Chapter 234: Conspiracy Revealed

Lina went through a long and arduous test in the inheritance space and finally mastered the essence of the beast control technique. The feeling of controlling the beast was like a power that resonated with the heavens and the earth, running through her whole body and bringing her infinite power and wisdom.

"The beast control technique is indeed magical." She whispered to herself, and spread her hands slightly, as if she could feel the breath of the strange beasts in the space. It was a wonderful perception formed by the power of countless strange beasts, making her feel as if she could call on these powerful beings to serve her at any time. She was excited in her heart, and could not help but feel the power of the inheritance.

In front of her, the shadow of the old ancestor gradually faded. He looked at Lina, his eyes full of relief and reluctance.

"Child, I am very pleased that you can inherit this inheritance. You are the last hope of my Bai family. With you, the family will surely regain its glory." The old ancestor's voice was low and full of warmth.

When Lina heard this, she felt a pang of pain in her heart and her eyes were slightly moist. She knew that the old ancestor did not have much time left and his spirit body was about to completely dissipate between heaven and earth. Despite this, the old ancestor remained calm and continued to instruct her.

“Remember, beast taming is not only about controlling the power of strange beasts, but also about integrating it with your mind. You must make good use of this power, not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and don’t let power blind your eyes.” The old ancestor’s voice was full of profound wisdom.

Lina nodded with a firm look in her eyes, "Grandpa, I will keep your teachings in mind and live up to the expectations of the family."

The figure of the ancestor became fainter and fainter, and finally turned into a faint silver light and dissipated in the void. Before disappearing, his last smile was gentle and calm, as if he was full of confidence in the future.

"Go, son, my time is up."

As the last sentence fell, the spirit of the ancestor completely disappeared between heaven and earth, as if it had never existed. Lina stood there, with a trace of sadness in her eyes. She knew in her heart that from now on, no one could guide her like the ancestor. But fortunately, she got the family inheritance, which made her feel that she had a huge responsibility.

Lina took a deep breath, forced down the sadness in her heart, closed her eyes and felt the strength in her body. She knew that she couldn't immerse herself in grief. The ancestor gave her this inheritance in the hope that she could use this power to rebuild the glory of the family. Now she must become stronger to cope with the next challenge.

In an instant, silver light flashed, and Lina's figure appeared in reality again.

She opened her eyes, and the scene before her was still the familiar valley, and it seemed that not much time had passed. However, she could feel that her strength was completely different from before. There seemed to be a vast power flowing in her body, which was the infinite potential brought by the beast control technique.

Ye Fan had been guarding there. When Lina appeared again, he stood up quickly with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"You're back." Ye Fan's voice was calm, but his eyes were full of worry for Lina.

Lina looked at Ye Fan, feeling somewhat grateful. She knew that she was very vulnerable in the process of inheritance, and Ye Fan had been protecting her and ensuring her safety. She smiled slightly and nodded, "Well, I succeeded."

Ye Fan observed Lina's condition and found that she exuded a wonderful aura, which was the change brought about by the beast control technique. He nodded slightly, knowing that Lina had received the complete inheritance.

"How do you feel?" Ye Fan asked casually.

Lina looked up into the distance, a new light flashing in her eyes, "The beast control technique is indeed extraordinary. Although I haven't fully mastered it yet, I can already feel its power. The ancestor told me that I need to walk the rest of the way on my own."

Ye Fan nodded and didn't say much, but he knew in his heart that Lina's growth had taken a huge step forward. And the inheritance she received would undoubtedly make her more powerful in this world.

"But... those people outside haven't given up yet." Lina's voice became a little heavy. She knew that several major families outside had been secretly watching this inheritance. Now that she has completed the inheritance, they will definitely take action.

"What are your plans?" Ye Fan asked.

Lina took a deep breath and raised her head, her eyes showing a hint of calmness and determination, "Since they want this inheritance, I will let them know what the price is to get it."

Ye Fan looked at Lina and knew that she was ready and was no longer the hesitant girl.

"Let's go, let's go out and face them." Lina clenched the jade pendant in her hand, her eyes firm.

Suddenly, many figures appeared behind the bushes and trees around.

