Young Master Xu hurried after Lin Xiaotian, a fawning expression on his face. "Young Master, what should we do next?"
"We've completely fallen out with our family now. My father might not know I'm alive, but he'll definitely try to deal with you. We have to be prepared."
A smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face. "There's only so long one can catch a thief, but no amount of time to guard against one. I don't like passive defense. Since your Xu family wants to relentlessly pursue me, there's no need to keep them around."
"Let's go. You lead the way. We'll go straight to the Xu family. I'm also especially curious about what benefits your patriarch gained after joining the Tian Luo Di Wang."
Hearing this, Young Master Xu's face turned extremely grim. He never expected Lin Xiaotian to be so confrontational.
A hint of panic flickered across his face. "Young Master, please don't act rashly. It could lead to very serious trouble. If we go to the family and encounter our true experts, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "I'm looking for those experts. If they aren't experts, I'll be disappointed."
"If you don't want to go, you can stay here. However, the position of Xu family patriarch will be out of your reach. I intend to capture everyone from the school in one fell swoop."
"Do you understand what I mean now?"
Young Master Xu's heart trembled. Disbelief flickered in his eyes as he instinctively asked, "Young Master, are it just the two of us going to the Xu family? Do we need to find some help?"
"Even a fierce tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves."
Lin Xiaotian's smile widened. He hadn't realized before that this Young Master Xu was so cowardly.
However, such people were easier to control.
He said with a grin, "When you return to the Xu family, you'll understand the methods I'll use. Follow me!"
"Once we get there, I will definitely make you the new patriarch. However, there's something you need to understand: once you become the new patriarch, you'll essentially become a knife in my hand. And at that time, I will need to place some shackles on you."
"You should understand what those shackles represent. They might bind you to me for a lifetime. I'll give you a chance to choose. If you're willing, you can agree now. If you're not willing, I don't mind choosing someone else."
"But don't worry, I definitely won't send you directly to hell, as you haven't committed any major mistakes."
Hearing this, Young Master Xu understood that he was being threatened.
Yet, he was helpless. Lin Xiaotian's strength made it easy for him to deal with Young Master Xu. He had already witnessed Lin Xiaotian's power, but even the most powerful could not withstand a pack of wolves.
He felt that his life might be coming to an end. If his father knew he was alive and had allied with Lin Xiaotian, he would probably flay him alive.
Fear and helplessness showed on his face. He secretly glanced at Lin Xiaotian's retreating back, his desire to escape completely extinguished.
He had completely given up. He figured that the moment he left, Lin Xiaotian might just slap him to death.
Young Master Xu drove as if he were going to his death, while Lin Xiaotian sat in the passenger seat, his eyes closed, resting.
He was pondering some issues, especially the Xu family's involvement with the Tian Luo Di Wang.
"Have you ever heard of Tian Luo Di Wang?" Lin Xiaotian suddenly asked.
Young Master Xu shook his head. "I've never heard of that name. It's possible my father didn't want me to know about such things, so no one in our family is aware."
"Young Master, can you tell me what this Tian Luo Di Wang is?"
He felt that even if he were to die, he should at least die with some understanding.
Lin Xiaotian saw that he probably wouldn't be able to extract any useful information and said indifferently, "It's better that you don't know some things. Knowing too much will only lead to a quicker death."
For the rest of the journey, Lin Xiaotian ignored Young Master Xu and silently circulated the cultivation techniques within his body.
After about two hours, the car stopped at the entrance of the Xu family. Young Master Xu's face was filled with a sense of helplessness and sorrow. He was thinking if Lin Xiaotian were to get into trouble, should he immediately distance himself from Lin Xiaotian?
As he was contemplating these matters, Lin Xiaotian walked over and kicked the Xu family's main gate fiercely.
"Bang!"
With a tremendous sound, the heavy wooden door was kicked flying backward by Lin Xiaotian. It shattered into pieces upon hitting the ground.
The noise attracted a lot of attention. All eyes turned towards Lin Xiaotian. When the Xu family members saw their main gate being kicked in, their faces contorted.
"Kid, where did you come from?"
"How dare you kick our family's gate? You must be looking for death!"
The one speaking was a thin man. As he stepped forward, his eyes were cold and a menacing aura emanated from him.
The next moment, Lin Xiaotian moved like lightning, appearing directly in front of the thin man and delivering a slap.
The thin man intended to dodge, but he hadn't expected Lin Xiaotian's speed to be so fast that he couldn't react. The slap landed heavily on his face.
"Slap!"
The crisp sound of the slap was exceptionally loud.
The man was sent flying backward, landing on the ground. He felt as if his head had been struck by a thousand-pound hammer, leaving him dizzy and unable to get up.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "I'm not just here to break down your gate today; I'm also here to break the bones of your Xu family's experts. Someone like you is simply rushing to your death."
"Is there anyone else who wants to die?"
"Who's next?"
Hearing this, the faces of those present showed a hint of fear. They had already realized that this person's strength was extraordinary, and they were no match for him.
Anyone who charged forward would truly be seeking death.
"So cowardly?" Lin Xiaotian looked at the crowd with a playful, mocking expression. "Since you're afraid to act, then go and call out all the experts from your family!"
"I have another matter to attend to here at your Xu family today."
