Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate Chapter 2193: 1121: Fury (Part 2)

Once his cultivation realm has stabilized, the Lin Family's crisis will naturally dissolve on its own.

From here on out, with Lin Tianming's backing, the Lin Family will hold its ground firmly across Qingzhou territory, never to tumble.

This outcome is precisely what the Lin Family's elder generation yearns for.

To achieve this, Lin Shilu is prepared to stake it all.

With Lin Tianming finally out of seclusion now, events are unfolding just as planned.

How could Lin Shilu not be thrilled for this reason?

Lin Tianming, meanwhile, brimmed with gratitude and relief.

In this frame of mind, Lin Shilu's gaze toward Lin Tianming carried a subtle shift in emotion.

After settling his excitement somewhat, Lin Shilu nodded approvingly.

Yet at that instant, Lin Tianming glanced toward the Blood Red Alliance cultivator beyond and spoke first, “Fifteenth Grandfather, how long have Song Chufeng and his group lingered outside our clan lands?”

Hearing this, Lin Shilu realized Lin Tianming's keen curiosity, particularly regarding the Lin Family's present plight.

Thus, Lin Shilu promptly detailed everything—from Lin Xingrong's return with news of the Blood Red Alliance's stirrings, to Song Chufeng's arrival at the Lin Family Clan Grounds and their onslaught against the Mountain Gate.

Moreover, Lin Shilu shared with Lin Tianming every adjustment and preparation the Lin Family undertook over the past year, plus the Blood Red Alliance's utter destruction of the Yang Clan.

Learning of these developments, Lin Tianming felt a brief jolt of surprise before grasping the Blood Red Alliance's motives.

After all, their domineering ways were infamous.

Several Jinfeng Nation factions had joined the nation's turmoil and clashed with the Blood Red Alliance, forging deep enmity long ago.

In prior years, with the Ancient Demon Secret Realm's opening imminent, the Blood Red Alliance had held back understandably.

Now, five or six years after that realm expedition ended, they had time to strike back.

With hands freed, settling grudges against Jinfeng Nation's powers was inevitable.

Among Jinfeng Nation's Cultivation World forces today, the Yang Clan ranked as the feeblest.

For the Blood Red Alliance's assembled might, wiping out the Yang Clan was effortless, like autumn winds scattering leaves.

Assaulting the Liang Family or Lin Family head-on, however, wouldn't prove so straightforward.

At minimum, their current forces lacked total dominance.

Thus, kicking off with the Yang Clan in a thunderous sweep was entirely predictable.

This move not only erased one foe but maximized intimidation toward the rest.

The deterrence worked splendidly.

As a result, the Liang Family and Myriad Cultivators Alliance held back major reinforcements for the Lin Family.

Lin Tianming pieced these insights together from Lin Shilu's account.

Song Chufeng's conduct, though, caught him off guard briefly.

In Lin Tianming's eyes, Song Chufeng had boldly committed upon reaching the Lin Family Mountain Gate, unleashing relentless barrages on the Mountain Protection Array.

For over a month, Song Chufeng attacked nonstop, pausing only to replenish his True Essence Mana and avoid Lin Family surprises.

From this, Song Chufeng appeared swallowed by rage.

Yet upon deeper reflection, Lin Tianming guessed Song Chufeng suspected the Lin Family snagged a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item from the Ancient Demon Secret Realm.

Such a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item posed huge menace to enemies.

Even sans a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse, a Golden Core Grand Perfection Cultivator wielding one doubled the danger instantly.

Golden Core Stage experts alone weren't alarming; the dread stemmed from budding Nascent Soul potentials.

Should that foe ascend to Nascent Soul Stage, their peril would skyrocket.

Though the Blood Red Alliance boasted vast power overall, they dreaded nascent Nascent Soul threats deeply.

For the Lin Family especially, Song Chufeng had clashed directly with Lin Tianming's might.

In that fight, he endured heavy setbacks from Lin Tianming.

Since then, Song Chufeng knew the Lin Family's danger stemmed from Lin Tianming's battle prowess rivaling his own.

At times, even Song Chufeng couldn't fully overpower him.

This fact alone underscored Lin Tianming's horrifying aptitude and prospects.

Should Lin Tianming enter Nascent Soul Stage and solidify his realm, the Blood Red Alliance's peril would amplify.

After all, at Golden Core Great Perfection, he already matched Nascent Soul Early Stage foes without much disadvantage.

Breaking through to Nascent Soul with his gifts would render him utterly monstrous.

Then, forget Song Chufeng—even Nascent Soul Middle Stage's Chen Guanghua might fail to contain him.

Exactly thus, Song Chufeng grasped the Lin Family's menace, especially Lin Tianming's, driving his mad assault on the Mountain Protection Array.

His goal: halt Lin Tianming's breakthrough at all costs.

Besides, Song Chufeng sensed time's press; quicker the array's fall, smoother the Blood Red Alliance's victory.

Every delay swelled the Lin Family's threat.

In this light, Song Chufeng's ferocity made perfect sense.

With these thoughts, Lin Tianming fathomed Song Chufeng's headspace.

Hence, Lin Shilu's tale of the last one or two years' upheavals didn't shock Lin Tianming much.

From the foes' angle, such frenzy from the Blood Red Alliance was justified.

Grasping this, Lin Tianming could sympathize with Song Chufeng.

Still, fury burned in Lin Tianming.

Over years, the Lin Family bore crushing strain, a perpetual shadow in recent decades.

That shadow: the Blood Red Alliance.

Song Chufeng's siege on the Clan Grounds screamed intent to exterminate them.

The prior Yuxu Country border clash only fueled Lin Tianming's wrath further.

The Lin Family was Lin Tianming's Reverse Scale.

Any soul or faction daring to erase it trampled his limits.

With their grudge history, this ignited utter rage in him.

Though his expression stayed serene, Lin Tianming's core seethed.

Next, without wringing a horrific toll from the Blood Red Alliance, he'd fail the Lin Family's sacrifices and Lin Shilu's hopes.

Thus resolved, Lin Tianming eyed Song Chufeng beyond the array, gaze ablaze with infinite battle intent.

Thanks to the formation's veil, the enemies remained blind to Lin Family happenings inside.

In this setup, once Lin Tianming set on slaughter, Song Chufeng's crew faced doom.

Then, Lin Tianming scanned the gathered clansmen, settling on Lin Shilu.

Straightaway, he declared, “Fifteenth Grandfather, you've toiled relentlessly lately. Rest well now.”

“I'll head out, claim Song Chufeng's head personally, wipe out those Blood Red Alliance attackers on our Lin Family, and make the Blood Red Alliance pay dearly.”

With those words, ignoring Lin Shilu's reply, Lin Tianming sprang forth.

Silently, he vanished from the Lin Family Clan Grounds.
