Chapter 351 - 351 351 The Final Battle Arrives

Chapter 351: Chapter 351: The Final Battle Arrives Chapter 351: Chapter 351: The Final Battle Arrives Lin Nanluo was dumbstruck, staring at Jing Yan with widened eyes.

Jing Yan’s tone was simply too audacious!

Wipe out the Zhao and Cai Families?

If the Zhao and Cai families were so easy to deal with, then the Jing and Lin families wouldn’t be in such pain that it rattled their livers!

However, Jing Yan did not err in saying one thing—that the Jing and Lin families were now in the same boat, and if that boat capsized, both clans would meet their doom.

The Lin Family had no chance to back out now, as the Zhao and Cai families had already taken an absolute advantage.

A large portion of the small forces within Donglin City had already openly sided with the Zhao Family, leaving no opportunity for the Lin Family to extricate themselves.

Moreover, even if the Zhao Family were to agree and allow the Lin Family to withdraw now, Lin Nanluo dared not trust them.

After the Zhao Family had eliminated the Jing Family, the next one they’d target would undoubtedly be the Lin Family.

Lin Nanluo was no fool.

“Lin Clan Leader, I won’t hide it from you.

Although Jing Yan has not ascended to the Dao Spirit Realm, he has killed Martial Artists of the Dao Spirit Realm.

Hence, if our two families unite, we might have a chance to survive this crisis,” Jing Chengye said to the dumbstruck Lin Nanluo with a smile.

“What?” Lin Nanluo’s breath caught in his throat.

Just a moment ago, he was dumbstruck because Jing Yan’s words felt like a daydream.

But now, hearing Jing Chengye’s words, he was genuinely shocked.

He found it hard to believe.

Yet he understood that at this point, there was no need for Jing Chengye to deceive him.

Which meant that what Jing Chengye said must be the truth.

“The Clan Leader is absolutely right.

Back at Dao Yi Academy, I killed a Martial Artist in the early stages of the Dao Spirit Realm.

Zhao Dangyuan is at the early stages of the Dao Spirit Realm, right?

If it’s one-on-one, I am confident I can kill him,” Jing Yan added with a smile.

In fact, Jing Yan was hiding some truth.

His current strength was much more formidable than when he’d slain Qian Zhen.

The situation being unclear at the moment, Jing Yan felt it better not to fully reveal his capabilities too soon.

“Jing Clan Patriarch, Jing Yan, I will go back now to prepare, to mobilize the Lin Family to prepare for a do-or-die battle!” Lin Nanluo inhaled deeply and spoke resolutely.

“Good!” Jing Chengye nodded emphatically.

…

Zhao Family Mansion!

“Who is it?”

“Who is it, who could it be?

Who killed our Great Elder?

Who?

Damn it, I will tear them to shreds!”

Zhao Dangyuan’s angry roar echoed from within the Clan Chief’s Courtyard.

The news that the South District Market Management Office had been swept clean had reached the Zhao Family, and the body of the Great Elder Zhao had also been brought back inside the Zhao Family Mansion.

“The Great Elder was a Martial Artist at the Peak of Innate, his strength formidable.

Anyone who could silently kill the Great Elder and dozens of Zhao Family Guards must be extraordinary, surely at the level of the Dao Spirit Realm!” Grandma San Ying said, squinting her turbid eyes.

“How could this happen?”

“How could there be a Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist acting against our Zhao Family?” Zhao Dangyuan gritted his teeth.

“Patriarch Zhao, I think the time to act has come.

Any further delays might lead to more complications,” Grandma San Ying said with a venomous tone.

As it happened, Grandma San Ying had no previous grudge against the Jing Family.

Their enmity began when Jing Yan killed Long Chenyu; at that time, San Ying had wanted to kill Jing Yan but was stopped by Huo Chunyang.

From then on, San Ying redirected her hatred toward the entire Jing Family.

So this time, she was firmly on the side of the Zhao Family, prepared to help them extinguish the Jing Family.

“Grandma San Ying is right; we shouldn’t delay any longer.

Now that we have full control over the situation in Donglin City, it’s time to take action and reap the rewards!” After pondering briefly, Zhao Dangyuan made his decision.

“Cai Family Patriarch, lead the Cai Family’s strong members and encircle the Jing Family from the north.

My Zhao Family will attack from the front.

After exterminating the Jing Family, we immediately move against the Lin Family.

Both families must be destroyed today!” Zhao Dangyuan ordered.

“Yes!” Cai Family Patriarch Cai Yunjian complied and left.

Thirty minutes later, all of Donglin City was abuzz.

On the streets, inside restaurants, and within tea houses!

“The battle is starting!”

“The Four Great Families of Donglin City are going to battle!”

“Yes, the forces of the Zhao and Cai families have all made their moves.

From Clan Leader Zhang Lai to members of the Guard Teams, all are mobilized.”

“The final battle is upon us.”

“Let’s go and watch!”

“Go watch?

Aren’t you afraid of getting caught in the crossfire?”

“What’s there to be afraid of?

If I watch from afar and don’t get too close, will they just kill anyone they see?”

The numerous Martial Artists of Donglin City were also moving toward the Jing Family Mansion.

A skirmish among the Four Great Families was not something one saw every day, and most of these Martial Artists, being adventurers, were not going to miss out on the action due to danger.

Additionally, many hoped to come out with some benefits from the chaos.

With two major families possibly being wiped out, those who were opportunistic enough could likely snatch some of their resources.

The vast majority believed that the Jing Family would be eliminated today and perhaps Donglin City would no longer have a Jing Family or even the Lin Family afterward.

Perhaps in the future, there would only be the Zhao and Cai families, or maybe just the Zhao Family.

The Cai Family would be merely a faction dependent on the Zhao Family, going east whenever the Zhao Family said so, never daring to go west.

“What do you think, how long can the Jing Family hold on?”

“I’d say, at most two hours!

Without a Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist, the Jing Family simply cannot hold on.

The Jing Clan Patriarch and Elders, Innate Realm Martial Artists, might be able to keep a Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist at bay for a while.

But remember, on the Zhao Family’s side, there are at least two Dao Spirit Realm experts.”

“I think it’s hard to say.

Maybe the Jing Family still has some cards they haven’t played yet.

Besides, the situation inside the City Lord Mansion is also unclear.

Although the City Lord is missing, the City Lord’s Wife has always been favorable towards the Jing Family.

Will she stand idly by while the Zhao Family takes action?”

The speculations swirled around the city.

Jing Family Mansion!

“Clan Leader!

Clan Leader!

It’s bad, it’s bad!”

An urgent cry pierced through the mansion.

“Zhao and Cai families’ forces are all moving toward our Jing Family Mansion.

In thirty minutes, they will have us surrounded,” a Jing Family spy hurried back to the mansion, reporting the news to the Clan Leader and the Elders.

“So soon?”

“What’s meant to come will come.

There’s no escaping it!

So, let’s fight!”

“Kill!

Hmph, if they want to eliminate our Jing Family, they will have to pay a heavy price!” Jing Family Elders shouted, Qi condensed in their voices.

“Gather the troops, prepare for battle!” Clan Leader Jing Chengye commanded, waving his hand.

“Yes!” One by one, Jing Family Guards quickly left the mansion to head toward those smaller clans and forces that might be able to help the Jing Family.
