Chapter 1002 The Devil Comes Knocking

 

When I speak like this, it’s not to show off how impressive I am, nor to steal credit… Without Master Fang’s brilliant leadership, I alone would never have been able to accomplish this. However, I won’t say I had no merit at all, after all, the Fan family’s defensive forces were quite strong…” Su Changge rambled on.

The Lin family members around him watched with strange expressions.

This person looked so handsome, appearing like a cold young master from a wealthy family, but why did he talk so much?

“Enough.” Fang Yu interrupted Su Changge, looked at Lin Zhenxu, and said, “I came here to take you with me.”

Lin Zhenxu’s eyes flickered slightly as he asked, “Where to?”

“To settle accounts with those four families, of course,” Fang Yu said, raising an eyebrow.

“…Alright!” Lin Zhenxu was stunned for a moment before immediately agreeing.

Beside him, Lin Zhenxi’s expression changed.

Although the intelligence was most likely true, they were facing the four major families!

Without evidence, causing trouble for them would be dangerous…

But when Lin Zhenxi looked at Fang Yu, he suddenly swallowed his words.

This Master Fang was someone who could crush the Wang family single-handedly…

If he wasn’t afraid of the Wang family, what was there to fear about the other four major families?

With Fang Yu taking the lead, too much caution would only appear as cowardice!

“Zhenxu, be careful. If anything happens, notify me immediately, and I’ll bring people to support you!” Lin Zhenxi took a deep breath and said.

Fang Yu glanced at Lin Zhenxi with surprise in his eyes.

He had thought Lin Zhenxi would try to stop this action. But now it seemed Lin Zhenxi understood.

To secure the top position in a place like North Capital, one must demonstrate overwhelming power.

Of course, undeniably, the Lin family currently didn’t have the strength to surpass other top families by one or two levels.

On their own, they couldn’t secure the throne.

As descendants of Lin Batian, Fang Yu decided to give the Lin family a push.

That’s why he had been frequently interacting with the Lin family recently, even passing down the Heavenly Way Sword Technique to Lin Zhilan.

But this wasn’t enough.

Relying on just this bit of reputation was superficial and fragile.

If Fang Yu were to leave North Capital someday, the Lin family would become a paper tiger.

To avoid this situation, either the Lin family needed to enhance their strength, or… the power of other top families in North Capital needed to be weakened.

But a family’s strength couldn’t grow overnight.

Therefore, to quickly secure the Lin family’s position on the throne, only the second method would work.

In fact, the Lin family was quite fortunate.

Originally, Fang Yu would have found it difficult to justify weakening other top families.

Yet these families kept presenting themselves as targets one after another.

The Wang family had already been crushed to near-death by Fang Yu.

Now, the other four major families had lined themselves up.

“Let’s go,” Fang Yu said to Lin Zhenxu. “We’ll go to the Guan family first.”

As he spoke, Fang Yu activated his Void Ring.

He had already researched the Guan family’s location.

Lin Zhenxu walked to Fang Yu’s side.

“Zhenxu, what about Lin Rong… how should we handle him?” Lin Zhenxi asked.

“Handle it as I said earlier, but before expelling him from the family, keep him under watch,” Lin Zhenxu said with narrowed eyes. “Don’t give him any chance to contact those four major families.”

“…Alright,” Lin Zhenxi replied.

With Lin Zhengxiong absent, he now regarded Lin Zhenxu as the temporary family head.

“You can also use large-scale teleportation techniques, so go by yourself,” Fang Yu said, glancing at Su Changge.

As soon as he finished speaking.

“Whoosh!”

Light enveloped Fang Yu and Lin Zhenxu, and they disappeared.

“Everyone, I shall take my leave as well,” Su Changge bowed to the Lin family members.

“Swoosh!”

The next second, he vanished without a trace.

The Lin family hall fell silent.

Lin Rong turned pale, his legs weakened, and he collapsed to the ground.

Lin Zhenxi looked at Lin Rong, sighed, and then said, “Come, take Lin Rong into custody.”

…

Fang Yu and Lin Zhenxu arrived at the Guan family’s main gate.

