Chapter 1023: The Family Heads Have Returned
"You want us to submit to you, kid? You're dreaming in broad daylight!" A Zhuang Family elder couldn't help but shout angrily.
"Is that so?" Huang Xiaolong smiled and suddenly raised a finger. A Divine Fire flew out and landed on the Zhuang Family elder, causing him to scream miserably.
However, no matter how the Zhuang Family elder slapped at it or tried to suppress it with Divine Power, the Divine Fire refused to extinguish and only burned more fiercely.
At first, it was his legs, then his waist, followed by his chest, until the Divine Fire completely devoured him, turning him into a fireman.
The Zhuang Family elder screamed bitterly, reaching out to the strong people of the Four Great Families for help, but they all retreated in horror, afraid of touching the flames, each hiding far away.
After burning for more than ten minutes, the Zhuang Family elder finally stopped struggling and moving, lying on the ground and slowly turning into a pile of white bones that scattered with the wind.
Watching this scene, the faces of the strong people from the Four Great Families were extremely pale.
Just over ten minutes ago, that Zhuang Family elder was a living Heavenly God Second Stage Early Stage strong man, whose status was only second to the Zhuang Family Master.
But now, because of just one sentence, he has ended up with no place for burial!
Huang Xiaolong glanced at He Hanyu, Su Yinhai, and others, saying, "My patience is limited. You have five minutes to consider."
Five minutes!
He Hanyu, Su Yinhai, and others all looked grim.
But none of the Four Great Families dared to speak again.
Time seemed to slow down.
Passing bit by bit.
With every passing second, the hearts of He Hanyu, Su Yinhai, and the others constricted more tightly.
Quickly, a minute passed.
Huang Xiaolong was not in a hurry, his face indifferent, waiting for He Hanyu and the others to decide.
Two minutes passed.
At this moment, suddenly, the Golden Horned Little Bull let out a "moo," its sudden sound startling He Hanyu, Su Yinhai, and the others, making their hearts jump.
Fortunately, everyone had strong hearts, otherwise, they might have been scared to death just now.
Huang Xiaolong looked at the Golden Horned Little Bull speechlessly, this little guy!
The Golden Horned Little Bull blinked its innocent cow eyes at Huang Xiaolong.
Four minutes passed.
In the distance, the Lin Family Castle disciples and guards were also exceptionally tense, their bodies taut.
"I, I am willing to pledge my allegiance." Ultimately, unable to bear the pressure of death, the Zhuang Family Master was the first to speak shakily, pledging allegiance to Huang Xiaolong.
The Zhuang Family Master pledged allegiance, and seeing this, the Zhuang Family strong people hesitated but then also opened their mouths one by one, kneeling down in submission.
Next was the Deng Family Patriarch and the Deng Family experts.
Seeing this, He Hanyu and Su Yinhai reluctantly led their people to kneel in submission before Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong nodded and then allowed the people from the four families to rise.
Afterwards, Huang Xiaolong directly planted soul marks on the Divine statuses of the Heavenly God strong people from the four families, completely controlling He Hanyu, Su Yinhai, and others.
Although He Hanyu, Su Yinhai, and others wanted to resist, when they thought of Huang Xiaolong's terrifying strength earlier and the tragic death of the Zhuang Family elder, they all abandoned any thoughts of resistance.
After being planted with soul marks by Huang Xiaolong, He Hanyu, Su Yinhai, and the others looked gloomy.
"Young Master, how should we deal with these traitors?" At this time, Lin Hang cautiously stepped forward to inquire of Huang Xiaolong, referring to the Lin Family Castle disciples and guards who had previously betrayed Huang Xiaolong to serve the Four Great Families.
The Lin Family Castle disciples and guards looked anxiously at Huang Xiaolong.
"Lin Family Castle has its own rules." Huang Xiaolong said coldly.
"Yes, Young Master, subordinate understands." Lin Hang's heart trembled, and he respectfully responded.
