Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 359: Chapter 220 Rescue, Search_2

At this moment, Lin Tianming’s expression gradually calmed down. He immediately ran to Lin Xing Luan’s side and thoroughly examined his injuries.

One after another, the clan members also gathered around, looking at Lin Xing Luan with concern without uttering a word.

After Lin Tianming’s examination, he furrowed his brows and then took out a Consolidating Essence Pill for him to swallow before laying him flat on the ground.

From the crowd, a clansman asked, “Tianming, how serious are Xing Luan’s injuries? Are they serious, and will they affect his cultivation path?”

Another clan member joined in, “Yes, Xing Luan got so seriously injured for our sake; he mustn’t be left with any hidden ailments.”

Hearing the clansmen’s concerned words, Lin Tianming helplessly shook his head. “Uncle Xing Luan’s injuries are severe. Not to mention the loss of an arm, the meridians inside his body have been damaged to varying degrees. Although it’s not fatal, it will be very difficult for him to make further progress.”

Hearing this, all the clansmen’s faces darkened. They had noticed the severity before but didn’t dare to believe it, clinging instead to the hope of a full recovery.

Since Lin Tianming, who had such discerning eyes, had said so, it was feared that Lin Xing Luan’s cultivation path would be difficult to advance further. Perhaps he could cultivate to Complete Qi Refining, but the difficulty of breaking through Foundation Establishment would be doubled, almost certainly ending in failure.

For a moment, all the clansmen showed a look of regret, but when they looked at Lin Xing Luan, a warm smile appeared on their faces involuntarily.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming instructed, “All fellow clansmen, start cleaning the battlefield immediately, bring back the remains of our deceased clansmen to rest in our clan’s land, and as for those Demonic Beast Materials, just take care of them along the way.”@@novelbin@@

After he spoke, the clansmen nodded and began to clean the battlefield.

Lin Tianming stood on top of a small hill, contemplating the origins and the whereabouts of the Iceflame Lion Tribe.

Just then, Lin Shikang and Lin Tianfeng came over, followed by a Purple Gold Eagle.

Seeing that Lin Tianfeng was safe and sound, aside from being pale and having some minor injuries, looking like he was overexerted, Lin Tianming immediately went up to greet the two of them.

“Big brother, are you alright?”

With a wry smile, Lin Tianfeng said, “Nothing too serious, just overexertion and some minor wounds. I was surrounded by two Second Order Initial Stage Iceflame Lions. If Third Grandfather hadn’t arrived just in time, I’m afraid I would have been left behind here.”

As Lin Tianfeng spoke, recalling the perilous scene, his expression showed fright.

At that time, when the formation was breached, he was surrounded and fought bitterly against the two Iceflame Lions while constantly being overpowered.

Fortunately, he had been through many fierce battles and had rich combat experience. In addition, the attack power of the Iceflame Lions was not too formidable, which allowed him to hold on until the rescue arrived.

Otherwise, if it had dragged on for half an hour and his Spiritual Power had been exhausted, he might have ended up in the maws of the demon beasts.

Thinking of these things, Lin Tianfeng wore an uncomfortable expression and said with regret, “It’s a pity that we still couldn’t protect the clansmen, leading to the loss of more than twenty in this battle.”

Hearing these words, Lin Shikang consoled, “Tianfeng, you’ve done your best. Those two Iceflame Lions were among the stronger Second Order Initial Stage Demon Beasts.”

“Especially the uninjured Iceflame Lion, its strength almost reached the level of the Second Order Middle Stage. You managing to protect yourself is already a success. As for the lower-cultivation clansmen, it truly was beyond help.”

Upon hearing this comforting response, Lin Tianfeng’s complexion finally improved.

On the side, Lin Tianming was pondering. They had just exterminated the Qilin Beast Horde and hadn’t had time to explore the surrounding area. When the family sent people to reclaim the land here, they had surveyed it, finding no trace of Second Order Demon Beasts within dozens of miles. Moreover, with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator leading, they had let down their guard.

But where did this massive Iceflame Lion Tribe come from?

Beasts of the Demon Beast Race generally didn’t leave their own territory, much less easily set foot in another demon beast’s territory. If it were a small demon beast tribe, or just a single beast or two, there might be wandering ones.

