Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Lin Shilu's gaze was resolute, revealing a hint of madness, then he assigned tasks to everyone.

"Xing Rong, you must immediately go to the place where Jin Zhiying must pass when returning to the mountain. Once you discover their tracks, find a way to signal a warning immediately, and we will flee to the north!"

"Xing Zhi, you are responsible for patrolling, keep watch for their possible exit. I will protect Tian Ming as he works on the formation. As soon as the formation is broken, regroup here immediately. That's the plan, now go!"

"Understood..." Explore more adventures at empire

After Lin Xingrong and Lin Xingzhi bowed with clasped hands, they went their separate ways.

Once the two had left, Lin Tianming also began working on breaking the formation.

Lin Shilu sat by his side, watching every movement around them closely so that he could protect Lin Tianming at the first sign of any situation.

Lin Tianming opened his Eye of Five Colors and, through the screen of light, closely examined the structure of the Jin Family's Great Formation and the pathways of its energy flow.

As Lin Tianming began studying Jin Family's Great Formation, at the Lin Family clan grounds in Green Bamboo Mountain, with the Jin Family members fully assembled, Zhuang Zhenxin also began studying the Lin Family's Protective Clan Formation.

Lin Shikang, Lin Shigong, Lin Shihua, and Lin Xingyuan, four Foundation Establishment cultivators, all gathered at the main gate, warily watching the Jin Family cultivators outside.

As the Sun Family clan grounds had been breached, with most of their members dead or injured and only a dozen surviving, the Sun Family was virtually annihilated and utterly drained of vitality.

The losses to the Jin Family were also not small. Jin Chaojiang had been killed by Lin Xingrong, Jin Zhison and Sun Anzhong had exchanged lives for lives. Aside from Jin Chaohai, who was guarding the clan's territory, there were only Jin Zhiying, Jin Zhiping, and Jin Chaojiang left—three people and Zhuang Zhenxin making only four Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, the Jin Family's fighting force was even more formidable. Not to mention Jin Zhiying's cultivation, Jin Chaozong was at the Foundation Establishment Second Layer, and Jin Zhiping was at the Third Level. Meanwhile, of the Lin Family members present, aside from Lin Shikang at the Eighth Level of Foundation Establishment, all were at the first level, and the Qi Refining clanspeople were also of somewhat lower cultivation.

If Sun Dingxian and Sun Dingfeng could be counted, they could barely put up a fight. However, the two from the Sun Family had not fully recovered yet, and their combat capabilities were limited. If they were to fight too soon, the Lin Family's situation would be even more difficult.

Outside the formation, Zhuang Zhenxin took out a grey bead and threw it at the light screen of the formation.

The invisible and colorless, and indeed very transparent, light screen suddenly became visible. The structure and energy pathway of the formation appeared faintly in and out of sight as Zhuang Zhenxin immediately began to analyze and deduce with complete focus.

"Formation Breaking Bead!"

Lin Shigong cried out in alarm, his expression extremely ugly, and Lin Shihua's face also changed drastically.

Seeing Lin Shigong and others' faces change, Lin Xingyuan pressed for answers.

"Third Uncle, what is this bead?"

Lin Shihua began to explain.

"The Formation Breaking Bead is a kind of auxiliary treasure. Although it doesn't have any offensive capabilities, it can be used to assist in breaking formation barriers. It's scarce in number, highly valuable, and one bead is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, truly hard to find!"

After hearing Lin Shihua's explanation, Lin Xingyuan's face instantly turned somewhat pale. With such an item, the probability of the Lin Family's formation being breached skyrocketed.

Seeing his companions' distressed expressions, Lin Shikang spoke up to comfort them:

"Although he has the assistance of the Formation Breaking Bead, breaking the formation in a short time is not so easy. You must know that among the five great families of Luoyun Mountain Range, our Lin Family's Protective Clan Formation is definitely not inferior to the Jin Family's, and might even be more formidable."

Hearing Lin Shikang's reassuring words, their expressions gradually returned to normal.

After observing for a long while, Lin Shikang gave instructions.

"Shigong, a large-scale battle is inevitable now. You three go back and cultivate for a bit, try to increase your skills as much as possible. I will guard here alone, and at the first sign of any situation, I will send a message to you immediately!"

Lin Shigong and the others nodded, bowed, and left, leaving Lin Shikang alone to guard the place.

Time flew by, and half a month passed.

Golden Horn Mountain Jin Family Territory.

Lin Tianming was sitting in front of an ordinary-looking stone wall, just staring at it intently, lost in thought. Lin Shilu didn't move an inch, constantly vigilant of every movement around them.

After half a month of repeated deduction, Lin Tianming hypothesized that the core of the Jin Family's Protective Formation was very likely hidden within this stone wall.

