Chapter 1373: Chapter 712 Temporary Retreat_2

After completing all that, Xu Zuo cupped his hands in salute to the cultivators and was the first to leave the battlefield.

Seeing Xu Zuo leaving, Lin Tianyun and the others had no intention of staying there any longer.

Thus, Lin Tianyun and his companions greeted the cultivators present and then shot off in a certain direction.

As they left, the remaining cultivators also began to clean up the battlefield, and soon, everyone had departed.

Before long, the entire battlefield was empty, leaving only traces to prove that a great and epic battle had once erupted there.

After Lin Tianyun and the others left the battlefield, they immediately returned to the temporary cave abode where they had stayed earlier.

Upon seeing their return, Sun Ling’er, who had not participated in the battle, immediately greeted them.

After exchanging greetings, Sun Ling’er was very interested in the details of the great battle.

Although earlier, she had seen some dazzling rainbows outside the cave abode and sensed faint commotions.

But since this place was more than a hundred miles away from the battlefield, she did not know many specific processes or the final result.

However, seeing the four of them return safely and their auras stable without any signs of injury.

Upon closer inspection, only Lin Tianfeng’s face was somewhat pale, as if he had consumed a lot of energy.

Seeing this, Sun Ling’er looked at Lin Tianfeng and quickly asked, “Brother Feng, are you injured?”

Hearing this, Lin Tianfeng’s expression softened a lot, and he reassured her, saying, “Haha… Ling’er, you’re overthinking it!”

“I just consumed a bit more energy; I am not injured.”

Hearing Lin Tianfeng say this and seeing Lin Tianhu and the others next to him remain calm, their subtle smiles did not suggest any significant loss.

Given this, it seemed that the people the Lin Family sent this time were at least unharmed.

Understanding this, Sun Ling’er couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

And next, since all Lin Family members returned safely and uninjured, it might mean the outcome of this great battle had already been concluded.

But the powerful strength of the Fourth Order Earth Armor Dragon was something Sun Ling’er could imagine being formidable, even if she hadn’t experienced it herself.

As for the final result, Sun Ling’er couldn’t say for sure what it would be.

With anticipation, Sun Ling’er, while confused, couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Feng, since you’re back, what about the Fourth Order Earth Armor Dragon?”

“Did it escape?”

“Or did you probe its strength and eventually abandon the plan to besiege the beast?”

Hearing this sentence, Lin Tianhu laughed heartily from the side.

“Sister-in-law, we Humans claimed a great victory this time. With the joined forces of dozens of fellow cultivators, we successfully slew that Earth Armor Dragon.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Ling’er immediately displayed a look of disbelief.

To know, their opponent this time was a Fourth Order demonic beast, renowned for its defensive power, the Earth Armor Dragon.

Facing such a beast, even a Nascent Soul Stage expert might not easily slay it.

And in this battle, the Human cultivators didn’t even have a single Late Stage Golden Core expert.

Though quite a number of Golden Core Stage experts from the Human side participated, with numbers surpassing fifty at one point.

Notwithstanding, the Human camp here indeed lacked top-tier combat power.

At the very least, with such a personnel structure, the overall strength they could exert was quite limited.

Thus, wanting to slay such a powerful Earth Armor Dragon was simply immensely difficult.

Understanding this, Sun Ling’er was actually somewhat incredulous about this result.

But since Lin Tianhu said so, despite her disbelief, Sun Ling’er knew Lin Tianhu was steady and would definitely not joke about such matters.

So, half-believing, Sun Ling’er further inquired.

“Brother Tianhu, is what you said true?”

Hearing this, seeing that Sun Ling’er was still a bit doubtful, Lin Tianfeng quickly began to recount the specific processes of the battle.

Before long, after Lin Tianfeng’s detailed explanation, Sun Ling’er finally believed the fact.

Immediately after, Sun Ling’er was overwhelmingly excited.

After calming down a bit, Sun Ling’er accepted this fact.

At that moment, Lin Tianfeng and the others looked very relaxed with rosy faces.

Immediately afterward, they began to chat idly.

“Grandpa Sea, in this besieging of the Earth Armor Dragon, the process was rather smooth.”

“But next, let us rapidly recover our True Essence Mana, and later, we’ll investigate the specifics of the Spirit Ore resources.”

Hearing this, Ye Pinghai nodded and then agreed.

“Young lad Tianyun is right, this siege battle did go quite smoothly.”

“Although nearly half of our Human camp was lost, the Earth Armor Dragon somehow didn’t unleash its full potential.”

“Perhaps it was because the Earth Armor Dragon, having been in long-term slumber, wasn’t quite adapted when abruptly awakened.”

“Or it was in some special state, thus not at its peak strength.”

“Aside from that, Xu Zuo’s formation was genuinely mysterious and played an enormous role.”

“Regardless, the Earth Armor Dragon is dead now, which is a massive surprise in itself.”

“Moreover, those who perished all belonged to other factions, unrelated to the Lin Family, so we don’t need to worry.”

“Next, let us swiftly recover our True Essence Mana, while remaining cautious.”

Hearing this series of words from Ye Pinghai, Lin Tianhu and others nodded, evidently in strong agreement.

They chatted idly, discussing some future plans for the Lin Family.

After this matter was concluded, they each entered the practice room to restore the True Essence Mana consumed in the battle.

…

Half a month later, one day.

In the morning, sunlight pierced through thick clouds to shine straight on the earth.

At that moment, Lin Tianyun and the others appeared outside the temporary cave abode.

Ye Pinghai gazed far at the direction of the Spirit Stone Mine Vein, then turned his gaze to the people beside him.

“Tianyun, Tianfeng, Tianhu, today is the day Xu Zuo plans to explore the Spirit Stone Mine Vein’s reserves.

“After all this secluded cultivation, how are you all feeling now? Have you fully recovered?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianyun smiled calmly and said, “Grandpa Sea, rest assured, we three brothers have recovered nearly completely; our strength is definitely not much weaker than before the battle.”

Seeing Lin Tianyun’s assurance, Ye Pinghai nodded satisfactorily and then spoke, “In that case, we should go and meet them.”

As soon as his voice dropped, Lin Tianyun chuckled and flattered, “With Grandpa Sea leading us, we brothers can indeed be less worried.”

“Haha…”

“Speaking of which, Xu Zuo asserted that the Spirit Stone Mine Vein’s reserves here value definitely not less than sixty million low-grade spirit stones.”

“Today is the day to enter the Spirit Ore, and who knows, perhaps the actual reserves may exceed expectations.”

“If that truly is the case, then our Lin Family’s gains will undoubtedly be greater.”

Lin Tianyun spoke with excitement, filled with strong anticipation on his face.

Not only him, but Lin Tianfeng and others were also similarly enthusiastic.

Within them, due to various reasons, their support for and contribution to the Lin Family over the years wasn’t that extensive.

Compared to other less skilled and less talented family members, their contributions were notable.

However, when compared to Lin Tianming, the gap was substantial.

It’s worth noting that all of them belong to the Tian generation, just like Lin Tianming, with Lin Tianfeng even being a few years older than Lin Tianming.
