Lin Xiaotian's eyes lit up with a brilliant smile. "Very good. You actually have another expert here. Excellent. We can catch them all in one go."
"If I'm not mistaken, the expert you call a master must be a legendary Land Immortal. It's very likely the person who supplied you with the medicinal herbs."
"After going through all this trouble to deal with me, I'm curious about the feud between him and me. If it's just an unending conflict with the Heavenly Net, I can give him a quick end."
"If there are other motives, I won't mind making him wish he were dead."
The Xu family head slowly retreated. The moment Lin Xiaotian made his move, he realized he was no match for him. He had never imagined Lin Xiaotian's strength to be so formidable.
His only option now was to seek help from that expert.
"Lin Xiaotian, don't push your luck. If you truly have the strength, then follow me. I'll make you wish you were dead then."
"As long as I can defeat you, I'll be the true winner."
He had long harbored a deep hatred for Lin Xiaotian, not just for what Lin Xiaotian had done, but more so out of jealousy and envy.
Or rather, he felt envy towards any genius, because his own strength was just one step away from the Land Immortal realm, yet he still needed elixirs to break through.
This was equivalent to cutting off his cultivation path. No matter how hard he tried in the future, his strength would be capped here.
Lin Xiaotian was not in a hurry. He slowly followed the Xu family head to the backyard of the villa. The villa's rear was vast, like an estate, and they directly entered the main hall. Lin Xiaotian saw a man there from afar.
He was about forty years old, with triangular eyes and yellow teeth.
Upon seeing this man, memories of past intel surfaced in his mind, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
He had searched high and low, and unexpectedly found this fellow so easily.
The Xu family head had already explained the situation. The triangular-eyed man sitting there sneered disdainfully, "You're truly a waste, unable to deal with even this person."
"Even if he has broken through to the legendary realm, he's only slightly stronger than you. After all, his age is a factor. He doesn't even have the courage to join forces and attack?"
The triangular-eyed man's eyes were full of contempt. Then, he stood up and walked towards the man.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your surname is Liu, right?"
The triangular-eyed man was slightly taken aback. "How did you know? I haven't told anyone. Even the Xu family head doesn't know my name. Who are you?"
Lin Xiaotian's smile grew even brighter. "Do you remember the trouble you caused me before? This guy has been bothering me repeatedly, always hiding in the shadows where I couldn't find you."
"Now, I've found you without even trying. It's like finding a needle in a haystack."
Hearing this, the triangular-eyed man froze. He finally remembered who Lin Xiaotian was. He had indeed hired people to deal with Lin Xiaotian before, but he had only tested the waters then and hadn't continued because Lin Xiaotian's strength was too great, and his subordinates were no match for him.
Sending more people would just be sending them to their deaths. So, he had shelved the matter.
He just hadn't expected Lin Xiaotian to know some information about him and now, to be standing before him, ready to attack.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "I know your strength is mediocre, but it's okay. I'll go all out. You've been causing me trouble for so long, it would be a disservice not to give you a special surprise."
"Besides, I'm curious how many more people are in your Heavenly Net. Seeing you all now is irritating."
Lin Xiaotian couldn't be bothered to waste any more time with them. He had found the answers he was looking for. The triangular-eyed man and the Xu family head had provided the clues, leading him to the Heavenly Net, and the Xu family head likely knew very little.
He couldn't be bothered to exchange more words with this fellow. With a flash of his body, he appeared directly before the Xu family head.
"I told you earlier that today is the day you step down. If you had obediently retired, perhaps nothing would have happened. At most, I would have crippled you. But now, you're being disobedient, so I'll teach you a small lesson."
After speaking, he gently struck out with his palm. The Xu family head felt the speed was slow, yet he couldn't dodge it at all. His face was filled with extreme terror. He could clearly feel the immense power of the attack as the palm came towards him.
"No..."
He had barely uttered two words when Lin Xiaotian's palm landed on his Dantian Qihai acupoint.
"Bang!"
A loud noise erupted. Before the Xu family head could react, he felt his Dantian explode like a lit dynamite pack, scattering almost instantly.
He slumped to the ground, his face filled with disbelief. He had never imagined he would be so easily crippled. It felt as if someone from a completely different league had dealt with him with just a wave of their hand.
He couldn't accept the blow, shaking his head like a drum, his eyes filled with despair. "Lin Xiaotian, you absolutely cannot have crippled me. You must have used some trick to deceive my senses."
"With your strength, you could have at most injured me, but you couldn't possibly have truly..."
However, before he could finish, Lin Xiaotian kicked him, sending him flying backward.
Many people outside were watching the proceedings, eager to know how powerful Lin Xiaotian was and how formidable the expert their family head had mentioned was.
When they arrived, they saw that Lin Xiaotian defeating the family head was as simple as a father beating his son.
Moreover, the person opposite them was clearly deeply fearful of Lin Xiaotian, his face had changed.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Old Liu, I know you must hold many secrets. We've wasted enough time. Now, tell me honestly. You're no match for me, and you should have felt my strength. Killing you would be effortless."
"Besides, I don't need to kill you directly. I just want to know who else is in your Heavenly Net."
