Cultivation Begins with Daily Intelligence Reports

73: vicious planLin Jingyu sat on a chair and took a gentle sip of the rice porridge his younger sister had made.

Ripples appeared before his eyes, and the light blue Golden Finger panel materialized in front of him.

【 Daily Intel Refreshed! 】

【 ... Today, at the Hour of the Dragon, as the new day dawned, Lin Chengyuan was pacing back and forth in his room with an anxious expression. 】

【 Under normal circumstances, his grandson Jingxie should have returned by now. After all, that Ancient Cave Mansion is not very far away. 】

【 He estimated that it was likely because the Formation Restrictions in the inner perimeter were difficult to clear, so Jingxie had spent some extra time. 】

【 It is also possible that after obtaining a powerful Legacy and countless resources, Jingxie has started Cultivating in seclusion directly inside the Immortal Cave! 】

【 Thinking of this, Lin Chengyuan’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed; it must be so. 】

【 Immediately after, he sensed his surroundings, changed his attire, and walked out of the cultivation room with his figure concealed. 】

【 He then quickly left the Lin Family, released a slender spirit dog only a foot tall, and after the spirit dog sniffed the powder he had smeared on his finger, it began to sprint forward rapidly. 】

【 The spirit dog was extremely fast, turning into a blur, and Lin Chengyuan followed closely behind. 】

【 It turned out that he had specially placed a carefully prepared, colorless, odorless, and undetectable Hundred Mile Scent on the body of the Black Wind Stockade Cultivator, Chen Biao, the Grand-Uncle. 】

【 As long as they were within a hundred miles, he could easily find the source by relying on the spirit dog’s nose. 】

【 Beyond a hundred miles, the difficulty of searching would increase significantly. 】

【 Lin Chengyuan believed that the heavily injured Chen Biao, the Grand-Uncle, would certainly not find a place too far away to heal his injuries. 】

【 This time, he had completely offended Chen Biao, the Grand-Uncle, but at the same time, he had long since sentenced him to death in his heart. 】

【 Regardless, Chen Biao, the Grand-Uncle, and the others in the Black Wind Stockade were merely low-level Cultivators; if they died outside, no one would ask about it. 】

【 After several days of recuperation and adjusting his breath, his strength had reached eighty percent of its peak state, and only then did he come out to search for the trail of Chen Biao, the Grand-Uncle. 】

【 When he arrived at the location where Chen Biao, the Grand-Uncle, had previously hidden, he was completely stunned. 】

【 The scene before him looked as if a Dragon had overturned the earth, as if a powerful Yao Beast had used monstrous demonic power to viciously claw at this area of several dozen zhang. 】

【 Whether it was flowers, trees, rocks, or soil, everything had suffered a frantic assault. 】

【 It took a long time for him to come back to his senses, and cold sweat had already broken out on his temples. 】

【 What kind of situation had Chen Biao, the Grand-Uncle, encountered for his hiding place to be directly razed to the ground? 】

【 Terrifying, truly terrifying! Even a Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator would find it hard to possess such means! 】

【 On the surface, there were still traces of having been struck by lightning. 】

【 The experienced Lin Chengyuan could tell at a glance that this was definitely caused by the furious strike of a Cultivator who practiced lightning techniques. 】

【 This Cultivator was highly likely to be a Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, Perfection stage lightning-type Cultivator; otherwise, it would be impossible to cause such great destruction. 】

【 A lightning-type Spiritual Root Cultivator, just a little bit inferior to a Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator. A Cultivator with such talent is enough to become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qinglan Sect, and even becoming a True Disciple would not be difficult. 】

【 Why would they come to such a remote, small place like the Southeast Market Town and use a massive ultimate move to annihilate a small Cultivator who was only at the Qi Refining Third Layer? 】

【 This place is so remote that it is absolutely impossible for it to have been caused by a conflict arising after running into each other. 】

