Lin Qingbei nodded slightly. Since his grandfather had said so, he couldn't say much more, but for some reason, he still felt a little worried.
Not long after, Shangguan Yun, along with several disciples, arrived before the Lin family members.
"Brother Shangguan!"
The Lin family head clasped his fists and smiled, "How about we depart now?"
"No problem!"
Shangguan Yun said, "To prevent any stragglers from the Bai family, I've also brought a few sect disciples!"
"Thank you, Brother Shangguan!" The Lin family head nodded repeatedly, showing great gratitude.
Not long after, they arrived at Baishui City. Before even entering, they had already surrounded Baishui City so tightly that no one could easily enter or leave.
On the streets of Baishui City, the Lin family members swaggered towards the direction of the Bai family, their demeanor sharp and imposing.
"What's going on? Wasn't the Lin family kicked out? Why are they back, and seemingly looking for trouble with the Bai family!"
"Who says not! Wasn't the Lin family scared enough last time?"
"Don't talk nonsense! If the Lin family hears you, you might be in for a lot of trouble!"
Conversations continued, and everyone was very confused. Under normal circumstances, the Lin family shouldn't be here.
Meanwhile, in the Bai family mansion, a man rushed in and reported, "Patriarch, it's bad! The Lin family has arrived!"
At these words, the Bai family head frowned, "How many people? They have quite the nerve to break their promise!"
Bai Xiaoqing's expression also changed. He never expected the Bai family to break their promise and return to Baishui City. This was simply unbearable.
"They really have a lot of nerve!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, his dissatisfaction evident. He had spared the Lin family last time, and instead of repenting, they dared to step into Baishui City. How could he tolerate this?
Just as he turned, two figures were kicked flying, crashing into the Bai family courtyard.
At this very moment, the Bai family head's expression was cold as he looked out towards the courtyard.
"Brother Bai, I hope you are well!"
The Lin family head clasped his fists and sneered, "I imagine you're quite surprised why I'm back?"
"Last time the Lin family was defeated, I spared your lives, yet you show no remorse!" the Bai family head said coldly, "Do you truly wish to be enemies with my Bai family?"
"What a joke! Within Baishui City, my Lin family is the leader. When did it become your Bai family's turn to speak!"
Lin Qingbei said coldly, "Now that you're in this predicament, you should understand what I'm saying! If the Bai family obediently leaves Baishui City, perhaps there's still a sliver of hope!"
"What, you weren't taught a lesson last time?"
Lu Fan stepped forward, his gaze turning cold as he looked at everyone present.
"Brother Shangguan, it's this brat!"
The Lin family head said, "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been in such a sorry state, and the Lin family wouldn't have had to retreat!"
Shangguan Yun nodded slightly and then looked at Lu Fan, "Young brother, you are young but have an extraordinary demeanor. Why get involved in the conflict between two great families? If you leave now, I won't make things difficult for you!"
"What a joke!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "Who do you think you are? Or perhaps you think too highly of yourself!"
Shangguan Yun's expression changed instantly, a killing intent rising within him. Within Baishui City, and even in the Misty Sect, no one dared to speak to him like this. How could he tolerate it?
"This is an elder from the Misty Sect. You brat have a lot of nerve to dare oppose an elder!"
A man spoke out, "If you're sensible, surrender obediently, otherwise, we'll make you pay!"
"Hmph!"
Lu Fan snorted coldly, "I never expected the Lin family to break their promise and bring in experts. It seems they are prepared for a fight to the death!"
The Bai family head's expression was grave. He knew very well what the Misty Sect was and that he couldn't control them. The Bai family could absolutely not afford to be enemies with the Misty Sect.
"Elder Shangguan, this is a grievance between the Bai family and the Lin family. The Misty Sect has no involvement!"
The Bai family head said, "I hope Elder Shangguan can see clearly!"
"The Lin family head is my friend, how can I stand by and watch while your Bai family deals with the Lin family."
Elder Shangguan stated directly, "If the Bai family willingly leaves Baishui City, I might not have to act!"
The Bai family head's face turned ashen, but he didn't know what to do. He now understood that if he resisted, he wouldn't be able to control the situation at all.
"Father, at worst, we'll fight to the death!"
Bai Xiaoqing said, "The Bai family will not endure such humiliation!"
At these words, the Lin family head laughed heartily, "You are truly naive. Do you think it's that easy to fight to the death? If a fight really breaks out, it will be the Bai family that suffers!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Brother Lin, why must it come to this!"
The Bai family head said, "The grievances between two great families have escalated to involving outside forces!"
"Don't say another word. When you drove my Lin family out of Baishui City, you didn't say all this!"
The Lin family head sneered, "Moreover, I've already promised Brother Shangguan that if your Bai family is destroyed, the spirit mine will belong to the Misty Sect! So today, no matter what, the Bai family is doomed!"
Lu Fan's expression was cold, "Since that's the case, why bother with more words!"
In the blink of an eye, Lu Fan stepped out, like a phantom. His strange footwork shocked many.
"Mr. Lu, be careful!"
The Bai family head was slightly worried. He knew very well that Elder Shangguan's strength was extraordinary, a peak Spirit Master. It would not be easy for Lu Fan to contend with him.
"Good, come on!"
Elder Shangguan also stepped forward fiercely. As an elder of the Misty Sect, he was considered a top expert in Baishui City, with no one able to oppose him. Lu Fan's assertiveness made him curious to see what divine abilities Lu Fan possessed.
Boom...
Suddenly, a rumbling sound erupted. Following this sound, Elder Shangguan was forced to retreat, his heart filled with shock. He then looked at Lu Fan and said, "It seems I underestimated you. You have such presence at such a young age!"
"You indeed underestimated me!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "However, peak Spirit Master, that's quite good!"
"Brother Shangguan, what is going on?"
The Lin family head asked, "Can he contend with you!"
"Yes!"
Elder Shangguan nodded, "With his strength, he can indeed contend with me. I truly underestimated him!"
The Lin family head was inwardly shocked. He knew Elder Shangguan's strength best. The fact that Lu Fan could contend with him was enough to show how strong Lu Fan was.
"Youngster, with your talent, it would be a shame to die in Baishui City."
Elder Shangguan smiled, "If you are willing to join the Misty Sect, I can suggest to the Sect Master to make you an elder of the Misty Sect!"
