Afternoon.
A shocking piece of news spread through the upper class of Modu, as well as its underworld.
The news was that the legendary Elder Hua had spoken, demanding that Lin Hao kowtow and present himself at the Hua family to meet his death. Otherwise, the entire Lin family would be annihilated!
At first, some people didn't know who Lin Hao was. But as the news circulated, all the recent actions of Lin Hao were dug up one by one. And when Lin Hao's deeds were unearthed, both the upper class and the underworld of Modu were instantly stunned.
For a time, the entire Modu was in an uproar, exploding like a pot. No one had expected that the formidable figure who had annihilated the Zhou and Zhao families, striking fear into the hearts of Modu's prominent families, was Lin Hao. And now, he had almost beaten Elder Hua's only beloved grandson to death. This was truly a reincarnation of the Monkey King.
However, this time, whether it was Modu's upper class or its underworld, almost everyone did not think highly of Lin Hao. The reason was simple: Elder Hua was a legend in the eyes of Modu's various families and factions. He was a god. To dare to kick at Elder Hua's head was to stir up trouble on the Tai Sui's head, and to die without knowing how.
Elder Hua was one of the few remaining Huajin Grandmasters in China. And the saying "all below Grandmaster are ants" was not just a saying. It represented supreme power. This meant that as long as one reached Huajin, except for those in the same realm, all below Huajin were ants. Moreover, Elder Hua had been stationed in Modu, resisting the infiltration of many foreign underground forces. Even foreign powers changed their expressions when Elder Hua was mentioned.
What about the solitary Lin Hao? Compared to Elder Hua, Lin Hao was a mere ant, while Elder Hua was a towering tree. He was simply unshakeable...
As various analyses spread, Lin Hao's name became known to everyone in Modu. At the same time, he was pushed to the forefront of public attention. On a certain online forum, someone had even created a post urging Lin Hao to turn back from the brink. In that post, almost all the content was about how Lin Hao should beg Elder Hua for mercy, how he should kowtow and apologize to Elder Hua, and then ask Elder Hua to spare his life. Some netizens even jointly wrote a letter, asking Lin Hao to include pictures when he begged for mercy, perhaps then Elder Hua would spare his life.
Lin Hao was unaware of this online information. However, the doorstep of Lin Hao's villa was almost worn flat. First came Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng. Then came Li Qingyuan and Li Xue. Following them were Han Chen and Song Ming, Zhao Ying, and Yang Yu. And then came Tang Ziyuan.
Lin Hao looked at the people on the sofa in the living room, talking over each other, and felt a splitting headache. He truly hadn't expected that such a simple matter would stir up such a huge wave. However, Hua Xian's words also ignited a spark of anger in Lin Hao's heart. Lin Hao hadn't expected that Hua Xian would spread the word throughout Modu, threatening to annihilate his entire family. This meant that unless he truly kowtowed and presented himself at the Hua family to meet his death, Hua Xian would definitely bring people to the Lin family.
Although Lin Hao didn't have much affection for the Lin family, it was still his home, where he had grown up. Moreover, his grandfather was there. He did not allow anyone to disturb his grandfather. His grandfather was already old, and he didn't want anyone or anything to disturb or offend his grandfather. This was his bottom line.
Thinking of this, Lin Hao shook his head with cold eyes. A Huajin Grandmaster? He would see this time just how powerful the so-called Huajin Grandmaster was. With these thoughts, Lin Hao looked at Xiao Hei and said directly, "Spread the word, say that within three days, I will personally visit and take the dog's head of your Hua Xian!" "If he knows what's good for him, he should quickly tuck his tail and get out of Modu."
As soon as Lin Hao said this, before Xiao Hei could reply, everyone in the hall was stunned. Immediately, Liu Yongchang, Lai Qingsheng, and others began to persuade him. But as they were persuading Lin Hao, Xiao Hei had already left.
About half an hour later, the entire Modu was thrown into an uproar! The message Lin Hao had Xiao Hei release stunned everyone. Almost everyone in Modu had not expected Lin Hao to reply within an hour. Moreover, the content of the reply was so explosive. This was simply the most explosive news in Modu in recent decades!
At the same time, as everyone in Modu was stunned, Hua Xian also received Lin Hao's reply. Upon hearing Lin Hao's reply, Hua Xian was so enraged that he smashed the rosewood table beside him with a single palm. Hua Xian's white hair moved as if in the wind, and the wrinkles on his face twitched incessantly. Finally, he looked at Hua Yu below and said coldly, "Tell him that at dusk three days from now, he is to come to Qingshan Lake to meet his death!" "Not only will I kill him, but I will also annihilate his entire family!" "Yes, Grandfather." Hua Xian's anger made Hua Yu below tremble uncontrollably. After agreeing, Hua Yu quickly exited the door. And less than half an hour after Hua Yu exited the door, the entire Modu was once again thrown into an uproar. The news that Elder Hua had summoned Lin Hao to Qingshan Lake for a duel swept through every corner of Modu like a whirlwind. Although Hua Yu's original words were for Lin Hao to come to Qingshan Lake at dusk three days later to meet his death, and after killing Lin Hao, he would also annihilate Lin Hao's entire family, these words were clearly heard as a duel.
However, duel or not, almost everyone believed that Lin Hao had no chance of winning the duel at Qingshan Lake three days later. Moreover, regarding Hua Xian's intention to annihilate Lin Hao's entire family, no one had anything to say. Grandmasters are not to be insulted. If nothing else, just for Lin Hao's previous words about taking Elder Hua's dog's head, Elder Hua was justified in annihilating Lin Hao's entire family.
Thus, after Hua Yu released the news, the tide in Modu was overwhelmingly one-sided. Almost everyone believed that Lin Hao had no chance of winning the duel at Qingshan Lake at dusk three days later. He was simply going to his death. However, many people also believed that Lin Hao would feign compliance first and then secretly escape.
And the people standing in Lin Hao's villa also had this idea. However, they were not thinking that Lin Hao would secretly escape; rather, they were trying to persuade Lin Hao to secretly escape. At this moment, everyone in the villa became anxious. Everyone present knew very well what kind of person Elder Hua was. Elder Hua was like a god in Modu, someone they could not possibly resist. Not to mention that Elder Hua himself was one of the few remaining Huajin Grandmasters in China; with his current status, he could put Lin Hao to death with just a word!
