Xuan City, Lin Family Residence.
"Hmph! Old bastard, how dare you treat our Lin Family like your lackeys. How dare you ask me to clean up after you, Huo Ting! "
In the Lin Family's meeting hall, Lin Zehong's body trembled slightly as he sat on the main seat. With a furious look on his face, he violently threw away a jade strip in his hand. Lin Ran could not help but frown when he saw this. He walked over and picked up the jade strip. Then, he lifted his head to look at Lin Zehong and asked in a puzzled voice,
"Father, what happened? What did Huo Ting say?"
Lin Ran's brows were tightly knitted together as he asked this question. Since his father was so angry, it could not be anything good.
"Hmph, take a look for yourself. That old bastard, when our Lin Family rises in the future, we will definitely destroy your Huo Family to show our Lin Family's might!"
Under his sleeves, Lin Zehong's hands were tightly clenched into fists. His veins were bulging and the anger on his face was a reflection of his inner emotions.
At the same time, Lin Ran injected a trace of Spiritual Energy into the jade strip in his hand. Then, the information contained in the jade strip appeared in Lin Ran's mind without missing a single detail.
After a few short breaths, Lin Ran's expression quickly turned dark. Deep resentment gushed out from his eyes. Huo Ting was treating them like his lackeys!
According to the information contained in the jade strip, Huo Ting wanted Lin Zehong to go to the Bai Family's territory and capture the beast king in the mountain range that they had searched previously. Soon, Huo Ting would personally come over to ask about it. Furthermore, Huo Ting had also threatened that if Lin Zehong did not handle this matter well, he would double the tribute that the Lin Family had to pay this year. This was bullying!
"This Huo clan is really too much of a bully. Our Lin clan has done so much for them in the past. Now, they actually suppress our Lin clan just because of a disagreement. He is clearly venting all of the anger that Xiao Yan has caused him on us!"
Lin Ran frowned, the expression on his face was as gloomy as his father's. No wonder they were father and son, their expressions were extremely similar.
"Humph, what's the point of saying so much now? We can only endure for now. The problem now is that even though the strongest person in that mountain range only possesses the strength of a Nine Star Half Martial Emperor, that place is the Bai Family's territory. This is a bit troublesome!"
Lin Zehong coldly snorted. He could not help but furrow his brows. The territories of the four great clans usually did not interfere with each other. Even Huo Ting was unwilling to step into the Bai Clan's territory. His Lin Clan was currently only a subsidiary force of the other two clans. If he stepped into the Bai Clan's territory, he was afraid that the Bai Clan would inevitably become the subject of ridicule. At that time, the two clans would jointly pressure the Lin Clan, which would be even more troublesome.
"What should we do now? If we don't bring that bastard back, Huo Ting will definitely vent his anger on our Lin family. When that happens, we will have to pay twice the salary and the Bai family. This is a huge price to pay!"
The Lin Clan had already spent a lot of money in the previous auction. If they had to pay twice the salary now, it would definitely shake the foundations of the Lin Clan.
"Dammit, I can't care about so much now. The Bai Clan's territory is so huge, they can't possibly take care of everything. Moreover, if something really happens, we can just push the responsibility to Huo Ting. Right now, the most important thing is to capture that bastard."
After making up his mind, Lin Zehong withdrew his thoughts. Whether or not he went was the most important thing. If he was able to safely bring that bastard back, this matter would naturally end here. However, if he was discovered, the result would be the same. Therefore, it was better to give it a try and test his luck.
After which, Lin Zehong moved and flew towards the southern part of Xuan City alone. That place was the Bai Clan's territory.
At the same time that Lin Zehong left Xuan City, a white-clothed, young man at a certain spot in Xuan City also saw this scene. Immediately, the white-clothed, young man gently raised his eyes. Both of his eyes stared in the direction that Lin Zehong had left in. He hesitated for a moment before moving and following close behind.
The territory of the Bai Clan was extremely vast. However, it was merely so-so in the eyes of an elite Dou Di. With Lin Zehong's speed, he had already approached the middle of the mountain range below after a long journey in less than two hours.
Lin Zehong, who was originally swiftly flying forward, suddenly frowned after arriving at this place. He had been busy with his journey and was worried that he would bump into the members of the Bai Clan. Hence, he did not pay attention to his surroundings. Despite this, he was still able to sense a faint aura that had been following close behind him not long ago. Although Lin Zehong had left the other party far behind due to the difference in strength between the two parties, the other party had actually caught up with him a short while later. This involuntarily caused Lin Zehong's heart to be slightly startled. He wondered if the person who was following close behind him was someone from the Bai Clan.
A killing intent involuntarily rose in Lin Zehong's heart when he thought of this. Judging from the aura, the other party was clearly no match for him. If this person was a Ban Di from the Bai Clan, Lin Zehong would take the opportunity to kill him and end everything once and for all. It would also prevent him from creating any trouble.
With this thought in his heart, Lin Zehong immediately flashed and hid in the mountain forest below. He withdrew his aura and waited for the arrival of that person.
A short while later, there was indeed a person who swiftly flew over from the distant empty space. Just as he passed by the empty space above Lin Zehong's head, the figure paused. He frowned and looked into the distance, as though he was searching for something. A short moment later, the young figure helplessly frowned. His handsome face revealed a suspicious expression. Immediately, his body moved and he continued to fly towards the depths of the mountain range.
Lin Zehong's heart leaped when he saw this person in the mountain forest below. He did not expect to meet him here. At this moment, the fluttering white-clothed young man standing in the air was the young master of the Bai Clan, Bai Zhan.
"Why is it him? This fellow usually does not step out of his house. Why would he appear here? However, looking at his appearance just now, it seems that he did not recognize me. Otherwise, I would be in big trouble."
Lin Zehong quietly said in his heart. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief. However, he did not dare to relax in his heart. When he saw Bai Zhan, Lin Zehong's body no longer soared into the air. Instead, he chose to move quickly in the forest below in order to avoid meeting Bai Zhan.
On the other side, after Bai Zhan confirmed that he had distanced himself from Lin Zehong, his body paused in the air. His eyes narrowed and a cold glint gradually appeared in his eyes.
