The hall masters looked at Lin Ye lying on the ground, unconscious, their expressions becoming increasingly grave.

Because, through judgment, they had now confirmed two things.

The first thing was that Lin Ye was a genuine human.

The second thing was that Lin Ye was completely unaware of the attack on Wu Lvzhu.

But regarding the life and death of Lin Yiqiu, and the matters of the Lin Family demons, he refused to answer, even risking his life to attack them.

"The Lin Family cannot be insulted!"

These were Lin Ye's last words before falling unconscious.

The two pieces of information confirmed by the [Truth Candle] led directly to one question.

No just cause.

Yes.

Even if they deployed troops to confirm that the Lin Family indeed harbored many demons.

But as long as the Lin Family had no connection with the demons that attacked Wu Lvzhu.

As long as the steward of the Lin Family was not a demon.

Then, the justification for Foolish Underworld launching an attack began to falter.

"This is troublesome."

An Menyi's face was heavy.

The Dark Hall Master [Ye Zhongyu] was no exception.

Originally, they had made a surprise attack, aiming to swiftly resolve the issue by beheading the head demon of the Lin Family and finishing quickly.

Not only helping the Lin Family greatly, allowing them to break free from demon control.

They could also help the Lin Family find more demon traitors.

With this attack, they'd not only avenge Wu Lvzhu but also significantly assist the Lin Family.

When the Lin Family realized it, not only could they not have a grudge against Foolish Underworld, but they would also need to thank them instead!

But all of this collapsed entirely because Lin Ye was human and had nothing to do with the attack on Wu Lvzhu.

"At least we helped the Lin Family find quite a few demon traitors?"

Juanan Hall Master Can Can said.

Looking at the chaos outside, indeed a lot of help had been provided.

But whether the Lin Family acknowledges it, that's another matter.

"Withdraw."

Ming Hall Master Ming Tianqi suddenly spoke.

"What?"

Everyone was baffled.

"I said, withdraw!"

"..."

They exchanged glances but no one spoke.

Juanan Hall Master pointed at the unconscious Lin Ye on the ground.

"What about this person?"

"What about him? A chief steward of the Lin Family, a bona fide member of the Lin Family, are we really going to kill him? Or drag him back for harsh interrogation? Do you really think we, Foolish Underworld, can exert control over the Lin Family? Leave him to the Lin Family people on the road to take care of, it's time for us to pull back."

The Truth Candle is not omnipotent.

But when the other party refuses to speak, the Truth Candle is meaningless.

The hall masters could groundlessly speculate that refusing to answer meant having something to hide.

But words without proof are just speculation, of what use?

Others could guess that Foolish Underworld was in collusion with demons, intentionally attacking the Lin Family.

Mere speculation cannot stand as a solid foundation, unable to justify this action.

"Leave the remaining demons for the Lin Family to handle."

They sent a withdrawal signal towards the sky.

Everyone in Foolish Underworld received the signal.

Foolish Underworld was withdrawing, and the Lin Family would not stop them.

After all, there were demons outside, and just now, they fought alongside Foolish Underworld, briefly becoming semi-allies.

The withdrawal of Foolish Underworld was smooth.

However, the hall masters who orchestrated this action encountered trouble.

"Who permitted you to leave!"

Woo woo woo!!!

A terrifying force suddenly surged towards them!

Before the person arrived, the wind came first.

The exaggerated air pressure made the robes of the hall masters flutter wildly.

Yet...

Bang!!!

The few hall masters almost simultaneously turned around, each meeting the attacker with a palm strike.

Boom!!!

The person who had just attacked was immediately sent flying back more than ten meters, hiding his trembling hand behind his back, looking coldly at the four.

"No wonder tonight is so lively. It turns out the dogs of Foolish Underworld are running wild on my Lin Family's territory."

An Menyi frowned.

"Elder Lin Bei, no need for such harsh words. You should have seen the number of demons within the Lin Family tonight; don't tell me this was all within the calculations of your Lin Family."

The person was none other than Lin Family Elder, Lin Bei.

Lin Bei sneered coldly.

"No matter how many demons the Lin Family has, what business is it of your Foolish Underworld? The matters of the Lin Family will be resolved by the Lin Family, unrelated to outsiders!"

"That's not right, Elder Lin Bei. Tianyuan Town belongs to all; if something happens to the Lin Family, we're anxious too." Ming Hall Master Ming Tianqi said with a smile.

"Alright, alright!"

Lin Bei immediately blew his beard and stared.

"I haven't come out in years, and Foolish Underworld has grown quite bold. Tonight, I want to see if Foolish Underworld's mouths are tougher, or if this old man's fists are!"

Without waiting for a response, Lin Bei charged again.

The hall masters' faces slightly changed, immediately teaming up and forming a stance.

However, after just a few dozen exchanges of rapid counterattacks, Lin Bei was forced to retreat, half-kneeling on the ground, a slight trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

On his face, there was shock and disbelief.

"Since when have you little ones become so strong?"

An Menyi asked with a smile.

"Old sir, times are progressing, and we haven't been idle while you were in seclusion."

The once unattainable Lin Family Elder can no longer be beaten, especially when they are outnumbered.

"Elder Lin Bei, the most important thing right now is not to block our departure. Rather, it's how your Lin Family should deal with these demons?"

Ming Tianqi said calmly.

What they feared was the Lin Family as a whole, the supreme one of the Lin Family, not merely an individual elder.
