Lin Xiao shouted loudly, then galloped towards Tiemu Manor, followed by dozens of other riders. Plumes of yellow dust rose into the air. Before long, they arrived at the gates of Tiemu Manor.
"Stop! This is the heart of the Lei family. No one is allowed to enter!" Several cold lights flashed from the towering courtyard walls, and one of them shouted directly from above.
"The heart of the Lei family? Humph! From today on, this is the heart of our Lin family!" Lin Xiao sneered disdainfully, his voice resounding throughout the room, fueled by his Yuan Power.
"Lin Xiao, why are you in such a hurry? We have to take things one step at a time." Two figures slowly stood on the courtyard wall, one of them even grinning playfully. "You need to go to the relevant department first, find the relevant personnel, and complete the handover procedures before coming back."
"Lei Qiu, Lei Yi?"
Lincoln and Lin Xiao raised their eyebrows at the sight of the two men on the courtyard wall. These two were core members of the Lei Family, and their strength had reached the early stage of the Tian Yuan Realm. It seemed that the Lei Family had been prepared for this.
"You two, my Lei Family has always been a man of our word. We always keep our promises. Why are you so anxious? Why don't you go back and wait for five days? After that, my Lei Family will definitely hand Tiemu Manor over to you. How about that?"
"Lei Yi, if I remember correctly, it seems like you said the same thing a month ago!" Lincoln suppressed his anger, his eyes almost narrowing.
Seeing this, Lin Changqiang quietly slid over to Lin Dong and began to tease him: "Lin Dong, aren't they planning to destroy all the Tiemu people before we take over Tiemu Manor?"
Lin Dong, already suspicious, narrowed his eyes. "Very likely! Uncle Yan, Changqiang, follow me! Let's try to break into Tiemu Manor from another location."
With that, he drove Xiaoyan into the nearby jungle, and Lin Changqiang followed.
"Young Master!" Yan Shuangying froze, about to stop the two men. But just as he was about to retort, he suddenly remembered that the two young men before him were no weaklings, but two skilled warriors of the Earthly Origin Realm.
He hesitated for a second, then waved his hand, leading the other two to follow.
The five of them swiftly moved through the woods, moving ever further away from the main gate. Soon, they had successfully found an unguarded section of the courtyard wall and leaped into Tiemu Manor.
Everything inside the manor was remarkably quiet. Recalling the location of the ironwood trees from their observations on the slope, the men immediately dashed off.
When the five finally reached the area where the ironwood trees lay, a single glance was enough to make Lin Dong and the others breathe harder, their rage rising in their chests.
Even Lin Changqiang, who had been prepared, clenched his fists, silently exchanging his Gem of Knowledge and Boots of Swiftness for two Thunder Blades.
"I've never seen anyone so shameless!" Yan Shuangying gritted his teeth in anger. "They're trying to ruin our manor!"
Before their eyes, the area that should have been home to a vast expanse of ironwood trees was now practically bare, with only countless blackened woodpile stakes remaining. The stakes still bore the sparse marks of axe marks, evident from the hasty chopping.
Of course, it wasn't just the decimated ironwood trees that made the men's faces sullen, but also the sight of figures nearby pouring potions of foul-smelling liquid onto the ground.
The Lei family not only wants to cut down all the ironwood trees, but also destroy this land so that ironwood trees can no longer be grown here!
"Apart from the laborers who are pouring the potion, the thirteen people standing around should be the guards of the Lei family."
Yan Shuangying frowned, feeling a little tricky.

"One of the two leading men is someone I know. His name is Payne. He was once a gangster, but somehow ended up as a guard for the Lei family. He's on par with me, both in the early Earth Origin Realm, and I think the other guy is as well!"
"Uncle Ying, just fire a signal flare and notify my father and the others!" Lin Dong said without hesitation.
"Young Master, are you sure? Once we fire the signal, we'll be discovered immediately!" Yan Shuangying was terrified. Five against thirteen? How dare they!
"Uncle Ying, have you forgotten that I could easily defeat Lei Li, who was in the early Earth Origin Realm, a month ago?" Lin Changqiang chuckled. Even a late Earth Origin Realm warrior, let alone an early Earth Origin Realm warrior, was no match for him now. "Send the signal. I'm here."
"Ahem, my memory's getting worse with age." Yan Shuangying's face flushed, and then he realized that he should be worried about the other party!
With that, he pulled a signal flare from his arms and lit it. Suddenly, a red light shot up into the sky, exploding in the air.
"Who is it?!"
The moment the signal was sent, the nearby Lei family guards reacted instantly. The gloomy-faced man in the lead suddenly turned, his gaze fiercely fixed on the bushes where the group was. With a wave of his hand, the remaining twelve figures immediately surrounded them.
"Roar!"
A fierce tiger roar suddenly echoed, and a fiery red figure burst out.
"Fire Python Tiger! It's Fire Python Tiger!"
The Lei family guards recognized Xiao Yan at a glance and were horrified, wishing they could just run away.
"Don't panic, this Fire Python Tiger is still far from adulthood!" The man Yan Shuangying called Payne was also startled at first, but quickly recovered. "Old Eight, all of you, go and kill this beast. The rest of you, go and capture the guy behind us! I want to see who dares to cause trouble in Tiemu Village!"
Old Eight and Payne exchanged a glance, then simultaneously pounced on Xiao Yan. But at that moment, two figures suddenly leaped from the bushes, blocking the two men. Two iron fists, brimming with energy, lashed out at Lao Ba and Pain.
The sudden attack startled Pain and Lao Ba, who immediately mobilized their energy.
"Bang!"
The four figures collided, sending a blast of energy scattering, sweeping away the surrounding debris. Then, to everyone's astonishment, they discovered that the two figures that had suddenly rushed out hadn't moved a muscle, while Pain and the other two retreated several steps!
"Even when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner, let alone a tiger," Lin Changqiang said calmly, his demeanor as a master. He was about to blast his opponents to pieces with his fireball technique, but a sudden thought struck him, and he swapped his two thunder blades for two sets of cloth armor.
"Lin Dong, I'll deal with Payne. I'll leave Old Eight to you!"
"Go!" Seeing Lin Changqiang and Lin Dong stop the other two Earth Element Realm warriors, Yan Shuangying roared and rushed towards the remaining guards with the other two. He was still very confident in bullying those guys in the Body Tempering Realm.
Xiao Yan, who was standing aside, turned his head, looked at the guards of the Lei family, then at the laborers in the forest, and his eyes lit up.
He roared domineeringly and rushed directly towards the laborers. Seeing this, the laborers hurriedly dropped the medicine barrels in their hands and fled.
