There were very few passers-by on the street outside the mansion. The gate of the mansion was closed, with no door plaque and no guards guarding it. The front door of the mansion was covered with vertical knife marks, obviously after a fierce fight.
now!
A figure in gray clothes and a bamboo hat stood quietly in front of the Lin Mansion with a solemn expression.
Yes, this person is none other than Lin Chen.
Ever since Lin Chen entered Tianfeng City, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Because the city guards rarely moved around, and their strength was obviously greatly reduced. They behaved in a sloppy manner. They seemed to have lost a battle and looked depressed. They just came and went.
The city guards were also lazy and ignored the passers-by who came in and out.
"It's only been more than a month, can the Liu family be unable to hold back anymore?" Lin Chen secretly thought, a little annoyed and uneasy.
Thinking about it, the Liu family suffered heavy losses and the head of the family died tragically. As the elder of the Shadow Clan, Liu He was so powerful and powerful, how could he let the Lin family go so easily? Even if he did not dare to deal with the Lin family in a big way, he would at least secretly create difficulties.
Can't help!
Lin Chen approached the door of the mansion and knocked on the door.
for a long time!
A gap was slightly revealed in the closed door, and an eye was revealed. He glanced at Lin Chen secretly like a thief. Seeing his attire, he was extremely unfamiliar, especially Lin Chen's cold face, which frightened him immediately.
Close the door.
"Bastard! Are you blind? Take a good look at who I am!" Lin Chen immediately closed the door of the house with a palm of his hand.
The man was startled, and after taking a closer look at Lin Chen, he recognized him and exclaimed excitedly: "Young Master!? Is it really the Young Master!? Great! Young Master, you are finally back!"
"Sneaky, why don't you open the door for me quickly? Do you want to make it difficult for me, the young master, to enter the house?" Lin Chen scolded, and his anger became more intense.
"Yes, yes, the young one is blind and does not recognize the young master's return." The Lin family guard opened the door tremblingly. When Lin Chen entered the door, he looked around outside the door in fear and vigilance.
He immediately closed the door of the house and looked like he was in a false alarm.
Lin Chen's face immediately darkened, and unknown anger welled up, and he snorted coldly: "Bastard! I have to sneak around whenever I go home. If you don't explain clearly, I will punish you immediately!"
"Young Master, please calm down. I am also following orders."
"Whose order is it from?"
"It was discussed by all the elders together."
"Are you kidding me? Are the elders confused?"
Lin Chen was angry, grabbed the Lin Jiawei by the hand, and said angrily: "Then stop talking nonsense to me now! Tell me carefully, what happened during the time I was away from the Lin Mansion?"
"Yes, some time ago, a mysterious swordsman suddenly came to our Tianfeng City. He called himself the Three Swordsmen. For this reason, he came to provoke our Lin Mansion, injured our guards, and broke our Lin Mansion's plaque. The elders all
They were injured in the battle, especially the elder. His arm was broken by the Jue San Dao, and his vitality was severely damaged." As Lin Jiawei spoke, his anger couldn't help but rise, and he said with gritted teeth: "What's even more annoying is that this time
He is extremely arrogant and talks wildly. If we, the people in the Lin family, dare to step out of the house, our hands and feet will be cut off!"
"Swordsman? Three swordsmen?" Lin Chen frowned and locked eyes.
"Yes, there were several disciples of the Lin family who came back before, but their hands and feet were broken. The elders had no choice but to unanimously decide to stay behind closed doors. At the same time, they summoned the disciples who were practicing outside. There was nothing special to do.
You are not allowed to return to the house at will, haven't you received some news, young master?" The Lin family guard said tremblingly.
"Why don't you shut up the rumors! This madman has bullied us into the Lin Mansion! As the young master of the Lin Mansion, I have to dare not go home!" Lin Chen was extremely angry. It was rare for him to go home, and such a hateful thing happened.
He said: "Go! Call some elders over. I will wait in the lobby to discuss this matter!"
"Yes, yes, I will report it right now." Lin Jiawei was dripping with cold sweat and retreated respectfully.
Soon!
Lin Chen looked gloomy and walked towards the lobby.
From time to time!
Lin Chen took the main seat in the lobby and waited solemnly.
After a long time, a familiar voice came: "Xiaochen, are you really back?"
Following the sound, they saw Lin Yuan and several elders hurriedly walking into the lobby with happy faces. It was obvious that Lin Yuan's left arm and sleeves were swaying lightly and empty.
Lin Chen's face turned to anger, and he asked directly: "Old man Yuan, why are you so careless?"
"My injury is not a problem, but I have told the outside world before that the cultivating disciples outside the mansion are not allowed to return to the mansion on their own. I originally wanted to inform the young master, but we have never been able to receive news from you." Lin Yuan sighed.
.
For some reason, when he saw Lin Yuan becoming cowardly and fearful, he couldn't help but get angry. He said with a stern face: "Let's leave this matter aside for now. I want to ask, what is the origin of this Jue San Dao? With me
What's the grudge against the Lin family?"
"Alas, there is no grudge. It's my incompetence and I feel ashamed of Lin Mansion." Lin Yuan sighed bitterly and said: "As for this Juesan Swordsman, I heard that he is a swordsman from a foreign land. For some reason, after he came to our Tianfeng City,
Then he arrogantly challenged the people in my Lin family. Although we wanted to teach the madman a lesson, we were all defeated due to our lack of strength. Even with my level 6 true martial arts cultivation, I couldn't match the power of his sword."
