“So, are you willing to participate in the plan?”
Su Jingxing said, “As you’ve said, most of the people in your alliance are facing the threat of death. At this time, the earlier the application for the duel is approved, the smaller the threat. I can wait, but you people don’t have much time left.”
“I’m willing!”
Shen Qian was the first to step out and raise her hand in agreement.
“Me too,” Xiao Chengyue followed and raised his hand.
“Me too.”
“And me!”
“…”
Without much hesitation, they stood up one after another.
Su Jingxing had already taken on the biggest part, so what were they afraid of?
In a family clan duel, every match was one-on-one.
If they do die on stage, at least they would have gotten some rest time for Su Jingxing.
But if they do end up killing a person by risking themselves, it would be a huge gain.
In the arena, anything could be used.
Hidden weapons, poisonous gas, self-destruction… As long as one could kill his opponent, he could do anything.
Under such circumstances, there was no reason for them to give up this opportunity that hadn’t come by easily to take revenge openly!
Su Jingxing was satisfied.
“Select the people that will be joining the Lin family first and wait for my notice.”
“Okay, Senior. This is my contact number.” Shen Qian stepped forward slightly and handed over a note.
Su Jingxing released his true energy and drew the note to him from a distance.
He took a glance and tossed it back to Shen Qian.
Following which, he turned around and vanished on the spot.

Dawn.
On a long street that was adjacent to the main road in the Western District of Qinghe City.
Creak. Creak.
The subtle sound of tires rubbing against the ground rang out, waking up the streets that saw few pedestrians this morning.
In the cold, wet wind, the truck, loaded with garbage, stopped in front of a garbage bin. From the driver’s seat, a hunch-backed, gray-haired old man with a face full of wrinkles alighted.
The old man, wearing a mask, opened the trash can with practiced ease. He used tongs and shovels to transfer the trash in the bin into the truck.
The foul odor unique to garbage mixed into the morning breeze.
“Lin Tuotian.”
Suddenly, a low and slightly hoarse voice sounded.
Su Jingxing, who was still wearing a cloak and a mask, stood out of the wind and stared at the old man who was emptying the garbage. He spoke calmly.
“Lin Tuotian, do you want revenge?”
The old man did not react. It was as if he was deaf as he busied himself with his work.
Su Jingxing didn’t mind and continued talking to himself.
“A few days ago, I just destroyed a secret base of the Shi Family outside the city and rescued more than a hundred girls.
“After I came back, I exposed this matter through the Internet and attracted the attention of the entire city.
“Although there was no concrete evidence, there has been a lot of commotion in real life and on the Internet for the past few days. Everyone in the city is discussing whether it was the Shi Family’s doing.
“And the effect was not bad. It drew out the Stone Annihilation Alliance that was secretly formed because of the Shi Family’s persecution over the years. They all wanted to destroy the Shi Family, but they could not find an opportunity.
“Due to certain reasons, I also wanted the Shi Family members to die. Therefore, I reached an agreement with them to apply for a duel.”
The moment the word “duel” was spoken, the old man who had not reacted all this while suddenly froze in his movements, and his hunched body trembled slightly.
Although he quickly returned to normal, Su Jingxing, who was always paying attention to him the whole time, didn’t miss it.
Lin Tuotian, the final survivor of the Lin Family. The family that had dominated the Western District 30 years ago but disappeared overnight due to a duel with the Shi Family.
When the Lin Family was still around, Lin Tuotian was the youngest son of the patriarch.
With his actual age, he was 45 years old this year.
However, at this moment, Lin Tuotian, who was emptying the trash, could be said to be 75 years old.
The reason was because the Shi Family had never let him off.
Of course, Lin Tuotian hadn’t come into contact with people at Shi Jinnian’s level yet.
The ones who had been humiliating and suppressing him were the subordinates of the Shi Family.
Shi Yankang was the overall in-charge, while the people executing his orders changed batch after batch.
Wan Rong, Su Jingxing’s previous enemy, was lucky enough to have had his turn once!
That’s right.
Su Jingxing knew about family clan duels, the Lin Family, and Lin Tuotian because he had gone through Wan Rong’s memories.
This former enemy, though dead, was still helpful to Su Jingxing.
Starting a duel against the Shi Family required a hundred names.
And also a legitimate motive.
Getting Lin Tuotian to join them and applying in the name of taking revenge for the Lin Family was the best excuse!
As long as the plan went well,
Lin Tuotian and the people from the Stone Annihilation Alliance would have fulfilled their wishes for revenge.
Su Jingxing would obtain a large amount of Three Yin Candles Blood to feed Thunderbolt.
And those who were oppressed by the Shi Family would be freed.
Those girls born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year who had been used as provisions by the Shi Family for so many years and had blood from their hearts dug out could also rest in peace!
In fact, the Li Family, who was monitoring the Stone Annihilation Alliance from behind the scenes, could also seize the opportunity to annex the Shi Family’s businesses.
Although the Li Family was the top martial arts family in Qinghe City, over the years, the Shi Family had been strengthening themselves. On the surface, they were competing with the Li Family, but in secret, they were nurturing various subordinate forces and large batches of sacrificial soldiers.
At this rate, the Shi Family would surpass the Li Family in ten years at most.
Hence, the Li Family would be happy to see the Shi Family destroyed.
When Su Jingxing took action, not only would the Li Family not stop him, instead they would also aid him in secret.
It could be said that once the Shi Family was destroyed, it would be a win for many parties.
So.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter he had settled the Stone Annihilation Alliance, Su Jingxing quickly found Lin Tuotian.
“Family clans are the units in duels.
“We have the people, the money and the strength. All we lack is the final act of righteousness.
“Lin Tuotian, if you’re willing to work with us, we can take this opportunity.
“With the aid of your identity, we can save a lot of trouble.
“If you don’t wish to, then don’t force it. The number of small family clans that have been wiped out by the Shi Family over the years aren’t in the minority either.”
Su Jingxing finished his narration calmly. “We’re in a hurry. Five minutes later, if you still haven’t decided…”
“I want Shi Yankang to die!”
A hoarse and sharp voice that sounded like a crow’s cry suddenly rang out.
After clearing the trash, Lin Tuotian suddenly lifted his head, straightened his back, and clenched his fists, his eyes shining with hatred.
“After you’ve killed Shi Yankang, I will work with you people!”
“Shi Yankang?” Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, “He just died this morning.”
“Heh!”
Lin Tuotian let out a cold harrumph, lowered his head, and bent down to move the trash.
“You don’t believe me?”
Su Jingxing took out his phone and dialed Shen Qian’s number.
After the call was connected, he didn’t say anything else and directly got Shen Qian to send the video of them killing Shi Yankang in the wee hours to him.
This was the Stone Annihilation Alliance’s proof of allegiance, especially the killing of Shi Yankang.
The process of the interception and kill was recorded from the start through the cameras at the crossroads.
Su Jingxing had known that Shen Qian and the rest would do this before he took action.
Hence, it was easy to get the recording.
Su Jingxing opened the video and showed it to Lin Tuotian.
A few minutes later.
“Hahaha!”
Lin Tuotian burst into loud laughter, as if he had gone mad.
“Good, good, good, a deserved death!
“I agree to cooperate with you!”
