Although the Lin family was also putting up a fierce resistance, they were clearly at a disadvantage.
Although Lin Jiujiu intended to test them, she did not want them to die.
So, apart from the leader who made the first move, she let three more people in, and the rest were all trapped in a small trap.
They're just waiting for these people to be dealt with before releasing the others, treating them as a whetstone for the Lin family.
As time went on, the Lin family members became increasingly coordinated.
It also changed from the point where three or four people could barely subdue one person, to the point where two people working together could take down one person.
At this point, the advantages of having a high level of cultivation also become apparent.
Someone like Lin Xiaomei, whose cultivation level is several minor realms higher, can easily crush others even if they are not proficient in using their own abilities.
However, the Lin family members were ultimately too kind. Even though these people were determined to kill them, they still showed mercy and were unwilling to kill.
To be honest, Lin Jiujiu was somewhat disappointed in them, after all, she couldn't protect them forever.
People with personalities like them won't live long in the world of cultivation.
Just as she let the last few assassins go, preparing to take action herself if the Lin family still couldn't bring themselves to do it, a sudden change occurred.
The man, who had been knocked unconscious by several people, suddenly sprang up and attacked Lin's mother with a short dagger in his hand.
Lin's mother and Lin Yun'er were fighting one person together, and even if they realized something was wrong, it was too late to dodge.
Just as Lin Jiujiu was about to make her move, her father, who was originally the least favored by her, risked taking a blow from his opponent and shot out his long sword, which was imbued with spiritual power, towards the man's back.
The man wielding the dagger fell to the ground less than an inch from Lin's mother, terrifying the Lin family members and filling them with lingering fear.
At this point, the Lin family seemed to have suddenly awakened to the fact that even if they showed mercy, these people would still take their lives once they found an opportunity.
No one held back anymore, especially Lin's father, who was willing to risk injury to bite off a piece of flesh from his opponent.
After losing the spirit sword, Lin's father immediately pulled out a knife from his storage bag.
Compared to the sword, he felt that the long saber suited him better, and it was very powerful when he wielded it.
With Lin's father taking the lead, Lin Ze, Liang Xing, and the others worked even harder, after all, everyone has someone they want to protect.
Because of their weaker position, Hu Shi and her mother were protected behind the crowd, but they stood in front of the children.
He shielded Liang Yue, Liang Hua, and Tantai Haoze behind him.
When Lin Xiaomei saw that her father had changed his weapon, she also felt that the spirit sword was not as satisfying to use.
He pulled out a spiked club and started chasing after the man in black, killing him.
She was the person with the highest spiritual power in the entire room, and with one blow of her staff, she could split the black-clad man's head open, scattering red and white blood all over the ground.
Lin Jiujiu frowned at the sight; this girl was far too unrefined.
She couldn't understand why the mutated water elemental root had such a fiery temper.
Fortunately, with Lin Jiujiu in charge, this one-sided massacre ended within an hour.
Finally, only one man in black remained. Just as Lin Xiaomei was about to make a move, Lin Jiujiu stopped her.
With a flick of her wrist, she created a large net of spiritual energy that pulled Lin Xiaomei back from where she had run to.
Seeing that all his companions were dead, the man originally thought of gritting his teeth and crushing the poison between his teeth to commit suicide, but Baili Chenyuan would never give him such an opportunity.
A burst of spiritual energy swept out, crushing the man's jawbone to dust.
Lin Jiujiu frowned slightly as she looked at the situation.
"You just crushed his jaw, how am I supposed to ask him a question?"
Despite saying that, Lin Jiujiu didn't actually mind.
After all, what people say may not be true.
Even if she had the truth-telling charm, she couldn't possibly get all the information out of him.
After all, she didn't know how much this person knew, so it was better to see for herself than to ask.
Baili Chenyuan clearly shared the same thought as her.
He chuckled and said, "Why go through all that trouble? They're all going to die anyway, so we can just do a soul search."
If it weren't for that, most people would have had their heads smashed by Lin Xiaomei's blow, and she wouldn't have needed to leave this person alive.
Lin Jiujiu nodded. Although the cultivation world listed the Soul Searching Technique as a forbidden technique, she had traveled through more than one cultivation world, so even if she wanted to learn it, she wouldn't be able to.
I never expected that Baili Chenyuan would know it, and that he would say it so easily, as if he didn't take it seriously at all.
Lin Jiujiu's gaze towards him couldn't help but carry a hint of scrutiny.
After thinking it over, I decided not to reveal that I also knew the Soul Searching Technique.
He took two steps back to make room before speaking to Baili Chenyuan.
"Then you can come."
After all, most people who have their souls searched end up either mentally impaired or insane, which is why it is listed as a forbidden technique.
Baili Chenyuan glanced at Lin Jiujiu. When he suggested soul searching and she didn't seem too surprised, Baili Chenyuan guessed that she might do the same.
But this girl is a sly fox; even now, she's still trying to hide her true abilities.
It doesn't matter if Baili sinks into the abyss.
He nodded at Lin Jiujiu.
Let's watch it together.
As he spoke, he took out a magical artifact that resembled a water mirror from his mustard seed space and tossed it into the air.
Then, he pressed one hand on the top of the person's head, and after a moment, the image appeared in the water mirror as if a thin mist had dispersed.
This person was probably too terrified and their memories were all jumbled up.
Lin Jiujiu frowned slightly in annoyance, and Baili Chenyuan immediately searched his memories for what she most wanted to know.
The image reflected in the mirror captivated the attention of everyone in the Lin family.
It was in a mountain forest, where there seemed to be many villages. A group of people rushed into the village and killed everyone they saw, regardless of age or gender. No one could escape their butcher's knife.
Pregnant women were cruelly disemboweled and forced to watch helplessly as their children were stabbed to death.
An elderly woman, over fifty years old, desperately protected the child behind her, only to be pierced through the body with a single sword, like a string of candied hawthorns.
The terrifying, hellish scene made the Lin family members tighten their grip on their swords and knives.
Just when everyone thought they were carrying out an assassination mission, those people pulled off their face masks, revealing their youthful faces.
At this moment, another group of people came over, leading another group of people.
Men, women, young and old—all were their closest relatives, including their parents, brothers, and even wives and children. This was their final test.
Everyone in the Lin family stared at the water mirror, hoping they would show mercy.
And all of this was destined to disappoint them.
A woman wearing a veil and completely covered from head to toe, whose figure was barely recognizable as female, walked up to them.
