Chapter 822: 825

Qian Tong had repeatedly schemed against Lin Zhen in secret. Before, Lin Zhen hadn’t had the opportunity to deal with him, but he was always confident enough to believe that Qian Tong’s schemes would not affect him.

Lin Zhen figured that after the grand competition in ten years, he would find an opportunity to finish off Qian Tong.

Unexpectedly, this man, as a Saint Master, actually plotted against his family and almost caused a major disaster.

Lin Zhen could not tolerate him anymore after this incident.

After bidding his family farewell, Lin Zhen left Heavenly Ridge and returned to the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake.

********

Jin Nuo’s Dimensional Universe had been busy these days.

As a Holy Land Resident who had lived for tens of millions of years, Jin Nuo naturally knew countless experts.

In these days, numerous experts had been pleading with Qian Tong through the Dimensional Universe.

“Mr. Jin Nuo, I am the Ancestor Fierce Fire of the Wan Dao Domain, Ahem… Well, the thing is, although the Saint Master Qian Tong of the Qin Kingdom is not great, his elixirs are truly unparalleled. This man mustn’t die! Yes, yes, yes, I’m begging you.”

“The fifth son of Falling Star Lake, Jin Nuo, right? I am Dong Xuan from the Duiliu Realm, we met once before. Today I have no choice but to shamelessly tell you that it is normal for martial artists to have disputes. Even Holy Land Warriors are not untouchable. As a Holy Land Resident, you should not interfere in the disputes among martial artists.”

“Fifth Brother! I am Li Jing, a former disciple of the Heaven Class. Right! Right! Right! How have you been lately, Fifth Brother? I am now on the Endless Battlefield. When I have time, I will come back to visit you… Haha! This time, I have been asked to talk about the matter of Qian Tong. Without hiding from the Fifth Brother, our team really needs some elixirs, especially a few Saint-level ones. With these elixirs, we can take down a Demon Clan stronghold and change the situation on our battlefield! Qian Tong must not die, I plead with you, Fifth Brother.”

“Fifth Brother, I am…”

One after another, the pleas irritated Jin Nuo.

He knew about the incident at Lin Zhen’s home. He knew that sooner or later, Lin Zhen and Qian Tong would have to resolve their dispute.

Jin Nuo was very displeased. Qian Tong was being punished in the Holy Land but he could not keep his peace. Knowing that Lin Zhen was someone he was focusing on nurturing, he dared to act recklessly, and even broke the rules to target Lin Zhen’s family.

For such a person, regardless of whether he was a Saint-Level Alchemist, Jin Nuo had murderous thoughts about him.

But before he could make a decision, that old fox, Qian Tong, had been preparing for a rainy day, soliciting as many people as possible to plead for him.

Among these people were many old acquaintances of Jin Nuo, some were martial artists who had left Falling Star Lake before, some were Jin Nuo’s old friends, and others were strong ones with a huge reputation in dangerous areas like the Endless Battlefield and the Cosmic Forbidden Land.

Even the people Jin Nuo planned to contact in the Endless Star Sea after leaving the Holy Land were there. Jin Nuo had no idea how Qian Tong managed to find so many people.

But Jin Nuo was also a strong-willed person. Very few people could change what he wanted to do. Even with so many people pleading, he had no intention of letting Qian Tong off.

But just now, in his chat group, Zhang Lang of Freedom City said to him: “Jin Nuo, since you’ve decided to train Lin Zhen as your successor, then you shouldn’t interfere too much in his affairs, except for providing him with convenient conditions for cultivation, let him resolve his own grudges. If you take care of everything for him, how will he grow up?”

Fang Fei of Twin Trees Garden also said: “That’s right, I know you’re under a lot of pressure lately, but these aren’t the things you should be handling. Do you have to take responsibility for everyone’s affairs? I think this is putting the cart before the horse.”

Soul Lock Platform Feng Dao also said: “Exactly, if Lin Zhen wants to deal with Qian Tong, then he should be clear about the cause and consequence of the matter. Killing Qian Tong will undoubtedly offend many people. If he can’t handle the aftermath, he is not fit to inherit Falling Star Lake.”

Jin Nuo knew that perhaps these people all had their eyes on Saint-Level Elixirs. It was likely that Qian Tong promised a lot of things just to survive.

Falling Star Lake needed Saint-Level Elixirs too, but compared to Lin Zhen, who was the future successor, it was nothing.

However, what these people said made sense. He couldn’t possibly help Lin Zhen conquer the world. For such personal disputes, it was best to resolve them oneself.

Just as he was undecided, Lin Zhen returned.

*********

Upon returning to the Holy Land, Lin Zhen sensed something different in the atmosphere there.

People’s gazes at him were somewhat strange, laden with profound meanings.

Lin Zhen didn’t delve into the reasons. After he returned, he headed directly to the Alchemy Room.

Seeing Lin Zhen heading towards the Alchemy Room, many nearby martial artists rushed over when they heard the news.

Everyone knew about the ugly spat between Lin Zhen and Qian Tong. This time, Qian Tong sent people to kidnap Lin Zhen’s family and lost his son. Lin Zhen would definitely not let this matter rest. But Qian Tong was also not easy to deal with. He had been busy recently. Now that Lin Zhen was back, everyone knew there was a good show coming.

The news spread like wildfire, and soon a large group of people were following Lin Zhen, waiting to see how this matter would be resolved.

