"Old Liu, has Tianluodiwang assigned you any missions to deal with me recently?"
"Even Patriarch Xu received a mission to deal with me. Did they not give you any orders? You are, after all, a master of the Land Immortal realm. Though you're a weakling, once you break through that realm, you'll ascend to heaven with every step."
"Even ten Patriarch Xus combined wouldn't be enough for you to fight with one hand. And where did you get your elixirs?" Lin Xiaotian asked indifferently.
Old Liu lowered his head and confessed everything. These things were originally given to him by the higher-ups of Tianluodiwang. Now they were given to the Xu family, which was also an arrangement by those above. As for why they did it, the higher-ups didn't tell him the reason, and he wouldn't ask. It had long become a rule.
Lin Xiaotian stroked his chin, a smile gradually appearing on his face: "Do you know Murong Yu?"
"I've met her once. She's a high-ranking official in Tianluodiwang. The information she knows far exceeds mine. If we could capture her, we could definitely uncover many secrets of Tianluodiwang's higher-ups."
"Moreover, it would be a case of pulling out one and bringing up a whole bunch. Even casually digging up a few people would be enough to cause Tianluodiwang to lose a large number of elites."
"Even Tianluodiwang can't treat Grandmaster realm experts like cabbage, let alone Land Immortal realm masters. Losing even one is a huge loss for Tianluodiwang."
"They probably haven't suffered such a great loss in hundreds of years."
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Your suggestion is very good, but Murong Yu is already dead."
"What? She's dead?" Old Liu's eyes widened in disbelief, then he said fearfully, "Young Master, I'm not doubting your words, but this news is too shocking for me."
"That woman Murong Yu is cunning, venomous, and has no bottom line, and her strength is unfathomable."
"Although I've only met her once, that woman left a profound impression on me."
Lin Xiaotian waved his hand: "Alright, you can leave now. You should know my phone number. Remember to call me if anything happens. If Tianluodiwang makes any moves, contact me at any time."
"If they find me first and not you, think about the consequences yourself."
Old Liu nodded hurriedly. At this moment, he felt a temporary sense of relief. If he only had to be responsible for reporting to Lin Xiaotian, he could do it until he was old and gray. What he feared most was being made to follow Lin Xiaotian around like a lackey. He would probably suffer every day.
Lin Xiaotian had already guessed what he was thinking: "You don't need to overthink it. The biggest reason I'm sparing your life is for other experts from the Diwang. Don't worry, even if you give me information, I will definitely not involve you. After all, if something happens to you, who will pass me messages?"
"But you'd better be honest and not disappoint me. You can leave now!"
Old Liu hurriedly bowed in agreement, not daring to linger for another second.
When Lin Xiaotian walked out of the main hall of the villa, he found that none of the Xu family members were present. The Patriarch Xu, whom he had kicked out earlier, must have been completely crippled. Now he had disappeared.
"Interesting, they didn't forget to take that useless old man with them before running away."
"But that's good. It saves them from exposing any secrets they shouldn't. Running away makes things easier."
He hadn't planned to kill all the Xu family members anyway. Dealing with the main culprit was enough. The matter of Patriarch Xu joining Tianluodiwang was something he hadn't told anyone in the family.
Just as Lin Xiaotian was strolling out of the manor, he suddenly heard voices talking not far away.
"I'm telling you, Lin Xiaotian is definitely doomed. Although our family is no match for Lin Xiaotian, Mr. Liu can definitely send Lin Xiaotian to eternal damnation. Although we saw Mr. Liu's cautious and fearful look when we fled just now, I believe that was Mr. Liu feigning weakness."
"Otherwise, why did Mr. Liu leave unharmed, and Lin Xiaotian wasn't seen? When Lin Xiaotian discovered we left, he probably wanted to find us immediately, but look, has Lin Xiaotian come out yet?"
"Mr. Liu is too lazy to bother with us, but we can't abandon all our family assets and flee. I think we should go back and take a look."
At this moment, a weak voice was heard. The speaker was Patriarch Xu: "We must go back. Even if Lin Xiaotian is dead, I will tear him to pieces and eat his flesh alive. He dared to cripple me, I will make sure he never finds peace even in death."
His words, filled with immense hatred, were enough to send chills down anyone's spine.
The members of the Xu family also had anger in their eyes. Their Patriarch was the strongest expert among them, but he was crippled by Lin Xiaotian in one move. This was equivalent to destroying their Xu family's top combat power. Without the family to support them, the Xu family had lost its sharp fangs. Thinking about what they had done in the past, perhaps some forces would attack them as soon as they knew of their decline. At that time, they might not even know how they died.
"I agree with the Patriarch's opinion. We must go back and take a look. Moreover, the Patriarch has already said that his position will not be passed to the eldest young master. We were originally waiting to settle things down before slowly dealing with the eldest young master, as he was the one who brought this jinx, Lin Xiaotian, back."
"If Lin Xiaotian dies, then let him go to hell with Lin Xiaotian!"
Eldest Young Master Xu had already been tied up like a seed, his mouth gagged, unable to make any sound. His eyes were filled with deep despair. He knew that Lin Xiaotian's arrival here would surely lead to a bad outcome. He had originally thought Lin Xiaotian truly possessed that strength, but now he realized Lin Xiaotian was indeed arrogant, and there was another master in the family. It could only be said that Lin Xiaotian was unlucky, but he had dragged him down. The feeling of waiting for death to arrive was not pleasant.
Just as everyone was preparing to return to the family together.
Suddenly, they found a person standing on the road, smiling at them. Everyone present froze. Their expressions varied, but without exception, their eyes were filled with fear.
Lin Xiaotian looked at them with a smile: "I think I just heard someone say they wanted me to never find peace. Who said that? Be brave and step forward."
