Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Obstruction

"He is a cherished guest of your Su Family, and when your Su Family speaks on his behalf, what sort of evidence is that?"

"Brother Mu, the matter is clear; the Su Family and this man have conspired against my son. You need not intervene; I will handle it myself."

Tang Jingshan, eager to avenge his son by taking Lin Chen’s life, spoke to Mu Tianshan.

Upon hearing this, Mu Tianshan hesitated. Although Mu Qinghe saw that Tang Tianpeng made the first move, the situation was too complex, and Mu Qinghe did not speak up.

"I was present at the time and saw Tang Tianpeng sneak attack Lin Chen first, which led to Lin Chen killing him in retaliation."

Suddenly, Yang Minghui stepped forward and spoke.

As soon as these words were said, everyone’s gaze fell simultaneously on Yang Minghui.

"Nephew Yang Xian, you must be careful with your words. This matter does not concern your Yang Family; it’s best not to get involved."

Tang Jingshan frowned as he looked at Yang Minghui, instantly releasing a powerful aura towards her.

Buzz—

However, just as the aura was about to reach Yang Minghui, it was neutralized by another powerful aura.

"Old Tang, daring to attack my daughter, do you take me for non-existent?"

Yang Chengguang stood out, his gaze coldly fixed on Tang Jingshan as he spoke.

Yang Chengguang hadn’t expected his daughter, who previously had discord with Lin Chen, would now step forward to speak on his behalf.

"Brother Yang, what do you mean by this? Do you also wish to oppose my Tang Family?"

Tang Jingshan’s gaze coldly fell upon Yang Chengguang as he angrily spoke.

Yang Family stepping forward to speak for Lin Chen was unexpected for Tang Jingshan.

The Su Family alone made it difficult for the Tang Family, but as long as the Su Family remained neutral once the truth was revealed, the Tang Family could find a way to handle them.

Yet now, the Yang Family unexpectedly stepped in to join the fray.

"Humph, Tang Jingshan, you attack my daughter and still question my involvement. Your Tang Family truly acts arrogantly; my Yang Family is not intimidated by you."

Yang Chengguang, while slightly puzzled by his daughter’s decision, as a father, naturally chose to support her.

With Yang Chengguang’s support, Yang Minghui gained confidence and recounted the events in Cave Heaven Stone Mansion.

Upon hearing about their joint effort against the Skeleton Demon, and how Tang Tianpeng sneak attacked Lin Chen with Tang Jingshan’s Life-bound Magic Treasure, people immediately despised him, casting their gaze upon Tang Jingshan with curses for his shamelessness.

Simultaneously, upon listening to Yang Minghui’s recount, the crowd turned their gaze towards Lin Chen, marveling anew at his mysterious methods.

After all, being sneak-attacked by the Soul Shatter Cone yet still able to retaliate seems impossible for a normal person.

It should be known that the Soul Shatter Cone, Tang Jingshan’s Life-bound Magic Treasure, is incredibly powerful, affecting many strong figures previously, yet Lin Chen was unharmed.

Upon hearing the surrounding crowd’s curses, Tang Jingshan’s expression subtly shifted, embarrassed.

"The potency of my Life-bound Magic Treasure is well-known to those present. How could this brat remain unaffected by my magic treasure’s attack?"

"Therefore, Nephew Yang Xian’s words cannot be wholly trusted; who knows if there’s collusion or some deal between you two?"

Tang Jingshan’s gaze fell upon Yang Minghui as he spoke.

This made Yang Minghui both embarrassed and angry; she was merely stating the facts with no arrangement with Lin Chen, as if insinuating there was some secret between them.

"Nephew Mu Xian, you were there at the time. How about you recount the events?"

Tang Jingshan assumed Yang Minghui had a reputation for being captivated by beauty, seeing a beautiful woman beside Lin Chen, perhaps they had struck some agreement, hence he didn’t believe Yang Minghui’s words at all.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qinghe reluctantly stepped forward.

His Mu Family initially wished to stay uninvolved, but now they found themselves unable to avoid it.

"What Brother Yang said earlier was no exaggeration and indeed the truth."

"It was indeed Tang Tianpeng who first used the Soul Shatter Cone to sneak attack Lin Chen and in the end was killed as a result."

Mu Qinghe spoke in a calm and unhurried manner.

Upon these words, Tang Jingshan’s expression turned exceedingly unpleasant.

He hadn’t anticipated everyone supported Lin Chen, which might just be factual; his son first used the Soul Shatter Cone in an ambush yet failed to kill Lin Chen, revealing Lin Chen’s extraordinary nature.

"Brother Yang, since the truth is now clear, what more can you say? Since Nephew Tang Xian sneak attacked and was killed, it’s merely his own doing, a result of his skills being inferior to others."

Mu Tianshan looked at Tang Jingshan as he spoke.

As Martial Artist, there’s no absolute fairness, only strength matters.

Now, if not for Lin Chen’s talent and the mysterious forces behind him, naturally, the three families wouldn’t support Lin Chen.

Upon hearing everyone’s words, Tang Jingshan’s face turned utterly unpleasant.

Originally, he came with Tang Family members to confront Su Family and Lin Chen; now it seemed they were at fault.

"Lin Chen, quickly hand over my Soul Shatter Cone."

Tang Jingshan looked down at Lin Chen from above, coldly speaking.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen waved his hand, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Soul Shatter Cone? What Soul Shatter Cone?"

"Isn’t that just your Life-bound Magic Treasure? You couldn’t find it, so why ask me?"

Lin Chen feigned a confused face as he looked at Tang Jingshan and spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone around felt the reason; wasn’t that Tang Jingshan’s Life-bound Magic Treasure? He couldn’t locate it himself, why ask Lin Chen.

Could it be Lin Chen might have refined it?

Besides, it was Tang Jingshan who sneak-attacked to take Lin Chen’s life, and Lin Chen retaliated, turning it into his trophy, making no sense to hand over.

"You little brat, such a sly mouth! See if I don’t tear you apart today."

Tang Jingshan coldly spoke, and immediately waved a large hand towards Lin Chen.

"Brother Tang, isn’t this a bit excessive?"

"The matter has been explained, yet you still wish to strike, do you consider us non-existent?"

As Tang Jingshan made his move, Mu Tianshan and Su Liuyun both intervened, three powerful forces clashing instantly in the sky.

For Mu Tianshan, this United Competition was held by the Mu Family, if openly allowing the disciple killed at face value during the joint trial, then the Mu Family wouldn’t have a foothold in Tian Que City.
