Chapter 2949: Chapter 2969: Let the Zhao family shed the first blood!

Panic flashed through the eyes of the three men, they knew that the situation this time was probably going to be a big deal.

Lin Chen catching Zhao Pingyang was just their guess, after all, given that Lin Chen could command fifty Great Demons, it was hard not to think that way. That’s also why they had no choice but to launch this assassination attempt, hoping to draw a line under the whole affair by killing Lin Chen.

However, they failed.

Zhao Pingyang’s name coming out of Lin Chen’s mouth confirmed their previous guess.

Zhao Pingyang had indeed fallen into Lin Chen’s hands.

The middle-aged man who had previously attempted to assassinate Lin Chen knew this was not something that a few words could smooth over, and he said without hesitation, "Our Zhao family admits defeat, you name your terms, how can we move past this incident!"

"Move past?"

Lin Chen’s face revealed a two-part cold smile, "Your Zhao family is quite resolute in its actions. I hear there are a total of twelve Superior Prime Daluo Immortals in your Zhao family, with only five being of top grade. Excluding Zhao Pingyang, three of you came at once, leaving only one at home. Is that one left at home to guard the household?"

The middle-aged man cautiously replied, "The one at home is Ancestor Zhao, who has long since withdrawn from worldly affairs, content with Closed Door Cultivation, contemplating the Heavenly Dao..."

Lin Chen nodded, "There are twelve Prime Daluo Immortals, so where are the other seven?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Four are at home, two are in the military, and one is working at the War God Mansion."

Lin Chen nodded slightly, and in a calm tone, asked, "How did you find me, who sent you the message?"

There was a moment of obvious hesitation in the man’s eyes before he finally said, "Because of the previous incident, we have been keeping an eye on you. After you left the camp, we followed up..."

"Interesting, even at this point, you are still trying to take full responsibility, prepared to let the Zhao family bear this burden."

Lin Chen’s voice was ice cold, his gaze sharp as a blade as he stared down the middle-aged man, "Can your Zhao family bear this responsibility?"

Lin Chen turned his head, and his eyes suddenly turned into fiery pupils, and crimson flames suddenly burst forth from the limp man who had collapsed on the ground.

Sun Real Fire!

In less than a second, the man was completely enveloped by the Sun Real Fire. The intense Sun Real Fire scorched his body as he struggled violently, screaming, but he could do nothing to stop it.

The middle-aged man’s face changed drastically, showing a look of fear, and he yelled, "Stop, I’ll talk!"

Lin Chen, however, did not respond to him, just quietly watched the raging Sun Real Fire.

Even though the man had reached the status of a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal, with a body that had achieved immortality, severely injured as he was, he couldn’t withstand the Sun Real Fire released by Lin Chen.

The screams quickly diminished as his body and Primordial Spirit were both consumed by the raging Sun Real Fire, reduced to Flying Ashes!

Lin Chen waved his hand, and all of the Sun Real Fire instantly extinguished, as if it had never appeared. The Zhao family man had died a complete death, turned to Ashes to Ashes.

The remaining two were ashen-faced as they looked at Lin Chen, their eyes filled with terror.

They had finally realized that Lin Chen, who seemed harmless on the surface and appeared polite to everyone, was actually cold-hearted and decisive, ruthless and relentless!

Lin Chen shifted his gaze to the middle-aged man and asked again calmly, "How did you find me!"

Fearing the slightest hesitation might lead to his own demise in the intense scrutiny of Lin Chen’s gaze, turning into a mass of fiercely burning Flames, and then to Flying Ashes, the middle-aged man dared not delay his response.

"Zhou Daocang! It was Zhou Daocang who sent the message!"

Anxious to avoid being the first to suffer, the other man hurriedly added, "We knew you had gone to the Spirit Ascension Hall, but no more than that. Some days ago, Zhou Daocang suddenly sent someone with a message, saying you had reached the peak of Low-Grade, and you might leave the military camp to attempt Breaking the Realm, so he ordered us to keep an eye on you."

"In fact, we didn’t know your exact hiding place, as we didn’t dare to conduct a wide search, but we guessed you would leave the camp to Break the Realm and would stay not too far from it, so we sent many people to watch in all directions."

"Previously, when you made progress in Comprehending the Heavenly Dao and triggered the Innate Phenomenon, you were spotted by the disciples of the Zhao family, who then notified us, and we hurried over, taking advantage of your Crossing Tribulation to strike..."

Lin Chen sneered, "Zhou Daocang isn’t afraid of exposing himself this time, giving you direct orders to attack?"

The middle-aged man replied, "The message he sent was spoken, with no written evidence left behind."

Lin Chen nodded, "Zhou Daocang’s account, I’ll settle with him later. Since your Zhao family insists on repeatedly attacking me and threatening my life, then we’ll properly settle this account today!"

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened with terror as he asked, "What exactly do you intend to settle?"

Lin Chen answered calmly, "If no one offends me, I offend no one. If someone offends me, I return it tenfold!"

The man’s face suddenly turned deathly pale, and his voice became piercingly shrill, "What are you going to do!"

Lin Chen said icily, "I’m someone with knees too stiff to bend and a back too straight to bow. Wherever I go, I offend people because there’s always a group that feels superior, as if they were born better than others!"

"In their minds, someone without a background or significant strength like myself should grovel before them, endure their every whim without any resistance, and they even think that it’s an honor for me to be bullied by them."

"Zhou Daocang is like that, Chen Quan is like that, Kong Wenlong is like that, and so is your Zhao family. Since that’s the case, I’ll make everyone open their eyes wide to see how a ’small fry’ like me fights back!"

"The Zhao family has attacked twice now. If that’s the case, let the Zhao family shed the first drop of blood!"

The two Zhao family’s Superior Prime Daluo Immortals turned deathly pale; they understood.

Lin Chen had no intention of compromising; he intended to return tooth for tooth, blood for blood. The things the Zhao family had done to him, he would repay tenfold!

He was going to annihilate the Zhao family!

Lin Chen raised his hand and lightly sealed the two men, then turned to Zhen Liuxue and said, "Senior, I plan to go to the Zhao family, but this matter might not need Senior’s intervention. Please, just cover for me."

Zhen Liuxue smiled faintly, "Alright, then I’ll enjoy the show!"

Lin Chen summoned the Linglong Tower, absorbed Zhen Liuxue and Duan Tian into it, raised the Evil Summoning Banner into the sky where it Covered the sky and the sun, the Flag rolling. Apart from a Black Dragon, all other Great Demons were collected into the flag.

Lin Chen leapt onto the Dragon Head of the Black Dragon, standing atop it, clutching the massive Demon Banner in his left hand, and with a gesture of his right hand, the two Zhao family men were lifted up, lying quietly behind Lin Chen.

He tapped the huge Demon Banner gently on the Dragon’s Head and declared loudly, "Go! Destination, Zhao family!"