This Iceflame Lion Tribe was of moderate size and was likely a group that had long lived in the Luoyun Mountain Range. It could be that they just happened upon the territory whose owner had died, setting their sights on this land rich in Water Attribute Spiritual Power.

After much thought, he still couldn’t come up with any possibilities, so he could only speculate.

Lin Shikang, who was next to him, was also pondering this slightly eerie matter, and when he failed to come to a conclusion, he exchanged a glance with Lin Tianming, as if they were telepathically in sync.

Lin Tianming voiced his thoughts, “Third Grandfather, I always feel that this ambush was rather strange. For the sake of long-term safety, let’s have Tianfeng lead the clan back to the sect after a while. We’ll explore the nearby area to see if we can discover anything.”

Hearing this, Lin Shikang nodded in agreement and replied, “That’s exactly what I was thinking. Tianfeng, you and the Purple Gold Eagle take the clan back to the mountain. We’ll abandon this place for now and once we have thoroughly scouted the surroundings, we’ll make further plans.”

After receiving the instructions, Lin Tianfeng nodded and then sat down to meditate and recover from his injuries and spiritual power.

Half an hour later, Lin Tianfeng’s spiritual power had recovered somewhat, and the clansmen had also finished cleaning up the battlefield.

At this time, on the mountainous terrain, there were hardly any remaining traces, and the seriously injured Lin Xing Luan had also regained consciousness.

Lin Tianming and others approached to check on him, and seeing that his condition was temporarily stabilized, Lin Shikang uttered a few words of comfort before instructing the Purple Gold Eagle to lead the clan members back to Green Bamboo Mountain.

The two watched as the Purple Gold Eagle took off with the clansmen, flying towards the direction of Green Bamboo Mountain.

Lin Shikang shifted his gaze and said to Lin Tian Ming, “Tianming, let’s get moving, and scout out the Luoyun Mountain Range.”

After speaking, he took out his Golden Wind Sword and strode rapidly into the depths of the Luoyun Mountain Range.

Lin Tianming, not daring to be careless, had already experienced the demonic beasts in this mountain range. He drew his Tiangang Sword and held it in hand, stepping forward to follow Lin Shikang’s pace.

The two turned into two shadows leaping across the mountain tops and disappearing into the dense fog.

Time flew by, and two months had passed.

In the Luoyun Mountain Range, within a dense forest, the figures of Lin Tianming and another appeared.

They had reached the depths of the Luoyun Mountain Range, far from the Hanbing Mountain Range. By their estimation, they had ventured at least three hundred miles. Although they hadn’t reached the center of the range, they were not far off.

Having travelled this far, the two dared not venture any further. Going a hundred more miles forward, they might encounter Third Order Demon Beasts. Once confronted, even with Lin Shikang by their side, escape would likely be difficult.

The two stood atop a pair of large trees, scrutinizing their surroundings deep in thought.

In these two months, the two had traversed many peaks and crossed numerous rivers within the vast Luoyun Mountain Range. They had explored a large region and gathered basic information on various demonic beasts, which they recorded in a specially crafted book.

During this time, they had fought more than a dozen battles. Fortunately, with Lin Shikang’s Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation to back them up, they did not covet the Second and Third Order Spiritual Medicines—they were merely exploring. As such, no life-threatening battles occurred.

With their careful investigation, they discovered that the number of demonic beasts in the Luoyun Mountain Range had notably increased, and their overall strength had become stronger. There were quite a few tribes of Second Order demonic beasts, and they also found many Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beasts.

Lin Shikang had even had a few skirmishes with Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beasts. After brief encounters, he would take Lin Tianming and hastily retreat.

At this moment, Lin Shikang looked at the fog-enshrouded dense forest ahead and then said, “Tianming, going any deeper would be too dangerous. We have roughly scouted the situation in the Luoyun Mountain Range. Let’s head back.”

“Mm… This place is too dangerous, let’s immediately return to the mountain,” Lin Tianming nodded in response, aware of the peril. The central area could harbor the presence of Third Order Demon Beasts. Though their combined strength was nearly a match for any Second Order demonic beast, facing a Third Order would likely leave them with no chance of escape.

Thus, venturing any further would be too risky, and with their objective achieved, it was time to pull back.

Already in agreement, after a brief exchange, they turned around and hastened back along the route they had come from.
