Chapter 2164: Chapter 2165: Zhou Han
Years of cultivation had already made him accustomed to it.
In the cave, it was silent except for the movement of Lin Chen’s hands, which danced, revealing and concealing spiritual energy intermittently.
"Indeed, this method of training is far too exhausting for the mind and body."
After a long time, Lin Chen sat on the edge of the bed, gasping for air. This required immense concentration and the support of spiritual energy.
However, Lin Chen wasn’t overly impatient, instead he gently closed his eyes and started replenishing his spiritual energy.
In such a state, time passed rapidly for Lin Chen,
Until the seventh day.
Outside Lin Chen’s cave, there came a series of gentle calls.
"I finally found you, you should go back and see, Sun Tianming and the others are in trouble."
From outside the cave, Chen Jie entered by moving the weeds aside. She looked at Lin Chen, who was practicing his sword skills, tugged at his robe and led him outside.
"What happened?" Lin Chen frowned and asked.
"It’s those people from the Azure Dragon Society. This time they went to the spiritual realm. It’s said to be extremely fierce, so some were eliminated early, and they’re furious."
Chen Jie explained slowly, her tone anxious, "They initially wanted to cause you trouble, but you weren’t home. Coincidentally, Sun Tianming and the others wanted to find you, so the two groups met. Not finding you, they naturally vented their anger on them. If you don’t return soon, I fear they might be in great danger."
Chen Jie looked tense, and if she weren’t the daughter of an elder, she might also have become a victim. These Azure Dragon Society people have taken advantage of gaps in the sect, committing many misdeeds.
At first, the sect ignored them, and when they grew to a certain size, the sect realized that more than half of the disciples had joined the Azure Dragon Society. Even if the sect wanted to manage them, it was powerless. As long as it wasn’t too excessive, the sect turned a blind eye.
Others who hadn’t joined mostly just pretended not to see, not daring to meddle in their affairs.
As a result, the Azure Dragon Society became dominant, making most people arrogant and insolent, fearing neither heaven nor earth.
"The Azure Dragon Society again." Lin Chen’s gaze grew cold. He never sought them out, yet they continuously bothered him over trivial matters.
"Do they really think I wouldn’t dare kill people in this sect?" Lin Chen gripped the Tianyan Ancient Sword tighter, a fierce aura in his eyes.
"These people may be somewhat restrained when elders are around, but now the elders are troubled by the Demon Sect issues. Many affiliated sects outside are rumored to be controlled by the Demon Sect, so they can’t handle these matters themselves, letting these people grow bolder." Chen Jie explained.
Lin Chen nodded slightly, saying no more, but the coldness in his eyes carried a strong murderous intent.
"Hey, little girl, what good is following that Lin Chen all the time? Why not come with us and let the brothers treat you well."
"You’re shameless!"
At this moment, at Lin Chen’s place, dozens of figures surrounded, forming a circle.
In the circle were Sun Tianming and Lin Wan’er.
Lin Wan’er was furious, seated on the ground. Though there were traces of blood on her, judging by her appearance, her injuries weren’t severe.
Sun Tianming, on the other hand, wasn’t so fortunate. He lay on the ground, fresh blood dripping from his mouth, staining the soil beneath him.
In front of them stood a man surrounded by others. Unlike the others joking with Lin Wan’er, he held a folding fan, gently waving it. As he waved, the words "Azure Dragon Society" were clear on the fan’s surface.
He was Zhou Han, the person in charge of Azure Dragon Society.
"It’s fine as long as you obey, but if you don’t, my brothers aren’t easy to deal with..."
Zhou Han’s fan waved gently, his smiling face exuding extreme coldness. He scrutinized Lin Wan’er, his gaze hinting at unspoken intentions.
"Bah!"
Lin Wan’er spat lightly, the blush on her face more evident, clearly Zhou Han had uttered something previously that was hard to endure.
"Refusing the toast, huh. Then go ahead." Zhou Han waved his hand but remained unmoved.
His gaze carried a hint of excitement, as he looked at Lin Wan’er like she was a lamb to slaughter. He watched Lin Wan’er’s growing fear; the terror that gave him immense pleasure.
Zhou Han enjoyed crushing people’s spirits the most, especially when hope was ground down to despair.
"By my estimation, it’s almost time."
Suddenly, Zhou Han guessed the time. As he finished speaking, a figure shot in from outside. Just as some burly men’s hands were about to assault Lin Wan’er’s chest, a cold light flickered.
Instantly, blood splattered like a fountain, severed hands flew, followed by screams from the room.
"Brother Lin!" Lin Wan’er’s face lit with joy.
Lin Chen’s face was dark, seeing Sun Tianming’s broken body and Lin Wan’er’s injuries, his heart was filled with guilt.
Zhou Han’s face was unchanged. His Azure Dragon Society man had lost both hands, yet his face remained calm. He slightly glanced at Chen Jie beside Lin Chen, licking the corner of his lips with his tongue, whispering, "You didn’t let me down."
Previously, Zhou Han’s plan had been to lure Lin Chen out. Chen Jie found Lin Chen because the Azure Dragon Society informed her.
"He’s Zhou Han, the capable assistant of the Azure Dragon Society’s leader, extremely vicious and known for his dark weapons," Chen Jie explained.
"You must be Lin Chen."
Zhou Han squinted, seemingly smiling, but the insidiousness couldn’t be concealed.
He pointed to Lin Wan’er on the ground, "Last time you saved this girl, now I’ll show you how we treat her."
As Zhou Han’s words fell, his eyes widened, a burst of mad laughter escaping from his lips.
His plan for Lin Chen was precisely this.
To defeat him and make him watch his once-protected person be humiliated. The thought excited Zhou Han immensely.
Anyway, the sect’s rules prohibit killing, so Zhou Han’s actions wouldn’t cause sect inquiries.
Lin Chen said nothing. His sole thought was to kill the man before him.
The sword was held diagonally. Lin Chen advanced steadily, step by step, with a murderous aura.
