Chapter 45: The News Spreads

A red sun jumped out of the morning mist, and ten thousand rays of light illuminated the whole world. The morning mist gradually receded in the sunlight, and the whole world suddenly became clear.

After the heavy rain, the leaves are fresher and greener than usual, and the leaves with raindrops shake in the morning breeze, and the water droplets fall like a shower in the soft sandy soil.

After the rain, the sun poked its head out again, Qingshui City gradually became active from its sleep, and the streets were full of people.

A heavy rain seemed to wash away everything last night, and it didn't seem to have any impact on the people in Clear Water City, and everyone continued to live as usual.

However, in some corners, there are quite a few people who are cautiously exchanging heads.

"Do you know, the Wang family was destroyed last night, I heard that the Lin family did it!"

"Yes, overnight, the entire Wang family was razed to the ground by the Lin family, it's really terrifying!"

"Who said it wasn't, that scene is really unforgettable for the rest of my life!"

The news of the destruction of the Wang family, after a night of fermentation, was like an earth-shattering wave, which instantly swept the entire Qingshui City.

All the people who had a little bit of power in Qingshui City were stunned by this sudden news, as if they had thrown a boulder into the calm lake, and it set off a big wave in an instant.

When the leaders of the various forces heard the report of their subordinates, they thought that they had hallucinations, and it was not until after repeated confirmation that they knew that the Wang family was indeed destroyed by the Lin family last night, and they immediately felt like they were on pins and needles.

You must know that the Wang family is an existence with the same name as the Lin family and the Qian family, and it can be regarded as a behemoth in Qingshui City, and the head of the family, Wang Changde, and the three elders are even the top masters, how could they be easily destroyed by the Lin family overnight.

It is precisely because the three major families are afraid of each other and maintain a balance that those small forces can barely survive in the cracks, and now this balance can no longer be maintained, and everyone is thinking about the way out in the future.

The various forces sent countless men to test each other's opinions to see how to preserve themselves in this monstrous wave.

Especially those forces who took refuge in the Wang family, they were even more anxious, they knew that they must belong to the ranks of the purged, and immediately hurriedly looked for their own way to survive.

They either immediately prepared a generous gift and sent it to the Lin family in person, preparing to change their doors and join the Lin family, or they scattered and fled and left Qingshui City.

Even the royal family that dominated the side was destroyed, not to mention their small forces.

Among the leaders of these forces, the highest cultivation is only the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow, and the Lin family, whose morale is at its peak, is like a mantis arm as a car, and it will be wiped out in an instant.

Everyone is an old fox, where would they do such a stupid thing.

In Qingshui City, which is calm on the surface, there are undercurrents surging underneath, and the center of the undercurrent is the Lin family, which is in the limelight.

And the Lin family, at this time, was busy receiving all kinds of wealth left by the Wang family, and they were very busy, and the entire Lin family revealed a joyful atmosphere, where can they take into account the reaction of the outside world.

The people of Qingshui City didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the city, but they just felt a little strange that some shops on the street were not open today, and they didn't interfere much with their lives.

For ordinary people, the world of martial artists is too far away from them, just like two different worlds, no matter which force rises, it doesn't make much difference to them, and life still has to go on.

In the middle of a vast house in the east of the city, a huge building is located in it, more than two zhang high, more than ten zhang wide, flying eaves and arches, carved beams and painted columns, the momentum is very majestic.

The pale yellow glazed tile roof, against the rising sun, shines a brilliant golden light, showing the brilliance of gold and majesty.

The house is surrounded by three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the guards are very tight, closely monitoring everything around them, not letting go of any movement around.

On the contrary, in the hall, the atmosphere was very depressing and dull, and a group of warriors who exuded a strong momentum at a glance knew that they were usually in a high position sitting in it, their faces were solemn, and they were all silent.

Sitting at the top was Qian Zhenrui, the head of the Qian family, who had lost the smile he often had on his face at this moment, his face was gloomy, his brows were frowning, his eyes were tightly closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Family master, what is the situation now, why did the Wang family let the Lin family be destroyed?"

I don't know how long it took, and finally someone couldn't stand the heavy atmosphere and asked Qian Zhenrui, breaking the silence.

The others were also greatly relieved, and if they continued to stuff like this, they were really about to be driven crazy, and they also spoke nonsense.

"Yes! It stands to reason that the strength of the Lin family is not much different from our Qian family and the Wang family, how could they destroy the Wang family so easily?"

"That's right, and according to our investigation, their own strength has not been greatly damaged, and there are no casualties at all, how did they do it?"

"Besides, there was no warning in advance of this matter, and the attack was launched suddenly, and the action was inevitably too fast!"

"Master of the family, you want to have an idea, what should our Qian family do?"

Suddenly, the hall changed from lonely and silent to full of people, and everyone looked at Qian Zhenrui intently, hoping that he could lead the Qian family through this difficult time in front of them.

Qian Zhenrui has always been the pillar of the Qian family, leading the Qian family through countless crises, and now everyone is putting their hopes on him.

Qian Zhenrui opened his eyes suddenly, and a white light seemed to flash in the hall, looking at the elders in front of him with a flustered expression, a faint look of disappointment in his eyes flashed.

The elders of the Qian family are also experienced in a hundred battles, and they don't know how many lives they have taken under their hands, but now that they haven't fought yet, they are already in chaos, and they don't know what to do, they will only wait for him to come up with an idea.

However, this can't all be blamed on them, you know, the Lin family can easily destroy the Wang family, so it is not difficult to destroy the Qian family, which is similar in strength to the Wang family, no wonder they are all panicked.

"Enough! Look what you look like! Before they get hit, they are all flustered, how can the Qian family still rely on you!"

Qian Zhenrui squinted his eyes slightly, there was only a bottomless silence in his eyes, and suddenly his expression sank, he slapped the table suddenly, and shouted loudly.

Seeing the stern gaze in Qian Zhenrui's eyes, the elders below suddenly became stumbling, a rare blush, coughed a few times in embarrassment, and a few drops of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and they were speechless for a while.

"Qiqi family master, the Lin family sent a letter, saying that the family head was asked to open it himself!"

At this time, a guard outside the door walked in, holding a letter in both hands, and respectfully addressed Qian Zhenrui.

"Pick it up!"

Qian Zhenrui took the letter, waved his hand to let the guard retreat first, and wanted to open it to read it.

One of the elders below hurriedly came out and persuaded: "Slow! Family master, be careful that there are ghosts in the letter, let's check it first!"

"Don't worry, I've been dealing with Old Ghost Lin for decades, what kind of person he is, I know very well, he has always done things above board, and he will never do such a bad thing!"

Qian Zhenrui smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and opened the letter in his hand without hesitation, only to see that there were several pieces of white letter paper in the envelope, which were densely filled with words.

The hall fell silent for a moment, except for the rustle of flipping through the papers.

As the letter flipped through, Qian Zhenrui was silent, but the solemnity in his eyes obviously dissipated, and the familiar smile resurfaced on his face.
