Chapter 2957: Chapter 2977: Siege! Can You Kill?

"Dao Cang!"

Zhou Tianlin let out a desperate cry and rushed to support Zhou Daocang, who was collapsing towards the ground.

Zhou Daocang’s head hung limply, his eyes devoid of any spirit, filled with despair and unwillingness as he stared at Zhou Tianlin, as if asking him why he hadn’t saved him.

Zhou Daoyuan’s figure appeared outside the hall, and his face turned extremely ugly upon witnessing the scene.

He never imagined that Lin Chen would be so violent, daring to kill someone directly!

Who is this woman, her strength is so formidable!

Even if Zhou Tianlin had just barely reached the rank of Superior Prime Daluo Immortal, and his strength was only considered lower among those at that rank, he was still a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal!

Yet this woman had easily bypassed Zhou Tianlin and effortlessly killed Zhou Daocang!

Zhou Daocang himself was a Daluo Initial Immortal, but in front of this woman, he had no power to fight back at all.

Zhou Daoyuan clenched his teeth and turned to Lin Chen: "Friend Lin, by killing someone so blatantly, aren’t you taking my Zhou Family too lightly?"

Lin Chen spoke calmly: "A person is respected for their extraordinary qualities. The Ancestor of Zhou Family bled and fought on the battlefield to bring glory to the Zhou Family, and I respect that honor. But if that honor has deteriorated, then naturally, I no longer respect it."

"Since I no longer respect him, does it still matter whether I regard him or not?"

Zhou Daoyuan was at a loss for words, as after all, this was all Zhou Daocang’s fault.

If you want to kill someone, naturally, you must be prepared to be killed by someone!

Lin Chen gave Zhou Daoyuan a cupped-fist salute: "Before coming here, I had inquired about the Zhou Family, and the eldest son’s character is indeed praised by everyone. I have offended today, and if there’s an opportunity, I shall invite the eldest son to drink wine as an apology!"

Zhou Daoyuan felt somewhat at a loss; such an incident had never happened before.

Lin Chen was indeed in the right, but he had blatantly killed a Zhou disciple in the Zhou Family, and if Daoyuan simply let him walk away, many people would probably speak ill of him afterwards.

But the person is already dead, and the grudge has settled, so shouldn’t one just let it go when things are looking up?

Should the matter be blown out of proportion, then taken up to the Hall Master, only to be slapped across the face by the Hall Master and given a dressing down before it could be settled?

Just as Zhou Daoyuan was conflicted, Zhou Tianlin had already put down Zhou Daocang’s body and stood up with bloodshot eyes, staring at Lin Chen with hatred: "You think you can just walk away after killing someone!"

Lin Chen, looking at Zhou Tianlin, calmly said: "I am fair in my actions and clear about grievances. Zhou Daocang harmed me, and I killed him, which settles the matter between us. But if you want to take revenge for your son and make a move against me, then that would be another matter..."

"Make a move?"

Zhou Tianlin roared in anger: "Today, I want your life... Where are the Zhou Family’s retainers, not coming out yet!"

Zhou Tianlin’s voice echoed throughout the entire Zhou Family estate, and from behind, five silhouettes flew out swiftly, floating in mid-air, instantly encircling everyone within their range.

Zhou Tianlin pointed at Lin Chen: "This person came to our Zhou Family, killed my son, and treated the Zhou Family as if it were nothing. Kill him, all you retainers!"

Lin Chen let out a cold laugh, and with a sweep of his right hand, the Evil Summoning Banner was already in his grasp.

Just as the five powerhouses in mid-air were about to make a move, Zhou Daoyuan shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The five retainers halted their actions and looked towards Zhou Daoyuan.

Zhou Tianlin angrily shouted: "My son is dead, can’t you see that, what use is the Zhou Family to you, attack, kill him for me!"

Immediately followed by a loud command from Zhou Daoyuan: "Stop! The family head has decreed that while I preside over the War God Mansion, I am in charge of everything here... Do not attack!"

Zhou Tianlin turned his furious gaze to Zhou Daoyuan: "Daoyuan! You watch your Seventh Brother be killed without doing anything? When did our Zhou Family become so weak that we’re bullied at our doorstep and dare not fight back?"

Zhou Daoyuan took a deep breath, stared at Zhou Tianlin, and said solemnly: "Uncle Seventeen, this matter started with Daocang harming someone first, and Friend Lin is justified in his actions. If you make a move now, it will inevitably trigger a major battle, ruining everything here, causing countless deaths and injuries. When the Hall Master demands accountability, who will bear it?"

After a pause, Zhou Daoyuan also asked: "The five retainers are powerful, but do you think they can kill Lin Chen? If they attack, wouldn’t it mean the old grudge has barely settled before a new one arises, and if Uncle Seventeen, you were to be killed now, wouldn’t that be a death in vain?"

Zhou Tianlin’s gaze fell on the Evil Summoning Banner in Lin Chen’s hand, and then to the relaxed, almost amused Zhen Liuxue beside, his enraged mind suddenly sobered up.

Yes, even if the five retainers attacked together, could they kill him?

Lin Chen’s Demon Banner held fifty great demons comparable to Daluo Initial Immortals. If he released them all, the destruction would extend far beyond this area, and who would bear the culpability?

Would the Hall Master side with Lin Chen, the favored hero, or with himself?

Zhou Daoyuan saw Zhou Tianlin calming down and internally sighed with relief.

If a real fight broke out, the consequences would be drastic.

By that time, not only himself, but even the arrival of the Zhou Family head would be nerve-wracking, and it might still end with the Ancestor of Zhou Family having to personally deal with the matter.

How to deal with it?

Begging for mercy by putting one’s pride aside, right?

Even though Lin Chen had killed someone, he was in the right.

If this issue escalated and became public, well-known to everyone, would the outcome not be obvious?
