Chapter 76: Surrender of the Lei Family, Hidden Dangers of the Blood Cloth Sect
At this moment, beneath Lin Yan's shoe, the head of Lei Bao, the head of the Lei family, had been crushed by him in one fell swoop.
Although such a method seemed somewhat brutal, to Lin Yan, Lei Bao's repeated attacks on their Lin family had long fueled his anger.
Therefore, to Lin Yan, letting him die so easily was already a great mercy. As for the idea of leaving a complete corpse, that was not even worth considering.
"Lei Bao is dead! All members of the Lei family, surrender quickly!"
"Surrenderers will not be killed, but those who resist will be shown no mercy!"
Facing many bewildered members of the Lei family, Lin Yan suddenly shouted loudly, his resounding voice echoing across the battlefield!
As for those members of the Lei family, upon hearing Lin Yan's voice, they gradually snapped out of their dazed state.
"How is this possible?"
Without exception, they all showed a look of shock on their faces, looking at Lin Yan, who stood victorious in the center of the battlefield, with an expression of disbelief as if they had seen a ghost.
But after staring at the dead body on the ground for a while, one by one, the members of the Lei family finally accepted the reality and lost all will to fight.
At this point, they also understood that the Lei family was finished!
Although they still couldn't understand why a young man like Lin Yan, who had barely cultivated for less than two years, could kill their Lei family's patriarch Lei Bao, such absurd things had indeed happened.
Therefore, at this moment, they could only reluctantly accept this despairing outcome.
"We surrender."
"We surrender!"
The sound of surrender quickly resounded.
Subsequently, along with the successive surrendering voices, the remaining members of the Lei family, as if infected, couldn't help but lay down their weapons and surrender.
"We won!"
"We've won!"
"We've eradicated the Lei family!"
The members of the Lin family cheered excitedly.
Afterwards, as they continued to look at Lin Yan, they regarded him with reverence as if he were a hero.
They knew very well that today's victory for the Lin family was all thanks to Lin Yan.
After all, they had captured the leader first!
The main reason these members of the Lei family willingly surrendered was because Lin Yan had killed Lei Bao.
Otherwise, as long as Lei Bao was alive, these members of the Lei family would have fought to the death no matter what.
In that case, it would have been a heavy loss for the Lin family as well.
"Uncle Xiao, I'll leave the rest of the work to you."
"I'll go check on Lin Dong."
Lin Yan quickly arrived by Lin Xiao's side, then spoke to him. Lin Dong had fought with Gu Ying and had already moved far away from Ironwood Village. Lin Yan was concerned, so he decided to check on him.
"Alright, go ahead with peace of mind!"
Lin Xiao was extremely excited at the moment. After hearing Lin Yan's words, he replied enthusiastically.
As for Lin Yan, after exchanging greetings, he quickly rushed to Lin Dong's location.
Originally, he had intended to spare Gu Ying if he could catch up. After all, Gu Ying was a member of the Blood Cloth Sect, and the Blood Cloth Sect was connected to the Blood Wolf Gang's power. There were too many complications involved, and conflicts would inevitably lead to more troubles later.
But when Lin Yan arrived at the scene, Lin Dong had already killed Gu Ying.
Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
"It seems that there's no escaping after all."
However, he didn't blame Lin Dong but went up to him and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lin Dong nodded to Lin Yan, but when he continued to look at Lin Yan, he seemed somewhat guilty. Lin Dong smiled bitterly, "I'm fine. But Brother Lin Yan, this Gu Ying seems to have a significant background."
"He's from the Blood Cloth Sect. Actually, I didn't want to kill him just now, but he wanted to kill me."
Lin Yan patted Lin Dong's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry about it. In that situation, you had to act in self-defense."
"As for the Blood Cloth Sect and such, leave it to me."
"Let's go back."
Lin Yan said to Lin Dong.
As for Lin Dong, upon hearing Lin Yan's words, he became quite moved.
Although Lin Yan wasn't his real brother, at this moment, Lin Dong truly felt like he was being taken care of by his elder brother.
For a moment, he even had the thought of willing to go through fire and water for him.
"Alright!"
He said to Lin Yan with determination.
"If there's anything, we'll face it together!"
Then, he followed Lin Yan back to the outskirts of Ironwood Village.
At this moment, under the management of Lin Xiao and others, the captured members of the Lei family had already been taken care of.
The Lin family certainly wouldn't kill them all, after all, Lei Bao was dead, and these members of the Lei family were no longer a threat.
Moreover, if they were truly to kill them all, it would make the Lin family appear too ruthless.
So it was better to take them in as they did with the old members of the Xie family, which was also a good thing for the Lin family.
Seeing Lin Yan coming, Lin Xiao and Lin Ken quickly approached him, earnestly reporting their work to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan felt quite helpless about this. He smiled at Lin Xiao and others, "Uncle Xiao, you don't need to inform me about these things."
"I'm just a junior."
"And, honestly, I don't have much experience in handling such matters. So you guys handle it."
Although Lin Yan had previously appeared arrogant, it was because he was someone who knew how to seize the opportunity. At that critical moment, the Lin family needed someone to step forward and lead, so Lin Yan had no choice but to do so. But now that things had ended, Lin Yan didn't want to attract too much attention. In fact, he didn't want to take all the credit either.
"Sigh, Yan'er, you…"
"You're still so modest."
"Alright, forget it. Since you don't like dealing with these trivial matters, your Uncle Ken and I will take care of it."
"But you can't shirk away from the credit for today's achievement no matter what. All the young members of our Lin family are looking up to you! In times of crisis, it was you who led everyone to victory. When Father knows about this, he'll be very happy!"
Lin Xiao said somewhat helplessly to Lin Yan. He also understood Lin Yan's personality very well. Although he felt very appreciative of him, to be honest, sometimes Lin Yan was indeed too selfless and low-key.
Behind him, Lin Ken and Lin Ken nodded quickly, expressing their strong agreement with Lin Xiao's words.
Lin Yan just let them be.
He left the matter to Lin Xiao and others to handle and quickly left the scene himself.
Of course, the fact that the Lei family had attacked the Lin family and ultimately failed, and that Lei Bao had died at Lin Yan's hands, such major events could not be concealed.
The truth will always come out.
Early the next morning, this matter spread directly throughout Qingyang Town.
Suddenly, the entire Qingyang Town was in an uproar!
