Chapter 160 - 160 Become My Citizens, and You will be Worry-Free!
160 Become My Citizens, and You will be Worry-Free!
“Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Zhao Panlong, who had the fiercest temper, shouted angrily when he saw Lin Wudao and the other two suddenly barge into the Li family.
Boom!
As he spoke, he took a step forward and blocked Lin Wudao’s path.
At the same time, the powerful aura of the Heaven Capture realm erupted and swept through the Purple Cloud Hall.
Obviously, he wanted to use this to intimidate Lin Wudao.
However, this time, he picked on the wrong target.
“Get lost!”
Just as Zhao Panlong stood in front of Lin Wudao, an extremely terrifying sword energy suddenly slashed at his back.
“Perfection of the Heaven Capture realm?”
Zhao Panlong was terrified to the extreme.
Ah!
Accompanied by a shrill scream, he did not have time to react or resist at all. His entire body was cut into two halves by that terrifying sword energy. With that, he died without a burial place.
“Ha!”
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Faced with this sudden change, be it Qi Chunqiu of the Beihai Family or Pei Youming of the Langya Family, they were all shocked.
Their eyes were filled with intense panic and fear.
The other party had killed Zhao Panlong with a single strike. How terrifying was that?
Although Zhao Panlong was only at the early stage of the Heaven Capture realm, to be able to kill him with a single strike, the other party had to be at least at the peak stage or even the perfection stage of the Heaven Capture realm!
Where did these three pop out from?
For a moment, Qi Chunqiu and Pei Youming, who were originally high and mighty, felt extreme fear in their hearts.
Lin Wudao did not care about Zhao Panlong’s death at all.
After stepping into the Li family, he went straight to the Purple Cloud Hall and sat at the head of the hall.
Whoosh!
His calm eyes slowly swept across everyone present.
“We are from the City of Sin in Jiuzhou. This time, the City Lord has come to partic.i.p.ate in the Path to Heaven and happened to hear about the shocking changes that happened to the Li family. He felt pity and sympathy for the Li family. Given that the Li family’s current strength is not enough to protect themselves, from now on, the Heishui Ancient City and the entire Li family will be protected by the City of Sin.”
Yin Siming’s calm voice sounded.
The City of Sin?
Hearing this, the pupils of Qi Chunqiu, Pei Youming, and the others constricted slightly.
They had naturally heard of the City of Sin.
Some time ago, the City of Sin had risen to power in Jiuzhou at lightning speed. Then, it suppressed the Dari Demonic Sect and the other two great sects.
Now, the City of Sin had already become the number one faction in Jiuzhou.
Originally, the hidden factions didn’t think much of the City of Sin at all. They thought that the latter wouldn’t be able to achieve anything.
Who knew that they would surpa.s.s their expectations today?
Not only had the City of Sin become powerful, but it was even more terrifying than the ancient aristocratic families that had existed for thousands of years.
Thinking of this, the fear in Qi Chunqiu and Pei Youming’s hearts became even stronger.
Whoosh!
It was also at this moment that Lin Wudao’s indifferent gaze descended on them.
“I heard that the Beihai Family, the Panlong Family, and the Langya Family want to divide the Li Family?”
“This…”
The two were so scared that their bodies were trembling. They did not know how to answer.
“Well, since you dare to do it, why don’t you dare to admit it?”
“We…”
Li Zangtian, kill them,” Lin Wudao’s said calmly.
What was that? Did they want to kill them?
The moment these words came out, Qi Chunqiu and Pei Youming were instantly greatly shocked.
They immediately wanted to escape.
However, just as they turned around, two incomparably sharp sword energies streaked across the air. Without giving them any chance to resist, they were beheaded.
At this point, the Heaven Capture realm patriarchs of the three aristocratic families had all been killed on the spot.
“Ha!”
Seeing this brutal scene, everyone from the Li family was instantly scared out of their wits, and all of them gasped.
Their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Lin Wudao.
…
“I am the City Lord of the City of Sin, Lin Wudao. Your Li family has encountered a great disaster, and the three great aristocratic families in Jiuzhou want to divide you up to strengthen themselves. After I heard about it, I felt pity for you. From now on, are you willing to submit to the City of Sin? I can guarantee you that as long as you become a citizen of the City of Sin, you will be protected by the City of Sin forever. No matter if it’s the three great aristocratic families or the Xia Dynasty, no one will be able to harm you.”
“Other than that, the City of Sin will not interfere with the Li family’s affairs. Everything will still be under your control. You just need to provide resources on time. Of course, you must follow the City of Sin’s orders unconditionally.”
Lin Wudao’s calm voice sounded amidst everyone’s fear.
What? Didn’t he want to destroy the Li family?
Hearing this, everyone present revealed a look of disbelief.
“The City Lord has always been kind and he hates to see others being bullied by evil forces. Now that the City of Sin has opened its doors, are you still unwilling?”
Yin Siming abruptly shouted.
Hearing this, everyone was instantly jolted back to reality.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
…
Under the leadership of the Heaven Capture realm patriarchs, everyone knelt.
“The Li family is willing to submit to the City of Sin and become a citizen of the City of Sin!”
Everyone kowtowed fearfully.
In response, Lin Wudao nodded in satisfaction.
Then, his gaze swept past Li Chengyin and the others in the crowd.
“Welcome to the City of Sin. In view of the Li family’s great disaster, and the fact that the family can’t be without a leader, it just so happens that tomorrow will be the once-in-a-thousand-year Path to Heaven. Whoever can perform the best on the Path to Heaven can become the Li family’s clan leader. You guys can handle the rest yourselves. Oh right, spread the news of Zhao Panlong and the others’ deaths. These unruly aristocratic families are stepping stones that hinder the City of Sin’s progress. We must eliminate them. If they’re so capable, they can come and find me.”
After saying that, Lin Wudao gave a few more instructions before putting away the corpses of Zhao Panlong and the other two. He then turned around and left.
…
Whoosh!
After Lin Wudao had left, the Li family members heaved a sigh of relief. They were still fear-stricken, and their hearts were filled with angst.
Just now, they had all taken a trip to the gates of h.e.l.l!
“Patriarch, the City of Sin… How can it be so powerful?”
After a long time, a clansman asked.
In response, the group of patriarchs shook their heads and sighed.
“Who knows?”
“However, this is also a good thing. Our Li family has just suffered a great disaster and thus our current foundation and strength are far from the other aristocratic families. Joining the City of Sin is a good way to preserve our vitality.”
“At the very least, we can avoid the threat of the other aristocratic families.”
“That’s right. Although this City Lord Lin Wudao is a little brutal, his strength is unfathomable. The fact that he killed Zhao Panlong and the others with a single strike is the best proof. ”
“Sigh, this might be the best ending for the Li family now…”
…
The patriarchs sighed.
Soon after, they dismissed the clansmen and announced the news of Zhao Panlong and the others’ deaths.
Lin Wudao paid no heed to the Li family’s reaction and actions.
[Ding dong!]
After returning to the Myth Inn, he received a notification from the system.
[Congratulations, you have subdued the Heishui Family with your powerful strength and charisma, making them willing to become citizens of the City of Sin. Fate Energy value +10000000.]
Ten million?
Lin Wudao smiled.
This result was quite satisfactory.
“Next is to wait for the arrival of the Path to Heaven tomorrow…” He muttered.
Then, he threw the corpses of Zhao Panlong and the others into the Corpse-refining Furnace and quietly cultivated.
Soon, the next day arrived.
