Inside the Su Family estate.
Wei Yi and Zhuo Chengxuan stood respectfully inside the hall.
"Lord..."
"You saw it too, it's not that we didn't want to put in the effort."
"It's truly that this group of people from the Lin Family are simply too much of a prodigy."
"How long has it even been since they entered the Sixth-grade Star Domain, yet all of them have broken through to the Martial Immortal Realm."
"There are even fellows at the Martial God Realm, we are truly powerless."
Zhuo Chengxuan's expression was unsightly as he spoke with submissive trepidation.
The two of them had come to the Su Family to make complaints.
The dirty work was arranged by you, and now that trouble had happened, the Su Family definitely still had to pick up the pieces.
Compared to the Zhuo Family.
The Wei Family suffered even more tragic losses this time.
Not only were the Young Master's meridians completely shattered making him a cripple, but he was also beaten half-paralyzed and left with hidden injuries.
Without three to five years of effort, he probably wouldn't recover at all!
Fresh blood still hung from the corner of his mouth at this moment, wearing an expression filled with bitter hatred.
"That Lin You cannot be allowed to live!"
"At such a young age he is already at the Martial Immortal Realm, and he can even cross realms to slaughter opponents."
"With such talent, I'm afraid it won't be long before he overturns the entire Mengbo Star Domain."
Wei Yi gnashed his teeth, his entire body's aura plunging to the absolute lowest point.
His words carried a bit of exaggeration.
Yet they also solidly pointed out the terrifying nature of Lin You.
What was the concept of an eighteen-year-old Martial Immortal Realm?
They had lived for half a lifetime and had never seen such a prodigy.
The crowd of Su Family elders remained silent, one after another casting their gazes toward Su Ming in the main seat.
Up and down the Su Family.
Everything was decided by him alone.
Su Ming's eyes drooped, not knowing what he was thinking about.
He gently shook the teacup in his hand, the tea water rippling...
"Oh?"
"According to you two, what should be done?"
Su Ming spoke softly, looking toward the two people below him.
A fierce glint flashed in Wei Yi's eyes as he said coldly, "Kill!"
"Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!"
"Taking advantage of the Lin Family's unstable footing, we will make a move together."
"Just two Martial God Realm individuals alone cannot stir up any great waves!"
Su Ming nodded, then looked toward Zhuo Chengxuan.
"And you?"
Zhuo Chengxuan coughed once, casting a trace-free glance at Wei Yi beside him.
Compared to the Wei Family.
Although his own family likewise suffered heavy losses.
Even resulting in the Young Master being slain.
Yet if one really discussed it, the Wei Family's Young Master Wei Yi was practically the number one person within his own clan.
His position was unshakable.
However, the Zhuo Family's Young Master...
Instead had several substitutes.
If he died then he died, at worst they would just prop up a new one again.
That was still better than fighting to the death with the Lin Family.
The Zhuo Family simply didn't have such deep financial backing...
Furthermore, now that the Wei Family had suffered a heavy blow, it was precisely the prime opportunity for his Zhuo Family to make a comeback.
Thinking of this,
Zhuo Chengxuan cupped his fists and said, "I feel that..."
"Inappropriate."
Wei Yi turned around in disbelief, grabbing Zhuo Chengxuan by the collar in one clutch.
"Spit out your dog-shit!"
"What kind of things are you saying, people from your Zhuo Family were killed too."
"Could it be that we're just going to let it go like this?"
Zhuo Chengxuan lightly raised his hand, displaying formidable pressure that on the spot sent the heavily injured Wei Yi flying.
He unhurriedly stated, "My Zhuo Family can afford both to win and to lose; we went to seek trouble ourselves, so we have nothing to say about being slain."
"Moreover, the Lin Family actually possesses the existence of two Martial God Realm figures."
"If we truly fight for our lives, I'm afraid we could beat a family until they are half-dead and half-alive."
"Are you going?"
"In any case, my Zhuo Family will not take the lead!"
As soon as these words came out,
the crowd was greatly astonished, never expecting that Zhuo Chengxuan would give up on making a move against the Lin Family.
But very quickly,
Wei Yi reacted, his complexion turning pale and ashen as if he thought of something.
"You think that my Wei Family has no successor left!?"
"You want to use this to make a comeback!"
Zhuo Chengxuan ignored him, stubbornly turning his head away, "Fellow Daoist, I never said any such thing."
"Besides..."
"Whether we fight or not, is it really something you or I have the final say on?"
"It still has to be decided by the Su Family Head."
In an instant,
innumerable pieces of information flashed through Wei Yi's mind.
Wei Feng, the Young Master whom the Wei Family had exhausted all their strength to cultivate, had just fallen away like that...
