Chapter 335: 335. Who Gave You the Gall?

335. Chapter 335: Who Gave You the Gall?

After listening to the old man, Lv Luo couldn't help but wonder again; it was the Lin Family just a moment ago, so what kind of sacred entity was this Nangong Family now?

"The Nangong Family?"

Lv Luo asked subconsciously.

"That's right. Originally, after the Lin Family declined, the Nangong Family rose to become the number one great clan. But being the number one clan isn't so easy. The Nangong Family naturally came under siege from other families. Some time ago, the Head of the Family and the Young Master were successively murdered, and as a result, almost all of the Nangong Family's resources were carved up."

The old man couldn't help but sigh. His lifespan was nearing its end, and he viewed matters of power with great detachment.

Power is truly a maddening thing; everyone is trapped in an endless cage of greed in pursuit of it.

But for someone like him who is about to die, he sees everything clearly. Whether it's power or money, it's all just passing clouds.

"Was it swallowed up by the Sun Family and the Ouyang Family?"

Lv Luo couldn't help but ask.

"No, it was four newly emerged forces: the Seven Kings Mansion, Leiyin Mountain, the Taiyi Sword Sect, and the Ziwei Pavilion," the old man shook his head and explained.

Upon hearing this, Lv Luo became lost in thought.

"Young lady, if you are here in the Central Province simply for a visit, I suggest you leave quickly. After all, it is truly not peaceful here right now. A young lady like you, with such profound cultivation and good looks, is very easily noticed by them and suspected of being a remnant, or they might do something untoward."

Seeing that Lv Luo showed no signs of fear, the old man couldn't help but offer a reminder.

From their brief interaction, he could tell that Lv Luo was not a malicious person. It would be better for such a kind-hearted young lady not to get involved in these muddy waters.

"Thank you, Grandpa, I understand."

Lv Luo came back to her senses and thanked the old man earnestly before returning to find Su Chen.

After she returned, she recounted everything the old man had said word for word.

"It seems it is not advisable for us to be impulsive right now. I can sense that very strong restrictions have been placed on the city gates. If we force our way through, I fear it will cause a great disturbance."

After listening, Yi Zhuyue was the first to express her opinion.

"That's right, let's wait until the city gates open tomorrow before we go in."

Lv Luo nodded in agreement.

"Then what is our first step after we go in? The forces of the entire Central Province look incredibly complex right now."

Natasha couldn't help but ask. From Lv Luo's few words, she could feel that the entire Central Province was like a pot of hot porridge.

"We still need to deal with those remnants of the Lin Family first. It looks like they aren't much of a threat, so they should be easier to handle. Plus, they were insufferably arrogant before, so naturally, we can't let them continue to be so rampant."

After thinking it over, Su Chen decided to deal with the remnants of the Lin Family first, especially Lin Zhengnan.

As for the others, he would take care of them one by one; he would absolutely not let a single one go.

Although there might be some he had never met before, in the original book, these were all the culprits who had once harmed him.

Su Chen didn't fancy himself a good person, especially since these people had tried to kill him. Now, it was either he dealt with them, or they dealt with him.

Thinking of this, Su Chen felt not the slightest bit of mercy.

Luo Shen nodded.

The group tidied up their belongings, spent the night, and entered the city the next day. It was not difficult to find the location of the Lin Family. Although they were now just a group of remnants, their foundation was still there, so they occupied an island and enjoyed quite a few resources.

"Today is the time for us to take our revenge. And those resources—we must take them all, not leaving a single bit behind."

Su Chen stretched his joints and said nonchalantly.

The others had no objections.

To them, going against Su Chen was going against them. There was naturally no need to spare people who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

The group headed straight for the small island where the Lin Family was located. Looking from afar, there was still a barrier blocking the path of outsiders, making it impossible to see the scenery inside.

Su Chen stood outside the barrier with no extra expression on his face, simply saying to Yi Zhuyue, "Break it for me."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhuyue did not hesitate to unleash her Spiritual Power. The pressure of a Half-step Great Emperor was nothing to trifle with.

This barrier could only withstand attacks from a Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm expert, but Yi Zhuyue had far surpassed the Quasi-Emperor Peak. Feeling she was too slow, Xiaoxian and Lv Luo also assisted.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the barrier instantly disintegrated, turning into tiny specks of debris.

Those originally in the Lin Family also sensed such a huge commotion; after all, the barrier was the fundamental guarantee of their survival.

Lin Zhengnan was the first to notice the anomaly here. He subconsciously thought it was another sect coming to launch a sneak attack, but then he thought it impossible.

After all, his Protective Sect Array could withstand a full-strength blow from a Quasi-Emperor Peak. Even if other sects wanted to attack this place, they wouldn't let someone of such a realm attack with full force, and with such fanfare at that.

Even if the barrier were broken, they would have ways to deal with it, making it simply not worth the loss.

Lin Zhengnan immediately gathered his disciples and rushed toward the barrier first.

A crowd of people swarmed to the barrier, only to see the shadows of a few people. Because the distance was too great, they could not see their faces clearly.

Lin Zhengnan looked for a long time without seeing anyone familiar, but seeing there were only a few people, he couldn't help but feel a bit relieved.

Even if they broke the barrier, so what? They must have exhausted their Spiritual Power and would have no strength to fight back.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhengnan's expression couldn't help but become a bit more rampant.

"Where did you greenhorns come from, daring to come to my Lin Family with such fanfare? Do you not want to live? This old man advises you to surrender immediately, otherwise, don't blame this old man for being impolite!"

Lin Zhengnan spoke with a full, resonant voice, as if he were certain they would be frightened by it.

After all, he was now an expert at the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm, and behind him followed four Protectors at the Quasi-Emperor realm, two of whom had already reached the Quasi-Emperor Peak, while the others, though not at the peak, were already at the mid-stage.

And the group opposite didn't look like many people. Not to mention how much they had consumed breaking the protective array, they held the advantage in numbers alone.

Seeing that Lin Zhengnan had finally appeared, Su Chen couldn't help but tilt his head. Hearing his extremely rampant words, he couldn't help but laugh softly.

"You say you want this Young Master to surrender? Who gave you the gall?"

Su Chen said with a half-smile.

The distance was great, but the voice clearly reached Lin Zhengnan's ears.

The voice sounded very familiar, and Lin Zhengnan couldn't help but knit his brows, a bad premonition instantly rising in his heart. (End of chapter)