"This madman is extremely arrogant and domineering. He arrogantly claimed that three swords can kill a person. When we fought, we almost lost our lives." Second Elder Lin Kui followed, with an angry look on his face.
"Well, if the head of the family is here, he can teach this bold man a lesson." Lin Jue, the fourth elder, sighed.
"There is no injustice, there must be a reason for everything." Lin Chen said in a deep voice.
"We in the Lin Mansion have always kept to ourselves and never caused trouble to the outside world. If we think about it carefully, only the Liu Mansion and my Lin Mansion are in the same situation. And this person deliberately concealed his identity and only seriously injured us and did not cause our death. Extremely
It's suspicious, it's very likely that he is someone sent here by Liu He." Lin Yuan said in a serious tone: "After all, only Liu He has the power and connections."
"I didn't expect Liu Mansion would be so honest, but I didn't expect it would come so quickly." Lin Chen was very annoyed and asked again: "Old Yuan, judging from your fight with that madman, can you find out?
How false is it?"
"It's hard to predict the reality. I think he should have the ability of the seventh level of true martial arts, or even higher." Lin Yuan said solemnly: "But this person is not completely superior in cultivation, but this madman has exquisite sword skills, a sharp sword, and defensive skills.
Unstoppable. Although he is a bit arrogant, this person has profound sword skills and is in the true martial arts realm. He is indeed capable of killing with three swords."
"Swift sword?" Lin Chen smiled, can it be faster than his own sword?
"Xiao Chen, if this madman is really someone secretly sent by Liu He, if he knew that you were returning home, he would definitely make things difficult for you." Lin Yuan said with a stern face: "Before the news of your return home has spread.
, you should leave Lin Mansion quickly, it’s still too late to leave now, if it’s too late, it will be troublesome.”
"Old man, when the Liu Mansion's army was approaching, our Lin Mansion was in danger, but you didn't show the slightest fear and fought to the death to meet the enemy." Lin Chen said solemnly: "Now, a mere foreign fanatic has completely defeated your power.
We are so angry that we are so scared that we can't even leave the house. Have we in the Lin family really let others bully us?"
"I···"
Lin Yuan hesitated to speak. Everyone was blushing and couldn't explain why. It was indeed a great shame for a dignified elder of the mansion to be forced to stay in seclusion by a junior. Now even the people in the city are laughing at the Lin mansion.
"If you offend my Lin Mansion, you will be punished no matter how far away you are!" Lin Chen stood up and said arrogantly: "You guys should let the news out about my return to the Mansion right now. I want to get to know this Jue San Dao well. Look at him.
Is it true that you have three heads and six arms, which makes you helpless and greedy for life?"
"This..." Lin Yuan and the others looked at each other.
Seeing Lin Yuan and the others looking frightened and cowardly, Lin Chen got angry and shouted: "The soul of Lin Mansion cannot be defeated, the soul of Lin Mansion cannot be destroyed! As the young master of Lin Mansion now, I should set an example and immediately
Let the news out, and I will let this madman understand it, and let the people in the city know that our Lin Mansion will never allow outsiders to bully us, and we are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
These sentences are very resounding, as if the anger of fighting a powerful enemy that day has returned.
"Yes!~"
Lin Yuan and the others looked greatly refreshed, turned around and retreated. Like a raging fire, they ordered everyone in the Lin Mansion to reopen the door of the Lin Mansion and spread the news of Lin Chen's return to the whole city quickly.
Tianfeng City is not big, so the news spread quickly.
"Good news! Good news! I heard that the young master of Lin Mansion, Lin Chen, is back!"
"Lin Chen? What kind of good news is this?"
"I just heard that Lin Chen came back this time and spoke generously to represent the entire Lin family to fight against that swordsman!"
"Lin Chen's strength has indeed improved a lot. It is said that Tianfeng City suffered a disaster that day, but in the end it was Lin Chen who turned the tide and saved the Lin Mansion from crisis."
"So what? Now all the elders of the Lin Mansion have been defeated, and they can't even catch the swordsman's sword. Now that it's only been a month, how strong can Lin Chen be?"
"This battle is related to the honor and disgrace of the Lin Mansion. Regardless of whether Lin Chen can defeat the swordsman, this battle is definitely exciting! I don't care anymore. I'm rushing to the Lin Mansion now. Maybe I can get a good position.
"
······
There were lively discussions everywhere in the city, in the streets and alleys. After hearing the news, the citizens of the city gathered in Lin Mansion almost in large numbers. The Lin Mansion, which had been calm for a long time, suddenly became lively and crowded.
It's no exaggeration either.
at the same time!
In Zui Feng Tower, a young man in white clothes, with a face as black as black, a face as carved as a knife, a stern look, sharp eyes, a high nose, and thin lips, sits alone on the balcony, drinking and enjoying himself.
"Xiao Er!" the young man in white called.
"Come on, sir, what do you want me to do?" A restaurant waiter greeted me with a smile.
"Why is your Zuifeng Tower so quiet today?" the young man in white asked.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. I heard that the young master of the Lin Mansion, Lin Chen, returned today and learned about the changes in the manor, so I let the news out. I heard that he was going to challenge the mysterious swordsman." The restaurant waiter said with a smile.
"Lin Chen?" The young man in white cracked the wine glass in his hand and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Haha, you are going to hit the knife edge yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Say it!
The young man in white left a piece of silver and stood up to leave.
