we can get a better technique."
"Reaching the Tianyuan Realm in just a month or two—isn't that genius?" Lin Dong was a little confused by Lin Changqiang's definition of genius.
"Ah, after hiding it for so many years, you still found it. Truth cannot be hidden." Lin Changqiang thought to himself. He was even faster than Lin Dong, who possessed the Ancestral Stone. What was there to be dissatisfied about? He raised his eyebrows and smirked at Lin Dong. "Say it again~(￣▽￣～)~"
Lin Dong skillfully rolled his eyes and ignored Lin Changqiang. He wiped the sweat from his face and whistled into the forest. Immediately, a tiger's roar echoed from the deep woods.
Not long after, Xiao Yan flew out and appeared before the two of them. In just half a month, its size had increased significantly again, and slightly ferocious fangs had sprouted from its mouth. Now, Xiao Yan had begun to show a hint of his true power.
While Lin Dong was delighted by the changes in Xiaoyan, Lin Changqiang felt quite uncomfortable. Watching Xiaoyan grow increasingly ferocious day by day, and thinking of the dark-skinned, muscular man he would become three or four meters tall in the future, he felt even more exhausted.
"Changqiang, my father and the others will be back tonight. Do you want to come with me to inquire about Tiemu Manor?" Lin Dong suddenly looked at Lin Changqiang; he remembered that he had always seemed quite concerned about Tiemu Manor.
"No, you should go by yourself. You two father and son are chatting, so why would I interfere?" Hearing this, Lin Changqiang was also slightly delighted. With Tiemu Manor coming, they would have the Yang Yuan Stone. With the Yang Yuan Stone, they would have a chance of reaching the Tianyuan Realm.
Lin Dong nodded, whistled, and rushed out with Xiaoyan.
In the evening, just as Lin Changqiang finished dinner, he heard a slightly chaotic knock on the door. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately went to open the door. It was indeed Lin Dong.
"Changqiang, those bastards from the Lei family originally agreed to hand over Tiemu Village to my Lin family. But it has been a month and a half and they still haven't made any move. We sent people to urge them, but they avoided us!"
"How could it be?! The bet was made in front of countless people that day. The Lei family won't go back on their word, right? That's too shameless!" Lin Changqiang widened his eyes in feigned shock.

"They haven't said they're going back on their word, they've just been dragging their feet and refusing to hand over. Isn't that bullying an honest person?" Speaking of the Lei family's actions, Lin Dong was filled with disdain. "Father and the others are going to take people to Tiemu Village tomorrow. If they still don't agree, we'll just force our way in. After all, we're in the right in this matter!"
Lin Changqiang looked at Lin Dong helplessly, wondering why this kid just couldn't get to the point. With no other choice, he could only hint subtly, "Will you go tomorrow?"
"Of course I will." Lin Dong finally reacted and remembered why he was here. "By the way, Father asked me to ask you if you want to go with us tomorrow."
"Yes, why not? As martial artists, we don't mind a fight!" As soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, Lin Changqiang patted his chest with a righteous expression.
"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare. I'll call you tomorrow morning, and then we'll meet at the Lin family's gate." With that, Lin Dong immediately stood up and left.
Watching Lin Dong's retreating figure, Lin Changqiang quickly closed the door, donned his costume, and lay down on the bed, checking the system's newly popped-up message.
"Dong, congratulations to the host for triggering the side quest: The Lei family is secretly sabotaging Tiemu Manor. This is too much! They must be expelled!
Success will reward you with three lucky draw entries. Failure will deduct one."
...
The next morning, dozens of fine horses lined up in front of the Lin family's main gate. Riding their mounts were the family's best warriors, led by Lin Xiao and Lincoln, two Tianyuan Realm masters.
Among the steeds, Xiao Yan, with his blazing body, stood out. Lin Dong was currently perched on Xiao Yan's back. Now, nurtured by the ancestral stone Jin Ke La, Xiao Yan was already capable of serving as a mount, and his stamina surpassed even that of ordinary horses.
Lin Changqiang, riding his horse, looked envious. It wasn't that Lin Dong didn't want him to ride, but he simply felt it was strange for him and Lin Dong to ride Xiao Yan together.
"Let's go!"
After counting the number of people, Lincoln whipped his horse whip without hesitation and led everyone to gallop out of Qingyang Town.
Tiemu Village is rich in a kind of wood that is as hard as fine iron and is not afraid of water or fire. The wood is thick and heavy, which is very suitable for making weapons or building materials. Therefore, the price of this ironwood is quite high.
In addition, within a radius of 100 miles, only Tiemu Village is rich in this kind of wood. Therefore, over the years, the Lei family has made a lot of money relying on the industry of Tiemu Village.
After a morning of running around, everyone finally arrived at a slope outside Tiemu Village at noon.
On the slope, everyone could clearly see that at the end of the avenue, there was a vast manor. The manor was so large that it was as far as the eye could see. Only
by looking far away could one vaguely see the black giant tree deep in the manor. That was the ironwood.
Lincoln narrowed his eyes, staring at the tightly closed gate, a frown forming. "The gate is tightly closed and heavily guarded. It looks like this trip won't go smoothly..."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly. With a wave of his hand, the Lin family members behind him immediately went on alert. A clanging sound echoed, and swords gleaming with cold light were grasped in their hands. Each of their faces was grim, and a faint murderous aura rose in the air.
Lin Changqiang and Lin Dong, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, the battles he had experienced were nothing compared to this life-and-death struggle.
"Yan Shuangying, take two people to protect Dong'er and Changqiang. The rest of you follow me!"
