22: Forcing the Lei family to retreat, Qingtan made a contribution!

Lei Ying arrived a step late and didn't know the specifics of Lei Shan's injury, thinking that Lin Xiao had cut off Lei Shan's leg.

Lin Xiao didn't try to explain, stating indifferently, "Your people attacked first. If you're not skilled enough, you deserve to be killed. Only breaking his leg was already showing mercy!"

"You..." Lei Ying was instantly furious upon hearing Lin Xiao's words.

"From now on, Tiemu Village belongs to my Lin Family. If you don't scram, do you want to have a spar with me?"

Lin Xiao directly interrupted Lei Ying, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he said coldly.

Lei Ying's face twitched upon hearing Lin Xiao's words.

However, thinking of Lin Xiao's Late Stage Heavenly Yuan Realm strength that he had just displayed, he could only swallow his anger.

"Hehe, since your Lin Family is so interested in Tiemu Village, then we'll give it to you!"

"Everything you've taken from my Lei Family today, my Lei Family will take back one by one in the future! Including the revenge for Lei Shan's severed leg!"

Lei Ying's expression flickered for a moment, then he suddenly let out a cold laugh. With a wave of his hand, he led the Lei Family members and turned to leave.

Next, Lin Ken and Lin Xiao instructed everyone to carefully inspect the Tiemu Forest Domain.

Seeing that most of the Tiemu Forest Domain had been destroyed, and even the soil quality of the ground was largely damaged, they were instantly filled with shock and anger.

But in the end, they could only temporarily swallow their anger.

After all, their strength was temporarily insufficient to completely take down the Lei Family.

Lin Xiao sent someone back to the Lin Family to report what had happened here to Lin Zhentian.

After Lin Zhentian learned of the changes at Tiemu Village, he arrived at Tiemu Village with his men in less than half a day.

Looking at the utterly destroyed Tiemu Forest Domain, Lin Zhentian's face turned ashen, and he let out an angry roar.

Behind the crowd, Qing Tan, who had come with Lin Zhentian and the others, heard Lin Zhentian's angry roar. She couldn't help but shrink her head and whispered to Lin Fan:

"Lin Fan Ge, Grandpa is so scary today!"

"Be careful, Grandpa might hear you," Lin Fan chuckled, scaring Qing Tan, then said, "Let's go, let's wander around. Don't stay here and get into trouble."

"Mhm, mhm," Qing Tan quickly nodded in agreement.

Immediately, Lin Fan led Qing Tan and quietly withdrew from the crowd, heading deeper into Tiemu Village.

Qing Tan's Fire Python Tiger, Huoer, also followed behind them, like a large Tibetan Mastiff.

Tiemu Village was very large, and the scenery was quite beautiful.

If it weren't for the faint stench coming from all around, Tiemu Village might have been an excellent summer retreat.

Lin Fan and Qing Tan chatted as they ventured deeper into Tiemu Village.

"Lin Fan Ge, why do I feel that the temperature here is higher than outside?"

As the two were casually wandering, Qing Tan suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" Lin Fan's eyebrows twitched slightly upon hearing this. He said calmly, "Let's continue deeper. Try to sense if the temperature continues to rise."

Qing Tan possessed an extremely terrifying Yin Sha Qi within her body, making her extremely sensitive to the temperature of the world.

In the original work, it was also Qing Tan who discovered the abnormal temperature, which caught Lin Dong's attention, and only then did they discover the Yang Yuan Stone Mine.

"Okay," Qing Tan agreed without hesitation, though she didn't understand why.

Next, the two people and one beast sped up, constantly rushing deeper into the dense forest.

More than half an hour later, Lin Fan and Qing Tan finally stopped, as they seemed to have reached the end of this forest.

A slightly sunken valley appeared in Lin Fan's line of sight.

In that valley, there were two black shadows, which were Black Iron Demonic Leopards!

I almost forgot, as long as we find the valley where the Black Iron Demonic Leopards are, we won't be far from finding the Yang Yuan Stone Mine.

Looking at the two Black Iron Demonic Leopards in the valley, Lin Fan's eyebrows raised slightly as he thought to himself.

