A massacre in one night! Yan Jing City is in an uproar! Lin Yuan is the true demon god!

The Liu Family is finished!

Overnight, this top-tier second-rate Family, which had entrenched itself in Yan Capital City for hundreds of years, was uprooted and turned completely into the dust of history.

This news swept through the entire Yan Capital City with overwhelming speed, like a storm!

Countless people, the moment they heard this news, had the same first reaction: disbelief.

What kind of joke is this?!

That is the Liu Family!

The Family Head, Liu Qingtian, is a powerhouse of the Huagang Realm!

Within the clan, there is even the Old Ancestor Liu Xuanchen, one of the two Martial Gods, holding down the fort!

How could such a behemoth simply disappear just like that?!

However.

When they saw the ruins of the Liu Family estate, which had been razed to the ground.

When they heard that the military had completely sealed off all of the Liu Family's assets and had begun arresting the remnants of the Liu Family.

They had no choice but to believe it!

Immediately afterward, one piece of even more explosive and shocking news after another spread wildly through various channels!

"Have you heard?! The Liu Family colluded with the Divine Court and was caught on the spot, with irrefutable evidence!"

"What?! The Divine Court?! Is that the notorious evil organization that everyone wants to destroy?!"

"That's right! It is said that the Liu Family Head, Liu Qingtian, spent thirty percent of the Family's assets to hire top-tier assassins from the Divine Court to assassinate that Young Master Lin Yuan of the Lin Family!"

Hiss—!

As soon as this news came out, everyone gasped!

Crazy!

This Liu Family is truly crazy!

They actually dared to go and assassinate that little ancestor of the Lin Family?!

That is the apple of the eye of the Old God of War Lin Zhan, and the reverse scale of General Lin Jianguo!

Isn't this like an old man hanging himself, tired of living?!

"And then? And then? Did the assassination succeed?!"

Someone asked impatiently.

"Succeed, my ass!"

The well-informed person wore an extremely exaggerated expression, mixed with Fear and admiration, "You simply cannot imagine what happened last night!"

"It is said that those two Meridian Opening Realm assassins from the Divine Court didn't even touch the Lin Family's gate before they were seriously injured on the spot by a barrier casually set up by Young Master Lin Yuan!"

"Then, Young Master Lin Yuan rode solo and stormed the Liu Family!"

"One kick! Just one kick! And he trampled hundreds of the Liu Family's elites into blood mist!"

"Liu Qingtian, in the Huagang Realm, fought to the death, but he couldn't even break Young Master Lin Yuan's defense! He was crippled in one move!"

Boom!!!

The crowd completely exploded!

Everyone who heard these words felt their scalp tingling!

One kick, trampling hundreds of elites to death?!

One move, crippling a Huagang Realm powerhouse?!

This...

Is this something a human being can do?!

That legendary eldest young master of the Lin Family, who only surfed the internet or laid around sunbathing, is actually terrifying to this extent?!

"That's not even the scariest part!" The man swallowed, his voice trembling, "The scariest part is that the Liu Family's Old Ancestor, the Martial God Liu Xuanchen, rushed back from the Southern Frontier!"

"And then?! Did the two Martial Gods fight?!"

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

"Fight, my ass!" The man slapped his thigh, "The Lin Family's Old God of War, Lin Zhan, also appeared! The two Martial Gods confronted each other in the sky; that scene was world-shattering!"

"But what was the result? When Young Master Lin Yuan brought out the ironclad evidence of the Liu Family colluding with the Divine Court, Martial God Liu Xuanchen didn't even dare to fart; he just slunk away in shame!"

"Throughout the whole process, Young Master Lin Yuan just stood there from beginning to end, calm and unruffled!"

"That demeanor, that might! It was simply like a god descending to earth!"

Dead silence!

The entire teahouse fell into a dead silence!

Everyone's faces were left with only endless, bone-deep shock and awe!

They finally understood.

The sky of Yan Capital City has not changed.

Rather, from beginning to end, there has only ever been one sky!

And that is the Lin Family!

And the name Lin Yuan, as of today, has completely replaced Lin Zhan and Lin Jianguo, becoming the most untouchable, taboo existence in all of Yan Capital City!

...

For a time, the entire upper society of Yan Capital City was in an uproar.

Countless families and Sects fell into unprecedented, immense panic.

Especially those families that were previously close to the Liu Family, or had even secretly contributed to the "Slaughter Yuan Alliance" matter.

They were even more terrified, their souls flying away and spirits scattering!

"Quick! Quick, quick, quick!"

"Get me that thousand-year-old blood ginseng from the warehouse!"

"Prepare the car! I want to go to the Lin Family immediately! I will offer a humble apology!"

"Family Head! Our Li Family previously funded the Liu Family with a large sum of money! Will the Lin Family let us off?"

