Supreme Master In City

This night, many people in Jinling were tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.    

After all, although this storm was directed at the Lin Family, as a person of Jinling, it was hard for him to escape misfortune.    

The Hua Family's attitude was very clear. Not only did they order Lin Lieh to cancel his 80th birthday, they also ordered Hwa Meng to change the venue to Hwa Meng's funeral, and they also publicly offered Lin Ruoxue as a sacrifice.    

Furthermore, the Hua Family declared that everyone in Jinling would kneel down and send Hwa Meng away. Everyone would kowtow three times and kowtow nine times. Those who refused to comply would be killed.    

Now that things had come to this point, the Lin Family was not the only one involved. This was clearly stepping on the dignity of all the people of Jinling and ravaging them without restraint.    

Such humiliation, as long as it was someone with a little bit of courage, they would definitely be filled with righteous indignation.    

However, there was a noble family that stood above all living beings that didn't think this way.    

There was a saying that if a person did not want to live, he or she would be punished by the heavens and the earth.    

The current Jinling City was in a precarious situation. For some people, it was difficult, but for some people, it was an opportunity.    

If the Lin Family was turned into ashes in this catastrophe, then the Jinling City, which was in a state of chaos, would have no leader.    

Since Lin Lieh wanted to break a rock with an egg and offend the Hua Family, why would the rest of the people follow him to their deaths?    

For the honor of the Jinling? Or for the dignity of the locals?    

In the face of the life and death of the family, these intangible things were nothing. How could it be as real as real money?    

The Hua Family's army was pressing down on the border, and it seemed like they were about to besiege the Jinling. If they didn't choose a side at this critical moment, they might not have a chance anymore!    

Lin Lieh estimated that in less than two days, all the big and small families in Jinling would start to choose side lines.    

In fact, there were already people who had made their stand since morning.    

One of the five big families, the Mu Family.    

The wealthy families that had been entrenched in the southern part of Jinling for over a hundred years were the hottest topic of the Lin Family's competition not long ago.    

Just a few days ago, the golden plaque that was regarded as a family heirloom by the Mu Family was destroyed in front of everyone. Ever since then, the influence of the Mu Family had been diminishing day by day. Now, no one took the Mu Family seriously anymore.    

They didn't mention anything about the marriage anymore. They even became extra careful in their actions.    

However, in order to deal with this catastrophe, the Mu Family was the first to stand out. However, whether they would join the Hua Family or advance together with the Lin Family was still unknown.    

Early in the morning, the patriarch of the Mu Family, Mu Xun, publicly sent out a message. First, he wanted to appease the Hua Family and ask them to be patient. Secondly, he hoped that both parties could sit down and negotiate, and try to resolve this matter.    

There was nothing wrong with the investigation.    

Because his attitude was unclear, no one knew what the Mu Family was trying to do.    

After that, Mu Xun brought his three sons to the Lin Family to pay Lin Lieh a visit.    

Just as Lin Lieh finished breakfast, he saw Mu Xun bring his three sons into the hall with an aggressive manner. The Mu family members were no longer in a bad mood. All of them held their heads high and looked dignified.    

Lin Lieh immediately understood the attitude of the Mu Family when he saw this scene.    

Calling them fence-sitters was equivalent to praising the Mu Family.    

The dignified Martial Scholar had betrayed the land that raised them at such a critical moment. It was ridiculous, shameful, and pitiful.    

Such a scene was like a casual conversation. There was no need for him to go to the meeting hall. Many of the young disciples of Lin Family were following behind Lin Lieh.    

"Old Master Lin, what do you plan to do with this time's bedchamber?" Mu Xun was stunned for a moment. He put his hands behind his back and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lin Lieh. He asked indifferently.    

"I'm still thinking about it." Lin Lieh also replied without feeling any pain or itch.    

"What's there to think about when you're about to die? Hurry up and surrender. The Hua Family is deeply rooted. One hand is enough to crush all of you. It's not something that the Lin Family can deal with. You still dare to boast shamelessly about considering? Do you want to consider how you're going to die?"    

