Villain: Starting by Forcibly Marrying the Protagonist’s Master, I Am Invincible – Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Donghua Region’s Families Unite with the Su Family

“Roar!”

As soon as the words fell, a hundred-foot-tall monster resembling an ape manifested behind Lin Tai’an and roared at the crowd.

“Ah! It’s a Venerable Rank Martial Soul ━ the Sky-Reaching Giant Ape!”

A cultivator below recognized the monster’s origin, cried out in fear, and immediately hid behind the crowd.

Following his cry, the other Donghua Region cultivators also reacted, each staring at Lin Tai’an on the flying ship in terror.

“Hehe…”

Seeing the expressions on everyone’s faces, the corners of Lin Tai’an’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of mockery.

“Roar!”

Immediately afterward, the Sky-Reaching Giant Ape opened its b*oody maw and let out a deafening roar, fiercely beating its chest, erupting with a thunderous boom.

The power of its sound waves was extremely terrifying. Wherever they passed, the air violently vibrated, forming layers of visible shockwaves that spread outward.

Under the onslaught of this shockwave, many cultivators with low cultivation levels were directly sent flying.

“Oh, Family Head Lin, are you losing your temper already?”

Seeing this, Qin Xinran couldn’t help but chuckle, shaking her jade-like finger and sarcastically saying, “You’re the head of a great family, how can you be so petty?”

“Su Family Matriarch, today, you must lead the entire Su Family to surrender to my Lin Family, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless and exterminating your Su Family!”

“Hehe! Just you?”

Hearing this, Qin Xinran glanced at Lin Tai’an indifferently, with disdain and mockery on her lips, “Family Head Lin, although your Lin Family is strong, my Su Family is a super family in the Donghua Region, and our strength is in no way inferior to yours. What qualifications do you have to threaten me?”

Her tone was extremely calm, completely disregarding the Lin Family.

“Hahaha, don’t think I don’t know that your Su Family is currently in a weakened state, with all your forces taken away by your son Su Chen.”

Lin Tai’an laughed wildly, continuing, “Therefore, your Su Family is at the end of its rope, so why bother struggling?”

His eyes flickered with a cold killing intent, “If you obediently surrender now, you might still be able to retain some dignity and not make things too ugly.”

“Hehe… Family Head Lin, do you really think my Su Family is as brainless as you say?”

Qin Xinran suddenly sneered, her beautiful eyes flashing with a cold glint, sarcastically saying, “What if I told you that my Su Family has set up a trap, waiting for you to walk right into it? Would you still dare to go?”

Seeing this, Lin Tai’an’s pupils shrank, and he said in disbelief, “How is that possible? You must be bluffing!”

Qin Xinran shook her head, disappointed, “Family Head Lin, you’ve been struggling in Zhongzhou for decades, yet you’re so foolish. No wonder your Lin Family has remained stagnant under your leadership all these years.”

After a pause, she continued, “If you don’t believe me, then come with me to the Su Family and see for yourself. I’d like to see who’s bluffing here.”

With that said, she led Nan Batian and the other Donghua Region cultivators towards the Su Family.

“Hmph, the Su Family? I’d like to see what tricks your Su Family is up to.”

Looking at Qin Xinran’s departing figure, Lin Tai’an sneered, a hint of solemnity flashing in the depths of his eyes.

However, he did not follow Qin Xinran.

“Father, let’s chase after them and just wipe them out! Then all the families in the Donghua Region will belong to our Lin Family.”

Seeing Lin Tai’an’s hesitation, Lin Feng hurriedly urged.

Lin Tai’an shook his head, his expression serious, “Feng’er, haste makes waste. Our Lin Family has almost all come out this time. We must be cautious and steady, and we can’t afford any mistakes, understand?”

He was meticulous and considered everything very thoroughly. Coupled with his suspicious nature, he was worried that the Su Family had indeed set a trap, so he chose a cautious and steady strategy, to first understand the specific situation of the Su Family before taking action.

He had carefully observed the expression on Qin Xinran’s face when she spoke just now and found that there was not a trace of panic on her face, so he became even more cautious.

After all, the Su Family had stood in the Donghua Region for millions of years, with such a long heritage, their reputation was definitely not undeserved, and he had to be on guard.

“I understand.”

Lin Feng nodded reluctantly, “But Father, you must capture Qin Xinran as soon as possible. This woman is simply too much! I will definitely make her taste the power of my big sword.”

“En.”

Hearing this, Lin Tai’an’s eyes flashed, and after pondering for a moment, he nodded.

————————

Nan Batian and the Donghua Region cultivators followed Qin Xinran to the Su Family.

When they saw the small number of people inside the Su Family, everyone’s faces were filled with astonishment.

“Su Family Matriarch, there are only a few hundred people left in the vast Su Family. What’s going on?”

Nan Batian was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked.

He had thought that the Su Family had made full preparations and were specifically here to fight the Lin Family, but now it seemed that it was completely different from what he had expected.

“Sigh…”

Hearing this, Qin Xinran sighed lightly and explained, “My son Chen’er took most of the Su Family outside, but they are now on their way back. I believe they will be back soon. As long as we hold on until he returns, it will be the day the Lin Family is destroyed.”

Her face was resolute, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Nan Batian and the others nodded secretly, feeling the confidence emanating from Qin Xinran.

“Su Family Matriarch, you saved my life, Nan Batian. Moreover, the Lin Family and I are sworn enemies. I am willing to lead all the regional troops to come and assist the Su Family.”

Nan Batian solemnly cupped his hands and said.

The Su Family was in extreme danger at this point, and he wanted to offer help in their time of need to repay Qin Xinran for saving his life.

Hearing this, Qin Xinran’s face lit up with joy, and she bowed, “On behalf of the Su Family, I thank you, Governor, for your assistance!”

Nan Batian turned to the crowd and said, “Everyone, the Zhongzhou Lin Family has always acted arrogantly and domineeringly. This time, they have brought a hundred thousand troops to invade our Donghua Region. After they destroy the Su Family, will they spare you?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Donghua Region cultivators present all changed their expressions, revealing looks of terror.

“The Governor is right. The Lin Family will definitely take advantage of the situation and seize the opportunity to take our families under their control!” a cultivator echoed.

“If we don’t unite and resist together, I’m afraid the odds are stacked against us.”

“That’s right, only by uniting can we have a chance of winning and wait for Young Master Su to return with his army!”

At this moment, many people finally came to their senses.

Indeed, if they were Lin Tai’an, after easily destroying the Su Family, they would definitely take the families within the Donghua Region’s capital under their control.

After all, who would think they have too much power in their hands?

The people present were all the heads or high-ranking members of their respective families, all shrewd individuals. They would understand this logic with a little thought.

“I’ve long disliked that Lin Tai’an and his son. My Jiang Family is willing to contribute our meager strength to the Su Family and our Donghua Region.”

Jiang Huai stepped forward, the first to stand up and express his support for the Su Family.
