Chapter 268: Invitation from the Heavenly Martial Hall

He swallowed his saliva and said to Lin Yang.

"You... you can't kill me."

"If you kill me, you'll be utterly humiliating the Ke Clan."

Lin Yang gave a cold chuckle and walked toward Wang Chao.

Wang Chao knew this feeble excuse couldn't be his reason to live.

Seeing Lin Yang approach ever closer, he gritted his teeth and shouted.

"This is you forcing me!"

Just as Lin Yang thought he was about to make some big move,

Wang Chao plopped down onto his knees.

"I have elders above and children below; please spare me!"

"I'm willing to go to the Ke Clan as your inside man!"

Looking at Wang Chao kneeling and begging, Lin Yang found it amusing.

After holding it in for so long, he finally unleashed this big move...

"There's no need for you to be an inside man; just go on your way peacefully."

Having said that, he sealed his throat with a single sword.

The warriors Wang Chao had brought inside wanted to flee.

"Think you can get away?"

Lin Yang vanished from the spot.

Soon, muffled groans sounded one after another.

Several more corpses lay on the ground.

The shareholders present, seeing this, turned their gazes to Lin Yang, their eyes full of fear.

They feared driving away the wolf only to swallow the tiger, but Lin Yang was even more ruthless.

Lin Yang glanced at them, gave a heh heh laugh, and said to Wei Ying.

"I'll leave this matter to you to handle; I'm heading out first."

"Okay."

Watching Lin Yang's retreating back, Wei Ying's gaze was complex.

Since Lin Yang killed a few of them in the southwest, the Ke Clan has quietly sent people to retrieve the bodies and caused no further trouble.

Lin Yang stayed at home, watching the news from Jinling, and couldn't help but frown.

"The Ke Clan really can endure."

"They claimed their two sons died of sudden heart disease and a car accident."

At that moment, Lu Linglong and An Ni Shang sat to his left and right, and the two women said.

"Family disgrace shouldn't be aired; regarding their sons being killed, they don't want more people to know."

Lin Yang thought that made sense.

The Ke Clan are first-rate aristocrats in Jinling; their sons were killed.

They can't do anything about this enemy of theirs, so of course they won't publicize it.

Just as Lin Yang was thinking, An Ni Shang suddenly picked up a tablet and walked over to him.

"Lin Yang, look, Ke Jiuming has spoken."

On the video, Ke Jiuming said in an interview with reporters.

"As for the hit‑and‑run culprit, I've caught him—I will surely make him pay a heavy price!"

These words made everyone curious: just who is the hit‑and‑run culprit?

And Lin Yang, who knew the score, realized Ke Jiuming was just issuing harsh threats at him.

He gave a cold chuckle and took out paper and pen.

"Come spring, when flowers bloom, I will surely take your head!"

"Linglong, give this passage to Jiang Guosheng and have him deliver it to Ke Jiuming!"

"Okay!"

Not long after Lu Linglong went out with the items, a knocking sounded at the door.

Lin Yang raised his eyebrows and said.

"Did she forget to take something?"

An Ni Shang walked toward the door, smiling.

"Sister Linglong, you've forgotten to take something again, huh."

Just as the door opened, a strange man stood outside.

The man was tall and slender, dressed all in white.

At the moment the door opened, Lin Yang stood in front of An Ni Shang.

The man saw Lin Yang suddenly standing before An Ni Shang, and his pupils contracted.

He sized up Lin Yang, then nodded and said.

"Indeed, you're unfathomable—no wonder you could single‑handedly overturn our Heavenly Martial Hall."

"Heavenly Martial Hall?"

Lin Yang then recalled that he had a grudge with the Heavenly Martial Hall.

However, they've been out of sight for a while.

"How did they suddenly appear again?"

Do you have business with me?

Our Hall Master wants to invite you tonight to have a meal at our Heavenly Martial Hall headquarters.

Let us write off our previous grudges.

Lin Yang heard this, let out a light laugh, and said.

Sure.

The man clasped his fists and said.

Tonight, we await your esteemed arrival.

Having said that, he turned and left.

After the man left, An Ni Shang said.

I heard from my dad that the Heavenly Martial Hall is special; it's an extralegal organization.

Even the law cannot control them.

You previously trampled on the Heavenly Martial Hall's face; if they summon you, it surely won't be good—you'd better not go.

Lin Yang heard this, gave a hehe laugh, and said.

It's just a Heavenly Martial Hall; it's no big deal.

I won't be eating at home tonight; remember to tell Feiyan sister.

Seeing that Lin Yang had already decided to go, An Ni Shang did not stop him further.

At night, Lin Yang went alone to the Heavenly Martial Hall headquarters.

At this moment, the Heavenly Martial Hall headquarters had already changed its signboard.

The people at the door had also been replaced by two middle-aged men.

The middle-aged men had fierce gazes; ordinary people would be afraid just seeing them, let alone approaching.

Lin Yang appeared at the entrance and sized up the Heavenly Martial Hall.

Impressive, the Heavenly Martial Hall still has someone capable of setting up formations.

Unfortunately, it's too crude.

Lin Yang gave a soft laugh and walked toward the main gate.

Hold it, whoever comes.

The two middle-aged men simultaneously raised their hands to block Lin Yang's entry.

Lin Yang glanced at the two of them.

Your Hall Master invited me.

Please put down your weapon.

Lin Yang grabbed backhandedly and thrust his long sword forcefully into the ground.

Now can I go in?

The two men broke out in cold sweat; they hadn't even seen clearly how the long sword appeared in Lin Yang's hand.

The two hesitated for a moment, then reached out and said.

Please enter.

Lin Yang entered the Heavenly Martial Hall headquarters.

After he entered, the two approached the long sword.

One reached out, trying to pull out the long sword.

But at this moment, no matter how hard they tried, the long sword remained immovable.

Even if the two worked together, they still could not pull it out.

While they were pulling on the long sword, Lin Yang passed through the garden and came to the reception hall.

In the reception hall at that time, besides the white-clothed man from earlier, there were three middle-aged men and an old man.

The old man sat in the seat of honor, and the three middle-aged men sat on either side.

The white-clothed man stood behind the old man, silent.

After Lin Yang entered, the four simultaneously turned their gazes toward him.

The old man spoke first, letting out a great shout.

Good, indeed a hero emerges from youth; no wonder you can suppress our entire Heavenly Martial Hall alone!

Young friend, come in and sit.

Lin Yang entered the room, looking at the old man, gave a hehe laugh, strode in boldly, and sat at the table.

He had just sat down when the old man spoke loudly.

Lin Yang, you killed our Heavenly Martial Hall elder and damaged our Heavenly Martial Hall's prestige!

What are your intentions!

The old man stared at Lin Yang with a burning gaze, as did the other three.

Lin Yang, unhurried, took a sip of wine and said to the three.

Whoever touches my reverse scale, I will kill them.

Even if it's your chief hall master, I will still kill them!

As soon as his words fell, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, as if a single disagreement would lead to fighting.

The old man stared at Lin Yang and said in a low voice.

You really have confidence, taking on all four of us at once?

You outsiders from Jinling, do you have confidence to deal with me?

The four narrowed their eyes, cold light flashing in their eyes.
