Peng Zheng and Peng Huan would never expect the main factor in this incident was the young man they met recently. Yun Lintian's information allowed Han Bingling to catch Poison Valley off guard.
"We better lie low during this period. I reckon Han Bingling would pull another stunner soon." Peng Zheng said further.
Peng Huang nodded his head and closed his eyes.

In a blink of an eye, another three weeks had passed by. During this period, Heavenly Cloud restaurant had gained more reputation among the middle and commoner classes as the price was cheap and the food quality was even better than those high-end restaurants.
"Headmaster, we have found their secret lair. We are waiting for your instruction." In his bedroom, Yun Lintian woke up from his meditation as he received a message.
A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he replied. "Send me the information."
As Yun Lintian's voice fell, a small book suddenly emerged from a shadow under the candlelight on the bedside table. Yun Lintian picked it up and skimmed through the content within the book. A while later, he put it down and leaned back against the head bed, pondering over his next move.
The so-called secret lair of this human-traffic group wasn't that secret as it seemed. It was located in a famous teahouse under the Peng clan. Going in wasn't a problem with Yun Lintian's current strength, but now was not the right time.
"Big Brother Yun?" On the side, Linlin tilted her head, looking at Yun Lintian curiously.
Yun Lintian smiled and pulled Linlin into his embrace. "Have you finished digesting?"
"Mhm!" Linlin closed her eyes, enjoying Yun Lintian's embrace. During this month, her strength had increased tremendously by eating the abyssal profound beast core. Right now, she was already at the peak of Heaven Profound Realm and soon about to break through into the next realm.
Linlin's convenient and straightforward practice made Yun Lintian envy. He was painstakingly absorbing the best-grade Profound Stone every day and night, yet his progress wasn't anything near Linlin's speed.
He rubbed Linlin's head and asked curiously. "Why haven't you grown in size? You are no different from the first time we met. Could it be the foods are not enough?"
"Let me show you, Big Brother Yun." Linlin abruptly jumped out from Yun Lintian's arms and landed on the floor two meters away. All of a sudden, her body speedily expanded and turned into a three meters large tiger.
Yun Lintian looked at Linlin in astonishment. Her current appearance was close to Bai Xiaoyun's White Tiger form back then. Her previous fluffy immature face was now full of majestic sense, mixing with a trace of arrogance. Yun Lintian could clearly feel an innate oppressing aura continued to emanate from her. He believed anyone with average soul power would tremble in front of her.
"You can transform at will?" Yun Lintian asked. He stood up and went to stroke Linlin's back.
"Yes, Big Brother Yun. In this form, I can display my true strength. In the future, I can help Big Brother Yun fight." Linlin's voice was still the same as before.
"Then big brother will rely on you from now on." Yun Lintian laughed in a good mood. Of course, he would never let Linlin show her true self unless it was necessary. Otherwise, she would be hunted down by everyone.
Linlin squatted down and enjoyed Yun Lintian's caress.
"Lintian, someone wants to see you. It seems he comes from the Lin clan." At this moment, Yun Lingwei's voice resounded from the outside of the room.
"Lin clan?" Yun Lintian's hand stopped and thought of the possibility. "Alright, arrange the VIP box for him. I will be there soon."
"Okay." Yun Lingwei responded and walked away.
Yun Lintian turned to Linlin and said. "Do you want to go with big brother?"
Without hesitation, Linlin transformed back to her miniature version and hopped onto Yun Lintian's shoulder. "Let's go, Big Brother Yun."
Yun Lintian smiled and headed toward the VIP box.
When he stepped into the box, Yun Lintian saw a handsome middle-aged man sitting calmly on the chair. His body exuded no aura, as though he was an ordinary person. However, Yun Lintian could perceive a terrifying power hiding behind his seemingly normal appearance.
The middle-aged man raised his head slightly to look at Yun Lintian. With an amiable smile, he introduced. "You must be Yun Lintian. As expected, you're indeed extraordinary… My name is Lin Zihan. My purpose in coming here is to have a good talk with you."
Lin Zihan… The Third Master of the Lin clan? Is he coming here for Lin Wuwei's incident? Yun Lintian was surprised to see a lofty figure like Lin Zihan appear here.
Yun Lintian directly sat down opposite Lin Zihan and clasped his fists. "It's an honor to meet Third Master Lin here. I don't know what instruction Third Master has for this junior?"
Lin Zihan seemed to like Yun Lintian's straightforward attitude. He didn't hide anything as he said. "To tell you the truth, I was sent here by Patriarch to get acquainted with you. I presume you should know something about the Peng clan's ambition. I believe we have a common enemy. Don't you think so?"
Yun Lintian smiled. "Why would you come to me? I am the one who is responsible for Lin Wuwei's demise. Don't you want to avenge him?"
"You might not know that Lin Wuwei cannot be counted as the Lin clansmen anymore. He had committed an unforgivable crime and was expelled from the clan by Patriarch along with his family line. Why should we avenge for someone like him?" Lin Zihan explained calmly.
Yun Lintian could see Lin Zihan did not lie. At the same time, he was a bit confused. What crime did Lin Wuwei commit? He asked directly. "Can Senior tell me what crime did he commit?"
"He had involved with human trading.." Lin Zihan's response made Yun Lintian surprise.
