When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

"Father! Father!!"

Ye Qian shouted excitedly, as if grasping at a last straw, "Father! My dear father!"

He wept with joy; the feeling of surviving a disaster brought him to tears on the spot.

Lin Xuan gave him a thumbs-up and mocked, "You'd even call someone 'father' just to save your own life. I despise you."

"Are you stupid? My father, the Emperor's brother-in-law, is here! Lin Xuan, you're dead!" Ye Qian said smugly. "You cut off my arm, I'll cut off the arms of your whole family!"

"Noisy."

Lin Xuan glanced at Ye Qian and immediately cut off his tongue with a knife.

"Awooo!!"

Ye Qian screamed incessantly, but could no longer utter a word.

"My son!"

Ye Zhaozhang hurriedly dismounted, disregarding his dignity, and ran quickly towards Ye Qian.

The black-armored soldiers stood in front of him, blocking his way.

Ye Zhaozhang angrily rebuked, "You dog slave, are you looking for death! Look carefully who I am! Look carefully at what I'm wearing on my head and what I'm wearing on my body!"

The black-armored soldiers remained motionless, as if they couldn't hear anything at all.

The Black Armor Army is the last trump card of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, and also the Prince of Zhenbei's private army. They only recognize the Prince's orders and not the officials' orders.

"You dog slave, get out of my way!" Ye Zhaozhang shouted angrily.

At this moment, Lin Xuan stepped out, and the black-armored soldiers immediately made way for him.

Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, facing the enraged Ye Zhaozhang, and said, "Uncle-in-law, it's been a long time."

"Lin Xuan! His Majesty has just bestowed upon you the title of Prince of Zhenbei, and you've already become so arrogant that you're going against the entire court?" Ye Zhaozhang angrily rebuked.

Lin Xuan said, "Before saying that, why didn't you ask what your son had done?"

"What did he do? He only killed a few lowly people! A bunch of lowly people, do they even deserve to be compared with the imperial family?" Ye Zhaozhang scolded, not feeling that Ye Qian had done anything wrong.

Lin Xuan smiled after hearing Ye Zhaozhang's words.

No wonder Ye Qian treated human life so lightly; it turns out his father wasn't a good person either.

Daqing is now completely rotten; if the time hadn't come yet, it would have been overthrown long ago.

"The people are the foundation of the nation; water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it," Lin Xuan said.

Ye Zhaozhang retorted, "Nonsense! The foundation of the nation lies with His Majesty and with all the loyal ministers. Who do you think you are, to presume to discuss state affairs!"

Lin Xuan stared coldly at Ye Zhaozhang and said, "So, the Imperial Brother-in-law has always known about Ye Qian's actions, is that right?"

"So what?" Ye Zhaozhang said.

Lin Xuan then asked, "You're not ashamed, but rather proud?"

"We are royalty, and they are commoners. The strong should humiliate the weak. Even if we kill them, they should be glad to die at the hands of royalty!" Ye Zhaozhang said.

Lin Xuan laughed heartily and said to Ye Zhaozhang, "What you said, Your Excellency, is truly amusing. Since you say that the strong should ruthlessly humiliate the weak, then I, Lin, would like to know who is stronger between us."

"What do you intend to do?" Ye Zhaozhang looked at Lin Xuan warily. "Could it be that you intend to harm me? Do you know that my sister is the current Empress?"

Lin Xuan gently stroked the dragon-headed saber and said, "Why is the Imperial Uncle so nervous? I just want to know who is stronger between the two of us."

Seeing Lin Xuan's persistent pursuit, Ye Zhaozhang suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Lin Xuan, it seems you're determined to make trouble for me, isn't that right?"

Lin Xuan, however, said with a half-smile, "Is the Imperial Brother-in-law nervous again? I simply want to know who is stronger between us!"

"Don't give me that crap. Since you want to try your luck with me, I'll grant your wish!"

Ye Zhaozhang flicked his sleeves, revealing a set of exquisite armor beneath his dragon robe.

Lin Xuan knew that Ye Zhaozhang was not a martial artist, but his armor was no ordinary object; it was an "Emperor's Weapon" with great power.

The so-called imperial weapon is a weapon enchanted by imperial crystal, which contains powerful energy, capable of summoning wind and rain or changing the world.

For example, Lin Xuan's Demon Spear Annihilation can also be considered a type of Imperial Weapon, but because the Demon Spear is more evil, it is not included in the category of Imperial Weapons.

"Imperial weapon - Asura Armor?" Lin Xuan frowned, and the scene of his family's destruction and death in his previous life suddenly flashed through his mind.

Lin Xuan couldn't see the faces of the group clearly, but he clearly remembered that the leader of the group was wearing the Asura Armor.

Lin Xuan suddenly clenched his fist, gritting his teeth as he looked at Ye Zhaozhang in front of him.

It turns out that the mastermind behind the killing of his entire family in his past life, and the final murder of Xun Fu's family, was none other than the emperor's brother-in-law, Ye Zhaozhang!

"You have good taste; you even recognize an imperial weapon." Ye Zhaozhang sneered.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "Originally, I only wanted to discuss with the Imperial Brother-in-law who was stronger, but now..."

"Now that you've seen my Imperial Weapon, you've changed your mind, haven't you?" Ye Zhaozhang said smugly, his words filled with extreme confidence and arrogance regarding his possession of the Imperial Weapon.

"Not bad." Lin Xuan nodded.

"In that case, get out of here," Ye Zhaozhang said.

Ye Qian cried out, "Father! Don't let him go! He cut off my arm; I'll make his whole family pay with their lives!"

Ye Zhaozhang sneered, looked at Lin Xuan whose face was ashen, and said, "Lin Xuan, you cut off my son's arm, you should at least give me an explanation."

"How about this, I won't take your whole family's lives, I just want one of your arms. Is that fair?"

The attendant chimed in, "Our imperial brother-in-law has shown great mercy by sparing your entire family's lives. Aren't you going to kneel down and kowtow in gratitude?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Lin Xuan slowly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and his expression furious.

"It seems the Imperial Brother-in-law has misunderstood something. I have indeed changed my mind, but not to leave."

"So what do you want to do?"

"I want you dead."

Before Ye Zhaozhang could react, Lin Xuan raised his hand and shouted "Gun, come!" The Demonic Spear Annihilation was summoned and quickly turned into red smoke, gathering in Lin Xuan's palm and reforming into the shape of a spear.

Swish!

Lin Xuan thrust his spear at Ye Zhaozhang without the slightest hesitation.

"Hold!"

Ye Zhaozhang roared, crossed his arms, and used his wrist guards to block Lin Xuan's attack.

Boom!

With a muffled thud, the two of them were forced back.

Lin Xuan's lips twitched with anger, while his right hand trembled from the shock.

In his past life, he searched the entire True Martial Continent but couldn't find the real culprit who harmed his entire family. Unexpectedly, he actually encountered him here now.

Although Lin Xuan has been reborn, he still finds it hard to forget the screams of his family that night, the fire at the Lin mansion, and the scene of Uncle An protecting him with his life.

Not only that, even Xun Fu's family, who seemed to be protecting Lin Xuan, were implicated and wiped out.

Such deep-seated hatred is something Lin Xuan cannot let go of, even if he were to be reborn!

"Hahaha! Lin Xuan, you actually dare to face my Asura Armor head-on! Don't you know that the Asura Armor is completely immune to martial arts attacks?"

Ye Zhaozhang laughed loudly, mocking Lin Xuan's incompetence, "The harder you fight, the harder you'll fight back. In the end, you'll only kill yourself, hahaha!"
