Before long, Lei Bao and Xie Qian returned to the central platform, bringing back the bodies of Lei Li and Xie Yingying.
Their faces were ashen, and they walked on opposite sides, seemingly having had an argument.
"Xie Yingying couldn't bear to part with the spiritual medicine even when death was imminent. She's the one who killed Brother Lei Li."
"That greedy, foolish woman, that was a Fire Python Tiger."
"Brother Lei Li shouldn't have gone to help her."
The younger generation of the Lei Family glared at the Xie Family members, muttering under their breath.
They had witnessed everything that happened in the valley. The Fire Python Tiger went straight for Xie Yingying, and they subconsciously believed the tiger only wanted to reclaim the spiritual medicine. Xie Yingying's greed and hesitation at the critical moment, her failure to immediately abandon the spiritual medicine, was purely her own doing and also implicated Lei Li, who was with her.
Lei Bao naturally learned of this and had been giving Xie Qian a cold shoulder.
The Xie Family members didn't dare to retort. Xie Yingying indeed had a big problem; their Xie Family was in the wrong.
Lin Yun watched quietly, trying hard not to laugh... Besides him, probably no one else knew that with or without the spiritual medicine, the Fire Python Tiger would have killed Xie Yingying and Lei Li.
Undoubtedly, this incident created a rift in the relationship between the Lei and Xie Families.
This situation was good news for the Lin Clan and the Mad Blade Martial Hall. The Lei and Xie Families were planning to ally against them, and now not only were the two people who were supposed to be married dead, but misunderstandings had also arisen.
"Brother Bao, that girl Yingying was at fault in this matter, but the main reason was the Fire Python Tiger. What's done is done. We must avenge them. Gather the experts of the Heavenly Yuan Realm, find the Fire Python Tiger, and kill it."
The smile on Xie Qian's face disappeared, and he said ruthlessly.
Lei Bao didn't respond to Xie Qian but glanced at the people around him and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, a Fire Python Tiger has appeared in the hunting grounds, threatening everyone and causing the deaths of Lei Li and Xie Yingying. We all share responsibility for this. If we don't kill the Fire Python Tiger, future hunting activities cannot be held here. I propose that we first unite the experts of the Heavenly Yuan Realm to surround and kill this demonic beast. As for the subsequent competition, we can leave it to those in the Earthly Yuan Realm to preside over."
"Yes, let's kill that demonic tiger first. This place is too close to Qingyang Town. If we don't deal with it, everyone will be restless." Xie Qian quickly echoed.
Now, the two families only had hatred in their hearts and no longer cared about the competition.
Luo Cheng and Lin Zhentian exchanged glances, both a little unwilling.
Going to kill the Fire Python Tiger now was essentially helping the Lei and Xie Families get revenge.
These two had just bullied Qing Tan, making Lin Zhentian even more reluctant.
Everyone was silent; no one responded to Lei Bao and Xie Qian.
A Fire Python Tiger in the Heavenly Yuan Realm was not so easy to deal with; people would die.
"Everyone, we organized this hunting activity together. Now that something has happened, do you all want to shirk responsibility? Will such activities be held in the future?" Lei Bao snorted coldly.
"Patriarch Lei is right, the Fire Python Tiger must be eliminated."
"This is an activity we organized together. If there's a problem, we should face it together."
"I agree, let's kill the Fire Python Tiger first!"
Under Lei Bao's angry authority, several forces immediately agreed.
Soon, only the Mad Blade Martial Hall and the Lin Clan had not expressed their stance.
These two families had the most Heavenly Yuan Realm experts; they were the main force in hunting the Fire Python Tiger.
"Brother Zhentian, I know you have grievances. This incident was caused by Yingying snatching your spiritual medicine, but your Lin Clan also benefited from the misfortune, avoiding being chased by the Fire Python Tiger, didn't you?" Xie Qian looked at Lin Zhentian, gritting his teeth and said, "Help us kill the Fire Python Tiger, and I'll compensate your Lin Clan with two Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicines. How about it?"
Lei Bao also quickly followed up, "Hall Master Luo, if the Mad Blade Martial Hall is willing to help, this old man owes you a favor."
This time, Luo Cheng and Lin Zhentian couldn't refuse anymore.
After reaching an agreement, the Heavenly Yuan Realm experts from the major forces gathered together to discuss how to surround the Fire Python Tiger.
After they left, the competition on the central platform continued.
The prizes for the hunting activity were still worth looking forward to. Apart from the bets between the major forces, the individual rewards were very generous.
The first place winner could receive four Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicines.
Without Lei Li and Xie Yingying, the suspense for first place fell on Wu Yun, Lin Dong, and Lin Yun.
