Lin Ken immediately opposed: "Don't act rashly.
The Lei family lost two Heavenly Origin masters, but the Black Iron Panthers are at least mid-stage, and there's a Fire Python Tiger nearby."
"A Fire Python Tiger that killed four Heavenly Origin masters must be late-stage."
"To compete, we must eliminate all three beasts."
"With our current strength, even defeating the three beasts would cost heavily."
"Other forces covet the veins too."
"If we act first and rival forces exploit it, the Lin Family could be ruined."
Lin Ken's analysis was reasonable....a cold bucket of water, sobering the others.
It was a tough problem: even strong families like Lei and Xie were crippled by the beasts.
Yet the temptation of the veins was too great; no one wanted to let it go.
Debate resumed.
"If we delay, nearby powers will move in. Even Yan City forces could be drawn here. By then, we'd get nothing."
"Without sufficient strength, even seizing Tiemu Village won't be secure."
"We could take it, mine as much as we can. If stronger forces arrive, we can abandon it later."
"But then escaping unscathed may not be possible."
"If we do nothing, the opportunity slips away.
"Alone, it's hard to secure Tiemu Village."
"Perhaps… we should ally with Kuangdao Martial Hall.
With Master Luo and Father, we could handle the three beasts and deal with Lei and Xie later without worry."
"Cooperation seems a good solution."
"This matter cannot wait; I suggest sending envoys to Kuangdao Martial Hall immediately."
"Delay, and Lei and Xie may already have coordinated."
"Father, what do you think?"
All eyes turned to Lin Zhentian.
He wanted to claim the veins alone, but for now, cooperation was best.
Just then, a young man burst in...it was Lin Dong, bringing Lin Xuan's plan.
Previously, they had plotted diversion tactics. Now, it was the Lin Family's turn to act.
Grandfather!"
Lin Dong ran straight toward Lin Zhentian.
"Dong'er, why have you come?"
Lin Xiao and the other elders glanced at Lin Dong.
This kid barging in so recklessly.....it was rude! They were in the middle of a family meeting.
"Let's talk later, okay?" Lin Xiao stepped forward, intending to stop him.
But Lin Dong ignored them, arriving before Lin Zhentian. "Grandfather, I know you're discussing Tiemu Village and the Yangyuan Stone veins. I'm here about the same matter."
Seeing the seven or eight uncles present, he lowered his voice. "Grandfather, may I have a word privately?"
The elders' faces darkened instantly. What secrets could a kid possibly share that needed to be hidden?
"Dong'er, don't be rude!" Lin Xiao scolded sharply.
Lin Ken shook his head, smiling. "This child…"
"You're just a junior, barely breaking into Earth Origin Realm, yet you meddle in family affairs. Isn't this nonsense?" Lin Mang mocked.
Lin Dong blushed but quickly responded, "Second Uncle, I broke into Earth Origin Realm months ago.
Now I've reached the late stage, not far from you."
He released his Yuan power, clearly displaying late-stage Earth Origin Realm strength.
The elders were shocked—just three to four months ago, he had been early-stage. Such talent was frightening.
Lin Dong smiled faintly. "Perhaps my power alone isn't convincing, but I come to deliver a message from Brother Lin Xuan.
He has broken into Heavenly Origin Realm.....surely his words carry some weight."
Lin Dong's words struck like thunder.
Several elders even crushed their teacups in surprise.
"What? Lin Xuan has broken into Heavenly Origin Realm?"
"When did this happen? Why wasn't this shared?"
"Our Lin Family gains a Heavenly Origin master! Perfect timing."
"I heard Xia'er say Lin Xuan left for training a month ago.
Has he returned? Where is he?"
"Breaking Earth Origin Realm so quickly… a genius indeed."
Lin Dong anticipated the reaction. Seeing Lin Xuan's deeds as extraordinary, he explained, "Grandfather, you might wonder why I reported sightings of the Fire Python Tiger twice before. That was part of a plan Brother Lin Xuan devised against the Lei and Xie families."
"Now, Lin Xuan and his beasts have taken Tiemu Village.
If you doubt it, just go see."
Lin Zhentian no longer hesitated. "Alright, we head to Tiemu Village now."
Back in the main hall, he ordered the Lin Family's elite forces to prepare and depart immediately.
Lin Ken and the others were curious what Lin Dong had said to inspire such confidence.
But Lin Zhentian gave no explanation, insisting strict obedience.
Soon, Lin Zhentian led a team racing toward Tiemu Village.
Half a day later, they arrived.
They had moved fast; no other forces had reached the area yet.
The party paused at the village entrance, wary of entering recklessly.
Inside, Lin Xuan had already sensed the Lin Family's arrival.
He walked to the gate.
