Chapter 682: Irreconcilable!

WHOOSH!

As soon as Lin Mu’s words fell, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.

"Five minutes to get out here and see me? Did I hear that right? Do you have any idea how serious those words are?"

"Audacious!"

"Insolent!"

"Such impudence from a mere boy!"

Indeed, no sooner had Lin Mu finished speaking than the members of the Qin Family erupted in fury.

Who was Qin Chuan? He was the very face of the Demon City Qin Family. He was the true backbone that allowed the Qin Family to stand unyielding in Demon City. He was a Martial Arts Grandmaster who had been famous for many years! Moreover, he was just over thirty this year!

Even Lin Wudi, hailed as the number one figure in the martial arts world today, would not dare speak so recklessly in front of Qin Chuan.

"Kid, you have no regard for anyone!" Qin Jianlin looked at Lin Mu coldly, his tone icy. "So what if you are the Chief Instructor of the Jinan Military Region? Do you really think our Qin Family is a pushover?"

"Enough nonsense. Hand her over!" Lin Mu gave no ground, his eyes filled with chilling murderous intent. "Otherwise, I won’t mind slaughtering you."

"You’ve gone too far, Lin!" Qin Youwei was pressed to the ground, but her face was filled with a cold sneer and bitter resentment. "I advise you to release me at once, then kneel and apologize to me! Otherwise..."

"Hmm?" Lin Mu raised an eyebrow, looking at her indifferently. "Otherwise, what?"

"Otherwise, I’ll have you killed, of course!" Qin Youwei said proudly. "Perhaps you don’t know that my Qin Family has stood firm in Demon City for many years. We have connections everywhere! A member of my family even holds the title of Honorary Elder in the Martial Alliance!"

"Even if you really are some Chief Instructor, would you dare defy the Martial Alliance?"

No one thought Qin Youwei was lying. The old Clan Leader of the Qin Family had been granted the title of Honorary Elder by the Martial Alliance years ago. And his status was extremely high. Even the current Martial Alliance Leader, Ye Kuangren, must address Clan Leader Qin as his senior.

The reason was that the Qin Clan Chief’s title of Honorary Elder was personally bestowed by the previous Alliance Hierarch of the Martial Alliance. And that former Alliance Hierarch was Qin Chuan’s personal martial uncle, which meant Qin Chuan and Martial Alliance Leader Ye Kuangren were martial brothers from the same sect.

This was why the Qin Family was not afraid of Lin Mu.

"Afraid now?" Qin Youwei sneered. "If you’re scared, then let me go immediately. Otherwise, you’ll regret it!"

"I had intended to let you live a little longer. Unfortunately, you venomous woman, you’re too foolish to know what’s good for you!" Lin Mu shook his head slightly. "Your vision is too narrow and your knowledge too shallow. You have no idea that since I dared to come here, I fear neither your Qin Family nor your so-called Martial Alliance!"

"Kill her!" Lin Mu commanded coldly with a wave of his hand. "If anyone dares to interfere, kill them too!"

The murderous tone instantly lowered the temperature of the entire Qin Family Manor.

"Yes, sir!" Jiaolong acknowledged the order and moved to act.

"Stop!"

Just then, an angry voice echoed from afar.

Immediately, everyone saw a figure speeding toward them from a distance at an incredible velocity, leaving a trail of afterimages in mid-air. Only when the figure drew close could they see it was an old man in a purple robe.

"It’s Elder Yang from the Martial Alliance!"

"Why is he here?!"

Elder Yang of the Martial Alliance was a master on the verge of becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

"Haha, Elder Yang is here!"

The members of the Qin Family were overjoyed. Qin Jianlin laughed. "You want to kill my daughter? In your dreams!"

"You might not know this, but today is a joyous occasion for my Qin Family. Elder Yang of the Martial Alliance has come in person to offer his congratulations. He is also here to preside over the battle between the Dragon of the Qin Family and that Lin Wudi," Qin Jianlin said with pride. "Did you really think that with the military region’s backing, our Qin Family had no way to deal with you? What a pipe dream!"

The crowd sighed inwardly.

It’s true.

What could Lin Mu do, even as a Chief Instructor? The strength of the current Martial Alliance was beyond doubt. When a Martial Alliance Elder personally intervened, even the bigwigs of the Military Department had to show some respect. Besides, given Lin Mu’s age, who in the Military Department would possibly stand up for him?

"Instructor Lin, I presume?"

As expected, upon his arrival, Elder Yang glanced at Lin Mu with an indifferent expression. "I am an Elder of the Martial Alliance," he said. "How about you give this old man some face and we let this matter drop?"

Elder Yang was stationed in Demon City year-round to handle its affairs, so he didn’t understand the relationship between Lin Mu and the Martial Alliance, nor was he aware that they had already sought Lin Mu’s cooperation. His tone was devoid of any warmth. Clearly, he was siding with the Qin Family.

"Who do you think you are, to be worthy of me giving you face?" Lin Mu snorted. "Scram if you don’t want to die."

You should always stay away from people who advise you to be magnanimous without understanding the situation. Otherwise, when lightning strikes them for their foolishness, you’ll be caught in the blast.

"Insolence!" Elder Yang retorted, enraged. "You junior! I only call you ’Instructor’ out of respect for Kong Lin. Otherwise, you are nothing!"

"Xiao Tian, kill him!" Lin Mu commanded with a cold wave of his hand.

"Yes!"

As soon as Lin Mu spoke, a figure shot out, launching a punch toward Elder Yang.

"Hm?" Elder Yang’s expression changed. "You dare attack a Martial Alliance Elder? You’re courting death!"

Furious, Elder Yang unleashed his energy and threw a punch of his own. He was an expert on the verge of becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster; dealing with a few small fries should have been a simple matter.

However, what happened next shocked everyone.

Shi Potian appeared before Elder Yang in a flash, his fist shattering Elder Yang’s punch. Without losing any momentum, his fist slammed into Elder Yang’s chest.

PUH!

A mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips as Elder Yang was sent flying. Before he could even hit the ground, a large hand clamped around his neck.

"You..."

Just as Elder Yang was about to speak, Shi Potian snorted and squeezed hard, instantly snapping his neck.

A revered Elder of the Martial Alliance—dead!

HISS!

Seeing Shi Potian kill a Martial Alliance Elder without a shred of hesitation, everyone sucked in a cold breath.

"How... how could he dare?"

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at Shi Potian, a chill running up their spines.

But Shi Potian’s expression was calm, as if he had just done something utterly insignificant.

If Elder Brother Mu said kill, then I kill. It doesn’t matter who they are.

Meanwhile, Qin Youwei watched this in a daze. Before she could react, she felt a cold sensation on her neck. Her head flew from her shoulders, and blood sprayed across the ground.

THUD.

The head of Qin Youwei, who moments ago had been so imperiously arrogant, rolled to a stop at Qin Jianlin’s feet, her eyes wide with shock.

"You..." Qin Jianlin watched in disbelief, feeling as if his chest would explode with rage.

"The five minutes are up," Lin Mu commanded, his expression frigid. "Kill them all!"

"Kill!"

Shi Potian sprang out again, grabbing a Qin Family disciple and twisting his neck with brutal force.

CRACK!

The disciple’s head snapped around at an impossible angle, hanging limply from his shoulders.

"Lin Mu!" Qin Jianlin’s face turned crimson as he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood from pure rage. "You dare kill my daughter! From this day on, the Qin Family and you are sworn enemies!"
