52: The Sun family was wiped out, and great gains were made

Lin Father and Lin Mother looked complicated and did not respond.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan stopped elaborating and changed the subject, saying, "Clan Leader Deng, Sun Hu is dead. How do you think the Sun Family should be dealt with?"

Upon this topic, Deng Xuan revealed a cold and stern expression: "Of course, we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving no one behind!"

Since the Sun Family Family Head was gone, there was no need for the Sun Family to exist. If a few clan members were allowed to escape due to soft-heartedness, they would inevitably become a potential threat.

Lin Yuan understood this principle. After all, in his previous life, he had read many Xuanhuan novels, many of which featured protagonists whose entire Family was wiped out at the beginning, with only they themselves fortunately escaping, only to return later for a counterattack after growing strong.

He had to prevent such a situation.

Even if it meant killing many innocent people, he would not hesitate.

"Good, as Clan Leader Deng said, we will join forces this time and wipe out the Sun Family!"

Lin Yuan decided.

Deng Xuan, however, frowned again: "It's easy for us to say, but Luoxiao City, as an affiliated city of the Cloud Ripple Sect, must still abide by the Sect's laws."

"Does the Clan Leader mean that the Cloud Ripple Sect forbids forces from initiating extermination wars?"

"Yes, after all, such an act is inhumane, and everyone is considered a dog of the Cloud Ripple Sect. The Sect naturally doesn't want its own dogs to fight to the death among themselves."

These words made Lin Yuan nod slightly: "The Clan Leader makes sense. Then this matter seems truly difficult to handle."

While troubled, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Does the Clan Leader know if there are any forces within the Sect's territory that have carried out acts of extermination without being punished by the Sect?"

Deng Xuan replied: "Yes, the Cloud Ripple Sect's territory is so vast that there are tens of thousands of Families like the Sun Family. Many Families perish every day, and new ones take their place. As for the Sect's punishment, as long as you have a little bit of connections, you can easily settle it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan finally relaxed and smiled brightly: "We no longer need to fear the Sect's rules. Let's go directly and act."

Deng Xuan asked in confusion: "What does Young Master mean by this? Do you have confidence in circumventing the Sect's punishment?"

Taking out a token directly from his In arms, Lin Yuan's lips curved slightly: "May I ask the Clan Leader, with this identity of mine, can I resolve the trouble?"

Looking at the 'Liu' character token in front of him, Deng Xuan's eyebrows twitched wildly, and he said in disbelief: "Liu Family Guest Elder Token! You are actually a Liu Family Guest Elder!?"

The Liu Family, that was a ceiling-level major Family within the Cloud Ripple Sect's territory.

Not to mention the Cultivation of the Liu Family members, just the powerful strength of the Family's Old Ancestor in the Dao Platform Realm was enough to make most forces submit.

This was truly a force that could be called a prestigious Family, far from what the Sun and Liu Families could compare to.

And a Liu Family Guest Elder was not someone just anyone could be; one needed to receive an invitation from an elder with deep seniority within the Liu Family to be qualified to serve.

Therefore, the status of this identity could be said to be quite noble.

Deng Rui and Deng Fuxi had also heard of the Liu Family's renown, and at this moment, their gazes towards Lin Yuan were filled with admiration and respect.

Although Lin Father, Lin Mother, and Ye Linger had not heard of the Liu Family, seeing the Deng Family's reaction, they could somewhat guess how powerful this Liu Family was.

So Lin Yuan had such an identity? That's truly remarkable!

Both elders couldn't help but feel proud of their son.

Seeing Deng Xuan's surprised look, Lin Yuan asked again: "Clan Leader Deng, with the Liu Family's influence, isn't it enough to avoid punishment?"

"Enough, enough! Of course, it's completely enough!"

Deng Xuan nodded like pounding garlic, then added: "With Young Master's identity, let alone you exterminating the Sun Family, even if you flatten the Luoxiao City Lord's Mansion, the Sect's Foreign Affairs Hall would surely not dare to utter a single peep!"

Lin Yuan smiled lightly: "Clan Leader, you exaggerate. I wouldn't go so far as to target the City Lord's Mansion. I just need to eliminate the Sun Family. Let's prepare to depart now."

"Good! I will immediately go and gather the Deng Family members. This time, we will launch a full-scale attack and encirclement, absolutely not letting any Sun Family member escape!"

Soon, the extermination operation against the Sun Family was vigorously launched.

An hour later.

"Reporting to the Clan Leader, all one hundred and sixty-four members of the Sun Family, including direct and collateral lines, and all branch clan members, have been completely slain by us. The bodies have been counted, and not a single living person remains."

In the Sun Family's main hall, filled with corpses, Deng Xuan listened to the clan member's report and said with satisfaction: "Very good, you all did well. After I finish counting the Sun Family's resources, I will personally hold a commendation ceremony to reward you."

The clan member immediately said joyfully: "Thank you for the Clan Leader's grace!"

"Hmm, alright, you may go down first."

Waving his hand casually to dismiss the clan member, Deng Xuan turned to Lin Yuan, his face beaming with joy: "Young Master, we achieved a great victory in this battle. The Sun Family was almost annihilated without any resistance. All the treasures remaining in the Family were also plundered by us and are all contained in this Storage Pouch. Please take a look, Young Master."

Receiving the Storage Pouch from the other party, Lin Yuan released his spiritual sense to investigate and found that it contained over twenty thousand Yuan Stones, one Low Grade Yellow Rank Cultivation Technique, several Low Grade Yellow Rank Martial Skills, hundreds of Low Grade Medicinal Pills, dozens of Low Grade Talismans, several ordinary quality one-pattern Spiritual Artifacts, and a few medicinal herbs used for Alchemy.

This quantity of Yuan Stones and various resources made Lin Yuan's breathing quicken.

Twenty thousand Yuan Stones!

There were actually twenty thousand Yuan Stones!

With such a huge sum, he no longer had to worry about Yuan Stones for Cultivation.

In addition, those Martial Skills, Cultivation Techniques, medicinal herbs, Medicinal Pills, Talismans, and Spiritual Artifacts, if cashed out, would also be a considerable income.

He really struck it rich this time!

Amidst his excitement, he quickly calmed down and thought: "Clan Leader Deng, although I contributed to the extermination of the Sun Family this time, you also made great contributions. So, you should take a portion of the items in the Storage Pouch as well."

Upon hearing this, Deng Xuan was flattered and repeatedly shook his head: "Young Master is joking. The reason we were able to annihilate the Sun Family so smoothly this time is entirely because you killed Sun Hu, which caused the Sun Family members to become leaderless and collapse in an instant. The greatest credit belongs to you, and the spoils of war should naturally all go to you. How dare we covet ill-gotten gains?"

He knew very well that without Lin Yuan, the Deng Family would probably have been exterminated by Sun Hu, and they wouldn't be in their current victorious state.

Therefore, the other party was the Deng Family's savior, and he naturally dared not covet the savior's wealth.

Lin Yuan also understood this, but since the Deng Family had also contributed to this encirclement, if he didn't show any appreciation, he would feel a bit uneasy. So he decided: "Merit should be rewarded. You indeed made contributions this time, and I should naturally give you rewards. Please accept these Yuan Stones, Clan Leader."