********

After Qian Tong sought help from a large circle of people, he received many comforting responses. In the end, it was clear that the situation would have to be resolved between him and Lin Zhen.

There were still many people in his room, all of them experienced students from the Heaven Class.

All of them had benefited from Qian Tong. Every martial artist needed money and elixirs for their cultivation. As a Saint-Level Alchemist, it was obvious how popular Qian Tong was.

A martial artist named Ma Teng waved his hand: “Saint Master, you shouldn’t worry about anything. What can Lin Zhen do even if he comes back? After all, his family members are not dead, right? It’s a minor issue. Once Lin Zhen is back, I will try to mediate for you. At most, you have to arrange a banquet and apologize to him. We can resolve this minor issue and forget about it over a cup of wine.”

“Exactly, even though Lin Zhen has recently gained the favor of our fifth senior brother, he, after all, isn’t in charge of the Holy Land yet. Even if he will potentially succeed as the Holy Land Resident, that’s likely millions of years from now. He has to maintain some respect for us old fellows.”

“Since there has been no serious consequence, let’s simply settle it. Being unforgiving and narrow-minded is not good.”

The six or so martial artists in the room all began to speak. Each of them had reached the God Transformation Period and could be considered the elite among the Holy Land’s veterans.

Qian Tong had prepared on both fronts. On one hand, he sought someone to plead his case to Jin Nuo. On the other hand, he had people come here to back him up – all to put pressure on Lin Zhen.

Qian Tong smiled: “Thanks for your help, everyone. I have already received a message that Lin Zhen will be back soon. I ask for your help in speaking words of kindness for me when the time comes.”

These martial artists agreed easily. After all, whenever Qian Tong asked them for help, they always benefitted, so naturally, they would be eager to help.

While they were talking, Qian Tong’s door was shattered as if it had been hit by a vehicle.

From within the dust and smoke, Lin Zhen appeared at the doorway.

And behind Lin Zhen, far away, a large crowd of people had gathered – all attracted by the spectacle.

Ma Teng, who had just boasted here, was taken aback by Lin Zhen’s direct disruption, which had made him lose face immediately.

Based on his status as a veteran from the Heaven Class, Ma Teng slammed the table: “Lin Zhen! What the hell are you doing? Don’t you see that there are many senior brothers here? Do you still know how to behave like a junior brother?”

Lin Zhen looked around and snorted coldly: “Senior brother? The only true senior brother in the Holy Land is Jin Nuo. What are you? Do you even have the right to call yourself my senior brother?”

The people who were originally going to act high and mighty all shut up.

In the Holy Land, only Jin Nuo could be considered a true senior brother. Otherwise, calling each other senior or junior brothers was just a formality — everyone was from the same faction and there was no real hierarchy.

Moreover, even if they were Heaven Class students, Lin Zhen was a Heaven Class student as well. The real determining factor of their order is the progress in the Thirty-Three Sky Tower and not the order of their initiation.

However, the progress of the few people present in the Thirty-Three Sky Tower was ahead of Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen was stuck on the twelfth floor at present, while they had all passed it. Ma Teng had already passed the twelfth floor, and the completion degree of the rest at this level was also above Lin Zhen.

After being rebutted by Lin Zhen, Ma Teng’s face turned red. He said with a grim expression, “Lin Zhen, let’s not talk about the senior brother issue. Let’s talk about the issues in the Holy Land. Everyone knows about your situation. Saint Master was indeed wrong in some ways, but there were no serious consequences after all. Furthermore, the Holy Land still needs his elixirs. I hope you can give priority to the overall situation and do not act impulsively.”

Lin Zhen sneered: “Impulsive? Qian Tong sent people to kidnap my family. If I hadn’t arrived in time, my family would likely be in a dire situation right now, and you’re saying that there were no consequences?”

“But aren’t your family members okay?” Another martial artist commented.

“My two sons are missing. They have entered the Endless Battlefield.”, replied Lin Zhen.

Ma Teng chuckles: “I thought it was something serious. It’s just that your two sons are missing. You don’t even know if they’re alive or dead. As a young man, Lin Zhen, can’t you have as many children as you want? But do you know, we only have one Saint-Level Alchemist – Qian Tong. He is our precious resource. Can you not tell which is more important?”

“Of course, I can.”

Lin Zhen looked at Qian Tong, “In my eyes, this man is no different than a rat. Even if he were scattered to ashes, he wouldn’t be worth a strand of my son’s hair. I must settle my issues with him today!”

Seeing Lin Zhen giving absolutely no consideration to his propositions, Ma Teng was filled with anger. “Lin Zhen, we are all studying the monument in the Heaven Class. You wouldn’t want someone to block you every time you study, would you? If that keeps happening, you might fall behind indefinitely, and it might even affect your future.”

Lin Zhen remained emotionless: “My future has always been in my own hands, it’s not up to someone like you to decide.”

“What! I am… Fine! Lin Zhen, I will not interfere in this matter. You should know that there are many people who need Saint-level Elixirs now. If you kill the Saint Master, it is you who will have to shoulder the blame!”

After saying that, Ma Teng and the other Heaven Class students angrily withdrew their involvement.

After all, Lin Zhen was someone Jin Nuo focused on. They did not dare to fight Lin Zhen but could only try to threaten him in every possible way.

But Lin Zhen didn’t fall for any of their tactics. With a determined gaze, he looked at Qian Tong, “Qian Tong, are you done with your tricks? If you are, prepare to meet your death!”
