99: The great revenge has been achieved, the cause and effect have been resolved

At this moment, Cui Hao's heart was also filled with mixed emotions.

Ever since Young Master Lin defeated him a hundred years ago, he had been diligently cultivating.

He himself possessed excellent talent, and coupled with the Cui Family's sole dominance in Yunzhou, resources flowed endlessly.

He only took a hundred years to break through to the Venerable Realm.

Such a cultivation speed was considered monstrous throughout the entire Yan Country, and even the entire human race.

Cui Hao had secretly compared himself to Lin Mu in his heart more than once.

But the stronger he became, the more unfathomable he found Lin Mu to be.

A hundred years later, when he saw Lin Mu again, he was astonished to find that he still couldn't discern Lin Mu's true depth.

At this moment, Cui Hao suddenly recalled the warning his ancestor, Cui Yan, had given him when he first broke through to the Venerable Realm.

"Hao'er, no matter what realm you reach, you must always maintain an attitude of reverence towards Young Master Lin."

At the time, he felt that his ancestor, who was already a Venerable Realm Seventh Heaven expert, was being overly cautious.

Now, he realized that his ancestor had seen things too clearly.

Now that Lin Mu had brought his son-in-law to demand an explanation, Cui Hao was unsure of Lin Mu's true intentions.

Thinking of this, his kneeling posture became even more devout.

The members of the Cui Family saw their patriarch kneel down.

Naturally, they dared not be negligent.

They also disregarded their dignity and all knelt on the ground.

This sudden turn of events left all the guests attending the wedding banquet at a loss for what to do.

Looking at the kneeling Cui Family members.

If they stood still, it would seem too disrespectful.

But to make them kneel as well, they felt somewhat bewildered.

Just as they were in a dilemma.

Lin Mu, standing in the center of the crowd, suddenly spoke indifferently.

"There's no need to be so polite. I'm just here to seek justice for him, Young Master Cui..."

At this, Lin Mu deliberately paused, then said with a smile.

"Oh! No. I should call you Patriarch Cui."

Cui Hao, kneeling on the ground, quickly said, "No, no, no, Young Master can just call me Xiao Hao."

Lin Mu couldn't help but chuckle, "I still prefer your arrogant and unruly self from back then. Please revert to that."

Cui Hao immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Is Young Master Lin bringing up old scores with me?"

Thinking of this, Cui Hao said with a bitter smile, "This junior wouldn't dare. I was young and ignorant back then to offend Young Master. Now I have long since repented."

"Whatever Young Master requests, please command, and this junior will do my best to cooperate."

Lin Mu looked at Cui Hao's submissive expression and lost the desire to continue teasing him.

He said indifferently, "You know the purpose of my visit. Now it's up to you how to handle it."

Cui Hao heard this and said without any hesitation, "A life for a life, it's only right and proper."

"Moreover, this beast even murdered a fellow clan member; he deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces."

Cui Jin, who was kneeling behind Cui Hao, heard this and immediately spoke anxiously.

"Patriarch, no! I only have this one son. If he dies, I won't live either."

Cui Hao was even more enraged upon hearing this.

Earlier, when he had just broken through to the Venerable Realm, he needed to seclude himself to consolidate his realm.

That's why he temporarily handed over the position of patriarch to Cui Jin.

He never expected that he would indulge Cui Ze in causing such a major disaster.

Now, he still couldn't see the situation clearly and actually dared to contradict his decision.

Thinking of this, Cui Hao said in a deep voice, "I had forgotten about you."

"Cui Jin indulged Cui Ze in harming a fellow clan member, making him equally guilty as Cui Ze. Both shall be executed."

"All direct descendants of Cui Jin shall be expelled from the family."

As soon as Cui Hao's words fell, Cui Jin's family immediately wailed, their pleas for mercy incessant.

Cui Jin even said indignantly.

"I refuse to accept this! You're actually turning on your own brother for an outsider!"

"I'm going to report this to the ancestor and have him uphold justice for me."

After Cui Jin finished speaking, he stood up and was about to fly away.

A sharp glint flashed in Cui Hao's eyes.

An invisible sword qi quietly flew out from his sleeve.

In just an instant, it caught up to Cui Jin.

Before Cui Jin could react, he was cut into several pieces by the fierce sword qi.

In an instant, the entire hall was filled with a strong smell of blood.

After killing Cui Jin with one sword, Cui Hao issued another command.

"Someone, take Cui Ze down and execute the Lingchi punishment."

As soon as Cui Hao's words fell, several Men in Black immediately took Cui Ze away.

Just then.

Cui Ze, who had been unconscious, actually woke up.

Seeing himself being held by several members of the Law Enforcement Hall.

He panicked.

As a direct descendant, he knew that no clan member taken by the Law Enforcement Hall ever came to a good end.

He frantically searched the crowd for someone who could save him.

Suddenly, he saw the body on the ground, cut into several pieces.

He was surprised to find a bloody head next to the body.

That head was actually his own father's.

Immediately, a chill enveloped his entire body.

Only at this moment did Cui Ze truly experience the fear of death.

He roared unwillingly.

"Patriarch, spare me this one time, I will never dare again."

However, no matter how much he shouted, it was futile.

Cui Ze's pleas for mercy did not last long.

What followed was a series of tragic wails.

The mournful sounds were like evil spirits from hell.

The rest of the Cui Family members all felt a chill in their hearts.

As for Cui Jin's other family members, at this moment, besides fear, there was more relief.

They were relieved that they were only expelled from the family.

With Cui Hao's next command, they all cooperatively left the Cui Family.

While doing all this, Cui Hao remained kneeling.

Only now did he slowly raise his head and say, "Young Master, do you think this junior's handling was appropriate?"

Lin Mu did not answer, but instead turned to look at Xu Nianzu.

He asked softly, "Are you satisfied?"

Xu Nianzu's face at this moment did not show the joy of revenge.

He wanted revenge, but he never expected his father-in-law to act so ruthlessly.

To preserve the family, anyone could be sacrificed.

He looked at Cui Hao coldly, and said with an icy tone.

"Father-in-law, this is the last time I will call you Father-in-law."

"Let this matter rest here. From now on, I have no further connection with the Cui Family."

Cui Hao was secretly relieved to hear Xu Nianzu say this.

He cared about Lin Mu's attitude.

As for this son-in-law, whether he acknowledged him as a father-in-law was irrelevant.

After Xu Nianzu finished speaking, he didn't care what Cui Hao would think.

He walked directly in front of Lin Mu and suddenly knelt down.

He bowed his head, his forehead hitting the floor with heavy thuds.

The contact between his forehead and the floor kept making "thump-thump" sounds.

He only stopped when his entire forehead was covered in blood.

He said choked up, "This junior thanks Uncle for avenging me. This kindness will never be forgotten."

Lin Mu looked at Xu Nianzu's deathly pale face and wanted to offer some words of comfort.

But he didn't know how to comfort him.

When they left the Heavenly Dao Sect, Xu Nianzu must have known that Xiaohua didn't have long to live.

Although he had now avenged the great wrong, he had no other relatives left in this world.

Lin Mu finally asked, "What are your plans next?"

Xu Nianzu said in a calm tone, "I plan to take my mother back to Luocheng Mountain. That is my true home."

After Xu Nianzu finished speaking, he again kowtowed heavily before slowly getting up.

He quietly walked towards the door.

His back was so desolate.

Everyone voluntarily made way for him.

Lin Mu looked at the gradually disappearing figure and couldn't help but sigh.

"This karmic debt is finally over!"

Immediately, his gaze drifted towards the direction of Yan Country.

He thought to himself, "Next, it's time to deal with the main business."
