"After what you've done, I reckon that the Lin and Chen families are going to stand against the Song family!" Bu Lianshi said thoughtfully as he sensed the situation above the pond.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If he doesn't have an enemy, then I'll just create one for him!" Hayashikawa said casually.
The heavens had placed such a good opportunity in front of him. It would be a pity if he didn't take advantage of it.
His current identity was Hayashikawa, the son of the Lin family, not the Blue Dragon of the Akatsuki. Therefore, even if he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, no one would be able to tell. No one would even think of the Akatsuki. This was the reason why he kept his identity as Hayashikawa.
Hayashikawa had been observing the situation above the pond. As expected, the three parties had already started fighting. The Lin and Chen families were naturally on the same side. Although the two families were unwilling to fall out with one of the eight major families for no reason, they couldn't just let the Song family kill their successor. Therefore, no matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice but to fight.
"The fight above is really intense. If it continues like this, they won't be able to maintain the peace on the surface!" Bu Lianshi said softly.
Once a battle had developed to a certain extent, the reason for the start of the battle was no longer important. All that was left was the bloodshed and slaughter.
Lin Xuan and Chen Yi didn't want to be used as cannon fodder. However, the aura that Hayashikawa exuded from time to time let them know that their lives were still in his hands.
An hour later, the Chen and Lin families worked together to wipe out all the Song family members. More than half of them were killed and the rest escaped.
"All of you can leave now. I have something to discuss with Brother Chen!" Lin Xuan said to the people around him.
Chen Yi also gave the order to retreat. After everyone left, the two of them couldn't help but focus their attention on the center of the pond.
"Well done!" Hayashikawa and Bu Lianshi rose from the pond.
"Martial Granduncle, you must be joking. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have had the chance to kill that bitch!" Lin Xuan said respectfully.
"That's right, it's all thanks to you, my Lord!" Chen Yi echoed.
Facing Hayashikawa, the two of them felt like they were looking up at a lofty mountain. When Hayashikawa had returned to the pool, the two of them had thought of running away. However, every time that thought appeared in their minds, a fear that came from the bottom of their hearts made them tremble. They had no choice but to give up on that thought.
"I know what you're thinking, but that's not important. Now, I'll give you a chance to follow me and become my subordinates!" Hayashikawa said calmly as he looked at the two of them.
Both Lin Xuan and Chen Yi were shocked. This was not what they had expected.
Even if they were afraid of Hayashikawa's threat and were willing to do some things for him, that didn't mean that they were willing to submit to Hayashikawa forever. One had to know that they were both the heirs of their respective families. Although the chances of them inheriting the position of the head of their respective families weren't high, they were still above everyone else. It was impossible for them to give up their dignity and follow Hayashikawa.
"Follow me, and the position of the head of the Lin and Chen families will be yours in the future!" Hayashikawa said.
Lin Xuan's gaze trembled as he looked at Hayashikawa in disbelief. He had always thought that Hayashikawa's goal was to become the head of the Lin family. After all, Hayashikawa wasn't a direct descendant of the Lin family. No one would believe that he didn't have any ambition. However, it seemed that Hayashikawa's goal wasn't the Lin family. Or rather, his vision wasn't limited to the Fire Nation.
"I know that an illusory promise is of no use to you, but you have seen my strength. With my help, you will have a chance instead of no chance!" Hayashikawa continued, "Of course, you can choose to refuse. In that case, I'll have to find someone else. However, the two of you are worthless, so there's no need for you to exist!"
Hayashikawa's words were a blatant threat, but he had the right to do so.
Lin Xuan frowned. Compared to Chen Yi, he was more hesitant. After all, Hayashikawa was the Bai Lingzi of the Lin family. His influence couldn't be ignored. If he could get Hayashikawa's help, then …
At this moment, the storage ring on Bu Lianshi's right hand flashed and two jade bottles appeared in her hands.
"There's a Golden Energy Pill in here. It'll be of great help when you break through to the Nascent Soul stage. If you agree to follow Hayashikawa, this pill will be yours!" Bu Lianshi said.
She had already seen through Hayashikawa's plan. He wanted to build his own force to resist the outside world, especially the pressure from the Song family. Since that was the case, it was worth it to pay a certain price.
Looking at the jade bottles in Bu Lianshi's hands, Lin Xuan and Chen Yi's breathing became heavier. This was a pill that could help them break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Even in the family, it was extremely precious. The two of them would never have a chance to get it. But now, it was so close to them.
"What do I have to do?" Lin Xuan was the first to ask.
"Swear on your Daoist Heart that you will follow me and never betray me. This pill and the position of the head of the Lin family will be yours!" Hayashikawa said.
"If you swear on your Daoist Heart that you will help me become the head of the family, I'll be willing to become your follower!" Chen Yi said through gritted teeth.
Boom! However, in the next moment, the green light on Hayashikawa's body suddenly shone brightly. Before Chen Yi could react, Hayashikawa had appeared beside him and placed his right hand gently on Chen Yi's neck.
"You don't seem to understand the situation! Since when did you have the right to negotiate with me? "
Hayashikawa's pure white eyes flashed with a cold light, as if he was ready to kill Chen Yi at any time.
"I … Sir … I was wrong … I'm willing to become your follower!"
At this moment, Chen Yi finally realized what he had just said. His face was pale with fright! At the same time, he was shocked by Hayashikawa's speed and methods.
Lin Xuan's heart trembled violently the moment Hayashikawa made his move. He could no longer summon up any thoughts of resistance.
"I'm willing to become your follower!" Lin Xuan knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
Hayashikawa's lips curled into a smile as he let go of Chen Yi.
With the two of them swearing, this matter was considered to have come to an end. However, Hayashikawa's plan had just begun.
"There's only one thing you need to do next, and that is to make the hatred between the Song family and your two families reach an irreconcilable level. I want you to think of a way to make the Lin and Chen families go to war with the Song family!" Hayashikawa said softly.