Three thousand years?
No...
At most three hundred years!
When they grew old, the next generation would be suppressed to death by the Zhuo Family!
Bastard...
Wei Yi clenched his fists tightly; such behavior was no different from stabbing him in the back! At the request of the vast readership, the VIP member ad-free feature is now launched

Right at this moment,
Su Ming, who had never expressed his stance all along, finally spoke.
With a light tap of his fingertip, he settled the matter with a single word.
"This matter... wait and speak further."
A single sentence.
On the spot left Wei Yi stunned in place, and even the crowd of Su Family members could not fathom the meaning.
Wait for what!
Yet they saw Su Ming's calm gaze sweep across Wei Yi: "Unconvinced?"
"You can go seek out trouble with the Lin Family yourself."
"I won't stop you."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yi's expression immediately underwent a series of shifts.
Let his Wei Family and the Lin Family fight to the death.
How could that be possible!
If it truly came to that, the Wei Family wouldn't be able to survive either!
It wouldn't take long before they would be completely devoured!
"Scram," Su Ming said softly.
The words fell.
Even if Wei Yi harbored any further unwillingness in his heart, he dared not reveal even a fraction of it.
The backing of the Su Family...
Was a Fifth-grade Family after all, far from something he could afford to offend!
After the two of them left,
only then did the crowd of Su Family elders step forward to inquire.
"Family Head, this Lin Family... why are we ignoring them?"
"After all, the Wei Family and the Zhuo Family were handling affairs for us, so this inevitably chills people's hearts."
"That's right, Family Head, joining the strength of our three families, erasing a single Lin Family is still well within our grasp!"
Su Ming raised a hand to press downward on the void, signaling everyone to remain calm and not be impetuous.
Once things became completely quiet,
he calmly stated, "I suspect that the Lin Family... is not as simple as they appear."
"Just think about it, ants crawling up from a Ninth-grade Star Domain."
"How could they possibly produce Martial God Realm cultivators in such a short period of time!"
"The only explanation... is that the Lin Family has someone supporting them from behind."
—Boom.
The words fell.
Everyone fell into deep contemplation.
The Su Family's First Elder said solemnly, "Could it be... that branch of the Lin Family?"
Su Ming's gaze swept across them, "Uncertain... but one doesn't fear ten thousand, one fears the what-ifs."
"Offending an Everlasting Family."
"Even if my Su Family lived it out, we'd still reach our end."
"Instead of taking risks, it's better to wait."
"I have already notified the Myriad Star Domain Inspector; the Lin Family started a war against the Five Great Families in the Seventh-grade Star Domain."
"Fighting the other party until nearly their entire clan was exterminated."
"The Myriad Star Domain Inspector will definitely manage such a matter; by then, we will just need to let him go and hold the Lin Family accountable."
"Whether or not they have backing will become crystal clear."
The crowd fell into deep thought, nodding repeatedly.
In the gazes looking toward Su Ming, they were filled with admiration.
As expected of the Su Family Head.
His stratagems shook the heavens!
The Myriad Star Domain Inspector represented the Everlasting Family, and once an ordinary noble family was targeted, there was simply no room for maneuver.
By then,
if the Lin Family truly had backing, they would have to be brought out to face the real deal.
If they had none...
Settling accounts then would still not be too late!
"Family Head is wise!" ...
Inside the Myriad Star Domains.
A young maiden traversed the void, gripping a glowing jade slip in her hand.
She wore a fire-red long dress, her skin as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade, and her exquisite visage resembled an immortal descending to the mortal dust, with a treasured sword hanging at her waist.
She was currently facing the glowing jade slip, probing back and forth.
The maiden akimboed, pinching her fists together in huffs of anger:
"Stinky Lin You!"
"Bad Lin You!"
"When I find you, see how I clean you up!"
"You even dare to look down on this young lady, I'll definitely crack your head wide open!"
Spiritual Qi was slowly injected into the jade slip.
That jade slip emitted a fierce radiance, floating within the void to guide the way for her.
Very quickly,
Zhao Ling'er looked toward a certain location.
"Hmph!"
"Found her!"
She tapped her toes lightly, once more driving her cultivation to traverse the void and leave.
Until she departed completely.
Two figures crawled out from the void.
One of them had a sneaky, rat-like face, as cunning as a jackal.
"Boss, it's confirmed."
"Only True Fire Refining Spirit Realm cultivation!"
"We can make a move!"
The man standing beside him crossed his arms, looking toward the direction Zhao Ling'er had left with lewd eyes in his gaze.
"Tsk, tsk..."
"Such a fine piece."
"Let me go test..."
