Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Control [Second Update] @@novelbin@@

Li Xiaoyao nodded his head, respecting Lin Yuanyuan’s decision.

“Now that the Lin Family head has died, and you, a mere mortal, how could you possibly reign over the Lin Family? Have you thought about this?”

Lin Yuanyuan shook her head, she had never expected that she would one day be the key to deciding life and death for the Lin Family members, and at this moment, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat lost.

Li Xiaoyao smiled faintly and took out a bottle of Pill Medicine from his Storage Ring, handing it over.

Looking at the pristine white jade bottle in her hands, Lin Yuanyuan asked, “What is this?”

The members of the Lin Family were also very tense; although Lin Yuanyuan had spared them, as long as Li Xiaoyao was still here, they couldn’t completely relax.

“Bone Corroding Pill.” His eyes slowly sweeping across the faces of the Lin Family members, the words that Li Xiaoyao spoke made everyone’s heart sink as if falling into an ice valley.

“Dissolve this Pill Medicine in water, and have them drink it, within twelve hours without the antidote, their bodies will turn into a pool of thick water, beyond the help of even gods.”

The cultivators who came for the wedding felt their hearts pounding, all thinking that Li Xiaoyao’s methods were truly ruthless, and they had been pondering how exactly Li Xiaoyao would deal with these people.

After all, there were so many members of the Lin Family, would he really kill them all?

When the Bone Corroding Pill was presented, any lingering doubts at the bottom of their hearts instantly vanished.

“Whether or not to give it to them, it’s your decision.” People always have to grow up, and Li Xiaoyao couldn’t protect her forever. Besides, the two of them were just friends, although there might be some slight affection on both sides, that final paper-wall hadn’t been pierced through.

Lin Yuanyuan looked down at the jade bottle in her hand, torn with indecision.

Until today, she had never thought she would become the speaker for the Lin Family, but everything these so-called relatives had done to her had left her in despair. Lin Beize was dead, and the Lin Family always needed a new head. Looking at the current trend, it seemed that the position of Family Head was hers by default.

Her eyes, filled with confusion, looked towards her parents. They nodded gently, indicating that they respected her decision, which only made Lin Yuanyuan feel even more hesitant.

Her single decision could control the life and death of all the members of the Lin Family, a heavy responsibility that made Lin Yuanyuan afraid to make a rash decision.

“Yuanyuan, you can’t treat us like this,” Lin Shiyun cried anxiously.

“We’re all family; how can you side with outsiders and treat your kin this way?”

“The Family Head is dead; the new Family Head should be chosen from among the Elders, it should never be your turn.”

These Lin Family people, at this moment, were feeling anxious, wishing they could snatch the Pill Medicine from her hand and crush it.

“Family?” Hearing this word, Lin Yuanyuan couldn’t help but sneer.

These so-called relatives of hers, when faced with a choice of life and death, once again exposed the true nature that she despised. It was their attitude that firmed up the previously indecisive Lin Yuanyuan’s resolve.

“Lin Feng!” Lin Yuanyuan called out lightly, “Bring the water!”

Lin Feng widened his eyes, incredulous, “You want me to fetch water? What do you think you are…?”

“Slap!”

Li Xiaoyao, with an across-the-air slap, sent Lin Feng flying, his mouth losing several teeth.

“Say another word, and I’ll take your life!”

Lin Feng got up from the ground, covering his mouth, his eyes filled with resentment, yet he didn’t dare utter another word of complaint.

These Lin Family cultivators, deeming themselves noble, had yet to understand the current situation and were still daring to provoke continuously. With their character, being alive at this age was indeed a small miracle.

This slap gave Lin Yuanyuan tremendous satisfaction. She turned her gaze to Lin Xiu and commanded, “Lin Xiu, fetch water.”

Lin Xiu had always looked down on the ordinary members of the Lin Family, yet at this moment, this individual, whom he regarded as common, issued him an irrefutable order in a tone that brooked no dissent.

Faced with a life-and-death situation, Lin Xiu was compelled to lower himself and fetched a large bowl of water.

Lin Yuanyuan poured the pill medicine from the jade bottle into the water. As soon as the pill touched the water, it dissolved, emitting waves of an exotic fragrance.

Her gaze swept slowly over the members of the Lin Family, and Lin Yuanyuan said in a cold voice, “Drink it.”

“I won’t drink it. I would rather die than drink,” a cultivator from the Lin Family declared, chin lifted in a staunch, uncompromising manner.

“You wish to die? Very well, I will grant your wish.” Li Xiaoyao’s indifferent voice sounded. With a buzz from the Seven Star Ancient Sword, in the next moment, the neck of that member of the Lin Family was severed, the head rolling to the ground.

Seeing this, the others shuddered. Li Xiaoyao asked coldly, “Anyone else unwilling to drink? I’ll give you a quick end!”

There was no response.

Once regarded as the most talented in the Lin Family, Lin Qingxuan and Lin Xiu could only compromise at this moment, for Li Xiaoyao was simply too powerful, powerful enough to extinguish any thoughts of resistance.

Having achieved the intended intimidation, the following matters became much simpler.

The elders and disciples of the Seven Swords Sect who were watching felt somewhat relieved to see the Lin Family being subjugated.

Although Li Xiaoyao had killed their sect leader, he hadn’t taken control of them. The moment Li Xiaoyao left, they planned to immediately seek help and use every means possible to avenge their sect leader.

However, they were clearly thinking too much and too ideally.

How could Li Xiaoyao, with his usual way of doing things, allow the grass to remain without removing the roots?

Li Xiaoyao purchased several contract talismans from the system and looked towards the Seven Swords Sect’s elders with a sinister smile that made the elders’ hearts skip a beat with foreboding.

…

Lin Yuanyuan did not stay at the Seven Swords Sect; instead, she accompanied Li Xiaoyao down the mountain to Ling City.

Now that she held control over the lives of all members of the Lin Family, Lin Yuanyuan made it very clear to them upon her departure that if they wanted to live, they should obediently listen to their parents. With her absence from the Lin Family, Lin Qianjun and his wife had the highest authority.

Similarly, Li Xiaoyao directly controlled several Seven Swords Sect’s elders using the master-servant contract, which, compared to the Bone Corroding Pill, seemed like a godsend.

The cultivation levels of the Seven Swords Sect’s elders might not catch Li Xiaoyao’s eye, but having a few more servants was always better.

After descending the mountain, Li Xiaoyao drove Lin Yuanyuan toward Ling City.

…

Meishan Villa, known as the top residential sacred land of Ling City. If the villas on Jindu West Road were the territory of high officials, Meishan Villa was the center of power.

Yun Feiyang, known as the number one cultivator of Ling City, resided in the Meishan Villa district.

In the villa’s living room, a man sat opposite Yun Feiyang, currently reporting the major recent events in Ling City.

Yun Feiyang interrupted the man, asking, “What about that Spirit Stone Vein now?”

The man was taken aback but soon responded, “According to reliable information, the owner of the Spirit Stone Vein is still Li Xiaoyao. Ninety percent belongs to him, and ten percent to the state, collected on behalf by Cheng Dongliang.”

“Ninety percent?” Yun Feiyang was somewhat surprised. His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table as he thought aloud, “This Li Xiaoyao, what kind of background does he have?”
