Chapter 179 The Demise of the Lin Family: Even Their Ancestors Couldn't Sleep
The Lin Family of the Demon Capital, once a Forbidden Ground, had now become a scorched earth.
Last night's "cross-dimensional zero-yuan purchase" saw Jiang Chen not only sweep away the Spirit Medicine and Divine Wood, but due to an outburst of Waking Up Anger, he had also casually plowed that geomantic treasure land a dozen times over with his Divine Sense.
In the current Lin Family, one could not even find a single intact roof beam.
Lin Overthrow Heaven, the Old Ancestor of the Lin Family who had been in seclusion for three thousand years, was currently sitting on a broken stone tablet with disheveled hair, clutching the "Lin Family Secret Key" that no longer showed any reaction, his eyes hollow.
"Jiang Chen... you destroyed my Foundation and stole my Divine Wood. Today, even if this old man has to risk total destruction of his Divine Soul, I will make you, this brat, pay with your life!"
Lin Overthrow Heaven roared, his withered, stick-thin palm slamming into his chest, coughing out a large mouthful of life essence blood.
"Nine Nether Taboo · Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul-Devouring Formation, rise!"
Following his roar, sinister black mist rose from beneath the ruins, with countless vengeful Souls wailing within the fog. This was the Lin Family's final trump card, a suicide-style Formation constructed using the remnant Souls of their ancestors as a guide.
Just then, the sound of uniform footsteps came from the distant street.
Four Grandmasters carrying that purple divine bed appeared slowly on the horizon.
Jiang Chen was still sleeping.
System: 【 Ding! Detected a large amount of spiritual trash gathering ahead. 】
【 System Evaluation: The smell of these remnant Souls is too foul, severely interfering with the fragrance of the Calming Divine Wood. 】
【 host Suggestion: It is recommended to use the "Physical Salvation Method", and by the way... due to the host's incorrect sleeping position on the sedan earlier, current mood index: -50. 】
"Die!" Seeing that Jiang Chen actually dared to come over lying down, Lin Overthrow Heaven completely descended into madness. With a wave of his hands, thousands of black shadows transformed into roaring Dragons, carrying a chill that could tear apart the Soul, rushing toward the divine bed.
All the experts in the Demon Capital held their breath. If this move were used against any other Great Grandmaster, they would have met their end.
Jiang Chen frowned in his dream.
He dreamed that he was preparing to enjoy a fully automatic full-body massage, but the massage chair suddenly short-circuited, and the electric current made his butt go numb.
"Where did this... wild electricity come from..."
Jiang Chen murmured, he did not get up, and he didn't even lift the blanket covering him.
He just stuck out one bare foot, hanging it over the edge of the bed, the already damaged, seemingly unremarkable flip-flop wobbling precariously.
"Clatter." The flip-flop fell to the ground.
Boom—! In that instant, the space of the entire Lin Family ruins seemed to be violently crumpled by an invisible giant hand.
The black Dragon of vengeful Souls filling the sky, the moment it touched the shockwave from the flip-flop hitting the ground, emitted a shrill scream, and then, like a sketch erased by an eraser, dissipated silently and completely.
"No!!!" Lin Overthrow Heaven's eyes were about to pop out, "This is my Lin Family's thousand-year Foundation! How could it be destroyed by a slipper..."
"So noisy." Jiang Chen turned over, the movement so large that it startled Alisa, who was peeling grape skins for him nearby.
Jiang Chen kept his eyes closed, his right hand groping in that pile of wood debris, accurately finding the flip-flop that had just flown off, and then casually swung it.
"Sleepwalking Combat Technique · Have a Flip-Flop!"
This swing had no True Qi fluctuations, but from Lin Overthrow Heaven's perspective, the entire sky had gone dark.
A giant phantom of a flip-flop that covered the sky, carrying a thick "foot odor" and the "pressure of Waking Up Anger," crossed the limits of space and time and slapped directly onto his head.
"Slap!!!" This sound was crisper than all the explosions just now combined.
Lin Overthrow Heaven, this Old Ancestor of three thousand years, was like a flattened cockroach before that flip-flop. His protective Magic Treasure, Great Grandmaster True Qi, and even his proud bones, all vanished into nothingness in that second.
"Pfft—" Lin Overthrow Heaven was slapped dozens of meters deep into the ground, his internal organs crushed into slag. In his blurred consciousness, he heard a sound that left him in absolute despair:
"Snore... snore..."
The devil who had killed his entire family was actually, at the very moment of slapping him to death, emitting a long, rhythmic snore.
Humiliation! Ultimate humiliation!
Lin Overthrow Heaven spat out a mouthful of old blood, his eyes rolled back, and his Dao Heart shattered completely at this moment.
He never dreamed that having dominated for a lifetime, he would end up dying in the sleep inertia of a youth.
【 System: Ding! Successfully harvested Great Grandmaster remnant Soul x1, confiscated the Lin Family's final hidden treasure: five million Top-Grade Spirit Stones. 】
【 System Remark: host, your proficiency in this wave of 'killing in a dream' is getting higher and higher, but regarding the wear and tear fee for this flip-flop, the System suggests you go to the Lin Family underground palace later to make up for it. 】
Jiang Chen smacked his lips, seemingly dreaming of something delicious, his hand naturally sliding onto Mu Qingxue's knee, pinching the rounded curve wrapped in black silk stockings.
Mu Qingxue's delicate body trembled, but she forced herself not to move, only looking coldly at the restless onlookers around them.
"The Lin Family is destroyed." Mu Qingxue's voice was like ice, "Who still has any objections?"
Thousands of experts in the Demon Capital around them simultaneously took a big step back, shaking their heads like rattles.
"No objections! Absolutely no objections!"
"Young Master Jiang killed well! The Lin Family committed many evils, this is retribution!"
"Um... who's free? Quickly help Young Master Jiang fill in the dirt on the ground, don't let it bump him!"
Amidst the rising and falling sounds of flattery, Jiang Chen was still sleeping.
What he didn't know was that the slap he just delivered not only shattered the Lin Family but also shattered the ambitions of all the noble families in the Demon Capital.
"Let's go, to the underground palace." A trace of excitement flashed in Su Qingyue's eyes, "That is where the thing we are looking for is."
The sedan carriers set off again, stepping over the corpse pit of the Lin Family Old Ancestor, steadily drifting toward the entrance of the underground palace.
