Chapter 268: Dragon Whale Appears, Xu Family's Way Out
"Won!"

"He used a sword as a knife, and killed the Giant Whale Gang alone, and killed the third master of the Divine Mansion on the Black List with his sword. In the end, he used a sword like an immortal... Demon Sword Song Lin, he is really a demon!"

"Xu Shenglan's son is worthy of his mother, unparalleled in the world!"

"Even Yang Qingyuan can't beat him, right?"

All kinds of sounds were heard in Xuanlin Cave.

Tan Tai Xuan Yin snorted inexplicably. Yang Qingyuan had the world in his heart, and Song Lin killed his uncle and grandfather, how could he compare to him?

Even if he had his reasons...

Everyone was cheering, the Giant Whale Gang members were pale, and some forces that used to be on good terms with the Giant Whale Gang had flickering eyes.

Only Song Lin stood alone on the river, his brows grim, staring silently at Xu Canghai's body.

He was thinking about a question.

Is this all... too easy?
"hold head high--"

A long, earth-shaking roar came from the river in the distance.

Everyone turned around in shock, their eyes agape.

Xu Canghai is dead.

Could there be changes today?

"Special envoy of Cangzhou, Pei Qing. By order of the King of Cangzhou - Xuan Zhao!" A steady male voice came from afar.

The sound penetrated for miles and shook all around.

King of Cangzhou!
At this critical moment, what would the Cangzhou envoy do?
"hold head high--"

Another long, earth-shaking roar.

The waves surged, and the surface of the wide Minjiang River rose by three meters, which shocked everyone.

then.

A "mountain" emerged from the river surface in the distance. Its speed seemed to be extremely slow, but it arrived in front of Xuanlin Cave in the blink of an eye.

wow~~
A wave came like a wall, knocking many ships toppled.

"This is……"

The people in the martial arts world stared with wide eyes, looking up at the mountain-like creature in front of them, their eyes were stunned. Some people couldn't even bear the momentum of the giant whale, their legs went weak, and they almost fell to the ground.

It turned out to be a giant deep-sea whale!
Its entire body was pitch black, like a gigantic monster on an island, and its huge whale head had ferocious skeleton, as if it was about to transform into a sea dragon.

Countless people were shocked.

This is not only a giant whale, but also a dragon whale with a rare bloodline!
"It's still too late!"

A man falls from the back of a giant whale.

More than ten figures followed closely behind, each of them had a powerful aura. Three of them were the most special, as they were all masters of the Divine Palace.

Cangzhou Special Envoy!

This is the appearance that a true Cangzhou envoy should have.

Compared with him, the illegitimate son of King Cangzhou was nothing but rotten fish!

Everyone's eyes fell on the middle-aged man in the lead.

He was wearing a gorgeous dress with a green background and a blue collar, and a jade pendant hung around his waist with the word "Cang" engraved on it. The man stood with his hands behind his back in front of Xu Canghai's corpse, and a majestic aura arose spontaneously.

He is also a god!
The arrival of the four great divine palaces made everyone afraid to move for a moment.

"You are the Demon Sword Song Lin?"

Cangzhou Special Envoy Pei Qing raised his head and looked at Song Lin, who was wearing a blood-red robe.

"it's me."

Song Lin responded calmly.

"That's all."

Pei Qing sighed, and seemed not to intend to investigate Xu Canghai's death.

He reached into his arms, took out a scroll of imperial edict, and said loudly in front of everyone: "I am hereby proclaimed by the order of the King of Cangzhou. The Giant Whale Gang has been established for decades and has benefited the people of Minjiang. It is both talented and virtuous. I hereby order Song Lin to make peace with the Giant Whale Gang and not to cause unrest in the world because of personal interests."

"Song Lin, can you accept the order?"

After the words fell, the whole place was silent.

In just a short edict, he pointed out the position and status of the Giant Whale Gang, and used the righteousness to pressure Song Lin to let go of his hatred.

What kind of agreement did King Cangzhou reach with the Giant Whale Gang that he issued such an order!
Song Lin looked at Pei Qing, and everyone looked at him too.

