"The Lin Family is finished."
Lev explained what had happened to the Lin Family.
Apparently, the Lin Family of Guyue City had been massacred over a secret.
In the end, only the old butler, Lev, had managed to escape with the Young Master, Lin Yuan.
Unexpectedly, they were pursued on their journey, and the sole heir, Lin Yuan, had nearly lost his life just moments ago.
Zhan Yang sighed with emotion.
"What a shame. The Lin Family Patriarch was once kind to me. I never thought it would end like this."
He looked at Lev.
"What are your plans now?"
Hearing about the Lin Family’s fate, Zhan Yang seemed to be reminded of something, and he was filled with sorrow.
A complicated look flashed in his eyes.
As he recovered from his injuries, Lev said, "Our Lin Family has a manor in Gambling City. I plan to take the Young Master there."
"His second uncle, Lin Ying, is at the manor. He should be able to protect the Young Master as he grows up."
He gave a bitter smile.
His aged face was etched with the hardships he had endured.
He was the Lin Family’s old butler and had spent most of his life with them; he was practically one of the family.
"That works out. We’re also heading to Gambling City, so it’s on the way. You can travel with us."
Zhan Yang thought for a moment and decided to bring Lev and Lin Yuan along.
Lev was incredibly grateful.
"Thank you."
Half a day later, Jiang Chen and the others had no choice but to get back on the road.
Although Lev hadn’t fully recovered from his injuries, he was able to keep up with the group.
"The Black Wind Jungle is up ahead. Everyone, be careful."
Zhan Yang reminded the group.
Soon, a dark expanse of forest appeared in their line of sight.
It was the Black Wind Jungle.
"Demon Beasts often appear in this Black Wind Jungle. Be careful."
Lev had now more or less recovered from his injuries.
He also knew that this Black Wind Jungle was extremely dangerous.
It was considered one of the few dangerous areas on the road from Guyue City to Gambling City.
Jiang Chen walked at the rear.
In front of him were JinLing and Lin Yuan.
The two of them were talking quite a bit on the way.
"Lin Yuan, you have to be strong."
JinLing said, patting Lin Yuan’s small head.
"Mhm, I will be strong."
"When I grow up, I’ll avenge my parents."
Often, however, Lin Yuan’s gaze would drift toward Jiang Chen.
"Big brother, you’re so amazing."
Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
"When you grow up, you’ll be amazing too."
Up ahead was Lev. After all, he possessed a Seventh Heaven Martial Master Cultivation.
He was naturally considered an expert.
"AWOOOO..."
They had just stepped into the Black Wind Jungle when they heard the continuous roars of beasts from within.
Hearing the roars, everyone grew tense.
"Everyone, be on guard. Watch your surroundings."
Lev held a short sword, advancing with extreme caution.
"AWOOOO..."
Just then, another series of roars sounded.
And they were very close.
Lev’s expression changed drastically. He shouted, "Quick, everyone gather up! A pack of beasts has appeared."
Quickly, Jiang Chen and the others formed a circle.
At the same time, a RUSTLE RUSTLE RUSTLE sound came from the woods.
Before long, Wolf Demons with purple manes began to emerge from the forest, one by one.
In just a short time, their numbers swelled to over a hundred.
Seeing the Wolf Demons, everyone gasped.
"Those are Purple-Haired Demon Wolves."
"Heavens, so many Purple-Haired Demon Wolves... We’re in deep trouble."
Seeing this, Lev couldn’t help but gasp.
The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf was an extremely formidable type of Demon Beast.
Their Cultivation was generally at the Martial Master Fifth Heaven level or higher.
Now, a full hundred of them had instantly surrounded the group.
The leader of the pack, in particular, possessed a Peak Ninth Heaven Martial Master Cultivation.
HISS...
Zhan Yang’s face paled even more dramatically.
A chill ran down his spine.
He felt cold sweat begin to pour down his body.
As for JinLing, her face was completely white as she hugged Lin Yuan tightly.
"Lin Yuan, don’t be afraid."
Lin Yuan was trembling uncontrollably. Just moments ago he had been dreaming of becoming strong, but now he was so terrified by the hundred-plus Purple-Haired Demon Wolves that he didn’t dare make a sound.
Even as JinLing tried to soothe Lin Yuan, she herself was so frightened that her entire body felt ice-cold, right down to her hands.
Jiang Chen’s expression was also extremely grim.
As the saying goes, enough ants can bite an elephant to death.
Now they were facing so many Purple-Haired Demon Wolves, all of them at Martial Master Fifth Heaven or above.
This time, they were truly in danger.
Jiang Chen knew that against so many Purple-Haired Demon Wolves, he couldn’t possibly kill them all with brute force alone.
’Looks like I’ll have to use my trump card.’
The only thing Jiang Chen was grateful for was that none of these Purple-Haired Demon Wolves had a Cultivation surpassing that of a Martial King.
Otherwise, they would all have become food for these wolves.
"AWOOOO..."
At that moment, the leader of the Purple-Haired Demon Wolves let out a roar in the direction of Jiang Chen’s group.
In that instant, the entire wolf pack stirred with a thunderous clamor.
Following their leader’s command, all the Purple-Haired Demon Wolves fixed their gazes on Jiang Chen’s group, their faces ferocious and their gleaming white fangs bared.
They clearly saw Jiang Chen and the others as their next fine meal.
Faced with the Purple-Haired Demon Wolves’ current formation, anyone without Martial King Cultivation was guaranteed a gruesome death.
But Lev braced himself and said, "You all run! I’ll hold them off."
In truth, as he said this, Lev had no confidence at all.
The scene before him had already made his heart pound with terror.
But he still decided to stay behind.
He even turned to look at Jiang Chen.
"Please, help me get our Young Master to the Lin Family manor in Gambling City."
He was ready to risk it all.
Meanwhile, Zhan Yang, Niu Tuo, and Lu Beifeng all had palms slick with cold sweat.
Trying to escape now was simply impossible.
But Jiang Chen just shook his head.
He said to Lev, "It’s alright. You watch over the others. Leave these Purple-Haired Demon Wolves to me."
What?
Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Lev shuddered.
He couldn’t believe it, as if he must have misheard.
He knew Jiang Chen was strong, but at most, he was only a little stronger than him.
And now Jiang Chen was actually saying he would take on a hundred Purple-Haired Demon Wolves by himself.
He had to be joking.
"Let me hold them off. You take the others and run."
"Otherwise, none of us will be able to escape."
Jiang Chen cut Lev off.
"Right now, no one can escape."
That was the reality of the situation. If they just ran, how could they possibly escape a wolf pack?
They were already surrounded by the pack of Purple-Haired Demon Wolves.
Lev gave a bitter laugh.
But Jiang Chen said sternly, "Protect them."
With that, Jiang Chen suddenly took a step forward.
His target: the leader of the Purple-Haired Demon Wolves.
If the Purple-Haired Demon Wolves charged Zhan Yang and the others, they would be torn to shreds in moments.
Therefore, he targeted the leader.
As long as he attacked the pack’s leader, the other Purple-Haired Demon Wolves would surely move to protect it, which would prevent them from harming Zhan Yang’s group.
Of course, Jiang Chen couldn’t guarantee the wolves wouldn’t attack them anyway.
But he didn’t have time to worry about that.
SWISH!
Jiang Chen’s gaze was filled with an icy aura.
In an instant, he locked onto the leader of the Purple-Haired Demon Wolves.
