WDQK: Invincible with top-tier talent from the start

Chapter 50: Lin Fan's Proposal, Shock Among All Factions!

"A man like you has no place in the Lin family."

Lin Fan's expression remained calm. The pledge of loyalty from a Small Yuan Dan cultivator didn't waver his will in the slightest.

His Niwan Palace trembled—three sigils pulsed simultaneously. A surge of spiritual force erupted, forming a Blade of the Mind that slashed directly into the hawk-nosed elder's consciousness.

The elder had planned to strike as Lin Fan rejected him, but suddenly his mind was hit by searing pain. His thoughts froze.

Shlick!

Lin Fan waved his hand, and a Fragmented Yuansteel needle pierced the man's forehead with ease.

"You—!"

The elder only had time to utter one word, glaring at Lin Fan in hatred before his life ended.

With Gu Ying, Wei Tong, and now the hawk-nosed elder all dead, the remaining two to three dozen Bloodclad Sect members were swiftly subdued.

This time, Lin Zhentian did not hesitate.

"Kill them all!"

He had once spared the Xie family. That kindness led to Xie Yingying bringing the Bloodclad Sect to their doorstep.

If not for Lin Fan's breakthrough to Three-Seal Rune Master, the Lin family might have been wiped out.

He would not make the same mistake twice.

"Grandfather, wait!"

At that moment, Lin Fan stepped forward, halting Lin Zhentian's order.

Confused, Lin Zhentian asked, "What is it, Fan'er? Are you saying we shouldn't kill them?"

Lin Ken, Lin Xiao, and the others looked over, puzzled.

Lin Fan shook his head. "Those who offend the Lin family must die. I simply ask that we wait a bit longer before executing them."

Lin Xiao frowned. "Fan'er, if you've got something in mind, say it."

"I suggest we summon all factions of Qingyang Town here and publicly expose everything that happened with Xie Yingying and the Bloodclad Sect."

A faint smile played on Lin Fan's lips. "Then, before everyone's eyes, we execute Xie Yingying, kill the Bloodclad remnants, and completely erase the Xie family—not even chickens or dogs spared."

Indeed, amidst the chaos, Xie Yingying had somehow survived.

Lin Zhentian's eyes flashed. "And what's the purpose behind this?"

Lin Fan replied, "This way, everyone in Qingyang Town will understand that we are justified. The Xie family brought this upon themselves."

"More importantly, it will serve as a warning to all other factions—none shall dare provoke the Lin family again."

Lin Ken, Lin Mang, and Lin Xiao exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with approval.

Even the younger generation like Lin Xia and Lin Hong felt their blood surge with righteous heat.

After a brief pause, Lin Zhentian nodded. "Very well. We'll do it your way."

Then he gave out orders:

"Lin Ken, notify all the powers of Qingyang Town in my name. Tell them to come to Tiemu Manor."

"Lin Mang, gather all lightly wounded guards and treat the more heavily injured ones."

Of the family's core members, only Lin Ken and Lin Mang had minor injuries—so they were assigned the logistics.

"Yes, Father!"

The two responded in unison.

"And leave the Bloodclad Sect's corpses where they are for now," Lin Zhentian added.

"Yes!"

They immediately began making preparations.

"Lin Xiao, Fan'er, Dong'er—take this time to rest and recover," Lin Zhentian continued.

No one objected.

—

Two hours later, all of Qingyang Town's major factions had arrived at Tiemu Manor.

Even Luo Cheng, head of the Mad Blade Martial Hall, came personally.

The moment everyone saw the red-cloaked corpses scattered around the manor entrance, their hearts trembled.

Earlier that day, the Bloodclad Sect had marched in with overwhelming force. Wei Tong's voice had echoed throughout Qingyang Town.

Everyone thought the Lin family was finished.

Some even speculated that the Lin family had surrendered and pledged loyalty to the Bloodclad Sect—and that this gathering was at their request.

But now, staring at all the dead Bloodclad elites, everyone knew:

They were wrong.

The Lin family hadn't bowed down…

They had slaughtered the Bloodclad Sect.

But why had the Lin family summoned them all now?

Just then, Lin Zhentian appeared with Lin Xiao, Lin Fan, and the rest.

"Thank you all for coming," Lin Zhentian said, bowing slightly. "We've just survived a bloody battle. Please forgive the mess."

"Patriarch Lin is too courteous," the crowd responded politely, following him into the manor.

They were led to a spacious hall. Lin Zhentian had servants serve tea before addressing everyone with a calm smile:

"I'll get straight to the point."

"You all know about the Bloodclad Sect's assault on the Lin family. But what you don't know is that they were invited—by Xie Yingying."

Gasps and murmurs spread through the room.

Lin Zhentian clapped once. "Bring them in!"

Two guards dragged in Xie Yingying and Wei Hu.

Lin Zhentian looked at the crowd. "Do you know who this young man is?"

The room fell silent.

After a moment, Luo Cheng asked, "Patriarch Lin, who is he?"

"This," Lin Zhentian said with emphasis, "is Wei Hu, son of Wei Tong, the Sect Master of the Bloodclad Sect."

He then detailed how Xie Yingying seduced Wei Hu, convinced him of the Lin family's hidden treasure, and brought ruin upon her own town.

He explained how the Xie and Lei clans had previously targeted the Lin family, and how the Lin family had only retaliated when the Lei clan sent assassins after Lin Fan.

How the Xie family had joined in the attack—only to be destroyed.

"And I—soft-hearted old fool that I was—let the Xie family live," Lin Zhentian said bitterly.

"But in the end, that mercy brought today's disaster."

At that moment, Wei Hu shouted:

"It was her! That filthy woman bewitched me! Please, Patriarch Lin, spare me!"

Lin Zhentian ignored him.

He looked to the gathered leaders and asked:

"Xie Yingying colluded with the Bloodclad Sect and nearly brought my family to ruin. If not for my grandson's timely breakthrough, we would all be dead."

"So we've decided—to wipe out the Xie family completely. Leave no survivors."

"Gentlemen, what say you?"
