The Zhou Household patriarch's move not only alarmed Lin Xuan, but also alerted other forces in the surrounding area.
Seeing the Zhou Household patriarch suspended in mid-air, clearly enraged, they all looked over, some openly, some secretly, but no one made a move. They all watched with expressions of amusement, and discussed among themselves.
"Tsk tsk, I wonder how these Lins managed to offend Old Freak Zhou. Now they're all probably going to die."
"Why would you choose to provoke the Zhou Household when you could live a peaceful life? Perhaps you think you've already offended my sect enough?"
"These people are like leeches, clinging to this place like glue, they're determined to die. I don't know where they came from, it would be better if they all died."
"That's true. They're just a bunch of poor bastards, stubborn and unyielding. They haven't squeezed a penny out of them in twenty years. It's time for them to die."
The disciples of the Great Wilderness Sect arrived at some unknown time and watched from the sidelines, their faces full of mockery, disdain, and schadenfreude.
Almost everyone felt that the Lin Household was doomed this time.
However, at that moment, everyone suddenly heard a voice boom out, filled with barely concealed anger, uttering a single word.
"I told you to come, and you actually dared to come!"
"Then I'll let you die, and you can die too."
"Die--!"
The sheer power of that one word caused many to tremble in their hearts, and the sweeping force made even some of the stronger individuals stare wide-eyed in disbelief.
Not to mention those few talkative disciples of the Great Wilderness Sect. The moment the overwhelming power struck, they seemed to have something choking them, unable to utter a single word. All that remained was their faces filled with fear and terror as they stared in the direction of the dilapidated courtyard.
An extremely terrifying Sword Qi rose from that direction, soaring into the air above the ruined courtyard, like a crescent moon in the night, piercing the darkness and slicing towards the head of the Zhou Household patriarch.
With a whoosh!
The Zhou Household patriarch didn't even have time to react before the Sword-Ray pierced through his body. He fell silently from mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground before he could even utter his last words.
A cloud of dust was stirred up.
Everyone looked on in astonishment, only to see that the Zhou Household patriarch, who had fallen unharmed, now showed signs of damage from the Sword-Ray after the impact of the fall.
He was actually split in two at the throat, his head and body separated and rolled over to the side of a disciple of the Great Wilderness Sect!
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
The Zhou Household's ancestor...
He just perished like that?
They stared wide-eyed in disbelief, rubbing their eyes frantically, as if trying to see if they were dreaming.
However, no matter how hard they tried to see, the corpse of the Zhou Household patriarch, the Thearch Realm Old Freak Zhou, lay scattered haphazardly before them.
Dead beyond dead!
Only then did everyone slowly come to their senses and realize something extremely terrifying.
The Zhou Household's patriarch not only died, but was also killed instantly by One Sword strike!
A terrifying thought surfaced in their minds.
No matter what, the Zhou Household patriarch was still an Thearch Realm expert! Moreover, he had been an Thearch Realm for many years, making him a veteran Thearch Realm expert!
The strongest among the Lin Household's useless bunch is only at the King Realm; it's impossible that they killed Old Freak Zhou.
so...
Where on earth did they find such a powerful ally?!
Let alone them finding it unbelievable.
Even the members of the Lin Household were stunned into disbelief upon witnessing this scene.
They stared in shock at the surrounding ruins, then turned their gaze to the Zhou Household patriarch, utterly incredulous.
Young master...
Is it really that strong?
Others might not recognize whose voice it was, but how could they, who had just met him, not recognize it? It was their young master's voice!
The young master can actually kill Thearch Realm with One Sword strike!?
This, this...
Uncle Lin was so shocked he was speechless, and his expression was somewhat dazed.
It should be noted that even among the Holy Clan, those at the Thearch Realm are not considered weak.
How could the young master have grown to such a terrifying level over the years?
Amidst the chaos and ruins, a young man in white, sword in hand, emerged. Even on the ground, he did not appear inferior; on the contrary, everyone else stared at him.
All they heard was his cold, murderous voice, which instantly resounded in all directions.
"Those who harm my people shall die!"
The sound spread, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Clan members!?
