Must Kill Them

"Lin Langtian!"

At the sight of the handsome, elegant young man, everyone present cried out in surprise.

As one of the most highly ranked geniuses among the younger generation of the Great Yan Dynasty, Lin Langtian's name carried considerable weight even in the Imperial Capital.

Some young women even had stars in their eyes when they saw Lin Langtian.

In the group clad in yellow, Huang Yin, the Middle-aged Man at the head of the group, narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of gravity appearing on his face.

Although he had the Huangpu Clan behind him, he could not help but feel immense pressure when facing Lin Langtian, the Lin Clan's foremost genius.

But things had already come to this. Thinking of Huangpu Ying's promise to help him return to the inner clan, Huang Yin had no time to consider so much. So what if Lin Langtian was famous? He was still a junior!

"So it is Young Master Lin Langtian, the Lin Clan's foremost genius. May I ask why Young Master Langtian injured members of my Mysterious Tiger Gang?" Huang Yin took the initiative and questioned him first.

However, Lin Langtian gave no response at all. He did not even spare Huang Yin and the others a glance.

Though Lin Langtian had already changed souls, perhaps influenced by some remnants of the original owner, he was not quite arrogant enough to look down on everyone, but he still carried a pride within his heart.

That pride caused him to unconsciously reveal a trace of arrogance whenever he faced insignificant people.

Seeing that Lin Langtian had no intention of acknowledging him, Huang Yin froze. As embarrassment surfaced on his face, a hint of anger gradually rose in his eyes.

As the Yellow Gang Leader of the Mysterious Tiger Gang, Huang Yin was a man of standing even in the Imperial Capital. Though Lin Langtian's status was extraordinary, being treated with such contempt still filled him with rage.

"Are you all alright?" Ignoring the Mysterious Tiger Gang, Lin Langtian looked toward Lin Chen and the others.

"Brother Langtian, you finally came! These people actually dared to attack members of our Lin Clan. They are truly lawless!" Upon seeing Lin Langtian, Lin Chen and the others seemed to find their backbone and spoke indignantly.

Lin Ya in particular, as she complained to Lin Langtian and recounted the grievances she had suffered, wore a pitiful expression as though she were about to weep, making her delicate, fair face especially heart-wrenching.

"Oh, so these really are members of the Lin Clan. It seems this gang leader made a mistake. My sincerest apologies, Young Master Langtian. I thought these young people were using the Lin Clan's name to swindle food and drink.

In order to protect the Lin Clan's honor, I intended to capture them and send them to your residence for identification.

I never expected to disturb Young Master Langtian.

This was my fault. I failed to recognize Mount Tai. Another day, I will certainly come to offer an apology in person."

Having made the Lin Clan lose face before so many people, Huang Yin had achieved his goal. With a smile, he cupped his hands and prepared to leave.

At this, Lin Langtian's expression darkened slightly. Whether it was this man's shamelessness or his ability to turn black into white, both were truly unmatched.

"Hmph, did I say you could leave?" Lin Langtian snorted coldly.

As his words fell, a burst of clattering footsteps suddenly rang out across the square. Immediately afterward, a troop surged like a flood toward the Mysterious Tiger Gang's position, their momentum astonishing.

Only when the group drew near did the crowd see that every one of them bore two embroidered greenwood emblems on their chests.

The people of the Great Yan Dynasty were no strangers to this pattern, for they knew what this clan emblem represented.

It represented none other than the Lin Clan, one of the Four Great Clans of the Great Yan Dynasty!

Seeing his group surrounded, Huang Yin was momentarily stunned. But when he saw who had arrived, a trace of disdain surfaced on his face.

The reason he had agreed to Huangpu Ying's scheme to make things difficult for several younger members of the Lin Clan was not only because the latter's offer was highly tempting, but also because he knew the Lin Clan's situation and influence in the Great Yan Dynasty extremely well.

For certain reasons, although this Lin Clan force was highly capable and even no weaker than his Mysterious Tiger Gang, it had one fatal weakness: it lacked a true powerhouse to oversee it.

Thus, when Huang Yin saw that the leader of this group was Lin Tao, the Lin Mansion steward, rather than another Lin Clan powerhouse, he relaxed inwardly.

He was no stranger to Lin Tao. He was merely in the Form Creation Realm.

And Huang Yin was a mighty expert at Qi Creation Stage Great Perfection. Even if the Lin Clan had Lin Langtian, another Form Creation Realm expert, they likely lacked the strength to do anything to his Mysterious Tiger Gang.

Thinking this, Huang Yin gave a hypocritical smile. "Hehe, a misunderstanding, it is all a misunderstanding.

Speaking of which, this gang leader did act improperly and accidentally injured several outstanding young members of the Lin Clan.

But it is better to resolve enmity than to deepen it. This gang leader is also a man of standing in the Imperial Capital, so naturally I will not evade responsibility.

How about this? I am willing to offer fifty thousand Pure Yuan Pills as compensation for the medical expenses of these Lin Clan talents. What do you say?"

As he spoke, Huang Yin took a Universe Bag from his robes, instructed a subordinate beside him, and had him deliver it to Lin Chen and the others.

Fifty thousand Pure Yuan Pills was enough to buy even a mid-grade Spirit Treasure. To those unaware of the truth, it would truly seem as though Huang Yin were sincerely apologizing.

But neither Lin Chen nor Lin Ya accepted it. Instead, they fixed their eyes on Lin Langtian.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly. If it had been the original owner of this body, he might truly have accepted it for the sake of the bigger picture, but Lin Langtian was unwilling.

If this matter spread, not only would the Lin Clan lose face, but even Lin Langtian himself would be mocked for weakness.

"Just fifty thousand Pure Yuan Pills, and you think you can buy the honor of my Lin Clan? Does Yellow Gang Leader think this is a vegetable market?" Lin Langtian said with utter calmness.

Yet anyone observant enough could see that beneath that calm expression lay a raging storm.

"Oh, does Young Master Langtian mean the price is insufficient and needs to be raised?" Huang Yin pretended not to understand.

Lin Langtian gave a cold smile and could not be bothered to beat around the bush with him. In a deep voice, he said, "According to the Lin Clan's rules, what is the punishment for insulting the Lin Clan?"

As his words fell, Lin Ke'er, who had arrived alongside Lin Tao, understood Lin Langtian's intentions. Fury appeared in her clear blue eyes as she cried out.

"Death!"

The moment those words rang out, the atmosphere in the square instantly stiffened. At the same time, a faint killing intent shot into the skies!

Hearing this, Huang Yin's expression changed slightly. He then forced an awkward smile. "Young Master Langtian, that is too severe. This matter..."

But before he could finish, Lin Langtian cut him off directly.

Lin Langtian took a step forward, and an incomparably powerful aura erupted from his body.

"Say no more. As the Lin Clan's Law Enforcement Elder, my duty of enforcement applies not only within the clan, but outside it as well!"

"Today, this Elder will surely destroy the Mysterious Tiger Gang!!"
