Mainland Martial Arts

Lin Dingyuan secretly colluded with the Wang family to seize the position of patriarch. He knew the importance of the Nine Spirit Detoxification Herb to the Great Elder, and if Lin Dingkun successfully acquired it, his plans would be thwarted. Therefore, he decided to have the Wang family of Qingyang Town lay a tight net around the main family of Qingmu City.

After Lin Dingkun arrived in Qingmu City, he quickly realized something was amiss. The Wang family in Qingmu City seemed to be targeting him, making his journey to buy medicine difficult.

On the other side, Lin Dingyuan was talking to himself at his home in Muyang Town, talking to the unconscious elder.

"Grand Elder, please don't blame me. My second brother is too outstanding. If he had saved you, I would have lost the chance to be the head of the family. I cooperated with the Wang family just to fight for an opportunity for myself." There was helplessness in Lin Dingyuan's voice.

Lin Chaohua's poisoning worsens, his life in imminent danger. Meanwhile, Lin Dingyuan is secretly delighted at his impending succession as head of the clan. However, just then, Second Elder Lin Chaozhi returns with Lin Dingxing.

Lin Feng and his cousin Lin Nuofeng also returned, holding Lin Xifeng captive. It turned out that Lin Xifeng, under Lin Dingyuan's instructions, had attempted to assassinate Lin Dingxing while searching for the Tongmai Grass in Wanhuan Forest. Fortunately, Second Elder Lin Chaozhi arrived in time to save the protagonists.

After the Second Elder and Lin Dingxing returned, they sought out and bound Lin Dingyuan, intending to severely interrogate him. Once abducted, Lin Dingyuan, realizing his plot had been exposed, confessed everything without reservation. He admitted to colluding with the Wang and Murong families, and even hinted that Lin Dingkun might have met with misfortune.

"Lin Dingyuan, how dare you instruct your son to assassinate Lin Dingxing! Your behavior is a betrayal of the family!" The second elder Lin Chaozhi shouted angrily.

Lin Dingyuan replied in a trembling voice: "I... I just wanted my son to get more opportunities... I didn't expect it to be like this..." His expression was full of regret and self-blame, but he didn't seem to really realize his mistake.

Lin Feng glared at Lin Dingyuan in anger, his voice filled with grief and indignation: "You actually did whatever it takes to gain power and status! Now the Great Elder is poisoned and dying, and you still have the nerve to defend yourself here!" His eyes revealed disgust and disappointment with Lin Dingyuan.

Lin Dingxing interrupted, "Lin Xifeng was just following your instructions, and he was also used by you. I hope the family can give him a lighter sentence." His expression looked very heavy, and he felt very sad about Lin Dingyuan's behavior.

However, Lin Dingyuan did not realize his mistake, and he insulted his father, cousin, and others with an arrogant attitude.

"You old guys don't understand the importance of power at all! Only I can lead the family to prosperity!" Lin Dingyuan hissed.

"You unfilial son! How dare you insult your elders!" Lin Chaozhi was shaking with anger. He couldn't believe that his son had become so depraved and unrepentant.

"Father, you are too weak!" Lin Dingyuan continued to provoke Lin Chaozhi, his eyes full of madness and obsession.

"You...you unfilial son!" Lin Chaozhi was so angry that he couldn't speak. He felt that he had failed miserably in educating Lin Dingyuan, and had actually raised such a selfish son.

Lin Chaozhi was disappointed and angry at Lin Dingyuan's behavior. He did not expect his son to be so depraved and unrepentant. He decided to kill his own relative for the sake of justice in order to protect the dignity and interests of the family.

"Come here, drag Lin Dingyuan away and punish him according to family rules!" Lin Chaozhi said coldly.

Lin Dingyuan looked at his father in horror. He hadn't expected him to be so resolute. He began to beg for mercy and admit his fault, but it was too late. The family's enforcers dragged him away and carried out the family law.

After dealing with the affairs of Lin Dingyuan and Lin Xifeng, they also decided to take action against the Wang family and the Murong family to safeguard the dignity and interests of the family.

At the same time, the Lin family sent a group of elite children to Qingmu City to find the whereabouts of Lin Dingkun, hoping to find the Jiuling Detoxification Grass in time to save the elder.

To save the poisoned elder, Lin Dingkun resolutely embarked on a journey to Qingmu City in search of the Nine Spirits Detoxification Herb. However, he disappeared along the way and has not been heard from since.

The Lin family, distraught, dispatched elite personnel to Qingmu City to search for Lin Dingkun, but ultimately found nothing. The elder's condition worsened, and he could only rely on the skills of the doctors in Muyang Town to barely control the poison, but he remained unable to regain consciousness.

A few days later, the elites of the Lin family returned from Qingmu City and reported Lin Dingkun's disappearance to the head of the Lin family. After hearing the news, Lin Feng was filled with sadness and anger.

"Why did my father disappear? He went to Qingmu City to find an antidote for the Great Elder. It must be the Wang family who is secretly doing this!" Lin Feng glared in the direction of the Wang family, anger flashing in his eyes.

"Wang family! I will not let you go!" Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly and secretly vowed to make the Wang family pay the price.

Although the elder's poison was under control, he still couldn't be cured and remained unconscious. Lin Feng stayed by the elder's side every day, hoping that he would wake up soon.

"Child, don't be too sad. We will find your father." The second elder walked to Lin Feng, patted his shoulder gently and comforted him.

Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the Second Elder, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Second Elder, I know. I will definitely find my father and make the Wang family pay for what they have done!"

Second Elder Lin Chaozhi, fully aware of the urgency of the situation, decided to take action against the Wang and Murong families. At the family meeting, he spoke with a sharp gaze and a resolute expression, "Lin Dingkun's disappearance is related to the Wang family, and the Wang and Murong families have joined forces to attack our Lin family. We cannot sit idly by!"

The crowd was in an uproar, with some people indignant and others hesitant.

The heads of the Wang and Murong families sat in the study with worried faces, remaining silent.

The Wang family patriarch slammed the table and said angrily, "What should we do? Not only did we fail to eliminate Lin Feng, but we also lost a third-grade martial artist!"

The Wang family's head frowned and sighed, "The Lin family is the strongest in Muyang Town. Even if we join forces, we may not be able to win. What's more, the main family cannot send anyone to support us now."

The head of the Murong family frowned and paced around the room anxiously, "Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?"

The Wang family head pondered for a moment and said, "We can't just give up like this. Perhaps we can try to negotiate with the Lin family and find a peaceful solution."

The Murong family's patriarch stopped and looked at the Murong family's patriarch, saying, "Negotiation? Will the Lin family agree? They might think we are weak and can be bullied."

The Wang family head shook his head. "How can we know if we don't try? We can send an envoy to express our sincerity. At the same time, we can also demonstrate our strength and let the Lin family know that we are not to be trifled with."
