Chapter 18
The Lin family's entrance gate, with Lin Baocheng's body placed in front of all the Lin family members. Lin Baosheng and others were also severely injured and still unconscious. Whether they would survive or not remained uncertain.
More and more people from the Lin family gathered, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Lin Batian stood in front of everyone, silent. When most of the people had arrived, he slowly spoke, "The Lin family members were brutally killed by others. What do you suggest we do?"
"Seek revenge."
"Seek revenge."
"Seek revenge."
Almost all the people from the tribe were roaring angrily, with their murderous cries filling the sky. Lin Baocheng's blood had provoked their senses.
"Alright, seek revenge, Steward Wu."
"Yes, Master."
"Gather two flying vessels, we are going to annihilate the Zhou family."
"Master, please think twice before taking action."Steward Wu's expression drastically changed. Although they had long planned to go to war with the Zhou family, things didn't go according to their plans. Where were their strategies and tactics?
"Steward Wu?"
Lin Batian's face darkened as he sternly stared at him.
"Yes."
Steward Wu was afraid of Lin Batian's power and didn't dare to say much. He immediately gathered two flying boats from the Lin family's warehouse.
"Lin family children, young or old, those who are willing to fight with me, Lin Batian, come aboard the flying boats."
Lin Batian spoke to everyone and then was the first to jump onto the flying boat.
"Lin Shan is here and willing to fight alongside his father."
Old Lin Shan laughed heartily and was the second to jump onto the flying boat.
"Lin Die is willing to fight alongside Dad."
Lin Die was the third.
"Lin Hai is willing to fight for Dad."

"Lin Bowen has arrived."
"····"
One by one, all the Lin family members who were cultivators boarded the flying ship, including the wives and concubines of those from the Lin family.
"Set sail and attack the Zhou family!"
Lin Batian shouted loudly as two flying ships started and slowly ascended.
"The sixth son of the Lin family has arrived."
Just then, a cry of surprise rang out and Lin Jiang also appeared. Lin Batian saw Lin Jiang, nodded at him, and then unleashed a spiritual force, pulling Lin Jiang onto the flying ship.
The atmosphere on the flying ship was very silent, with Lin Jiang sweating profusely, panting heavily. He held two spirit stones in his hand, quickly absorbing the spiritual energy from them. He had just received the news and had been rushing desperately to get here.
The conflict between the two realms was completely unexpected for Lin Jiang. Initially, he thought the two families would wait until Zhou Quan's passing before taking action, maybe in another twenty or thirty years. But he hadn't expected that only three years had passed since the last time the Zhou family tried to propose to Lin Ying, completely catching him off guard. Lin Jiang didn't know what gave Lin Batian the confidence to face the two Golden Core cultivators directly.
However, regardless of the circumstances, Lin Jiang had to join in this battle. He owed it to the Lin family. For the past few decades, he had been able to cultivate peacefully thanks to the protection of the Lin family. Without their shelter, he might have died long ago.
The Lin and Zhou families were less than 2,000 miles apart. With the highest speed of their flying boats, it took them just over six hours for the Lin family to arrive near the entrance of the Zhou family.
"Leader, what should we do next?"
Steward Wu quietly asked Lin Batian, completely bewildered. He had never been in a war like this before. What should they do next?
"I will break through the Zhou family's mountain defense formation at their entrance. You all follow and charge straight in, destroying everything in your path. Leave no one from the Zhou family alive. Wipe them out completely."
Lin Batian said calmly, taking out a golden long spear. Then, he disappeared into the flying boat.
Lin Batian concealed his whereabouts and flew above the entrance of the Zhou family. At this moment, the Zhou family was also shocked by the sudden conflict. They never expected the Lin family to react so quickly and launch a relentless attack. They were still discussing how to gather their forces and fight against the Lin family.
"Heaven Breaking Style"
Lin Batian gathered his strength above the Zhou family, then shouted angrily. He poured his spiritual power into the long spear, causing a golden illusory image to manifest. This image transformed into a dragon and heavily crashed into the Zhou family's entrance.
"Boom"
The protective formation at the Zhou family's entrance shattered in response to the powerful spear, which crashed into the their gate.
"Who?"
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
Within the Zhou family's gate, there were immediately two furious roars, followed by more screams from Zhou family members.
"Lin family youths, follow me and attack!"
Lin Shan shouted loudly from behind the flying boat, then stepped on a flying sword and rushed towards the Zhou family.
"Kill the enemies!"
Lin Die, Lin Ying, and Steward Wu, along with seven other Foundation Building cultivators, were faster than Lin Shan. They were able to fly using their physical bodies, and their spiritual senses could extend several hundred meters. The distance their spiritual senses could reach was also the range at which they could control the flying swords in mid-air.
From a few hundred meters away, Lin Die and the others' flying swords have already reached inside the mountain gate. The flying swords swept across, and the heads of Zhou family Qi Refining Period members flew out.
"Lin Batian, how dare you, thief!"
"Lin Batian, if I don't kill you, I swear not to be human."
Zhou Quan and Zhou Zilin had flown high into the sky and were attacking Lin Batian from both sides.
