"Although I told you that I could preserve the remnants of the Sun family for the time being, there will be no place for the Sun family to stand afterward. You must leave immediately, live in anonymity, and whether you can live a peaceful life for the rest of your days depends entirely on your fate."
Sun Zhendong stood tall before his family members, delivering his final words of advice in a somber yet resolute tone.
His eyes gleamed with reluctance, yet also revealed an undeniable resolve.
He had to do this so that the Sun family could preserve their lineage.
Upon hearing this, the entire Sun family was plunged into mourning.
Unexpectedly, the Sun family's glory vanished in a single day, leaving them to live in anonymity.
However, they also knew the situation was serious, and if they did not follow Sun Zhendong's advice, their lives would be in danger.
In this life-or-death moment, survival became the only obsession. Although the road ahead was shrouded in mist, there was no other choice at this moment.
Upon receiving a response from his clansmen, Sun Zhendong slowly turned around. Although he looked much older in an instant, his gaze remained sharp as he stared directly at Wu Tian.
He took a deep breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and said in a clear voice, "Wu Tian, I will tell you everything I know without reservation. I hope you will keep your promise."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian nodded slightly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
The mystery of the Wu family's massacre is finally about to surface. He spoke calmly and with great weight, saying, "I, Wu Tian, always keep my word. Once you tell me the truth, I will release everyone in the Sun family."
Seeing this, Sun Zhendong felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, and said solemnly, "Alright, I believe you. The root cause of the Wu family's tragic fate back then lies in..."
"Wu Tian, your death is near!"
Before Sun Zhendong could finish speaking, a roar suddenly echoed throughout the world.
Two figures landed steadily beside Sun Zhendong, one on the left and one on the right, like meteorites falling to earth.
The two men had peculiar appearances. The man on the left was short and stout with thick hair and beard, resembling a giant ball of fur, while the man on the right was tall and slender, with a smooth, hairless body, like a bald clothesline.
The two men stood on either side of Sun Zhendong, like two guardian deities.
At this moment, the two men's eyes burned with fury, as if they wanted to devour Wu Tian.
Sun Zhendong felt as if he were a drowning man grabbing onto a piece of driftwood, his gratitude overflowing. "Thank you for saving me, Second Brother. The Sun family will remember this great kindness."
The fat man's lips twitched slightly, revealing a smug smile. He said confidently and arrogantly, "Don't worry, Elder Sun. With my brother and I here, that brat Wu Tian is doomed."
Sun Zhendong's expression changed slightly, and he cursed inwardly, "I, a fifth-grade martial artist, couldn't even withstand one move from that guy. With your two cultivation levels, how could you possibly kill him?"
Although he thought this way, he said sincerely, "I will remember your great kindness, Second Brother. If I can enter the Sun family and escape this predicament, I will personally visit Uncle Jiu to express my gratitude."
It turns out that these two are the second brother of one of the four great underworld figures in Linhai City.
Many people only know the name of the second brother, but do not know that the second brother is actually two people, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin.
They came to the Sun family on the orders of Uncle Jiu, firstly to avenge their fourth and third brothers, and secondly to make connections with the Sun family.
Unexpectedly, this trip would provide an opportunity to rescue the Sun family.
The fat man laughed heartily, full of pride, "It's easy. Uncle Jiu has long intended to join forces with Elder Sun. If our two families join forces, we will surely be able to rule Linhai and achieve great things."
Sun Zhendong glanced at Wu Tian furtively and solemnly promised, "Alright, I will definitely work with Uncle Jiu to accomplish great things, but before that, we need to resolve this troublesome matter."
The fat man tilted his head back and laughed loudly, "This is simple. My brother and I will take care of him."
After saying that, he turned to stare at Wu Tian, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Wu Tian, is it? Are you going to die on your own, or will you let my brother do it?"
Wu Tian's face was ashen, his gaze sharp as knives as he pointed directly at the two men, his words chillingly menacing: "No matter who you are, those who ruin my grand plan will only face death."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding air froze instantly, and everyone felt a chill and dared not look directly at him.
Upon hearing this, the fat man was not afraid at all. Instead, he burst into laughter, full of contempt. "You dare to say such things? It seems you don't know who we are. Listen carefully, we are the second brother of the Four Great Vajras of Linhai City. It would be your honor to die at our hands."
As he spoke, he pointed his thumb at the skinny man next to him and himself, his tone full of arrogant domineering arrogance.
"Haha!" Jin Lingyun's cold laughter rang out as soon as the fat man finished speaking, the sarcasm in it piercing straight to the heart, "My junior brother is invincible. Even a fifth-rank expert like Sun Zhendong had his cultivation crippled by him in one move. What kind of trash are you two, daring to challenge him?"
These words were like a thunderclap, and both the fat man and the thin man looked at Sun Zhendong simultaneously.
Sun Zhendong appeared weak and listless, as if his cultivation had been completely drained, leaving him as an empty shell.
The fat man asked eagerly, "Elder Sun, what is your cultivation level...?"
Sun Zhendong sighed heavily, shook his head without answering. The helplessness and sorrow he felt were more despairing to the two of them than any weapon in the world.
The two felt as if they had fallen into an icy abyss. They had originally thought that the danger to the Sun family was caused by Wu Tian and his accomplices' sabotage.
Now that Sun Zhendong's cultivation has been destroyed, the Sun family seems to be doomed.
What chilled them even more was that all of this was done by Wu Tian alone, defeating his enemy in one move. What formidable strength!
They had only just reached the fourth rank of cultivation; how could they possibly contend with such strength?
Although he had a premonition, the fat man was still unwilling to give up and continued to ask, "Elder Sun, could it be... could it really be that he crippled your cultivation in one move?"
Sun Zhendong remained silent, shaking his head. All his cultivation and glory had been lost at the hands of Wu Tian.
Such humiliation was irreconcilable, yet he had no chance to rise again, and his life lost its meaning.
The fat man was furious and almost roared, "If that's the case, why didn't you say so earlier? We sincerely wanted to help you, but instead we've gotten ourselves into a desperate situation."
At this moment, the two were dominated by Wu Tian's formidable strength, and a surge of fear seeped into their blood and penetrated their very bones.
The two exchanged a glance, their despair palpable. Faced with such an enemy, they truly had no choice but to die.
However, Sun Zhendong burst into laughter, his laughter tinged with endless sorrow and the ecstatic joy of his conspiracy succeeding. "How could I not know what you were thinking?"
"You only wanted to use the power of the Sun family to expand your own territory. Now that the Sun family has fallen apart, your wishful thinking has failed. However, I am truly grateful to you. If it weren't for you, the younger generation of my Sun family might not have been able to escape alive."
Upon hearing Sun Zhendong's words, the fat man and the thin man suddenly turned around and were shocked to find that the square, which had been bustling with people just moments before, had been sparsely populated with only a few people scattered among it.
In an instant, the truth pierced their hearts like a sharp blade, and the fat man and the thin man suddenly realized that they had become Sun Zhendong's pawns.
The two men were instantly enraged and, like two bolts of lightning, simultaneously unleashed a furious slap at Sun Zhendong.
