Xiaoke had already broken Chi Ze’s ribs.
Then, Lin Xun severed his hands. He was in so much pain that he constantly let out a blood-curdling scream and was on the verge of collapsing.
He madly cursed in his mind. He hated Lin Xun and Xiaoke to the bone and swore to torture the two to death if he survived!
However, when he heard what Lin Xun said, he felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him. Panic and terror replaced the endless hatred and murderous rage in his heart.
He killed around two thousand cultivators sent out by the Chi Clan?
He destroyed six Violet Hero Battleships?
How is that possible?
Chi Ze didn’t believe Lin Xun at first, but he began to panic when he heard that even Chi Cangfeng couldn’t do anything to Lin Xun.
This was because, yesterday, he had heard that Chi Cangfeng ignored the clan’s order to deal with an outsider and had been imprisoned by the influential figures of the Chi Clan.
If what Lin Xun said is true, the outsider whom Chi Cangfeng went to deal with yesterday was Lin Xun!With that thought, Chi Ze felt like his heart had completely collapsed. His face was deathly pale and his eyes were lifeless. He even seemed to have forgotten about his severe injuries.
No wonder that kid is so fearless. It turns out that he’s a fierce character with a remarkable background!
Xiaoke was just as astonished. It turns out that kid has done that much before he came to the Forbidden City?
But why did the Chi Family send people to deal with him?
Why did they let him into the Forbidden City in the end and not retaliate?
Xiaoke knew there had to be a reason.
However, Lin Xun seemed to not notice the change in Chi Ze’s expression and was still smiling. “Of course, you don’t have to believe it. It doesn’t matter anyway. You just need to know that it’s a very simple matter for me to kill you.”
Chi Ze’s expression seemed lifeless and hollow as if all emotion had been stripped from him. It was as though he admitted defeat.
“Of course, since I told you so much, I naturally have no intention of killing you now.”
His sentence completely surprised Xiaoke.
Even Chi Ze couldn’t help quivering with shock, and a glimmer of light flashed in his lifeless eyes as if he had escaped from death.
However, he suddenly found it suspicious. He felt that Lin Xun was deliberately torturing him. He hissed, “Stop playing ticks! Kill me if you dare!”
Lin Xun smiled slightly. Under Chi Ze’s bewildered gaze, he swiftly treated Chi Ze’s hand injury.
He was quick and skilful. He first stopped the bleeding, then cleaned the wound, applied ointment, and wrapped it in cloth.
“You…” Chi Ze was so perplexed that he didn’t know what to say.
“Don’t be moved. I’m only doing this to keep you alive.” Lin Xun smiled. “Because I’m curious as to how your Chi Family will react when you return to them as a cripple. Oh, I heard that the Chi Family gave you the surname Chi, isn’t that right? Then that’s going to be a bit troublesome for you. If they take back the surname and no longer acknowledge you as a part of the clan…”
Before he finished his sentence, Chi Ze felt like his head was about to explode. He understood!
He’s not killing me because he’s kind. He just wants to push me into a situation worse than death!
A crippled person was worthless to the Chi Family. Even if the Chi Family didn’t take back his surname, how would he have the face to continue to live?
After losing his power, he would become a clown for everyone to see. He would only be trampled by countless people if he continued to live!
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he felt. Who is this young man? Why is he so ruthless?
He is simply a demon!
No, even demons aren’t as ruthless as him!
Xiaoke couldn’t help but ask, “Lin Xun, what if you anger...”
“Don’t worry, the Chi Family can come to find me if they want to get revenge.” Lin Xun smiled warmly.
Then, he thought of something and reminded Chi Ze, “Oh, I forgot to tell you that if you want to retaliate, just come to find me on Mind Cleansing Peak, one of the seventy-two peaks of the Mountains of Aristocratic Clans. I have just become the owner there.”
Mountains of Aristocratic Clans!
Mind Cleansing Peak!
Chi Ze felt everything before him had turned gloomy. He wanted to die. It…turns out that guy is a descendant of an aristocratic clan!
No!
Chi Ze suddenly remembered that the Lin Family’s Mind Cleansing Peak had fallen into a state of decline more than ten years ago. The Lin Clan is at most only a lower aristocratic clan now. What does he have to go against the Chi Family?
“Pah! You said so much, but it turns out that you’re just a crook,” Chi Ze coldly sneered.
Lin Xun rose to his feet and said with a smile, “What would I gain from deceiving people like you? You can leave now, but I welcome you to bring the people of the Chi Family to Mind Cleansing Peak for revenge.”
Chi Ze’s face changed indefinitely when he saw Lin Xun speak so confidently. In the end, he gritted his teeth, endured the pain, got up, and tottered away.
Before leaving, he resentfully glanced back at Lin Xun and Xiaoke.
“That guy thinks the Chi Family will help a piece of trash like him get revenge. It’s understandable, people need to have hope in life. Otherwise, it will be no different from death.” Lin Xun sighed.
