Upon hearing this, Lin Dong nodded.
Qin Huayu was indeed sincere and soon summoned five Ninth Level Grandmaster Martial Artists.
These were the five most powerful individuals in the Qin Family, aside from himself.
Lin Dong took out a vial of Gu worm from his bosom.
He said to them, "You all know what’s happened, right?"
The five exchanged glances and could only nod.
For the Qin Family, they could only sacrifice themselves.
If they refused, then the entire martial artists of the Qin Family would be slaughtered by Lin Dong, and they themselves would not survive.
Hence, they could only agree and swallow the Gu worm. In the future, they would be driven by Qin Yitian.
But the only consolation was that Qin Yitian was also a mber of the Qin Family, and in the future, the Qin Family would still follow one of their own.
Even if soday Qin Yitian and Master Lin have children, if the Qin Family falls into their hands, those children would at least have half Qin Family blood.
That could be sowhat acceptable.
This was also the reason Qin Huayu agreed to Lin Dong’s terms.
After completing these matters, Lin Dongfang prepared to depart.
Lin Dong stood up, his gaze as sharp as a hawk, and stared at Qin Huayu: "Rember, this is your Qin Family’s last opportunity. Should there be any act of betrayal, I, Lin Dong, will ensure the Qin Family utterly disappears from this world."
After speaking, he turned around to leave, but as he was about to step through the conference hall door, he stopped, facing away from Qin Huayu, and said:
"Qin Huayu, although you are a woman, you have the courage that doesn’t let n overshadow you. May the Qin Family truly get on the right track through your sacrifice."
With those words, he departed.
Qin Huayu looked at Lin Dong’s back, falling into silence.
After a long silence, she murmured:
"Fortune is accompanied by misfortune, and misfortune is accompanied by fortune. Perhaps this incident is not completely a bad thing, at least from now on, our Qin Family is tied together with Master Lin, a mythical figure of ten thousand years."
"And if in the future, he and Yitian have a child, then perhaps this child will definitely be our Qin Family’s chance to rise again, even surpass what we’ve been before."
Saying this, she looked at the nurous Qin Family mbers and warned: "In the future, don’t play tricks on . Serve Qin Yitian well!"
"If I find out anyone’s scheming behind my back, I will not spare them!"
All the Qin Family mbers replied in unison: "Yes!"
...
After Lin Dong left the Qin Family, he quickly headed to the Xiao Family.
He soon arrived at the Xiao Family.
At the Xiao Family, there wasn’t the chaos like the Qin Family because, upon returning, the current patriarch of the Xiao Family, Xiao Yuan, was presiding.
This Xiao Yuan is Xiao Huang’s grandfather, a man with great ambition and skills.
His strength is also that of a Ninth Level Grandmaster.
At this mont, he gathered all the Xiao Family mbers to discuss sothing.
"Everyone, since the Old Ancestor’s death, our Xiao Family no longer has Heavenly Realm Martial Artists to preside."
"Of course, even without Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, we’re incomparable to other Hidden Clans, it’s not sothing other Martial World Families can exploit. So in this regard, everyone shouldn’t be worried."
"The only concern, which is urgent to resolve, is Master Lin’s rage."
"He will definitely co to settle accounts with us. For this matter, what do you all think should be done?"
As soon as these words were said, soone imdiately chid in:
"I just received news that Master Lin paid a visit to the Qin Family. I heard he initially intended to kill all the Qin Family’s martial artists. But later changed his mind and negotiated with the Qin Family."
"In the end, Master Lin spared the Qin Family but put forth two conditions. One was to kill Qin Qiyu, and the other was to make the entire Qin Family serve Qin Yitian."
Upon hearing this, the Xiao Family’s patriarch, Xiao Yuan, slightly changed his expression as if he was pondering sothing.
Finally, he said: "It seems we can also learn from the Qin Family."
"Here’s the plan, we’ll push Xiao Huang out to appease Master Lin’s rage. Then we’ll pledge our entire clan’s allegiance to him and believe he will spare us as he did the Qin Family."
"As for this allegiance, it probably won’t last long. Just three months, that Master Lin has already been hit by the Qin Family Founding Patriarch’s Dead Soul Curse, and only has three months to live."
"We just need to endure these three months, and then we can do whatever we want..."
His eyes glinted with a trace of ruthlessness. Clearly, despite outwardly pledging allegiance to Lin Dong, internally he was not truly submissive.
Others nodded in agreent.
"The patriarch is right, this plan is feasible."
"Since he agreed to the Qin Family’s conditions, he’ll certainly agree to ours."
"For now, we’ll pretend to submit, and when he dies, we’ll rise up and plot our revenge!"
"Then, we’ll tear Qin Yitian that bitch apart!"
"It’s all her fault, she brought harm upon our Xiao Family!"
"..."
Just then, soone reported: "Patriarch, Lin... Master Lin has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Xiao Yuan also instructed: "Alright, let’s proceed with what we discussed earlier."
"Let’s go!"
The group moved towards the outside.
anwhile, on the other side, Lin Dong’s figure stepped into the ancient and heavy main gate of the Xiao Family’s residence.
The sound of the door hinge turning was exceptionally piercing in the quiet night, as though heralding not the dawn of peace but the prelude to a storm.
Inside the Xiao Family hall, ablaze with bright lights, yet unable to conceal the tension and unease perating the air.
Patriarch Xiao Yuan, clad in splendid attire, sat at the head of the table, his expression serious, his eyes flickering with complicated emotions.
Beside him stood the core mbers of the Xiao Family, each face etched with fear of the unknown.
"Master Lin’s presence graces us, the whole Xiao Family feels greatly honored." Xiao Yuan’s voice deliberately sounded respectful and ek.
But the calculation deeply hidden in his heart surged like an undercurrent, hard to conceal.
Lin Dong stepped into the hall, his gaze as sharp as a torch, scanning around before finally landing on Xiao Yuan.
"Patriarch Xiao, you and I both know the reason for my visit today." Lin Dong’s voice was calm yet forceful, each word struck like a heavy hamr on everyone’s heart.
Xiao Yuan smiled faintly, seemingly benign but actually hiding sharpness.
"Indeed, Master Lin is right, the Xiao Family is willing to imitate the Qin Family to demonstrate our sincerity, only hoping Master Lin will show rcy and spare the innocent mbers of our Xiao Family."
After speaking, Xiao Yuan gestured, and several Xiao Family samurai escorted a ragged, hollow-eyed man into the hall.
The man was once glorious Xiao Huang, now reduced to a walking corpse, devoid of intelligence.
"This is the disgrace of our Xiao Family, Xiao Huang, who actually dared to compete with Master Lin for a woman, he truly deserves death! To express sincerity, I am willing to personally deal with him, showing our Xiao Family’s heart of submission." Xiao Yuan’s words were resolute, then he drew the long sword from his waist, the sword light flashed.
"Pfft!!" He directly decapitated Xiao Huang with one stroke.
