Chapter 2955: Chapter 2975: Whoever Wants My Life, I Will Take Theirs!

Facing Zhou Daoyuan’s inquiry, Zhou Daocang was silent for two seconds before calmly saying, "When one desires to punish, a pretext is never lacking. I did not instruct the Zhao family to kill Lin Chen; this matter is completely unrelated to me."

As soon as Zhou Daocang uttered these words, the three people from the Zhao family on the ground all lifted their heads in grief and anger, glaring at him.

"Seventh Young Master, this matter originated with you; you must stand up for us!"

"Seventh Young Master, do you know that my Zhao family has been implicated and annihilated because of this affair? You must avenge us!"

"If it weren’t for your secret instructions, we would have no enmity with Lin Chen; why would we go against him? You cannot deny your involvement!"

All of the Zhou Family’s faces changed color.

The Zhao family has been annihilated?

Zhou Daoyuan stared at Lin Chen and asked, "Friend Lin has wiped out the Zhao family?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Since they can come and assassinate me without any scruples, I don’t think there is anything wrong with me returning the favor and killing a few of them in return. I suppose nobody will stand up for them and say that I did wrong, will they?"

Zhou Daoyuan frowned, "It’s definitely their fault that the Zhao family acted against you. But your extermination of the Zhao family, wasn’t that a bit too much, after all, there were many innocent people?"

Lin Chenxiao chuckled, "I ’annihilated’ the Zhao family by removing their name from the Cultivation World. Apart from the five Superior Prime Daluo Immortals who knew about and participated in the assassination and had to die, I let the others off by promising that as long as they did not resist, and I could cripple their cultivation, then I would spare their lives."

Zhou Daoyuan’s expression eased slightly, "So, you did not kill them all?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Of course not. Besides a few immortals who were unwilling to have their cultivation wasted and tried to forcefully break through and flee, and whom I wiped out, the rest are all alive and well."

A cold chill filled Zhou Daocang’s heart. Although the Zhao family was not considered a top-tier wealthy family, they had over ten Daluo Initial Immortals. Could they really vanish in the blink of an eye?

Such a ruthless counterstrike!

Zhou Tianlin said coldly, "For cultivators, their strength is more important than life itself. What difference does it make to destroy their cultivation compared to killing them?"

Lin Chen gave Zhou Tianlin a cold look, "What now, you think I’m heartless and brutal? When they made two assassination attempts on my life, they did not hold back at all. Now that it’s their turn to pay the price, they start talking about benevolence, morality?"

Zhou Tianlin had no response.

The Cultivation World is itself a place where the strong prey upon the weak. If Lin Chen’s strength was just a bit weaker, and the Zhao family erased him like dust, who would care, who would stand up for Lin Chen out of justice?

If Lin Chen is stronger and he kills the Zhao family in turn, what’s the problem?

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Zhou Daoyuan and said calmly, "When I saw the Hall Master earlier, he also asked about the conflict at the Military Supply Department..."

The eyes of three people from the Zhou family suddenly widened.

The Hall Master knew about this matter?

Zhou Daocang felt a tingling scalp and a strong sense of regret surged in his heart.

The Hall Master actually values Lin Chen so highly?

Why couldn’t I hold back, why did I have to act?

Wasn’t Chen Quan also humiliated by Lin Chen on the street, yet he managed to bear it?

Why couldn’t I bear it?

Two flashes of tension crossed Zhou Daoyuan’s face, "What did the Hall Master say?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "The Hall Master asked for my thoughts, and I said this was a minor issue, no need for the Hall Master to deal with it personally. However, these people have deep connections; if something else happens later on, without any background, wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage?’

"The Hall Master told me that within the War God Mansion, as long as I am upright and have a firm standing, he would not let me be wronged..."

Zhou Daoyuan’s expression changed slightly, and his gaze became much more serious in an instant.

Zhou Tianlin’s face suddenly changed, and his brows were tightly furrowed, while Zhou Daocang’s face had started to turn pale.

The Hall Master personally said he would not let Lin Chen be wronged?

So now, isn’t Lin Chen being wronged?

Time and again, making meritorious deeds in battles against the Demon Race, yet turning around to be backstabbed by our own, to put it lightly, this would be called a personal grudge, but on a grander scale, it could be labeled as a traitor to the Immortal Realm!

Zhou Daocang’s mind was in turmoil; such things were not uncommon, so why did it just have to be that he kicked an iron plate this time?

Zhou Daoyuan was silent for a few seconds, then asked in a deep voice, "Then, according to Friend Lin’s view, how should this matter be handled?"

Lin Chen turned his head to glance at Zhou Daocang and replied calmly, "I’ve said it, I want justice. Whoever wants my life will have to pay with his own life!"

Zhou Daocang could no longer contain his anger and shouted, "You’re dreaming! Everything is based on what you said, claiming I did it. Bring out the evidence! Without evidence, anything goes, right?"

Lin Chen looked at Zhou Daocang with eyes as if looking at an idiot, "Zhou Daocang, do you think I’m here to play with you, to play a game of finding evidence? You did it, I know it, that’s enough. Evidence, it just doesn’t matter!"

Zhou Daocang felt a chill in his heart, indeed, this is the survival-of-the-fittest Immortal Realm!

It’s not like with ordinary people, who need clear evidence to determine a crime. Among immortals, there is no need for such trouble!

As long as one’s strength is strong enough, if I say the truth is such, it is so, even if it’s not, it still has to be so!

Zhou Daoyuan frowned and said, "Friend Lin, my Zhou Family needs to investigate this matter thoroughly. If what Friend Lin says is true, I shall report to the family head, and we will surely give you an address."

Lin Chen stared at Zhou Daoyuan, "Meaning, you, as the eldest young master, cannot decide on this matter, is that it?"

Zhou Daoyuan responded with a bitter smile, "I’m not the family head. Such a major issue naturally requires the family head to step in and handle, otherwise, how would others be convinced?"

Lin Chen nodded slowly, "I understand, so even though you represent the Zhou Family in presiding over the War God Mansion, you have no authority over my case, and thus my visit today will bear no fruits, correct?"

Zhou Daoyuan replied apologetically, "The incident occurred abruptly, please give me a little time, Friend Lin."

Lin Chen asked, "How long do you need?"

"One week..."

Zhou Daoyuan, observing Lin Chen’s cold face, felt an inexplicable sense of unease, "I will personally verify it. Three days, the Zhou Family will definitely give Friend Lin a reply in Three Days."

Lin Chen nodded, "Three Days, right? Can do, then please accompany me for a trip, Seventh Young Master!"

Zhou Daoyuan furrowed his brows, "Friend Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Chen sneered and pointed to the Three People on the ground, "The witnesses are all here, it’s crystal clear, yet you need a few days to handle it. Although I understand your so-called procedure, in a few days, even if you finish verifying the facts, will Zhou Daocang still be here waiting for his death?"

"Will his father, his mother, his elders, watch him die?"

"Will the reply I get be that after verification, the facts were confirmed, but Zhou Daocang has disappeared without a trace, and with profound apologies, compensation will have to be made with something else..."

"Eldest Young Master, tell me, will the situation I described become reality, do you dare to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath that Three Days later, Zhou Daocang will still appear before me in all honesty?"
