Chapter 221: 221
Chen Minjia thought for a moment and could roughly understand what Lin Sheng meant . She had learned about the earlier battle via her own methods, and she was aware that Lin Sheng’s teacher was a master from the Ironfist Society . Since Lin Sheng had sent the young girl to fetch her, she knew that something must have gone wrong, and that something could affect her badly . After she figured it out, and when her own predicament came to mind, she decided at once . “I will go with you!”
“Aren’t you afraid that I am lying?” Khadula was surprised .
“Your style of movement is the same as that of the Ironfist Society . And you know Lin Sheng is in Xylond . So I believe you,” Chen Minjia said quickly . “When are we leaving? What Lin Sheng wants me to do for him?”
“Bring all of Lin Sheng’s relatives to Shermanton in Xylond . You can contact my elder brother for the details of the operation,” said Khadula .
“Okay!” Chen Minjia nodded at once . She could always remote-manage her business, but she only had one life, she figured . Knowing that Lin Sheng was a member of a powerful organization like the Ironfist Society, she knew that listening to the advice of the pros was the best option in the realm of the supernaturals .
After a while of discussion, Chen Minjia quickly picked up the phone and called Lin Sheng . After confirming on the nitty-gritty, she sent out her men to look for Lin Sheng’s relatives . Lin Sheng’s instruction was explicit: by hook or by crook, she was to bring everyone on board, even if it was against their wills . It was a waste of time to do the explaining, as he would explain it later when they arrived in Xylond .
While Chen Minjia hit the ground running, Khadula also began his hunting spree . Sticking strictly to Lin Sheng’s instruction, Khadula treated everyone with evil thoughts as her food . In times of chaos and dwindling resources, she would devour anyone who came within her sight, whether they were hooligans, robbers, thieves, or rapists .
In the late noon, while Khadula was devouring his hundredth victim, Chen Minjia had packed everything and sent everyone onboard a cruise ship which was scheduled to depart to Xylond . Before the Redwin military could realize it, the cruise ship left and was on its way to Xylond . Considering the relatively close distance between Xilin and Xylond, the vessel was expected to arrive two days later if things went smoothly .

This operation was very different from the relaxed manner of which Lin Sheng and his family previously took . They must reach Xylond waters before the enemy found out .
Over at the Heaven’s Spire, Redwin, snow was falling and cumulating on between the many towering spires . At this time, inside a stone house among the sea of white-stone buildings around the spire, Vanyi sat on the sofa with a staff in his hand, eyes gazing at the burning fireplace . He had sent his student, Maham, into the Heaven’s Spire, which was the only place where Maham could receive a wholesome, sequelfree treatment to his injury . And for this reason, he had utilized a favor that someone had owed him since a lifetime ago .
“Latest update . ” A red-haired woman, wearing a white blouse and a pair of black dress pants, came out of the shadow . “Our men in Huaisha, Xilin, have found the kin of Lin Sheng . They are being relocated . ”
“What about Khadula the Thousand Arms?” asked Vanyi, his voice matter of fact .
“Not yet found . ” The woman shook her head .
“Lin Sheng… Khadula had stopped the assassins of the Heart of the Ocean from killing Lin Sheng on numerous occasions . His reaction was dramatically emotional . ” Vanyi’s face appeared calm, but his hands were clenched into fists . “It is, thus, apparent that Lin Sheng is important to the Thousand Arms . ”

“You mean…”
“I am too far away and won’t make it on time . Ask Reinier to go and bring his own men . Everyone to be equipped with a repulsor . I would like to see how he could continue to devour people!” There was a murderous look in Vanyi’s eyes . Redwin was the world’s superpower, it was not the first time that incidents of the monster devouring their soldiers happened . Vanyi had already found some ways to deal with this type of beast, and the repulsor was one of them .
When linked with the physiological readings of the wearer, this miniature device would immediately explode if anything terrible happened to the wearer . It was highly explosive, and the toxic substance and unique radiation released during the explosion were extremely lethal to any living being . This device had blown apart many transcended monsters with devouring ability in the past .
“Understood . I will immediately inform Reinier . ” The woman nodded .
“Go now . ”
The woman left the house and made a quick call . Meanwhile, Vanyi stayed in the house, remaining silent for a while before he took out a mobile phone and dialed a series of numbers .
“Vanyi? What’s up?” A male voice with a high vocal pitch that sounded like a rooster answered .

“Do me a favor . A ship has just departed from Redwin to Xylond, I need you to help my student, Reinier, intercept the ship . I am afraid that the Steel Lord is on board,” Vanyi explained .
“I am busy, Vanyi . ”
“Don’t worry; it won’t delay your drug . One unit of obsidian,” Vanyi offered .
“One point five . ”
“Only one unit . I will find someone else if you decline . ”
“Deal! But who are you bluffing, Vanyi? There are only five Six Wingers you can contact in Xilin . Three of them are on the frontline, and one of them will not give a shit about you . I am the only one whom you can look for!” The rooster voice sneered .
“I know that, of course . ” Vanyi pinched his forehead .
“You don’t know a damn thing!” The rooster voice retorted . “All those at the top want is stability . It is stability, got it? Fighting among the Six Wingers is the upper tolerance limit . Don’t create more trouble!”
“I know, don’t worry,” Vanyi said after a while of silence .
“After this job, and whether or not it is successful, please stop causing any more troubles . The Ironfist Society is in the crosshair now . If you are still this stubborn, expulsion will not be the only punishment . ” Once that was said, the phone was hung up .
Vanyi put down the phone and remained silent .
Lin Sheng put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that Chen Minjia had departed . As for the other relatives of the Lin family, he could not care less . But it did not mean that Lin Zhounian and Gu Wanqiu were not concerned . So he had to bring all the kin from both sides, especially the next of kin of his parents . Also, not forgetting Chen Minjia, who had taken a tremendous risk to help his family . He must not let any danger befall her .
Coming out of his rented house, Lin Sheng first went to check out the construction site . The work was progressing at a steady pace and the expected to complete in half a month tops .
After that, he checked how Adolf was doing in his meditation . Adolf was so gifted that a day of his reflection was equivalent to five days of the average person . At this speed and with his talent, Adolf was deemed top-notched even among the Temple Warriors in Blackfeather City . Lin Sheng then further corrected Adolf’s mistakes and flaws in his physical training . After lunch, he headed straight to the warehouse that Adolf leased for him .
All the ingredients that Lin Sheng needed for his summoning ceremony were in the warehouse . This time, he wanted to summon the half-human, half-goat Thunderbeast that he had killed yesterday . It was a powerful creature, only slightly less potent than when Lin Sheng was at his average condition . Its overall strength should be at the upper limit of a Three Winger, which was equivalent to Level 7 in Blackfeather City, a not so puny master who could have an overwhelming influence in some prefecture-level cities in Xilin . With such a level of power, it could definitely make some impact on the higher level of fighting . After all, this monster was only a step away from becoming a suppressive Four Winger .
