Chapter 16: Crisis of the Long Family

"Lin Yunlong, what do you mean by this?"

In the frontyard, Dragon Star's expression was heavy, repudiating with a cold voice.

The hundreds of people behind him had the same grim expressions. However, in their eyes, there was a sense of determination.

Opposite the Long Family folks stood twenty to thirty people, each emanating a powerful aura. The leading trio had a white-clothed teenager at the helm who looked noble and ambitious. Despite looking to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, he had already reached Spiritual Martial Level Six. He was clearly a young prodigy.

Next to the teen on the left stood a middle-aged man in armor who was in the Earth Martial Realm, while Lin Yunlong, Father of Lin Yuanchu, was on his right.

"What am I doing?"

Lin Yunlong scoffed, "After today, there will no longer be a Long Family in Ling Wu City."

Long Cangqiong and the Five Elders had all gone to the Lin Family's banquet, leaving the Long Family without any Earth Martial Realm. With the people by his side, it was enough to eliminate the Long Family!

"Lin Yunlong, you're a bit too overconfident."

At that moment, a domineering voice rang out—Long Yan stepped out of the crowd and moved to Dragon Star's side.

"Yan'er, what are you doing here? Quickly leave. If you don't go now, you might not have the chance later."

Dragon Star murmured.

"Third Uncle, don't worry. I know my measures."

Long Yan shot Dragon Star a reassuring look.

At a time like this, he definitely wouldn't leave alone.

"Are you Long Yan?"

Bai Tianyu's gaze fell on Long Yan. He had somewhat understood Long Yan from Lin Yunlong's descriptions.

"Correct, I am Long Yan. Who are you to question?"

Long Yan responded.

"Impudent!"

Lin Yunlong immediately scolded and attacked with his Big Hand. The aura of the Spiritual Martial Level 9 emanated from him. His five fingers formed into a claw, aiming to grab Long Yan.

"Lin Yunlong, if you dare to lay a finger on Yan'er, I'll make sure you regret ever being born."

At that moment, a bell-like voice suddenly rang out, breaking down Lin Yunlong's True Qi Giant Hand.

The voice was still fading when a towering figure appeared beside Long Yan. It was none other than Long Xinghe.

"Long Xinghe, you've broken into the Earth Martial Realm?"

Lin Yunlong's expression changed. He'd always considered Long Xinghe an opponent, but he hadn't expected Long Xinghe to enter the Realm of Earth Martial first.

"Correct."

Long Xinghe exuded the aura of the Earth Martial Realm, saying, "You dream of annihilating the Long Family, but look at yourselves!"

Recently, he had been practicing the Tyrant Sky Art and smoothly broke into the Earth Martial Realm.

"Just a new entrant into the Earth Martial Realm, yet you speak so arrogantly."

The armored middle-aged man scoffed. The momentum of the Second Layer of Earth Martial Realm exploded from him, outright suppressing Long Xinghe.

"Long Yan, you're indeed arrogant. My name is Bai Tianyu, and I'll be your killer."

Bai Tianyu's gaze was firmly on Long Yan. He hadn't even glanced at the others even once. Killing a genius was his pleasure.

"There are many people who want to kill me, but they're all dead."

Disdain filled Long Yan's voice.

"I will personally kill Long Yan. You'll handle the rest. Wipe out the entire Long Family, leave no one. Attack!"

Bai Tianyu casually massaged his temples, a cold glint flashed through his eyes which were fixed on Long Yan. He then ordered the middle-aged man.

"Kill them!"

The armored middle-aged man understood. He gave a loud shout and stepped forward, leading with a palm strike toward Long Xinghe. A fierce bout immediately ensued between the two.

"Kill!"

The twenty-some guards of the Bai Family also revealed killing intent and pounced toward the Long Family's people.

The Bloodbath Feast began.

"Kill, defend the Long Family!"

With a roar, Dragon Star led the Long Family members to counter-attack.