Lin Dong had shown his Earthly Yuan Realm strength during his previous fight with Lei Li and was currently the most likely person to win first place.
Under the orderly guidance of the Earthly Yuan Realm referees,
The top five were quickly decided.
They were Lin Yun, Lin Dong, Wu Yun, Lin Xia, and Mu Lingsha! At this point, it was the ranking battles.
Lin Xia and Mu Lingsha directly gave up on the top three and competed for fourth and fifth place.
Both girls were proud and arrogant. Mu Lingsha was at Body Tempering Eighth Layer, but she was unwilling to admit defeat and challenged Lin Xia, who was at Body Tempering Ninth Layer.
On the platform, the battle between the two girls attracted everyone's attention. One was graceful and dignified, the other wild and lively, both stunning beauties.
Mu Lingsha's archery was formidable, almost hitting Lin Xia several times and poking several holes in her clothes. If Lin Xia hadn't cultivated the Flowing Wind Movement Technique, which made her fast and flexible, she might not have been able to defeat Mu Lingsha.
The two sides tangled for more than ten rounds. Finally, Lin Xia found an opportunity to get close. With the Spirit Sword Finger, she pointed at Mu Lingsha, instantly making her lose her combat ability.
Next was the competition for the top three.
"This guy has already broken through to the Earthly Yuan Realm. I won't compete with him for first place. Lin Yun, let's you and I compete," Wu Yun stared at Lin Yun, eager to try.
"Okay!" Lin Yun readily agreed.
He had originally wanted to tell Wu Yun that he was also in the Earthly Yuan Realm, but he was afraid Wu Yun would directly admit defeat, which would be boring.
The mission isn't finished yet! [Mission: Defeat Wu Yun. Reward: One bottle of Fourth-Grade Origin Qi Pills.]
Among the opponents present today, Lin Yun tried to create missions for every opponent, but only succeeded with Lin Dong and Wu Yun.
It's worth mentioning that after completing the mission to defeat Lin Dong once, he couldn't create another defeat mission. Lin Yun changed it to "discipline" and it worked.
He wondered if this system was legitimate.
It actually liked to discipline the main character!
[Mission: Discipline Lin Dong. Reward: Root Bone +2, Luck +2.]
Besides these two missions, there was another one.
[Mission: Win first place in the hunting activity. Reward: Spirit +2, Comprehension +2, Luck +2, one bottle of Fifth-Grade Gathering Origin Pills.]
Lin Yun and Wu Yun ascended the large platform. As the battle began, Wu Yun immediately unleashed the Blade Drawing Strike, which was fast and fierce, but Lin Yun easily dodged it.
Wu Yun cultivated the Raging Thunder Saber, and all his moves were offensive, as violent as thunder and incredibly sharp.
Unfortunately, he met Lin Yun.
"Mountain Shocking Fist!"
Lin Yun dodged a saber strike by shifting his body and threw a punch, accurately hitting the side of the saber.
With a clang, the precious saber snapped in two.
Wu Yun stared blankly at the broken saber, stopping his attack.
"You... you really haven't broken through to the Earthly Yuan Realm?" Wu Yun swallowed and asked.
Lin Yun countered, "Did I say that?"
"Damn it, isn't this bullying an honest person!" Wu Yun grumbled as he picked up the broken saber and walked off the platform.
"I've already broken through to the Earthly Yuan Realm, don't you think my Brother Lin Yun wouldn't have?" Lin Dong walked up, grinning as he passed Wu Yun.
"Your Lin Clan..."
Wu Yun gritted his teeth. He, who had always been arrogant, felt a sense of defeat.
Two Earthly Yuan Realm experts.
And Lin Xia at Body Tempering Ninth Layer.
Lin Hong and Lin Qingtan at Body Tempering Eighth Layer.
This generation of the Lin Clan truly had many talented individuals.
"I thought this competition wouldn't be interesting without Lei Li, but I didn't expect two more Earthly Yuan Realm experts to appear."
"These two are younger than Lei Li, yet they've reached this stage."
"The Lin Clan is truly blessed to have two geniuses at once."
The major powers cast envious glances towards the Lin Clan.
Now only Lin Yun and Lin Dong remained to compete for first and second place. For the other powers, the competition was already over. No matter how the two geniuses of the Lin Clan competed next, they would only become more envious.
"Brother Lin Yun, be careful. I came prepared this time."
Lin Dong cupped his fists, reminding him with full confidence.
He had already learned the second layer of the Mystic Gate Seal, and it was time to give Brother Lin Yun a surprise.
"Go all out, don't disappoint me." Lin Yun extended a hand, inviting him.
He also wanted to know how much his brother had improved.
Did he need some serious discipline?
