Upon hearing Cheng Mountain's words, Lin Feng squinted slightly.

After contemplating for a few seconds, he nodded and spoke:

"Since Village Chief Li is so gracious, let him come to meet me personally. I'll wait for him at the village gate."

Cheng Mountain was momentarily stunned, then he reacted.

Leader Lin is worried about a trap, afraid of falling into a snare.

Still, he's just a messenger, so since Lin Feng agreed to the meeting, he would report back truthfully.

After Cheng Mountain nodded, he quickly left the area with twenty boxes of grenades, heading deep into the village.

Three or four minutes later, a specially modified midsize war vehicle drove out from the village entrance.

Its style differed from the light war vehicles behind Lin Feng, covered in layers of heavy armor, especially reinforced at the front and rear, with bulletproof windows outfitted with iron grilles, making it practically impervious.

Its striking appearance clearly distinguished it from the vehicles of Dawn Village; it was evident at a glance that it did not belong to the same village.

As it approached slowly, Lin Feng distinctly sensed a Tier Two aura, its intensity on par with his own.

When the vehicle stopped accelerating, maintaining a distance of ten meters from the group, a young man in civilian clothes emerged from the side door.

He appeared to be around thirty, a little older than Lin Feng, but his actual age was several times that.

However, for a Tier Two Evolver, their appearance wouldn't change for the first three hundred years of their life. Moreover, retaining youthful looks was an easy feat for some female Evolvers who desired it.

For instance, Bai Ye of the Salvation Army.

Yet, youthful looks couldn't hide the weakening aura and the old Elder Chen.

The young man who emerged exuded the same vitality and imposing aura as Lin Feng.

Unlike Lord Bishop, whose aura was frail and elderly, or Father Su An, whose presence was robust and profound, clearly an old Tier Two powerhouse.

Thus, when Lin Feng met his gaze, they could see the confidence and pride in each other's eyes.

This was the most promising young man in the entire Oasis and the heir to the Li Family of Nongzhuang Village, Li Mingquan.

As the inviter, Li Mingquan stepped forward and spoke with a hint of emotion:

"Leader Lin, it's been a while."

Looking at the man before him, Lin Feng realized that he might be his strongest opponent in this rebellion.

He extended his hand calmly:

"One of the only two Tier Two Evolvers in the Li Family. I, too, have long heard of Village Chief Li's name."

Li Mingquan extended his hand for a handshake.

As they clenched each other's right hand, with just a bit of force, both could gauge the other's specific Evolution Level.

Lin Feng squinted slightly. Li Mingquan's strength was also Early Tier Two, Level 22, which surprised him a bit.

After all, for the Li Family, which managed Nongzhuang Village and virtually controlled the Oasis's industries, it should have been easy to nurture and sustain a Tier Two Evolver just through the profits from Rock-Horned Horse farming, which provides Enhanced Meat and Evolutionary Meat, claiming half of Oasis Town's market share.

Even if he hadn't reached Mid-Tier Two, he should have hit the upper limit of Early Tier Two, Level 23, not stuck at Level 22 after a century.

To advance just one level would take four Level 20 Evolution Agents, amounting to over 800,000 points.

Other forces in Oasis Town might not be able to gather this amount in a short period due to the near-million cash flow involved.

But for the Li Family, it should be no issue.

In such a crucial matter, to have an essential family pillar still stuck at Level 22...

Involving Evolution Agents, Lin Feng suddenly realized that the Li Family was indeed prepared, but their preparations were accidentally intercepted by the Salvation Army.

Ultimately, it was to Lin Feng's benefit!

The initial Level 20 Rock-Horned Horse Evolution Agent was, in fact, handed to Lin Feng by Bai Ye, as compensation for an exploration mission deep within the ruins.

If the Pilgrimage Convoy attack hadn't happened, the Evolution Agents it was guarding would have, according to the original plan, been delivered to the Li Family. Evidently, the Patriarch Li Hao no longer needed Early-stage Evolution Agents, so it was either Li Mingquan or another late-stage Evolver getting arranged to advance to Tier Two.

Nonetheless, Lin Feng's rapid advancement owes greatly to the Li Family's mutiny and capture.

Indeed, chaos is the best ladder to climb!

Without the escalation of conflicts, merely relying on silent growth would likely take over a decade to become a Tier Two powerhouse.

Compared to Lin Feng's surprise, Li Mingquan, who sensed the same result from the handshake, was deeply shocked.

After all, two days ago, the man before him had barely managed to advance to a Tier Two Evolver—a fact verified by multiple sources.

Yet, within these two short days, he had rapidly advanced, leveling up daily to become a Level 22 Evolver, absorbing five Level 20 Evolution Agents!

Li Mingquan was very aware this couldn't have come from the Church. With the corresponding Tier Two Holy Spring Water, they could sustain a host of Tier Two Evolvers, making them uninterested in other Source Materials and unlikely to stockpile large amounts.

As for the Guild, that was even more impossible!

Therefore, this young powerhouse's Evolutionary Source Material could only be his own.

On the Pilgrimage Convoy, the Li Family had ordered only one Level 20 Rock-Horned Horse Source Material, which was far from enough for Lin Feng's Evolutionary consumption.

After pondering, there was only one possibility left...
