Monarch Night

"But Ju Xiu Shui did not succeed, after she died, you summoned Lin Ao from the Guardian Hall, yet Lin Ao did not appear, using his young age as a reason, the family’s elders intervened to settle the matter."

"And today, summoning Lin Ao again, he still does not appear, instead, Lin Bai, the third master of the Lin family, came."

Fang Che said coldly: "What is it? The young master of the Lin family is so unpresentable? Able to dine at a restaurant but cannot come to the Guardian Hall?"

"That’s because they know, if Lin Ao comes, the traces of his cultivation of magic skills cannot escape the eyes of the experienced people of the Guardian Hall."

"So this so-called young and innocent young master of the Lin family has never shown himself!"

"And I remember, back then Lin Pingjiang died at the hands of the Blood Evil Demon Lord."

"And if the young master of the Lin family truly is as we suspect... the cultivation should be the Blood Slaughter Demon Technique of the Blood Evil Demon Lord."

"..."

Qi Lie and the others felt their worldview completely overturned at this moment.

Each of them had thunder roaring in their minds, unable even to think.

Because they simply could not comprehend this matter: the family ancestor fought demons and died; the family thrived under the ancestor’s glory, and received admiration from all.

But the family’s descendants have joined the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and are cultivating the evil technique of the demon who originally killed the ancestor!

What kind of miraculous turn is this?

"Are we confident?" Han Baiji asked.

Fang Che was silent for a moment and then said: "Seventy percent!"

Seventy percent!

Everyone there was an experienced Jianghu person, clearly understanding the implication of these two words. Excluding some uncertainty left for a retreat, the phrase "seventy percent" nearly meant it was set in stone!

"So I summoned Lin Ao first, because I know Lin Ao will absolutely not come."

Fang Che said: "And then detain two important figures of the Lin family, it is to see what reaction the Lin family will have in the end! If they have more connection higher up, they will definitely not sit idly by! They will certainly request help!"

"So, I’ve contacted Chief Zhao Shanhe, asking him to prepare a team to stand by and come to Baixiang Continent anytime!"

Fang Che said plainly: "Right now, I’m just afraid... I’m just afraid the strength may not be enough."

Qi Lie said quietly: "Our Guardian Hall of Baixiang Continent can deploy its full force at any time!"

Fang Che furrowed his brow and said: "Let’s wait and see. Let’s wait."

...

It was this very night.

The Lin family was already in chaos.

"The third master is detained, Old Pang is also detained."

Lin Family Head Lin Feng’s face was entirely sullen: "This Fang Tu, acts so recklessly, trampling over the rules!"

"It’s said Fang Tu went to pay respects to Ju Xiu Shui."

"No need for rumors, Fang Tu came this time precisely to avenge Ju Xiu Shui! This is undoubtedly certain! Back then, Ju Xiu Shui’s lover, Zuo Guanglie, worked under Fang Tu in Baiyun State."

"Later Zuo Guanglie died in battle. Ju Xiu Shui went to pay respects once..."

"So Fang Tu and Ju Xiu Shui were indeed connected."

Lin Feng snorted and said: "If we put ourselves in his place, after our brother died, if my brother’s wife was bullied and harmed, we would also be unable to stand it."

"So this time, Fang Tu’s nominal reason is to straighten out Baixiang Continent, but his real target is truly our Lin family!"

Lin Feng angrily said: "I had said before that Lin Ao should avoid going out whenever possible, it’s been ten years now, his temper is extremely fierce at this point, sometimes even affecting his sanity. But you all felt sorry for the child being cooped up at home every day, wanted him to go out and play for fresh air... and now this? Going out has led to such a big catastrophe! Are you satisfied now?"

"How can such a huge mistake be redeemed?"

"Since Fang Tu has set the tone, he will absolutely not let it drop. What will our Lin family do now?"

Lin Feng angrily slammed the table.

"For the Blood Slaughter Divine Skill secret manual the ancestor struggled to acquire; over years within the family, finally, a Lin family descendant with complete bloodline matching the Divine Skill has surfaced; only practiced for ten years, now faced with exposure? How can we face the ancestors!"

"Should we...contact higher up... against a vengeful Fang Tu, I’m afraid our Lin family may not stand it."

A middle-aged man beside him cautiously reminded.

"Back when Chief Wu Xiang was around, if this matter was reported to the sect, it really would be better discussed, and to preserve our secret strength the sect would also lend a hand, but now, the Southeast is under Young Master Yun’s leadership."

Lin Feng sighed: "Moreover, it was our Lin family’s own carelessness that led to this exposure. If reported... the punishment our Lin family faces..."

Panic showed in his eyes.

"But Young Master Yun will not easily abandon this strength of ours, will he? By all means, we are considered a sixth level family on the Guardian’s side..."

"Besides, if not reported, Fang Tu’s pressure will inevitably come, and when we persist in not handing over Little Ao, Fang Tu’s response will only grow more intense... the final outcome may likely still be reporting to the sect, and the sect, will definitely still report to Young Master Yun."

"In fact, the ending remains the same!"

"But now if reported, Young Master Yun dispatches people directly, much like when dealing with Ju Xiu Shui, using the sect’s power to kill Fang Tu in Baixiang Continent... then this case, we use means to smooth over... still preserving the Lin family’s exposure."

The middle-aged man softly persuaded.

Only four people were in the room in total.

And a soundproof barrier had already been set up.

With four speaking, there was no fear of exposure.
