Chapter 298: Chapter 147: Lin Xuankong’s Undying Battle Group! This is Just the Beginning! _2
Han Lu sneered, "That fellow Li Er, he thinks Steward Lin can bring him back to life anytime, so he’s not afraid to die ten thousand times."
Hearing this, Yang Mountain’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Lin Xuankong with excitement. Ever since he had been working under Lin Xuankong, he had always looked up to him, admiring the white-haired elder’s heroic spirit. Now, seeing Lin Xuankong possess such a power to reverse life and death, he was naturally thrilled! Even a casual thought made him realize—Lin Xuankong’s future formidable subordinates would all be fearless of death, each one capable of resurrection. How strong would the cohesion among Lin Xuankong’s followers be? How fierce would his team’s fighting power be? Never mind that no one in the Great Marsh Prefecture could make their subordinates fearless of death; even in the Great Xia Dynasty, the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, or the Holy Dragon Association, none could make every member unafraid of death! Yet Lin Xuankong could raise an Undying Battle Group where no one feared death and no one would truly die—how terrifying was that?!
At this moment, Lin Xuankong looked at Li Xiaohu and Li Er.
"Saving you two isn’t for you to keep dying and coming back!
"Making you both the Feng Family Patriarch and Second-in-Command Feng serves two purposes. First, to save your lives, and second, to have you do some things for me in the future!
"From now on, you two need to use the thousands of people from the Feng Family to secretly collect Demon Flesh for me from various places!
"The body of a Tier Five Powerhouse, and that of a Patriarch from a top-tier family—such bodies are rare. You must cherish them and not die so easily!"
Li Xiaohu and Li Er exchanged glances and then looked at Lin Xuankong, nodding vigorously. "Little Hu has noted this!" "Li Er will definitely handle this matter well!"
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, then looked at Feng Ercai and Feng Sancai.
"You two, tell them about some habits, hobbies, and the ways of speaking and doing things of the Feng Family Patriarch and Second-in-Command Feng."
Upon hearing this, both Feng Ercai and Feng Sancai showed a hint of ruthlessness in their eyes. Both were born and raised in the Feng Family and naturally had deep feelings for it. They certainly feared death. But to watch others usurp their positions and, worse, to become accomplices in it—they would rather die than agree!
Seeing the hatred in their determined eyes, Lin Xuankong shook his head slightly and continued,
"You two must have family members—Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters—and you must be quite loyal to the Feng Family.
"So you should want your entire Feng Family and your families to live peacefully, right?
"Moreover, you’ve already witnessed this scene. Since I can allow others to reincarnate into your Patriarch’s body, I can naturally reincarnate Feng Family members into pigs, dogs, flies, and maggots!"
At these words, Feng Ercai and Feng Sancai’s faces changed dramatically.
Reincarnate into pigs, dogs, flies, and maggots?
They looked at Lin Xuankong with eyes filled with extreme terror, as if they were looking at a horrifying demon! They couldn’t help but swallow hard, cold sweat drenching their bodies. The Conical Hat Guest before them, who could instantly kill the Feng Family Patriarch and Second-in-Command Feng, could undoubtedly destroy the Feng Family without much difficulty. He wasn’t exaggerating! As for his remark about reincarnating Feng Family members and their relatives into mosquitoes, insects, flies, and maggots... How could they not be terrified!
Seeing the determination in their eyes gradually disappear, replaced by a complete lack of resistance, Lin Xuankong raised his hand slightly. The tongue of the Ghost Frog King immediately released them.
Feng Ercai’s body went limp, collapsing to the ground. Feng Sancai trembled and looked at Lin Xuankong, almost breaking down as he stammered, "I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything! Just please spare the elderly, women, and children of the Feng Family!"
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly. "As long as you tell me everything you know, without reservation, I can naturally spare the members of the Feng Family!"
「After more than half an hour,」
Li Xiaohu, Li Er, Han Lu, and Yang Mountain followed Lin Xuankong toward the south of the city, in the direction of the Guo Family’s mansion. According to Feng Ercai and Feng Sancai, three experts from the Guo Family were also involved in the plot against the Yin Talisman Sect. Lin Xuankong certainly wouldn’t let go of the murderers who had slaughtered his friends.
「Moments later,」
In the small pavilion in the backyard of the Guo Family’s mansion, the Guo Family Patriarch Guo Yunjiang had become Yang Mountain, and the Guo Family Second-in-Command Guo Yunhe had become Han Lu.
Both knelt on one knee. "Steward, we can never repay your great kindness in saving our lives! From now on, Yang Mountain is willing to go through fire and water for you, Steward!"
