On the other end of the communicator, Lin Youyang, the patriarch of the Lin family, kept calling, "Hello, hello?" seemingly puzzled as to why his son had contacted him but said nothing.
Little could he imagine that his spoiled, pampered son, whom he doted on endlessly, had already been mercilessly slain on the spot!
Looking at Lin Chen's lifeless corpse on the ground, Su Xiaobai's anger did not subside.
He had no idea why the Lin family had suddenly come after him.
Even though I have been keeping a low profile and refraining from provoking anyone, there always seemed to be some blind fools looking to stir up trouble!
And this isn't the first time with the Lin family.
Last time, at the Pill Treasure Pavilion, Lin Chen had sent two advanced warriors to track him, only for them to be killed on the spot.
This time was even worse.
They actually dared to target Su Ling'er!
This was Su Xiaobai's greatest taboo!
Whoever touched it would die!
"Go. Kill all the Lin family members stationed outside!"
At Su Xiaobai's command, six shadows simultaneously moved to carry out the order.
He raised his hand, flames leaping from his palm, and with a light slap to the ground, a giant flame hand, larger than a person, slammed down on Lin Chen's body, reducing him to ashes in an instant!
This was the highest-level True Flame Hand, so powerful that even an intermediate martial general would struggle to withstand it.
"Ling'er, are you okay? Were you hurt?" Su Xiaobai asked with concern.
"Brother, who were those people? Why did they want to capture Xiao Bai Long?" Su Ling'er, still frightened, asked with wide eyes.
"They're just insignificant villains. Don't worry, I've already dealt with them."
"Come on, let's check on Xiao Bai Long."
Su Xiaobai walked up to Xiao Bai Long, which was trapped in an iron chain net.
Xiao Bai Long looked at Su Xiaobai and let out a series ofya yacries.
A streak of blood light flashed, and the iron chain net was cut apart.
Xiao Bai Long broke free, ran to Su Xiaobai, and rubbed against his leg affectionately, as if thanking him for the rescue.
"Here, this is aLife-Nourishing Blood Pill. It can heal your wounds perfectly!"
Su Xiaobai took out several fourth-grade pills and fed them to Xiao Bai Long.
Although Xiao Bai Long naturally possessed rapid healing abilities, the pills would speed up the recovery even more.
After swallowing a few pills, Xiao Bai Long's wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Let's go. We need to leave this place for now and find somewhere to hide!"
Su Xiaobai glanced at his shattered villa estate.
As one of the four major families, the Lin family commanded numerous intermediate martial generals, advanced martial generals, and even a genuine martial commander.
Now that their sole heir, Lin Chen, had been killed at his hands, the Lin family would not let this go.
Though Su Xiaobai's current strength allowed him to crush intermediate martial generals and stand toe-to-toe with advanced ones, killing an advanced martial general or facing a martial commander—beings who transcended the mortal realm—was nearly impossible!
So until he gained absolute power, he needed to find a place to lay low.
It wouldn't take long.
The Qiankun Technique, the Immovable King Sutra, four Lesser Transcendent techniques, and the 4,092x automatic cultivation speed all indicated that it wouldn't be long before he made a comeback!
At that time, no Lin family, no four major families, and nothing in Base 18 would be able to threaten him!
With that, Su Xiaobai left the villa estate with Su Ling'er and Xiao Bai Long in tow.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to loot Lin Chen completely.
As expected of a major family heir, Lin Chen was extravagantly wealthy.
Spirit coins weren't stored in bank cards but piled high in a spatial ring. Rare treasures, weapons, and other valuable items were scattered everywhere.
The accumulated wealth in the spatial ring alone was worth at least tens of billions!
The most surprising find for Su Xiaobai was a Lesser Transcendent body-refinement technique within the ring!
"Your life and your treasures—I'll take them all!"
The other Lin family martial masters had been killed by his shadows, and all their spoils were transferred directly to his Qiankun Space. This made things much more convenient.
Three hours after Lin Chen's death, the Lin family finally learned of his demise.
As Su Xiaobai expected, the Lin family was furious. Lin Youyang, the family patriarch, flew into a rage, losing all reason and killing several Lin family warriors on the spot!
Lin Chen had been his only son.
From a young age, Lin Chen had been spoiled, arrogant, and self-centered.
Yet it couldn't be denied that he had some intelligence and had achieved notable accomplishments, making him the obvious successor to the family.
But now Lin Chen was dead, with not even his bones left behind. How could Lin Youyang not be enraged?
That very day, Lin Youyang issued a kill order for Su Xiaobai.
He even dispatched two advanced martial generals to conduct a city-wide search in Base 18.
Even if they had to scour every inch of the city, they were determined to find Su Xiaobai and avenge Lin Chen!
In a residential neighborhood on the outskirts of the city.
Thanks to Su Xiaobai's generous payment of 10,000 spirit coins, the landlord happily allowed the two siblings and Xiao Bai Long to move in without asking any questions.
"Brother! I want to cultivate too. Will you teach me?" Su Ling'er asked. "Those villains were terrible. I want to become as strong as you so they can't hurt Xiao Bai Long anymore!"
Xiao Bai Long, seemingly understanding Su Ling'er's words, affectionately rubbed its head against her face, letting out a series ofya yacries.
"All right, I'll teach you the techniques and guide your cultivation!"
Su Xiaobai nodded in approval.
Su Ling'er's desire to grow stronger pleased Su Xiaobai greatly.
After all, being perpetually protected would prevent her from maturing. Only by recognizing her own weakness could she truly yearn for power!
As Su Ling'er went to feed Xiao Bai Long with beast meat, Su Xiaobai pulled out the five Lesser Transcendent techniques he had obtained that day.
Four were from the woman in the Beast Treasure Pavilion, and one was from Lin Chen. Follow current novels on NovelHub(.)net
Su Xiaobai glanced over them.
They included three body-refinement techniques:Ten Absolute Heavenly Gang Body,Heavenly Mechanism Step, andUnified Law Codex.
One weapon technique:Chasing Sun Blade.
And one elemental technique:Burning Heaven Flame!
