Chapter 699: Chapter 699: Scared Out of One’s Wits

A few hours after Xia Jiuling made that bold proclamation, Lin Dong arrived at the Xia family.

He came alone, to visit.

"Master Lin of Jiangnan is here to visit Xia Jiuling, to borrow two items from him!"

These words were formed by condensing inner Qi into sound waves, which were transmitted directly into the Xia Mansion.

As one of the Four Great families in Jiangbei, the Xia family’s mansion was naturally spacious and luxurious.

Though not as expansive as the Chen family’s thousand-acre estate in the city center, it was still one of the top residences in Jiangbei.

Their mansion was no less impressive than the Governor’s mansion.

Inside lived about five to six hundred people. In addition to the Xia family’s direct line, there were also side branches, relatives, and many clients, servants.

Xia Jiuling was at home at the moment.

The two Wushu Experts guarding the door responded to Lin Dong.

The two gatekeepers, both Martial Arts Masters!

A Martial Arts Master, in a county town like Shi County, could dominate and reign supreme. But in the Xia family of the Four Great families in Jiangnan, they were just gatekeepers.

Of the two, one said, "What master not master, no respect for seniors and juniors, our family head is not someone you can meet just because you want to!"

Both of them hadn’t yet realized that Master Lin referred to in Lin Dong’s words was a Martial Arts Master with the surname Lin, not Chen.

The other said even more fiercely, "Get lost, or I’ll directly break your legs... Ah!!!"

However, he couldn’t finish his sentence before he let out a scream.

To his horror, he found that his body felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on it, causing extreme pain.

Looking up, he saw that the Master Lin in front of him had actually condensed a giant Inner Qi Shadow Hand that was pressing down on his shoulder.

With a scream, he felt unbearable pain throughout his body, as if it was being inflated, swelling uncomfortably.

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, an explosive sound came from his body. His body burst due to the immense pressure, and he died.

This scene stunned the other gatekeeper beside him.

Shocked, he looked at Lin Dong and said, "This is the skill of Internal Qi Transformation, are you... are you a Sect Master?"

"Who exactly are you?"

"Didn’t I say, I am Master Lin of Jiangnan. I’m here for Xia Jiuling!" Lin Dong said, showing his impatience.

Suddenly, the gatekeeper realized.

"You... you are actually that... that Master Lin!!!"

"Oh God, I’ll go notify the family head right away. Please wait a moment..."

He slapped his horse and twisted his head, rushing into the Xia Mansion as if flying.

Soon, he arrived at the main building of the Xia Mansion and cried out in a panic, "Family head, something terrible has happened, something terrible!"

Xia Jiuling had just returned not long ago.

He had gone out on a trip specifically to the Martial Arts Arbitration, at that official place in the Martial Arts World, where he fiercely scolded the King of Jiangbei.

Now, seeing the flustered state of the gatekeeper, he asked, "What’s all the fuss about?"

Because the main building of the Xia family was built with full security in mind, using the world’s hardest stone material, it was top-notch in terms of sound insulation and defense.

Therefore, when Lin Dong used inner Qi Voice Transmission at the door just now, no sound was heard inside the main building of the Xia family.

The gatekeeper hastily replied, "Family head, it’s terrible. That Master Lin from Jiangnan has come to our door."

"He says he wants to borrow two items from the family head! My partner has been killed by him for speaking arrogantly."

"He’s too fierce and terrifying!"

Hearing this, Xia Jiuling was startled, and his expression turned unpredictable.

To say he wasn’t afraid would be a lie.

Although he was known as one of the three Sect Masters of Jiangbei, alongside the King of Jiangbei and Chen Yingzheng, his strength was actually the least of the three.

And that Master Lin had even killed a Half-Step Earth Realm powerhouse. How could he not be afraid?

He had dared to publicly scold the King of Jiangbei and vowed to take Master Lin’s head to pay respects to his son because he thought the Chen family annual meeting was approaching, and Master Lin should be preparing for that event rather than paying him any attention, right?

But now, Master Lin had actually made a visit.

"Why would this formidable being not prepare for the Chen family annual meeting on the eight day and instead come looking for me?"

He frowned and paced, feeling very uneasy.

Then another person hurriedly entered.

"Family head, it’s bad. A young martial artist claiming to be Master Chen of Jiangnan has directly forced his way into our Xia Estate. All the guards who tried to stop him have been killed!"

"Even Master Hu couldn’t stand against him. He was killed with a single palm strike!"

Hearing this, Xia Jiuling felt even more uneasy, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Master Hu was a Sect Master guest of his mansion. There were just five Sect Masters in his mansion altogether, and he had gone to great lengths to secure the services of Master Hu. He never expected him to be killed with a single strike by the other party.

"Master Lin is too fierce. Even though I am at the peak of being an Energy Conversion Master, I’m afraid I wouldn’t withstand three moves from him. I’d better run now, head for the Chen family, maybe I can save my life!"

Thinking this, he hurriedly said, "Quick, go out! Ask the other four Sect Masters, Master Liu, Master Chen, Master Wang, and Master Huang, to stop him!"

He planned to use the remaining four Sect Master guests in his mansion to delay Lin Dong, while he himself would escape.

"Yes!" The two hurriedly complied with the order.

After they left the main building, Xia Jiuling himself hurriedly fled.

He headed to the backyard, planning to escape from the Xia estate through the secret path in the backyard.

His escape could be described as utterly disgraceful.