On the ground, Lin Jiang's speed could only be described as ordinary. It wasn't that he couldn't fly fast, but he was keeping his composure and didn't dare to be at the forefront. The vanguard died quickly.
Lin Jiang quickly found his opponent. In the battles among cultivators, most of the time they would find opponents of similar strength when the numbers allowed for it. The situation of one side greatly overpowering the other was unlikely, because everyone hoped that there would be fewer casualties on their side, rather than sacrificing someone.
Lin Jiang's opponent was also a Zhou family descendant in the middle stage of Qi Refining Period. During the mid-stage of Qi Refining Period, their spiritual consciousness could only extend about ten meters, and the control range of flying swords was small. So, most of them still relied on holding their swords. It was only after reaching the Foundation Building Period that their spiritual consciousness could extend a few hundred meters, and then they could fight like cultivators.
Lin Jiang was holding a long spear. There was no need to be surprised; it was a common practice for Lin family descendants to train with spears. It wasn't mandatory, but everyone had accepted it, and Lin Jiang naturally did the same.
"Go!"
But Lin Jiang's spear skills were just a distraction. In the instant that the enemy's flying sword swung aside, Lin Jiang instantly activated over a dozen low-grade first-tier spiritual talismans.
Even the best low-grade first-tier spiritual talisman could only deliver a full-force strike equivalent to the third level of Qi Refining. It wasn't a significant threat to someone in the mid-stage of Qi Refining. However, this was still a diversion. The true deadly move was the silver needle hidden by Lin Jiang, which he had purchased from Anhua City.
"Plop"
Before the Zhou family members could react, a silver needle had already been inserted into his temple. Everything went black before him, and he lost his life.
"Sixth Uncle, well done!"
The Lin family members couldn't believe how brave Lin Jiang was. He killed the enemy in just one move, and they all cheered.
"The villain is using underhanded tricks, be careful of the needle-shaped weapon!"
The Zhou family members quickly realized what was happening and immediately strengthened their defenses, making it difficult for Lin Jiang to launch a surprise attack.
"I'll use money to crush you!"
Lin Jiang yelled loudly. He had hundreds of magical amulets in his hands. He was a skilled Talisman Maker and had brought all the amulets he had saved up over the years. They were worth a lot of money, but Lin Jiang wanted to spend them all.
The members of the Zhou family were extremely frightened in the face of this ruthless and brutal attack. They had no place to retreat and had no choice but to bravely face it.
At the same time, the battle in the sky became intense. Lin Batian fought against two opponents and held his ground without falling behind. Instead, he managed to suppress the two of them.
Zhou Quan's lifespan was less than ten years. He was weak and his strength had declined by sixty percent compared to his prime. On the other hand, Zhou Zilin was a newcomer who had become a Golden Core practitioner less than ten years ago. Faced with Lin Batian, he struggled greatly.
Lin Batian held a long spear and continuously thrust it forward, deflecting the flying swords of the two opponents. He was skilled in close combat, while the two opponents intentionally kept their distance to prevent Lin Batian from getting close.
However, Lin Batian remained calm. He had already mastered the rhythm of the battle. He was simply looking for an opportunity. With just one chance, he could defeat his enemies.
After a few dozen moves, Zhou Quan exposed a flaw first. He was weakened by his declining strength and had a gap in his defense. Lin Batian seized the opportunity and pierced through his protective energy with his spear, stabbing him in the chest. Lin Batian's spiritual power then surged into his body along the length of the spear.
"Ancestor."
"Back Thrust!"
(Translated by Gravity Tales 😡)
Zhou Zilin witnessed Zhou Quan's demise and became greatly concerned. He dashed forward, and Lin Batian swiftly executed a Back Thrust with his spear, piercing towards Zhou Zilin.
Lin Batian's spear attack was very strong. Zhou Zilin tried to strike Lin Batian's long spear with his sword, but Lin Batian's spear easily knocked his flying sword away and pierced through his protective barrier, hitting Zhou Zilin.
"We will die together."
Zhou Zilin was just as fierce. He grabbed hold of Lin Batian's long spear with one hand and controlled his flying sword with his consciousness, stabbing towards Lin Batian.
"Useless."
Lin Batian scornfully said, then he raised his hand and released a powerful palm strike, sending Zhou Zilin's flying sword flying away. He then twisted the tail of his spear, causing Zhou Zilin's body to twist and crack, just like Lin Die's previous attack.
"The ancestor is dead."
"The ancestor is dead."
The battle between the Golden Cores was the focus of everyone's attention. The people from the Zhou family saw their two Golden Cores being killed and their morale instantly dropped to freezing point. They completely collapsed, and some people realized the situation was bad and started to escape.
"Kill them all for me."
Lin Batian killed Zhou Quan and Zhou Zilin, without hesitation, he immediately moved towards the Zhou family's Foundation Building. This battle was to wipe out the entire family, he didn't want to leave anyone alive.
"Zhou family is finished."
Zhou family clan leader Zhou Ziming witnessed this scene, he screamed in anger; Zhou family was finished, everything was finished.
