Chapter 429: Breakthrough (Part 1)

"However, we can’t send too many people; large groups of people are too conspicuous and could easily be detected by mutated creatures."

"Additionally, the Yoder family might become aware of the situation. It would be best to keep the group under ten people. The Yellow Owlfire’s territory is likely guarded by mutated creatures, so the spiritual cultivators’s strength must be sufficient."

"If I leave the city, the Yoder family won’t suspect that I’ve gone back to the disaster zone. Tony Lin isn’t suitable; his presence is too notable. So, I recommend leading the team by myself."

To be precise, every move of the Lin family is under scrutiny, so there aren’t many people they can utilize.

Amalia thought the same, but she also worried about Yolanda Yoder, "How is your injury?"

Yolanda Yoder understood her concern, so she smiled, "I’ve been healed already. The water-type spiritual cultivators in the Fruit City No.1 had helped me. I never expected their healing abilities could surpass those of wood-type spiritual cultivators."

Amalia was momentarily taken aback.

"Aunt, it was Amalia who taught them healing techniques."

Kenny Lin spoke up in support of her girlfriend.

Yolanda Yoder was stunned by how natural he spoke when he called her and she wasn’t sure how to respond to him, not because of Amalia’s involvement in teaching the healing techniques, but because he addressed her as ’aunt.’

Amalia wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

The audacity of this person is really endless!

She sometimes wondered why Kenny Lin was so natural when he addressed her family with those familial terms.

Tony Lin cleared his throat, "Yes, Kenny is right. Those advanced level healing techniques were shared by Amalia selflessly."

Amalia, who had already benefited from it, thought, "..."

No doubt, they were all family.

Yolanda Yoder finally snapped out of her thoughts.

She had long been aware of Amalia’s achievements at Heavenly Path University, but she was still surprised by her selflessness in sharing advanced level healing techniques with other people.

However, expressing amazement now seemed like it would be belated.

"That’s fine, then it’s settled?"

"I will select a few capable individuals to accompany you. Fruit City No.1 is large, so losing a few people won’t attract much attention," Tony Lin had no objections as Yolanda Yoder was indeed the best choice.

Amalia also provided a bunch of protective items such as spiritual artifacts and amulets.

"I don’t need them."

Yolanda Yoder smiled wryly at the sight of these items.

"The last spiritual artifacts you gave me weren’t even used, and I don’t need the amulets. With the imminent attack on the city, you should keep them for your own protection."

Since she declined, Amalia didn’t insist.

The following evening, Yolanda Yoder left with the people Tony Lin had secretly chosen.

The task needed to be done early, as it would be impossible to leave the city once the mutated creatures began their attack.

After this, Amalia began her closed-door training.

When Kenny Lin advanced to the next level, Amalia was also ready for her own breakthrough.

At the time, she held back to protect Kenny Lin, but now she planned to advance to Tier 2 before the city defense battle.

Although Fruit City No.1 was on the edge of the central disaster area, the concentration of spiritual energy here was higher than in the royal durian capital city.

Amalia set up a spiritual energy gathering formation around the room and began her cultivation.

Kenny Lin did nothing but sit at the doorway and keep watch.

Night fell, and the surroundings were quiet, with for the occasional footsteps of a patrol team.

Everyone else seemed to have gone to sleep.

Kenny Lin sat with his eyes closed like a statue when a faint sound of flapping wings reached his ears and causing him to open his eyes suddenly.

His deep, dark eyes showed a hint of cold flame as he slowly lifted his head and gazed up at the city sky.

The night was pitch black, with the moon hidden behind clouds, and not even a star was visible.

A rush of air swept past his feet, and in an instant, Kenny Lin shot up into the sky like a rocket.

A powerful aura rose into the air, immediately alerting the experts in the city.

The figures emerged from all directions.

"What happened?"

"What’s going on?"

Hans Manuel who is responsible for keeping watch tonight, sensed the surge of energy and immediately looked up at the sky.

Those with lower levels of strength could not see what lay behind the thick clouds.

However, Hans Manuel was a Tier 1 cultivator, and his sharp eyes quickly pierced through the clouds could see Kenny Lin who was fighting with several eagles.

"Major General..." A soldier started to speak, but Hans Manuel cut him off.

"Stay on high alert; we’re under attack."

Just as Hans Manuel finished speaking, a light rain began to fall from the sky.

The rain landed on the soldiers’ faces, but when they wiped it away, they realized it was not rain but blood.

When they looked up, they saw nothing.

"Major General, what’s happening?"

"Stay calm. Relay my orders: remain vigilant at all times. The high-level mutated creatures have started sending their underlings to scout human territory," Hans Manuel said seriously.

"Should we act as usual?" asked a lieutenant.

"Yes, maintain the normal order. Don’t let these mutated creatures sense anything unusual."

If they realized humans were prepared, the high-level mutated creatures might suddenly change their plans, rendering their preparations useless.

"Yes, Major General."

The lieutenant immediately took a team to resume their normal patrol.

At that moment, a shadow took advantage of everyone’s focus on the attack and stealthily approached Amalia’s closed-door training area.

Through the gap in the window, the figure saw Amalia sitting inside.

Her eyes were closed, and spiritual energy surged around her, indicating that she was at a critical stage of her cultivation.

A sinister and eager glint flickered in the shadow’s eyes.

The mutated eagles that were scouting for information crashed to the ground one by one and splattering blood everywhere.

The shadow was forced to suppress its reluctance and quickly retreated.