"Dragon Star, your opponent is me."

Lin Yunlong had long targeted Dragon Star, and the two fought fiercely together.

As soon as the battle started, the Long Family fell into a disadvantage. The Bai Family's guards numbered only about thirty, but each of them had a cultivation level of Spiritual Martial Seventh Level or higher.

In the Long Family, there were less than twenty people who had reached the Spiritual Martial Seventh Level, and they simply could not hold up against such a force.

.....

At Lin Family, hundreds of tables were filled with people. Lin Zhennan sat at the forefront, with a beaming smile on his face.

This time, Bai Tianjun brought enough guards to wipe out the Long Family, especially with a Heavenly Martial Realm by his side. The Lin Family's dominance over Ling Wu City was just around the corner.

"Look, that's Bai Tianjun."

At this moment, a young man in a bright red celebratory robe walked into the courtyard, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

The young man was around eighteen or nineteen years old, handsome, talented, and proud. However, his gaze was slightly sinister, giving people an uncomfortable feeling at first glance.

This was Bai Tianjun, the first genius alchemist of the Tianwu Dynasty. He had mastered the Pill Fire and had already become a Third-grade Pill Refiner.

Next to Bai Tianjun, Lin Yuyan, wearing a phoenix crown and exquisite attire, looked charming and clung to Bai Tianjun like a little bird.

"I heard he is already a Third-grade Pill Refiner, such a genius. Even if he enters the Pill King Hall, he would definitely be a true disciple."

"Yes, the Lin Family has found a big tree in the Bai Family. They'll have whatever they want in the future."

"A while ago, the Long Family also had a genius alchemist, Long Yan, who refined the Supreme-grade Crimson Blood Pill. I wonder how he compares to Bai Tianjun?"

"You must be kidding, does Long Yan even compare to Bai Tianjun?"

.....

Bai Tianjun instantly became the center of attention, with admiring gazes from everywhere.

"Young Master Bai."

Lin Zhennan stepped forward, respectful in demeanor. He did not dare to show any arrogance in front of Bai Tianjun.

"The thing I promised you, of course, I will do. Today, I don't want to see any bloodshed. I will disable the people of Long Family for you. You handle the rest."

Bai Tianjun glanced at Long Cangqiong and the several elders of the Long Family with indifference.

"That's best, thank you, Young Master Bai."

Lin Zhennan was overjoyed. Wiping out the Long Family had always been his dream.

At Bai Tianjun's signal, an elderly man stood up, his hawk-like eyes scanning the crowd: "Listen well, from today onwards, the Lin Family will be a subordinate force of the Bai Family, you all will have to submit to the Lin Family. Anyone who dares to disobey is opposing the Bai Family."

The elderly man's voice fused with the might of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Everyone present felt an absolute suppression, their breaths becoming difficult.

"Master, things are not going well, the Lin Family is indeed planning to take action against us."

The faces of the five elders of the Long Family were solemn. The Heavenly Martial Realm was far more than they could contend with.

"Submit to the Lin Family? That's daydreaming. If we have to, we'll fight them to the end."

Long Cangqiong said coldly, he was prepared for this when he came.

"Especially the Long Family, I'll give you one chance, submit now, or die!"

The elderly man's gaze focused on Long Cangqiong and the five elders, his tone cold.

.....

In the midst of the Long Family's battle cries, less than five minutes had passed and dozens of members of the Long Family had fallen, with even more injured.

The battle was one-sided. Even Long Xinghe was being pressured by a middle-aged man in armor, who was engrossed in the fierce fight.

At this moment, Long Yan was engaged in battle with Bai Tianyu. Bai Tianyu was at Spiritual Martial Level Six and was very powerful.

Although Long Yan was at the True Martial Ninth Level, his full strength could only kill those at the Spiritual Martial Fifth Level, reaching the height of Spiritual Martial Level Six, making the two evenly matched.