Lin Fan reached out and grabbed a handful of the damp ground, finding that it indeed carried a trace of Yang Qi. "Lin Fan Ge, I'm so hot!"

As Lin Fan was lost in thought, Qing Tan, who was beside him, said with some discomfort.

At this moment, sweat poured down Qing Tan's delicate cheeks; she felt as if she had entered a furnace.

"Let's go, we're going back!" Seeing this, Lin Fan directly pulled Qing Tan and turned to return the way they came.

On the way back, Lin Fan smiled and said to Qing Tan, "This time, you've rendered a great service."

Qing Tan asked curiously, "How come I don't know what great service I've rendered?"

Lin Fan smiled slightly and explained the matter of the Yang Yuan Stone Mine to Qing Tan.

Qing Tan was immediately surprised and delighted. "Lin Fan Ge, are you saying that the reason I felt so hot just now was because there's a Yang Yuan Stone Mine underground in that area?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Although we haven't dug out the Yang Yuan Stone Mine yet, it should be correct."

Qing Tan said expectantly, "I hope we can really dig out a Yang Yuan Stone Mine."

"Hmm, let's go back and find Third Uncle and Grandpa first, and take them to try digging," Lin Fan smiled.

When Lin Fan and Qing Tan returned to the main hall of Tiemu Village, Lin Zhentian had already suppressed his anger and was preparing to arrange for people to clean the chemicals from the soil, trying his best to salvage the soil quality.

When Lin Zhentian learned from Lin Fan that a Yang Yuan Stone Mine might have been discovered, his eyes immediately turned red with excitement. "What did you say? A Yang Yuan Stone Mine?"

Lin Ken and Lin Xiao in the hall also suddenly changed their expressions upon hearing this.

They understood too well the terrifying value of a Yang Yuan Stone Mine!

Lin Fan said, "I carefully sensed it; that area has a lot of Yang Qi, and the Tiemu Village area was originally a volcanic zone. All these conditions are consistent with the presence of a Yang Yuan Stone Mine."

Lin Zhentian calmed down slightly upon hearing this. "So, you haven't confirmed the existence of the Yang Yuan Stone Mine?"

Lin Fan said seriously, "I think it's almost certain. If it weren't for the two Black Iron Demonic Leopards nearby, I would have started digging out the Yang Yuan Stone Mine myself and then come to report the good news."

Lin Xiao heard Lin Fan's words and said to Lin Zhentian, "Father, why don't we go and see the place Lin Fan mentioned first?"

"If we can dig out a Yang Yuan Stone Mine, that would naturally be best. Even if we don't, it's just a bit more effort."

"You're right, let's go to the place Lin Fan mentioned right now," Lin Zhentian nodded slightly upon hearing this, and said.

So, next, Lin Fan and Qing Tan, along with Lin Zhentian, Lin Ken, Lin Xiao, and Lin Dong, quickly rushed towards the entrance of the valley where the Black Iron Demonic Leopards were located.

"It really is Black Iron Demonic Leopards!"

Standing above the valley entrance, Lin Zhentian saw the two Black Iron Demonic Leopards in the valley at a glance, and his expression was also slightly solemn.

Lin Xiao asked Lin Fan, "Is the place you mentioned here?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Yes."

Upon receiving Lin Fan's confirmation, Lin Ken and Lin Xiao immediately grabbed shovels and quickly started digging in that area.

Lin Fan then leaned close to Lin Dong and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Try to sense it with the Stone Talisman; you should be able to find the target faster."

Lin Dong nodded silently upon hearing this, then put on an appearance of a curious child, constantly reaching out and feeling around.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Dong's eyes narrowed, as the Stone Talisman in his palm sent out a sensation.

"Father, let me help you dig for a while," Lin Dong's eyes darted around as he said to Lin Xiao, simultaneously reaching out to grab the shovel.

"You child," Lin Xiao cursed with a smile, but still let go of his hand.

Lin Dong then took the shovel and started digging at the location where the Stone Talisman had sensed something.

"Clink!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, and everyone's gaze instantly turned towards the source of the sound.
