The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1441 - 1442: Dominant Slaughter

Not to mention anything else, just the aura pressure emanating from Lin Qian is definitely not something an ordinary person could possess.

Yuan De, upon sensing Lin Qian's aura and feeling the Lin Ancestor's cultivation, was filled with fear and trepidation.

"Do not panic, I shall lend you a hand." Lin Qian's voice suddenly reverberated in Yuan De's mind.

Telepathic communication!

Yuan De was shocked deep inside, and when he looked at Lin Qian, a strange look gleamed in his eyes. He quickly understood Lin Qian's intention.

As the Family Head of the Yuan family for so many years, if he couldn't grasp Lin Qian's intent, he would truly not be worthy of his title.

Yet, he also had some doubts in his heart; could the situation indeed be as it appeared?

His own speculation was in complete alignment with Lin Qian's deduction.

Upon this realization, he quickly shouted toward Yuan Zhi, "You made the mistake, why don't you come and plead guilty now?"

Yuan Zhi's face also changed dramatically; who could have predicted the current situation?

Initially, he thought Lin Qian and the others were merely lambs waiting for slaughter.

However, it was only when Zhuge Ming revealed his prowess did he realize they were actually wolves.

Yet when Lin Ancestor and Lin Qian displayed their ferocity, it was clear they were like prehistoric beasts, not lambs at all.

"Forgive me, elder, in the beginning, I had no eyes and offended the seniors!" Yuan Zhi came to his senses and rushed to Lin Ancestor, kneeling down to beg for forgiveness.

There was no excuse not to plead; after kneeling, his forehead pressed to the ground, filled with unease, unsure if they would forgive him.

Cultivation at the Ninth Level of the Mixed Element Realm was not something their family could provoke at all.

However, an inadvertent look of malice flashed in Yuan Zhi's eyes.

Beside him, Yuan Li was completely shocked seeing his grandfather kneeling so humbly, filled with astonishment.

By rights, he should have been the one standing high and mighty, enjoying triumph, but how did it turn into Lin Qian and Yuan Chu beside him? 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Could it be that he must kneel and call Yuan Chu "grandpa", truly succumb to them?

"No, grandpa, how can you kneel to outsiders, we must fight them." Yuan Li, bewildered, suddenly shouted, eyes glaring wide, "Why should we fear him."

"Confident without a cause?" Lin Qian observed Yuan Li's actions and slightly narrowed his eyes, showing an imperceptible smile.

Simultaneously, he concentrated and shouted sternly, "You really won't cry until you see the coffin."

"Do it!"

As Lin Qian's words fell, Sun Wukong beside him had already darted out in a flash with tremendous speed, his Soul Energy forming a golden long staff, smashing down at Yuan Li's head.

"No!" Kneeling on the ground, Yuan Zhi suddenly perceived this upheaval, filled with shock, hastily rising to stop it.

But by then, Lin Ancestor had already blocked him, "If you made a mistake, you must be punished!"

Yuan Li was also startled. How did the opponent suddenly make a move?

However, confident in his own cultivation, he saw that Sun Wukong was only at First Level of the Saint Realm; surrounded by Soul Energy, his Martial Soul manifested behind him as a giant white python.

"Courting death, to dare attack me." Seeing the opponent's cultivation realm, Yuan Li didn't regard him at all, intending to transform into a fierce beast as the Martial Soul emerged.

"Hehehe, whether it's courting death or not, take a hit from my staff first." Sun Wukong chuckled as he concentrated his strength on the staff.

The staff moved without stirring the wind, extraordinarily eerie.

Yet when the golden staff touched Yuan Li's body, the defensive Soul Energy on the opponent vanished, like it never existed, turning into specks of golden phosphorescence, dancing in the surrounding air.

With a single strike, the opponent's Soul Energy defense was broken.

Simultaneously, Sun Wukong's strike hit squarely on the opponent's head.

However, it seemed as if he merely lightly tapped the opponent's forehead, like a dragonfly skimming water, retracting the staff and standing back.

Stepping back, Sun Wukong returned to Lin Qian's side, while Yuan Li stood rigid, immobile.

Immediately thereafter, his entire body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, dying with his path extinguished.

Blocked by Lin Ancestor, Yuan Zhi was dumbfounded, watching this scene, witnessing his grandson's tragic death without any power to stop it, with fists clenched tightly and eyes red with fury.

He wanted to take revenge, but he dared not.

Lin Ancestor watched him, and beside him was an even more unfathomable Ye Xuanyan; how could he dare to make a move?

Standing beside Lin Qian, Yuan Chu was already stunned; Yuan Li, that bastard, died so quickly?

To be honest, Yuan Chu genuinely wanted to laugh out loud, but with Yuan Zhi still present, he restrained himself.

Lin Qian, arms behind his back, gazed towards Yuan Zhi: "What's this, does the second elder seek revenge? You can act now if you wish."

"No! I wouldn't dare!" Yuan Zhi inhaled deeply, emphasizing each word.

Lin Qian nodded, saying matter-of-factly: "Since you started it, you must pay the price. One grandson is dead, no matter, just let your son have another, isn't that right?"

Yuan Zhi was silent, only his face turning grim.

Another one?

What a joke!

But Yuan Zhi indeed dared not to speak his anger, while Yuan De on the side could only sigh.

"Elder brother, I shall take my leave first." Yuan Zhi tremblingly raised his hands, cupped them in salute to his elder brother, "Li'er, consider this as the Yuan family's resolution to the seniors."

Having said this, Yuan Zhi slowly walked out of the Array hub space, his back desolate.

However, upon leaving the Array hub space, his face turned frightfully cold: "You will pay the price soon enough."

With this thought, Yuan Zhi cast a fierce glance back at the Array hub space before departing.

Within the Array hub space, Yuan De was silent for a moment, then ordered the other Array Masters: "You all may withdraw for now, there is no further matter here."

The other Array Masters glanced at each other, then heeded the order and left the Array hub space.

In a moment, only their group remained within the Array hub space.

"Thank you, seniors, for allowing me to vent my anger." After everyone else left, Yuan De, full of satisfaction, cupped his hands towards Lin Qian, Lin Ancestor, and the others.

"It was a mere trifle." Lin Ancestor waved it off, indifferent.

Yuan Chu, however, remained bewildered, unable to understand the situation.

What was his grandfather doing?

"It was your second grandfather Yuan Zhi who framed you back then," Lin Qian said with amusement, watching Yuan Chu's confusion, "He set you up, nearly causing your death; today, your grandfather killed his grandson, a cycle of cause and effect, perfectly fair."

Yuan Chu gazed incredulously at his grandfather Yuan De.

"Silly child, I always knew you were framed, otherwise, I would have dealt with you personally." Coming to his grandson's side, Yuan De patted his shoulder, "Letting you out was to train your mind."

"Now look, you've returned and brought such an incredible ally for our Yuan family?"
