The pigeon watched Lin Yuan, who seemed oblivious to the people around him, whistling to himself as if he didn't understand their words. The pigeon's eyes showed curiosity. What could possibly make both sides so tense?
"Attack, kill them."
The leader of the group directly gave the order. The seven or eight people around them rushed towards Lin Yuan and Lin Xue. Lin Yuan and Lin Xue, as the eldest son and daughter of the Lin family, were crucial. If news of their deaths spread throughout the Lin family, it would surely cause panic. The Lin family was already in a precarious state, and such an event could determine whether they could hold on.
If they couldn't hold on, the Lin family would disappear from the city forever. This city would no longer be known as Lin, but as Li. The seven or eight people surrounded the three. The pigeon's expression remained calm. These attackers' auras were relatively weak. The pigeon considered how much strength he would need to use to deal with them. Even if he could only use a third of his strength, he was still far beyond what local cultivators could contend with. In fact, with just one finger and full power, the pigeon could kill a person instantly.
Among the seven or eight people, one saw the pigeon blocking their path and roared angrily, "Kid, get out of the way! Do you intend to stop us? Think carefully about the consequences."
With that, he licked his tongue, a strangely menacing gesture, and revealed a murderous intent on his face towards the pigeon. The pigeon still didn't move, which made the assassin feel underestimated. Enraged, he immediately drew his saber. A saber light descended. Lin Yuan saw this and covered Lin Xue's eyes, realizing that such a bloody scene was not something a little girl should witness.
Lin Xue didn't know why her brother was covering her eyes, but since it was her brother's wish, she didn't intend to resist. She often had this thought. Ever since that incident, her heart had been solely focused on her brother, not wanting him to be burdened any further.
The pigeon hadn't noticed when the assassin moved. He stood his ground, making the surrounding killers believe the pigeon was stunned and unwilling to resist. As the saber struck the pigeon's neck, *crack, crack* sounds echoed. The assassin's saber shattered, cracks filling it. A wave of energy swept out, sending the assassin flying. As he was propelled away, his body exploded.
*Boom!*
Like a brilliant firework, this spectacle was witnessed by everyone. Lin Yuan looked at the pigeon with shock on his face. This guy's physical strength was comparable to his own at full power. It was even more so for Lin Yuan, who was only using half his strength. It was fortunate that the other party hadn't shown killing intent earlier, otherwise, Lin Yuan would have certainly died. Perhaps this guy could truly help him.
Lin Yuan thought this, but his own subtle intentions remained. He was looking for what the pigeon was after. Anything that could attract the attention of such a being had to be a treasure. He wanted to snatch it away, to get it before the pigeon did.
The pigeon shook his head, looked around, and asked with confusion, "Why are you one person short? Where is that person? I was just thinking about how to deal with you all, and I didn't pay attention to your positions. Where is he?"
"Uh!!"
This sentence carried a mocking tone. The more they listened, the more uncomfortable they felt. The scene from just moments ago was etched in everyone's minds, making the surrounding killers dare not move, for fear that they would be the next to die.
The pigeon stood still, looking at everyone with curiosity. He had been too deep in thought and hadn't noticed the situation. The pigeon's body was not something ordinary weapons could pierce. He had merely countered the attack with his body, and the attacker had essentially committed suicide.
The pigeon could say that he hadn't even moved, and his mind wasn't even fully present. Seeing this, the pigeon sighed, "If you don't want to say, then forget it. He probably ran away. You all stay here."
The pigeon opened his palm, and a light shot out, enveloping all the assassins. When the light dispersed, their bodies turned into dust and scattered in the wind.
The pigeon clapped his hands and said, "So weak. It's troublesome to even have to consider how to kill them."
Lin Yuan felt an urge to punch him when he saw that expression. He couldn't help but feel that way.
"Alright, let's enter the city."
The pigeon seemed to know the way and walked at the forefront. Upon arriving at the city, the pigeon had already used his spiritual sense to gather information. Lin Yun City, the main city of the Lin family, was created by the Lin family ancestors. In this city, there was only one illustrious family: the Lin family.
The Lin family was the ruler of this city. As the stewards of the city, the Lin family did not implement any excessively violent policies. The Lin family also prohibited fighting within the city. In essence, the Lin family was a family that always acted for the good of the city.
At this moment, the Lin family was in a state of panic because the difficulties they faced were immense.
"Patriarch, we are still missing something!"
"Patriarch, there is nothing left we can offer here."
"Patriarch, the young master and the princess have returned."
The Patriarch was a young man, appearing to be only in his early twenties, with an air of maturity about him. His previously melancholic expression brightened upon hearing the butler's voice. If there was anything that could make the Patriarch smile, it was only those two little treasures.
Lin Xue and Lin Yuan had been doted upon from the moment they were born. Their mother had left them forever when she gave birth to them. These two children were the hope she left him, and he would surely make these two children bring back their mother.
"Father, we're back."
"Daddy, I'm back."
The two walked in and entered the hall. The pigeon followed behind. As for why he didn't enter the hall first, the pigeon didn't want to make a bad first impression. This was a collaboration, and to put it bluntly, the pigeon had a request for them. Lin Yuan could help, but Lin Yuan was not the Lin family Patriarch and couldn't command all personnel. To mobilize personnel on a large scale, the Patriarch's approval was needed.
"Xue'er, Yuan'er, who is this behind you?"
"Father, this is the big brother we met when we went out to play. He said he has important matters that require our help and can solve our troubles."
Lin Yuan, in front of the Patriarch, acted like a child. It was known that the Patriarch was usually fierce and stern with others.
"I wonder what this young brother wants from me? As long as it is something I can do, I will do it, as long as you can resolve this predicament."
Lin Longtian sensed that the pigeon's aura was stronger than his own, and perhaps he could resolve the issue.
"Just call me Pigeon. Please state your troubles."
"I am looking for an item or related energy. As long as I can find that item, it will suffice."
"Good."
Lin Longtian felt that finding an item was simple. If he mobilized the entire Lin family, he wouldn't be afraid of not finding it.
The pigeon saw the look in the Lin family Patriarch's eyes. This person had a straightforward personality, which the pigeon liked. Unlike that boy who had hidden intentions. The pigeon was aware of Lin Yuan's thoughts.
Of course, he knew. The pigeon was not afraid of Lin Yuan at all. In a few more days, after adapting to this world and unsealing his suppressed power, even Lin Yuan at full strength would not be his match.
Powerful strength was the source of confidence. In the world of cultivators, power was king.
"Elders, you may all leave for now. I have something to discuss with this young brother. Xue'er, Yuan'er, you two also leave."
"Yes, Father."
"Understood, Daddy."
Soon, only the pigeon and Lin Longtian were left in the hall.
