"Could Lin Yuan be related to this Mr. Lin?"
JinLing’s words were an instant reminder to everyone.
One by one, they fell into deep thought.
Zhan Yang’s expression was grave. After a long moment, he said, "If that voice really was Lev’s, it’s very likely Lin Yuan is also in danger."
"There’s definitely something wrong with that Mr. Lin."
Everyone agreed with Zhan Yang.
The more he thought about it, the more Jiang Chen felt it was highly probable that Lin Yuan and Lev were being held captive in the manor.
Suddenly, he let out a soft "Huh?"
"Do you guys remember what Lin Yuan said before?"
"He told us to come visit him when we had time. I didn’t pay attention to the address he gave. Does anyone remember it?"
He suddenly recalled that Lin Yuan had mentioned an address.
He just figured he probably wouldn’t cross paths with Lin Yuan again, so he hadn’t paid it any mind.
Recalling it now, his mind filled with questions.
Although he wasn’t related to Lin Yuan, he had a good impression of that clever kid.
After all, they had traveled together on the road from Guyue City.
It just didn’t feel right to sit by and do nothing.
Niu Tuo slapped his forehead, a sudden memory striking him.
He exclaimed, "That’s right! I remember! I think it was... Qianlin Lane in the west district of the Gambling City..."
The group immediately re-examined the location of the manor they had just visited.
They were all instantly astonished.
"It really is that address."
"Looks like that manor is the Lin Family Manor. There’s no mistake."
They finally understood that the manor was, in fact, the Lin Family Manor.
The very same one Lin Yuan and Lev had gone to for shelter.
Instantly, the room fell silent.
It was obvious that everyone was pondering the same question: whether or not to intervene.
JinLing was the first to break the silence.
"The Lin Family was kind to us. Their descendant, Lin Yuan, is very likely in danger now. We have to find a way to rescue him."
She and Lin Yuan had gotten along quite well.
She was also very fond of the young boy.
Naturally, she was now worried about him and immediately proposed a rescue.
Zhan Yang was silent.
He gave a wry smile. "That Manor Master, Mr. Lin, has a cultivation at the Martial King Level, and there are plenty of other experts in the manor."
"How are we supposed to rescue Lin Yuan? We want to help, but we don’t have the strength."
With their strength alone, they truly couldn’t save Lin Yuan.
In their calculations, they hadn’t yet considered Jiang Chen.
After all, they were the ones who had received the Lin Family’s favor, not Jiang Chen.
If anyone was going to stage a rescue, it was their responsibility, not his.
Niu Tuo and Lu Beifeng clearly had no objections. If Zhan Yang said to go, they would, even if it meant death.
JinLing looked at Jiang Chen.
She asked, somewhat embarrassed, "Jiang Chen, could you possibly lend a hand?"
"Lin Yuan... he’s in a pitiful state."
"His parents and relatives are all dead. He’s all alone..."
Jiang Chen cut her off.
"I’m fond of the kid, too."
"How about this: leave the rescue to me."
JinLing was overjoyed. "Really?"
"If you take action, Lin Yuan can definitely be saved."
Jiang Chen felt a bit helpless. He had actually already been considering it.
It was just that he couldn’t get a clear grasp on the full extent of Mr. Lin’s strength.
If it were just Mr. Lin, it would be simple. He could defeat him and rescue Lin Yuan.
But if there were other experts inside the manor, then things would be uncertain.
He might fail the rescue and end up trapped himself, which would be a huge problem.
"You all wait here. I’m going to head out for a bit."
"I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to save him."
He planned to scout out the strength within Mr. Lin’s manor.
「Evening fell.」
Night gradually descended upon the land.
Darkness began to swallow everything.
After briefly gathering his things, Jiang Chen left the inn.
It was a dark and windy night, perfect for a kill. Jiang Chen set out alone for the Lin Family Manor.
SWISH!
A dark figure appeared swiftly near the Lin Family Manor.
It was Jiang Chen.
He had already learned the manor’s layout during the day.
It only had two entrances, one to the north and one to the south.
Aside from the two entrances, the manor’s perimeter was protected by restrictive barriers to prevent outsiders from breaking in.
The Jiang Family had similar barriers as well.
It was just a matter of how strong the barriers were.
Jiang Chen tested them. He couldn’t easily break through the barriers.
To breach them undetected, one’s cultivation had to be higher than the person who set them up.
These barriers were clearly set by Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin’s cultivation was at the Martial King Cultivation level, and it seemed he had broken through to Martial King not long ago.
He hadn’t even reached the Martial King First Heaven yet.
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then slapped his Spirit Beast Bag.
WHOOSH!
With a flash of purple light, the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf appeared by his side.
The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf had a cold and proud demeanor.
But with Jiang Chen as its master, it kept itself in check.
As soon as it appeared, Jiang Chen sent a telepathic message, "Conceal your aura."
The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf quickly concealed its aura. It shook its mane, still looking majestic and imposing.
With that done, Jiang Chen pointed at the Lin Family Manor.
"Take me inside for a look."
He swung himself onto the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf’s back.
The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf’s cultivation was at the Martial King First Heaven, a fair bit stronger than Mr. Lin.
The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf shot a disdainful glance at Jiang Chen on its back.
’It’s so depressing,’ it thought. ’A dignified Wolf King like me, being ridden by Jiang Chen... this is a disgrace to the honor of all Wolf Kings!’
Its resentment ran deep.
But it was just a fleeting moment of disdain. It wouldn’t dare have any real objections to its master, Jiang Chen.
The moment it showed any dissatisfaction, Jiang Chen would immediately know what it was thinking.
So, even though it was unhappy with its master, the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf remained perfectly well-behaved.
It bared its fangs.
The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf immediately carried Jiang Chen, its form like a bolt of lightning as it swiftly took to the air.
WHOOSH!
In a flash of black, the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf charged directly toward the manor’s restrictive barriers.
Almost silently, it slipped into the manor grounds.
Even though the barrier was broken, Mr. Lin didn’t sense the intrusion at all.
Once inside, Jiang Chen directed the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf straight toward the West Wing Courtyard.
He was very familiar with the layout, and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf actually knew the location as well. Without needing further instruction from Jiang Chen, it quickly appeared outside the West Wing Courtyard.
Although it was night, there were still quite a few guards patrolling within the manor.
It was clear Mr. Lin took the manor’s security very seriously.
Fortunately, after scouting the area, the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf sent a telepathic message to Jiang Chen: "Master, there are no experts here who can threaten us."
"The strongest one is Mr. Lin."
Almost without any obstruction, the man and the wolf appeared inside the West Wing Courtyard.
Jiang Chen extended his senses and easily located the room from which the cry for help had come.
At that moment, eight guards stood outside the room.
All of them were experts with at least Martial Master Cultivation.
Getting inside silently would be somewhat difficult.
Jiang Chen thought about using poison, but he realized he had already used up all his Soul-Breaking Poison.
’This is a real pain,’ he thought.
"We’ll force our way in."
Jiang Chen commanded the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf.
The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf nodded.
WHOOSH!
Its body flashed as it lunged toward the guards.
"Who’s there?"
The guards here were extremely alert. The moment they heard a sound, they immediately shouted.
