Lin Xuan felt invigorated as he led them back.
Yan City!
Half a month had passed since the battle over the Ancient Tomb Mansion, and the flow of people within Yan City had gradually returned to normal.
However, discussions about Lin Xuan's astonishing feat of suppressing all opponents and sweeping away the three major clans inside the ancient tomb had not faded in the slightest.
After all, Yan City was merely a remote and insignificant town. If not for the sudden appearance of the tomb of a Nirvana Realm expert, the Four Great Clans would never have set foot here.
Yet it was precisely these lofty and powerful forces that had been completely suppressed by Yan City's own genius — Lin Xuan!
When City Lord Shi first heard the news, he was filled with disbelief. After all, before Lin Xuan left for the ancient tomb, he had only just sparred with him, having recently broken through to the Form Creation Realm. How could he possibly fight three elite geniuses at once, especially those famed throughout the Great Yan Dynasty?
It wasn't until Xia Wanjin and the others returned and personally recounted everything that City Lord Shi finally believed it.
His emotions were mixed — both joy and worry.
Joy, because Lin Xuan's growth rate was terrifying. His own judgment had been excellent, securing such an outstanding son-in-law.
Worry, because Lin Xuan had thoroughly offended three great clans, meaning endless trouble was bound to follow.
That very day, Zi Yue rushed over.
"Father, I went to the Lin family again just now. Junior Brother Lin Xuan still hasn't returned. However, according to Old Master Lin, the Lin Clan won't punish him. Have you found any news about the Wang and Qin families? Will they send people to cause trouble for Junior Brother Lin Xuan?"
She was deeply worried, having already urged her father multiple times to send people to investigate the Four Great Clans.
However, the imperial city was far away, and City Lord Shi's position within the dynasty was too low, his influence too limited. Gathering intelligence was extremely difficult.
City Lord Shi looked helplessly at his daughter. Zi Yue's anxious expression made it obvious that she had already fallen deeply for Lin Xuan.
He sighed softly. "Lin Xuan's reputation has already spread throughout the imperial city. The geniuses of the three clans suffered a great humiliation. I'm not sure about the Qin Clan, but the Wang Clan has reacted strongly. I heard they've already contacted the Lin Clan, demanding they stay out of the matter, and are preparing to send people to deal with Lin Xuan."
Zi Yue thought for a moment. "Although Junior Brother Lin Xuan belongs to a branch line of the Lin Clan, his bloodline still traces back to them. His talent far surpasses Lin Langtian, the Lin Clan's so-called top genius. The Lin Clan wouldn't abandon such a peerless genius, right? They should send someone to protect him."
City Lord Shi shook his head. "Hard to say. These matters involving great clans are complicated. Let's wait and see. If the Wang Clan truly intends to move, it should be within the next few days. But why hasn't Lin Xuan returned yet? Could he be deliberately avoiding trouble?"
Just as the father and daughter were speaking, a steward rushed in, panic written all over his face.
"City Lord, something terrible has happened! The Wang Clan has arrived — and they're heading straight toward the Lin family!"
"They've really come…" City Lord Shi immediately stood up. "Let's go."

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan rode atop Hu Ying, returning toward Yan City with three companions and six beasts.
The moment they entered the city, they noticed countless people rushing in one direction — toward the Lin residence.
"Look, that's Lin Xuan!"
"Young Master Lin Xuan, the Wang Clan has arrived at your home. They're probably here to cause trouble. You should hurry back!"
"I heard the Wang Clan brought a Form Creation Realm expert this time. You'd better not go — leave the city and save your life!"
Many recognized him and, knowing he had offended the three great clans, hurriedly tried to warn him.
"They moved fast."
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. It seemed Wang Yan had wasted no time persuading his clan's elders to act.
"Hu Ying, faster."
