Chapter 27: Getting a Niece-in-Law for Free; The Annihilation of the Wild Dog Gang

"Ah!?"

The woman was slightly stunned.

Lin Xuan's words left her somewhat bewildered.

The woman in black prided herself on her full figure, her decent appearance, and her status as a minor Yuan Dan Realm expert. Yet, this powerhouse before her showed no interest in her at all and even wanted to give her away to his junior.

"So what? Your clan has been destroyed, and you are now homeless. I am finding you a home—is that not a good thing!?"

"Furthermore, the person I am finding for you is also in the minor Yuan Dan Realm. He won't disrespect you," Lin Xuan said with a slight smile.

The person Lin Xuan had in mind was his most favored junior, Lin Yang.

Lin Yang's wife had passed away early, and he had remained unmarried and childless. Because of this, his father, Lin Wu, was extremely worried.

In recent years, Lin Wu had been constantly urging him to take another wife to produce an heir for their lineage. Lin Yang had not refused, but finding a suitable match of equal social standing was far too difficult.

Lin Yang was also someone who preferred being single over settling for less, which resulted in him still being without a wife.

But this woman in black had a decent appearance, a graceful figure, and was a minor Yuan Dan Realm expert. She was a perfect match for Lin Yang—an excellent niece-in-law!

"I... I have no objection."

The woman bit her lip lightly. Now that her people were in someone else's hands, how could she possibly have an objection?

Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction. "What is your name? What is the name of the clan that destroyed your Yuan family, and what is their strength? Tell me everything, one by one."

The woman in black nodded slightly and sat up straight.

"My name is Yuan Ying. I am thirty-five years old and was born into the Yuan family. The one that destroyed us is the Wild Dog Gang, a powerful force in Baiyin Pass. Their leader is at the late stage of the Great Yuan Dan Realm, and there is also a second leader at the Great Yuan Dan Realm, along with seven or eight minor Yuan Dan Realm experts."

Yuan Ying's words sent Lin Xuan into a moment of deep thought. How could a random force like the Wild Dog Gang be more formidable than the Lin family?!

The Wild Dog Gang—the name was certainly wild enough!

"The Wild Dog Gang, is it? Do they have any backing?"

Lin Xuan needed to clarify this. If the Wild Dog Gang was backed by something like the Spirit Martial Sect or the East Heaven King Mansion, Lin Xuan would have to keep his distance. The Lin family currently lacked the strength to go head-to-head with such powers.

"Yes. Behind the Wild Dog Gang is the Cui family of Huaqing Prefecture."

Lin Xuan: [?]

It truly was a narrow path for enemies!

Wasn't this Cui family running straight into his line of fire?

The Cui family and Lin Xuan were already mortal enemies. Since there was now an opportunity to kill one of the Cui family's dogs, Lin Xuan was more than willing.

Seeing Lin Xuan fall silent, Yuan Ying watched him cautiously, fearing that he might be intimidated by the Cui family.

If that were truly the case, her Yuan family's vengeance might never be avenged in this lifetime!

"Heh, if you were talking about other matters, I would have to weigh my options. But since it involves the Cui family's influence, I must help you wipe out that Wild Dog Gang," Lin Xuan said with a chuckle.

Overjoyed, Yuan Ying immediately dropped to her knees before Lin Xuan with a "thud."

"Stop kneeling all day. Rest here for today. Give me the address of the Wild Dog Gang and the names of their high-ranking members. I'm going there right now."

Lin Xuan believed in the principle of acting immediately when business arose.

"Great expert, the strength of the Wild Dog Gang is quite formidable," Yuan Ying said weakly.

"Don't worry about that. Just give me the address," Lin Xuan said impatiently.

"It is on Daxing Street, east of Baiyin Pass. The Wild Dog Gang's manor is there, and all their high-ranking members are present," Yuan Ying replied immediately.

"Good. Wait for me here. If I wipe out the Wild Dog Gang and you try to flee, then pray that I don't catch you. Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Lin Xuan's words were chilling. After saying this, he leaped directly out of the window.

He left Yuan Ying sitting on the stool, staring blankly.

...

The Wild Dog Gang

The Wild Dog Gang was just like its name: a gang consisting of a pack of wild dogs that only knew how to bite.

The Wild Dog Gang bit anyone they could catch, causing all the large and small factions in Baiyin Pass to fear them.

The leader of the gang was named Chen Gou, a late-stage Great Yuan Dan Realm expert. He was a figure who could walk sideways through all of Baiyin Pass.

Inside the Wild Dog Gang's headquarters, Chen Gou appeared to be in a fit of rage.

*Smash!*

A cup was slammed heavily onto the ground, shattering into several pieces.

"You useless wastes! You couldn't even catch a single injured girl? You actually let that wench escape!?"

Inside the Wild Dog Gang's manor, three minor Yuan Dan Realm high-ranking members knelt on the ground, trembling. Chen Gou paced back and forth in the hall with his hands on his hips, his expression extremely grim. Combined with the scars on his face, he looked incredibly tyrannical.

"Leader, by the time we chased her to the inn, that wench had already vanished. We intended to search the inn, but there was a Great Yuan Dan Realm expert staying there. We didn't dare provoke them," the middle official said with tears and snot, terrified that his leader would hack him to death.

"Great Yuan Dan Realm?"

Chen Gou frowned slightly.

"Even a Great Yuan Dan Realm expert has to grovel before me, Chen Gou, in this Baiyin Pass!"

Chen Gou spoke with a cold tone. The opportunity of the Tongxing Realm must belong to him!

"Leader, there is no time to lose. We should take men to the inn immediately, otherwise, that person might flee out of fear of our Wild Dog Gang," the second leader said, stepping forward.

"Makes sense. Gather the men and go to the inn. Find that fellow for me!" Chen Gou roared.

"Are you looking for me?!"

Suddenly, Lin Xuan walked directly through the main entrance. As for the few "wild dogs" guarding the door, Lin Xuan had casually slit their throats.

As Lin Xuan walked in, the entire hall of Wild Dog Gang members stood up as if facing a great enemy.

"Is it you, old man, who is hiding the person I want!?"

The leader of the Wild Dog Gang, Chen Gou, referred to himself as "This Seat," which left Lin Xuan stunned.

Since when did every stray cat and dog dare to call themselves "This Seat"?!

"Heh, I take the money and settle the trouble. Your Wild Dog Gang is due for destruction today," Lin Xuan said with a smile, drawing the Sky Shadow Sword from his storage bag.

"Old man, who do you think you are, daring to attempt the destruction of my Wild Dog Gang!?"

Furious, Chen Gou instantly charged at Lin Xuan with intense killing intent. It was clear that this Chen Gou had spilled plenty of blood!

"Four Seasons Sword Technique: Desolate Autumn Wind!"

Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with sharp light. The Sky Shadow Sword in his hand instantly unsheathed, and a streak of sword light flashed through the hall, leaving everyone frozen in place.

As for Chen Gou, he stood perfectly upright where he was—except his head was gone.

The leader of the Wild Dog Gang was dead!

The crowd was horrified. Their leader had died just like that!?

"Don't even think about leaving. Scorching Summer Heat!"

Looking at the remaining gang members attempting to flee, Lin Xuan unleashed a move of Scorching Summer Heat, burning down the Wild Dog Gang that had dominated Baiyin Pass for seven or eight years!
