Chapter 102

Lin Hai's smile came from the bottom of his heart.

Although he was very surprised to face the visitors, after the identity check was completed, he appeared exceptionally excited.

"Elder Lin Hai, there's no need to call each other brothers; it's just that we came here this time with some matters we intend to discuss with you."

The old man called Lin Jiang stood up, his face carrying a slight smile.

But in his pair of turbid eyes, a thick greed was surging.

The visitors were Lin Family members from Chihuo Province.

A hundred years ago, the Kyoto Lin Family encountered an incident, and many branches were separated and scattered in various places, developing on their own and never having contact again.

Therefore, the Ziyun City Lin Family did not even know that there were people of the same root in Chihuo Province.

Lin Zhengshang had torn the genealogy apart to the side before finally confirming that the people in front of them were indeed people of the same root as the Lin Family.

"Elder Lin Jiang, please speak?" Lin Hai smiled.

They were all their own people; if they had any difficulties, they would help if they could.

The Lin Family could not be said to be very bad to outsiders, but to their own people, they were absolutely very good.

"My Lin Family in Chihuo Province is the number one family; now we are developing smoothly, and we are not lacking in any aspect, but rather have quite a surplus."

Lin Jiang narrowed his eyes; his hair was white, and he looked quite like an immortal.

At the same time, the spirit Qi on his body quietly dissipated; just revealing a trace of it made the three Lin Family members' expressions shake.

This Lin Jiang was actually a powerhouse of the Eighth Level of the Dao Comprehension Realm!

No wonder they could become the number one family in Chihuo Province; such strength was much more powerful than the three great families of Leiling Province!

The other two elders accompanying Lin Jiang were also powerhouses of the Seventh Level of the Dao Comprehension Realm.

Such a force was indeed very strong.

"Then you all must be very strong!" Lin Zhengshang said with a loud laugh.

The Chihuo Province Lin Family was so prosperous; as people of the same clan, Lin Zhengshang was naturally happy.

But that Lin Jiang frowned; he did not like people interrupting his words.

Only to see him continue: "Although we have become the number one family, there are always shortcomings, for example... the Blessed Land."

When the words reached this point, Lin Hai and Lin Zhengshang's expressions stiffened.

The newly appointed Second Elder Jiang Xiaoxue's pretty face became slightly solemn; she had already guessed the purpose of these people's visit.

But after all, it was the Lin Family's internal affairs, so she could not speak first.

"Chihuo Province is a precious land, much stronger than Leiling Province; you should look carefully, perhaps you can find a Blessed Land!" Lin Hai smiled slightly.

Lin Jiang shook his head; he no longer wasted his breath and went straight to the point: "My Chihuo Province Lin Family currently has two ideas; one is for our two families to swap places."

Once these words were out, the truth was revealed.

"My Chihuo Province Lin Family has already become the number one family, and the industries we control are countless; you go there and take over everything, and I don't want a single bit."

"Of course, we want to relocate here and develop in Leiling Province in the future."

This suggestion made Lin Hai and Lin Zhengshang's faces turn cold.

In the end, it was still for the Blessed Land.

And this proposal was too absurd; swapping territories, where they were unfamiliar with the place, why should the Ziyun City Lin Family go?

Most importantly, Chihuo Province did not have a Zilai Blessed Land.

"Elder Lin Jiang, you are joking."

Lin Hai shook his head slowly; his tone toward Lin Jiang became slightly colder.

If they were not of the same root and clan, they would have already fallen out.

"Great Elder, I said they wouldn't agree," the two people beside Lin Jiang said.

"Swapping territories is already very ridiculous; if it were me, I wouldn't swap either!"

Clearly, they also knew this proposal was a fantasy and could not be realized at all.

So Lin Jiang immediately smiled and proposed the second point.

"Since that's the case, I do have another idea."

Lin Jiang stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of arrogance.

"From now on, our two families will merge directly; we are originally of the same root and source, and a hundred years ago we were all one family; what does it matter if we split up now!"

"This matter is settled."

Hearing this, Lin Hai's expression became increasingly solemn.

He took a deep breath, a look of annoyance appearing in his eyes.

He had thought this Lin Family came over to ask for some help at most, and giving some spirit stones and pills would have sent them away.

But now they were eyeing the Zilai Blessed Land.

And they were even demanding the merger of the two families.

All kinds of demands were unquestionable, completely looking like they had eaten the Ziyun City Lin Family.

Even if they were one family, Lin Hai could not stand this attitude.

"Let's wait on this matter; we haven't agreed yet!"

Lin Hai was indifferent, and there was no last bit of respect in his tone.

"Merging two families is a big matter; after the merger, who will be the Great Elder and who will be the Great Elder? How will the two Clan Leaders get along? All these things haven't been discussed; what's the hurry?"

Lin Hai stated his attitude.

If the Chihuo Province Lin Family couldn't survive and planned to defect to Ziyun City, that would be easy to talk about.

But if it was to forcibly merge the two families for the sake of the Zilai Blessed Land, that wouldn't do!

"What's there to talk about? My Chihuo Province Lin Family is the number one big clan; now that we have come to merge with you, of course, it is with me as the leader."

Lin Jiang waved his sleeve, his face full of a matter-of-course expression.

"However, considering your Lin Family also has elders, how about this: from now on, the position of Clan Leader and the positions of the top three elders will all belong to my Lin Family, and the rest of the elder and executor identities can be taken by your Lin Family!"

Lin Jiang's attitude was like he was giving alms.

When he said this, he even made Lin Zhengshang laugh out of anger.

"Lin Jiang, you really know how to calculate!"

"You are so generous, giving us some side positions, and then you have a righteous expression; aren't you just eating us up?"

"This is not a merger, this is an annexation!" Lin Zhengshang said with a gloomy face.

As Lin Zhengshang finished speaking, the three people on Lin Jiang's side sank their faces.

"We are all of the same clan; saying annexation doesn't sound good!" Lin Jiang said coldly.

"Our status is vastly different, and the strength gap is obvious; we Lin Family are willing to annex you, which is already giving you face; from now on, leading you to become the number one family in Leiling Province, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Lin Jiang and the others clearly did not understand the situation in Leiling Province.

They only knew that Ziyun City had a Zilai Blessed Land, so they opened their mouths like lions, wanting to come and annex them.

If they had understood the details of the Ziyun City Lin Family, they would probably not have been able to say these words.

"Hehe," Lin Hai sneered, "Number one family?"

"Our Lin Family does not welcome you, this number one family; please go back, and don't mention the matter of annexation again!"

Lin Hai made a gesture to see them out.

But the three of them did not intend to leave.

"Lin Hai, don't be ungrateful!"

"We are giving you face for the sake of being of the same root and source!"

"If not, the small Ziyun City Lin Family could be destroyed with a wave of a hand!"

The Chihuo Province group's faces were gloomy to the extreme; they never expected that this matter would not be negotiated.

"Get out!"

Lin Hai was enraged and roared.

He had thought they were family, but he didn't expect them to be wolves!

The Lin Family was never afraid of trouble; if this group from Chihuo Province wanted to take action, Lin Hai would never retreat.

"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" Lin Jiang shouted.

Only to see him raise his palm, intending to take action directly, when he saw a young man walk over.

"So lively? Didn't you say people of the same clan came? Why did the talk turn out like this?"
