In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 322 Forever
"You think I'll just go because you tell me to?"

Xie Lingxin immediately retorted.

Contrary to his expectations, the so-called Golden-Winged Sea-Splitter was not enraged. Instead, he calmly said:
Whether you come or not is up to you.

Xie Lingxin's mind raced, but she said, "So you're so easygoing? You took those people away to threaten me, weren't you?"

"Ah……"

A laugh came from the other end, tinged with absurdity and disdain.

"Threatening you? It seems you are indeed confident. No wonder, in a place like Leizhou, someone like you would naturally receive countless praises. You are so young, it's easy to get lost in it."

No matter what, Xie Lingxin never admits defeat verbally.

This old guy is clearly mocking Leizhou, and mocking himself as a toad, a frog in a well with a limited view of the sky.

"You proud scions of noble families have all fallen in the countryside you look down upon, haven't you? It seems that noble families are nothing special after all. How can I respect them?"

"..."

The voice on the other end remained calm: "Further words are pointless. Since you're so protective of this place, you probably don't want to see it disappear, do you?"

"If you want to talk, then come and meet me at the place where you killed Yu Xiang. If you don't want to, that's fine too."

After saying that, the phone hung up.

Xie Lingxin's heart skipped a beat.

He knew that I had killed Jin Yuxiang.

Many people probably guessed this.

But it was just a guess, yet this person was very certain of it.

Putting aside the reasons, he was a member of the Kim family, and he knew that he had killed Kim Ok-sang, yet he remained so calm.

Although he didn't say it outright, there were actually two people in the special task force that he was always wary of.

One is Xiao Longtu, and the other is this Golden-Winged Sea-Splitter.

The former is a member of the Xiao family, and he had a considerable grudge against Xiao Yan before.

The latter goes without saying.

But so far, neither of them has done anything to target me.

Whether the Golden-Winged Sea-Splitter was genuinely indifferent or had already figured out what was going on, it was unclear.

But after thinking it over, Xie Lingxin decided to go anyway.

There's no escaping something like this.

Anyway, with the small hoe, there's nothing to be afraid of. If there's anything we can't handle, we can just run away.

Despite his thoughts, he still made thorough preparations and brought Wangcai along as well.

They then stepped onto the balance ball and headed towards the East China Sea.

……

Upon arriving at the valley where Jin Yuxiang had been killed, Xie Lingxin discovered that the building that Wangcai had destroyed had been rebuilt exactly as it had been.

"You are indeed here."

Golden-Winged Sea-Splitter stood in front of that building, seemingly knowing he would come.

"I'm here. You can say what you want to say now."

Golden-Winged Sea-Breaking was unremarkable in appearance; apart from his shiny bald head, he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man.

But Xie Lingxin dared not underestimate this person.

Because he remembered the man's title—the Dragon-Eating Monk.

The Federation's titled experts don't have titles given out casually.

To have such a fierce reputation, one must have real achievements.

Golden Wings Split the Sea said calmly, "Putting everything else aside, you are indeed very bold. After killing Jin Yuxiang, you still dare to appear in front of me alone."

Xie Lingxin pointed at him: "Don't slander me. I am a law-abiding citizen and would never do anything illegal."

Golden Wings Split the Sea said, "You don't need to panic. I told you before, if I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be alive today."

Xie Ling thought to herself, "Hey, anyone can brag. If you called me here just to listen to your bragging, I don't have that much time."

Golden-Winged Sea-Piercing Sword didn't dwell on this, and walked sideways with his hands behind his back: "Do you know what a noble family is?"

Without waiting for Xie Lingxin's reply, he said to himself, "Only those families with illustrious lineage, whose generations have continued uninterrupted for a thousand years, can be called a distinguished family."

"This is the common understanding."

"But there is one more thing that has been overlooked or is simply unknown to people."

"In ancient times, the so-called aristocratic families were those where kings and nobles founded states and their descendants inherited the throne."

"This is what a true aristocratic family is like!"

"It was like this in ancient times, and the Federation is no different. It should be said that this has never changed since the continuation of human civilization."

"During the Great Devastation, humanity gathered by surnames, forming clans and tribes to resist the disaster. Later, three hundred and sixty surnames led humanity through the Great Devastation and began the Great Recovery."

"It was these 360 ​​surnames that created the Federation."

"What is a federation? It's because these 360 ​​surnames are essentially 360 states."

Golden-Winged Sea-Splitter turned around and said, "So, now you know whose federation the Federation really is?"

This was the first time Xie Lingxin had heard this claim.

It wasn't mentioned in the federal history or other classes I took in school.

I haven't heard of it through any channels.

If this claim is true, it has likely been deliberately concealed.

Xie Ling thought to herself, "Why are you telling me all this? What does it have to do with me? Is this a threat?"

"Ah……"

The Golden-Winged Sea-Splitter let out a laugh.

The laughter was the same as the one I heard on the phone earlier; the words were indeed absurd and disdainful.

He shook his head: "You shouldn't use threats like that in front of powerful families anymore."

It is a kind of superiority that is engraved in one's bones and hidden behind indifference and indifference.

Just like a human threatening an ant, it's a statement that's... not even a joke, and no one would think of it that way. "Xie Lingxin, I know you well enough."

Golden-Winged Arm Sea said, "Your father, Xie Dongshan, is the fourth person since the founding of the Federation to have successfully walked the path of ancient Confucianism and become a great Confucian scholar."