These people approached step by step, wearing various gorgeous robes or armors, and they were obviously from prominent backgrounds. Their expressions showed obvious greed and intentions, and they kept looking at the jade pendant in Lina's hand. They were from several major families in Black Rock City. They had been hiding for a long time, and finally appeared after Lina accepted the inheritance and surrounded her and Ye Fan.

The leaders exuded a strong aura and were obviously masters from the major forces in Black Rock City. They stared at Lina coldly, as if waiting for her reaction.

“Miss Lina, congratulations on successfully obtaining the inheritance.” One of the middle-aged men in black battle robes had a fake smile on his face, but his tone was faintly threatening. “However, I’m afraid this inheritance is not something you can enjoy alone. If you know the situation and hand over the inheritance, I can save your life.”

Lina sneered, her eyes revealing contempt. She looked at the self-righteous people in front of her with sarcasm, and said coldly: "I just came out of the inheritance space and saw a group of scoundrels surrounding me. It's really disgusting. Do you people still expect me to hand over the inheritance to you?"

The other man in a gorgeous brocade robe was none other than Bai Yuntao, the second master of the Bai family in Black Rock City. He took over the conversation with a gloomy face, "Ms. Lina, what you said is wrong. Although you have obtained the inheritance, it is wishful thinking to take it all for yourself. Our big families have been operating in Black Rock City for many years, and our influence is spread throughout the city. If you don't know what's good for you, you will only bring about your own destruction."

Bai Yuntao's voice was threatening, and his eyes were full of calculation. He had already sent people to leave tracking means on Lina in advance, so even if Lina escaped, they would be able to find her. But he didn't intend to let the situation develop to that point. If it can be resolved with words, he would rather not use force.

Lina glanced coldly at the several families in front of her, her eyes full of disgust. She had always known that these families were not kind, but she had never expected their faces to be so ugly. After accepting the inheritance, she had a deeper understanding of power and responsibility. She would never hand over this precious beast control technique to these greedy people.

"You really think I will give in?" Lina narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke in a cold tone.

"Ms. Lina, a man of insight is a wise man. Don't put yourself in unnecessary danger." The third person to speak was an elder of the Huang family. He spoke with gloomy eyes, and it was obvious that he had lost his patience.

"Humph!" Lina hit back bluntly, "You are just a bunch of greedy villains, thinking about how to plunder other people's things all day long. I will never let you get involved in this inheritance."

The atmosphere around suddenly became tense. The representatives of several major families looked at each other and had obviously made up their minds that if Lina did not comply, they would not hesitate to use force.

At this moment, Ye Fan took a step forward and stood beside Lina. His expression was calm, but there was a glimmer of sharpness in his eyes. His voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable power: "What do you really think you can take from us today?"

Ye Fan's tone was not high-profile, but it made the people around him stunned. Although the major families did not know Ye Fan, they could feel that the young man in front of them seemed to have extremely powerful power hidden in him.

"Young man, you'd better not get involved in this matter." Bai Yuntao frowned and said coldly. He didn't know Ye Fan's strength, but his intuition told him that Ye Fan was not an ordinary person.

"I won't intervene? You must be mistaken. I'm here to stop you." Ye Fan smiled slightly, with a hint of contempt in his expression.

The people from several major families were obviously angered by Ye Fan's attitude. A master from the Bai family immediately drew out his sword and pointed it at Ye Fan, "Boy, you are looking for death!"

Ye Fan remained calm and stared at the other party coldly, as if he didn't take this group of people seriously at all.

Lina stood aside, watching Ye Fan silently. She knew in her heart that Ye Fan's strength was far superior to these people. She knew that Ye Fan didn't care about these threats at all, and the reason why he didn't take action immediately was because he didn't regard them as real opponents at all.

"In that case, then we don't need to waste time talking." The Huang family elder snorted coldly, then waved his hand, and masters from several major families immediately surrounded them, their murderous intent clearly revealed.

Lina sneered at these people, without any fear in her heart. She knew that as long as Ye Fan was there, today's situation was completely in their hands.

"Since you want the inheritance so badly, let's see if you have the ability to do it!" She shouted sternly, her eyes as cold as frost.

The battle is about to break out.
