Chapter 531: Chapter 551: Your Decision Seems Lacking in Consideration _1

"Lin Chen, the Five Dragons Sect is still issuing a Five Dragon Order manhunt for you, yet you brazenly walk into the Liu Family. Aren’t you afraid?"

Liu Neng asked calmly, but his mind was already scheming furiously.

By capturing Lin Chen and turning him over to the Five Dragons Sect, he could gain their protection. Using Lin Chen as bait, he could draw out Chu Jiaxue. Guo Tang was powerful, and there were many Innate Grandmasters in the Five Dragons Sect; killing Chu Jiaxue would be an easy task!

Chu Jiaxue had killed two of Liu Family’s Ancestral Masters, plunging the family into its current embarrassment. It was impossible to believe the Liu Family didn’t harbor resentment and a desire for revenge.

Before, they had no way to retaliate, but now it seemed as if the opportunity had presented itself.

Liu Neng didn’t know about the battle that had taken place on Jianyun Mountain involving the Five Dragons Sect. Just like the other sects in Xijing, they didn’t know that two of the Liu Family’s Innate Ancestral Masters had been killed. Such matters would be kept under wraps by the sect.

Why not take advantage of this opportunity, with the dual benefits of gaining the Five Dragons Sect’s protection and taking revenge?

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "That’s a matter between me and the Five Dragons Sect, and it has nothing to do with the Liu Family. Could the Liu Family be coveting the Five Dragon Order rewards?"

Lin Chen only wanted to kill Chu Tianyu and had no desire for an all-out war with the Liu Family; such a conflict would be pointless. Therefore, he adopted a amicable attitude.

Liu Neng smiled lightly, "Of course not, I’m just curious... I know about the grudge between you and Chu Tianyu. Naturally, I wouldn’t wage war with you over a mere son-in-law. However, I have a question: why didn’t your wife, Chu Tianyu’s cousin Chu Jiaxue, come with you? She is supposed to be the one who hates Chu Tianyu the most, isn’t she?"

Lin Chen was taken aback; the Liu Family knew about Chu Jiaxue too?

Word spread so fast!

Lin Chen didn’t think too much about it, responding indifferently, "She didn’t want to come and told me to handle it."

A cold glint flickered in Liu Neng’s eyes, and a subtle change came over the faces of everyone in the room.

Lies!

Chu Jiaxue had just come to kill people the day before, so how could she let Lin Chen come here and negotiate in such a polite manner?

After some consideration, Liu Neng decided to take a risk; for the Liu Family, which was desperately searching for a powerful backing, this seemed like the best opportunity.

After all, the Five Dragons Sect was only 30 miles away, reachable in half an hour. What could go wrong in that time?

With so many Grandmasters in the room, capturing Lin Chen should be a sure thing, right?

"Alright, you wait here. I’ll make arrangements. My daughter is still here; I need to send her away first... please understand."

Lin Chen smiled, "Alright."

Lin Chen didn’t suspect anything; after all, dragging the entire Liu Family into the fray over a trivial matter like Chu Tianyu wouldn’t make sense.

Powerful families may be ruthless, but they are also cold-blooded.

Liu Neng went upstairs and returned about five minutes later, his face subtly revealing suppressed excitement.

Instead of calling Guo Tang, he had contacted another Innate Grandmaster, Qin He, who readily agreed to Liu Neng’s request upon hearing that the Liu Family could capture Lin Chen.

Protect the Liu Family.

Using Lin Chen as bait, kill Chu Jiaxue!

Liu Neng was surprised because when he mentioned the plan to use Lin Chen to kill Chu Jiaxue, Qin He seemed very proactive in agreeing to the plan, even displaying a hint of excitement.

Though puzzled, Liu Neng was ultimately satisfied with the outcome; he couldn’t ask for a better deal. Naturally, he didn’t dwell on the matter further.

With the Five Dragons Sect’s protection, the Liu Family would face no more concerns!

The gazes of all the Grandmasters and Masters in the room converged on Liu Neng’s face, awaiting his answer.

Liu Neng nodded firmly, "They’ve all agreed... surround him now!"

Figures flashed, and the Grandmasters instantly encircled Lin Chen, covering every direction, blocking any possible escape routes.

Lin Chen furrowed his brows but remained calm, "Patriarch Liu, what is the meaning of this?"

Liu Neng sneered, "Perhaps you haven’t met Chu Jiaxue in person, have you?"

Lin Chen asked calmly, "Why do you say that?"

Liu Neng said coldly, "Yesterday, Chu Jiaxue came to the Liu Family and killed two of our Innate Ancestral Masters. She then killed Chu Tianyu and left arrogantly. Today, you come knocking on our door, claiming to settle a personal feud with Chu Tianyu, and you even said Chu Jiaxue knew of your arrival and let you handle it..."

Lin Chen was stunned; Chu Jiaxue had come to the Liu Family yesterday?

She had killed two Innate Ancestral Masters and Chu Tianyu as well?

That was a little too intense.

Lin Chen quickly understood the circumstances and laughed, "So that’s how it is. We must have missed each other. Was it Guo Tang who you called earlier?"

Coldly laughing, Liu Neng revealed, "The Five Dragons Sect has agreed: if we capture you and take you to them, they will protect the Liu Family. At the same time, by using you as bait, they will help us kill Chu Jiaxue. She killed two of our Ancestral Masters, and this grudge must be avenged!"

Lin Chen laughed, "Indeed, it’s a life-and-death grudge. I can understand the desire for revenge, but your decisions seem a bit hasty."
