Chapter 159: Two Paths for You

Lin Feng looked at Niu Jiuzhou, puzzled: "What resource allocation?"

He only knew that the Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting was hosted by the imperial clan, gathering Heaven's Pride from all sides.

Once these people secured a ranking, they would receive a Reward from the imperial clan.

Pill Master Gu Dan, Huang Ling'er, and Xiao Xuanming laughed.

They had assumed that in this Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting, no Tudi from Leiling Province would make it past this round, so many things had not been explained clearly to Lin Feng.

But this time the Lin Family could charge into the Top Ten, so naturally they had to make the remaining matters clear.

"Lin Clan Leader, the hosting of the Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting is actually closely tied to the resource allocation among the four regions of east, south, west, and north."

Pill Master Gu Dan took a deep breath, then pulled a map from his Storage Bag.

That map was the entire territory of the Daqian Dynasty.

The Daqian Dynasty's Eighteen Provinces were divided into four major regions: east, south, west, and north.

In the Western Six States, there were thirteen clearly marked red dots within that region.

At this moment, Pill Master Gu Dan pointed at one of the red dots and said: "The Western Six States have a total of thirteen Lingxiao Treasure Lands."

"Every Lingxiao Treasure Land abounds in superior-grade and even top-grade Spirit Stones, along with countless rare treasures, exotic beasts, and spiritual herbs. Obtaining one Lingxiao Treasure Land can make a clan prosper for several hundred years."

After Pill Master Gu Dan finished speaking, Lin Feng's brow furrowed—how did this relate to the Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting?

As if seeing Lin Feng's doubt, Huang Ling'er picked up the thread: "The thirteen Lingxiao Treasure Lands are redistributed at every Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting, but there aren't enough to split evenly among our Western Six States."

"Therefore, the strong take the lion's share, and the weak get nothing."

"In previous years, not a single Tudi from Leiling Province survived, so the Lingxiao Treasure Lands were never within our reach."

"On the contrary, the Haoran Sect of Chihuo Province alone monopolizes nine Lingxiao Treasure Lands."

Hearing this, Lin Feng was stunned.

Does that mean the remaining four Lingxiao Treasure Lands are split among the other four states?

"The allocation of these Lingxiao Treasure Lands has an unwritten rule throughout the entire Daqian Dynasty: they are divided according to the rankings of the Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting."

Xiao Xuanming added: "If anyone can secure a spot in the Top Ten of the Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting, they naturally get a big share!"

At this point, Lin Feng basically understood.

He looked at the map—the entire Daqian Dynasty had the fewest Lingxiao Treasure Lands in the west.

The east had over thirty Lingxiao Treasure Lands, while the south and north each had over twenty.

No wonder among the Four Great Strong Prefectures, Chihuo Province was the weakest.

"Does that mean after this Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting ends, my Lin Family can also obtain Lingxiao Treasure Lands, and a big share at that!" Lin Feng said, his eyes flickering.

"That's the idea!" Pill Master Gu Dan laughed and nodded.

Lin Feng clenched his fist and burst into laughter on the spot.

"Then I say, all thirteen Lingxiao Treasure Lands will be taken by my Leiling Province. The other five states get none!"

With these words, his spirit soared to the clouds.

Pill Master Gu Dan, Huang Ling'er, and the others were all slightly taken aback.

If the Lin Family truly could secure a Top Ten seat, then the allocation of these Lingxiao Treasure Lands would be decided by the Lin Family. Not sharing with the other five states seemed feasible.

At this moment, the battle for the Shifang Arena had reached a white-hot stage.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

Thirty-five people fought over the spots—some were defeated, some were surrounded and attacked, and no one could tell how the situation would unfold.

"Tap-tap..."

Lin Ya brought Lin Chaoyang down onto one of the arenas.

Of the ten arenas, the Lin Family was to occupy four seats.

This was Lin Feng's most perfect plan, and also the Lin Family's Mangque Tunlong Zhi!

Lin Ya patted Lin Chaoyang's shoulder and said: "Brother Chaoyang, I'll hold this for you for a while."

"That's... still not going to work, right? If you leave later, I'll still be targeted."

