Lin Xiaotian's face held a faint smile, his gaze filled with icy coldness. "Why did I cripple you? Don't you have any idea yourself?"
"I already told you before, you went too far, but you completely disregarded my words."
"Someone like you, who treats human lives as worthless as grass, must have countless blood and grudges on your hands. Crippling you today is merely giving you a taste of your own medicine."
"What you intended to do before was to completely eliminate the Du family. Since I've already agreed to help them resolve their troubles, I certainly won't stand by idly, especially after receiving quite a few benefits."
The old man's face contorted into a ferocious grimace. "What benefits did they give you? We can offer you double. Without even giving me a chance to speak, you crippled me directly. Aren't you afraid of our family's retaliation?"
Lin Xiaotian chuckled, a half-smile playing on his lips. "I'm not worried about your family's retaliation. What I fear is your family members hiding like rats and cockroaches."
"I will be coming for your family members immediately. You have something I want."
"And this information was something I asked Du Jinpeng to investigate. If this is the outcome, I must bear some responsibility, as the matter originated because of me. I absolutely cannot let you directly eliminate Du Jinpeng."
"If such a thing were to happen, who would dare to help me with my affairs in the future?"
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression grew even more furious. "You should give up on that idea. If you dare to go to our family, I will ensure you never return."
"Is it because your strength is immense? Let me tell you, we also have experts at the Land Immortal realm in our family. If you dare to come, it will be a path to death."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian's smile widened. "I didn't expect there to be such experts among you. Then I must make a personal visit. Perhaps the experts in your family might pique my interest."
"I also want to see where those hidden old monsters are hiding. I want to spar with them."
"To be honest, I haven't encountered anyone who can truly match me yet. I'm becoming increasingly interested in you all."
With that, Lin Xiaotian stood up, a brilliant smile on his face. "Let's go. I'll personally escort you back to your family."
"Don't thank me for sparing your life. At the very least, I need to know where your family's experts are hiding, and I need you to show me the way."
The old man's eyes blazed with extreme anger, bordering on madness.
His strength, cultivated for over eighty years, had been completely crippled in a single move. At this moment, he was filled with unparalleled rage.
Now, he had only one thought: to make Lin Xiaotian die. And indeed, his family did have experts at the Land Immortal realm.
Moreover, there was more than one.
"Fine. Since you wish to court death, I will take you back now. I want to see just how powerful you truly are. No matter who your backing is, you must be prepared to pay the price for what you have done."
The old man's fury was almost palpable. His sole thought now was to make the person before him pay a heavy price.
Lin Xiaotian's smiling gaze shifted to Du Jinpeng beside him. He said with a half-smile, "They are already preparing to make a move against you. You shouldn't harbor any more illusions."
"I will take you to their family now. I will capture all their experts in one fell swoop. After all, with their methods, they must have countless blood on their hands. You shouldn't hold any hope when facing such people."
"If their experts are not all apprehended, you will live a life worse than death, and your entire family could be wiped out."
Hearing this, Du Jinpeng had already guessed some possibilities.
This was clearly intended to use him as cannon fodder. His gaze was filled with helplessness.
At this moment, if he dared to refuse, Lin Xiaotian would likely be the first to eliminate him.
However, he had no idea what Lin Xiaotian was truly thinking. He immediately instructed the driver to drive in the direction indicated by the old man.
The vehicle soon arrived at the outskirts, where a small manor stood. Upon their arrival, the old man's face showed a smug expression, his eyes filled with malice.
"I can't believe you actually dared to have me lead the way here. Today is your day of reckoning. Not a single one of you will escape."
Having arrived at this point, he had no need to maintain his pretense any longer. His primary objective in bringing them here was to have them all killed.
He spoke loudly, intending to alert those within the manor.
The security personnel, upon seeing the old man, showed expressions of utter astonishment. Several of them surrounded them, and two rushed inside to report.
Lin Xiaotian glanced at them, a brilliant smile appearing on his face, his gaze filled with amusement. "I didn't expect such a significant discovery today. There's actually such a force hidden in this city."
"It seems I truly underestimated you."
The old man's gaze shifted. He knew that his message had been understood. At this moment, he had resigned himself to death.
"I have brought you here, and I know you won't let me go easily. Now, if you wish to act, do so. I will offer no resistance."
"However, I will wait for you on the road to the underworld. I believe it won't be long before you join me."
With that, he stood directly in front of Lin Xiaotian. He was determined to die, as he had been completely crippled and had no further use.
In his family, once one lost their strength, they became a useless burden.
And their family never kept useless burdens.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "You've brought me here, which is a meritorious deed. Of course, I won't kill you. Don't worry, I'll keep your old life so you can witness what you are about to face."
"Don't be too surprised. Brace yourself, or you might be so shocked that your jaw drops to the ground."
