Chapter 253: Chapter 273: He’s Not Fighting Alone _1

The gaze of the Zuo siblings suddenly changed.

Zuo Yingying exclaimed in shock: "You killed Chu Tianyu’s personal bodyguard?"

Lin Chen nodded: "He tried to kill me back then, but unfortunately he underestimated my strength. Since that was the case, I naturally wouldn’t show any mercy to him."

Zuo Lin said in surprise: "The Chu Family didn’t retaliate afterward?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Barefoot people aren’t afraid of those wearing shoes. The Chu Family has a massive enterprise, while I’m just one person. If they aren’t certain they can kill me, it wouldn’t be wise to act rashly and provoke my revenge, which they might not be able to bear."

As the heir of the Zuo Family, Zuo Lin naturally had a deep understanding of the balance of power and quickly grasped the key point: "Are you a Gang Qi Realm Master?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

A shocked expression appeared on Zuo Lin’s face, while Zuo Yingying’s mouth hung open slightly. Both of them were cultivators. Although Zuo Yingying was less powerful, they both knew very well what it meant for a 27 or 28-year-old to be a young Grandmaster.

Genius!

An absolute genius!

Such a person, if not completely suppressed with absolute certainty, would bring unbearable consequences as retaliation.

Not to mention the formidable strength of a Grandmaster, who killed as casually as eating a meal; even if they didn’t hold a grudge against him now, what could anyone do when he became even more powerful in ten or twenty years and got promoted to a Great Grandmaster?

Wiping out a family entirely wouldn’t be impossible.

It was precisely because of such concerns that the Chu Family hadn’t taken any action against Lin Chen so far.

This, of course, didn’t mean that the Chu Family had compromised. They were just waiting for a one-shot kill opportunity. However, in the Linhai territory, only the Zhu Family, ranked first among the Eight Great Families, had a surviving Great Grandmaster. The other seven great families had varying numbers of Grandmasters, but none had a Great Grandmaster.

Zuo Lin sighed: "No wonder Mr. Lin is unafraid of the Chu Family. Even they have to tread carefully in the face of a Grandmaster’s might."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "They’re just hesitating to act because they’re looking for opportunities. If they really find one, they’ll strike me with a thunderbolt."

Zuo Lin nodded: "Which sect does Mr. Lin belong to?"

Lin Chen answered frankly: "I don’t have a sect, only a master. Perhaps you’ve heard of him, Xue Kuangren."

Zuo Lin looked surprised and then laughed: "Mr. Lin’s boldness is indeed very similar to Mr. Xue’s. It seems the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree."

After dinner, Lin Chen left without mentioning a word about cooperation.

Zuo Lin watched Lin Chen’s car disappear, then turned to remind Zuo Yingying: "Yingying, Lin Chen is like an extremely sharp sword. If it doesn’t hurt others, it will hurt itself. His battle with the Chu Family is inevitable. I suggest you maintain your distance from Lin Chen to avoid getting too deeply involved."

Zuo Yingying pouted: "Lin Chen isn’t afraid of anything. Why are you? You rejected him, and he didn’t bring up the matter again afterward."

Zuo Lin shook his head: "The Zuo Family has no feud or interest in the Chu Family. It’s better not to interfere. We’ll just watch the situation unfold. Judging by his confident demeanor, maybe he has already found a reliable helper."

Zuo Yingying asked curiously: "Are you guessing?"

Zuo Lin shook his head: "He mentioned it, but only briefly, without any intention of lobbying the Zuo Family. I feel that he doesn’t care much about the Zuo Family’s involvement. It’s probably just because of you that he asked. This is like poking a stick at a tree regardless of whether there are dates on it or not, just in case there’s an accidental harvest."

Zuo Yingying thought for a moment: "Helper? You mean the Wei Family?"

Zuo Lin smiled: "To deal with the Chu Family, Lin Chen must join forces with the Wei Family. Moreover, didn’t he help Xu Bin treat his illness? I think treating the illness was just a pretext, and the real goal was to ally with the Xu Family. The Xu Family and the Chu Family have a lot of business competition, and since he saved Leng Yucheng’s life, there’s a high probability that the Leng Family will also join the Wei Family and Xu Family... "

Zuo Yingying’s eyes widened: "The Xu, Wei, and Leng Families joining hands against the Chu Family?"

Zuo Lin whispered: "It’s just a guess. However, this is definitely the direction Lin Chen will take in forming an alliance. Since he’s sworn not to rest until the Chu Family is defeated, he must find a way to completely bring down the Chu Family. If a war breaks out, it won’t be a small-scale battle. The Chu Family’s business isn’t related to the Zuo Family, and even if we participated, there wouldn’t be much profit to gain. It’s not worth it."

Zuo Yingying’s eyes sparkled: "Lin Chen is incredible! In such a short amount of time, he’s allied with almost half of the Eight Great Families, hasn’t he?"

Zuo Lin smiled: "Such a young Grandmaster has boundless potential, and he’s also a divine doctor. From the perspective of forming relationships, he’s absolutely worth getting to know. Moreover, since he’s able to form alliances, he must have a matching cooperative force in his hand, not relying solely on his own strength."

"Lin Chen’s master, Xue Kuangren, is wild and has offended many sects. But, at the same time, he’s also made many friends who are like true brothers to him. If something really happened and Xue Kuangren called, I estimate a group of Grandmasters would show up to help and fight."

"Although Lin Chen appears to be alone, he’s not actually fighting on his own."

Zuo Yingying said with a smile: "Is this the advantage of having a strong backing?"
