As Li Ming stepped out of the Lu residence, dozens of constables at the gate focused their gazes on him.
Among them were many experts at the Golden Core stage, and their expressions varied, ranging from admiration to respect...
In just a few months, Li Ming has risen from humble beginnings to become more and more famous!
Even veteran Golden Core masters are no match for him.
Faced with a huge gap, jealousy can only turn into admiration.
To have such demeanor at such a young age is truly admirable.
To live freely is a dream for so many people!
I will not offend others unless they offend me.
If someone offends me, I will retaliate.
It sounds easy, but not many people can actually do it.
Social skills and worldly wisdom always make people rational.
Li Ming looked calmly at everyone.
They are all elites.
Lu Tian had essentially handed over his entire team to him: four Golden Core level experts, plus dozens of Condensation Realm masters.
Taking over the Lin family is not difficult.
...
Inside the Lin family.
Sobbing and weeping rose and fell.
Passersby outside sighed with emotion:
"This family is really unlucky. They just had a funeral a few days ago, and now this is happening again."
Inside the mourning hall.
A black ebony coffin was placed in the center; it was Lin Zhan's coffin.
The coffin was, of course, empty.
Lin Canghai stood before the empty coffin, his eyes brimming with tears, his heart filled with a mix of emotions.
The elderly bury their children.
The successive loss of his grandson and son was an immense blow to him.
What's most infuriating is that their remains could not be recovered.
He even had to worry that the Six Doors might cause him trouble.
Even someone as cold-hearted as him found it hard to bear.
What I feared most came to pass.
Outside the mourning hall, a panicked voice could be heard:
"Master! The Six Doors are here! It seems to be that damned Li Ming, and we can't stop him!"
"They blasted the gates apart!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Canghai flew into a rage.
"What? What gives him the right?!"
His own grandson and son were both sent away one after another.
Are they planning to break into the Lin family's house with their men?
"That Li Ming! He's gone too far!"
Lin Canghai roared in anger, his heart filled with grief and indignation.
"Lin Long, go and stop them. Don't let them set foot in here."
"yes!"
Lin Long, the current head of the family, who was standing to the side, hurriedly walked out of the mourning hall.
The Lin family was not a monolithic entity; several factions existed within it.
For some people, Lin Xun's death is not bad news.
For example, none of the sons of the current patriarch Lin Long are as outstanding as Lin Xun.
Lin Xun is dead, but his sons might still have hope.
But internal strife is still internal strife; when faced with external enemies, they still know to unite as one.
Dozens of figures were already standing inside the Lin family compound.
They stood in neat rows, all with cold and stern expressions, as if they would draw their swords at the slightest provocation.
Li Ming, with a solemn expression, strode towards the Lin family's residence. He glanced at the people who had come to attend the funeral and gave a cold snort.
The thunder rumbled, like the might of heaven.
"The Six Doors are on official business. All irrelevant people, get out of my way!"
Are you crazy?!
Lin Long knew something was about to happen, so he quickly went outside to the courtyard.
Upon seeing Li Ming's figure and the large group of people behind him, a sudden pang of pain shot through his heart.
"They've come with ill intentions!"
"This Li Ming is clearly using his position to settle personal scores. In front of everyone, does he intend to wipe out my Lin family?"
Lin Long's heart skipped a beat when he saw the scene.
"I wonder what crime the Lin family has committed that has troubled the Six Doors to come to our door?"
Even so, Lin Long quickly adjusted his mindset and asked in a deep voice.
Behind him, a group of Lin family warriors drew their swords, their faces wary.
A large number of guards and retainers also stepped forward. They didn't say much, but simply stood firmly behind him.
"Don't you know what crime you've committed?"
Li Ming asked calmly.
"I truly do not know."
"Hmph, hiring assassins, treating human life like dirt, corruption, collusion between officials and businessmen... Does your Lin family really think you can do whatever you want?"
"How dare you slander my Lin family like this! What evidence do you have?"
Lin Long roared.
Some people nearby couldn't stand it anymore and tried to smooth things over, saying:
"The Lin family is holding a funeral, and the Six Doors are still investigating a case. This is so inhumane!"
"that is……"
Several figures stepped forward; they were all martial artists who had received favors from the Lin family and were known for their chivalry and loyalty in the martial world.
If I don't step up now to build up my reputation, how will I survive in the martial arts world in the future?
When you're out in the game, loyalty is everything!
"Human favors?"
Li Ming snorted coldly, interrupting the man's long-winded speech.
"The Six Doors are handling business, how dare you make such a fuss?"
"Heh, even if it's the Six Doors, you still can't..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Li Ming moved.
A cold glint flashed.
Seeing Li Ming draw his sword, the man was startled and quickly gathered his strength to parry.
However, the gap between them was too great, whether it was the strength of their true energy or their power, or even the level of their weapons.
It was just a fleeting glance.
The Moon-Inviting Blade slashed into his body, blood gushing out, leaving a long, deep gash from his face down to the bone.
He died on the spot.
Everyone inside the Lin family compound was shaken by the power of that single strike.
This is a classic example of making an example of someone to warn others.
Li Ming shouted directly:
"In my place, there is no room for sentimentality, only the law!"
"I'd like to see who else dares to obstruct my investigation. If they end up with a charge of obstructing official business, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Li Ming's tone was calm, but the killing intent it contained was chilling.
The sound, neither too loud nor too soft, was like a thunderclap, instantly turning the faces of the people who had spoken to death. Their bodies trembled, and for a moment they were as if they had been choked, not daring to utter a sound.
"Is there anyone else trying to stop me from handling this case?"
Li Ming, holding a knife, scanned the crowd.
Those who were on good terms with the Lin family in the past immediately stepped back upon hearing this, and dared not linger any longer.
With such a show of force, even a fool could guess that something big was about to happen to the Lin family!
This Li Ming is indeed as fierce and menacing as the rumors say!
Even a Grandmaster of the Golden Core stage wouldn't be enough for him to kill!
Then Li Ming looked at Lin Long and said coldly:
"As for the evidence?"
"You will all come back to the prison with me, and the evidence will be shown to you!"
Even if the other party obediently submits, Li Ming can produce evidence, and the Lin family, feeling guilty, will really confront him.
Lin Long's eyes widened.
"us?"
Li Ming nodded and said coldly:
"Of course it's you. But too many people in your Lin family have committed crimes. We'll arrest you first, and then we'll talk about that old devil in your family."
Don't overthink it.
Many members of your Lin family have committed heinous crimes. Now that your crimes have been exposed, why don't you surrender and be arrested!
"you……"
Lin Long pointed his index finger at Li Ming, paused, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Li Ming's actions this time are so reckless that he has probably already decided not to let this go easily.
But if we let the father and son surrender and be imprisoned, what difference would that be from death?
"Um?"
Li Ming narrowed his eyes, looked at Lin Long pointing at him, and shouted:
"How dare you!"
A single slash, swift as lightning!