“I can tell you the truth: the reason you’re still alive is because of your father.”

"If it weren't for him, you would have died long ago."

"I might as well tell you that as long as your father is alive, no one will kill you."

"Of course, I'm referring to aristocratic families. As for whether you'll provoke some clueless clowns, I don't know."

Judging from their tone, apart from the aristocratic families, everyone else seemed to be a so-called "clown."

This made Xie Lingxin very unhappy.

"But you've offended too many people."

Golden-Winged Arm Sea Route: "Xiao Clan, Jin Clan, Hu Clan, Wang Clan..."

He suddenly laughed, a laugh still filled with a sense of absurdity.

"You, a mere commoner, have managed to offend so many powerful families in such a remote place as Leizhou. I have to admire you."

"If Xie Dongshan were to pass away peacefully one day, even if the Federation were to remember this favor, it would be difficult to protect you."

“The Jin family will absolutely be the first to settle scores with you; you are destined to die.”

He stared silently at Xie Lingxin: "Xie Lingxin, this is the real threat, the real... deadly threat."

Xie Lingxin felt as if she were being stared at by an unimaginable ancient beast, her hair standing on end and a chill running down her spine.

An uncontrollable sense of fear arose, and my body involuntarily wanted to tremble.

Just then, on the square-inch spiritual platform, lightning flashed in the eyes of Lei Zu's consciousness, and on the Niwan Heavenly Palace, the Emperor Xiang's primordial spirit was surrounded by starlight.

That feeling of fear vanished instantly.

Looking again at the Golden-Winged Sea-Splitter, it was still unremarkable.

However, Golden-Winged Sea-Piercing Sword, whose expression had been calm all along, finally showed a slight change at this moment.

It was only a trace.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "It seems that the rumors about you are indeed true, and the rumors outside have underestimated you."

Xie Lingxin's gaze towards him was already somewhat unfriendly.

"If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for not giving you face."

In fact, if he hadn't known he was likely to lose, he would have already made his move.

Having killed Kim Ok-sang, he didn't think there was any room for reconciliation between him and the Kim family.

Moreover, the words spoken by the Golden-Winged Sea-Splitter just now also revealed some information.

It seems that Lao Xie being invited by the Elders' Council is not a good thing.

Transform into the vast and boundless?

what does that mean?
Also, the Xiao family and the Jin family need no introduction, the Hu family... is because of the Iron-Faced Monk, and what the hell is the Wang family?

Golden Wings Split the Sea smiled: "That's even better. I called you here to give you an opportunity."

Xie Lingxin asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Jin Chibo Hai laughed and said, "Join the Jin Clan, become a retainer of the Jin Clan, and serve the Jin Clan."

"?"

Xie Ling thought to herself, "Didn't you say I killed Jin Yuxiang? And you still want me to join the Jin clan?"

Golden-Winged Sea-Piercing said calmly, "So, you don't understand the aristocratic families."

"Being the eldest son of a direct line certainly carries a noble status, but for aristocratic families, the prosperity and continuation of the family line is the only principle to be followed."

"Whoever it is, must make way for this, even if it means giving their life."

“If Jin Yuxiang were alive, he would be the eldest son of the Jin family, but he is dead.”

"Even in death, the eldest son of a noble family is more honorable than many others."

“But…you are different, Xie Lingxin. You should be glad that your value surpasses that of the dead Jin Yuxiang.”

"Born into a powerful family and possessing countless resources, yet he was still killed by a commoner. He was utterly useless and deserved to die."

"Ah……"

The laugh came from Xie Lingxin.

This time, it was his turn to find it absurd.

"Does that mean that if I kill you, it will prove that I am more valuable than you?"

Golden-Winged Sea-Splitter was not angry: "If you can do it, then indeed you will. At that time, the Jin family will treat you with even greater courtesy."

"However, the prerequisite is that you join the Kim family."

Xie Ling thought to herself, "What if my answer is no? Will you kill me?"

Golden Wings Piercing the Sea shook his head: "I said, before Xie Dongshan transforms into Haoran, no one in the aristocratic families will kill you."

"However, I'm afraid your path in the Federation is also blocked. You've offended the aristocratic families. Your only remaining path is through them, otherwise..."

"You can only stop here, forever trapped in this small pond of Leizhou."

Xie Ling thought to herself, "So you're trying to blacklist me? I don't seek fame or fortune. At worst, I'll just give up everything. If you don't kill me, what can you do to me?"

Golden Wings Split the Sea laughed and said, "So you're too young. It doesn't matter. You've already embarked on this path. As long as you want to keep going, you'll eventually find out why."

"If you can't make it, then it means you're not qualified to know. With your current reputation and strength, it wouldn't be bad for you to live a mediocre but comfortable life in Leizhou."

Xie Lingxin asked doubtfully, "Can you really be so magnanimous as to believe that I can live a peaceful life after killing the eldest son of a noble family?"

Golden Wings Split the Sea said, "I have already said that what aristocratic families fight for is never a momentary grievance, but a lasting legacy."

Xie Ling thought to herself, "I understand. Does that mean that as long as I don't leave Leizhou, you won't bother me anymore?"

Golden-Winged Sea-Splitter laughed, "Of course, you can understand it this way: if Leizhou still existed..."

Xie Lingxin was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Jin Chibo Hai didn't say anything more at this moment: "It seems that you have no intention of joining the Jin Clan. In that case, you can leave."

"You can take those women with you too, consider it a gift from me."
