Dual Cultivator Reborn [System In The Cultivation World] Chapter 1037: Twisted young master ready to devour everything

Alena was utterly stunned when Jasmine casually disclosed Yohan's intent to dismantle the Lin clan's existing structure and erect a new one in its place.

"My son... what on earth is he contemplating?" Alena murmured, her expression darkening considerably. She immediately felt the urge to rise from her bedchamber to prevent Yohan from acting on his intentions, but Jasmine gently restrained her.

"It is for the best..." Jasmine declared, clasping Alena's hand with a look of unyielding resolve. Alena gazed at Jasmine, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"Jasmine, do you not grasp the immense weight he will bear for his entire life? To extinguish his own blood relatives—the esteemed elders who have dedicated generations to the clan—even if they are all steeped in corruption, they have still served the clan..." Alena was in the middle of her plea when a figure suddenly materialized before them. Both Alena and Jasmine were startled by Yohan's appearance within her private chambers.

"They are undeserving of your compassion... those scoundrels are beyond redemption." He met Alena's gaze, recognizing her inherent innocence, yet acknowledging her naivety regarding human avarice. Those indolent elders, he knew, would resort to any means to preserve the power and wealth they so comfortably enjoyed.

"Yohan..." Alena gently cupped Yohan's face between her palms, her gaze earnest. She desperately wished to prevent him from tainting his hands with the blood of his kinsmen and those bound to him by lineage. She was also consumed by fear, dreading the reaction of Father Lin and her husband upon learning of Yohan's ruthless annihilation of his own people.

"I will not waver..." Yohan whispered, his eyes fixed on Alena, burning with an intense, cold resolve to kill.

"What transpired within the matriarch's hall?" she inquired, perplexed by his profound agitation. Yohan remained silent for a moment before finally revealing the truth.

"The six high elders are in league with the allied branch leaders... the seven houses sworn to serve the Lin clan are plotting a rebellion. That is precisely why they dared to reject the official summons, openly declaring their long-suppressed ambitions!" Yohan proclaimed. Alena's countenance shifted dramatically upon hearing this revelation. Jasmine, however, was not taken aback; having resided there for nearly two years, she had an inkling that such a confrontation was inevitable, given Yohan's stark divergence from his father and grandfather.

Jasmine understood one fundamental truth: when those in power cannot control or suppress you, they invariably seek your elimination through any available means. Such is human nature, and it was only a matter of time before those holding sway would unite to bring down Yohan.

"Beyond the rebellion..." Yohan paused, his gaze settling on Alena. She was visibly shaken by the revelation of the high elders' collusion with the very houses the Lin clan had harbored for generations. A significant portion of these branch family leaders were, in fact, descendants of the Lin clan, sharing blood ties with Yohan.

"What else is there?" Alena pressed, noting the hesitant expression on Yohan's face.

"Those individuals might be connected to Father's sudden disappearance..." Yohan confided, his voice barely a whisper. Alena's eyes widened in sheer astonishment; she could scarcely believe what she was hearing. While she was aware of the internal strife within the clan, she had never imagined such a dire possibility.

"You need not concern yourself with anything further. I vow, if those wretches had any involvement in Father's vanishing..." Yohan gently clasped Alena's hand.

"I understand... do what you must. I will not stand in your way, not if they had any hand in Su Lin's disappearance...!" Alena whispered. Acknowledging her response, Yohan inclined his head, his eyes finding Jasmine, who stood silently nearby.

"I shall remain here with Mother!" Jasmine affirmed.

Yohan gave a curt nod, and in the very next instant, he vanished from Alena's chamber.

Meanwhile, at that precise moment, a handsome young man was observed awaiting someone's arrival, with four figures positioned behind him, trembling in palpable fear. Three of these were elderly, while the fourth was middle-aged. The young man overseeing them was none other than Lucine.

Earlier, Yohan had summoned him outside the matriarch's manor, instructing him to keep a watchful eye on these men while Yohan proceeded to meet with his mother, Lady Alena.

Lucine was unaware of the full extent of the situation, but judging by Yohan's stern demeanor, he could discern that Yohan was in no pleasant mood. The individuals under his watch appeared utterly defeated, their bodies wracked with fear as if they had endured some terrible ordeal. Lucine privately pondered what could have possibly happened to them to inspire such profound terror. His contemplation was interrupted by Yohan's sudden reappearance.

"Young Master Yohan..." Lucine uttered, his voice filled with apprehension upon seeing Yohan. The four figures nearby stiffened, a collective gasp escaping them as memories of the matriarch’s hall flooded their minds.

"Lucine, this night promises to be an extended one!" Yohan stated nonchalantly, a remark that caught Lucine completely off guard. Yohan's intent was clear: to extinguish every life present.

The four elders exchanged nervous glances, swallowing hard at Yohan's words. At that precise moment, three female figures materialized, startling Lucine and the elders alike. Yohan, however, remained unperturbed, even as he recognized Athena, Aana, and Kana, all cultivators at the Heavenly Soul Realm.

Yohan had already conveyed the entirety of the situation to them through his spiritual senses. Lucine's body began to tremble, sensing a formidable aura emanating from the women; he understood, with a chilling certainty, that these exquisite beings were Young Master Yohan’s consorts.

"Let’s conclude this swiftly... once we deal with these decaying relics of the clan, we'll be departing for a spell," Yohan declared, his gaze sweeping towards the sky where the three women hovered.

Lucine felt a jolt of surprise at Yohan's declaration. Judging by the expression on Yohan's face, he knew with absolute certainty that this night would indeed be long, and drenched in blood.

Athena gracefully descended to the ground, Aana and Kana following in her wake. Their sharp gazes fixed upon the four trembling men, who were visibly petrified.

"Why are you involving them? Wouldn't it be better to simply eliminate them?" Athena directed a piercing look towards Yohan. The instant the words left her lips, the four elders felt as though their souls were about to detach from their bodies, recognizing that terrifying sensation from their ordeal in the matriarch’s hall.

Yohan offered a simple scratch to the back of his head in response to Athena.

"Well, truthfully, I'm unfamiliar with the precise locations and appearances of the higher-ranking elders; consider them our guides," Yohan replied, leaving Athena, Aana, and Kana utterly astonished. Even Lucine and the four elders stood dumbfounded by his audacious statement.

The three stunning women could only let out sighs of resignation at Yohan's preposterous reasoning. Nevertheless, they ultimately acceded to Yohan's unconventional strategy.

One by one, the three women departed, each accompanied by an elder who would serve as their guide to their respective familial branches. Yohan had previously instructed them to eliminate any opposition they encountered, but specifically requested that the high elders be captured alive and brought back to their current location.

With three of his companions gone, each escorting a frail-looking old man towards their assigned factions, Yohan and Lucine were left facing a middle-aged man whose face was etched with horror at his predicament. His companions had been taken by three ladies, leaving him alone to confront Yohan. He inwardly cursed his misfortune for becoming entangled with this ruthless young master, who showed no hesitation in sacrificing his own kin.
