At the same time, Murong Family's hall was brightly lit, filled with the family's elders, councilors, and core members.
The entire hall was packed with people.
Sitting at the highest seat, Murong Chongtian, with a sharp gaze and a very gloomy expression, said,
"You all must know why I have summoned you here."
Upon hearing this, the elders and councilors exchanged looks and then unanimously nodded.
"Clan Leader, has this Lin Mo really become that strong?"
"Yes, just two years ago, he was nothing but a waste from the Lin Family. Even if he defied the heavens, could he really oppose our Murong Family?"
However, the Great Elder sitting at the far right said in a deep voice,
"This Lin Mo is not the waste he was two years ago. He disappeared for two years, but has come back with an incredible Martial Power."
"You may not know yet, but from what the Clan Leader and I have learned, Lin Mo has transformed himself completely after descending from Yundian Mountain."
"Shu Province was his first stop after coming down the mountain, but with his own skills, he annihilated numerous powerful families, then punched the South Korean master Cui Zhenyuan to death, beheaded Zhuo Qianjun who was twenty-first on the Emperor List, and later, in the sky at ten thousand meters, he killed Yuan Qingtian, who was the fifth powerful figure on the Emperor List, with just one finger."
Hiss!!!
Hearing this, the people from the Murong Family couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Was this the same Lin Family's Young Master from two years ago? He seemed incredibly formidable.
Seeing the subtle changes in everyone's expressions, the Murong Family's Great Elder coldly said,
"That's not all. After returning to Imperial City, he even crippled Lu Chendong and Xuanyuan Chen, and afterward, when Lu Gucheng and Chu Beixiong sought revenge from Lin Mo, they were killed one by one, all by Lin Mo himself!"
"Just tonight, Ye Nantian, the second highest on the Martial Arts Peak, was also defeated by him with a single move!"
"What… What?"
In that moment, the minds of those present couldn't remain calm anymore.
If the earlier news was somewhat bearable, these last two pieces of news were undoubtedly like heavy bombs for them.
"Lin Mo has actually grown to this extent."
"How regrettable; back then, we could have crushed him as easily as crushing an ant, and now, he has become so terrifying."
"What should we do now? We can't just sit and wait for death."
Suddenly, the councilors of the Murong Family's complexions changed dramatically, while the Eight Elders appeared much calmer.
Although Lin Mo's power indeed seemed unmatched, these Eight Elders had already reached the level of Intermediate Martial Venerate two years ago.
Thus, their expressions didn't change too much.
Just then, suddenly, a youth wearing a suit and glasses stumbled into the room.
"Dad, something terrible has happened!"
Seeing the young man's panicked appearance, Murong Chongtian couldn't help but frown slightly and said in a stern voice, "What happened? Why are you in such a panic, have you forgotten all the lessons I've taught you about bearing and demeanor?"
Murong Feng adjusted his glasses frame, his eyes trembling slightly as he said, "Dad, something really has happened."
Murong Chongtian's face became a bit uglier, but he still asked calmly, "What exactly happened to make you so unsettled?"
Murong Feng took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and then said with a slightly heavy voice,
"Dad, I must inform you, just this afternoon, our company's stock and the entire market underwent huge fluctuations."
"Initially, I thought I could handle it myself, but unexpectedly, a company called Die Mo Pharmaceutical started playing a money-burning game with our Murong Family. They poured money in and forced our Murong Family's stock to plummet repeatedly. If this continues, our Murong Family will definitely go bankrupt!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone from the Murong Family present changed drastically.
Murong Chongtian remained relatively composed, his eyes turning slightly colder as he asked, "Have you found out who the person responsible behind Die Mo Pharmaceutical is?"
"We don't know the specifics, but the person in charge seems to be called Mr. Lin from Shu Province."
"What?"
At that, Murong Chongtian and the elders present couldn't stay composed anymore.
Murong Chongtian's gaze suddenly turned sinister, and a cold laugh escaped his lips, "Ha! It seems this is a premeditated business war, and this Lin Mo has officially declared war on our Murong Family!"
Murong Feng clenched his fists, his eyes somewhat defeated, "Dad, if this continues, our Murong Family will soon be in a financial crisis; it seems we have already been utterly defeated in this business war."
At this time, the Great Elder's expression darkened slightly as he looked towards Murong Chongtian with a solemn voice,
"Family Head, it seems that from now on, we must not underestimate this Lin Mo."
"We have already been completely defeated in the business war, and if Lin Mo uses martial power to completely crush our Murong Family, then our Murong Family will truly be destroyed!"
Murong Chongtian's face suddenly turned fierce as he snorted coldly,
"Lin Mo, you brat, I spared you two years ago, and you dare seek revenge against our Murong Family, thinking you are invincible? This world isn't as simple as you think!"
At that moment, a servant of the Murong Family ran in quickly and knelt on the ground, "Family Head, the Yun Family, Chen Family, Xuanyuan Family, and Shangguan Family have all arrived."
Murong Family stood with his hands behind his back, a trace of joy flickering in his eyes, "Quick, have them come in."
Soon, a line of people walked in from the outside, their aura immensely powerful.
With each step they took, everyone felt an immense oppression, as if their hearts were being crushed.
Upon seeing these newcomers, the Great Elder of the Murong Family exclaimed in surprise,
"The Clan Leaders and elders of the Yun Family, Chen Family, Xuanyuan Family, and Shangguan Family have all come!"
Murong Chongtian huffed coldly, his face full of domineering presence, "As long as that Lin Mo dares to come, my Murong Family will definitely execute him!"
Upon hearing his words, the Eight Elders all respectfully said, "Clan Leader's wisdom and power!!"
Soon, several from the super families of Imperial City came in, these were white-haired, elderly men, mostly over a hundred years old, all possessing transcendent strength.
Seeing these people, Murong Chongtian greeted them with great enthusiasm,
"I am deeply gratified that you could come to join our Murong Family. I, Murong Chongtian, would like to extend my thanks to all of you in advance."
However, the Clan Leader of the Xuanyuan Family, Xuanyuan Fu, spoke up,
"Murong Clan Chief, there's no need for formalities, eliminating this person is an unshirkable responsibility for my Xuanyuan Family!"
"Yes, this villain dares to behave so arrogantly in the Imperial City. If we do not kill him, we will not appease the hatred in our hearts."
The other people present also spoke up in agreement.
The people present, more or less, all had some grievances with Lin Mo.
For example, the Yun Family, whose collaborative partner, the Wang Family, had been annihilated by Lin Mo, cutting off their major benefits.
The Chen Family and Shangguan Family were purely here to divide the benefits of Die Mo Pharmaceutical.
Before inviting them, Murong Chongtian had told them that if Lin Mo were to be eliminated, then the benefits of Die Mo Pharmaceutical would also be shared with them.
A few other families, also from the super families of Imperial City, joined in the cause to eliminate Lin Mo as well.
Seeing everyone raising their arms and shouting, Murong Chongtian's eyes revealed a terrifying storm of slaughter:
"Good!! This Lin Mo is arrogant beyond measure, having destroyed several families in the Imperial City, truly a devil and an Asura. We gather here to exterminate this rebellious Lin Mo and eradicate this evil for the people!"
