SWNOVELXO Chapter 600: Poison, Control the Lin Family?
Nanhuang Divine State is a vast territory situated near the Northern Desolate Divine Continent and the Qingmu Divine State, with an immeasurable expanse.
The Qin Family is one of the three absolute top-tier families within the Nanhuang Divine State.
Its power is formidable and indisputable.
However, they realized that the young man from the Qin Family was likely here to bring trouble upon them.
As such, they had to tread cautiously to safeguard the Lin Family's foundation.
"Ah, so it is Young Master Qin Tian of the Qin Family. Forgive my lack of courtesy.
May I ask, what brings Young Master Qin to my Lin Family?"
Lin Zhentian asked solemnly.
His tone carried a trace of vigilance and hostility.
He knew that this young man from the Qin Family was likely here to stir up trouble.
Thus, he had to respond carefully to protect the Lin Family's legacy.
Upon hearing Lin Zhentian's question, Qin Tian responded with a faint smile.
He said, "Naturally, my visit here has to do with a matter of great importance that I wish to discuss with you."
"Oh?
A matter of importance?
May I ask, what might this matter be?"
Lin Zhentian inquired.
Qin Tian smiled slightly and said, "I have heard that your Lin Family recently acquired a treasure called the 'Qingmu Divine Crystal.'"
The expression on Lin Zhentian and the others immediately changed upon hearing Qin Tian's words.
They knew the treasure he mentioned was none other than the mysterious artifact their family had recently obtained.
It was said that this treasure contained a powerful energy, and refining it could significantly increase one's cultivation.
Thus, it held immense importance to the Lin Family.
But they hadn't expected the treasure to attract the covetous gaze of the Qin Family.
"Young Master Qin Tian, this treasure was obtained by our Lin Family. It appears to have no connection to your Qin Family, does it?"
Lin Zhentian asked with a solemn tone.
His voice carried a distinct note of hostility.
He knew this young man from the Qin Family was attempting to seize the Lin Family's treasure.
As such, he had to be cautious to ensure their family's survival.
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian merely chuckled faintly.
He said, "True, it might belong to your family, but this treasure is, after all, a divine artifact.
It shouldn't solely belong to your Lin Family; it should be shared among all cultivators across Xuanyuan Continent, perhaps even everyone in the Cultivation Realm."
"Therefore, I believe you should hand over this treasure so cultivators within Nanhuang Divine State can all have a chance to access it."
Lin Zhentian and the others looked visibly distressed upon hearing Qin Tian's words.
They understood this young man from the Qin Family truly intended to take their treasure.
Not only that, but he wanted to monopolize it under the pretense of giving other cultivators the opportunity to use it.
Such absurd arrogance!
Lin Zhentian let out a cold laugh and said, "Young Master Qin Tian, don't you think your request is rather naive?
This treasure belongs to our Lin Family; naturally, we hold the right to decide its fate.
What grounds do you have to demand its handover?"
Qin Tian, hearing this, remained entirely unruffled.
He responded indifferently, "By virtue of the Qin Family's strength and my personal capabilities."
"If you fail to understand this, I won't hesitate to take action and seize the treasure myself."
Lin Zhentian and the others turned pale upon hearing Qin Tian's remark.
They realized this young man from the Qin Family was truly daring enough to attempt robbing them outright.
This instilled a sharp chill in their hearts.
They knew the strength of this young man must be extraordinary.
If it weren't, he wouldn't dare act so brazenly in trying to claim their treasure.
Thus, they had to be extremely cautious to protect their family's livelihood.
Lin Zhentian drew in a deep breath and said in a solemn tone, "Young Master Qin Tian, don't you think you're overlooking the Lin Family's standing here a bit much?"
"While we may not rival your Qin Family, we are certainly not pushovers that await exploitation."
Upon hearing Lin Zhentian's words, Qin Tian responded with a faint smile.
He said, "It's not that I disregard the Lin Family, but I believe your family is unworthy of possessing the treasure."
"If you are wise, you will hand it over obediently.
Otherwise, I won't hesitate to ensure your Lin Family's complete annihilation!"
Lin Zhentian and the others turned visibly livid hearing Qin Tian's words.
They understood that this young man from the Qin Family truly intended to attack their family.
Rage surged within their hearts as they absorbed the blatant threat.
Lin Zhentian coldly laughed and said, "Young Master Qin Tian, your arrogance knows no bounds, doesn't it?
Do you believe your Qin Family holds dominion over everything?"
"Though we may lack the strength to match your Qin Family, we are no docile lambs awaiting slaughter!"
Qin Tian responded with a cold laugh.
He said, "Since you are unwilling to comply, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
As he finished speaking, he raised his hand, releasing an overpowering aura from his palm.
Lin Zhentian and the others' expressions shifted sharply at the sight.
They understood this young man from the Qin Family was genuinely preparing to strike.
Lin Zhentian drew a deep breath and said solemnly, "Young Master Qin Tian, are you truly intent on becoming enemies with the Lin Family?"
Qin Tian smirked faintly in response.
He said, "It is not I who chooses this enmity with your Lin Family; rather, it is your Lin Family that refuses to yield, forcing opposition."
"If you turn over the treasure now, I might still consider sparing the Lin Family."
Lin Zhentian and the others' faces turned utterly ashen at Qin Tian's words.