"Whether they let us off or not, we have to go! If we don't go, we are truly dead!"

...

A similar scene played out repeatedly within various wealthy and powerful clans in Yan Capital City.

Countless Family heads and Elders were like ants on a hot pan, restless and uneasy.

They frantically scoured their homes for rare treasures.

Then, with the most humble and fearful feelings, they swarmed toward the direction of the Lin Family estate.

They were going to apologize!

They were going to beg for mercy!

They were going to express their highest respect and loyalty to the Lin Family!

In stark contrast to this.

Was the Chen Family.

Inside the meeting hall.

Family Head Chen Tianhao listened to the detailed report brought back by his subordinate regarding the destruction of the Liu Family.

The hand holding his teacup was trembling violently!

But that was not because of Fear!

It was extreme, irrepressible excitement and relief!

"Haha... Hahahaha!"

He stood up abruptly and let out a hearty, unrestrained laugh.

He bet right!

He truly bet right!

His Chen Family, at the most critical moment, chose the most correct side!

"Family Head is wise!"

"Yes! It is fortunate that we connected with the Lin Family ahead of time; otherwise, the fate of our Chen Family now would probably be no better than the Liu Family's!"

The Elders in the hall were also all flushed with excitement, feeling lingering Fear.

The looks they directed at Chen Tianhao were full of endless admiration.

Back then, when the Family Head decided to offer the "Star Ore Vein" as a token of allegiance, they had tried to obstruct him in every way.

Now it seems, how shortsighted they were!

Compared to the life and death of the entire Family, what is a mere ore vein?!

"From today on, our Chen Family will follow the Lin Family's lead in everything!"

"Pass on my order! From now on, all of our Chen Family's Artifact Refining resources will be supplied to the Lin Family first! Regardless of cost! Without asking for reasons!"

Chen Tianhao slapped the table, his voice resolute and decisive.

"Yes!"

The entire Yan Capital City had completely changed because of Lin Yuan!

...

Inside the Artifact Refining Room.

Chen Ruoxi also learned the news.

That beautiful and peerless face was filled with disbelief and shock!

Lin Yuan...

He alone wiped out the entire Liu Family?!

One kick, trampled hundreds of Liu Family elites to death?!

One move, crippled the Huagang Realm Liu Qingtian?!

Even the Liu Family's Martial God Old Ancestor could only retreat in defeat before him?!

This...

Chen Ruoxi felt her heart pounding wildly!

She knew Lin Yuan was strong!

She knew Lin Yuan's Artifact Refining skills had already reached the level of a god!

But she never imagined.

Lin Yuan's martial arts strength was actually terrifying to such an inconceivable degree, enough to subvert the imagination of the world!

That is the Liu Family!

It is a behemoth capable of standing toe-to-toe with the Lin Family!

Just like that... gone?

"Ruo Xi! My good daughter!" Chen Tianhao was so excited his face was flushed red, "The most correct decision Dad has ever made in his life was listening to you and joining the Lin Family!"

"You don't know! Outside right now, those families that used to oppose our Chen Family are all scared out of their wits, preparing heavy gifts overnight, wanting to come to our Chen Family to apologize and beg for mercy!"

"Our Chen Family, this time, is truly going to soar!"

Chen Ruoxi didn't take in much of Chen Tianhao's ecstasy.

In her mind, there was only one thought.

So...

Is this his true self?

That young man who was always lazy, seemingly uninterested in anything.

Inside him, actually hid a primeval Vicious Beast capable of devouring the heavens and the earth!

If he doesn't make a sound, he stays silent; if he does, he astonishes everyone!

If he doesn't act, he stays still; if he does, it is with the force of thunder and earth-shattering power!

For some reason.

Chen Ruoxi not only didn't feel afraid.

Instead, an unprecedented, bone-deep sense of security, and an inexplicable feeling of admiration that made her blush and her heart race, grew wildly in her heart.

This is a real man!

Domineering!

Invincible!

He can control the life and death of all living beings, and can cut through the sorrows of the ages!

In those beautiful eyes, an unprecedented, brilliant light instantly ignited.

No!

I cannot remain this slack any longer!

His world is the star-filled sea above the Nine Heavens!

And if I cannot keep up with his pace.

I can only be left behind by him forever, looking up at his back!

...

The Gu Family.

Gu Ningxue sat quietly by the window.

In her hand, she held a cup of tea that had long since gone cold.

Her pretty face was deathly pale, without a trace of blood.

In those eyes that were originally lively and intelligent.

At this moment, they were full of bewilderment, and... Fear!

In her mind, the news she had just heard, which was enough to subvert her entire worldview, was still echoing wildly!

The Liu Family... gone?

Wiped out by Lin Yuan, alone?

How is this possible?!

How is this possible!!!

How can this guy Lin Yuan subvert my worldview every single time?!
