Watching the Dragon Binding Rope vanish into the void without looking back.
Lin Zhan sighed, a helpless expression on his face. "Alas, with this IQ, no wonder that idiot second son of the Imperial Dragon family managed to fool him so badly. His brain really needs treatment."
After saying that, Young Master Lin broke into a lewd grin and, with a flash of lightning, ran towards the bedroom.
Far away in the arsenal, the young Taoist, looking at the communicator Lin Zhan had hung up, knew the gravity of the situation.
He had heard the Dragon Binding Rope speaking on the video earlier. Although he didn't know the old dragon's true identity,
anyone with eyes could see that even in such a state, someone was there to save him. This old fellow's identity must be extraordinary.
Immediately, the young Taoist scurried on his short legs towards Elder Qian's laboratory.
Although the war in the Necromancer plane had ended a week ago, Lin Zhan had spent this past week doing nothing but staying home with his wife to make amends for his neglect.
Everything had been left to the young Taoist to manage, directly causing the poor child to gain two pounds from exhaustion.
It wasn't until evening that the young Taoist returned to the Lin family ancestral home.
Sitting at the dinner table, the young Taoist looked at Lin Zhan curiously and asked, "Big Brother, why aren't you eating this delicious food? Why are you staring at the plates?"
Lin Zhan instinctively stuck out his tongue. "Damn it, why do I feel like the plates are more appetizing than the food? I have this urge to lick them."
The young Taoist nodded as if he understood, "You're probably hungry. You'll be fine if you eat more."
"By the way, Big Brother, let's talk about some serious matters. We've sent out our entire Shadow Department and Death Warriors, even the Leng family's Hunter Brigade and the Zhang family's Water Ghost Brigade, but we haven't found any spatial rifts. Are you perhaps overthinking this?"
Lin Zhan withdrew his gaze from the plates and took a sip of the tiger bone wine on the table.
"That shouldn't be the case. And it's not just me considering this. I even specifically asked Xiao Ji to deduce it, and the conclusion was that the danger originates from within."
"You have to understand, Xiao Ji's maternal clan is the Nether Crow clan, and they are experts in divination and deduction. They are certified, unlike your Senior Brother's amateurish attempts."
The young Taoist nodded. "Then there are only two possibilities: first, the people we sent out aren't strong enough to find it, or second, someone is helping the Ten Thousand Races to hide the spatial rifts."
Lin Zhan pondered for a moment.
"Go and gather the Wolf Cavalry and Old Ancestor Wang Jian's Second Army, along with Jiang Zhongtian's Sixth Army. I'll invite a few Old Ancestors to join us. This time, we'll search the mother planet top to bottom until we find it."
The young Taoist quickly shoveled the steak on his plate into his mouth, then tore off a chicken leg and stood up.
As he walked away, he said, "I'll go get the Iron-Eating Beast Legion and have them send their Iron-Eating Beasts along. For these giant pandas, searching for treasures and exploring secret realms is their forte. Big Brother, warn the royal families and leaders of various special zones. This time, anyone who dares to be insincere will be purged."
Lin Zhan threw a tiger tally to the young Taoist. "Take the Executioner Guard Regiment with you. Let them handle the killing. You're still young, try to do less bloody work."
The young Taoist chuckled. "These are minor matters, as long as Ya'er doesn't dislike me."
With that, he ran out again, carrying the whole roasted chicken.
Lin Zhan looked at the young Taoist's receding figure and couldn't help but shake his head. An eight or nine-year-old child, at the age of carefree youth.
But now, this little fellow, if not covered in corpses, could at least be said to have blood on his hands.
It couldn't be helped. Who asked them to live in such a cursed era?
Zhang Lingxiu walked out from the inner room, saw Lin Zhan lost in thought, and went behind him, helping him massage his shoulders.
"Stop overthinking. We were born into this family, so we must bear this responsibility. If you can't bear to leave Xiao Ming, then don't just sit around at home, go and help him. I can handle things here, you don't need to worry about me."
Lin Zhan nodded, then chuckled and scooped up his wife, heading towards the bedroom...
He could help, but that didn't mean he had to help right now. Besides, for a child, a little more experience was good.
The next morning.
Lin Zhan woke up early, finished breakfast quickly, and then led his personal guard towards the Wolf Cavalry encampment.
When Lin Zhan arrived at the Wolf Cavalry encampment, he happened to catch the pre-departure review.
Lin Zhan walked to the young Taoist's side and was immediately stunned by the scene before him.
Led by Temüjin, all the grassland kings were riding on hairless prairie wolf kings.
Young Master Lin suppressed a chuckle and said to the young Taoist, "Brother-in-law, what's going on here? These grassland wolf kings, they're not all going to be bald from now on, are they?"
The young Taoist was also bewildered and shook his head. "I don't know. Fourth Brother said that after he drugged the ancestor of the Iron-Eating Beasts, he didn't dare to go back and check. Otherwise, that panda would have come out to deal with them even if it meant facing divine punishment."
Lin Zhan awkwardly waved at Temüjin, then quickly redeemed more than 20 sets of King-grade Rune Armaments from the system.
"Old Ancestor Temüjin, these are Rune Armaments. They're not special, just expensive. Distribute them to the hairless prairie wolf kings, otherwise, it'll be too embarrassing when we go out."
Temüjin quickly accepted the Rune Armaments, then looked at the assembled hairless prairie wolf kings with a hint of disdain.
He turned to Lin Zhan and said, "Marshal, to be honest, it's just that no other combat pets can withstand the pressure of the King rank. Otherwise, I would definitely replace these bald husky-like creatures. It's just too damn embarrassing. Ever since we came back, Huo Qubing and his peers have been laughing at us."
Lin Zhan replied with understanding. "Alas, such are the unpredictable turns of life. Be optimistic. Perhaps they'll grow their fur back tomorrow."
Watching Temüjin lead the Wolf Cavalry away, Lin Zhan said to the young Taoist beside him,
"Brother-in-law, your elder sister-in-law looks quite beautiful in that wolf fur cloak."
The young Taoist nodded in agreement. "Yes, Ya'er also looks very beautiful when she wears it."
Lin Zhan casually remarked, "I heard that in the Northeast, people are wearing mink fur."
The young Taoist's eyes lit up. "Big Brother, I think we should take a trip to the Northeast. All our Lin family members are fighting in the Changbai Mountain spatial rift. Don't you think we should go and see?"
Lin Zhan showed a look that said, "I knew you were thinking this," and nodded.
"Then let's go and take a look first. It doesn't cost anything anyway. Let's bring the Executioner Guard Regiment. When the Old Ancestors find out anything, we can go directly and kill people."
"Big Brother is brilliant. You're just looking for a bargain."
The young Taoist said with admiration.
