The news of Linlong and Su Qingqing being kidnapped and attempted to kill by Luo Han quickly spread throughout the entire Chu Xi Town. The citizens of Chu Xi Town were in an uproar.
They didn't expect the Luo family to even do such a thing. In an instant, everyone started to condemn the Luo family. Some furious people even attacked the Luo family's shops in the market.
It was difficult to offend the anger of the masses, so much so that the Luo family had no choice but to temporarily remove their shops from the market. Such a removal was a huge blow to the Luo family because the income of the market was the majority of the big families.
But the people didn't care about that. They only wanted the Luo family to tell the truth.
Because of that, the patriarch of the Luo family, Luo Xiong, had no choice but to come out and apologize. Of course, he pushed all the blame onto Luo Han, saying that Luo Han secretly did such a thing that angered both men and gods in order to seek personal benefits.
Since Luo Han and the others were already dead, in a situation where there were no witnesses, naturally, the people couldn't do anything to Luo Xiong. Of course, the most important thing was that the Luo family's strength was still very strong. They could not be easily defeated.
Otherwise, if it were a small family, their doorstep would have already been trampled to pieces.
Other than anger, the people were also shocked. They were shocked at Linlong's strength. Even a powerful Martial Lord could not kill him.
After that, in the hearts of the people, Linlong was already the strongest person in the young generation. Even though he hadn't fought against the strongest young man before, there was no need to prove such a thing.
On one side were the furious citizens, and on the other side were Lin Qingshan and Su Tianhua's lead. Under their lead, the patriarchs of the big families in Chu Xi Town had a special meeting.
Although it was said that dead people could not testify, the big families still passed an agreement. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, the Luo family had to make compensation. Otherwise, the big families would work together to drive the Luo family out of the Chu Xi Town.
The Chu Xi Town was the foundation of the Luo family. After leaving, how could the Luo family easily establish themselves in other places?
So, in a situation like that, even though they knew they were at a great disadvantage, the Luo family could only suffer in silence and accept such an agreement.
After all the patriarchs of the major families signed their handprints, the Luo family ceded a large piece of land and mines according to the agreement. Since the Lin and Su families were the biggest victims of this incident, two-thirds of the land and mines were divided under the Lin and Su families' names.
It could be said that in the future, the Lin family, whose financial resources were not considered weak, would quickly catch up to and surpass the Luo family. Then, they would become the number one family in Chuxi Town.
On the day that the Luo Family accepted the agreement, Linlong appeared at the gathering with Lin Qingshan.
During the meeting, Luo Xiong didn't say anything more than pushing all the blame on Arhat. However, in the end, when he pressed his fingerprint to accept the agreement, he said such a sentence.
"Linlong, can I shake your hand and apologize?" Luo Xiong smiled.
Even though he did not display the slightest bit of aggression, Lin Qingshan immediately rejected the idea. "No!"
Hatred could be said to have been formed between the two families. How could Lin Qingshan allow Luo Xiong to easily get close to Linlong? If he killed Linlong with a single slap, it would cut off the Lin family's hope of rising. Who would he look for to reason with?
If he didn't kill him with a single slap, he could still secretly place restrictions. The power of the Luo family's restrictions was legendary in Chuxi Town.
The others also felt that Lin Qingshan's refusal was something to be expected.
Just as everyone thought Luo Xiong's handshake "apology" would end just like that, Linlong suddenly said. "Of course."
"Long 'er, you can't!" Lin Qingshan's expression immediately changed.
Linlong is too arrogant isn't he? Doesn't he know he's a Martial Lord? At that moment, such a thought couldn't help emerging in the hearts of the various patriarchs.
"Grandfather, don't worry. The Luo family isn't strong enough to attack a junior like me in front of so many people." Linlong lightly smiled, then stood up.
"Good, good. As expected of a descendant of the Lin family!" Linlong's strong confidence made Lin Qingshan involuntarily praise him.
"As expected of the person who defeated Luohan. Even I am inferior to such spirit and courage," said Luo Xiong with a nod. As he spoke, he strode towards Linlong.
The two of them quickly shook hands. At that moment, Linlong still had a face of indifference, but Luo Xiong suddenly became extremely serious. His eyes were also tightly staring at Linlong, causing Lin Qingshan, who was on the side, to be unable to help tensing up.
"Indeed, heroes come from the young. Today, my Luo family has ceded so many lands and mines. I, Luo Xiong, am sincerely convinced." After speaking, an indescribable smile appeared on Luo Xiong's face. Then, he let go of Linlong's hand, turned around, and walked out of the room with big strides.
Luo Xiong's entire body was very imposing. It was a type of imposing manner that made people involuntarily worship him. It could be said that with a person like him, it was not surprising that the Luo family could become the number one family in Chuxi Town.
Even in the instant the Luo family was suppressed, none of the other patriarchs dared to say any disrespectful words in front of him.
However, to Linlong, an imposing manner like that could not create any trace of threat.
It was because he was Linlong, the former Undying Emperor Wu Linlong. In his previous life, who knew how many experts were dozens of times stronger than Luo Xiong. However, in front of Linlong, they were still as insignificant as ants, let alone the current Luo Xiong.
So, even though Luo Xiong's threatening words were still echoing in Linlong's ears, at that instant, Linlong's face was still as calm as the clouds and wind.
"Little guy, I'll tell you this. In this Martial Competition, you will absolutely not be number one. I swear on the honor of a Martial Lord!"
That was what Luo Xiong said to Linlong through a mental message when he shook hands with him.
"I'm sorry, but I'm definitely going to get number one." Linlong also replied with a mental message.
After that, Luo Xiong didn't speak anymore. He turned his head around.
After that, Luo Xiong exploded. After walking outside, he slammed his palm onto a huge rock. The originally incomparably hard rock was actually smashed into powder by him.
The powder flew in all directions in an instant, and with crackling sounds, it struck the window of the room they were in.
Luo Xiong's powerful aura caused the various patriarchs to stand up from their seats, then look outside with faces of astonishment.
"I'm afraid this Luo Xiong has the strength of a mid-stage Martial Lord, right?" someone said with incomparable astonishment.
"Not long ago, he was only a rank two Martial Lord, yet now, he's in the mid-stage. This is too terrifying," someone muttered.