Mu Xun's second son, mu Yu, said coldly.    

Mu Xun smiled faintly. "My son is impatient and always tells the truth. Old Master Lin, don't take offense."    

Mu Yu smiled coldly. "As the saying goes, never mind letting others benefit from your own benefits. Anyway, your Lin Family is going to be finished soon. Why don't you do something good before you die?"    

"Lin Lieh, give the order now. Tell them that the Lin Family will follow the orders of the Mu Family's Patriarch and prepare to surrender."    

"At that time, the Hua Family might make Mu Family the next leader of the Jinling. This will count as you, Lin Lieh, doing something before your death."    

Mu Yu's face was filled with joy, boasting shamelessly.    

As Mu Xun's son, he was three generations behind Lin Lieh. However, his words and actions had a faint feeling of riding on Lin Lieh's head. Just like his father, he stood with his hands behind his back, pretending to be elegant.    

Mu Xun had a faint smile on his face. His eyes had been observing Lin Lieh's every move. It was obvious that he was gloating over Lin Lieh's misfortune.    

"Slap!"    

Lin Ruoxue glanced at Mu Yu and immediately scolded angrily.    

"Slap!"    

Chen Yuan heard her and slapped Mu Yu hard on the face. The force was so strong that the corner of his mouth was bleeding and he felt dizzy.    

"You mother * cker, you're courting death!" Mu Yu covered her face and gritted her teeth.    

"How dare a wet baby dare to point fingers at me, Lin Lieh? When you have time, go ask your grandfather in your ancestral grave, and ask him if he dares to be so arrogant towards me?"    

The father and son of Mu Family were startled.    

"Kneel!" Wang Zhong kicked Mu Yu's knees, and in an instant, the man who was just feeling proud of himself kneeled down on the ground.    

"Second brother!"    

"Second Brother!"    

Seeing this scene, mu Yu's two brothers immediately became anxious and cursed angrily. "Stupid Lin Lieh! How dare you touch my second brother!"    

Chen Yuan casually stood in front of them and said, "What's wrong? Do you think this is the Mu Family?"    

Boom!    

Mu Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, once again received a fierce beating from Wang Zhong.    

A minute ago, he was still high-spirited and high-spirited, but now, his face was swollen and his hair was disheveled. His eyes were filled with unwillingness, but he did not dare to flare up.    

Until now, the Mu family finally understood that the Lin Family was not a pushover that could be easily bullied.    

Initially, they thought that since the Lin Family was facing a great crisis, they should at least restrain their domineering attitude from before. However, he still slapped them without saying a word, without showing any mercy.    

"It's your business that the Mu family likes to put up a show. Don't come and embarrass yourself in the Lin Family!"    

Lin Lieh's voice was cold and merciless, causing Mu Xun to panic.    

Mu Xun was no longer as pretentious as before. He could only smile apologetically. "It's all my fault for not teaching my son well. I will apologize to Old Master Lin."    

"Our Lin Family hasn't fallen yet, and we are in such a hurry to become dogs?"    

Lin Lieh asked casually.    

Mu Xun felt extremely awkward and kept silent.    

The Mu Family had come to provoke them this time, but they were just putting on an act.    

It wouldn't take long for the Lin Family to surrender. Naturally, the Mu Family would stand out and ask for rewards.    

They said that the reason why the Lin Family surrendered was because they had followed the orders of the Mu Family. They said that the reason why the Lin Family surrendered was because they had followed the orders of the Mu Family. Or perhaps the Mu Family had tried to convince the Lin Family to give up.    

No matter what, the Mu Family had contributed a lot.    

When the war was over, not only would the Mu Family wash away all the humiliation they had suffered in the past, they would also gain the reputation of defending the Jinling's reputation.    

Furthermore, when the Hua Family saw that the Mu Family had put in so much effort, they were delighted to have the Mu Family replace the Lin Family and become the new overlord of Jinling!
