1081 Confronting the Lin Family

Within minutes of the Silent Rippers showing up in the courtyard, Yuan had already killed half of them.

His movements were extremely fluid and decisive, and every single time he brandished his arm, one or more assassins would perish.

"T-This guy is a monster!"

"Leader, what should we do?! At this rate, he will completely obliterate us!"

The assassins turned to Zhan Shichai for help.

"He won't be able to keep that up forever! He must be using a tremendous amount of spiritual energy! It will only be a matter of time before his weakness shows! Keep pushing!" Zhan Shichai commanded as he tried to attack Yuan, but he couldn't even catch Yuan's shadow, much less reach him.

In the end, none of the assassins were able to harm Yuan.

"Hey, you're the only one left now." Yuan spoke as he looked at Zhan Shichai with a calm gaze.

Zhan Shichai, who was kneeling on the floor with a missing arm and multiple wounds on his body gritted his teeth in frustration, his gaze at Yuan filled with killing intent, yet he could not do anything about it.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get this over with. Kill me already." Zhan Shichai had already given up all hopes of surviving this ordeal.

Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking, "No, I won't kill you."

"W-What?! Why not?!"

A voice that wasn't Zhan Shichai's voice suddenly resounded.

Yuan turned to look at Tian Yanyu, who had come out of hiding and was approaching them.

"Why won't you kill him? He's the leader of the Silent Rippers!"

"Because I still have some use for him," he said.

And he continued, "I'll give you a chance to live. Go report yourself to the authorities and let them know about your mission and how the Lin Family had hired you to kill me."

"You can go fuck yourself. I'd rather kill myself than to to give myself up." Zhan Shichai laughed out loud.

"Is that so?"

Yuan then turned to look at Tian Yanyu and asked, "Do you want to visit the Lin Family with me? You can stay here if you'd like."

"W-What do you mean by that? Are you going to the Lin Family right now?" Tian Yanyu's eyes widened with shock.

"That's right. If he's not going to give himself up, I will do it myself."

When Zhan Shichai heard Yuan's words, he immediately tried to explode his Dantian.

[Heaven Sealing Technique]

Yuan noticed this and sealed his cultivation before he could do anything.

"W-What did you just do to me?!" Zhan Shichai roared.

"I sealed your cultivation so you can't do anything stupid."

Hearing this, Zhan Shichai tried to bite his tongue off next.

However, when he opened his mouth, he found out that he couldn't close it back, almost as though there was something holding onto his mouth.

"Give it up. You won't die unless I let you." Yuan said.

He turned to look at the dumbfounded Tian Yanyu and asked again, "So? Are you coming?"

She quickly snapped out of her daze and nodded with a solemn expression on her face.

"Let go." Yuan grabbed Zhan Shichai by the neck before flying out of the resilience with Tian Yanyu.

Meanwhile, Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua entered his body with Lan Yingying staying behind just in case there were any more assassins.

"Bring me to the Lin Family." Yuan said to Tian Yanyu.

"Follow me."

It was at this moment a notification appeared before Yuan.

<Congratulations! You have subdued the Silent Rippers!>

[Faction Rank: Captain]

Sometime later, Yuan and Tian Yanyu arrived at the Lin Family's main household.

They descended in front of their front gates and said to the guards, "Bring your Patriarch out here. I have some questions for him."

"Who the hell are you? This isn't a place for children like you." The guards there immediately frowned.

"Scram before we make you."

Yuan lifted Zhan Shichai into the air and held him before the guards, and he spoke in a cold voice, "Your Lin Family hired assassinations to kill me. If you don't bring out your Patriarch, I will have to force him out."

"What?!" The guards exclaimed after hearing his claims.

"Outragous! Why would the Lin Family assassinate you?!"

"That's some serious accusations, boy! If you value your life, keep your mouth shut!"

Yuan sighed before speaking, "I will ask you again. Are you going to get your patriarch or not?"

"Piss off!" The guard roared.

"Is that so?" A cold look appeared on Yuan's face.

He turned to look at Tian Yanyu and handed Zhan Shichai to her, "Stay back and watch over him for me."

"What are you going to do?" She had a bad feeling about this.

"Nothing much." He said with a smile.

After hanging Zhan Shichai to Tian Yanyu, Yuan turned to focus on the gates, and the next moment—

BOOM!

Yuan kicked down the entire gate, shocking the guards there.

"Y-You crazy bastard!"

"Intruder! Seize him!"

When the pedestrians there saw the scene, they stopped whatever they were doing to spectate.

"Who is this crazy bastard?! He dares to kick down the Lin Family's front gates?!"

"Heavens! He's even beating the guards down!"

More and more guards showed up to confront Yuan, but they were all beaten within seconds.

Eventually, the real experts showed up with their Spirit King aura filling the place.

"Halt! What do you think you are doing?! Identify yourself!"

Four Spirit Kings surrounded Yuan.

"My name is Xiao Yang, and I am here to speak with the Lin Family's patriarch." Yuan said, and he pointed at Tian Yanyu and Zhan Shichai and continued, "That half-dead man is the leader of the Silent Rippers, and he told me that the Lin Family had hired them to assassinate me. I am here to demand an answer from the Lin Family!"

Yuan spoke in a loud and clear voice so that everyone from one end of the street to the other could hear him.
