Upon receiving the command, a group of Qi Refining Cultivators sprang into action, each beginning to clean up the battlefield.

Soon, the corpses on the field were cleared, and anything of use was collected by the people.

Lin Xingyuan gathered everyone together, and after half a day of recovering from injuries and replenishing Spiritual Power, once more than seventy to eighty percent was restored, they continued to explore the surroundings.

…

Qianchuan Market.

In a valley outside the market, three men in green robes were using Sword Flight, sweeping over the mountaintops.

The trio were Lin Family Members. With Lin Xingrong staying behind in the Luoyun Mountain Range to aid the family in resisting the potential beast tide, those in the market were unaware of the situation.

Therefore, Lin Xingmin and two others were arranged by Lin Shihua to head to Qianchuan Market to join forces with family members stationed there, on one hand to convey the arrangements on their side, and on the other to gather intelligence regarding the beast tide.

Should there be any significant developments, they needed to relay the information back to the family at the first opportunity.

After nearly twenty days of travel, with the sight of the vast city beginning to loom, Lin Xingmin breathed a sigh of relief.

Being assigned this task at such a critical juncture carried no small risk for the three of them. Were they to encounter a large group of Demonic Beasts, they faced the risk of perishing.

With the precise map left by Lin Xingrong, their luck had been good. Along the way, they only encountered a few First Order Middle Stage Demonic Beasts, which they managed to kill with ease using their Qi Refining Eighth and Ninth Level strength.

As they drew closer to Qianchuan Market, they descended from the sky and walked toward the market entrance.

Soon, after paying the Spirit Stones as an entrance fee, the three of them smoothly entered the market.

Walking on the cobblestone streets, they did not rush to Luoyun Pavilion or the Lin Family’s Cave Mansion Courtyard.

Lin Xingmin observed the situation within the market to gauge the reactions of the Zhenyang Sect and other Foundation Establishing Families.

After observing for a while, they went to the Welcoming Guest Tower, where the flow of people was heavy, and all kinds of individuals were present, making the information here extremely well-connected.

Through his meticulous observation and the topics of casual conversations among passersby, he also gleaned some useful information.

Currently, everything in Qianchuan Market was normal, with all major shops still conducting business as usual, and the market’s ins and outs were no different from ordinary times.

Perhaps some clan powers had also speculated that a beast tide might occur, but most clans did not take this matter to heart.

Families reacting as the Lin Family had were even rarer; clearly, the vast majority of clan powers weren’t concerned, focusing on their cultivation without planning any preemptive measures.

It was not until evening that the three of them left the Welcoming Guest Tower and headed towards the Lin Family’s Cave Mansion Courtyard.

At this time, Lin Xinghuan was standing in the courtyard, while several other family members were sitting together, all with furrowed brows and very worried expressions.

In the silence of the atmosphere, a Tao Clan Member glanced at the pacing Lin Xinghuan and asked softly,

“Uncle… It’s been more than forty days since Uncle Xingrong left the market, and we haven’t seen him return. Could something have happened?”

Hearing this, Lin Xinghuan, already in a state of turmoil, had an even uglier expression.

When Lin Xingrong left the market, he had made it clear that he expected to return within a month.

However, it had been over a month since Lin Xingrong left, and he had yet to return, exceeding the expected time by almost ten days.

Without a Foundation Establishment Clan Member in the market to take charge, they were almost leaderless, and the lack of clear messages made them very worried.

Lin Xinghuan looked up at the southern night sky, knowing he needed to stay calm under the current circumstances and provide a sense of reassurance to the family members here.

With these thoughts in mind, he gradually calmed down.

Lin Xinghuan offered a confident smile and said, “It’s astronomy… Perhaps Twelve Brother got held up by some urgent business and that’s why he’s a few days overdue. Let’s wait patiently a bit longer; he may return tomorrow!”

“Yes… It’s only a matter of a few days, and currently, the market is very peaceful. No major events should occur, so let’s not add to our worries unnecessarily!” another Xing Clan Member chimed in.

Hearing the words of the two Xing Clan Members, everyone indeed relaxed, and their sorrowful expressions gradually returned to normal.

At that moment, a messaging token flew into the courtyard and steadily hovered in front of Lin Xinghuan.

He quickly read the contents, and his face lit up with joy. He hurriedly took out the Restriction Order Token and cast a Law Decree.

Soon, Lin Xingmin and the other two entered the Cave Mansion Courtyard.

Seeing Lin Xingmin, all the family members’ faces burst into elation—as if thinking of something would make it come true. Now that family representatives had arrived, their worries were alleviated.

Lin Xinghuan settled himself first, then after greeting them, he asked, “Xingmin, why have you come instead of Twelve Brother?”

“Twelve Brother is tied up with other important matters. Let us catch our breath first, and then I’ll explain everything in detail!”

Hearing this, Lin Xinghuan invited the three to sit down, then poured a cup of Spiritual Tea and waited quietly for Lin Xingmin’s explanation.

Subsequently, Lin Xingmin began to recount everything about the family’s arrangements and matters of the beast tide, also explaining their mission in coming to the market.

When they heard that the beast tide might be returning, Lin Xinghuan and the uninformed family members were utterly shocked.

They had only read about the beast tides in books, never imagining a phenomenon that occurred once every few centuries would be encountered by their generation.

Fortunately, the family had made some preparations in advance, accumulated a substantial amount of wartime resources, and had already formulated a thorough plan.
