Chapter 299: Chapter 319: Who Said I Killed Your Father? _1

"Yes."

Lin Chen stared at Chu Xuankong’s face, sneered: "Now you know why I want to go against the Chu Family, right?"

Chu Xuankong’s expression suddenly became clear: "You want to avenge your father?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, you killed my father, so naturally I will make you pay!"

Lin Chen wasn’t sure if Chu Xuankong really killed his father, but there was no harm in accusing him first.

If he had really killed his father, he would naturally think that he knew the truth and wouldn’t deny it. If he didn’t, then he would be eager to clear his name and hope to escape.

Chu Xuankong was stunned for a moment: "Who said I killed your father?"

A hint of joy surged in Lin Chen’s heart. Chu Xuankong seemed genuinely shocked at the accusation.

Lin Chen sneered: "If you want no one to know, you must not do it yourself. You think no one knows, but someone saw the whole process in secret..."

Chu Xuankong angrily said: "Who said it? Let him come and confront me. The Chu Family has already ended up like this. If it were really me who killed him, I would admit it. But I don’t accept this slander – was it Yue Yu Sect’s Gao Zhengqiu who said it?"

Yue Yu Sect’s Gao Zhengqiu?

Lin Chen kept his composure, sneering, "What, trying to pass the buck?"

"I’m not passing any damn buck!"

Chu Xuankong angrily said: "I know I won’t survive today, and my strength won’t be preserved either. But I’m not afraid. If I had really killed Lin Yuan, I would only feel it’s karma now, or perhaps regret not cutting the grass and removing the roots. But I definitely didn’t kill your father. I’m not carrying that blame."

Chu Xuankong reluctantly said: "The Heaven Opening Jade was originally something that our five families obtained, and it had nothing to do with your father. Your father suddenly appeared and brought a bet, saying he wanted to join our fight. According to our rules, we were greedy for the bet your father brought out and thought that your father, being young, wouldn’t be too strong, so we agreed to his request."

"We underestimated your father. He was very strong, and successively defeated the experts of our five families. We didn’t want him to take the Heaven Opening Jade, so we broke the contract and didn’t acknowledge it. We thought that with the five families’ experts present, he wouldn’t dare make a move. But unexpectedly, he went ahead and forcefully took the Heaven Opening Jade!"

"We had a big battle, and many of us were killed or injured. At this point, it was no longer just about the Heaven Opening Jade. It was a vendetta. Your father took the Heaven Opening Jade and broke free, and we pursued him. On the way, your father laid traps, and we had to split our forces to chase."

"I was with Yue Yu Sect’s Gao Zhengqiu, and we caught up with your father and fought again. Your father was injured and couldn’t beat us, so he was severely injured again, and he jumped into the lake behind Mount Jiuhua. We had no way of knowing which direction he fled, so Gao Zhengqiu and I each went down the hillside from the top of the mountain to chase."

"I chased to the left at first, but found nothing and returned, heading to the right. However, I couldn’t find your father after searching for some time, nor could I find Gao Zhengqiu. When I returned, I never saw him, and no one else from the Moon Rain Sect noticed."

"It wasn’t until the next day that I managed to contact Gao Zhengqiu. He told me he hadn’t caught up with your father, and he lost his phone in the lake, so he was out of contact that day. But if someone found your father, it could only be Gao Zhengqiu."

"Gao Zhengqiu’s disappearance that day was suspicious, and the hurried departure of the Moon Rain Sect was also strange. I thought Gao Zhengqiu lied to me, but he said I was the one lying. In the end, there was no evidence, so the matter was dropped. If you say someone saw me kill your father, it could only be Gao Zhengqiu, because he fabricated it and wants to pass the blame."

Lin Chen didn’t answer but asked, "After that day, have you never heard any news about my father?"

Chu Xuankong shook his head: "No, I have always suspected that Gao Zhengqiu killed your father and took the Heaven Opening Jade, keeping it a secret, but the Heaven Opening Jade is in your hands and not taken by Gao Zhengqiu. As for whether Gao Zhengqiu is telling the truth and what your father encountered afterwards, I have no idea."

Lin Chen nodded, "I will find him and figure this out."

Chu Xuankong’s eyes were hopeful as he looked at Lin Chen: "Since I am not your father’s killer, you and the Chu Family don’t have that much of a grudge..."

Lin Chen looked at Chu Xuankong mockingly: "Chu Tianyu tried to harm me several times; you also attempted to ambush me. At this point, saying there’s no grudge? If you had won and I said there was no grudge between me and the Chu Family, what do you think you would say or do to me?"

Chu Xuankong was speechless, and the last glimmer of hope in his eyes disappeared.

"Alright, winners and losers. Kill me if you want to!"

Lin Chen stared coldly at Chu Xuankong, showing no hesitation as he struck with a punch.
