"Patriarch Lin, you don't need to be so polite."
"Lin Bai is a disciple of my Azure Cloud Sect, and even my personal disciple, so we are all family."
"Oh right, that Wang family, was it? When Wang Tian was killed, this sect already declared that the Wang family had no need to exist."
"Now we've let them jump around for two more days, it's time to make good on that promise."
Feng Qingyang's words directly shocked everyone in the Lin family.
The dignified top-tier power, the Wang family, had their death sentence decided by this young man's casual remark?
Just what kind of power was the Azure Cloud Sect! Could it be a hegemonic force?
"Sect Leader Feng, the Wang family has joined forces with the Bai family, and they have a full four True Realm experts. It would be safer to consider this matter carefully."
Their Lin family only had two True Realm experts. The Wang and Bai families also had two each. The three major families jointly controlled Sky Martial City, maintaining a balance of power. They didn't know what the Wang family had promised the Bai family for them to actually join forces.
"Yes, yes, Sect Leader Feng, the Wang family is extremely cunning. We have suffered losses at their hands before."
"Father, there's no need to worry. My Azure Cloud Sect has countless experts. A mere Wang family dares to show off their limited skills before us."
Having seen the wider world, Lin Bai was much calmer.
"My disciple is right. A mere Wang family can be destroyed with a flick of a finger."
Seeing how confident this mysterious sect leader was, the Lin family patriarch, Lin Zhan, immediately stood up.
"Since that's the case, I, as the patriarch of the Lin family, hereby order that the entire Lin family is willing to be dispatched by Sect Leader Feng."
"We are willing to be dispatched by Sect Leader Feng!"
Lin Zhan was the first to speak his command, and the elders echoed in agreement.
"There's no need for all of you to take action."
"Ye Bai, take a trip to the Wang family."
Feng Qingyang casually snapped his fingers and then instructed the air above.
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
A middle-aged man's voice came from above, without revealing the slightest bit of aura.
Lin Zhan looked in shock at Feng Qingyang, who was sitting below leisurely drinking tea, but his eyes were now filled with awe!
"Just what kind of great power is Bai'er's master!"
His own cultivation was in the mid-stage of the True Realm, yet he hadn't sensed anyone hidden in the shadows at all, indicating that the person's cultivation was far above his!
Could it be... the Shattering Void Realm!
And the fact that such a powerful cultivator had to obey the other party's commands showed just how terrifying he was!
A moment later.
The Wang family.
The Wang family's main hall was also full of people.
"Patriarch Wang, you agreed that after the Lin family is destroyed, all their resources will belong to our Bai family."
"That's right, Patriarch Bai. As long as we can destroy the Lin family, everything will be yours."
"That hateful Lin family actually dared to kill Tian'er! I wish I could eat their flesh and sleep on their skin!"
Wang Tian was his only son, and Wang Tian's talent was outstanding among his peers. He had even personally boasted:
My son Wang Tian has the potential of a Great Emperor!
"Patriarch Bai, our last attack caused heavy losses to the Lin family. As long as our two families go all out this time, the Lin family will definitely be annihilated."
In the Wang family's main hall, the Wang family patriarch and the Bai family patriarch were discussing the specific details of destroying the Lin family, unaware that their death was imminent.
"Everyone in the Wang family, get out here and accept your death!"
A loud voice came from above the Wang family residence.
"Who! Who dares to be so arrogant!"
"Who is that suicidal fool daring to act wildly in my Wang family's territory!"
The disciples of the Wang family were immediately furious. It was always them bullying others; how could anyone dare to bully them?
In the past, any problems they couldn't handle in the city were solved with a simple word.
"My father is Wang Erhe!"
The Wang family patriarch and the elders in the main hall were also furious. They filed out to see just who was so fearless as to cause trouble in the Wang family.
As soon as they came out, they saw Ye Bai in the air.
"Which unknown nobody dares to seek death!"
The Wang family patriarch, already filled with pent-up anger, was enraged to see that someone dared to act wildly in their territory all alone. He immediately attacked.
The terrifying cultivation of the Shattering Void Realm peak stirred up the wind and clouds, causing the colors of the sky to change.
Some Wang family members with lower cultivation were instantly crushed to death by this powerful aura.
The Wang family patriarch and the elders also fared poorly, unable to move under the pressure of the aura.
"Patriarch Wang, when did you offend such a powerful figure? If you want to die, don't drag my Bai family down with you!"
A member of the Bai family exclaimed in terror!
"Esteemed Sir, I don't remember ever offending you. Why are you attacking my Wang family?"
The Wang family patriarch said stammeringly, his face pale.
"You offended someone you couldn't afford to offend," Ye Bai said coldly, thinking it wouldn't be bad for them to die knowing why.
Upon hearing this, a member of the Bai family immediately said, "Wait a moment, Senior! It was this damned Wang family who offended you. We are from the Bai family. Can you please spare us? I am willing to offer all our family's wealth to you."
"Oh? From the Bai family?"
"Excellent! A two-for-one deal! Saves me another trip."
As soon as his voice fell,
A terrifying giant hand descended from the sky, and immense pressure crushed down!
Boom!
The Wang family's residence was directly flattened into the ground.
Very quickly!
The news of the Wang family's annihilation spread throughout the city in no time.
"Did you hear? The top-tier Wang family has been destroyed!"
"I just found out. I heard the Wang family offended a mysterious powerhouse, and even the Bai family was implicated. The Bai family patriarch and elders were all killed. Now the Bai family exists in name only!"
Various teahouses and restaurants in Sky Martial City were discussing this matter.
Connecting this to the Wang and Bai families' joint attack on the Lin family, many speculated whether the mysterious powerhouse had been invited by the Lin family.
Not long after, at the Lin family.
In the Lin family's main hall, Feng Qingyang was invited to sit in the seat of honor.
They had received news of the Wang family's destruction at the first moment and were all shocked by the Azure Cloud Sect's terrifying power. Destroying the Wang family with a snap of the fingers – it truly was as easy as flicking a finger!
"Sect Leader Feng, here are all the resources of the Wang and Bai families. Please accept them."
Lin Zhan handed over a spatial ring and said.
Now that the Wang and Bai families had been destroyed, their Lin family was the sole dominant power in Sky Martial City.
Feng Qingyang accepted—it's not like any sect ever had too many resources.
"Oh right, Sect Leader Feng, we have another request."
"Our Lin family is willing to become an affiliated force of the Azure Cloud Sect. We hope Sect Leader will grant our request."
Lin Zhan led all the Lin family elders in bowing respectfully to Feng Qingyang.
Feng Qingyang agreed. This Lin family didn't engage in the infighting and scheming like other families, and they were united. As a top-tier power, they wouldn't lower the Azure Cloud Sect's prestige. Perhaps in the future, when Lin Bai grew stronger, the Lin family might even become an imperial clan.
["Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission, gaining an affiliated force. Sect value increased by one thousand."]
"Huh? There's even a surprise!"
"System, does recruiting any force add sect value?"
["Of course. The system will evaluate the level of the affiliated force and issue the corresponding sect value. However, to prevent the host from exploiting loopholes, forces that are coerced into joining are invalid."]
The system's words interrupted Feng Qingyang's thoughts.
"Ridiculous, would I, a dignified sect leader, coerce others?"
"I mainly focus on enticing them with benefits, okay!"
...
"Patriarch, someone from the Nian family has arrived!"