Lin Chaoyang was very clear about his own strength.

At this stage, there were no weaklings.

He alone had made it this far by luck.

In a real fight, Lin Chaoyang would be exposed.

"No worries. I'll kill them until they don't dare come snatch it." Lin Ya said domineeringly.

Just then, two Tudi of the Shentu Family landed on this arena.

"Huh? Followed the wrong person—this isn't that Lin Yan." The Shentu Family people frowned.

"This arena is taken. Go somewhere else!" Lin Ya said calmly, his left thumb already pushing the Iron Sword up to expose a section of the blade.

Sword Qi quietly spread out.

The two exchanged glances, cold smiles playing on their lips.

"Kill this one first, then kill Lin Yan and take the Saint Fire." The taller of the two said coldly.

Immediately, the other looked at Lin Ya, his gaze icy: "You can't hold this arena today. Stick your heads out, and I'll give you a quick end!"

Lin Ya's gaze turned cold: "You're the helpers the Pill Hall brought? You still dare covet Brother Lin Yan's Saint Fire? It seems I can't let you leave!"

The four sons of the Lin Family supported each other. Since the Shentu Family was looking for trouble with Lin Yan, Lin Ya naturally couldn't let them go.

"Overestimating yourself. Who do you think you are?"

"You beat a few weaklings, and now you think you can run wild in front of my Shentu Family?"

The two roared repeatedly and attacked in an instant.

The final stage of the contest was especially bloody.

See them and fight!

Lin Ya's pupils shrank sharply, and the sword in his hand was drawn in an instant.

"Clang!"

The sword hum lingered. Lin Ya, as if strolling leisurely through a courtyard, stepped past the two.

He sheathed the Iron Sword, the Sword Intent in his eyes extinguished, and the Cultivation of Martial Pill Realm First Layer within him slowly settled.

During those three days in En Fire City, he had already broken through his shackles.

Dealing with those two from the Shentu Family was like slicing melons and chopping vegetables.

Heads hit the ground with a dull thud, and the spectators below wore expressions of shock.

"Both remaining Tudi of the Shentu Family are dead?"

"No way! Lin Ya cut down two with a single sword?"

"This kid's future is limitless…"

Murmurs rose on all sides.

The contest for the ring had only just begun.

The Shentu Family was brutally eliminated!

Seeing this scene, the Leader of the Shentu Family blazed with fury.

"What's going on?"

Shentu Gou roared in astonishment. Both of his Shentu Family disciples had Cultivation at Martial Pill Realm First Layer, yet they were instantly killed by Lin Ya in a single exchange?

Has the Sword Cultivator truly become this terrifying?

"Haha! Shentu Family folks, your damn disciples are useless!"

"You can't even handle some country bumpkins from the Lin Family — truly embarrassing."

"Why don't you withdraw from the Eight Great Families? After all, you don't deserve the name!"

The other factions of the Eight Great Families jeered in unison, giving Shentu Gou no face at all.

"Hmph!"

Shentu Gou's pupils shrank, and he let out a cold snort.

His fury was about to erupt, but he forcibly suppressed it in an instant.

The Medicine Hall's commission could not be left unfulfilled.

If the Shentu Family disciples couldn't kill the Lin Family people,

then he would do it himself!

At this moment on the ring, seeing Lin Ya easily cut down two disciples of the Eight Great Families, for a time no one dared to go trouble him.

This Killer God truly could not be provoked.

Elsewhere, Lin Xuan had also claimed a ring for herself.

She sat at the edge of the ring, her little feet swinging in the air, popping Void Spirit Pills while waiting for someone to come challenge her.

But everyone deliberately steered clear.

Who would go out of their way to provoke someone with a Martial Dao Sacred Body?

"So boring."

Lin Xuan pouted and looked toward the ring where Lin Yan was, not far away.

Lin Yan had no intention of defending a ring. At this moment, he had already arrived before the last remaining member of the Lin Clan.

"You have two choices: kill yourself, or be killed by me."

Lin Yan's expression was indifferent. He reached out and grabbed, and a flaming spear was already in his grasp.
