C227 Prepare for Battle
The temporary camp set up by the Hua Family outside the Jinling had now been revealed by a group of high-ranking family officers.
At the same time, those who were present had arrived. The higher ups of the other six families were also present.
Everyone had solemn expressions on their faces.
Hwa Yi's brows were furrowed coldly as he sat on the chair in the middle of the play. He did not say a word.
Hwa Tao, who was sitting next to him, looked relaxed. He did not fit in with the solemn atmosphere at the scene.
"Besides the Chu Family, who else wants to quit?" Hwa Yi went straight to the point and asked.
Yesterday, there was an internal conflict among the people, and the Chu Family was the first to withdraw. Hwa Yi tried his best to persuade them, but to no avail.
However, the good thing was that it didn't affect them much. Even if there were six families, they could still make Lin Lieh suffer. It would be even better if the Chu Family left. When the time came, they would be able to divide the Lin Family among themselves.
"What's the point of mentioning the Chu Family? They are just cowards. If it wasn't for the old patriarch, I would have crushed them with a single hand!"
Hwa Tao said while gnashing his teeth in anger.
"Forget it. Since the Chu Family wants to withdraw, we don't need to inform their family about our actions in the future. Ignorant thing, it's fine to ignore it. "
Hwa Yi pretended to be magnanimous, but his heart was filled with hatred.
"By the way, why did Dominator of the Western Realm come to Jinling?" Finally, someone took the initiative to touch upon this sensitive core.
Everyone was so scared that they kept quiet out of fear. For a moment, no one answered.
Hwa Tao raised his eyebrows and said with dissatisfaction: "No matter what, we are all members of the top Wealthy Class. Why are we so scared when we heard this name?"
"Could it be that this Dominator of the Western Realm is a god?"
Although Hwa Tao also knew that Dominator of the Western Realm's background was not small, it was not to the extent of scaring everyone, right?
The six of them held great power and had been conserving their energy for decades. Initially, they thought that they would be able to call for help and wait for an opportunity to cause chaos.
But now, they looked at this group of people who were all dejected. They were almost scared out of their wits by the name of Dominator of the Western Realm.
"Elder Hua, what should we do next?" After a while, the second member of the other families asked.
Hwa Yi frowned and waited for a long time before answering, "Let's wait and see."
"What about the team on the other side?" Hwa Tao took the initiative to ask.
Hwa Yi smiled coldly. "It's just rotten fish and prawns. Don't worry about it."
Hwa Yi had sent someone to contact the opposite party yesterday, but who knew that they would be chased out by the other party? They did not give him any face at all.
Hwa Yi had been suppressing his anger for a long time. He looked far into the distance and looked at the vast river water as he said coldly: "Stupid Lin Lieh! This time, I will teach you how to arrange troops and set up formations!"
The next morning, a large number of young men gradually gathered on the long street outside the Lin Family, and the scale was getting bigger and bigger.
"Lin Family, hand over Lin Ruoxue to apologize for Hwa Meng's death!"
"Hand over Lin Ruoxue!"
"The Lin Family must atone for their crimes! "
Human nature could never withstand a test. Just two days ago, the numerous people of Jinling who were united to form a city had now turned against each other. More and more people gradually joined the requesting team.
These people only had one goal: to hand over Lin Ruoxue and let the Hua Family handle her.
Of course, there were not only people from Jinling among these people. There were also spies sent by the Hua Family who had infiltrated the group and incited them.
To the people of the Jinling, there was nothing wrong with this matter. After all, once the Hua Family entered the Jinling, it would bring a nightmare to the locals.
Everyone was doing this for the sake of survival, and it was also out of helplessness.
Lin Lieh had always cared about the people's lives. Although the noise outside the door was louder and louder, he was still unwilling to use force to expel them.
Lin Lieh stood in front of the empty courtyard, allowing the sound of the tide to pour into his ears. The rest of the Lin family members stood with their hands hanging down, all of their faces solemn.
After a while, a weak voice sounded, "Grandfather, why don't you hand Lin Ruoxue over? This way, the Hua Family can let us go..."
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Chen Yuan immediately frowned and flew into a rage.
As Lin Ruoxue's cousin, lin Shan had the same bloodline as Lin Ruoxue. She actually said such inhumane words at such a critical moment.
Lin Shan rolled her eyes at Chen Yuan and said righteously, "This is a critical moment. As a member of the Lin Family, she must have the resolve to sacrifice herself for the Lin Family. She will definitely be willing to sacrifice her life to protect the entire family of the Lin Family!"
Chen Yuan was so angry that his face turned red. How could she say that a person's life was not important enough?
However, lin Shan's words still attracted the whispers of the Lin family members.
Many people exchanged glances with each other and reached a consensus. They wanted old master to hand over Lin Ruoxue in exchange for the peace of the entire family.
"Grandfather, if this continues, we really can't hold on anymore!" Lin Shan walked forward with a threatening tone.
"If you guys are unwilling to offend someone, then I will personally call Lin Ruoxue out. I don't believe that she will not know about the deafening sound outside!"
The more Lin Shan spoke, the angrier she became. She wished that she could hand Lin Ruoxue over to the Hua Family right now to quell the anger of the Hua Family.
"If the family also needs you to sacrifice yourself, are you willing to do so?" Suddenly, a cold voice asked.
"Of course not, I didn't do anything wrong..." However, before she could finish her sentence, lin Shan was instantly rendered speechless. A single sentence revealed all of her true thoughts.
Lin Ruoxue's death was a matter of course. Why should she let me die?
"You did not do anything wrong, could it be that Ruoxue was wrong?" Lin Lieh instantly became furious. "She was innocent from the beginning to the end. She was even ravaged by the Hua family. Now you want her to die obediently?"
The cold questioning instantly frightened Lin Shan out of her wits. She wanted to return to her family's team, but everyone looked at her as if she was the God of Plagues.
"She's your sister!" Lin Lieh suddenly turned his head, his eyes red, "How can you say such outrageous words!"
"Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I was just muddle-headed just now. I mean no harm. I... " Lin Shan explained with her mouth parched. She knew that she had stirred up a huge mess today.
"Chen Yuan, break your legs and expel yourself from the Lin Family. Our Lin Family doesn't need such a beast who seeks power!" These words instantly frightened Lin Shan, causing her face to turn pale. Wasn't expelling her from the Lin Family the same as pushing her into a fiery pit?
"Grandfather, I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Lin Shan kept begging, but Lin Lieh waved his sleeve and threw her out.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The vermillion door slowly opened, and Lin Lieh slowly walked out to meet everyone's gaze.
At this moment, Lin Lieh, who was close to eighty years old, cupped his fists at the many citizens of Jinling on the long street. "Everyone, i, Lin Lieh, have been doing things my entire life. I know that I have lived up to the heavens, and I have lived up to the heavens, and I have lived up to the earth. I have lived up to the common people of Jinling in the middle!"
After the ceremony, kindness and justice were cut off.
"Even if our Lin Family cannot escape the fate of being destroyed, no one can touch a single hair of Ruoxue before that. If you don't believe me, feel free to give it a try!"
At this moment, this old man with white hair and beard was standing at the entrance of the Lin Family with his head held high. His killing intent was dense. "Lin Family, prepare for war!"
