This outcome was completely unexpected by most people.
No one expected that Lei Li, the number one junior in Qingyang Town, would be defeated by Lin Yi, who was not well-known.
In fact, Lin Yi only used one move!
"He actually defeated Lei Li in one move..."
Lin Zhentian stood up from the stone chair in shock. Looking at the scene before him, he felt as if he were in a dream.
"Brother Lin Yi is amazing!"
Qingtan's bright eyes were filled with admiration as she clapped her little hands and cheered.
Not far from Qingtan, Lin Xia and the other younger members of the Lin family also cheered.
Over the years, they have suffered a lot of humiliation at the hands of the younger generation of the Lei family, and the reason why the younger generation of the Lei family is so arrogant is precisely because of Lei Li's existence.
Now, Lei Li, who is the number one junior in Qingyang Town, was defeated by Lin Yi in one move. They felt relieved and refreshed!
In contrast to the joy at the Lin family's side, the Lei and Xie families were deathly still, with everyone in the Lei family wearing gloomy faces.
Seeing this, even Xie Qian could only smile wryly, not daring to provoke trouble at this moment.
This time, the Lei family not only lost an important ironwood village, but more importantly, they were overshadowed by the Lin family and lost face in public.
"This can't be real... Pfft!"
Lei Li, the person involved, was furious, his face full of disbelief. He screamed, spat out another mouthful of blood, and fainted on the spot.
"You actually defeated Lei Li in one move! That's incredible!" On the stone platform, Wu Yun leaned closer to Lin Yi and said excitedly.
Lin Yi smiled, reached out and picked up the fire python tiger cub, then looked at the referee not far away, "Shouldn't you announce the result now?"
The referee, who was still in shock, only came to his senses after hearing Lin Yi's words. He gave Lin Yi a deep look and announced loudly, "Lin Yi of the Lin family wins this match!"
"Hehe, thank you for the Lei family's gift. Please complete the handover of Tiemu Manor within half a month. I believe that Patriarch Lei will not break his promise in front of all the forces, don't you think?"
After hearing the referee announce the result, Lin Zhentian turned his head to look in the direction of the Lei family and laughed loudly.
Hearing Lin Zhentian's laughter, Lei Bao's face turned ashen. Behind him, a member of the Lei family shouted angrily, "Lin Zhentian, your Lin family is just lucky. Don't be too smug!"
"Snapped!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lei Bao, enraged, slapped him across the face.
"go!"
Immediately, Lei Bao stood up with a gloomy look in his eyes, his face turning ashen, and quickly walked out of the Beast Horn Arena.
Seeing this, the Lei family members had no choice but to follow, and of course, they didn't forget to carry the unconscious Lei Li up with them.
Looking at the disheveled figures of the Lei family, the Lin family members also felt a sense of satisfaction.
"congratulations!"
Led by Luo Cheng, the members of the Mad Blade Martial Arts School also came over, cupped their hands to Lin Zhentian, and congratulated him, saying, "The Lin family's greatest fortune is to have this son."
Upon hearing Luo Cheng's words, Lin Zhentian laughed heartily.
The hunting competition continued as the two chatted and laughed.
With Lin Yi's strength, it was no surprise that he won the championship of this hunting competition, bringing an extra bonus to the Lin family.
"Let's go back." After the hunting competition ended, Lin Zhentian exchanged a few polite words with Luo Cheng and then led the Lin family members away from the area.
[Ding! Host has won the hunting competition, becoming famous throughout Qingyang Town. A reward of three thousand Yang Yuan Pills is given as a congratulatory gesture!]
On the way back to the Lin family, the system reward message arrived in Lin Yi's mind once again as scheduled.
Lin Yi was not surprised by this, but he was still very happy.
Three thousand Yang Yuan Pills would be enough for him to buy many spiritual herbs to aid his cultivation.
When news of Lin Yi's exploits in the hunting competition reached the Lin family, the entire family was in an uproar, and Lin Yi's prestige within the Lin family rose to a new level.
Lin Yi didn't seem to care much about these things.
After the hunting competition, Lin Yi stayed quietly at home, only going out occasionally.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed since the hunting competition.
During the past two weeks, Lin Yi not only focused on his cultivation but also kept an eye on the affairs of Tiemu Village.
The two-week period has arrived, and just like in the original story, the Lei family is making excuses to delay the time.
Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then prepared to remind Lin Zhentian.
It wasn't that Lin Yi cared about the ironwood; he just wanted to take over Ironwood Village as soon as possible and then mine the Yangyuan Stone.
Lin Yi plans to absorb the Yang Gang Qi from the Yang Yuan Stone Mine to advance to the Tian Yuan Realm. In addition, the demon crystals and the Fire Ancestor Demon Flower deep in the mine are also good things.
In the backyard of the Lin family, Lin Zhentian smiled when he saw Lin Yi arrive. "Yi'er, you've come. Is there anything your grandfather can help you with in your cultivation?"
"It's not about cultivation, but about Ironwood Manor," Lin Yi said, shaking his head slightly.
"I heard that the Lei family made up an excuse to avoid handing over Tiemu Manor on schedule, is that right?"
Lin Zhentian was also somewhat angry when he heard about the Ironwood Manor incident. "I never expected the Lei family to be so shameless."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I think the Lei family might have ulterior motives for delaying. For example, they might destroy the ironwood trees in Ironwood Manor, or even worse, destroy the soil in which the ironwood trees grow."
Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Lin Zhentian's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up from his seat.
"I was wondering what the Lei family was up to. It seems they were planning just that! No, we can't let the Lei family destroy Tiemu Village!"
