198: Chapter 198 The Four Great Families Question and Force a Fourth-Level Profound Technique Expert to Kneel

The Wan Family battleship stopped above the Wan Family Pill Exchange, and everyone descended to the ground.

At this moment, over a hundred people had already gathered in the backyard of the Wan Family Pill Exchange, all glaring at the few people who had just landed.

When the crowd saw that only Steward Wang, the Wan Family guards, Lin Yuan, and Wan Feiyu had landed, a commotion immediately broke out.

"May I ask, Young Master Wan, why our Xiao Family's heir, Xiao Hundan, did not return with you after going to the Wasteland Star?" one person immediately stepped forward and questioned coldly.

Hearing this, Wan Feiyu's face instantly darkened.

"Are you questioning me? Who gave you the nerve?! Hmph!! Don't think the Xiao Family is so great. Without my Wan Family, your Xiao Family is nothing!"

"You!..." The man was immediately speechless. He quickly adjusted his tone and continued:

"Young Master Wan, I didn't mean it like that. But our Xiao Family's heir hasn't returned; you have to give us an explanation, don't you? Are you really going to use your power to suppress our Xiao Family?"

"That bastard Xiao Hundan was not only a cowardly wretch but also brought a lot of trouble to this young master. He even publicly provoked the son of the Yu Family, the number one family in the Starfire Star Alliance, and was killed on the spot by Young Master Yu's bodyguard. Many people saw it; you can go ask around yourselves."

Wan Feiyu explained with a gloomy expression.

The man from the Xiao Family had an uncertain look on his face after hearing that. Finally, he simply pointed at Lin Yuan and said:

"If that's the case, Young Master Wan, we'll set that matter aside for now. But this man must be handed over to our Four Great Families for disposal!"

"In your dreams! The Four Great Families? What grand posturing! Without my Wan Family, what kind of 'Four Great Families' would you be?! Brother Lin is my brother. Moving against Brother Lin is making an enemy of the Wan Family. You'd better weigh your options carefully!"

When Wan Feiyu saw that this group actually wanted to move against Lin Yuan—someone he was trying to curry favor with—he immediately lost his temper.

"Young Master Wan, this person is not from your Wan Family, so why bother protecting him? Just hand him over to us. Not only did he kill our Xiao Family's young master, Xiao Jianren, but he also used explosives outside Tianxing City to ambush our Four Great Families' team, causing us heavy losses. He must die today! Otherwise, our Four Great Families will not let this rest!"

"I'll be damned... You just won't listen to reason, will you? Steward Wang, seize them!"

Wan Feiyu was fuming. As the dignified Young Master Wan, were his words no longer effective? This person from the Xiao Family repeatedly contradicted him; did they really think this business couldn't run without the Xiao Family?

"Wait, Brother Wan. Since these people are coming for me, let me handle it myself."

Just as the Wan Family members were about to move and seize the people from the Four Great Families, Lin Yuan's calm voice rang out.

"Brother Lin, are you sure? There are so many of them; you'll inevitably be at a disadvantage. Let me handle it," Wan Feiyu said in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter. In the face of absolute strength, numbers are useless," Lin Yuan said, scanning the people from the Four Great Families with pride.

"Alright, Brother Lin, as you wish."

Seeing his confidence, Wan Feiyu didn't want to interfere too much. He waved his hand, signaling the Wan Family subordinates to step back, and stood to the side with Steward Wang.

"Little beast, you actually dare to step forward. You killed our Xiao Family's young master and ambushed our Four Great Families' people; today, your death is certain!" the Xiao Family man shouted, pointing at Lin Yuan as he stepped out.

Lin Yuan didn't even look up. He simply raised his right hand slowly. A burst of Spatial Power suddenly erupted, and the man from the Xiao Family uncontrollably appeared in front of Lin Yuan, his neck caught in Lin Yuan's grip.

"So you're the one who's been shouting this whole time? Who gave you the courage?!"

