It's finally over...
The war came fast and ended fast; it was unbelievable.
One needs to note that this wasn't a surprise attack like last time, but a real confrontation! The Bai family's years of rotting were beyond everyone's expectation. Opening the Bai family's energy warehouse, the dried up storage left people of the Tian family speechless. Such little amount of energy, does that even qualify as a small force?
Had they transferred it somewhere?
This isn't a joke.
The Bai family's warehouse had a mountain on one side and a river on the other side. It's impossible to transfer it all. As for consuming them all, it's even more impossible. Such a large warehouse, how could the energy be consumed all in just several days? The only possibility is that the Bai family didn't have much energy resources for a long time, and it kept gradually declined.
If so...
Then the countless Bai family's strong espers who got killed together with Lin Hu turned out to be the main force of the Bai family?
Thinking about this possibility, people from the Tian family didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So to speak, the one with the biggest contribution in this war is Lin Hu?
"Lin Hu..."
Thinking about this name really made Team A sad.
The explosion of Ling City's state-building was too terrifying. The entire building was reduced to ruins. Only several corpses remained scattered around. Although no one said anything, they could have guessed that Lin Hu was really dead this time since nothing remained after the explosion.
And now.
Lin Hu's actions were spread throughout the Tian family.
There were some who called him a fool, there were some who called him a retard, and there were also some who said he was loyal, needless to say, everyone had some sort of sincere admiration to him. Whether it was his deed or achievement, Lin Hu deserved to be admired. The angered Tian family vented their frustration on the Bai family.
On the fifth day of the war, it ended.
The entire Bai family got eradicated!
In fact, when the Tian family rushed over here, they were witnessing the scene of everyone in the Bai family running away. With no organized resistance, the Tian family easily cleared the scene. When the sun slowly rose on the fifth day, the Bai family vanished from being one of the top ten families.
Then, the news spread, shocking the entire world.
Everyone was shocked by the strength of the Tian family. They didn't know the truth but they were well aware that the Bai family is still one of the top ten families. Such family got destroyed in five days? Bai family's territory is so huge. To reach the headquarters from the border would already take five days.
Doesn't that mean...
The Tian family literally swept through the Bai family?!
That night, one couldn't count how many forces weren't able to sleep. Everyone was stunned by the Tian family's strength and began to discuss countermeasures in urgency. In just one night, the direction of the entire Federation had a huge change. The Tian family's confidence and overwhelming strength amazed them and caused all forces to lay low.
While the world outside underwent changes...
For people in the Tian family, who just won the war, the only task was to enjoy the joy of victory and sweep all the resources of the Bai family.
"So poor."
"Yeah, why is there nothing left?"
"They couldn't have ran away with the resources, right?"
"Yeah, right. The Bai family is like this. Haven't you heard that even their energy warehouse almost dried up? The Bai family had long lost its capital to be one of the top ten families. I think any random middle-size family has a pretty similar amount of resources with the Bai family. The only advantage the Bai family has is those two world espers..."
"Pfff, advantage? Those two world espers are so funny. The moment they saw us coming, they already fled."
"Haha, what a lamentable family."
While the Tian family's people looked for the Bai family's resources and cursed, when they saw any living body, they would kill without hesitation. From Team A to Team M, almost all the teams were dispatched, looking for available resources. The higher-ups even gave the order that if any resources found, half of it would belong to them.
Although it sounded nice...
When Team A was dispatched, others couldn't help but evade. There was no other way. Team A has always been the strongest team. Secondly, they are also the biggest contributor to this war, although that guy named Lin Hu died.
"They are Team A?"
"They are all peak domain espers. So powerful."
"Hey, their captain is our Clan Head, how could the mission end in failure?"
"Fart, Clan Head indeed has a powerful identity, but he didn't help much in the mission. He's not even that strong. In the end, wasn't it that Lin Hu who sacrificed himself to let them escape? To be frank, if I have a teammate like Lin Hu, I can even complete that mission too."
Everyone talked among themselves. Team A remained silent. Only Team F came to greet them because they were even more aware of what kind of person Lin Hu is.
"He won't blame any of you." Xie Te patted their shoulders. Team A could only bitterly smile.
"Don't overthink it. After all, you are all the heroes this time. If you get the least amount of resources, that would be a joke. Quickly go and find some."
"En."
Everyone in Team A bitterly smiled.
The current Bai family's resident seemed more like an ancient ruin for them to explore. The Tian family's various teams were all busy digging in the ruins to find resources. It was at this moment, a team dug on an abandoned cell and were shocked, "Huh, there seems to be someone imprisoned here."
"Oh?"
"The Bai family arrested someone?"
"The Bai family's enemy, isn't that our friend? Haha, doesn't it say so in the books?"
