But knowing the outcome yet choosing to do it meant that the trading partner was indeed an existence the Nangong family could not resist.
The Nangong family, this was one of the top powers in Dragon Country, arguably the largest power in the south. If they dared not resist, then only the Imperial Capital had such capability.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Lin Xiao had trusted Nangong Wushuang more.
The voice had been released.
It was obvious the other party’s voice had been processed by a voice changer.
The content, however, was relatively simple.
Immense cultivation resources, spirit stones, and such things in exchange for the Nangong family’s intervention. And, of course, threats.
“You know the capabilities of my Zheng family. You have no possibility of refusal.”
This was one of the sentences.
And it was this sentence that made Lin Xiao, the Dragon Lord, and Elder Zhou all fix their gaze on Zheng Jianguo.
“Elder Zheng, if this person is not from the Zheng family, then I don’t know which family it is. In the Imperial Capital, only a few families have this ability,” Lin Xiao said, looking at Zheng Jianguo. He was extremely calm, so calm that he himself found it absurd. He spoke slowly, keeping his mind in a state of thought, making different hypotheses.
Zheng Jianguo’s expression was also very grim. He said in a deep voice, “Lin Xiao, don’t be anxious. I will give you an answer regarding this matter. I will have someone investigate immediately. If someone in my Zheng family has indeed committed such a beastly act, I will make him pay with his life!”
As he spoke, seemingly due to excessive emotion, he coughed violently twice.
Lin Xiao ended the projection and then said, “I have arranged for people to protect the members of the Nangong family. I can guarantee that no danger will befall the Nangong family… Elder Zheng, this matter requires you to give an explanation. I hope you understand me.”
“This concerns the lives of dozens of people in my Lin family, so I hope you can give me an answer within three days.”
“Whether your Zheng family did this or not. If so, find the person and make them pay with their life. If not, find out who it is, and I will exterminate their entire family.”
Towards the end, his voice was colder than ever, and killing intent involuntarily enveloped the entire room.
The Dragon Lord waved his hand, and a surge of spiritual energy protected Elder Zhou.
Zheng Jianguo also frowned, and a stern aura protected him.
He was from the military, and naturally possessed countless killing intents. Although his cultivation was not very high, his aura of killing was enough to make ordinary martial arts grandmasters in the Knowing the Profound realm tremble in fear.
Zheng Jianguo clearly discovered that Lin Xiao had a certain similarity to himself.
However, Lin Xiao’s killing intent was even more frenzied.
“Good.”
As he responded, Little Zheng also returned, his expression akin to having constipation.
However, when he entered the room, he clearly felt an aura that made his skin tingle, and the source of this aura was Lin Xiao.
What happened to the Dragon King?
Noticing Little Zheng’s approach, Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and retracted his domain.
“Little Zheng, is your stomach feeling better?” Elder Zhou called out.
“Much better…”
As Little Zheng approached, his gaze unconsciously fell on Zheng Jianguo: “Grandpa…”
“You’re here too,”
Zheng Jianguo snorted lightly, not very fond of his grandson.
