20: Lei family's actions, decisive action!

Not long after, Lin Xiao, along with Lin Fan and Lin Dong, arrived at the Lin Family's inner courtyard and found Lin Zhentian.

Lin Xiao didn't hesitate and recounted Lin Fan's speculation to Lin Zhentian.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhentian was immediately furious and shocked, "Damn it, those bastards from the Lei Family are too much!"

"The Lei Family's plan, I'd say there's a ninety percent chance it's the same as Lin Fan's speculation. How could we not have thought of it? A few adults are not as insightful as a child like Lin Fan."

Lin Fan said, "I was just making a wild guess based on the Lei Family members' personalities; it might not be accurate."

Regarding this matter, Lin Fan had also hesitated for a long time, ultimately deciding not to reveal the Lei Family's plans too early.

Instead, he only put forward this speculation after the Lei Family had delayed for some time.

On one hand, Lin Fan didn't want too many people to know that he could foresee the future.

On the other hand, Lin Fan was concerned: if Tiemu Village hadn't been destroyed, would the Yang Yuan Stone Mine still be discovered?

Compared to the Yang Yuan Stone Mine, losing some Tiemu Village was not a big deal.

Lin Zhentian heard Lin Fan's words and said, "Regardless of whether it's true or false, this matter cannot be delayed any longer! Lin Xiao, go immediately and call your elder brother. You two, together with some men, rush to Tiemu Village and take it over by force!"

"Alright," Lin Xiao replied, then immediately turned to call Lin Ken.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong also proposed to go to Tiemu Village with Lin Xiao and the others.

When Lin Zhentian learned that Lin Dong was already at the Earthly Yuan Realm Middle Stage, and Lin Fan had even broken through to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, he was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

Thus, Lin Ken and Lin Xiao, leading dozens of Lin Family experts, rode their steeds and quickly rushed towards Tiemu Village.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong, on the other hand, rode on Xiao Yan's back, moving much faster than the steeds.

When the group arrived at Tiemu Village, they found the main gate tightly shut.

Lin Ken narrowed his eyes and said, "The village gate is shut; it seems things won't go too smoothly!"

Lin Xiao also nodded slightly upon hearing this, waving his hand to signal the Lin Family contingent to prepare for battle.

In an instant, the dozens of Lin Family members all drew their swords, and a series of "clanging" sounds echoed in the air.

Lin Dong, standing to the side, watched this scene, clenching his fists, appearing somewhat nervous.

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we arrived unexpectedly, and the Lei Family was caught off guard; it's impossible for them to have all their experts here. Even if a fight breaks out, we are sure to win."

"Qin Ying, take two men to support Lin Fan and Lin Dong," Lin Xiao ordered in a low voice, then cracked his horsewhip and led dozens of Lin Family members, charging towards the tightly shut Tiemu Village gate.

Although Lin Fan and Lin Dong were not weak, Lin Xiao was concerned about their lack of experience, so he specifically arranged for a few people to support them.

Although it wasn't necessary, Lin Fan did not refuse Lin Xiao's good intentions.

"Halt, intruders! This is the Lei Family Estate; outsiders are not permitted to enter!"

As Lin Xiao and his group reached the gate, many cold glints appeared on the towering courtyard wall, and a Lei Family leader shouted at Lin Xiao and the others.

"Have your steward come out! Today, our Lin Family is here to take over Tiemu Village!"

Lin Xiao, on horseback, his deep voice, like thunder, resonated throughout the entire Tiemu Village area.

No sooner had his voice fallen than two figures flashed out from the courtyard wall of Tiemu Village, and a mocking voice followed,

"Hehe, Lin Xiao, if you want to take over Tiemu Village, then go to the Lei Family first to exchange the paperwork, and then come back. Without the paperwork, it's very difficult for us!"

"Lei Nuo, Lei Ying!"

Upon seeing these two, Lin Ken and Lin Xiao both frowned slightly, because both of them were Lei Family experts at the Heavenly Yuan Realm.

Immediately, the two sides engaged in a war of words in front of the Tiemu Village gate.

"Brother Lin Fan, don't you think something feels a bit off?" At the back of the group, Lin Dong suddenly flashed his gaze and whispered to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan nodded slightly and said, "You mean, are they trying to stall for time?"

"It's very possible," Lin Dong, having received Lin Fan's affirmation, became even more convinced of his judgment.

Immediately, Lin Dong suggested that Qin Ying lead them to infiltrate Tiemu Village from another location to investigate the situation first.

Qin Ying hesitated slightly, but considering the strength of Lin Fan and Lin Dong, he ultimately agreed.

He waved and summoned two brothers to guard Lin Fan and Lin Dong, then left the group.

The group of five people and one beast swiftly moved through the forest.

Before long, they successfully infiltrated Tiemu Village.

After entering Tiemu Village, everything seemed very quiet.

"Let's go directly to the area where the Tiemu Village are planted and take a look," Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly as he suggested to Lin Dong and Qin Ying.

They, of course, had no objections.

Immediately, the group quickly headed towards the planting area of Tiemu Village.

Soon, they sneaked to their destination.

However, the area that should have had many Tiemu Village growing was now largely empty!

Only sections of black wooden stakes protruded from the ground, and looking at the broken parts of the stakes, there were many messy knife and axe marks, clearly indicating a hasty and brutal felling!

Not only that, but at this moment, many of the Lei Family's servants were frantically pouring basins of foul-smelling medicinal water onto this land, attempting to completely destroy the special soil suitable for Tiemu Village growth!

When Lin Dong and Qin Ying saw this scene, their faces immediately turned ashen.

"These dog bastards!"

Qin Ying couldn't help but curse through gritted teeth.

Lin Fan's expression, however, was relatively calm, and he said lightly, "Uncle Qin Ying, release the signal to notify my eldest uncle and third uncle."

Qin Ying said, "If we release the signal, we'll be discovered. How about we retreat first?"

In Qin Ying's impression, Lin Fan and Lin Dong were both at the Earthly Yuan Realm and had not experienced life-and-death battles, so he was somewhat uneasy about their combat abilities.

More importantly, Lin Fan and Lin Dong were the most outstanding Geniuses of the Lin Family, and he had reservations, worried that the two of them would be injured.

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "They are merely two Earthly Yuan Realm cultivators; the others are even less of a concern. We'll simply take them down directly."

Lin Dong heard this and immediately said, "Brother Lin Fan is right, Uncle Qin Ying, don't delay any longer. Our brothers won't do anything suicidal."

Seeing that both Lin Fan and Lin Dong said so, and considering the current situation, Qin Ying steeled his heart, gritted his teeth, and released the signal.

"Who's there?"

The signal released by Qin Ying quickly startled the Lei Family members. A grim-faced man leading them suddenly turned around, his eyes flashing with ferocity!

"I'll handle those two Earthly Yuan Realm cultivators. Lin Dong and Uncle Qin Ying, you two take two brothers and stop the others!"

Seeing that they had been discovered, Lin Fan didn't hesitate. He said a word to Lin Dong and Qin Ying, then immediately leaped from Xiao Yan's back and flew towards the leading man!

"Uncle Qin Ying, let's go help!" Lin Dong, seeing this, quickly shouted to Qin Ying, then patted Xiao Yan, who rapidly charged towards the crowd of Lei Family guards.

"Roar!"

Xiao Yan, while running, let out a low roar, which directly caused the Lei Family guards to fall into a panic.

Qin Ying watched Lin Fan and Lin Dong charge out first, not daring to delay, and immediately led two brothers to quickly join the battle...
