The Decision to Silence Him
"Hun Clan? Ling Clan?"
When Xiao Lin heard these two words from Ling Miao's mouth, he was immediately horrified.
It's important to know that the Ling Clan, a background figure comparable to him in the Original Work, is Xiao Lin has always been unwilling to confront.
In Xiao Lin's view, the Ling Clan was a taboo among taboos!
At least the Stone Clan made an appearance; the Ling Clan was truly wiped out the moment they appeared...
Moreover, the one eyeing the Ling Clan is none other than the ultimate boss, Nihility Devouring Flame!
Even though the current strength of the Nihility Devouring Flame is not as terrifying as it was when the Yao Clan held the Medicine Clan's Medicine Ceremony in the Original Work, it is still not something that Xiao Lin, who is currently Late Four-Star Dou Sheng, can easily challenge.
Although Xiao Lin was confident that he could defeat Five-Star Dou Sheng and escape from Six-Star Dou Sheng using his various methods.
But even before annihilating the Ling Clan, Nihility Devouring Flame was probably already at the level of Eight-Star Dou Sheng. How could Xiao Lin dare to contact the Ling Clan under their very noses?
Therefore, even though Xiao Lin knew that the Ling Clan was most likely being targeted by the Nihility Devouring Flame at this time, he still did not have the confidence to use this as a bargaining chip to make a deal with the Ling Clan.
After all, if this isn't done well, it could easily lead to your own downfall...
Compared to one's own life, no amount of profit is worth mentioning.
Xiao Lin clearly understood this principle.
Moreover, in Xiao Lin's opinion, it was better to have the Nihility Devouring Flame keep an eye on the Ling Clan, then the Stone Clan and the Yao Clan, than to have them switch their focus and target his Xiao Household, right?
Well, better to die for your fellow Daoist than for yourself.
Therefore, Xiao Lin had never even considered the idea of saving the Ling Clan!
Even if he succeeded and could reap huge profits, he still didn't want to take the risk.
Because it's not worth it!
Unless he had already released the old dragon Zhukun before this, and thus had someone to rely on!
But Xiao Lin estimates that it will take him several more years to achieve this.
Anyway, even if we take a step back and assume that the Ling Clan was destroyed, it wasn't his fault, so there's no need for him to feel guilty.
However, Xiao Lin had absolutely not anticipated this!
Because of the butterfly effect he created, the Ling Clan actually got involved with his second grandson Xiao Li!
In fact, if Xiao Lin hadn't brought Xiao Li to Central Plains, Ling Miao wouldn't have taken him along on her escape with her four clansmen.
If that's the case, then Xiao Lin won't come.
The final outcome is just like in the Original Work story: the entire Ling Clan is eliminated in a match-3 game.
The Leadership of hope that the high-ranking members of the Ling Clan had secured for Ling Miao and the other three could not free them from Hun Zhan's pursuit!
Thinking of all this, Xiao Lin glanced at Ling Miao and the four Ling Clan boys and girls were already stunned with fear, his expression complicated.
Seeing this mysterious person, who could potentially bring hope to her and the remaining four members of her clan, suddenly look at the five of them with a complicated expression, Ling Miao felt somewhat bewildered.
Are there flowers on their faces?
Ling Miao wondered to herself.
At this point, Xiao Lin had no time to regret getting involved in the matter.
Besides, if his grandson is in trouble, he will definitely come over no matter what!
Regardless of whether Ling Miao and the other five had managed to escape from the Ling Clan by sheer luck, Xiao Lin had no other choice.
Moreover, the deep-seated hatred between the Xiao Household and the Hun Clan is no less than that between the Spirit Clan and the Ling Clan!
Since there's only one Hun Zhan right now, Nihility Devouring Flame isn't around, he might as well try to collect some of the interest the Hun Clan owes the Xiao Household from this Hun Clan member who's only at the Early-Stage Five-Star Dou Sheng!
"You are people of the Ling Clan. The Ling Clan was wiped out?"
After calming himself down, Xiao Lin looked at Ling Miao and asked.
"Crunch"
Upon hearing Xiao Lin's question, Ling Miao indeed revealed a gritted-teeth expression again, her eyes filled with resentment.
"Yes, senior, there are only five of us left in the Ling Clan..."
When Ling Miao spoke, her tone was filled with immeasurable sorrow.
Millions of their people died, leaving only them!
"I understand. If possible, could you please take my grandson aside for a moment? I'm afraid if I start fighting with this guy, I might not have time to care about anything else."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Lin spoke to Ling Miao, giving her his instructions.
Xiao Lin wasn't trying to help the Ling Clan five; it was purely for his own benefit.
After all, once Xiao Li got involved in this matter, he had no reason to extricate himself.
Therefore, he has no choice but to fight this battle!
They might even fight to the death!
Otherwise, if this Hun Clan member escapes, he will be instantly targeted by the Hun Clan!
At that time, it's possible that Dou Sheng) of the Hun Clan, above the fifth star level, will come knocking on our door.
It's not impossible that the Nihility Devouring Flame might be secretly making its move.
Therefore, he had to silence this Hun Clan member before him!
The killing intent was undisguised in Xiao Lin's eyes.
Ling Miao, who was standing to the side, became excited when she heard Xiao Lin say that.
"Yes, senior!"
Without any hesitation, Ling Miao took Xiao Li and the four completely stunned Ling Clan boys and girls and hid far away to the side.
She would have little chance of intervening in the upcoming battle, but with her cultivation as One-Star Dou Saint, she was confident she could withstand the aftershocks of their fight and protect Xiao Li and the others.
Grandpa, be careful!
Xiao Li had a thousand words in his heart, but in the end, they all boiled down to this one sentence.
In response, Xiao Lin simply gave his grandson a reassuring look.
As a grandfather, cleaning up after your grandson sometimes seems like just your duty!
At the same time, both Xiao Lin and Hun Zhan had already turned their attention to each other.
"Late Four-Star Dou Sheng, not bad, but that's about it!"
Hun Zhan first offered a word of praise, but then put on an indifferent expression.
The advantage lies with him Early-Stage Five-Star Dou Sheng fights Late Four-Star Dou Sheng!
In fact, Hun Zhan could have killed Xiao Li and the Ling Miao five people much earlier.
As long as he continues to attack from a distance as before, Ling Miao will have no chance of stopping him.
The reason Hun Zhan didn't do that was simply to lure Xiao Lin over.
Clearly, he was planning to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!
Otherwise, Xiao Li and the Ling Miao four wouldn't have been able to hold out until now.
Little did Hun Zhan know that the chance he gave away would make him regret it to the death!
"You're only at the early stage of five stars, do you really think you can take me down?"
Xiao Lin countered with a noncommittal question.
"Hehehe, I'll show you the difference between us!"
Even though the person in front of him gave him a slightly strange feeling, Hun Zhan remained completely unconcerned.
Because he possesses a treasure given to him by the Lord Void!
Let alone Late Four-Star Dou Sheng, he was confident he could even put up a fight against Five-Star Dou Sheng!
"Really? I hope your performance later matches your boasts!"
Xiao Lin smiled faintly.
At this moment, both of them were filled with absolute confidence in themselves!
However, when two tigers fight, one will surely be injured!
Who could be the one whose car overturned?
