Back in the Ancient Tomb Mansion, Lin Dong still remembered Wang Pan and Wang Yan making trouble for him. Although he didn't suffer any losses back then, and even got some compensation, that didn't mean the matter was over.
That compensation, in the final analysis, wasn't because of Lin Dong, but because they didn't dare offend Lin Xuan.
Under Lin Dong's gaze, a golden light suddenly lit up, followed by a loud whooshing sound. A golden giant spear rapidly swept over from above, and at the same time, an arrogant and domineering aura followed closely behind.
"Wang Yan!"
Looking at that familiar figure, a coldness couldn't help but appear on Lin Dong's face. As a cold light surged, a remarkable aura erupted from Lin Dong, heading straight for Wang Yan.
Wang Yan, standing on the golden giant spear, had just steadied himself and was preparing to show off his status as a Wang Clan prodigy when he sensed an aura heading straight for him, causing Wang Yan's brow to furrow and a surge of anger to instantly flood his heart.
"Hmph! Seeking death!"
How could Wang Yan, such an arrogant person, tolerate such provocation? He immediately responded with his own aura.
"Boom!"
Instantly, the two auras collided directly, erupting with a remarkable force that alarmed countless people.
The surrounding crowd of onlookers looked at Wang Yan in mid-air and then at the cold-faced killer Lin Dong, and they all retreated, clearing the area.
Mu Qianqian glanced at Lin Dong, whose eyes were flashing with cold light, but didn't move her feet. She simply stood beside Lin Dong and asked softly.
"Lin Dong, do you have a grudge against that Wang Yan?"
Lin Dong ignored Mu Qianqian, simply looked up at Wang Yan, sneered, and imitating Little Marten's way of referring to himself, said coldly.
"This daddy doesn't like people flying over my head!"
Seeing that his aura clash had failed to overwhelm the other party, Wang Yan couldn't help but flash a look of surprise. But the next moment, after hearing Lin Dong's words, anger directly surged up, and he turned his head to look.
When his gaze landed on Lin Dong, Wang Yan's pupils suddenly shrank, suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and he responded coldly.
"Hmph, so it's the Lin Clan's branch family kid!"
"So what if it's a branch family? It seems that you, Wang Yan, a dignified young master of the Wang Clan, haven't managed to gain any advantage from this branch family kid, have you? Or has your Wang Clan fallen to this point?"
Lin Dong chuckled and responded, causing Wang Yan's face to instantly turn ugly.
Even Lin Dong himself didn't notice that in his heart, he had already accepted the identity of the Lin Clan, rather than simply doing it for his grandfather's wish as he had in the past.
Lin Dong no longer had the same kind of rejection towards the clan's main family as he once did. Although some of the guys were a bit foul-mouthed, it seemed that such a clan had a bit of human touch. Young people, being young and frivolous, was normal.
"You! Hmph, back then, if the Sword Saint hadn't protected you, this young master would have beaten you into a dead dog!"
Wang Yan was directly countered by Lin Dong's words, causing the veins on his forehead to bulge, clearly furious. However, facing the rising Lin Clan, Wang Yan really didn't dare to do anything to Lin Dong.
Ever since Lin Langtian was executed on the spot by the Lin Clan's Elder Council, the entire Lin Clan's cohesion had directly increased by a large margin. Internal competition was also very restrained. The most important thing was that externally, even a dog of the clan had to be protected. They were extremely protective of their own.
Some forces of the Lin Clan, such as the Enforcement Team, strictly implemented one standard: no matter how big the matter, the Lin Clan's clansmen could only be dealt with by the Lin Clan. If anyone dared to touch them, they could wait for the Lin Clan to come and settle the score!
"Hmph, then let's try it? I just don't know if you brought a new Universe Bag with you!"
Lin Dong snorted coldly, and immediately reached out and summoned the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd directly into his hand. His fighting spirit was high, and he looked like he was about to fight Wang Yan, which made Wang Yan a little caught in a dilemma.
In fact, Lin Dong's anger wasn't the main reason. The main reasons were that he wanted to test the difference in strength between himself and these top geniuses, and secondly, he was, after all, a member of the Lin Clan. Wasn't it natural to fight with the Wang Clan?
"Hmph, afraid of you?"
Sensing the aura emanating from Lin Dong, which was even stronger than the Great Accomplishment of the Shaping Realm, Wang Yan's expression turned grim. He directly put away the Great Luo Golden Spear and held it in his hand, ready to fight Lin Dong.
However, at this moment, a streak of red light rapidly swept over from a distance. Before the person arrived, a voice had already been transmitted.
"Wang Yan, do you want to spar with my Lin Clan? However, just you alone doesn't seem qualified enough, does it?"
After the red light stopped, it transformed into a red disc. On the disc, there were many figures. However, what surprised many people was that almost all of them were young people, with only one white-haired old man mixed among them, appearing somewhat out of place.
At the very front of the group of figures was a young man in a maple-red robe. The young man had a rather dashing appearance, with a maple-red long sword hanging at his waist, and a faint smile on his face at all times.
"Lin Feng? I didn't expect it to be you!"
Wang Yan looked at his former opponent, his pupils suddenly constricting. Lin Feng, upon hearing this, chuckled and replied.
"Could it be that you were hoping it was the Young Clan Leader? If it were really him, I'm afraid you wouldn't even dare to stand here like this!"
After Lin Feng finished speaking, his gaze swept over Wang Yan before landing on Lin Dong, smiling and nodding as he said.
"It seems that Ke'er and Xue'er have a formidable opponent in this Clan Gathering. If you can win the championship, you will become the first member of a branch family in the history of our Lin Clan to win the championship!"
While Lin Feng was sizing up Lin Dong, Lin Dong was also sizing up Lin Feng. At this moment, Little Marten's voice rang out in Lin Dong's heart.
"Half-Step Creation Realm, that's more like the level the number one genius of your Lin Clan should have. Even if you take out that Heart Severing Sword now, I estimate you wouldn't last three moves in his hands. That sword of his, and the mirror disc under his feet, should both be Earth-Rank Spiritual Treasures. Tsk tsk, is your Lin Clan so generous?"
Under Little Marten's reminder, Lin Dong's gaze lingered on the maple-red long sword in Lin Feng's hand and the mirror disc under his feet. Two Earth-Rank Spiritual Treasures, it had to be said, such generosity made Lin Dong somewhat envious.
Earth-Rank Spiritual Treasures, he had risked his life for so long, and only because of that Mysterious Stone Talisman did he receive the rent for an Earth-Rank Spiritual Treasure. Apart from the Heart Severing Sword, the most valuable Spiritual Treasure was that Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd.
But because of the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd, how many people coveted Lin Dong? How many Yin Puppet Sect's men did he kill?
After putting away his distracting thoughts, Lin Dong looked up at Lin Feng, who didn't have the slightest air of arrogance about him, and his smile became sincere, responding with some shyness.
"You're too kind, Lin Dong's strength is weak, I'm afraid I'm no match for Ke'er and the others."
Lin Dong didn't know that Lin Feng didn't have that air of arrogance because he had always been suppressed by others, and had even been bullied by Lin Langtian in the past, which was why he didn't have that arrogance and had a better personality.