Lin Yuan's face was grim. Without waiting for a reply, he held the man's neck and slammed him violently toward the ground.

Boom!!

The ground instantly cracked, and the Xiao Family man's head was slammed directly into the earth, his life force completely gone.

The sudden turn of events instantly silenced the crowd. This Xiao Family member wasn't particularly strong, but he was still a transcendent at the Mystic Realm First Level. To be slammed to death by Lin Yuan just like that was terrifying.

For a moment, no one on the field dared to speak, all staring at Lin Yuan in fear.

These people from the Four Great Families weren't very strong. In a small city like Tianxing City, those at the third or fourth level were experts among experts, rarely seen.

Lin Yuan's move immediately intimidated the entire crowd.

Just then—

An old man walked out from the crowd, his eyes releasing undisguised killing intent. This person was the Head of the Xiao Family, Xiao Baichi, the father of Xiao Jianren and Xiao Hundan.

As soon as Xiao Baichi appeared, he released his strength as a Mystic Realm Fourth Level expert. His strength was definitely at the top tier in Tianxing City.

"Are you Lin Yuan? Was it you who killed my son, Xiao Jianren?" Xiao Baichi asked coldly.

"Who are you?" Lin Yuan asked.

"I am the Head of the Xiao Family, the father of Xiao Jianren and Xiao Hundan, Xiao Baichi!"

Xiao Baichi had a proud look on his face. As the Head of the Xiao Family—the leader of the Four Great Families—and a Mystic Realm Fourth Level expert, Xiao Baichi indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

"Little Idiot? No wonder your two sons had such arrogant names; it turns out you, their father, have an even more arrogant name," Lin Yuan sneered.

"Presumptuous! Now that you know who I am, why aren't you kneeling and begging for mercy?!"

"Heh... Who do you think you are, making me kneel and beg for mercy? You're really like a toad sneezing—what a big breath you have!" Lin Yuan was actually amused by Xiao Baichi.

"Lin Yuan, how arrogant! Your strength is decent, and the heirs of our Four Great Families lost to you, but the one before you is the Head of the Xiao Family, a genuine Mystic Realm Fourth Level expert. You still dare to speak such wild words?!"

"Exactly! Do you think you're invincible just because you defeated our heirs? You're only at the Mystic Realm Second Level. For the Head of the Xiao Family to kill you is easier than crushing an ant!"

"A wise man submits to circumstances, Lin Yuan. Hurry up and kneel to beg for mercy; perhaps the Head of the Xiao Family will leave your corpse intact!"

...

For a moment, the people from the Four Great Families all spoke up in mockery. With an expert like the Head of the Xiao Family stepping forward, they immediately felt emboldened.

"Well, boy? Still not kneeling?!"

Hearing the crowd's mockery, Xiao Baichi felt even more impressive and looked at Lin Yuan with disdain.

But in the next second—

He discovered to his horror that Lin Yuan's cold face had suddenly appeared right in front of him.

His eyes were crimson as blood, his aura was incredibly intense, and his killing intent struck Xiao Baichi's face like something physical, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

Feeling the terrifying pressure released from Lin Yuan, Xiao Baichi was completely dumbfounded. Was this really the Mystic Realm Second Level? With such a powerful combat power pressure, you're telling me he's at the second level?

At this moment, Lin Yuan's Slaughter Domain was fully active, and the four stars in his dantian shone brightly. He had directly entered his strongest state, excluding divine abilities. The terrifying pressure descended solely upon Xiao Baichi.

Lin Yuan's current combat power had already exceeded 30 cores. How could the pressure be something a mere Mystic Realm Fourth Level like Xiao Baichi could withstand?

Thud!!

Xiao Baichi knelt directly on the ground, cold sweat streaming down his cheeks, his lips trembling incessantly.

In his eyes, the current Lin Yuan was like a god or demon, not someone a mortal like him could contend with.

"Head of the Xiao Family, weren't you telling me to kneel? You certainly knelt quite readily yourself..."
