Chapter 768: 768 The Death of Lin Zhushuang【2 more updates】

Ever since she expelled Lin Weilan from the Lin Family and ascended to the position of Supreme Elder, Lin Zhushuang considered herself unprecedentedly successful.

The people she envied could only be trampled under her feet for a lifetime, including their descendants.

But starting from yesterday, Lin Shiyuan suddenly acted against the other four families, catching her off guard.

Lin Zhushuang was genuinely afraid, terror written in her eyes.

Back then, when Lin Weilan was harmed by the Atlantians, she had, of course, played a part.

Otherwise, with Lin Weilan’s strength, she might not have been able to defeat the Atlantians, but she wouldn’t have been seriously injured either.

Over the years, Lin Zhushuang watched coldly as Lin Weilan was tormented by illness, giving her immense satisfaction.

This satisfaction peaked when Lin Weilan died.

No matter how much Lin Weilan’s talent and cultivation surpassed hers, what did it matter?

Didn’t she still end up with such a miserable fate?

Unexpectedly, she thought she would enjoy wealth and glory for a lifetime because of her position as Supreme Elder of the Lin Family, living in comfort and ease.

But how did it end up like this?

Lin Shiyuan actually handed her over to Ye Wanlan?!

"Like sisters with my grandmother?" Ye Wanlan nodded slightly at Lin Zhushuang, "Then coincidentally, whatever you have to say, you can say it to her down there."

She gave Lin Zhushuang no time to react, directly grasping her jaw and dislocating it with a "click."

"..."

The scene fell into dead silence.

The swiftness and brutality of her actions made even Lin Shiyuan’s eyelids twitch.

Ye Wanlan stuffed a pill into Lin Zhushuang’s mouth and reattached her jaw.

"Cough cough... Cough!" Lin Zhushuang’s expression was terrified as she clutched her throat, "What did you give me?"

She continued to retch, attempting to expel the pill to no avail.

"A new poison concocted by the Su Family Master, an upgraded version of Bone Melting Water," Ye Wanlan said unhurriedly, looking at Lin Shiyuan, "It allows a living person to slowly watch themselves turn into a puddle of water within 15 minutes."

Lin Shiyuan nodded lightly, "This poison is quite useful."

"Of course, it’s useful." Ye Wanlan’s gaze fell again on Lin Zhushuang, who was writhing in pain on the ground, "Dealing with an enemy without even shedding blood."

Lin Zhushuang felt as if her blood was burning, the scorching sensation spreading to her limbs, and her fingers began to melt.

"Ah—!" Lin Zhushuang screamed, disregarding her dignity and composure, she began to beg, "Save me! Please save me!"

"Fortunately, you and my grandmother weren’t real sisters." Ye Wanlan leaned down, her voice indifferent, "Because the biggest difference between her and you is that she would never beg an enemy for mercy."

Time passed second by second, and as 15 minutes elapsed, Lin Zhushuang completely dissolved into a puddle of water.

Aside from Lin Shiyuan, the members of the Lin Family couldn’t help but step back.

Seeing a living person dissolve like that was extremely brutal.

"You’ve also killed someone, now it’s time to fulfill your vow." Lin Shiyuan’s gaze bore a potent pressure, "Since you’ve returned so early, let me also tell you, not only the Xiang Family, but the Huo Family has also been surrounded."

She hoped to see fear in Ye Wanlan’s eyes, but unfortunately, not an ounce of such emotion was present.

Ye Wanlan even smiled, "True, once the Xiang and Huo families submit, the whole of Yunjing will belong to the Lin Family. The combat power of the Su and Rong families is too low to form a climate, but they serve a purpose."

Lin Shiyuan’s brow furrowed slightly.

Everything Ye Wanlan said greatly pleased her.

Ye Wanlan spoke again, "Therefore, I have one more condition."

"Ye Wanlan, don’t push your luck!" Steward Lin shouted angrily, "If Miss Shiyuan didn’t find you useful, she’d have killed you long ago, and yet you’re here setting conditions?"

To everyone’s surprise, Lin Shiyuan was exceptionally tolerant, she asked calmly, "What condition?"

"Let Sister Yingxia heal first." Ye Wanlan remained calm as well, "She is a respected elder of mine, I don’t want her to suffer lasting ailments."

"A small matter, she’s at the Xiang Family." Lin Shiyuan’s fingers tapped lightly on the table, "Forcing the Xiang and Huo families to submit will also take time."

Steward Lin had no choice but to withdraw.

Only then did Ye Wanlan wipe the blood off her hands and turn to leave.

"Everyone else, leave as well." Lin Shiyuan waved everyone away and summoned the Dark Guard Captain, "Have Huo Yunyi and Xiang Shaoyu not returned to Yunjing yet?"

"Reporting to Miss Shiyuan, they have not." The Dark Guard Captain responded respectfully, "It’s unknown whether they went out for training or to execute some important task."

"Hmm." Lin Shiyuan said lightly, "Since they’re out, there’s no need for them to return. Once their tracks are discovered, there’s no need to report it, kill them instantly."

The Dark Guard Captain obliged, "Yes, Miss Shiyuan!"

Everyone left, leaving Lin Shiyuan alone in the hall.

"Have you been too lenient and indulgent with that Ye Wanlan?" a voice echoed gently, "She’s clearly betting on the fact that you won’t kill her, constantly making demands."

"The situation is under my control, I’m still in the mood to play with her a bit." Lin Shiyuan was unconcerned, "I hope she knows when to stop and doesn’t test my limits."

The voice sighed, "Shiyuan, you’re a person of wisdom, but sometimes you should remember that being too clever can backfire."

"Rest assured." Lin Shiyuan’s expression was indifferent, "I won’t show mercy to anyone, and when it’s time to kill, I will."

**

Rong Jingqiu, Su Yingxia, and Patriarch Xiang were all under house arrest.

Although Patriarch Xiang was knocked out by Lin Shiyuan with one move, he wasn’t seriously injured. After being given a pill by Rong Jingqiu, he soon slowly regained consciousness.

Su Yingxia, however, was nearly killed by Lin Shiyuan. Even after taking a life-saving pill, she still hasn’t woken up.

Rong Jingqiu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do.

"Uncle Rong." A voice rang out as the door was pushed open, "You protect me, I’ll do it."

Rong Jingqiu turned sharply and was taken aback, "Miss Ye?!"

Patriarch Xiang heard the voice and laboriously turned his head, "Miss Ye, at this moment shouldn’t you be..."

"It’s me, I’ve returned." Ye Wanlan didn’t say much, quickly walking to the bedside and taking out a needle.

This needle was neither a Golden Needle nor a Silver Needle.

It was the Life and Death Needle used by Shui Yunqing, the Master of Taiyi Palace!

The Life and Death Needle, true to its name, could reverse life and death.

"That Lin Shiyuan, she’s truly insane!" Patriarch Xiang took a deep breath, "And her strength is unfathomable; I wasn’t even her match in a single move."

Given that he wasn’t, the Elders of the Xiang Family wouldn’t be either.

Ye Wanlan inserted the Life and Death Needle into Su Yingxia’s vital acupoint, speaking calmly, "Because she’s not Lin Shiyuan."

"!"

Rong Jingqiu and Patriarch Xiang’s expressions turned to shock instantly.