Although the place looked unremarkable, filled only with a stone wall and rocks, he still discovered something highly unusual.

With the Eye of Five Colors opened and after observing for half a day, he found that the stone wall and the rocks added up to exactly eighty-one pieces, arranged at very cunning angles, forming a rudimentary Ninety-Nine Hidden Formation. It looked as though it had formed naturally, and without careful attention, it would be hard to notice.

But with his careful observation and the assistance of the Eye of Five Colors, Lin Tianming still caught it.

After a thorough analysis, Lin Tianming revealed a slight smile and fixed his gaze on a certain corner of the stone wall.

Pointing to a specific spot on the stone wall, Lin Tianming said to Lin Shilu,

"Fifteenth Grandfather, do you see the indented spot on the upper left side of the stone wall?"

"Hmm, I see it!"

Seeing Lin Tianming bring it up, Lin Shilu guessed that Lin Tianming might have found a way to break the formation.

"Fifteenth Grandfather, send a message to Uncle Xing Zhi and have him call my father back immediately. Once everyone is assembled, attack the indented spot with all your might. We may be able to break through the Jin Family's Protective Formation!"

"Good, you truly are the True Dragon's Descendant of our Lin Family!"

Lin Shilu's face lit up with joy, and after praising him, he immediately sent out a message.

Half a day later, brothers Lin Xingrong and Lin Xingzhi had both gathered together.

Upon learning that Lin Tianming had found the weak spot of the Jin Family's Great Formation, the two were overjoyed.

After the two had calmed down, Lin Shilu began to make arrangements.

"Xing Rong, you go to our opposite side and keep an eye on the situation there. The Jin Family likely has an escape route. If you discover anyone fleeing, you must stop them. I will lead Tian Ming and Xing Zhi in the frontal assault for a swift battle. If we cannot overpower them, I will hold the enemy back while you escape with Tian Ming immediately. Understand?"

"Yes, everyone, be careful!"

Lin Xingrong and Lin Xingzhi bowed and accepted the orders.

A quarter of an hour after Lin Xingrong left, Lin Shilu took out an Azure Yellow Great Sword, which was his Magic Artifact, a lower-grade second-order item.

Lin Shilu poured a large amount of spiritual power into it, and the Azure Yellow Great Sword instantly doubled in size, its blade emitting brilliant spiritual light.

He leaped dozens of feet into the air, turning into a residual image. Clutching the magical treasure, he thrust directly at the indented point on the upper left corner of the stone wall.

"Boom..."

A loud explosion sounded, and the Jin Family's Protective Formation shook violently before settling down again, only with the might of its barrier significantly reduced.

Lin Tianming, overjoyed, quickly transmitted his voice:

"Fifteenth Grandfather, this is the spot. Attack it a few more times, and we should be able to completely break through the formation!"

Without hesitating, Lin Shilu attacked again.

After three consecutive strikes at the same spot and upon the fourth attack,

A roaring sound erupted.

Golden Horn Mountain shook as if an earthquake had struck, and the invisible and colorless barrier suddenly dissipated, exposing every blade of grass and every tree within the Jin Family's territory to their view.

Inside the Jin Family's territory, as the formation vibrated, Jin Chaohai's face turned pale. It soon returned to normal, and he quickly assembled over two hundred clan members to guard the gate, bracing for the upcoming slaughter.

As the formation broke and the Jin Family members came into view, Lin Shilu roared like a tiger returning to the forest and a dragon entering the sea, charging directly at Jin Chaohai.

Lin Tianming and Lin Xingzhi, each wielding a Spirit Sword, followed him closely, attacking the Jin Family members.

Without any probing, Lin Shilu swung his sword several times, sending out five Fire Dragon Sword Qis at Jin Chaohai.

With an earth-shattering strike, Lin Shilu held nothing back. With so few Lin Family members on the offensive, he needed to kill some Qi Refining Stage Cultivators to lessen the pressure on Lin Tianming.

Facing the raging Fire Dragon Sword Qi, Jin Chaohai's expression tensed as he threw out more than a dozen Defense Talismans, including several Second Order Defense Talismans. Only with so many talismans was he able to barely block Lin Shilu's attack.

Even though he successfully defended himself, he still sustained minor injuries, and a large number of clan members below the Sixth Level of Qi Refinement were directly shaken to death.

Just one strike had killed dozens of Jin Family members.

Jin Chaohai had no time to grieve; Lin Shilu gave him no chance to react and locked onto him, launching another attack.

Meanwhile, Lin Tianming cut down three swords, attacking the Jin Family members.

Suddenly, three people charged out beside Jin Chaohai—one at Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage and two at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining—they all attacked together.