【 Suddenly, a chill shot straight from his tailbone to his crown. 】

【 He almost lost his footing and fell to the ground. 】

【 There is only one explanation: this powerful and mysterious Cultivator specifically sought out Chen Biao, the Grand-Uncle, and brutally annihilated him. 】

【 As a low-level Cultivator, how could Chen Biao, the Grand-Uncle, possibly earn the hatred of such a great Cultivator? 】

【 Even if he were beaten to death, he would not dare to offend such a person. 】

【 Except for that Fat Sheep they intercepted a few days ago! 】

【 Besides the endless supply of Talismans and Medicinal Pills on that Fat Sheep, they also possessed an incomparably powerful talisman treasure; with a single strike, he had already been scared out of his wits. 】

【 Things like talisman treasures can only be separated by those at the Old Ancestor level of the Golden Core Stage, who must expend their mental energy and mana, paying the price of damaging their own life-bound Spirit Treasure. 】

【 A single Golden Core Cultivator Family would not do such a thing. Unless it is a powerful Family with several or even a dozen Golden Core Cultivators. 】

【 Only then would an old Golden Core Cultivator whose lifespan is nearing its end make some talisman treasures to fool the younger generation or use them as the Family foundation. 】

【 That Fat Sheep’s background is terrifying. 】

【 Only such a behemoth of a Family would dispatch such a terrifying Cultivator to come and take revenge. 】

【 By using unknown means and methods, they determined the location of Chen Biao, the Grand-Uncle, and ruthlessly attacked. 】

【 Thinking of this, his heart was filled with fear. 】

【 His mind raced, but he could not find any way to break the situation. 】

【 The mere Lin Family could not possibly protect him. 】

【 Even if he were to form an alliance with the Liu Family, in their eyes, it would be nothing more than mere ants. 】

【 Perhaps only the Qinglan Sect could protect him. 】

【 But why would the Qinglan Sect offend a super Golden Core Family to protect a piece of bottom-layer trash like him? 】

【 Although he did not know why that mysterious expert had not yet made a move against him, once they did, there would absolutely be no way to escape. 】

【 He was dead, he was dead. 】

【 Lin Chengyuan was completely dazed, at a loss for what to do. 】

【 After a long while, he finally calmed down. 】

【 Since he was not dead now, it meant that the mysterious expert had certain concerns or had not locked onto him. 】

【 Immediately, flames of hope ignited in his eyes. 】

【 It was not yet a complete dead end. 】

【 He must muddy these waters so that the mysterious Cultivator would shift their gaze away. 】

【 Lin Chengyuan quickly left this place and rushed back to the Lin Family. 】

【 His mind began to plot and brew one conspiracy after another. 】

【 In the end, he decided to reveal the news of the death of the Black Wind Stockade trio to the Black Wind Stockade. 】

【 At the same time, he would drag that kid Lin Jingyu into it, saying he was one of the main culprits who caused the death of the Black Wind Stockade Cultivators. 】

【 In this way, the Black Wind Stockade would mobilize with great fanfare, which would certainly attract the attention of that mysterious Cultivator. 】

【 They would naturally think that the other person was also a Black Wind Stockade Cultivator. 】

【 Thereby clearing Lin Chengyuan himself. 】

【 As for whether this move would have any impact on the Lin Family, it did not matter to him. 】

【 As long as he waited for his grandson Jingxie to return with a large amount of resources and a Legacy, what use would a Family or no Family be? 】

【 That Legacy must be at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage, or even the Golden Core Stage; whether offered to a major Immortal Cultivation Family or the Qinglan Sect, it would definitely be able to exchange for a good position. 】

【 Anything would be much better than staying in this bottom-layer Lin Family. 】

【 He made up his mind and prepared to carry out his plan... 】

After reading the intel, a trace of Evil Qi gathered between Lin Jingyu’s brows, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a wave of Killing Intent surged from his body.

He spat out a few cold words: ”This old dog is tired of living!”
