Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229: Redeeming People

Lin Chen was actually very puzzled internally. Such a big event happened, yet the Creation Realm experts of the Yang and Su families didn’t come out to stop it.

However, when Lin Chen used the Abyssal Eye, he discovered the reason why the Creation Realm experts from both families hadn’t stepped out.

It turned out that several powerful auras had locked onto the experts of both families, making them unable to act.

Lin Chen secretly speculated that this was probably someone of high status from the Yunlong Heavenly Palace stepping in, thinking that the matters of the younger generation should be resolved by Lin Chen and others of the same generation.

However, for this reason, Lin Chen had no hesitation in taking action against the Zhang family.

After all, if the experts of the Yang and Su families couldn’t act, then neither could the experts of the Zhang family.

Just a while after the woman in the yellow dress left, she returned with the people of the Zhang family.

Among those who came was an elder. Lin Chen glanced over and immediately saw that the elder was indeed a Creation Realm expert.

Despite facing a Creation Realm expert, Lin Chen showed no sign of fear.

"It seems you’ve come to retrieve someone. I assume you’ve brought the spirit stones with you, haven’t you?"

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on the gray-clad elder, and he immediately spoke.

The gray-clad elder had an extremely ugly expression upon hearing Lin Chen’s words and immediately looked towards Zhang Xiu and Zhang Chaosong.

"A bunch of useless people."

The gray-clad elder said coldly.

Being scolded by the gray-clad elder, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Chaosong, and the other members of the Zhang family felt endless shame. After all, having their clothes stripped by Lin Chen, they had not only lost face themselves but also disgraced the Zhang family.

"Boy, do you really want to take things this far?"

The gaze of the gray-clad elder fell on Lin Chen, speaking with a cold tone.

If it weren’t for the fact this place was under the jurisdiction of the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, and he was locked by the aura of a Yunlong Heavenly Palace expert as soon as he stepped in, he might have immediately acted to kill him.

Nevertheless, even if he couldn’t directly attack Lin Chen, he could still release a powerful aura to oppress Lin Chen.

However, facing this oppressive force, Lin Chen had a faint smile on his lips and simply ignored it. After all, this level of pressure was incomparable to the oppressive force in the unfamiliar world where Lin Chen had been teleported to.

"If you don’t want to exchange them, you can just leave, and I’ll take them for a stroll in Yunlong City, after which I’ll naturally let them go."

"But if the elder wants to exchange, give me some Top Grade Spirit Stones; ten thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones per person, non-negotiable. How you choose is up to you."

Lin Chen looked at the gray-clad elder and spoke indifferently.

He would not be threatened by the experts of the Zhang family, and the elder before him was no pushover either. Although he didn’t directly act upon arrival, he released an immensely powerful oppressive aura. If Lin Chen’s physical body wasn’t strong, he might have already been seriously injured under such an aura.

Originally, Lin Chen didn’t intend to ask for such a high price, but due to the elder’s methods, Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t let him have it easy.

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, the gray-clad elder’s expression indeed changed drastically.

The price Lin Chen offered was practically robbery.

However, what surprised him the most was Lin Chen remaining unscathed and unaffected under his released immense pressure.

Seeing this, the gray-clad elder was puzzled. How could Lin Chen, at the mere Fifth level of the Nirvana realm, withstand his pressure? Could it be that this youngster had an extraordinary background and held other means?

This might be the person’s trump card; otherwise, how could Zhang Xiu and Zhang Chaosong have stumbled into this youngster’s hands?

"Boy, isn’t the price you’re asking too high?"

The gray-clad elder looked at Lin Chen, speaking with an indifferent tone.

Upon hearing the elder’s words, the people of the Zhang family felt extremely humiliated. At this moment, they were being traded like goods.

All of the Zhang family’s people clenched their fists, looking at Lin Chen with eyes full of killing intent.

Besides Zhang Xiu’s hatred towards Lin Chen, Zhang Chaosong also shared the same hatred. After all, his appearance here was to rescue Zhang Chaosong, thus ending up in such humiliation.

"Exchange or not, it’s up to you. I won’t change the price. If you’re unwilling, you can just turn around and leave now."

Lin Chen looked at the gray-clad elder, shrugged indifferently, and spoke.

This old thing tried to pressure him immediately and wanted him to lower the price. Naturally, Lin Chen wouldn’t comply.

Facing Lin Chen’s unwillingness to compromise, the gray-clad elder’s expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious room at the Yunlong Inn, a white-bearded elder, using his Divine Sense to perceive all this, showed a few looks of appreciation and couldn’t help but stroke his beard.

When Zhang Chaosong and others started causing a disturbance in the inn, he had already noticed. With the appearance of Lin Chen, making the situation escalated further and targeting the people of the Zhang family, he became interested and was very curious about how Lin Chen would handle the subsequent matters.

In fact, the white-bearded elder could have acted to stop this matter long ago.

When the gray-clad elder arrived, he wanted to see what backing Lin Chen had to dare challenge the Zhang family so provocatively.

If Lin Chen lacked ability yet was so arrogant, subjected to the oppressive force of the gray-clad elder, then it would serve him right.

However, Lin Chen actually withstood that immense pressure, which made the gray-clad elder realize that Lin Chen’s arrogance stemmed from some genuine skill.

For this, the white-bearded elder felt quite appreciative.

"Then I’ll ransom those two."

The gray-clad elder glanced at Lin Chen and threw over a Spatial Bag casually. Lin Chen caught it immediately, only to find there were only twenty thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones inside.

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on the other members of the Zhang family, realizing that the gray-clad elder of the Zhang family intended to abandon these martial artists, regardless of their life or death.

After all, the Zhang family’s reputation was already lost, and Zhang Chaosong and Zhang Xiu were from the family’s direct line, so naturally, they needed saving, but the lives of those servants, even if added together, weren’t worth ten thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones, so the gray-clad elder didn’t plan to save them.

But Lin Chen didn’t really plan on killing those guys, keeping people who were of no use to him.

"How about I offer you a discount, old gentleman? For the others, I’ll count a thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones each."

Lin Chen looked at the gray-clad elder, speaking with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, the gray-clad elder looked at Lin Chen twice and immediately threw over another Spatial Bag.

Lin Chen caught it, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Alright, not a penny short. Come again next time."
