171: Lin Tangfeng's death was not an accident!

Hearing this voice, Lin Tangyu violently shivered.

Seeing Lin You approach, he panicked and said, "Wha... Lin You, what do you mean by that..."

Lin You wore an appropriate smile on his face. He leaned slightly closer to Lin Tangyu.

"Why do I sense from you..."

"...the scent of fear..."

"Are you afraid?"

"I think my words were clear enough."

"Your life must end here today."

Lin Tangyu's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty. The extreme proximity made his heart tremble.

He subconsciously took two steps back, forcing a strained smile onto his face.

"Lin You..."

"I don't understand."

Lin You smiled, showing his white teeth, yet it gave off no hint of warmth.

A deadly silence slowly flowed through the space.

Someone in the Second-Tier Star Region couldn't hold back and spoke coldly.

"Lin You, what are you trying to do now!"

"It's one thing that you refuse to contribute to the All Heavens."

"Are you planning to cause trouble too?!"

Lin You turned his head, his icy gaze landing on that person.

In that instant,

an aura named death enveloped him. Even though he was a God-King Realm Cultivator, he couldn't help but feel terrified.

This guy... only half a day since they last met, yet how... how did he give off such a spine-chilling feeling!

"Shut up!"

Lin You spat out two words, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"You want to know the reason?"

"Fine."

"Today, I'll let everyone see clearly."

Lin You turned around, slowly drew the long sword from his waist, and rested it against Lin Tangyu's neck.

"In the past six months... quite a few members of the Human Race have died, haven't they?"

Someone asked, confused, "So what?"

Lin You sneered.

"So what?"

"Are you brain-dead?"

"It's been so long, I almost forgot the reason why the Lin Family didn't kill me immediately back then."

"It wasn't that the Lin Family didn't want to kill me... it's that they couldn't kill me!"

"Lin Jingyun once said... that within the Lin Family, there was still a group of elders from the same generation as Lin Tangfeng."

"It was them... who forbade the Lin Family from acting against me."

"The first time I came to the Second-Tier Star Region, after hearing this person's words, I nearly failed to regain my senses."

"Let me ask you this."

Lin You lightly tilted the body of his sword, drawing a faint trail of blood on Lin Tangyu's neck.

"Where are those elders of the Lin Family?"

Lin Tangyu's Adam's apple bobbed, and sweat poured down like rain.

For a long while, he couldn't utter a single word.

Those people... they were all dead!

Yes, people died in every major battle against the Foreign Races.

But among those deaths, he had deliberately interfered, secretly making moves again and again to bury that group of people during their clashes with the Foreign Races!

The goal was to clear away these obstacles.

And bury the secrets of the Lin Family from that year along with them.

Originally, all of this was proceeding in an orderly fashion... there was only one thing he hadn't accounted for.

That was Lin You!

The first time this guy appeared in the Sixth-Rank Star Domain was half a year ago.

At that time, he...

was merely at the True Immortal Realm cultivation level!

Who could have imagined that in just half a year, this guy would become a behemoth in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms!

Looking throughout history, no one has ever progressed at such a terrifying speed!

Seeing that Lin Tangyu remained silent, Lin You continued:

"You won't talk? I'll talk for you."

"The Lin Family elders... are all dead."

"Killed by you!"

"I originally thought you and the Sima Family were just birds of a feather, which is why you gathered together."

"But an incense stick ago, I figured all of this out!"

His words slowly echoed throughout the Second-Tier Star Region.

A Human Race Cultivator looked at Lin You, puzzled, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Lin You chuckled and shook his head.

He spoke a truth that made everyone's scalp tingle.

"The Lin Family..."

"is the scum of the All Heavens!"

"Lin Tangfeng's death back then was not an accident!"

"It was him who secretly colluded with the Sima Family and intentionally killed Lin Tangfeng!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was astonished.

"Don't speak nonsense!"

"The Lin Family and the Sima Family are First-Rank Longevity Families. Do you... have proof for this claim?"

Lin You narrowed his eyes, and the sword edge became three parts sharper.

"The Sima Family has already confessed."

"If you don't know, you can contact your clansmen now."

"Inside the Sima Family... two Demonic Lords at the Peak of the quasi-Emperor stage are hidden!"

"If they aren't secretly communicating with the Foreign Races, then am I?"

Suddenly,

the Divine Thoughts of various mighty existences began to frantically communicate.

Their aura spread out as they used various methods to contact the Disciples in their respective clans.

In less than half an hour, they had fully understood the situation.

"Bastards!"

"The Sima Family... they truly have the audacity of a dog!"

"These guys... they hid this for so long. What about the Lin Family?"

A God King quasi-Emperor was filled with soaring rage and loudly crushed the Communication Jade Slip in his hand.

In an instant,

countless gazes fell upon Lin Tangyu.

Lin You was only heard saying softly, "Although I still don't know how you killed Lin Tangfeng, it doesn't matter anymore."

"The Sima Family secretly colluded with the Foreign Races."

"And you silently buried those people in the Second-Tier Star Region."

"I thought long and hard: if Lin Tangfeng had betrayed the Lin Family and betrayed the All Heavens back then, why would the old fellows of his generation spare our lineage instead of wiping us out completely?"

"Logically speaking, there would be no talk of merely expelling us."

"There is only one reason..."

"They knew exactly how Lin Tangfeng died."

"They simply chose to bury this secret deep within their hearts to preserve the entire Longevity Lin Family."

"Otherwise, once the truth was revealed, even with Lin Tangfeng's death being a foregone conclusion, the Lin Family would also be destroyed."

As he finished speaking, Lin You stared intently at Lin Tangyu.

"You killed Lin Tangfeng, and then bound the elders by the lives of everyone in the Lin Family, preventing them from speaking out."

"Finally, you weren't at ease, so you completely buried them."

"Am I right?"

At this moment, Lin Tangyu's eyes were already dull. He stared at the appearance of the young man before him.

For a moment, he was even somewhat dazed.

"B-Big Brother?"

Immediately afterward, Lin Tangyu shook his head like a rattle-drum. "No... this is all just speculation!"

"You..."

"You are slandering the Longevity Lin Family!"

Lin You sneered.

"It doesn't matter if you don't speak."

"I believe there are some people in the Lin Family whose bones aren't so hard."

"How about we bring you out one by one for separate interrogation, using your Divine Souls as wicks to light lamps, day and night? I don't believe none of you will speak."

Lin You spoke, revealing an icy smile.

Those calm words made people shudder.

Such torture was even more terrifying than killing them outright!

Lin Tangyu was already overwhelmed by fear at this moment. His eyes were vacant, and he muttered to himself.

"No... I didn't..."

"It wasn't me... Big Brother..."

"I just tried to persuade him a couple of times..."

"The Demon Race is too strong, we can't win..."

"If he continued like that, we would all die. I didn't kill him..."

"Yes, it was the Demon Race that gave us a way to survive."

"They forced me!"

"I just... I just deceived him once, just once..."
