Chapter 969 Hand them over
The short cloaked figure didn't say anything after hearing this, but the way that he stood there made it clear that he was looking at Lin Fan intently.
With the way that he stood there silently, it was almost as if he was trying to figure something out about Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn't say anything as he waited for the short cloaked figure to speak again.
After a long silence, the short cloaked figure finally asked, "Is it worth it doing all of this for the Mu Empire? It's clear that you're the one that's controlling these spirit beasts, which means that you must be some kind of genius. Why are you limiting yourself to this Mu Empire?"
Lin Fan didn't say anything in response to this.
When the short cloaked figure saw this, he continued by saying, "You should know that even if the Mu Empire is able to resist the invasion of the Wu Empire, it's not as if anything will change. In the face of the overwhelming might of the Five Great Sects, you should know that everything that the Mu Empire possesses is useless. A talent like you is wasted in a place like this."
In a more animated voice, he said, "Someone of your abilities shouldn't waste their life in a place like this. As long as you come to the Wu Empire, we will be able to link you to the Five Great Sects. You'll be able to reach the peak of the continent as long as you follow us."
After saying all of this, the short cloaked figure finally fell silent and just stood there as if he was waiting for a response.
Lin Fan had been silent the entire time, so he thought that he was listening carefully to him.
In his mind, the Five Great Sects were the peak of the continent and there wasn't a single person that didn't want to get closer to them.
That was why the short cloaked figure never expected Lin Fan to suddenly...
"Ha, ha, ha, is that all that you have to say? I have to say that it was a bit disappointing. I was expecting a bit more from you, but it seems that there was nothing useful that you had for me." Lin Fan said in a tone that almost seemed like he was taunting him,
The face of the short cloaked figure couldn't be seen, but the fact that he trembled was more than enough to show that he was caught off guard by Lin Fan's reaction.
But the trembling that came after was different.
The trembling that came after this first one wasn't a show of his surprise, but rather it was to show that he was a bit angry because of Lin Fan's response.
After all, the way that Lin Fan said this was almost as if he was looking down on the Five Great Sects.
That hurt the pride of the short cloaked figure far more than if he insulted the Wu Empire.
After all, the Five Great Sects was what the short cloaked figure wanted to join one day, it was his goal in life. The fact that he was connected to the Five Great Sects and had a chance to communicate with those that were from the Five Great Sects was something that he took pride in.
It was something that he took pride in more than the pride that his country, the Wu Empire, could give him.
Which was why he heard the Five Great Sects being looked down on like this, it actually angered him more than when Lin Fan made fun of the Wu Empire.
He actually had less pride in his country than he did in knowing the Five Great Sects.
It really went to show just how much he cared about the Five Great Sects.
"You fool! How dare you say something like that about the Five Great Sects! Do you know what kind of a frog in the well you are!" The short cloaked figure seemed like he had finally lost his temper when he said this.
Lin Fan wanted to get this information willingly since he might get more useful information, but if he wasn't willing.
"Alright, then since you won't say anything..."
With a flick of his finger, the cloak dropped and the appearance of the short cloaked figure was revealed. Though the reason why the cloak dropped wasn't because he dropped it, it was because there was nothing holding it up anymore. Discover hidden tales at empire
There was a head that flew through the air.
...
"How is it, do you have any regrets?" Lin Fan asked Huang Xie when he came back to the Huang Family manor.
Looking around, he already knew the answer to his question.
After all, all of the members of the Huang Family were lying on the ground as if life had been pulled out of them. It looked like they had been completely messed with with the expression on their faces.
Huang Xie turned around to look at Lin Fan before giving a satisfied nod.
Lin Fan shook his head with a smile when he saw Huang Xie like this, but he didn't say anything else as he started walking towards the entrance of the Huang Family manor.
When he arrived, he found that there was a group of people gathered there.
This was the group of hidden guards from the city lord manor that had followed them.
He had given them an order to wait here for him and Huang Xie, so they had been waiting here the entire time. Lin Fan had to admit that they were quite patient that they were able to wait all this time.
It was strange if they weren't curious about the spiritual energy fluctuations that were coming from inside the Huang Family manor.
But they had been able to curb their curiosity and remain outside the entire time as per his orders.
So at least it seemed like they were trustworthy.
"Go on, arrest all of the people from the Huang Family and take their assets. They have betrayed the kingdom by working with the Wu Empire, so we'll have to figure out what to do with them."
"Huh?" The young girl who was in charge of this group was shocked to hear this.
She looked at Lin Fan with a strange look when she heard this, but he calmly looked back at her and waited for her to follow his orders.
After a moment of silence, the young girl slowly gave a nod and waved her hand for the hidden guards to follow her.
When they walked into the Huang Family manor, they were shocked by what they saw.
Only Lin Fan didn't care as he started walking away.
He had done all that he needed to do, the rest of how the Huang Family was taken care of was up to the city lord.
