anwhile, in Heavenly Martial City.
Within the City Lord Mansion, the City Lord of Heavenly Martial City sat quietly in the highest seat. Below him, many seats were also filled with dignitaries from throughout Heavenly Martial City, mostly Family Heads of the city’s major clans, and those who were not Family Heads at least had the authority to speak on their behalf.
Suddenly, the eyes of Heavenly Martial City Lord Fang Qianqu swept slowly over the crowd as he asked, "Are you all prepared?"
His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an inexplicable pressure.
Soone imdiately stood up and respectfully said, "Lord City Lord, we are all ready. As soon as you give the command, we can attack the Lin Family."
"Hm!"
Fang Qianqu nodded in satisfaction, his face full of a rich smile, "You’ve all done well. Rest assured, after we take down the Lin Family, I will definitely report to our revered superior and reward you generously."
"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"
Many people were visibly pleased.
However, following this soone worriedly said, "But... Lord City Lord, it is said that Lin Tianyu has escaped from the Space Fragnts of the Outer Realm Battlefield. If we strike against the Lin Family now, and if we enrage Lin Tianyu, perhaps..."
Fang Qianqu directly waved his hand to interrupt the person, saying indifferently, "Rest assured on this matter. The preparations on our revered superior’s side are already flawless. Should Lin Tianyu dare to take action, his death is certain."
After hearing Fang Qianqu’s words, everyone relaxed and smug smiles appeared on their faces.
Then Fang Qianqu asked again, "Right, what about Li Ziyan, famously sworn to defend the Lin Family to death? No problems on his side, I trust?"
Soone said loudly, "Rest assured, Lord City Lord, Li Ziyan is locked up in the Heavenly Prison. Even with imnse talent, he wouldn’t be able to escape!"
Fang Qianqu stated, "After I eliminate the Lin Family, I want to kill Li Ziyan personally, hmph!"
As he spoke, waves of killing intent radiated from his body.
...
That night!
The entire Lin Family was steeped in an air of heavy oppression.
In the council hall of the Lin Family, the upper echelons had already gathered.
The Family Head, Lin Zhenxiong, said in a grave voice, "Everyone, please share any ideas you might have on how we can survive this predicant."
Upon saying this, Lin Zhenxiong paused for a brief mont before continuing, "Now is the mont of life and death for our Lin Family. If we do not handle it properly, it’s possible our Lin Family could be utterly annihilated."
"It’s true. Moreover, the young talents of our Lin Family are cultivating in nearby sects. Even if the Lin Family perishes, our roots will remain intact. Once the younger generation grows and becos strong, our Lin Family can rise to glory once more."
"To fight to the death!"
An intense War Intent began to boil within each of the Lin Family’s higher-ups.
"Family Head!"
At that mont, a descendant of the Lin Family burst in, saying, "Young Master Lin Fan has returned."
"What?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Lin Fan had returned?
Soon Lin Zhenxiong beca angry, "Damn it, what’s that brat coming back for at a ti like this?"
Among the younger generation of the Lin Family, Lin Zhenxiong valued Lin Fan the most. He believed that as long as Lin Fan was safe, the Lin Family could rise again.
Now that the Lin Family was in dire crisis, if Lin Fan was to co back at this ti, wouldn’t it be a wasted life?
The Seventh Elder spoke up at this mont, "Family Head, we must find a way to imdiately send Lin Fan away. This youngster Lin Fan is quite special, and I believe he can rejuvenate our Lin Family, so he absolutely must not co to harm."
"That’s right, we must get Lin Fan out of here!"
"Lin Fan mustn’t be put in danger!"
Many high-ranking mbers of the Lin Family agreed on sending Lin Fan away.
After all, when Lin Fan was still at the Initial Profound Realm, he already demonstrated an extrely terrifying talent.
They believed that, given ti, Lin Fan would certainly rejuvenate the Lin Family.
But not now.
They felt Lin Fan was still too young and his Cultivation was surely limited; he wouldn’t be able to accomplish much.
Family Head Lin Zhenxiong’s face then showed a resolute expression as he said, "Alright, I will make arrangents imdiately to send that brat away from our Lin Family!"
Just as Lin Zhenxiong’s voice fell, the voice of Lin Fan ca from outside the door, "No need!"
As the voice settled, Lin Fan entered the room and continued, "The reason I’ve co back is precisely because our Lin Family is in trouble. How could you send away?"
Lin Zhenxiong said, "Lin Fan, don’t be reckless. This ti, our Lin Family is facing great danger. If you leave now, you still can, but once they co to attack, there will be no way out."
Lin Fan said confidently, "Grandfather, don’t worry. As long as I, Lin Fan, am here, our Lin Family will not face great peril. Heh heh!"
Lin Zhenxiong said, "You brat, don’t boast too much. You should know, even our protector Li Ziyan has been captured by the City Lord Mansion. Staying here will only be a senseless sacrifice."
"What?"
A strong surge of killing intent appeared on Lin Fan suddenly, and he asked, "General Li has been captured by the City Lord Mansion? It seems the City Lord Mansion really has the audacity of a desperado!"
Lin Fan had a very good impression of Li Ziyan.
When Lin Fan was still at the Initial Profound Realm, the Lin Family had nearly been destroyed, and it was Li Ziyan who arrived with troops to protect the Lin Family, even declaring on the spot that he would protect the Lin Family for three years.
Who would have thought that the iron-willed man had been captured by the City Lord Mansion?
Lin Zhenxiong then said, "Fan, the City Lord Mansion is too powerful now, we are no match for them. So, we should avoid confrontation, especially you should leave. As long as you’re alive, there’s still hope for our Lin Family."
After Lin Zhenxiong’s speech, others also nodded in agreent.
Obviously, they all agreed with Lin Zhenxiong.
However, Lin Fan shook his head, "No, I won’t leave."
Lin Zhenxiong beca anxious and said, "But..."
Lin Fan gestured with his hand to interrupt Lin Zhenxiong, "Grandfather, rest assured. As I said before, as long as I am here, our Lin Family won’t face great danger."
After this pause, Lin Fan’s gaze slowly swept across the people in the room and he continued, "Perhaps, you all think I’m boasting, but what I want to tell you is, if I say so, I can make it happen."
"Don’t talk about the City Lord Mansion, even the entire kingdom isn’t worth much!"
Lin Fan’s tone was filled with grandeur.
