Chapter 2346: Chapter 2347: Jin Ming

Fang Family, in the hall.

At this moment, Fang Lin had completely changed from his previously aged appearance; he stood straight, chest out, with a stern expression, and when he looked at the few people in front of him, his gaze was strong and unwavering.

Although his body was old and his strength not notably powerful, standing there still seemed to exert an intense pressure.

The few slightly younger middle-aged men beside him were the same, fierce in demeanor, glaring ahead.

"Fang Clan Leader, is it necessary to be like this? That young lad is not related to you; why insist on guarding him?"

Directly opposite Fang Lin was a man dressed as a cultured, refined scholar in a blue robe; he appeared handsome, though past middle age, his complexion was well-maintained, without any sign of aging, instead glowing with a certain radiance.

This was Jin Ming. The Clan Leader of the Jin Family, and currently a prominent figure in Qingmu City.

This popularity was not just because of his son Jin Yuwen’s outstanding strength but also due to Jin Ming’s own power having broken through to the Spirit Birth realm, at the second stage. This was an unrivaled presence in the small Qingmu City.

And so, the spiritual stone vein in the southwest corner of Qingmu City was in the hands of the Jin family.

"Now Lin Young Hero is a guest of our Fang Family. If he is taken easily by you, where would our Fang Family’s reputation rest?" Fang Lin snorted coldly.

Jin Ming had been here for a while already, with a clear purpose: he was here for Lin Chen.

"Are you really thinking of shielding a murderer?"

Jin Ming’s gaze gradually cooled, exuding a ruthless aura.

Despite his scholarly appearance, everyone in Qingmu City knew the viciousness of this man; when he made a move, it wasn’t merely killing but cruelly tormenting his targets.

This might be a reason for Jin Yuwen’s character.

"The matter is still unclear. You’re being too presumptuous. How can you be sure it was Lin Young Hero who acted?"

Fang Lin chuckled coldly, his beard moving slightly from his laughter.

His gaze shifted to the fallen man beside Jin Ming.

The man was completely drenched in red, his clothes stained entirely with blood, the wounds mixed with blood, sticking the torn clothes to the wounds, appearing horrifically fierce.

The man was lying on the ground, occasionally moaning lightly, showing he was still alive.

This was Tang Ming, who previously went out to find Jiang Ningyan.

"We absolutely cannot let Lin Chen fall into their hands!"

This was what Fang Lin thought, fueling his resolve more, as Jin Ming would do anything.

"Simple, you hand him over, if it’s not him, I’ll let him leave." Jin Ming said, his tone starting to show impatience.

"How about this, when Lin Young Hero gets tired of staying here, you can try to catch him when he leaves," Fang Lin said.

"Ha, if he never leaves, should I wait till I die?"

Jin Ming chuckled coldly, clearly disagreeing with Fang Lin’s suggestion.

Everyone here was cunning; they wouldn’t be easily fooled. Since Jin Ming was here, he was prepared to take Lin Chen; words wouldn’t sway him.

"Clan Leader, no need to waste words with him, just attack!"

"An old geezer, huh, does he think he has some tricks up his sleeve."

Beside him, voices erupted filled with aggression, fiery, glaring angrily at Fang Lin, signs of years of arrogance and dominance.

"Fang Clan Leader, I respect your age, but if you don’t hand him over, I’ll take him by force."

Jin Ming squinted, eyes filled with killing intent, making the room’s temperature drop suddenly.

"Then come and try! Even if I can’t defeat you, I can certainly make you suffer some losses!"

Fang Lin roared angrily, and within the hall, several burly figures emerged; they were the guards who previously defended Fang Qianqian.

Now that Fang Qianqian’s injuries have healed, and she is in the Fang Family, they stepped away from her side and began guarding the Fang Family.

With the enemy present, the guards naturally emerged, all brimming with murderous intent, their killing aura rivaling Jin Ming’s!

"I’ve always heard the Fang Family’s sentinels came crawling out of piles of corpses; indeed, it seems true watching now."

Jin Ming looked around at the sentinels, sneered, then said, "However, the gap in strength can’t be compensated by this!"

The sudden rise in sound made Jin Ming’s robe flutter without wind, and a powerful spiritual energy surge swept through the room, almost turning into tangible Qi Blades, striking the surrounding sentinels, making their eyes flicker and their skin draw streaks of blood.

No movement yet, merely the rising wave could wound!

It’s always been heard that the Spirit Pill realm and Spirit Birth realm have vast differences in strength, yet what Fang Lin saw was more shocking.

But this shock didn’t last long; it was replaced with determination. No matter the case, Lin Chen was Fang Lin’s benefactor; he wouldn’t hand him over.

"What? Still harboring delusions?"

Jin Ming sneered, his power wasn’t fully unleashed earlier, but seeing Fang Lin seemingly intending to persist, he added force.

The spread out spiritual energy now condensed into blade-like forms in the air, flying as if thousands of small swords were darting through the air.

"Oh, is this a magic show?"

Just as Jin Ming was preparing to unleash these airborne Qi Blades, a voice of light laughter emerged from the hall’s side door.

The laughter caused Jin Ming to pause slightly, then he turned his head towards the source, where a person slowly stepped towards the center of the hall.

Showing no fear, his expression calm, his gaze growing cold with some killing intent as he looked at Tang Ming lying on the ground.

This was undoubtedly Lin Chen, having rushed from the inner courtyard.

Now standing at the center of the hall, separating Fang Lin and Jin Ming, his own icy gaze fixed on Jin Ming.
