At this moment, Lin Yu completely won over Han Ling Shuang.

Unlike before, when deterrence was the primary means of winning people over, now it is about persuading them with virtue.

Being lovable is always safer than being awe-inspiring.

Because others cannot always respect you. When you encounter misfortune and fall from your former height, others will step on you as you have stepped on others, or even a hundred times over.

Winning people over with virtue is always the best approach!

Of course, this also depends on the person. A Bodhisattva has more than one side. When encountering bad people, he is an angry Vajra; when encountering good people, he is a compassionate savior.

"Now, are you confident you can deal with Jiang Enyi?" Lin Yu looked at Han Ling Shuang with his gentle eyes.

Han Ling Shuang pondered for a moment, then shook her head again, "It seems... it still won't work!"

"What's wrong with it?" Lin Yu asked.

Han Ling Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Based on my understanding of him, he should have already reached the mid-level Martial Saint. I am confident that I can challenge someone of a higher level, but I lack a martial technique for a fatal blow!"

"How's your swordsmanship? I can teach you!" Lin Yu asked.

Han Ling Shuang's eyes lit up, and she nodded, saying, "I have some understanding of swordsmanship!"

"Okay, then watch carefully, I'll only demonstrate once!"

Lin Yu said in a deep voice, and then, with a slight flick of his wrist, a transparent short sword appeared in his palm.

Whoosh!

With a flick of his arm, the short sword flew out.

It penetrates directly through the glass window.

The window wasn't broken at all; however, seconds later, an eagle fell from a height of 10,000 meters!

"This..." Han Ling Shuang's eyes widened, feeling incredulous.

"This sword technique is called—Supreme Forgetfulness!"

"Take your time to figure it out!"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he got up and walked outside. Han Ling Shuang was left alone, looking out the window, lost in thought.

...

The Shangguan family.

Clad in white mourning clothes, a chorus of sorrowful cries filled the air.

The crowd knelt before the mourning hall, sobbing incessantly.

The Shangguan family had finally produced a martial arts genius, but unexpectedly, he was gone just like that.

"Master, the man surnamed Lin has arrived!"

At this moment, a servant rushed in to report to Shangguan Yuan, who was wearing a white silk ribbon over his head.

"What? This scoundrel actually dares to come back?"

Shangguan Sheng's face instantly turned cold, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Where are the retainers and guests of the Shangguan family? Come out and fight alongside me!"

brush!

A machete flew directly into Shangguan Sheng's hand.

It turns out that he was also a master of perfect internal strength.

However, he is somewhat inferior to his younger brother.

Logically speaking, the Shangguan family should be at their peak, becoming outstanding martial arts families, and their legacy should be able to last for a hundred years.

However, the appearance of one person led to an unprecedented defeat for the Shangguan family!

Now that the most talented Shangguan Du is dead, and the business is about to collapse, the Shangguan family is truly doomed.

"stop!"

Just then, Shangguan Yuan shouted a rebuke.

Everyone turned to look at him.

“Father…” Shangguan Sheng looked at his father with trembling eyes. That night, his hair turned white with worry. His hair, which was originally gray and white, had turned completely silver.

Shangguan Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "My Shangguan family, starting from my great-grandfather, has a total of five generations. We took over the responsibility of being maternal relatives in 1929, and now we have a history of a hundred years!"

"It has been glorious, it has declined, it has experienced ups and downs!"

In the end, it's all for nothing!

"Our ancient martial arts clan has never regarded us relatives as family, nor has it interfered with our lives. Now, we are facing a life-or-death situation, so why should we risk our lives for our clan?"

At the end, Shangguan Yuan's voice suddenly rose.

"I hereby declare that from this day forward, my Shangguan clan will completely sever ties with the ancient martial arts family, and from this day forward change our surname to 'Shangguan,' taking the homonym 'Guan' (关)!"

"Feng Tang grows old easily, Li Guang is hard to be ennobled, the passes and mountains are hard to cross, who will mourn the lost traveler, we meet by chance and are all strangers in a foreign land!"

The elderly man, who was over seventy years old, suddenly became emotional on the spot.

"Guan family retainers and guests, listen up! You are all my close friends, Shangguan Yuan. I know that you followed me back then only because of the title of 'ancient martial arts family relatives'! Now we are no longer related to the Shangguan family, and you are no longer obliged to fight to the death. Now that my Guan family is facing a life-or-death crisis, I do not need you to share my fate. I have already ordered the accountant to prepare silver, one hundred million for each of you. After you receive the money, you can leave. Thank you for your protection over the years. From now on, you will have no further connection with my Guan family!"

"What are you saying, old man!"

Swish swish swish!

Several powerful figures suddenly stepped forward.

The elderly men were all deeply moved.

Originally, they were ready to leave, but Shangguan Yuan's words forced them to step forward.

When things are peaceful, the Shangguan family treats them well, like royalty. But now that they've encountered such a disaster, they're leaving. Is this how people of the martial world behave?

Moreover, the old man even prepared a huge sum of travel expenses for them!

Shangguan Sheng suddenly understood his father's intention.

This move is clearly a strategic retreat!

People in the martial arts world value morality above all else. Once these words are spoken, how can anyone still have the nerve to leave?

With the protection of these grandmasters, the Shangguan family might still have a glimmer of hope!

Shangguan Yuan shook his head. “My old brothers, listen to me! That Lin Yu is no ordinary cultivator; he has probably already reached the Saint realm. You are no match for him. You are not members of the Guan family, so there is no need for you to be implicated by us! Men, give us your travel expenses and let us go!”

Shangguan Yuan shouted and summoned the head steward.