They never imagined that this terrifying swordsman would actually be a member of the Lin Household, a group of people who were considered utterly useless!
Just who are these people?!
They stared in disbelief at the group of Lin Household. Although the Lin Lineage members hadn't changed at all, they knew that if the Lin Household continued to stay in Great Wilderness City in the future, they would no longer be pitiful people who could be bullied by others.
Anyone who wants to harm the Lin Household should think twice before doing so, considering whether they can withstand One Sword from the person behind the Lin Lineage member who is at least an Thearch Realm expert!
Those present were filled with fear.
Especially those disciples of the Great Wilderness Sect.
You should know that they have bullied the Lin Household quite a bit over the years.
If this powerful swordsman wanted to settle old scores with them today...
In an instant, cold sweat seeped down their spines, soaking their clothes, but not one of them dared to turn and run away.
escape?
Perhaps they're just waiting to die!
In the face of such a powerful being, where is there any chance of escape?
If he hadn't given the order, I doubt anyone would have dared to leave today!
Even the Zhou Household's patriarch was killed with One Sword strike; they certainly didn't think they could withstand One Sword.
remedy!
This must be remedied immediately!
We absolutely cannot die like the Zhou Household patriarch, so quickly and cleanly!
After figuring out the pros and cons, many people showed up and bowed in Lin Xuan's direction.
"Fellow Daoist, your methods are skillful. That old dog from the Zhou Household was blind and offended you; he should have died long ago."
"My name is Wang Anping, the patriarch of one of the prominent Lineage in this Great Wilderness City. Fellow Daoist, you have come from afar; this is but a small gift, offered with utmost respect."
"Hahaha, I already noticed that this group of Rogue Cultivator from the Lin Clan are extraordinary. So you're from my clan, fellow Daoist. My apologies for my rudeness. Consider this pill a small gift as a token of our greeting; please accept it!"
"I am the leader of the Great Wilderness Sect. I have offended you in the past. I hereby offer you a flying boat and thirty million Spirit Stone. Please forgive me!"
Almost all the powerful figures from the Great Wilderness City appeared here, and everyone remained respectful. They even gave away their most treasured possessions.
This scene was utterly unbelievable to the Lin Lineage members.
All of this...
It all feels like a dream.
Normally, these powerful figures are so arrogant, but at this moment, they are all trembling with fear, even begging them to accept those precious things.
Lin Fang's eyes lit up as she gazed at Lin Xuan's back. In that instant, that figure was almost etched into her heart.
He saw those who had once bullied him; now, they were all trembling behind their teachers, their faces pale, their eyes darting away as they looked at him.
Lin Fang almost burst out laughing.
The Lin Household used to have such a hard life, almost crushed into the dust. But what about now?
Why aren't they arrogant anymore?
They dare not!
Almost all the members of the tribe shared the same thought.
At this moment, they finally understood what it meant to be triumphant.
And all of this was brought about by the young master!
Their gazes toward Lin Xuan became more affectionate and more trusting.
For the past twenty years, the Lin Lineage has struggled to survive here, suffering countless losses and bowing their heads in the hands of these forces.
But now, the situation has finally reversed.
They will never be bullied again!
Lin Xuan coldly looked at these people who were bowing and scraping before him, apologizing. With just a casual glance, he understood what had happened.
If they didn't have something to hide, why would they be so eager to take out something and apologize?
He immediately gave a cold laugh.
"Now you know to admit your mistake and apologize?"
"When you harmed my people, why didn't you consider that this might have happened to you today?"
The powerful figures all looked rather grim, but no one spoke.
In their view, they had already bowed their heads and apologized; what more did this powerful member of the Lin Household want?
He's just one person; he has so many other people in his tribe!
If you want to stay in this Great Wilderness City any longer, you should understand their meaning and make peace!
However.
I understand, that's all.
From the moment he drew his sword, Lin Xuan never intended to shake hands and make peace with these people.
He coldly looked at everyone, casually slashing his sword through the air, the Sword-Ray instantly spreading out and fiercely slashing towards those powerful figures!
Those who have humiliated his people, today they shall pay with their lives!
