Chapter 45: Sword Drawn and Bowstring Taut

  The spoils of war have been distributed, and the faces of Lin Dong and his three companions are all filled with smiles. Even Mu Lingshan's cheeks are flashing with joy. She had only participated in the hunt to get a good ranking and expand the reputation of the Mu Family Manor, but she hadn't expected such a rich harvest.

  Compared with the cubs of this fire python tiger, hunting seems insignificant.

  "We'll head up too." Wu Yun said with a smile, carefully placing the infant in his arms.

  Lin Dong also nodded, he still lacked two identity cards to meet the conditions, but for him, this was obviously not a problem.

  "I won't go." Mu Lingyan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly shook her head and said.

  Upon hearing this, Lin Dong and Wu Yun were both taken aback for a moment. They then looked at the small beast in Mu Lingshan's arms, nodded thoughtfully, and realized that a Fire Python Tiger cub capable of growing to the Tian Yuan realm was extremely valuable. If she could bring it back and raise it well, their Mu Family Manor would have a Tian Yuan realm Fire Python Tiger guarding it in the future, which would be a tremendous blessing for the entire manor.

  After all, even in today's Mujiazhuang, only one person has reached the early stage of Tianyuan Realm.

  The Fire Python Tiger cubs are extremely easy to provoke, and once the news gets out, the Lei Xie family will definitely not let it go. The Lin family and the Kuangdao Wuguan have some backing, but they are not afraid of the Lei Xie family. However, the Mu family's Mujiacun is different, they cannot compete with the Lei Xie family yet, so if the fact that she has the cubs is exposed, it will bring disaster to the Mu family.

  "We'll keep it confidential for you." Lin Dong said in a low voice.

  "Thank you." Mu Ling looked at Lin Dong with gratitude, then smiled coquettishly and said: "In the future, when you have time, come to my Mu Family Manor to play, I will definitely entertain you."

  "Haha, okay." Wu Yun also smiled and nodded in agreement.

  Having no objection to the two, Mu Ling also didn't stay any longer. After bidding farewell to the two, she hid the small beast and sprang onto a branch with her slender body, like an agile little leopard, quickly dashing towards the outside of the thicket.

  "Let's go."

  Watching Mu Ling leave, Lin Dong also waved his hand and turned around to quickly head towards the center of the forest, Wu Yun also hurriedly followed up.

  Those who can enter the depths of the jungle are already quite rare, and each one has a good skill, but this skill is not a big obstacle under Lin Dong's local domain strength, and the last two identity cards were easily obtained by him.

  …

  The winter sun is not scorching, but rather makes people feel extremely comfortable. Around the Beast Horn Stadium, a sea of people stretches to the end of the line of sight. Countless eyes are all focused on the central position of the Beast Horn Stadium, where there is a mountain top square.

  "Calculating the time, those contestants should be about to go on stage..." Lin Zhen Tian squinted his eyes and took a glance at the giant stage, muttering to himself.

  "Hehe, don't worry, Father. With Lin Dong's abilities, as long as he doesn't encounter Lei's Lei Li, getting the ten Identity Plates shouldn't be a problem." Lin Ken said with a smile.

  Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen Tian also smiled and nodded his head. Just as he withdrew his attention, the beast horn arena suddenly erupted in waves of cheers. Then, he saw several figures flashing onto the giant platform. Among them was a familiar figure that made him secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  On the grand stage, Lin Dong and Wu Yun appeared, their eyes gazing out at the sea of people surrounding the stone platform, all of whom couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. This kind of atmosphere was truly something that could not be seen in ordinary times.

  When Lin Dong and others rushed to the stone platform, several referees quickly approached them, checked the number of identity cards in their hands, and nodded before retreating.

  Not long after Lin Dong and Wu Yun stepped onto the stage, two figures flashed onto the stone platform in the distance. As soon as they appeared, their iron-like faces and angry gazes were directed at Lin Dong and Wu Yun.

  As for Lei Li and Xie Yingying's angry gaze, Lin Dong and Wu Yun exchanged a glance, but both of them just smiled slyly.

  "I won't let you take the cub away so easily!"

  Seeing the smiles of the two, Lei Li's anger burned even more fiercely in his heart. Suddenly, he turned around and faced the seats where the Leis and the Xies were watching from, shouting: "Grandfather, Uncle Xie, I and Yingying encountered a heavily injured fire python and three newborn cubs in the woods. We fought with it for a long time before dragging it to death. But at the last moment, Lin Dong and Wu Yun suddenly launched a sneak attack and snatched away the three cubs! Please do justice for us!"

  The sudden roar of thunder made everyone stunned, and when they heard the three-headed fire python cubs, the whole scene was suddenly in an uproar.

  "What?!"