"Stop playing the fool. Don't save him first. See if he's alive or not. After confirming his identity, then we save him. But look at the bloodstains on this man's body. I can't imagine how much he had been tortured." Everyone carefully walked over here. However, when they saw that man's face, everyone was stunned.
"Lin Hu!"
"It turned out to be Lin Hu!"
"What?"
Everyone was shocked.
Team A and F, who were about to leave the scene, ran back here like madmen. Sure enough, when they saw the man who was locked in an iron chain and covered in scars, it was Lin Hu!
"It's him!"
"It's really him!"
Everyone was so excited.
"See if he's still alive."
Xie Te was so excited that he could barely control himself. Stretching out his hand, he verified, "He's alive! He's still breathing! Quick, anyone with a recovery talent! Come here and help!"
"Yes."
Someone quickly stepped forward. Xie Te took a few bottles of advanced recovery drug, but Su Hao's body still remained recovering at such a slow rate.
"What happened?" Xie Te frowned.
"It should be this iron chain. Lin Hu's physical body does not need any drugs as it has top-notch recovery. The other party must have been afraid of him running away after getting better and decided to seal his recovery with this chain. Otherwise, those whip marks would be impossible to inflict any damage." Someone from Team A hatefully explained.
"Damn Bai family!"
"Let's go. We will go see Lord Tian Gang." Xie Te gritted his teeth and destroyed the wall where the chain was attached. Together with the chain, he carried Su Hao away. Team A followed closely behind. Soon after they left, the scene turned into an uproar.
"Unbelievable, Lin Hu is still alive!"
"I thought he has a unique talent? Seems like he's lucky enough to keep his life intact. However, to be captured by the Bai family for interrogation, that's too pitiful. His body had been abused to such a degree. This shows that the other party didn't get any information they need. Otherwise, how could our attack against the Bai family be this smooth."
"Damn, this Lin Hu is so loyal."
"Yes, from now on, the ones this daddy admire, he would be one of them!"
Everyone in the Tian family was engaged in a heated discussion.
The news about Lin Hu being alive spread quickly throughout the entire Tian family. Everyone couldn't help but talk about it non-stop. The news about Lin Hu not leaking any information even after being tortured to near-death added another perfect accomplishment to his resume. Look at him; now this is the most loyal disciple.
Lin Hu had been taken away.
After a long session of discussion, everyone left. The Bai family was too poor. Obviously, they aren't worthy of being one of the top ten families, which could only make the Tian family smile bitterly. However, defeating the Bai family did bring unimaginable glory to the Tian family!
Soon...
The night was getting darker. There weren't many people left in the Bai family's residence. Only a few people were guarding here.
And no one was aware that just as they left, several figures appeared from the place where Lin Hu was imprisoned.
Buzz~
Light flashed.
From a distance all the way to this prison, a wide road appeared. Over a dozen men were standing there. From the start till the end, they were watching the situation where Lin Hu got taken away. After confirming everyone in the Tian family had left, these geniuses appeared stealthily.
"Finally, it's over."
A young man who was leading everyone sighed, "The Bai family is finished."
That tone was filled with endless emotion. If there are any people from the Tian family now, they would be shocked because the one who spoke just now turned out to be the supposedly dead Bai Lingfeng! And beside him were all those people who were with him in Ling City's state-building. They were all alive!
Behind Bai Lingfeng, there were the two world espers who got 'scared away' by the Tian family, and a total of six other men with similar aura to them!
Bai family's world espers, a total of eight!
"It's good that it ended." Bai Lingfeng smiled.
Yes!
This was a play!
From the start to the end, it was a play! Life is like a drama; everything relies on acting skills. This time, everyone from the Bai family performed really well under the leadership of Bai Lingfeng. They acted even more to show to those from the Bai family who were indecisive!
That day when Ling City's state-building got attacked, a Bai family's elder immediately organized a team of loyal men to capture Su Hao. In fact, it was to allow them to escape successfully. Later on, those who fled from the Bai family were all under the order of Bai Lingfeng. As for the "loyal" ones who stayed...
It's pretty simple.
Bai Lingfeng left a tempting amount of resources for them to compete for and let this group of gluttonous men fight for the resources. Those men who died would probably still be clueless of why the Tian family came.
This was a huge bet.
When Bai Lingfeng and Su Hao contacted each other, he could only smile bitterly, hinting his decision to retreat. However, Su Hao concocted this great show.
For this trick, they bet was the entire Bai family!
Bai Lingfeng trusted Su Hao unconditionally. Similarly, the actual Bai family retreated successfully with all their resources. This was why the Bai family looked poor on the outside. As a family that controls the economy, how could the Bai family's resources be compared to the other families?
However, none of these remained.
The game was now over.
From today onward, the Bai family of the top ten families vanished. What remained was a powerful, brand-new group that didn't wish to participate in any fights.
