"The fish are in the net. Prepare to make a move. We won't need to bring too many people this time; Father and a few of the Lin Family elders will be enough."
After giving it some thought, Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.
The Lin Family's four Heavenly Origin Realm experts were enough to wipe out all the minor fry. As for the enemy's Heavenly Origin Realm experts, Father alone would be sufficient.
The difference in strength between major realms...
A Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm expert fighting a Heavenly Origin Realm expert was simply crushing them from an entirely higher level!
There was no need to bring the Lin Family's Earth Origin Realm or even Body Tempering Realm members. Taking them along would only result in needless losses.
Xiao Yan and Lin Dong would not even participate in this battle. Instead, they would stay behind at the Lin Family.
One was a Dou Zhe, while the other was in the Earth Origin Realm. Why risk their lives?
One had to know that a wise man did not stand beneath a crumbling wall!
"Hahahaha! Good, we'll do as Yan'er says! Brother Lin, Uncle Lin, let's set off at once!"
Xiao Zhan rose to his feet, fiery battle intent emerging in his eyes.
Why do you think he was called Xiao Zhan? In his younger days, his competitive and warlike nature had been no joke! Come to think of it, as someone who cultivated Dou Qi, he had never fought against someone from another cultivation system.
The Xiao Family's Pantry Elder had considerable attainments in Martial Arts Yuan Power, but as a junior, Xiao Zhan could hardly challenge an elder of such advanced age.
Today, he could finally use the Lei and Xie families to satisfy his urge for battle!
"Mm!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhentian and the others nodded heavily. Then fervor surged into their eyes. After enduring in silence for so many years, they would finally no longer remain still.
This trip would surely destroy the Lei and Xie families!
Within the Lei Family Courtyard stood a spacious hall as vast as a plaza. At this moment, the hall was exceptionally quiet, and there were barely ten people seated within its enormous interior.
Though there were few of them, every person present was a ruthless figure capable of shaking Qingyang Town with a mere stomp of their foot. Even the weakest among them had reached the Early Heavenly Origin Realm!
"Master Gu, is the information obtained by the Blood Robe Sect truly reliable? Has that brat Lin Xiao recovered his strength?"
Seated in the Second Seat was an elderly man dressed in a light gray silk robe. His eyes were deeply sunken, and his expression was cold and severe.
This man was Lei Bao, the Lei Family Clan Leader and Lin Zhentian's longtime archrival. He possessed Late Heavenly Origin Realm strength. Yet rather surprisingly, this Lei Family Clan Leader had yielded the most honored Chief Seat.
Seated in the Chief Seat was a man dressed in grayish-yellow clothes. His appearance was ordinary and unremarkable.
As Lei Bao spoke, the Heavenly Origin Realm experts from the Lei Family, Xie Family, and Black Dragon Stockade all turned their gazes toward the man.
"Hmph! The information came from the Blood Wolf Gang's lord. How could it be wrong? He's merely at the Peak Heavenly Origin Realm, nothing worth mentioning!"
"I have come under orders to help you destroy the Lin Family and investigate the source of those Healing Pills. Such unusual pills must be controlled by the Blood Wolf Gang!"
Under the gazes of the crowd, Master Gu of the Blood Robe Sect smiled faintly. Then he raised his head, and his eyes suddenly became extraordinarily bright. A number of those who met his gaze immediately felt a sharp pain in their minds.
"Old Man Lei, come out and die!"
Just as Lei Bao was about to ask another question, a vigorous shout suddenly rang out throughout the entire Lei Family Courtyard like thunder from level ground, infused with mighty Origin Energy.
"Lin Zhentian? Why has he come knocking at our door? Did you provoke him?"
"No!"
Lei Bao and Xie Qian exchanged glances, and both saw bewilderment in the other's eyes.
Their two families had not made any moves against the Lin Family lately. Had that old guy taken the wrong medicine?
"A mere Late Heavenly Origin Realm expert dares come to our doorstep seeking death?"