  On the spectator seats, whether it was the Lei family or the Xie family, even Lin Zhen Tian and Luo Cheng, they all stood up suddenly, their faces changing drastically. They knew more clearly than anyone else how formidable Huo Ran's three-headed infant was - those three young ones would become three top-notch experts in the future! This kind of power was something that none of them could ignore!

  "Triple-headed fire python cub?!"

  Leopard's face turned red in an instant, he exchanged a glance with Xie Qian, their eyes flashed, and then they spoke in unison: "Is this really the case?"

  On the grand stage, Lin Dong and Wu Yun's faces also changed slightly. They didn't expect Lei Li to be so shameless.

  "The Fire Python Tiger was already heavily injured, so whoever saw it first would own it? If that's the case, then I'll go for a stroll in the deep mountains tomorrow. Any demon beast I see will be mine, and if anyone captures them later, they'll have to compensate me!" Wu Yun's eyes were somewhat gloomy, but he also burst out laughing coldly.

  Wu Yun's shameless words also caused a burst of laughter in the scene, and soon some people nodded, this remark also made some sense. The Huo Meng Hu was originally an ownerless thing, reasonably speaking, whoever had the ability to get the cub would be its...

  "You're making excuses!" Lei Bao's face sank, and he shouted.

  Bang!

  Leopard's voice fell, and not far away, Luo Cheng slapped a stone chair with a loud slap. The fierce force directly shattered the stone chair. He grasped the long knife at his waist and said in an icy tone: "Leopard tribe leader, when your people speak, it's the truth? When my people speak, is it just sophistry? Are you thinking that Crazy Blade Martial Arts Institute is easy to bully?"

  "Heaven and earth, spiritual objects, those who have fate will get them, this can't be considered a robbery! Old Lei, you can't be too excessive in doing things!" Lin Zhen Tian also said calmly, but while speaking, Lin Xiao could see his palm slightly trembling with excitement, the matter of the Fire Python Tiger cub had made Lin Zhen Tian unable to remain calm.

  Seeing Lin's family and the Kuangdao Wuguan standing in a line, Leibao's eyes also sank slightly, and his voice was cold and stern: "The Huopengtiger is indeed an ownerless thing, but no matter what, Leili and others have also made sacrifices. However, the benefits were all taken by your people. This matter, even if you two families join forces today, must be accounted for to us!"

  Listening to Leiyao's tone, he was also stubborn today, it seemed that he was unwilling to hand over the cub so easily to the Lin family and Kuangdao Wuguan.

  "Hand over? Are you still thinking of taking the young master back?" Luo Cheng's scar on his face twisted like a centipede, with a hint of ferocity.

  "Master Luo, things are going to get ugly and it's not good for anyone. Why don't we settle this with a contest? Whoever wins gets to take the child." Suddenly, Xie Qian spoke up, noticing the tense atmosphere.

  "Just by your one word, you want to compete for the cub? Is there such a good thing in the world?" Lin Zhen Tian frowned and coldly smiled, Lei Li and Xie Yingying were both the best of their respective families. The former might have already entered the Earth Yuan realm, Wu Yun's place might be easier to say, but Lin Dong was unlikely to be Lei Li's opponent.

  "I'll use the Ironwood Manor as collateral. If we compete and Lin Dong loses to Lei Ri, then this Ironwood Manor will be yours, the Lin family's. But if you lose, you must hand over that young cub to the Lei family. Lin Shentian, do you dare accept?" Lei Bao said with a flash of his eyes.

  Tiemu Village?

  When they heard this, not only Lin Zhen Tian and Luo Cheng were stunned, but even Xie Qian was also shocked for a moment. The Tie Mu Village produced special iron wood, which was a significant industry in the Lei family. This Lei Bao actually dared to use this village as a bet. Of course, this shock only lasted for a moment before it dissipated. After all, the odds of the Lei family winning this gamble were just too high.

  Lin Zhen Tian's complexion also changed at this moment, apparently being intimidated by the bet for a moment. However, he soon shook his head slightly. Although the bet was extremely generous, their chances of winning were too low. Lin Dong Tian's talent was strong, but after all, his cultivation time was not as long as Lei Wu Duan's. If they fought, their odds of winning wouldn't be high.

  "Dad, forget it..."

  Behind Lin Zhen Tian, Lin Ken, Lin Xiao and Lin Meng all showed hesitant expressions. Finally, gritting their teeth, they said in a low voice, "For that bet, to abandon the Huo Mang Tiger cub would be too much of a loss."

  Hearing the words of the three, Lin Zhen Tian also let out a sigh in his heart. However, just as he was about to open his mouth to refuse, a loud voice suddenly came from the stone platform, causing everyone's body to shake.

  "Alright, I'll accept it for the Lin family!"

  Thank you everyone.