However, Xiaoke glanced at Lin Xun with a frown. “You are still in the mood to sigh for others?”
“I don’t care if many lice are bothering me, but he dared to harm you, Instructor Xiaoke. I had to make his life worse than death and pay an unbearable price!”
Xiaoke focused her clear eyes on Lin Xun. A strange feeling surfaced in her heart as she stared at the handsome young man whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
Although that kid has changed a lot, he still isn’t bad.
”I forgot something. We should have made Chi Ze clean this place before leaving...”
Lin Xun swept a glance around the courtyard. The courtyard was strewn with corpses and the stench of blood was suffocating.
“There’s no need to clean up. Do you think we can stay here after killing so many people of the Chi Family?”
Xiaoke frowned helplessly. Then, she turned around and ran outside. “I’ll get Spirit Vulture and tell him to leave with us.”
“Leave? Where are we going?”
“After causing such a huge storm, is there still a place for us in the Forbidden City? Of course, we are going to run as far as possible.”
Understanding dawned on Lin Xun. Ultimately, Xiaoke is still worried about retaliation from the Chi Family.
How fearless and heroic was Instructor Xiaoke in Blood Kill Camp?
But in the Forbidden City, she couldn’t do anything to a guy who had been constantly harassing her.
Now, she has just killed a bunch of trash, but she had to leave the Forbidden City...
Lin Xun felt very uncomfortable because he finally understood what the so-called noble aristocratic families meant to ordinary people.
Even Xiaoke had to keep quiet, let alone other people.
If Chi Ze hadn’t relied on the power of the Chi Family, how would he dare to act so unscrupulously and lawlessly given that he was far inferior to Xiaoke in terms of strength?
“Instructor, I have a plan that can allow us to continue to stay in the Forbidden City,” Lin Xun said seriously.
He could tell that Xiaoke was reluctant to leave the city. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have tolerated Chi Ze’s harassment for over half a year.
As he thought, Xiaoke stopped abruptly and turned around. “What plan?”
“Come to Mind Cleansing Peak with me.” Lin Xun drew a deep breath and told her everything about his background and the situation he was facing. He didn’t try to hide anything from her.
After understanding everything, Xiaoke couldn’t help but exclaim, “You’re…a direct descendant of the Lin Family?”
She had also heard of the Lin Family, but she had never imagined that Lin Xun would be connected with such an aristocratic family.
Lin Xun smiled. “I only found out about it yesterday.”
His ordinary and indifferent delivery contained many complicated and inexpressible emotions. Only he would understand the bitterness of his situation.
“In other words, you came to find me to help you?” Xiaoke fixed her eyes on Lin Xun.
Lin Xun said helplessly, “I had no choice. I’m new here and I’m alone. It’s impossible to single-handedly fight against those ruthless, old things.”
He took a deep breath and his eyes flashed with a resolute glint. “So, I have to quickly grow my strength and take advantage of any available resources by any means. Otherwise, it will be difficult to even protect my little life, let alone protect Mind Cleansing Peak.”
Xiaoke fell silent. Then, she calmly looked at Lin Xun and said, “If I anger the Chi Family, I can still run away. But if I jump into your fire pit, I may be completely trapped.”
“Indeed.” Lin Xun smiled wryly.
He suddenly looked dispirited. He realized that he was being too selfish to ask Instructor Xiaoke to come to the Mind Cleansing Peak with him.
If she were to stand on the same side as him, the dangers that she would have to face would be hundreds of times more dangerous than killing trash like Chi Ze!
“Come with me first.”
Xiaoke didn’t refuse but she took Lin Xun out of Spirit Vulture Residence and walked along the streets and alleys for a few minutes. They came to a secluded courtyard and pushed open the door.
The courtyard was quiet and peaceful with an ancient tree standing in the center.
Under the tree sat a middle-aged man in a wheelchair under the tree. A chubby, snowy-white cat was snuggling in his arms.
The middle-aged man had long, gray hair and a pale face to the point of becoming translucent. He seemed to be ill and incredibly frail.
However, he exuded a very tranquil demeanor and his calm and peaceful eyes seemed capable of seeing through everything in the world.
If he wasn’t sitting in a wheelchair with a sickly, pale face, Lin Xun would have thought he was an extraordinarily powerful master living in seclusion!
“Xiaoke, you came.”
The middle-aged man donned a gentle smile. His voice was as low as the morning bell but had a unique charm.
However, he scrunched his brows and looked taken aback when he saw Lin Xun. “This young man is filled with murderous intent and his clothes are stained with blood. Could it be that he killed someone just now?”
Then, he shifted his clear eyes to Xiaoke like he realized something. “If my guess is correct, you were in a fight with Chi Ze?"
Lin Xun trembled inwardly. This middle-aged man has sharp insight.
He was able to determine so many things from just one glance. It’s impossible to do so without a wealth of experience and wisdom!
Lin Xun didn’t dare to underestimate the man anymore. The middle-aged man might be ill, but he was no doubt an extremely powerful existence in the past.