"Fine. Kill him first, then make our move against the Lin Family!"
Master Gu's expression was indifferent, his icy voice seeming to lower the temperature of the entire hall.
"Brother Xie, Brother Yan, Brother Wu, how about we join forces?"
Lei Bao nodded at Xie Qian. The latter promptly rose as well, and the two turned to look at the Black Dragon Stockade's two chieftains.
Within several hundred miles of Qingyang Town, there were quite a few bandit factions. Black Dragon Stockade was one of the more well-known among them. These bandits were ruthless and merciless; one of their two chieftains was at the Mid Heavenly Origin Realm, while the other was at the Early Heavenly Origin Realm.
Both Lei Bao and Lin Zhentian were in the Late Heavenly Origin Realm and could fight to a draw, while Xie Qian was somewhat inferior.
However, even with two against one, quickly killing Lin Zhentian would be difficult. That was why they wanted the Black Dragon Stockade's two chieftains to join forces with them.
"Hahahaha! That old fellow Lin Zhentian has quite a reputation. Being able to surround and kill him would indeed be a fine thing!"
"However, after it is done, I want twenty percent of the Lin Family's assets!"
Two burly men stepped forward side by side.
The one on the left was broad and muscular, with the build of a tiger and the waist of a bear. His face bore a seemingly honest smile, but only those familiar with him knew how savage and ruthless his methods were. The name Wind Tearer Wu Sha was not earned for nothing.
The other was comparatively lean and wiry. His otherwise unremarkable face was covered in crisscrossing blade scars. He was the Black Dragon Stockade's chief leader, Yan Kuo.
When Wu Sha and Yan Kuo joined forces, they could contend with a Late Heavenly Origin Realm expert for a short time.
Within a Hundred Mile Radius of Qingyang Town, their notorious names could stop children from crying at night!
"No problem!"
Lei Bao smiled and agreed without hesitation.
As for whether he would divide up the Lin Family's assets afterward, that would depend on whether these two could survive until after the Lin Family was destroyed!
Blades and swords had no eyes in battle. The Lin Family also had several Late Heavenly Origin Realm experts. Wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable for the Black Dragon Stockade's two leaders to die during the extermination of the Lin Family?
"Go."
Master Gu waved his hand, sending the Four strong individuals into action.
In his eyes, such a lineup was more than enough to surround and kill a single Lin Zhentian.
With the four of them joining forces, it was equivalent to having the combat strength of three Late Heavenly Origin Realm experts. Lin Zhentian was old and frail; he was undoubtedly doomed!
"Yes!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—
They nodded, and powerful Origin Energy fluctuations Gushed Out. Lei Bao and the other Four strong individuals flashed toward the outside of the hall, their faces savage and filled with killing intent.
"After the Lin Family is destroyed, how much of a share should my Blood Robe Sect receive? The Blood Wolf Gang will eat the meat, but we should at least get some soup, right? Those Healing Pills..."
Master Gu lifted his teacup, greed flashing in his eyes.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, the Four strong individuals who had just rushed out of the hall seemed to collide with an invisible wall of air. Their bodies came to an abrupt halt before they were sent flying back the Next Instant, slamming heavily into the ground.
"What?!"
His hand jolted violently, but he had no time to care about the scalding tea. Master Gu abruptly raised his head, and the Next Instant, his Pupils contracted sharply.
Within his perception, the bones of Lei Bao and the other three had all shattered, their internal organs ruptured. They had completely lost all signs of life!
Tap, tap, tap...
Crisp footsteps Sounded. A figure dressed in a luxurious long robe blocked the morning sunlight streaming in through the doorway. His strides were as imposing as a dragon's gait and tiger's steps, radiating authority and dominance. At the same time, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire hall.
Boom!
The powerful pressure and icy killing intent made all the experts in the hall feel as though they had fallen into an ice cellar, their Entire Body turning cold.
"Is this the Heavenly Origin Realm? Too weak."
A calm voice sounded alongside the pressure.
