Chapter 142: The Families of Donghua Continent and the Su Family Band Together

"Roar!"

As soon as the words fell, a monster resembling an ape, a hundred zhang tall, manifested behind Lin Taian, and then it let out a roar at the crowd.

"Ah! It's a Venerable Rank martial soul—the Tongtian Giant Ape!"

A cultivator below recognized the origin of the monster and exclaimed in terror, immediately hiding behind the crowd.

And following his scream, the other cultivators of the Donghua Continent also reacted, staring at Lin Taian on the Flying Boat with horror.

"Hehe..."

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, the corners of Lin Taian's mouth curled up, revealing a trace of mockery.

"Roar!"

Following that, the Tongtian Giant Ape opened its blood-red maw, let out a deafening roar, and slammed its chest, erupting with a thunderous boom.

The power of its sound waves was terrifying; wherever it passed, the air vibrated violently, forming layers of visible shockwaves that spread outward.

Under the ravages of this shockwave, many cultivators with low cultivation were directly blown away.

"Oh my, Head of the Family Lin, are you getting anxious already?"

Seeing this, Qin Xinran could not help but chuckle, shaking her jade finger, and mocked: "As the head of a great family, how can you be so narrow-minded?"

"Matriarch of the Su Family, today, you must lead the entire Su Family to surrender to my Lin Family, otherwise, don't blame this old man for being ruthless and wiping out your Su Family!"

"Hehe! Just by relying on you?"

Hearing this, Qin Xinran glanced at Lin Taian indifferently, her mouth hanging with disdain and mockery, "Head of the Family Lin, although your Lin Family is very strong, my Su Family is a super family of the Donghua Continent, and our strength is not inferior to your Lin Family in the slightest. What qualifications do you have to threaten me?"

Her tone was incomparably calm, completely disregarding the Lin Family.

"Hahaha, don't think this old man doesn't know that your Su Family is currently in a hollow state, and all your power has been taken away by your son, Su Chen."

Lin Taian looked up and laughed wildly, continuing: "So, your Su Family is now at the end of its rope, why bother struggling in vain?"

A cold, murderous intent flickered in his eyes, "If you surrender obediently now, perhaps you can still retain some dignity and not look too unsightly."

"Hehe. Head of the Family Lin, do you really think my Su Family is as brainless as you say?"

Qin Xinran suddenly sneered, cold, icy glints flashing in her beautiful eyes, and mocked: "If I told you that my Su Family has set up a net waiting for you to drill into it, would you still dare to go?"

Seeing this, Lin Taian's pupils shrank, and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible? You must be bluffing!"

Qin Xinran shook her head and said disappointedly: "Head of the Family Lin, it is a waste that you have drifted in the Central Province for decades, yet you are so dull. No wonder your Lin Family has remained stagnant all these years under your hand."

Pausing, she continued: "If you don't believe it, then follow me into the Su Family and take a look. I would like to see who is putting on an act here."

Having said that, she led Nan Batian and a group of Donghua Continent cultivators toward the Su Family.

"Hmph, the Su Family? This old man would like to see what kind of tricks your Su Family is playing."

Watching Qin Xinran's receding graceful figure, Lin Taian sneered, a trace of gravity flashing deep in his eyes.

However, he did not follow Qin Xinran.

"Father, let's hurry and chase after them, and wipe them out directly! That way, all the families in the Donghua Continent will belong to our Lin Family."

Seeing Lin Taian hesitating, Lin Feng urged him hurriedly.

Lin Taian shook his head, his expression serious: "Feng'er, haste makes waste. Our Lin Family has come out almost in full force this time, so we must be steady and solid; we cannot afford the slightest mistake, understand?"

He was meticulous and considered things very comprehensively; plus, being naturally suspicious, he worried that the Su Family had truly set a trap, so he chose a steady strategy to first figure out the specific situation of the Su Family before taking action.

Just now, he carefully observed the expression on Qin Xinran's face when she spoke and found that there was not a trace of panic, so he became even more cautious in his heart.

After all, the Su Family has stood in the Donghua Continent for millions of years, and with such a long heritage, it is definitely not just a name; he had to be on guard.

"This child understands."

Lin Feng nodded unwillingly, "But Father, you must capture Qin Xinran early. This woman is simply too overbearing; this child will definitely make her taste the power of my Great Treasure Sword."

"En."

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Lin Taian's eyes, and after pondering for a moment, he nodded.

————————

Nan Batian and a group of Donghua Continent cultivators followed behind Qin Xinran and arrived at the Su Family.

When they saw that the personnel inside the Su Family were sparse, a thick look of astonishment appeared on everyone's faces.

"Matriarch of the Su Family, the vast Su Family only has a few hundred people left. What is going on?"

Nan Batian was stunned, then frowned and asked.

He had originally thought that the Su Family had made full preparations and was specifically waiting here to fight the Lin Family, but now it seemed completely different from what he had expected.

"Sigh."

Hearing this, Qin Xinran sighed softly and explained: "My Chen'er took most of the Su Family's people outside, but they are on their way back now. I believe they will arrive soon. As long as we hold out until he returns, that will be the day the Lin Family is destroyed."

Her face was resolute, her gaze burning, and she was full of fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Nan Batian and the others nodded secretly, feeling the confidence radiating from Qin Xinran.

"Matriarch of the Su Family, my life, Nan Batian, was saved by you, and since the Lin Family and I are irreconcilable enemies, I am willing to lead all the Prefecture Army to come and help the Su Family."

Nan Batian bowed solemnly and said.

The Su Family was in such extreme danger, and he wanted to use this to provide timely help to repay Qin Xinran's life-saving grace.

Hearing this, Qin Xinran was overjoyed and bowed in return: "On behalf of the Su Family, I thank you, Prefect, for your help!"

Nan Batian turned to the crowd and said: "Everyone, the Lin Family of the Central Province has always been arrogant and domineering. This time they brought an army of one hundred thousand to invade our Donghua Continent. After they destroy the Su Family, will they spare you?"

Once these words were spoken, the Donghua Continent cultivators present changed their expressions one after another, revealing looks of terror.

"The Prefect is right, the Lin Family will definitely take advantage of the situation to pocket our families!" a cultivator echoed.

"If we don't unite to resist the enemy, we are likely in grave danger."

"Yes, only by uniting together will we have a chance to win and wait for the Young Master of the Su Family to return with the army!"

At this moment, many people finally realized.

That's right, if they were Lin Taian, after easily destroying the Su Family, they would definitely pocket the families within the Donghua Prefecture.

After all, who would complain about having too much power in their hands?

Everyone present was a Head of the Family or a high-ranking member of their respective clans; they were all shrewd, and they would understand the logic behind this just by thinking about it.

"This old man has long been displeased with that Lin Taian and his son; my Jiang Family is willing to contribute our meager strength for the Su Family and for our Donghua Continent."

Jiang Huai stepped forward, being the first to stand out and declare support for the Su Family.
