Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 6 Qingyang Town

early morning.

The first rays of sunlight had just touched the earth.

Lin Langtian was already walking on the streets of Lin City.

Two middle-aged men followed closely behind him, never leaving his side.

With Lin Langtian's talent, he was already recognized as a genius within the clan.

It's perfectly clear that he will either succeed as the clan chief or become a respected elder within the clan in the future.

Its importance to the Lin clan is self-evident.

This is why the Grand Elder, even though he wasn't from Lin Langtian's faction, still protected him.

That is why the clan is so concerned about Lin Langtian's safety.

Even when they go out occasionally, it's usually with a large group.

The fact that we were able to leave the city smoothly this time was entirely thanks to Elder Mu...

Lincheng truly lives up to its reputation as one of the top cities in the Great Yan Dynasty; even though it was only just dawn, the streets were already packed with people.

Wherever they went, they found prosperity.

The place was bustling with noise, and city garrison soldiers occasionally passed by, their synchronized steps radiating an inexplicable pressure on the crowd.

The rest of the people in the city had already gotten used to it. Even when the city guards themselves walked by, they treated them as if they were nothing and remained calm.

Lin Langtian, on the other hand, watched the city defense troops slowly walk away with a curious expression.

He couldn't fathom the strength of any one of them.

Not to mention the middle-aged man leading the group, whose aura alone could give people a strange sense of unease just by looking at him from afar.

"Young Master Langtian, the leader is also a member of my Lin clan. His name is Lin Ze. He broke through to the Shaping Realm five years ago and now has the strength of a Great Shaping Master."

As if sensing that Lin Langtian had taken an interest in this person, Lin Bao leaned close to Lin Langtian's ear and whispered.

"Oh?"

Lin Langtian looked at the two brothers with some curiosity.

I had just finished my cultivation this morning when I saw two middle-aged men standing at the entrance of my courtyard.

He was extremely strong, with muscles piled up like small mountains, a face full of fierce features, and an appearance that made him unapproachable.

The other person was also extremely robust, but compared to the first person, he appeared somewhat petite.

At first, Lin Langtian was on guard.

It wasn't until the latter smiled bitterly that he remembered the two people he had asked Lin Zhi for yesterday.

The slightly smaller man gave Lin Langtian a ring, saying that Elder Lin Zhi had specifically instructed him to give it to him personally and to open it only when no one was around.

Lin Langtian then learned the identities of the two people from the words left by Lin Zhi in the ring.

The burly, fierce-looking man was named Lin Hu.

His personality matches his appearance; he's a killer. Anyone outside the Lin clan who displeases him will be met with a violent attack. If it weren't for Lin Zhi keeping him in check all these years, he would probably have already started his killing spree.

As for the other person, it was Lin Bao.

Although he was not as big as Lin Hu and his strength was slightly inferior, he was mature in his work. He was in charge of Lin Langtian's training trip.

To be honest, Lin Langtian was a little flustered when he first learned about Lin Hu's personality.

After all, he's a bloodthirsty monster. Who knows if he might turn on his master and, in his bloodlust, kill himself as well?

Fortunately, Lin Zhi later added that although he was very bloodthirsty, he had been able to control himself much better over the years.

Moreover, Lin Hu was someone I raised from a young age; the term "killing the seedling" was more appropriate for dealing with outsiders.

He treats his own people differently, especially Lin Zhi, whom he respects the most. If Lin Zhi says one thing, he will never do another.

During his observations along the way, Lin Langtian also noticed that Lin Hu treated him with great respect.

They were even a little cautious, afraid of scaring themselves, and deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke.

Lin Langtian smiled faintly and said, "My Lin clan truly produces many outstanding individuals."

"Young Master Langtian, let's get in the carriage." Lin Bao said respectfully as the luxurious carriage slowly approached and finally stopped in front of Lin Langtian.

"it is good."

Lin Langtian stepped onto the carriage bench, bent down, and entered the carriage.

I just entered the carriage.

A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted over.

Lin Langtian looked around.

The blanket on the floor was woven from the feathers of some unknown beast, and it felt warm and comfortable underfoot.

Four incense burners hung on the four walls, wisps of smoke rising from them; the fragrance inside the carriage must have come from them.

Once Lin Langtian was seated cross-legged, the carriage slowly started moving.

The Lin brothers, Lin Hu and Lin Bao, did not get on the carriage, but with their strength at the Creation Realm, it was not difficult for them to silently follow a carriage.

Lin Langtian stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes, slowly mobilized the Yuan energy in his body, and began to cultivate.

……

Qingyang Town, Lin Family.

"That Lin Langtian is so cruel! I, Lin Zhentian, accept defeat, but why did he have to be so ruthless as to cripple Xiao'er!"

"What grudges or resentments have we held against him after we separated from the family? Why resort to such harsh measures!"

In the hall, Lin Zhentian sat at the head of the table, slamming his fist on the table in anger.

Since Lin Xiao was defeated by Lin Langtian in one strike yesterday, before the clan competition had even ended, Lin Zhentian and the others slunk back to Qingyang Town amidst a chorus of mocking gazes and words.

Although Lin Zhentian was somewhat sad back then, it was nowhere near as bad as it is now.

It wasn't until this morning, after another detailed examination of Lin Xiao's body, that it was discovered that his internal organs were in complete disarray, his veins were blocked, his Yuan energy had dissipated, and his strength had regressed to the Earthly Yuan Realm.

In other words, Lin Xiao is finished.

This child, who embodied his years of hard work and was always regarded as the future of the Lin family, was ruined by Lin Langtian.

"Father, is there really no way at all?" Lincoln, the eldest brother, asked anxiously.

Whether from the perspective of the Lin family or from the perspective of blood relations, Lincoln was extremely concerned about Lin Xiao's current situation.

If Lin Xiao is crippled, it will be an extremely heavy blow to him personally, and even to the entire Lin family.

Lin Zhentian slowly closed his eyes and shook his head.

Seeing Lin Zhentian's dejected appearance, the mood of everyone in Lincoln sank to the bottom.

"Keep the matter of Xiao'er being crippled a secret for now; it must not be revealed!"

After a long while, Lin Zhentian spoke again.

"I have some connections in Lincheng. In a few days, I will go and plead with them to see if there is any possibility of Xiao'er recovering."

Looking at Lin Zhentian, who seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, Lincoln was also heartbroken.

"By the way, boss, don't tell Yan'er about Xiao'er being crippled... and Dong'er and Tan'er too. Keep it from them for as long as possible. Even if the chances of Xiao'er recovering are extremely small, it's not impossible."

"Yes, Father."

After Lincoln finished speaking, the hall fell silent once again.

The rest of the Lin family members also received news, to varying degrees, that Lin Xiao had been carried back last night, leading to a variety of rumors.

A cloud of gloom hung over the Lin family.

……

Lin Langtian lifted the curtain by the car window and looked out.

Three poles in the sun.

It was early summer, and the weather was getting hotter every day.

From time to time, groups of cars or pedestrians would sit and rest under the shade of trees along the roadside.

Lin Langtian gazed at the town, which reflected a faint luster under the blazing sun, and sighed inwardly.

Who would believe that in this insignificant little town, a peerless powerhouse capable of overpowering all the heavens and myriad realms would be born decades later?

The place where dreams begin...
