What Is God Extermination Hall Supposed to Be?

"My lord, the afternoon before yesterday, I was buying groceries on the street as usual when a man saw me..." At the mention of that man, Lin Yi'an gritted her teeth, wishing she could have him sliced to pieces alive!

"He was reeking drunk. He came up and grabbed me, saying he wanted to marry me. Of course I refused. I shook him off and left, thinking everything would be fine once I got home. But he followed me all the way there... My father argued with him, and he killed my father outright. Then my mother was also... If so many people hadn't gathered around, I'm afraid I would have..." Lin Yi'an broke down in tears, crying her heart out. Who could accept watching their parents die before their very eyes?

Lin Yu drew Lin Yi'an into his arms. It was not a case of taking advantage of her vulnerability; seeing the girl who shared his surname crying in such utter despair, he could not bear it either.

Lin Yi'an wrapped her arms around Lin Yu as well. She no longer had any family in this world. Held by someone like this, she felt an incomparable warmth, and she could not help embracing the person who had brought her that warmth. This was the moment she had felt safest in days.

"Don't worry. I'll seek justice for your parents!" Lin Yu patted Lin Yi'an's back and comforted her.

Then, he put her to sleep. Lin Yi'an had not closed her eyes for days, constantly drowning in pain. If she did not rest soon, she might collapse at any moment!

Lin Yu carried Lin Yi'an in his arms and flashed into Xiao Xun'er's room.

Xiao Xun'er happened to be there. She was delighted to see Lin Yu arrive, but when she saw his gloomy expression and the woman in his arms, she immediately knew something bad had happened.

Having lived with Lin Yu for eight years, she naturally knew he was not the kind of person to take advantage of someone's vulnerability. She could tell from the fact that they had slept together all that time.

Then it had to be this woman's experience that had angered Lin Yu, or perhaps there was something special about her. Of course, Lin Yu was not some indiscriminate do-gooder who stood up for everyone he met.

"Xun'er, help me take care of her first!" Upon seeing Xiao Xun'er, Lin Yu's tone softened, losing its previous gloominess.

"Alright, Brother Lin Yu." Xiao Xun'er took Lin Yi'an from him and laid her on the bed. Sensibly, she did not ask any questions. Instead, she took a warm towel and wiped Lin Yi'an's cheeks.

After glancing at Lin Yi'an, Lin Yu flashed back to her house.

The unnamed man was still waiting there. He did not dare leave rashly, knowing Lin Yu would return—and sure enough, he had.

Lin Yu glanced at the man. "Let's go. Take me to that person from Jia Nan Academy!"

"Yes!"

The unnamed man led Lin Yu to the Xiao Family, heading straight for where the Jia Nan Academy group was staying.

Just like in the original story, Xiao Yu had brought Jia Nan Academy's people into the Xiao Family residence.

Xiao Yu had just walked out of the courtyard when she saw Lin Yu and looked somewhat surprised. "Oh? Our Hall Master Jun Yi is here? Hmph, you came back and didn't even think to visit your cousin. All you think about is Xun'er."

Lin Yu was in no mood to joke with Xiao Yu. With a grim expression, he said flatly, "Cousin Xiao Yu, I'll come see you another day. I have business here!"

With that, he headed into the courtyard with the man.

"Hey, wait for me! This time, the person in charge from Jia Nan Academy is my instructor. As her prized student, I can help you if you need something from her!" Xiao Yu caught up to Lin Yu and said somewhat smugly.

Lin Yu stopped and said evenly, "You'd better stay out of this. This time, I represent God Extermination Hall, not myself!"

"Everyone, come out!" Lin Yu roared.

Standing beside him, Xiao Yu was startled by Lin Yu's shout. She was still rather dazed and had yet to realize that Lin Yu had come looking for trouble.

Hearing Lin Yu's voice, the people from Jia Nan Academy emerged from their rooms one after another. Those cultivating also stopped and made their way over.

God Extermination Hall had been established just the day before Jia Nan Academy arrived, so they had never met Lin Yu. They only knew that Wutan City had gained a God Extermination Hall, which seemed quite extraordinary.

The crowd began discussing Lin Yu. More than that, after some of the women got a clear look at his face, they actually became infatuated.

One woman ran to Xiao Yu's side and whispered, "Yu'er, is this your man?" She teased Xiao Yu while sizing Lin Yu up.

Hearing her words, Xiao Yu blushed and secretly glanced at Lin Yu. "No! Get lost, you lewd woman! He's my cousin, Lin Yu!"

The woman chuckled and affectionately linked arms with Xiao Yu. "Since he isn't, why don't you introduce him to me?"

Xiao Yu gave her a playful slap. "Do you think he'd be interested in you? Xue Ni, you think too highly of yourself!"

Xue Ni curled her lips. "Hmph. If you don't want to give him to me, then just say so. Did you have to insult me like that?"

Lin Yu naturally heard their conversation, but he ignored them, as though waiting for someone to appear.

"What are they here for, anyway?" Xue Ni looked curiously at Lin Yu and asked Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu spread her hands. "I don't know either. He said they came on behalf of God Extermination Hall."

"God Extermination Hall?! That sect everyone says is so formidable? Your cousin is from God Extermination Hall?" Xue Ni cried out. After arriving in Wutan City, she had heard practically everyone discussing God Extermination Hall. Its influence was clearly enormous, but Xue Ni had still dismissed it, since she had only just heard of such a sect.

"Yeah. He's a Dou Zun!"

"A Dou Zun? How is that possible? I don't believe it!" Xue Ni dismissed it disdainfully. He was about the same age as her—how could he possibly be a Dou Zun?

Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at her. "Believe it or not!"

"..."

At that moment, a woman dressed in green stepped into the courtyard. The crowd immediately made way for her. She had a full, graceful figure, and a gentle smile on her beautiful face carried the mature charm polished by the years.

"Instructor Ruo Lin!"

"Instructor Ruo Lin..."

The people around them greeted the woman one after another.

"May I ask why you have come here, sir?" Instructor Ruo Lin stared at Lin Yu as she asked.

"To arrest someone!" Lin Yu's tone remained calm, without the slightest reservation.

Xiao Yu looked at Lin Yu in surprise. He had said he represented God Extermination Hall, and she knew God Extermination Hall's rules. Could someone here have broken the law?

But the others did not know God Extermination Hall's rules. They looked at one another, completely unclear about what was happening.

At that moment, the man following Lin Yu said, "Someone among you has committed intentional murder. God Extermination Hall is here to arrest him according to the law!"

Everyone looked at each other. Wasn't killing people perfectly normal on the Dou Qi Continent? God Extermination Hall was overstepping its bounds, wasn't it?

"What the hell is God Extermination Hall? We're from Jia Nan Academy. Even if this needs handling, Jia Nan Academy will deal with it ourselves. Do you think God Extermination Hall can interfere with Jia Nan Academy?" A man stepped out of the crowd and mocked them, his contempt for God Extermination Hall undisguised.

"Exactly, exactly..."

"God Extermination Hall is really overstepping its bounds..."

"..."

As soon as the man spoke, the surrounding crowd began echoing him, utterly dismissive of God Extermination Hall.

The unnamed man looked at the speaker and whispered into Lin Yu's ear, "Hall Master, he's the one we found."

Is anyone alive? If you are, type 1, please.

I always feel so empty and lonely...
