The fiery sunset gradually descended.
Lin Hao, Xiao Hei, and his junior sister Lin Qingxin entered the Lin family's mansion.
Upon entering, they saw people from the Xu, Wei, and Yang families everywhere.
The three families stared intently at Lin Hao, as if they wanted to devour him.
Lin Hao paid them no mind and walked slowly inside.
He reached the front of the main hall.
In the three grand chairs above the hall sat three old men.
One was thin, carrying a long sword on his back. Another was broad and sturdy, with a full beard. The third wore a long robe and had a wispy white beard, exuding an air of immortal grace.
The three men had distinct auras, but all were renowned masters.
Although Lin Hao had never met them, he could tell from their appearance and demeanor.
The thin old man with the sword on his back was likely the Xu family's ancestor, Xu Yi Jian.
The broad, bearded old man in the middle was probably the Wei family's ancestor, Wei Wei.
And the one on the side, dressed in a green robe with an immortal air, was likely the Yang family's ancestor, Yang Wu Di.
Looking at the three sitting above the hall, Lin Hao nodded slightly as a form of greeting.
However, Lin Hao's manner of greeting infuriated younger members like Wei Chu, Yang Tian, and Xu Jie.
Their ancestors were figures of immense stature. For Lin Hao to not even pay his respects, but merely nod as a greeting, was beyond arrogant.
It was utterly presumptuous.
But since the ancestors remained silent, their anger was suppressed, and they dared not speak out.
"Kid, you suit my taste quite well." Wei Wei, seated in the middle, disregarded Lin Hao's disrespect and chuckled heartily, looking at Lin Hao.
"I heard you've been expelled from the Lin family. How about this: come to our Wei family and take me as your master?"
Wei Wei looked at Lin Hao, finding him more and more like his younger self.
Especially his stance, that aura of not taking anyone seriously, was exactly like his own in his youth.
He had thought his Invincible Samsara Fist would have no successor.
Now, seeing Lin Hao, he knew his Invincible Samsara Fist had found its heir.
Although the Wei family had many descendants, unfortunately, none could inherit his Invincible Samsara Fist technique.
This was because to cultivate this fist technique, one first needed that kind of arrogant aura that disregarded everything.
In contrast, among the many young disciples of the Wei family, not a single one possessed this aura of utter disregard.
As Wei Wei pondered these thoughts, feeling very satisfied with Lin Hao.
The Wei family members who heard Wei Wei's words had their expressions change drastically.
Especially Wei Chu.
He looked sharply at his ancestor, Wei Wei, as if he had seen a ghost.
Seeing that his ancestor was not in a state of madness, Wei Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But as he relaxed, a sense of confusion filled his heart.
He had called his ancestor here for revenge, and also to uphold the Wei family's honor.
Yet now, his own ancestor wanted to take Lin Hao as a disciple?
What was going on?
After all, his ancestor only occasionally guided the Wei family's younger generation, never having expressed a desire to take a disciple or pass down skills.
Now, in front of so many people, his ancestor directly stated he wanted to take Lin Hao as a disciple.
If Lin Hao truly became his ancestor's disciple, given the ancestor's protective nature, wouldn't they be finished in an instant?
As Wei Chu and the Wei family members looked at their ancestor Wei Wei with utter bewilderment.
Others also looked at Wei Wei with confusion.
Only the Yang family ancestor, Yang Wu Di, and the Xu family ancestor, Xu Yi Jian, remained composed, as if they knew Wei Wei's intentions.
However, Lin Hao, who had also heard the words, calmly replied, "No need for disciples. If you want to fight, then stop dawdling and make your move."
"Right, all three of you can come at me together, to save time."
Lin Hao's words were like a bomb thrown into the crowd, instantly igniting a frenzy.
Almost instantly, everyone stared at Lin Hao, dumbfounded, their eyes filled with disbelief.
At the same time, many felt Lin Hao had gone mad.
Or perhaps he was driven insane by the three masters, the Xu family ancestor, the Wei family ancestor, and the Yang family ancestor.
Otherwise, Lin Hao wouldn't have uttered such nonsensical words.
For three masters to attack together, in all their lives, no one present had ever heard of a master duel where one party invited the opponents to attack simultaneously.
If they were merely internal energy martial artists, it would be one thing.
But these were masters.
One master combined with another was not simply two masters; it was a multiplication of their power.
Let alone three masters acting in concert.
If this Lin Hao was not insane, then he was simply courting death.
Just as everyone thought Lin Hao had lost his mind, the three masters who heard Lin Hao's words were also momentarily stunned.
Immediately after, Xu Yi Jian and Yang Wu Di frowned deeply.
Even Wei Wei, who had wanted to take Lin Hao as a disciple, couldn't help but furrow his brow.
It was good for a young person to have the arrogance and courage to disregard everything.
But one must not be blindly arrogant.
Now, with the three of them together, even a grandmaster at the peak of Huajin would not dare to suggest they attack together.
Let alone Lin Hao, who didn't even know what the master realm was like.
Wei Wei, Xu Yi Jian, and Yang Wu Di had come this time with the intention of playing around, and then making a brief display of their strength to deter certain families and factions with ulterior motives.
This was to prevent those families and factions from constantly stirring up trouble, always thinking they were dead, or that they had grown old and immobile.
But unexpectedly, before they could even display their power to deter, they were "deterred" by Lin Hao.
Wei Wei shook his head, then looked at Lin Hao and said, "Kid, having pride and confidence is a good thing, but you must never be blindly arrogant."
"Do you know who the people sitting before you are?"
"To put it bluntly, let alone the three of us joining forces, even if I acted alone, a single palm strike could kill you."
"How about this: if you can withstand ten of my palm strikes, then this battle today will be considered your victory, what do you say?"
Upon Wei Wei's words, the expressions of Wei Chu, Xu Jie, and Yang Tian changed drastically.
They had initially thought Lin Hao was doomed today, and they would skin him and pull his tendons.
But they never expected such a turn of events.
Thinking of this, Yang Tian and Xu Jie looked at Wei Chu, their eyes filled with resentment.
At the same time, Lin Hao, listening to Wei Wei's words, nodded and said, "Good!"
