Even so, these Gu alone were worth millions of prival stones.
"This is the advantage of the Transformation Path," Lin Yan thought. "As long as you gather a full set of Gu, you can form a complete transformation killer move. It saves effort, but it's easy to learn and hard to master."
He could tell that Zhang Bai's attainnt in the Transformation Path had at least reached the Master level. Even while using Giant God Transformation, he could still rely on the Cloud Bird transformation to move through the air. That level of control was not sothing ordinary Gu Masters could achieve.
Continuing his search, Lin Yan found two storage Gu—a Great Stomach Snake Gu and an Elder Gu, both Rank 3.
The Great Stomach Snake Gu stored a large amount of supplies, including food, clothing, tools, and many Rank 4 and Rank 5 Gu materials, most likely used for feeding his Gu. It also contained dozens of Transformation Path killer moves, worth around three hundred thousand prival stones.
The Elder Gu held an even greater surprise—seven hundred thousand prival stones. As expected of a Rank 5 expert.
But Lin Yan still felt sothing was missing. As a clan leader, Zhang Bai would not need to carry large amounts of prival stones on him. Whenever needed, he could simply access the Family's treasury.
"Good… very good." Lin Yan let out a quiet laugh. "A gain of nearly two million prival stones in one move. I had just spent everything and was completely broke. He really delivered everything to ."
His mood improved slightly. Being chased without reason had left a deep resentnt in his heart. Now that Zhang Bai was dead, this matter would not end so simply. The Zhang Family would have to pay the price.
He did not stay in the desert any longer. Without delay, he moved through the night, returning straight to Sandwell Oasis.
When Lin Yan finally arrived, his clothes were covered in dust and blood. Without stopping, he carried Zhang Bai's head and stepped directly into the eting hall of Fla Lake Island City.
The doors burst open. Inside, the senior mbers of the Huang Family were gathered. The mont they saw him, the atmosphere froze.
Huang Ming stared at Lin Yan, shock clear on his face.
"Rank 4… Upper-Stage cultivation?
Then they saw Zhang Bai's head. Their expressions changed instantly as soone blurted out, "Zhang Bai… the Clan Head, a Rank 5 expert… you killed him?!"
In an instant, the Rank 4 and Rank 5 elders of the Huang Family were alard. They rushed over one after another, surrounding Lin Yan, their eyes filled with shock as they looked him up and down, trying to confirm if it was real.
Shan Feng's expression was the most complicated. He looked at Lin Yan for a long mont and thought, Truly, every generation produces its own monsters.
Lin Yan remained calm. He smiled lightly and said, "I encountered an opportunity outside. I broke through to Rank 4 and obtained a few Rank 4 Gu. That's how this happened."
As soon as he spoke, the tense atmosphere eased slightly. The elders exchanged glances. Thinking of the two Yellow Golden Relic Gu that had disappeared from the Family earlier, they found it easier to accept.
Soon, voices of praise rose one after another. "As expected of the Huang Family's greatest talent in history. The future of the Family is secure!"
"Hahaha, Zhang Bai ruled for decades, and in the end, he still fell to our Family's top genius!"
Soone stepped forward and said, "Since he has already reached Rank 4, we should appoint him as a Family Elder imdiately."
Huang Ming nodded and said, "Good. Since Lin Yan has interest in refining Gu, let him take charge of all the Family's Gu Houses. All core Gu recipes will be open to him, including Fire Pattern Gu and others."
Lin Yan's eyes lit up slightly. This was exactly what he wanted. He did not show much reaction and only gave a small nod. Once one achieved sufficient strength, what position or resources couldn't be obtained?
With Zhang Bai's head placed before them, no one dared question his so-called opportunity. Whether true or not, his strength was already enough. In everyone's eyes, he now stood at the sa level as a Rank 5.
At this mont, the First Elder suddenly spoke, "Given Lin Yan's age and cultivation, why not make him Young Clan Head?"
Huang Ming's heart sank slightly. He swept his gaze across the hall. The other elders remained silent, but their aning was clear. He let out a slow breath, already prepared to agree.
Lin Yan watched everything coldly and imdiately waved his hand in refusal, "Young Clan Head is unnecessary. My ambitions do not lie there. Let's first discuss how to handle the Zhang Family."
Managing the Family would only bind him down. Power like this looked tempting, but it would cost him ti, and ti was what he lacked the most.
Hearing this, Huang Ming relaxed slightly and smiled, "Don't worry. The Zhang Family will definitely give an explanation."
