Sure Kill

"Lin Langtian!"

At the sight of that Wind God Handsome youth, everyone present cried out in surprise.

As a genius ranked near the top among the Great Yan Dynasty's Young Generation, Lin Langtian's name carried considerable prestige even in the Imperial Capital.

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

Within the yellow-clad group, Huang Yin, the middle-aged man at the front, narrowed his eyes slightly, a grave expression appearing on his face.

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

However, things had already come to this. Remembering Huangpu Ying's promise to help him return to the Inner Clan, Huang Yin could not afford to think too much. So what if Lin Langtian had a great reputation? He was still merely a member of the younger generation!

"So it is Young Master Lin Langtian, the Lin Clan's foremost genius. May I ask why Young Master Langtian injured members of my Mystic Tiger Gang?" Huang Yin asked, taking the initiative.

Yet Lin Langtian gave no response whatsoever. He did not even spare Huang Yin and the others a glance.

Although Lin Langtian had already changed souls, perhaps influenced somewhat by the Original Body, he was not arrogant enough to look down on everyone—but he still possessed a pride deep within.

That pride caused him to unconsciously reveal a trace of haughtiness whenever he faced insignificant characters.

Seeing that Lin Langtian had no intention of acknowledging him, Huang Yin froze. As an awkward look surfaced on his face, a trace of anger gradually welled up in his eyes.

As the leader of the Mystic Tiger Gang, Huang Yin was a figure of some standing even in the Imperial Capital. Though Lin Langtian's identity was extraordinary, being disregarded so completely still infuriated him.

"Are you all alright?" Ignoring the Mystic 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 utterly lawless!" Upon seeing Lin Langtian, Lin Chen and the others seemed to have found 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, tearful expression on her fair oval face that stirred pity in anyone who saw it.

"Oh, so these truly are members of the Lin Clan. It seems this gang leader was mistaken. 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 bring them to your residence for identification. I never expected to disturb Young Master Langtian.

"This was my fault. I failed to recognize a great man before me. I will certainly visit your door another day to apologize."

Having made the Lin Clan lose face before so many people, Huang Yin had achieved his goal. He smiled and clasped his hands, preparing to take his leave.

Lin Langtian's expression darkened slightly. This man's shamelessness and talent for turning black into white were truly unmatched.

"Hmph. Did I say you could leave?" Lin Langtian snorted.

As his words fell, a burst of clattering footsteps suddenly rang across the plaza. A troop surged forward like a raging torrent, rumbling toward the Mystic Tiger Gang with astonishing momentum.

Only when they drew closer did the crowd notice 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 was the symbol of one of the Great Yan Dynasty's Four Great Clans—the Lin Clan!

Seeing his group surrounded, Huang Yin was briefly stunned. But when he saw who had arrived, a hint of disdain appeared on his face.

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

For certain reasons, while this Lin Clan force was extremely elite and not even inferior to his Mystic Tiger Gang, it had one fatal flaw: there was no expert overseeing it.

Thus, when Huang Yin saw that the leader of this force was Lin Tao, the steward of Lin Mansion, rather than some other Lin Clan expert, he secretly relaxed.

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

Huang Yin himself was a mighty expert at the peak of the Qi Shaping Realm. Even with the Lin Clan and Lin Langtian, another Shaping Realm expert, added to the mix, they likely did not possess the strength to do anything to his Mystic Tiger Gang.

With that thought, Huang Yin put on a false smile. "Hehe, a misunderstanding. It was all a misunderstanding.

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

"Still, it is better to settle enmity than forge it. This gang leader is also a man of standing in the Imperial Capital, so naturally I will not shirk responsibility.

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

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

Fifty thousand Pure Yuan Pills in compensation—even a mid-grade spirit treasure could be purchased for that amount. To those unaware of the truth, Huang Yin might truly have seemed sincere in his apology.

Yet 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 Body, he might truly have accepted it for the sake of the overall situation. But Lin Langtian was unwilling.

If this matter spread, not only would the Lin Clan lose face, but even he, Lin Langtian, would be ridiculed for being weak.

"Just fifty thousand Pure Yuan Pills, and you wish to buy the honor of my Lin Clan? Does Gang Leader Huang think this is a vegetable market where one buys cabbages?" Lin Langtian said with utter calm.

But anyone observant enough would have noticed that beneath that calm face lay stormy waves.

"Oh, Young Master Langtian means the price is insufficient, so I need to add more?" Huang Yin pretended to understand.

Lin Langtian gave a cold smile. Too lazy to beat around the bush with him, he said in a deep voice, "According to the Lin Clan's rules, what punishment is due for those who insult the Lin Clan?"

As his words fell, Lin Ke'er, who had arrived with Lin Tao, understood Lin Langtian's intentions. Anger flashed through her azure Beautiful Eyes as she shouted delicately.

"Death!"

The moment those words rang out, the atmosphere across the plaza instantly stiffened. At the same time, a faint killing aura shot straight into the heavens!

Hearing this, Huang Yin's expression changed slightly. He then gave an awkward smile. "Young Master Langtian, that is too serious. 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 within his body.

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

"Today, this elder will surely destroy the Mystic Tiger Gang!!"