"Lord Lin, you and Master Ma Jiang will henceforth be the two people Han Lu respects most! Especially you, Lord Lin! No matter when or what, just say the word, and Han Lu will do it without hesitation! If I dare to disobey, may you reincarnate me as a dung beetle!"
Lin Xuankong walked over and helped them up.
"You two are no different. I don’t need you to go through fire and water; just live well.
"Besides, the thousands of Martial Cultivators and over ten territories in the Outer City under the Guo Family also need your control!
"The Guo Family and the Feng Family previously colluded, wreaking havoc across the hundred cities of the Great Marsh Prefecture and committing countless evil deeds. From now on, I don’t expect you to turn the Guo Family into a charity hall. However, at the very least, like the Yin Talisman Sect, you must ensure the common people in your territories don’t live in constant fear!"
Yang Mountain immediately clasped his hands. "Rest assured, Steward! I myself come from poverty and grew up among the poor. Even now, as the Guo Family Patriarch, I will never forget my past experiences. Besides, even if I had ten thousand guts, I wouldn’t dare to disobey your orders!"
Han Lu’s face, however, showed a hint of excitement. "Lord Lin, I never expected you to be the Conical Hat Guest... The Black Tiger Gang tried to capture you many times. Now that Brother Yang controls the Guo Family and Little Hu controls the Feng Family, shouldn’t we wait a few days and then take down the Black Tiger Gang Great Marsh Hall and Law Enforcement Hall together?"
Take down the Black Tiger Gang Great Marsh Hall and Law Enforcement Hall? But those are my territories too! Lin Xuankong thought.
Li Er shook his head beside them. "With Lord Lin’s divine abilities, why bother killing them? We could replace the Divine Souls of Liy Ruoqing from the Great Marsh Hall and Liy Ruo Ying from the Law Enforcement Hall with our own people. Then, we could make the Black Tiger Gang work for our benefactor. Wouldn’t that be better?"
Lin Xuankong shook his head. "I have other plans for the Black Tiger Gang; they are no longer a concern!
"The most important thing now is for you to consolidate your control over the Guo and Feng Families. Once everything is stable, secretly send people to various places to collect Demon Flesh. Remember, ensure no one discovers any discrepancies!"
The four of them clasped their hands in acknowledgment.
Yang Mountain said, "Controlling the Guo and Feng Families will not be a problem! Who could have imagined that these four bodies now house different Divine Souls!
"Moreover, the bodies we now inhabit are those of the strongest cultivators in the Guo and Feng Families, and each carries their respective family’s Demon Pearl. Others cannot match our Cultivation Realms, nor do they possess Demon Pearls... Even if they suspect something, we can just eliminate them secretly!"
Li Er remarked with emotion,
"If one hadn’t experienced it personally, who could have imagined Lord Lin possesses such god-like abilities!
"The top-tier Guo and Feng Families in the Great Marsh Prefecture, with nearly fifteen thousand elite Martial Cultivators, are now under Lord Lin’s command!
"Even the number of Martial Cultivators in the Great Marsh Prefecture’s Holy Dragon Association cannot compare to the combined forces of these two families!
"After tonight, Lord Lin, you are the true ruler of the Guo and Feng Families!"
Sitting in the pavilion, Lin Xuankong looked at the four individuals before him, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
With the Great Reincarnation Technique in hand, I can instantly transform any weakling into a powerhouse, a level they could likely never achieve in their entire lifetime. And because it’s a complete Divine Soul transfer, it won’t hinder their future cultivation progress in the slightest! This miraculous method is far superior to the so-called Immortal’s Possession technique. Possession usually has limitations on the number of times it can be performed and requires various complex methods. In contrast, I only need a single Heart Thought! Currently, restricted by my cultivation, I can only transfer the Divine Souls of Little Hu and the others into the bodies of cultivators at the Sixth Layer or below. Furthermore, this is only possible for those who have been dead for no more than one hundred and thirty-one breaths. If I manage to upgrade my cultivation to the Seventh, Eighth, or Ninth Layer, and further refine the Great Reincarnation Technique... wouldn’t I then be able to let them occupy the bodies of Tier Nine Powerhouses with a mere wave of my hand! Additionally, if Little Hu and the others are interested, I could even turn them into Ninth Layer Great Demons! With such a Great Reincarnation Technique in hand, controlling the Guo and Feng Families is nothing. This is just the beginning!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong became even more eager to quickly collect large amounts of Demon Flesh and enhance the Great Reincarnation Technique.
As his thoughts turned, he suddenly remembered the battle scheduled for September 8th, set to begin in just two days, and his brow furrowed slightly.