The Cangzhou envoy and his entourage, including the four great divine palace masters, were all looking at Song Lin.

A solemn atmosphere spread in the scene.

catch?
Still not answering?

Xu Canghai was already dead, so it seemed that accepting this order was no big deal. But with Song Lin's temperament, could he bear this?
But, that’s the King of Cangzhou!

Everyone felt heavy pressure for Song Lin.

Back then, he was young and ignorant and killed the illegitimate son of King Cangzhou. This matter was suppressed by the Princess of Cangzhou.

After all, such things are not worthy of being made public.

If he dared to disobey the order of King Cangzhou again today... not to mention the consequences of angering King Cangzhou, the four gods from Cangzhou present would probably be enough to give him a hard time.

this moment.

The air seemed to freeze, and the drizzle falling from the sky seemed to be frozen in the wind.

"Song Lin."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Pei Qing finally took the initiative to speak: "Actually, I really don't want to come for this job. But the king gave the order himself. The king is the God of Cangzhou, and no one can disobey his orders."

"So Pei, I have to come."

The Cangzhou envoy seemed very easy to talk to. His tone was gentle and neither humble nor arrogant. He tried to persuade Song Lin to let go of his prejudice.

however.

Song Lin still didn't speak.

He just looked at Pei Qing silently, and at the group of people behind him.

"I understand that you are still dissatisfied. Did you see it?"

Pei Qing shook his head helplessly and pointed at the dragon whale behind him.

"This is a gift from the Giant Whale Gang to the King of Cangzhou. It is a deep-sea monster that is comparable to the Divine Mansion Realm, but its strength exceeds that of a hundred or so Divine Mansions... I went to the sea to receive this gift, and that's why I was a step late."

As he spoke, he winked at Song Lin with a meaningful look.

Hear the words.

Many people couldn't help but be moved.

What is late?

This Cangzhou special person might have done it on purpose!
He was unsure who would win today, so in order not to offend either side, he arrived a moment late on purpose.

A battle today.

If Song Lin dies, then nothing more can be said.

If Xu Canghai died, it seemed that there would be no loss to Cangzhou's interests.

What he was most worried about was probably the stalemate between the two sides.

This statement did not specify what specific agreement the Giant Whale Gang had reached with the King of Cangzhou to allow him to protect the Giant Whale Gang, but it was considered to be a great honor for Song Lintian.

Use power to suppress others, and win them over with virtue.

Pei Qing was able to become the special envoy of the King of Cangzhou, so he must have some skills.

at last.

Song Lin spoke.

"King Cangzhou's intention is to protect the Giant Whale Gang?" Pei Qing nodded slowly.

He said seriously: "When will the cycle of revenge end? Since you have already taken revenge, those innocent people should be spared."

"But I haven't known the truth yet."

Song Lin took a step forward, as if he wanted to confront Cangzhou's group.

"Be bold!"

"Get out!"

The three gods behind Pei Qing suddenly roared, their aura bursting out, and each of them was surprisingly above the Yin-Yang realm.

Song Lin said nothing, but his momentum did not give in at all.

Pei Qing was in the middle of it, looking calm and composed, still smiling.

See this scene.

Many people couldn't help but feel fearful.

This special envoy from Cangzhou is probably the most powerful one among those who came today.

"Everyone is dead, does the truth still matter? Child, listen to me and let go of the unnecessary hatred." Pei Qing sighed and advised: "Your life should have a broader world, why... cling to this."

"Useless hatred?"

Song Lin couldn't help sneering at Pei Qing.

"Let me let go of my hatred, okay. Hand over Xu Yunxiong, Xu Haiquan, and the entire Xu family, and I can let these people from the Giant Whale Gang go."

He pointed.

The fierce momentum actually forced tens of thousands of people from the Giant Whale Gang to take a step back.

One person against tens of thousands.

They never imagined that one day the lives of tens of thousands of members of the Giant Whale Gang would be decided by the mouth of one person.