Huang Xiaolong's meaning could not be clearer: deal with them according to Lin Family Castle's rules!
In general, whether big or small powers, traitors are directly executed, and Lin Family Castle is no exception.
When they heard this, the Lin Family Castle disciples and guards were terrified, all kneeling down, with some fouling their pants, crying bitterly for mercy, kowtowing to Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong rode the Golden Horned Little Bull back inside Lin Family Castle.
Soon, screams resounded one after another.
Then gradually became fewer, finally disappearing.
After dealing with the traitors of Lin Family Castle, the strong people from the Four Great Families and Lin Hang entered Lin Family Castle, trembling as they approached the Great Hall.
Huang Xiaolong sat on the throne of the Great Hall and said, "He Hanyu."
"Yes, Young Master." He Hanyu trembled in his heart and stepped forward with his head lowered.
"Su Yinhai." Huang Xiaolong continued to call the other three family patriarchs.
Su Yinhai and the other three stepped forward trembling.
"Report to me in detail about the situation of the Four Great Families." Huang Xiaolong said.
Listening to Huang Xiaolong only wanting to understand the situation of the Four Great Families, the four heaved a sigh of relief, their foreheads sweating less heavily.
After hearing the report from the four, Huang Xiaolong was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Four Great Families to actually control ninety percent of Qingyang City's economy, and besides Qingyang City's powers, there were more than fifty other forces that relied on the Four Great Families!
Unexpectedly, the Four Great Families didn't have many experts, but their influence was not small.
This unexpected discovery surprised Huang Xiaolong.
Immediately, Huang Xiaolong instructed He Hanyu and others to hand over all the Spiritual Medicines and Divine Pills from their Space Rings.
Though the Spiritual Medicines and Divine Pills in Lin Family Castle's Treasure Vault were enough for Huang Xiaolong to cultivate for some time, for him, the more Spiritual Medicines and Divine Pills, the better.
He Hanyu and others were reluctant but dared not disobey Huang Xiaolong's command, so they all took out the Spiritual Medicines and Divine Pills from their Space Rings.
Immediately, the Spiritual Medicines and Divine Pills piled up like a mountain in the Great Hall.
Huang Xiaolong looked at the Spiritual Medicines and Divine Pills with astonishing Spiritual Energy in the Great Hall and nodded with satisfaction. Although He Hanyu and others' offerings combined couldn't rival the Lin Family Castle's Treasure Vault, it was enough for him to cultivate for a while.
Huang Xiaolong did not ask the Four Great Families to bring their Treasure Vault to him, as the Four Great Families also needed to maintain their everyday operations. If he emptied their Treasure Vault, the disciples of the Four Great Families might have to go begging to make ends meet.
After collecting the Spiritual Medicines and Divine Pills from the Great Hall, Huang Xiaolong instructed He Hanyu and others on many matters, then had everyone leave Lin Family Castle, leaving only a few disciples to guard Lin Family Castle.
After the Lin Family Castle disciples and guards were dealt with, Lin Family Castle now had few disciples and guards left.
He Hanyu, Su Yinhai, and others courteously bowed and then exited the Great Hall.
When they walked out of the Lin Family Castle's great iron gate, He Hanyu sighed deeply, and then he and Su Yinhai and others returned to Qingyang City with a dispirited expression.
In the He Family Great Hall in Qingyang City, He Cheng, whose meridians had been severed by Huang Xiaolong, sat there anxiously waiting for news.
"Young Master He Cheng, rest assured, with the strength of the Family Head and the others, they will surely destroy Lin Family Castle, and that kid won't escape." The He Family guard beside him comforted.
"Young Master He Cheng, the Family Head and the others are back!" Suddenly, a He Family guard rushed in excitedly to report.
He Cheng's face lit up with joy as he stood up abruptly and rushed out of the Great Hall to the He Family gate, where he saw He Hanyu and others returning from Lin Family Castle.
