Regarding his daughter-in-law's reaction, Xiao Lin naturally understood the reason behind it.
She thirsted for revenge, yet she didn't want to involve her current family. One could only say that she was a kind, foolish girl. At the same time, this only further strengthened Xiao Lin's determination to seek revenge for his daughter-in-law.
"Xiyue, you should know that my Xiao Clan is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Your enemy is merely a trifling Dou Wang level clan; I do not take them seriously. Furthermore, my trip to the Central Plains isn't entirely because of your revenge."
"But since you are the daughter-in-law of me, Xiao Lin, then I must settle this grudge for you!"
Xiao Lin's tone carried a color that brooked no argument.
"Father, but..."
"Yue'er, this time I support Father's decision. Your grudge must be avenged!"
Yang Xiyue originally wanted to say something more, but she was interrupted by Xiao Zhan this time.
Thinking back to when he was out gaining experience and first met Yue'er, he felt a wave of lingering fear. If he had arrived even a moment later, would he have missed his chance with Yue'er forever?
Moreover, following that, he and Yue'er had been hunted for nearly a year!
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan supported his father's quest for revenge even more!
"Alright, I understand. Father, thank you. However, if things prove impossible to achieve, please prioritize your own safety above all else. Revenge can be taken slowly."
Seeing that both her husband and her father-in-law were insisting, Yang Xiyue finally stopped her opposition. At the same time, because of the determination of her father-in-law and husband to avenge her, Yang Xiyue felt even more moved.
So, the matter was settled.
Afterward, to make things easier for her father-in-law, Yang Xiyue shared every piece of information she knew regarding her enemies. The Qi Clan of the Central Plains, a small clan whose strongest member was merely a Dou Wang.
However, she had heard that the Qi Clan was a small subordinate force under the Yellow Spring Pavilion, one of the Four Pavilion of the Central Plains. Still, for such a small force to claim a connection to the Yellow Spring Pavilion was quite a stretch.
It was likely the Yellow Spring Pavilion didn't even know such a small clan existed under its umbrella. After all, according to what Yang Xiyue said, her Yang Clan had originally been a subordinate of the Ice River Valley, one of the Three Valleys of the Central Plains.
Yet, they were still wiped out just like that, and the Ice River Valley didn't lift a finger to care!
Actually, situations like this were very common in the Central Plains. One must know that many small forces in the Central Plains essentially attached themselves to various first-rate forces. To put it bluntly, they were just using the name.
In reality, no one took it seriously.
Only a very small portion of forces would actually be cared for by the powers they relied upon. This Qi Clan, being a mere Dou Wang level clan, was basically impossible to catch the eye of the Yellow Spring Pavilion.
After learning this information from his daughter-in-law, it was enough for Xiao Lin. Forget the fact that the Qi Clan hadn't caught the Yellow Spring Pavilion's eye—even if they had, so what?
With Xiao Lin's current strength, he didn't fear the Four Pavilion at all, as they were at the tail end of the first-rate forces!
When the original story begins, Huang Quan Zun Zhe of the Yellow Spring Pavilion is only a Two-Star Dou Zun; right now, he would only be lower!
If Huang Quan Zun Zhe didn't show his face, fine, but if he dared to interfere, then he could let the Yellow Spring Pavilion find a new Leader.
Xiao Lin was just that confident!
In the days that followed, because Xiao Lin had already announced that he would be heading to the Central Plains in a while, Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue did not return to the Yun Lan Sect. Instead, they remained at the Xiao Clan.
As for Xiao Lin, he had already begun making preparations for his trip to the Central Plains. Given this premise, all matters of the Xiao Clan, large and small, had to be properly arranged beforehand.
To this end, Xiao Lin, in his capacity as the Xiao Clan Leader, directly held an election for the Young Clan Leader. This was to ensure that after he left for the Central Plains, the Xiao Clan would still have a backbone.
The election for the Xiao Clan's Young Clan Leader was public.
In the end, as expected by most of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Zhan successfully secured the position of Young Clan Leader!
In truth, this was somewhat similar to an Emperor appointing a Crown Prince. The only difference was that in most cases, a Crown Prince was the Emperor's son. As for the position of Young Clan Leader, anyone with the capability could compete for it!
However, the most outstanding member of the Xiao Clan's next generation was Xiao Zhan.
Naturally, as the son of the Clan Leader Xiao Lin, Xiao Zhan logically and smoothly became the Young Clan Leader. With a Young Clan Leader in place, should any accident befall Xiao Lin in the future, Xiao Zhan could directly succeed him as the Clan Leader!
Xiao Lin did this so he could embark on his Central Plains journey without any lingering worries.
Furthermore, Xiao Lin took a trip to the Yun Lan Sect to inform Yun Shan of his itinerary. Xiao Lin's purpose was to ensure that during his absence, the Yun Lan Sect and Yun Shan could protect the Xiao Clan and prevent any accidents from occurring.
After all, Xiao Lin still remembered how rumors had begun to spread after he had been away from the Xiao Clan for only six years. Yun Shan knew a portion of Xiao Lin's circumstances; with him guarding the Xiao Clan, such a situation naturally wouldn't happen again.
Wasn't the deal Xiao Lin made with Yun Shan back then for this very purpose?
After all matters were properly arranged, approximately three months had passed.
On this day, Xiao Lin announced a long-term closed-door cultivation session.
He then handed over all the affairs of the Xiao Clan to Xiao Zhan, the Young Clan Leader, and the three Great Elders. The three Great Elders—Xiao Ze, Xiao Zhen, and Xiao Yi—were all personally promoted and trained by Xiao Lin, so they were naturally loyal to him.
Thus, when Xiao Lin headed for the Central Plains under the guise of closed-door cultivation, they wouldn't cause any trouble for Xiao Zhan.
In this manner, Xiao Lin quietly left the Xiao Clan, unnoticed by anyone.
Qingshan Town.
This was a peaceful small town within the borders of the Jia Ma Empire.
Bordering to Qingshan Town was the famous Magic Beast Mountain Range of the Jia Ma Empire. On this day, in mid-air along the road from Qingshan Town leading to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, a spatial tunnel suddenly opened.
Immediately afterward, a figure flashed out from within.
Who else could this person be but Xiao Lin, who was supposed to be in closed-door cultivation at the Xiao Clan? Actually, the moment he emerged from the spatial tunnel, he had already transformed into the appearance of Lin Xiao!
To the outside world, he was Lin Xiao, not Xiao Lin!
"Hmm, where is this? The Magic Beast Mountain Range?"
Raising his eyes to look into the distance, Xiao Lin discovered that he had actually miscalculated the spatial coordinates this time!
This caused Xiao Lin to feel a wave of embarrassment.
Just as Xiao Lin was about to leave, his heart suddenly stirred, and he stopped his movement to reopen the spatial tunnel.
"Since I've come here, it seems I might as well go in and have a look around!"
Accompanied by Xiao Lin's soft murmur, a look of interest appeared in his eyes.
If there was anything in the Magic Beast Mountain Range that could interest Xiao Lin, there was actually only one place!
As for the so-called overlord of the Magic Beast Mountain Range—the Amethyst Winged Lion King—he didn't take it seriously at all. It was merely a Rank 6 Magic Beast; with one slap, he could crush a whole field of them!
If the creature dared to come out and block his path, Xiao Lin wouldn't mind harvesting a Rank 6 Magic Core.
