Liu Xiaoyuan tried to stop Su Youlong from opening the box, but it was too late. Su Youlong cleaved the black box open with a single palm strike, and the contents spilled out.

The box contained nothing but snakes. Liu Xiaoyuan counted them; there were more than ten snakes of various sizes.

As soon as the snakes came out, they immediately flicked their tongues. Su Youlong took out a short bamboo flute from his body and began to play it.

As soon as the snakes heard Su Youlong's flute, they immediately crawled towards Liu Xiaoyuan and the others.

Liu Xiaoyuan hadn't expected that Su Youlong also possessed snake control skills. However, if Su Youlong thought he could use this snake control technique against him, he was sorely mistaken.

"You two protect Uncle Lin, and I'll handle Su Youlong!" Liu Xiaoyuan said to Tang Wen and Tang Wu.

"Brother Liu, then you'd better be careful!" Tang Wen had witnessed Liu Xiaoyuan's methods and knew that Liu Xiaoyuan could easily deal with someone like Su Youlong in no time.

Lin Xin was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He never expected that Su Youlong, who called him brother, had such a trick up his sleeve. Lin Xin was utterly shocked.

Liu Xiaoyuan immediately summoned the Swift Traveler Dai Zong. As for Su Youlong, who knew how to control snakes, all he had to do was destroy the bamboo flute in their hands!

Dai Zong, the Swift-Foot Warrior, has a great advantage in speed, making him the best choice to deal with Su Youlong.

Su Youlong only saw a blur before his eyes, and then he saw Liu Xiaoyuan standing in front of him. Su Youlong was shocked and before he could make any move, Liu Xiaoyuan kicked him away, sending him flying into the corner of the wall and onto the ground.

Dealing with enemies requires swift and decisive action, like sweeping away fallen leaves in autumn; there can be no mercy. Liu Xiaoyuan quickly stepped forward and delivered another kick.

Seeing the bamboo flute lying nearby, Liu Xiaoyuan simply stomped on it and smashed it to pieces.

"No..." Seeing the bamboo flute destroyed by Liu Xiaoyuan's kick, Su Youlong roared hysterically. The bamboo flute was used to control the poisonous snakes. Without the poisonous snakes, Su Youlong was nothing.

The venomous snake, no longer under the control of the flute, immediately stopped, flicking its tongue at Lin Xin and the other two, without attacking.

"I'm going to kill you!" Su Youlong tried to get up from the ground and fight Liu Xiaoyuan, but before he could get up, Liu Xiaoyuan stepped on his shoulder and stomped him back down.

"Hmph! You're not qualified to fight me!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a cold snort.

"Ah..." Su Youlong screamed wildly, flailing his arms wildly, trying to knock Liu Xiaoyuan's foot off his shoulder.

Upon seeing that the venomous snake was no longer under the control of the flute, the Tang brothers, Wen and Wu, immediately launched an attack.

Soon, the Tang brothers, Wen and Wu, dealt with the dozen or so venomous snakes.

After dealing with the venomous snake, Liu Xiaoyuan moved Su Youlong to the center and then threw him there.

"Brother Lin, I don't want to die, Brother Lin, please spare my life for the sake of our brotherhood over the years." Su Youlong, having lost his greatest support, crawled to Lin Xin and begged for mercy.

Lin Xin glanced at Su Youlong and asked, "Su Youlong, I'm asking you, why did you order someone to kill me? I've never done anything to wrong you."

Upon hearing this, Su Youlong immediately raised his hand and slapped himself several times, saying, "Brother Lin, I was blinded by greed, I shouldn't have had such evil intentions..."

Su Youlong's reason for wanting to kill Lin Xin was entirely due to his envy of Lin Xin's wealth. Su Youlong thought that if he killed Lin Xin, Yuanda Group would be leaderless, and he could then intervene as Lin Xin's good friend, and there was a high chance that he could get his hands on Lin Xin's shares.

Even if I can't get my hands on Lin Xin's shares, Yuanda Group will be in decline without Lin Xin as its leader, and then I can get a share of the profits.

The reason Su Youlong was able to persuade the Long family in the Miao village was because he had saved the life of the current head of the Long family by chance in the past.

That's why the Long family in Miao Village agreed to Su Youlong's request.

The first person the Miao family sent was the young master of the Long family, but he was injured and returned to the Miao village before he even met Lin Xin's men.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan recalled the time he camped by the reservoir in the county town. He had encountered several people who knew how to control snakes, one of whom was some kind of young master, probably the young master of the Miao village Long family that Su Youlong had mentioned.

At that time, Liu Xiaoyuan had no idea that the other party was there to deal with Lin Xin. The conflict with the other party was entirely by chance.

After failing the first time without even seeing their target, the Long family of Miao Village felt embarrassed and sent more people to deal with Lin Xin.

But in the end, the entire army was wiped out. Now, the Long family realized that the person Su Youlong was dealing with was probably not an ordinary person, and that he had a master protector by his side.

Seeing that they had lost so many people, the Long family didn't want to help Su Youlong anymore, since they had already helped him twice and considered it more than enough.

However, because Lin Xin was not dead, Su Youlong was unwilling to give up and came to the Long family again, asking the head of the Long family to help him one more time. The head of the Long family naturally refused, but Su Youlong made a condition, saying that if the Long family helped him one more time, they were willing to start with a high price of 50 million.

At this point, the young master of the Long family also came out to persuade his father to help Su Youlong one more time.

The head of the Long family did not immediately agree, telling Su Youlong to leave first. A few days after Su Youlong left, the head of the Long family, after careful consideration, finally gave his answer, agreeing to help Su Youlong deal with Lin Xin one more time.

Unfortunately, the moment the Long family arrived in the capital and met with Su Youlong, they were discovered by Lin Xin.