"I will immediately lead men to Tiemu Village. If they still refuse to hand over the responsibilities peacefully, then we will take direct action. We cannot wait any longer."
Lin Yi looked at Lin Zhentian and said, "Grandpa, I'll go too."
"Alright, but if a conflict arises, you mustn't stray too far from me," Lin Zhentian said after a moment's hesitation.
Lin Yi nodded without saying anything more.
After making his decision, Lin Zhentian immediately gathered a group of Lin family guards and brought Lin Xiao along. The group headed towards Tiemu Village in a grand procession.
Chapter 22 A Fierce Attack on Tiemu Village!
Tiemu Village is a well-known village near Qingyang Town, about half a day's journey from the town.
When the Lin family arrived at Tiemu Village, they found the village gates tightly closed, but could faintly hear shouts coming from inside.
"The manor gates are tightly shut. It seems that a smooth handover is unlikely..." Lin Xiao frowned as he looked at the closed manor gates.
Lin Zhentian nodded slightly, then waved his hand, and the Lin family members behind him became alert.
With a clanging sound, they drew their gleaming swords from their horses, their faces cold and their killing intent rising.
"Lin Xiao, take some men and go knock on the gate," Lin Zhentian said, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the gate of Tiemu Manor.
"Hmm," Lin Xiao agreed and immediately spurred his horse forward. Behind him, dozens of trails of yellow dust followed closely, and the group soon appeared beneath the tightly closed manor gate.
"Halt! This is the Lei family manor. No one may enter without permission!"
As Lin Xiao and his group reached the manor gate, a cold glint appeared on the towering courtyard wall, and a figure shouted at Lin Xiao and the others below.
"Bring out your manager. Today, the Lin family is here to take over Tiemu Manor!"
Lin Xiao shouted, his powerful voice spreading like thunder throughout the entire manor.
"Hey, I say, isn't your Lin family a bit too impatient? If you want to hand over the reins, go to the Lei family to get the handover documents first before coming here."
Two figures appeared on the courtyard wall, and a slightly mocking voice rang out.
“Lei Nuo, Lei Ying.”
Looking at the two people on the courtyard wall, Lin Xiao frowned slightly. Both of them were core members of the Lei family and were both experts at the Tianyuan Realm. It seemed that the Lei family had been prepared for this.
“Hehe, Brother Lin Xiao, since my Lei family said we would hand over Ironwood Manor to your Lin family, we will naturally do it. Why are you in such a hurry? Once we have finished the finishing work in the manor, we will naturally hand over Ironwood Manor to you.”
On the courtyard wall, a man dressed in gray clothes smiled and said.
"Lei Ying, enough talk, open the gates immediately for the handover, or we'll launch a full-scale attack!"
Seeing the Lei family's reaction, Lin Zhentian, who was behind them, became even more certain of Lin Yi's guess and immediately shouted at the gray-robed man on the courtyard wall.
As they spoke, Lin Zhentian and Lin Yi led the remaining group of people and quickly rushed to the manor gate.
"Oh no, Lin Zhentian has come too!" Lei Ying's expression changed drastically upon seeing Lin Zhentian's arrival, and he said with a hint of bravado but not fear, "Patriarch Lin, are you going to start a war with my Lei family?"
Lin Zhentian said coldly, "The half-month period has passed, yet your Lei family still hasn't handed over Ironwood Manor. You breached the contract first, so don't blame me for not giving you any face! As for the two families going to war, can you make the decision on behalf of Lei Bao?"
Lei Ying and Lei Nuo exchanged a glance, their faces turning very grim.
Lei Ying's eyes flickered, and after a long while he said, "Patriarch Lin, how about this, you wait a moment, I will immediately send someone back to consult our patriarch."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and reminded Lin Zhentian, "Grandpa, they're clearly stalling for time. To avoid any unforeseen complications, let's just attack directly!"
Lin Zhentian nodded slightly, then shouted loudly, "Lei Nuo, Lei Ying, if you don't open the door within three breaths, I will lead my men to storm in!"
Lei Ying and Lei Nuo exchanged a glance and said anxiously, "What do we do now? The Lin family isn't easy to fool!"
Lei Nuo said, "The matter that the patriarch instructed us to do has not been completed yet. There is nothing we can do but stall them for a while and send someone back to report."
Lei Ying nodded and immediately gave a few instructions to one of the people next to him, telling him to leave through the back door.
Lin Yi, who was under the manor's control, spread his spiritual power and clearly perceived all of this.
"Grandpa, they're determined to fight to the end, and they've sent someone to fetch reinforcements. I'm going to stop the messenger!"
Lin Yi said something to Lin Zhentian, and before he could respond, he broke away from the group, used his mental power to lock onto the person who had left earlier, and circled around the manor wall.
"Qin Ying, take two men and follow Yi'er to protect him," Lin Zhentian quickly instructed a Lin family guard upon seeing this.
The Lin family guard named Qin Ying agreed and, with two companions, quickly chased after Lin Yi.
Immediately, Lin Zhentian shouted, "Lei Ying, Lei Nuo, since you are so stubborn, don't blame me! Make your move!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhentian leaped off his horse and attacked Lei Ying directly from the courtyard wall.
Lin Xiao followed closely behind and approached Lei Nuo.
In an instant, the four experts at the Heavenly Origin Realm engaged in a fierce battle on the courtyard wall of the manor.
The Lin family guards and the Lei family guards were also locked in a fierce battle.
On the other side, Lin Yi and his group of four quickly caught up with the messenger that Lei Ying had sent out earlier.