"After Xu Yunxiong handed the giant whale to me, he left the Minjiang River." Pei Qing was embarrassed when he heard this. "And I don't know where those people from the Xu family are. I think... they should have left too."

"what!"

Shocking.

There were as many as 60,000 to 70,000 people in Xuanlin Cave, and they couldn't help but exclaim when they heard this.

The core members of the Giant Whale Gang had already escaped?

If Xu Canghai fails to defeat Song Lin today, will he escape at the critical moment?

If it weren’t for Song Lin’s final unpredictable sword, he would have escaped!

"Great! What a great Giant Whale Gang! It turns out they have been planning to escape for a long time!"

"What kind of sinful things have they done to anger the heavens and the people? They are preparing for retreat before even starting the war?"

"Shameless!"

"They sold out tens of thousands of gang members. The Xu family is truly a family of ruthless people!"

Shouts and curses rang out, and the crowd was excited.

Even the remaining tens of thousands of Giant Whale Gang disciples could not help but join in the chorus of curses.

of course.

There were also many sober people who couldn't help but have a thought flashing through their minds, "Xu Canghai...why did he run away?"

From beginning to end.

Song Lin remained silent.

Although he had expected this scene, he still found it ridiculous.

The Xu family escaped, they really escaped!

He abandoned tens of thousands of gang members and countless assets, sold out Xu Yunling, the second son of the Xu family, and disappeared without a trace.

Things have come to this.

The Cangzhou envoy completely denied everything. Song Lin wanted to refuse, but he had to agree.

this moment.

Many people have already understood.

Since the Xu family escaped, the remaining disciples of the Giant Whale Gang and the Giant Whale Gang's assets across the three rivers all became the property of King Cangzhou.

Can the Minjiang Prefecture Market and the Water Palace be compared with the foundation accumulated by the Giant Whale Gang over decades?

The ultimate beneficiary of this battle is only one person.

King of Cangzhou!
How can Song Lin, alone, compete with the King of Cangzhou?

He had only one choice - to accept the order.

"quiet!"

Pei Qing's face darkened and he suppressed all the voices present.

Holding the Cangzhou King's decree in both hands, he said solemnly, "Song Lin, accept the decree."

"..."

Song Lin had a cold face and slowly raised his hand, holding the scroll of royal decrees.

He clenched it so hard that his knuckles seemed to be pinched with white tendons. However, the light scroll was not damaged at all, as if no matter how powerful the power between heaven and earth was, it could not crush the noble will within it.

King Cangzhou, I will remember you.

This scene.

At the same time, it is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

Receive the order with one hand.

It seemed to express the unyielding attitude of the unruly young man towards the high and mighty King Cangzhou. However, he accepted the imperial edict after all. Who knew the shame and unwillingness in it?
"good!"

A smile appeared on Pei Qing's lips.

Then he waved his hand, and Cangzhou's group began to enter Xuanlin Cave, including the three great masters of the Divine Palace. One of them even took the initiative to collect the remains of 'Xu Canghai'.

All the Giant Whale Gang disciples felt as if they had been saved and quickly retreated into the Xuanlin Cave.

They were completely frightened by the killing of Song Lin.

"Goodbye."

Pei Qing nodded to Song Lin, put one hand behind his back, protected his abdomen with the other hand, and walked forward calmly.

Just then.

Song Lin suddenly said to Pei Qing who was walking by: "Xu Canghai is not dead, right?"

"what?"

Pei Qing paused and turned around with a confused look on his face.

"Ha~"

Song Lin curled the corner of his mouth and turned to walk out of Xuanlin Cave.

Wow~~
The water surged, supporting his feet.

"Woo~~"

The dragon whale blocking the water entrance of Xuanlin Cave suddenly felt a murderous aura for no apparent reason and took the initiative to give up its position.

In front of Xuanlin Cave.

Pei Qing stared at Song Lin's back for a long time without moving.

Everyone present silently looked at Song Lin's back as he was admitted.

Independent and aloof... The King of Cangzhou used his power to make him bow temporarily, but could he really conquer his heart?