It was now nine-thirty in the evening.

Two red lanterns hung on the Guan family’s gate, casting a faint red glow on the floor in front.

Two guards stood at the gate.

Fang Yu and Lin Zhenxu’s sudden appearance startled them.

“Who are you!? What do you want?” one guard shouted.

The other guard transmitted his voice using true qi, shouting, “Alert!”

Instantly, dozens of cultivators’ auras erupted from within the Guan family mansion.

“Don’t be nervous, we’re just here to have a chat with your family head, Guan Yi,” Fang Yu said.

By now, the Lin family’s gate had opened.

Nearly forty guards rushed out.

These guards were all around the Yuan Ying stage in cultivation.

“Though this is my first visit, you don’t need to be so enthusiastic,” Fang Yu smiled.

“What do you want!?” A mid-stage Yuan Ying guard stepped forward and asked sternly.

“As I said, I want to talk with your family head Guan Yi, and if Guan Hong is also here, that would be even better,” Fang Yu said.

As he spoke, a figure suddenly appeared behind Fang Yu.

It was Su Changge.

His appearance made the guards’ expressions change again!

“You are… Fang Yu!?” The guard captain stared at Fang Yu’s face, recalling the photos circulated in their family, and turned pale with shock.

“Tell your family head to come out, or we’ll go in to find him,” Fang Yu said.

“Fang Yu… what exactly do you want!?” The guard captain asked in horror.

At this moment, the other guards’ expressions also changed.

In North Capital, Fang Yu was like a god of death.

His arrival surely meant trouble!

“I’ve already repeated myself twice,” Fang Yu said, looking at Lin Zhenxu.

“Your family head conspired with others to attack our Lin family, causing my uncle Lin Zhengxiong to be seriously injured,” Lin Zhenxu said coldly. “Tonight, we’re here for justice!”

“…What are you saying? How could our family head possibly…” The guard captain’s face turned pale, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

“Fine, we’ll go in and find him ourselves,” Fang Yu said, stepping toward the gate.

The guards looked at their captain in terror.

This was Fang Yu!

They didn’t dare to act rashly!

The guard captain’s clothes were now soaked with cold sweat.

He didn’t know what to do…

So, for every step Fang Yu’s group took forward, the guards took one step back.

At the gate, the guards had already split to stand on both sides, watching as Fang Yu’s group walked in.

“This, this… quickly notify the family head!” The guard captain’s heart pounded as he shouted.

…

“Family Head, Family Head! Something terrible has happened!”

Guan Yi was sitting in the hall talking with Guan Hong when a subordinate rushed in.

“What’s wrong?” Guan Yi’s expression changed as he asked.

“Fang, Fang Yu and Lin Zhenxu from the Lin family… have broken into our mansion, saying they want to see you and Master Guan Hong…” the subordinate panted.

“What!?”

Guan Yi immediately stood up, shocked.

Fang Yu and Lin Zhenxu… why would they come here?

Could it be… they already knew about yesterday’s attack…

“Master Guan Yun has already led the elite guards to stop them! Family Head, what should we do now…” the subordinate asked, his face pale.

“Boom!”

Before Guan Yi could answer, an explosion sounded from outside, accompanied by screams.

The ground shook.

Guan Yi turned ashen, looking at Guan Hong.

He knew… the situation meant they had been exposed.

“It must be that Lin Rong was caught!” Guan Hong said through gritted teeth. “I told you yesterday after the attack that we should have silenced him! But you wouldn’t listen, saying we should keep him alive for future use!”

Facing Guan Hong’s accusations, Guan Yi had no mind to argue.

He raised his head, looking at the subordinate beside him, and said urgently, “Go to my study, take the communication talisman from the drawer, and notify Master Long Xi about this matter, asking him to come help… also contact the other two family heads.”

“Yes, yes…” the subordinate answered tremblingly.

“Tell them that if I fall, their two families won’t survive either! Tell them to come provide support immediately!” Guan Yi gasped for breath, adding.

“…I understand.” The subordinate immediately turned and ran out.
