The Huangfu family was furious! They swore they would not rest until Lin Yuan was killed!

The Huangfu Family, Meeting Hall.

The atmosphere was as oppressive as the dead silence before a storm.

"Bang!"

A fine purple clay teacup was crushed into powder by a large hand covered in bulging veins!

"Trash! Absolute trash!"

The hook-nosed old man, who was the Third Elder who had strongly advocated sending Huangfu Zhuo to provoke them, was shaking with rage, his old face turning the color of pig liver.

Before him, Huangfu Zhuo was kneeling on the ground like a dead dog, trembling uncontrollably like a sieve, his eyes vacant, and a trace of dried blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

His Dao Heart had been crushed by a single glance from Lin Yuan; he was already a broken man.

"Third Elder, please calm your anger."

From the head seat, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance who looked like a schoolteacher, but whose eyes flickered with faint thunder as they opened and closed, spoke slowly.

He was the current head of the Huangfu Family, Huangfu Xiong.

"This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Zhuo'er."

Huangfu Xiong's voice was very calm.

But beneath that calm was a chilling Killing Intent capable of freezing the Soul. "To be able to make Zhuo'er, at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Eighth Level, suffer a collapsed Dao Heart and damaged Meridians with just a look... this Lin Yuan is far more terrifying than we imagined!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop a few more degrees.

"Family Head!"

The Third Elder suddenly stood up.

His eyes were bloodshot, looking like a crazed tiger. "This boy absolutely cannot be left alive! If he dares to humiliate my Huangfu Family like this today, he will dare to step on the bones of our Huangfu Family tomorrow!"

"The more of a Prodigy he is, the more we must use any means necessary to completely eradicate him before he grows up! Otherwise, he will certainly become a major threat to our clan in the future!"

"That's right! He must be killed!"

"Please give the order, Family Head. We are willing to form a certain-kill formation and infiltrate Songzhou to take that brat's head!"

Inside the hall, indignation boiled over, and Killing Intent soared to the heavens.

When had their Huangfu Family ever suffered such a great humiliation?

To be attacked at their doorstep and have their faces stepped on in humiliation, yet the people of their Huangfu Family didn't even have the qualification to fight back!

If they swallowed this insult, how could they ever hold their heads high in Dragon Xia Kingdom again?

However, facing the Elders' requests for battle, Huangfu Xiong only shook his head gently.

He looked up, his gaze sweeping over the agitated crowd, and asked calmly, "How do we kill him?"

With one sentence, the entire hall instantly fell silent.

Yes, how to kill him?

An Elder frowned and said in a heavy voice, "That kid is either staying at the Dragon Summer Country Capital Martial Arts Academy, where countless experts reside, making it a veritable dragon's den, or he's hiding in the Lin Family Manor, a place with defenses even more formidable than the military fortresses of the Northern Border!"

"He doesn't come out at all! It's just a straight line between two points. We... we simply can't find an opportunity to strike!"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.

Indeed, Lin Yuan was like a hedgehog curled up in a shell. Even if they had ten thousand methods, they had nowhere to start.

Could it be that they were destined to just swallow this bitter pill?

Looking at everyone's stifled and unwilling expressions, the corners of Huangfu Xiong's mouth slowly curled into a cold and cruel arc.

"Who says we don't have an opportunity?"

He stood up unhurriedly, walked to the center of the hall, and swept his eyes over the crowd with a deep gaze.

"Rest assured, an opportunity... will always present itself."

"Before that, what we need to do is prepare."

"Prepare?" the Third Elder asked in confusion.

"Yes, prepare." A cunning light like that of an old fox flickered in Huangfu Xiong's eyes. "Prepare a blade that is sharp enough and obedient enough."

He paused, seemingly enjoying the confused expressions of the crowd, before slowly spitting out a name.

"Doesn't that Ye Xuan... have a blood feud with Lin Yuan?"

"I watched his performance in the National League; he's a decent seed. Ruthless enough, crazy enough, and stupid enough."

"Most importantly, he desperately craves power, craves to defeat Lin Yuan with his own hands."

Huangfu Xiong's voice was full of seductive magic.

"An enemy, no matter how weak, can become the most lethal weapon in our hands if used properly."

"We can start with him..."

"The Family Head means..."

The Third Elder's eyes instantly lit up.

"Exactly."

Huangfu Xiong nodded, the smile on his face becoming increasingly grim.

"Send someone to contact him. Give him resources, give him Cultivation Techniques, give him everything our Huangfu Family can provide!"

"We will feed and raise him into the most ferocious, most crazed vicious dog! Let him bite, let him tear, let him constantly create trouble for Lin Yuan!"

"Let these two dogs tear each other apart first."

"And we only need to hide in the shadows and quietly enjoy this good show."

"Wait until they are both wounded, wait until the most suitable moment appears..."

Huangfu Xiong did not continue, but that unhidden, sharp Killing Intent already explained everything.

Brilliant!

Truly brilliant!

All the Elders in the hall looked at the Family Head with eyes full of awe and admiration.

Killing with a borrowed knife! Driving the tiger to swallow the wolf!

Without lifting a finger, they could make two mortal enemies exhaust each other, while they could sit back and reap the benefits!

This kind of scheme was simply flawless!

"Pass down my order!"

Huangfu Xiong sat back in the head seat and issued the command in a cold voice.

"Immediately send our top hidden agents in Songzhou to the venue of the National League."

"Find that Ye Xuan and tell him..."

"Our Huangfu Family can grant him... power that can rival the gods!"
