In a luxurious and magnificent cave dwelling, the three met in the main hall.
Although this cave dwelling was carved out and built into the mountainside, it did not appear simple. It was decorated with many spiritual artifacts and even magical implements for calming the mind and spirit, as well as talismans. There were also many beautiful jades containing spiritual energy but used only for decoration. Furthermore, several large luminous pearls were inlaid, shining brightly all day long, showing luxury without losing style, revealing the prominent status of the owner of this place.
"Young Master Han, that kid is now receiving personal guidance from the elders multiple times. If he continues to act according to the previous plan on the arena, I'm afraid..."
Wang An sat with one side of his buttocks on the lower side, and spoke with a respectful yet somewhat worried expression.
Han Chenhua, seated at the head of the table, a hint of coldness flashing across his handsome face, calmly interrupted him:
"What, you've changed your mind?"
"No..." Wang An saw the coldness in the other party's expression and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly said, "Junior brother, I'm just a little worried. After all, the situation is different now. Compared with before, the consequences have changed a lot."
Han Chenhua said calmly, "You don't need to worry about these things. Do you think my Han family can't withstand such consequences? Or do you think my Han family is so weak..."
"No, that's not it. I was just a little worried, so I came to ask for Young Master Han's opinion."
"Since you say everything will proceed as usual, then Junior Brother is certain that he will fulfill Young Master Han's order."
Seeing this, Wang An dared not say anything more and quickly got up to take his leave.
Han Chenhua nodded slightly, his gaze calmly fixed on Wang An's retreating figure. Just as Wang An was about to leave the hall, he suddenly said:
"You should understand that things have come to this point and there's no possibility of cancellation. You must understand that there is absolutely no room for maneuver. Do you understand?"
"Different choices have different consequences. Think carefully about which one you can bear and which one will lead to your utter ruin."
Wang An paused, his expression slightly somber, then turned and bowed again before leaving.
After Wang An left, Han Chenhua's expression darkened.
Not to mention that Wang An had the idea of changing his mind, even he had wavered for a moment before.
It was unimaginable that the disciples of Jiuxiao Mountain were like ants in his eyes, easily crushed and killed with a mere flick of his wrist.
It is truly unbelievable that such a huge change has occurred in such a short period of time!
His resolve had already wavered when the reputation of his unparalleled genius spread, not to mention the numerous personal guidance he received from the Wang family member later on…
Continuing to target this child could easily jeopardize the overall situation of the Han family.
Not to mention, this monstrous talent has already found an environment to grow; if it is not killed, it will surely become a future threat...
At this moment, Steward Li, who was standing behind him, saw this scene and couldn't help but say:
"Young Master, shouldn't we inform the Ancestor about this? The person who gave that boy guidance seems to be Elder Wang. Although I've heard that he has no chance of reaching the Upper Realm, he is, after all, a member of the Wang family and a powerful elder of the Lingxiao lineage."
"Killing this kid would completely offend the Wang family, wouldn't it? Moreover, it would easily push the Wang family further towards the Zhou family, which seems to be detrimental to our Han family's plans against the Zhou family?"
Hearing these words, Han Chenhua frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure. Although the other party was the Han family's steward, he had served the patriarch for many years and was also a powerful expert in the Purple Mansion stage, so he was not someone Han Chenhua could reprimand.
Moreover, this idea coincided with his previous wavering...
It was this concern that made him waver, fearing that if something went wrong, it would not only bring a great enemy to the Han family, but might even affect the overall situation of the Han family.
but……
Han Chenhua said calmly, "After the news of the Lingxiao Trial Tower came out, I have consulted with the Ancestor. Steward Li, you don't need to worry about it."
"Our ancestor made me realize one thing: the more dazzling this boy becomes, the more the Han family must kill him..."
The old ancestor only said two simple sentences to him.
Firstly, we should take a long-term view and not let short-term gains or losses jeopardize our future prospects.
Secondly, the Han family must not lose either its reputation or its dignity.
Although he didn't say anything more, he didn't show any sign of refusal.
Clearly, this means handing the matter over to him.
Han Chenhua didn't understand what the ancestor meant at the time, but after returning and thinking about it for a while, he figured it out.
It's very simple. From the moment the challenge was reached, the only outcome of this matter was the complete annihilation of Lin Xiuyuan.
The news of this matter has spread far and wide, and anyone can see that Wang An is backed by the Han family.
He did not back down when Lin Xiuyuan displayed his monstrous talent.
Should we back down now that the Wang family is involved?
How will the outside world view the Han family? Furthermore, although the Wang family has a long history, this generation is inferior to the Han family.
If the goal is to suppress the Zhou family, then a tough stance must be adopted, suppressing all forces to the point that they dare not approach the Zhou family. Otherwise, if the Zhou family is destroyed in the future, the price they will have to pay will be much higher.
Lin Xiuyuan is now involved in the overall situation.
Otherwise, as a newly established family, they couldn't even suppress a prodigy, and even a disciple favored by an elder of an old family had to back down.
Then, the Han family's luck has probably come to an end!
This child must be killed!
...
…………
"Has the competition begun?"
Lin Xiuyuan opened his eyes, looking calmly at the tightly closed door of the secret room in front of him, and murmured softly.
Lin Xiuyuan stayed in the secret room for a long time before finally slowly pushing open the door and walking along the corridor toward the spirit beast room.
Before the door of the No. 1 spirit beast chamber, as if sensing Lin Xiuyuan's arrival, the fire python's bright red body slowly swam over, its huge head raised high to look at Lin Xiuyuan, slowly flicking its tongue. In its cold and indifferent eyes, Lin Xiuyuan's gradually elongating figure was reflected.
"Fellow Daoist Huo, I guess you'll have to work hard again today."
Lin Xiuyuan said softly.
"Serving my master is my duty."
The fire python lowered its enormous head slightly, showing a hint of submission.
Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly and waved his hand casually. The huge snake body of the fire python seemed to be receiving some mysterious meaning, and gradually shrank, turning into a red light and flying into the spirit beast pouch at his waist.
Lin Xiuyuan strolled away, arriving outside the cave. He then rode his escape light and headed towards the majestic main peak that soared into the clouds in the distance.
