Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 429: Chapter 252: Qin Xi’s Provocation_1

Golden Horn Mountain Clan Territory.

Inside a secret chamber, Lin Tianming sat cross-legged with a jade bottle haphazardly toppled over in front of him on the ground.

Above his head, the Thousand Beast Banner hung in mid-air, rapidly spinning as he hammered it with Law Decrees, one after another.

Time was difficult to track, but eventually, a flash of light sparked, and the banner of the Thousand Beast Banner glinted with golden light, followed by the sounds of demonic beasts’ roars.

At that moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the brightly shining Thousand Beast Banner, a satisfied smile on his face.

He had been in secluded meditation for more than twenty days, refining the Thousand Beast Banner during the day and taking elixirs to cultivate at night. After more than twenty days, he had sealed all the monster beast souls he had into the Thousand Beast Banner.

As the number of monster beast souls increased, including the souls of nine second-order Cedar Beasts, the power of the Thousand Beast Banner surged insanely.

By his estimation, the current power of the Thousand Beast Banner was at least more than twice as strong as before.

Such an increase in power was beyond his expectation and pleasantly surprising.

Yet this was a good thing; with such a boost, the Thousand Beast Banner, combined with the Earth Fiend Sword Formation, would make him even more formidable in battle.

Regaining his focus, he waved a single hand and caught the Thousand Beast Banner that hung above his head, then fondled it lovingly.

After a moment, he collected the disarrayed jade bottles in front of him and then stepped out from the secret chamber.

It wasn’t long before he arrived at Lin Xingrong’s cave dwelling.

Upon hearing of his emergence from seclusion, Lin Xingrong came out of his secret chamber, summoned Lin Tianfeng as well, and the three of them sat in the small courtyard, drinking tea, chatting leisurely and exchanging news about recent developments.

According to Lin Tianfeng, over these past twenty days, Golden Horn Mountain had been lucky to remain calm and peaceful.

Despite occasional small-scale demonic beast attacks on the clan territory, these beasts were not in large numbers and were easily slaughtered by Lin Tianfeng leading some of the clansmen or driven away from around the territory.

Lin Tianming was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected that after encountering the Golden Fang Beast Clan and a fierce battle that left them severely wounded, they would disappear without a trace.

He had anticipated that in the near future, other large groups of second-order demonic beasts would attack, but instead, they hadn’t encountered any demon beasts of considerable strength.

Unless led by a second-order late-phase demon beast or in overwhelming numbers, second-order demonic beasts posed no real threat to Golden Horn Mountain Clan Territory.

Refocusing, Lin Tianming asked, “Father, Brother, this beast tide feels a bit strange… After the first wave of strong demonic beasts, the rest seem to get weaker, and it’s unclear where they have gone.”

“Indeed!” Lin Tianfeng nodded and continued.

“It’s too strange. I stayed near the mountain gate for nearly two months and, aside from encountering a group of over a hundred beasts led by a first-order demon beast that attacked our clan territory ten days ago, we haven’t seen any other groups of powerful beasts.”

“Since the largest demon beast tribe was not very strong, there was no need to disturb you.”

“I led the team myself, and with the help of our clansmen, we easily defeated this beast tribe. That second-order initial stage beast was severely wounded by me. Had that creature not fled so quickly, it would have surely died at Golden Horn Mountain.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xingrong was also surprised. After regaining his composure, he inquired, “How are the casualties among our clansmen?”

“No one has fallen; only four clansmen suffered severe injuries. However, they should recover with some time spent in secluded cultivation!” Lin Tianfeng replied.

Lin Tianming and his father both nodded, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Tianfeng was still quite prudent in his actions. Since he had led the clansmen into battle alone, he must have been fairly confident; otherwise, he wouldn’t have initiated an attack that would result in pointless sacrifices among their people.

Returning to the matter at hand, Lin Xingrong said, “This beast tide is indeed strange. It might be that the Luoyun Mountain Range is more remote, so the density of demonic beasts is lower here.”

“Or perhaps the demon beast army has gathered them together to attack the more powerful families and clans!”

“Or they’re conserving power, readying themselves for an even larger attack in the near future!”

Hearing this, Lin Tianming pondered for a moment before responding, “Father’s predictions are quite likely!”

“Given the massive scale of the demonic beasts, it shouldn’t be this simple. Although Wei Kingdom is not the epicenter of the demonic beast outbreak, such a mild response is indeed unexpected.”

“Yes… it’s been too quiet lately, eerily quiet!” said Lin Tianfeng.

Lin Xingrong nodded and then declared, “No matter the reason, we will meet the challenges as they come. We must remain vigilant at all times, and keep up with our scouting and defense protocols!”

“Father’s right, the more it stays like this, the less we should relax, and the more cautious we need to be.”

“Tomorrow, I will go out for a thorough inspection and scout for new information; you and Brother continue guarding the clan territory!”

“Good… With your absence, we haven’t expanded our scouting range for a while, and it’s time for a detailed survey,” Lin Xingrong replied.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming chuckled and then said:

“Then it’s decided; I will set out early tomorrow morning, scouting as thoroughly as possible, and I’ll inform you both immediately if there are any developments!”

“Hmm… If there’s nothing else, let’s prepare to depart,” Lin Xingrong said.

Waving his hand, Lin Tianfeng and Lin Tianming got up, bowed, and then left their father’s cave dwelling together.

…

On the next day at dawn, with the morning glow already risen, Lin Tianming walked out of his dwelling into the streets paved with blue stone.
